Til-'5. BLAINE-CONKLIN FEUD.
A QuarrelWhlch Doubtlelc Changed'thgi
Course of National Events. ’_
The feud which existed between
James G. Blaine and Roscoe Gonkling --
from almost the time .When they en-
tered public life at Washington until.
the deathuof Mr. Conkling in 1888, a
period of more than twenty years, had
its origin in the sixties, shortly after
the close of the rebefiion. Both were
members of the House ‘of Represents:
lives, and Schuyler Colfax, subsequent
ly vice~president of the United States
'and Mr. Blaine’s immediate predeces
so: in the chair, Was speaker. The
story of the causes of the breach and
the incidents directly associated there-
with have been told and often retold.
It is sufficient now to say, only that the
effect of that quarrel undoubtedly had
an influence upon, if it did not actually
alter. the natural course of the politi-
cal destiny of both participants. In-
deed, it may be assumed reasonably
that it altered even the history of this
country itself. Had it not been for
that unfortunate dispute one may. read-
ily believe that the list of presidents,
from the 'date of the retirement of
Grant, would never have contained the
names‘of Rutherford B. Hayes, James
A. Garfield, Chester A‘. Arthur, Grover
Cleveland, or Benjamin Harrison, and
that the blood of Garfield would never
have been shed by an assassin. Thus
may be estimated the far-reaching re-
sults of a petty combat in debate, be-
tween two equally capable and bril-
liant statesmen, in the course of which
each lost control of his temper and in-
dulged in personalities clothed in lan-
guage as offensive to every sense of
propriety as it was unjustifiable and
undignified in any controversial arena.
When the rupture occurred both men
were young, alike in years and in po-
litical-experience. They were rapidly
rising to leadership in the same party,
and that party seemed, at the time,
destined to dominate the political af-
fairs of the country for a long period to
follow. There was room within its
ranks for both to acquire distinction
and attain a. high plane of usefulness
without undue impetuosity. The
friends and admirers of either were the
friends and admirers of both. Thestl
were amused by the parliamentary in-
cident and looked upon it as a more out-
burst of passion which would soon be
forgotten. They were mistaken In
their judgment, however, although so
far‘as Mr. Blaine was concerned this
hopeful view was undoubtedly justi-
fied. Impulsive by nature, quick at
repartee, witty or sarcastic as the oc-
casion seemed to demand, he was wile
ling to take as much as he gave and to
extend his hand in peace when normal
conditionsrwere reatored.
But Mr. Conkllng was of an entirely
different type. He was easily s‘wayed
by his instincts of like and dislike; His
aggressive. nature would tolerate no
opposition. His manner was haughty
and at times overbearing. His pres-
ence was commanding, his language in-
cisive, and his method of delivery Im-
pressive. In the controversy in ques-
tion he appeared to forget that he was
the aggressor, and that his unwar-
ranted words of contempt and disdain
applied to Mr. Blaine were wellcalcu-
lated to stir the indignation of any self-
respecting man capable of striking
back in kind. Mr. Conkling had evi-
dently misjudged the intellectual qual-
ities of his adversary, and he was
stunned into helpless speechlessn‘ess
at the delivery of the scathing retort.
His vanity and egotism were Suddenly
punctured beyond the possibility of re-
pair wl-thout leaving a scar that must
always be exposed to the gaze of the
world. Thus, without pausing to inter-
pret or qualify his own words charac-
terizing Mr. Blaine, he denominated
those of the latter as the language of
insult, and there loftily and forever
rested his case. '
The Llmeood.
Full nine-tenths of all the paper man-'
nfactured in this country is consumed»
as newspaper and wrapping paper.
Both classes of paper are short-lived,
after once being used. They are soon
sent to the ash-barrel, or serve for
kindling fires. Seldom do people retain
the daily paper after the week in which
itisissued. Hence it is readily seen that
under the new condition the life of the
eight hundred million feet of spruce
lumber which enter into the production
of white paper and wrapping paper is
limited to a few weeks at most, while
the spruce lumber which enters into
the construction of dwellings, ware-
houses and business structures often
subserves‘ its purpose for a century or
more. The enormous droughts upon
the forests for the purpose of wood
pulp and paper is intensified by the
short duration of life in pulp and paper
products. Once used, they are 'of no
further value. “’ith the present low
price of paper, it does not pay to gather
old papers, as was the custom in pas:
generations. And yet spruce wood is
by far the cheapest raw material in the
production of pulp and paper over yet
discovered and utilized. _
Adulternted Food in France.
France knows how‘.to protect the
small rights of her people. Anybody
who doubts the genuinencss of an an
licle ‘of food Cthat he has purchased
from a Parisian tradesmen, may take
‘ it to the municipal laboratory for an-
alysis. It will cost him nothing to have
it analyzed and ,the fact determined
whether it is adulterated or unadulter-
ated; and, if the latter, the law deals
with the offender. without further al.3-
tion on the part of the purchaser. The
shopkeeper is liable to be heavily fined,
imprisoned. deprived of the few civil
rights he is supposed to be further en-
titled to, and has to display conspicu-
ously in his shop window or on his
door for a year, a large placard bear-
Ing the words, “Convicted of Adultera-
tion.” . ., . ' . « '~

iaThe collapseof the Diamond Match
Trust emphasizes thefact that in the
long rufi speeulatiVe ino‘nopoly means
bankruptcy. ' '
A'No sensible and observing busine8s
man can doubt this. No honest man
can wish to doubt it. The laws of
trade have not changed. Atfibottom
they are, the laws of human nature,
andhuman nature .is so constructed
that in the’ long run fair play wins
and foul play loses. '
It is true thatln business there are
seeming exceptions to the rule, and
that these are sometimes striking—so
striking that in the minds of many
they seem to overthrow it. But they
do not. The success .of the Standard
Oil Company, for instance," is the ex-
ception, not the rule. The supply of
coal oil is strictly limited by nature.
Having secured control of all import-
ant oil regions in this country, the
Standard Oil Company uses itslenor-
mous and fraudulently obtained
power to maintain itself in wrongful
possession of a field that nature itself
has restricted.‘ Even this success, the
greatest achieved by monopoly in
modern times, is not permanent, and
is only maintained by censtant strug-
gle at enormous cost. But'Where the
field is free, where opportunities are
open to all, speculative monopoly is
doomed from the start. .
.Whenever such a monopoly is or-
ganized it invites increasing competi-
tion, not only from legitimate inves-
tors, but from those who 'wish to
“break in," to blackmail or “nickel-
pla’te” it. Such“ competition has be-
come a recognized feature of the trust
system. So soon as a trust is estab-
lished speculators begin to see what
they, can do in starting up companies
,which are 1101: intended to compete
i with it legitimately, but to compel it
to buy them out or “take them in on
the ground floor." The Goulds could
not break into the Diamond Match
Trust, but they have succeeded in
bursting its speculative stock bubble.
This sort of thing has been carried
so far that only a few of the existing
trusts are succeeding in holding up
prices. The restore being victimized

In a. well knownbank Iln Edinburgh,
the clerks are. presided over by a
rather impetuous manager whose vio-
lent fits of .temper very often domi-
nate his reason. For instance, the
other day he was wiring into one of
them about his bad work.
“Look here, Jones,” he thundered,
“this won’t do! These figures area
perfect disgrace 'to a clerk! I could
than those, and I tell you I won’t
have it! Now look at Ithat: five. It
looks just like a three. What do you
mean, sir, by making such beastly
figures? Explain!"
, “I—Jer—I beg pardon, sir,” sug-
gested the trembling clerk, his heart
fluttering terribly; “but—er—well, you
see, sir, it is a three.”
“A three!” roared the manager.
“Why, (you idiot, it looks just like a
live!”
And then the subject was dropped
for an lindefinite period.

A workman engaged in casting
metal for the manufacture of ord-
nance in the .Woolwich arsenal lost
his balance and fell into the caldron
containing twelve tons of molten steel.
The metal was at white heat and the
man was utterly consumed in less
time than it takes to tell it.
The War Department authorities
held a, conference and decided not to
profane the dead by using metal
in the manufacture" of ordnance, and
the mass of metal was actually

dead over it. -
THINGS TERSELY SAID.
Life is a. book
0f clear. white pages. given us at birth.
Wherein to write the record of our lives—
The record which beyond us still survives.
The story of our pilgrimage on earth.
A. Bronson {Alcott crystallized a
great truth when he said: “We mount
to heaven mostly on the ruins of our
cherished schemes, finding our failures
successes.” ‘
John Wesley showed how foolish
is was for men who hope to win' to
spend their time in fretting when he
amid: “I dare no more fret than I
dare curse and swear.” '
When Peter Cooper was asked at
an advanced age how he had accom—
plished so much and had preserved
his strength of body and mind so well,
he said, “I always find something to
keep me busy.” ,
Charles Dickens uttered a sentiment
tab-ant every young man who desires suc‘
cess would do well to lay to heart,
“The one safe, serviceable, remunera-
tive quality in every study and pursuit
is the quality of attention." ‘
Sir Walter Raleigh, when asked how
he managed to, achieve so many and
such diverse things in such brief
times as 'he‘ required for accomplish-
ment, said. “When I have anything
to do, I go and do. it.” ' ..
The everlasting truth that character
is sure 'to win success was put in
concrete form when William [Evarts
said of a famous preacher: “The man
behind the sermon is the secret of
John Hall’s power." .
qrohn Stuart, Mill showed how pos-
s ble it is for a 'manto rise above his
environments in 'these 'words, “Though
character is formed by cirCumstances,
our own‘ desires can do much to shape
these circumstances.” '
