a Superfiuous Greatness. Post-Dispatch. The total disappearance trom poi- sticsof James G. Blaine is a phe-/ nomenon so strange, so wholely un- known and impossible elsewhere, as to be explicable tothe people who do not understand us. In all other constitutional tries a statesman who has risen to the coun- dignity ot a cabinet position is sure hat there will always be a place for him in politics. Defeat drive him from the field; he 1s often stronger in than when in the Government, untary retirement trom politics alone can terminate his influence. But this country Blaine had been for nearly twenty years a lead- ing political influence. Ten years ago he was the strongest of all po- litical candidates in the party tor the Presidency; he was Speaker of the House, and reputed one of the ablest and most brilliant of the Speakers ; he was made Senator; he wentintoa the Cabinet as Secretary ot State, an office which is now to be made next in succession te the Presidency, and he carried the des- times ot the nation and the decision of war or peace in the hollow of his and, as he once carried the politi- cal control of the State of Maine. He has been out of office hardly a year and he has disappeared from politics as completely as if he had been drowned in a well. Allithat ig ever heard of him is that he in good health and that he 1s growing fat and rich, but he 1s a very small milionaire to-day compared with his grandeur as a statesman 4 year ago. His party 1s in power, but he is in the cold. There is no room for him in the Senate. It is doubtful if he would be chosen to the House. All that he could hope for would be the banishment of a one-horse m1s- sion. Yet all kinds ot great interests are dealt with in his party and in does the opposition and vol- in 1s his government. The whole civilser- | “vice is to be changed, the tanff and internal revenue are to be changed, the National Convention is getting licked into shape, but the voice of Blaine nowhere heard and_ his party seems to get along very well without him. Is this an instance ot the ingrat- tude of republics? Not a bit of it. Is it aloss tothe country that it ittords no sure and permanent foot- hold in politics to its great men? No, itis not. It is a great and glori- ous thing that this country can get along without great men, that it does them, and that the plain common sense of its pliin common people is all the statesman- ship it needs. is not need Poor Josie Meeker. Boomerang. The fate of Josie Meeker, whose father was murdered and herselt and mother outraged by the Utes at the White River Agency, south of Raw- lins, Wyoming is a sad one. She was a poor sewing girl when her father was appointed agent tor the Utes ; accompanied her father to the agency; witnessed the murder of her father and the outrages upon her mother, and was herself sub- jected to the same treatment by Persune, one of the chiefs. After her release she was the subject of seme philanthropic talk, but was soon dropped, as an object ot pity. She madz her way to Washington, and suffered tor months. <At last she received a place as type writer operator in the office of Secretury eller; then when fortune to smile a little —a very, very litde— seemed Her remains were taken back to Greeley, Colorado, her tor- she died. mer home, and intered in the ceme- } tery there. And Persune-—one fiends who helped torture and kill her fath- er, and the one who repeatedly out- of the taged her while she was held a cap- tive—what of hin?

These tour boys started a tew , newspapess. They made ten cents a piece the first morning they went to work, and for thereafter they went barefooted, through the snow and sleet in the treezing dawn, on their morning rounds. From the first they saved a certain percentage of their earnings, which they wisely invested in Atlanta realestate.

Their net savings from their sales and salaries, exclusive of their rent, has been $20 a week tor this year. Next year they can do better, and by the time the oldest of the brothers 18 ot age they ought to have a comfort- able little tortune. What these boys have done other boys can do. The whole secret is steadiness.sobrie- tv, industry and economy. There are tew .essons more important tor boys than that the smallest amount no matter how little it may be—will make a great fortune if its only saved and invested, and that the smallest income—no matter how smail—will make a man_ independ- ent if he will only live inside of it and compound his surplus.
