crnment." Ho sneers at "doctrin
aires," refers with contempt to "neb
ulous theories" and "hysteria."
And as if the burden of his own
department were not heavy enough,
ho tilts at insurgents in general, de
clares that their movement is a
"fantasy," a "mirage," that it haB
been greatly magnified, and suggests
this comparison: "When you aro on
the plains a cow on tho horizon looks
forty feet high, but when you come
to it it is only an ordinary cow."
Whether tho charges against tho

that ho is in lamentable need of
sound political sense. Ho proves it
oven if his opponents are affected by
hysteria. For tho disposition of the
public is always to call down the
man who adopts a contemptuous tone
of superiority toward the public, and
every statesman with a policy must
have public support if he is to suc
ceed. Honesty, deep sincerity, the best
of motives could not excuse such
stupid methods. There is a wrong
way of trying to do tho right thing,
and to the politician it is always
costly. If he is to achieve results
ho must keep that fact in mind all
tho time. Ho must work with tho
peoplo and not to all appearances
against them. He can never afford
to strike an attitude and pass out the
compliment "Tho public bo d d."
What confronts Mr. Ballinger is
not a nebulous theory but a trouble
some condition of public sentiment.
And it will be made worse by trucu
lent methods. The administration
should understand that they can lead
only to disorganization and a' dismal
wreck.
QUALIFICATIONS
An auctioneer adverHooa Uu ma
office window for an assistant, and
added a list of qualifications which
showed that he expected his new man
to possess all the virtues.
Many people read the notice and
turned away, but at last a more ven
turesome individual entered the office
and informed the auctioneer that his
brother was just the man for the
job.
"What's your brother like?"
queried tho autioneer. "Is he
quiet?"
"Oh, yes."
"Used to a long time stopping in
one place?"
"Rather. Sticks to one spot like
glue."
"Never gets into trouble through
meddling with other people's busi
ness?" "Never."
"Wouldn't answor back if I called
him the hardest names I could think
of?"
"He'd bo as mum as a fish all the
time."
"Jove! He's the very man I want.
Where is he now, this brother of
yours?" eagerly inquired the auc
tioneer. "Couldn't say with confidence,"
dryly responded the man as he
backed toward tho door. "He's been
dead for the last seventeen years!"

A PROPHECY FULFILLED
"I am not a prophet not the son
of a prophet but I make this pre
diction: That if this policy of pro
tection is continued in this country,
tho time will soon come when these
favored interests will say to the peo
ple of the United States: 'We thank
you for protecting us, for lo, these
many years, from foreign competi
tion; wo will now protect ourselves
from home competition: we will form
combines; we will pool our capital;
we will stiflo the natural law of sup
ply and demand; we will sell you
our goods at our own prices.' "
The above words were spoken by
Frank A. Dean, November 7, 1892,
in the Thomas opera house, Char-
lottee. The word "trust" had not
then been coined in this connection
and was not in our political diction
