bar of the State before he wa. rled into politics. He waE ognized as a very good jury law r, and the jhdges say they liked o listen to his arguments because of his lucid method of presentation He camte back to Lincoln from two terms in congress with hi practice somewhat demoralized, but in the two years between then and his notmination for the presidency he had more than regained the lost ground. Since 1896 he had done very little law work, and be definite ly abandoned it in 1897. The colonel's ability as a money maker was demonstrated, after his first defeat, by the success of his book. Additional evidence was given when he began the ptblication of his newspaper. With sublime confidenceOin his own powers, lie disdained the advice to secure a practical newspaper man as his business manager. He instal led his brother in that post, but he himself has been the man behind the project. Without the aid or counsel of men experienced in news paper circulation departments he secured a paid up circulation of 25, 000 weekly before the first issue wa printed. When it came out lie had almost doubled that number. Since theii each month has seer a steady growth. Predictions tc the effect that his success would I ephemeral were disregarded ald time has proved his Wisdon. H< insisted then that the demand foi his paper would not abate in year: to such an extent as to compel it: abandonment. -le argued that ther< are enough Democrats interested it what lie considers the vital prin ciples of Democracy to preserve t< him a substantial subscription lis for years. His business far-sightedness wa: demonstrated again in the schem that he at once put into operatiot as soon as success was assured. A editor of the paper he draws a salar: of $5,ooo a year. The remainde of the profits of the eiterprise ar invested, largely in govermnen securities, in what lie calls a trus fund for his subscribers. The purpose of this is to providi ,i-e paper with an income permanen in its character, so as to insure it: life for an indefinite number o years. In other words, lie has pro vided for the eternal publication o The Co .unoner without any draii upon his other resources, eveni the subscription list dwindles to no thing.
