Show OUR BOYS. The dispatches bring us the welcome news that two Utah boys graduated the other day, at the Sew York school of dentistry. This affords another illustration of purpose and aim, of direction di-rection and encrffy. Out of a class of eighty-five their names appear among the ten successful ones. As mountain ; peaks tower above their surroundings. so do these young men rise above the many competitors. They a re now prepared pre-pared for practice. They commenced tbeir investigations at the foot of the ladder, beginning with the elementary parts of the structure of their profession, profes-sion, ami from thence upward through a graduated series to th goal of dental den-tal success. Napoleon once said. "There is no success like success.' Cut succoss is not acquired "by spasmodic effort or aimless course. It is the offspring of .preconceived, pre-arranged plan, me-"thodically me-"thodically and systematically followed, and that too with candor power and push. Ultimate success is not of the mushroom family, it is not related to the accidentals. It is composed of a collection of allied successes, each of which is a parent to the one that follows. fol-lows. Each of the links in the chain of success was at one time in the process pro-cess of progression, as an effect.and afterwards af-terwards a cause. The change indicates indi-cates a forward movement, an volution volu-tion of power, an increase of strength, culminating in success. The gold dollar is not the result of 7 chance, but of a well understood, preconceived pre-conceived plan, methodically pursued, from its crude state through the various var-ious changes and processes, until it passes through the mint and appears with its country's stamp a testimony of its value. So with these 'young men. They have passed through many arduous trials, but they had fortitude, self-reliance, hope. They collected their forces together, marshaled them into strict discipline, inarched up the hill, stormed the walls of obstruction, and took possession of the citadel. It was their opportunity and they took advantage advan-tage of it. Other opportunities, equally as vrtlr uable, present themselves without number. Other arenues leading to glorious and honorable goals are wide open. They are extremely inviting t those whose back bones are not made of rubber. True, the path that leads to excellence is not bordered with smiling flowers nor beds of indolence and ease. It winds through thorns that lacerate, it passes close by many a whirling eddy, it meanders over lurking lurk-ing quagmires, through narrow defiles, i j .j . . .. aiong tut tortuous sices oi precipitous cliffs. What of it? Eyery struggle successfully ended adds strength to strength; every height attained gives broader views, and every good act accomplished, ac-complished, through difficulty, goner-ales goner-ales force and builds character. What of the Gladstones, the Bis-marks, Bis-marks, the Clevelands and Blaines? "What of the Franklins, the Fultons and Edisons? What made them great and why are they honored? Are they the chance children of fortune? No-, they are the representatives of hard , labor, intelligent action and wise measures. And here at home are . young men, who but a few years ago may have been called dullards, poor but honest boys, endeavoring to win. Step by step thev advanced, often times slow and against tremendous O'lds, Where are they to-day? Some preside in dignify in cur academies, some are lirilli.n nt orators and astute lawyers or leading physicians. Others are at the head of mercantile firms or working up towards it. Many are among the test artists, mechanics, and farmers of the land. Put -where are j hundreds of others? Down, Town be- j low. What are they doing these many years? Sitting down, bewailing their fate and cursinr f")tun'. Get up, young man. and look np and move up. The world is as wide as ever. There areas many opportunities to-day as in the days f Adam. Your help is needed. You want to be a factor in the movement of the world." Brush np. Dig out the laziness.' Put energy into your bones. Ii you stumble and fall, don't whine, but get up again. Dedicate your soul to God and your life to some useful, labor, and yotir epitaph ep-itaph will be chiseled in the marbled pages of history and the metcories of your Doble deeds will spring up oiit of ' your 'tojub and hallow ihe turf that, covers you. j I jromgn manufacturers nave found a way t, circumvent the tariiF law just as the publishers found how to circumvent the lack of an international copyright Inw. The plan waa revenlc-d by Herr Jung, one of the delegates to the Inter-I Inter-I national Iron and Steel congrem. Herr Jung said: "Ab a result of the visit of German iron men to this country, many j of oar most experienced iron mnnufact-I mnnufact-I urei-s will irrrest their money here and j become citizens of the republic. Yieita j are being made to every part of the United Sta'. by delegates with a view of establishing at different advantageous points great mannfactorirs." It will then siall be competition between American Amer-ican and German iron making, but the competition will be upon American soil.
