take time for thorough examination Of
the ground than to rush on bindfolded.
When the right men, the money and the
conveniences needful to success can be
secured, go ahead, but not before.
We need not say that we desire the
growth of manufactures in the State In
that direction we must bend our energies
as people. But the starting of manu-
features without forethought, destitute OF
the means to maintain themselves, Is not
the way to establish but to postpone and
destroy the very thing itself. Let agita-
ton and effort go on, but along with them
there should go prudence and discretion,
and sooner or later. at the proper time,
the means to success will present them
selves and the desired object may be at
tanned Patient waiting is as necessary
as vigorous action. They will succeed
who can control the elements in business
which we have indicated as essential to
prosperity; all others will probably meet
with failure, and retard the progress of
the community.

This is more than Brigham Young has count

an almost fanatical belief among the Mormon

A WORD or CAUTION.

In the awakened interest in the State for
the establishment of manufactures, there
is danger of overlooking facts essential to
success, and rushing into enterprises upon
an unsound basis. 1t is Il favorable sign
to witness the liberal spirit which is
abroad, but unless it is directed in the
proper channels and governed by pru-
dence and discretion, failure or worse will
come of it.
We see towns voting in aid of this or
that enterprise, and hear of companies
about to be formed to carry on certain
kinds of business, as though all that is
necessary to be done is to procure the
towns favor and secure the promise of
capital enough to start. How many boot
and shoe factories are projected we can
not say. They appear to be the most pop
ular. Probably because they are numer-
Gus in Massachusetts and have been sue
cessful there and at some localities in
Maine. Now we do not doubt that boot
and shoe factories may be established in
Maine and be successful. We know they
can be because we have examples of flour
ishing factories now in operation. Maine
is as good a locality, with our present
railroad communications, for the shoe
business, as Massachusetts. But we lack
experience, skill and capital, and unless
these can be supplied new companies start
ing here will be crushed to death in COM
petition with old, rich and well sustained
concerns. The shoe business prespers at
Auburn as we'll rs at Lynn, because il has
skill acquired by long experience, knowl-
edge of buying and selling, capital, and
the ability to avail itself Of all improved
machinery and methods to lesson the cost
of manufacture. Those who manage
these concerns have grown up in and with
the business. When they started it was
more simple and less expensive than now,
but as it advanced they Were qualified to
keep step with it, and thus they have been
able to maintain themselves and become
what they are. The expectation that new,
inexperienced companies, poorly supplied
with capital and skill will meet with the
success of old and strong firms is not rea-
sonable.
As It is in the shoe business so it il in
all other kinds of manufacturing business
money and skill. Hence we adj
wise those who are pushing such enter
orises to .make haste slowly" Better

but the majority behaved like men. The
chaplain of the cemetery, in his declaration
at the court martial, said that the boys had
done nothing to merit such severe proceed
ings; that what they had done resembled all
boyish freaks. and asked their pardon; but
his worthy magnanimity has since been re-
warded by removal from his office.
The parents and relatives of several of the
boys were willing to sacrifice large sums of
money for their lives. 1t is SAID that the
father of La Campo offered one million with
out avail. No time was given to the unfor
tunates to make any Preparations for the
cruel fate that awaited them; they could not
be allowed to leave their watches and trinkets
to their friends.
