Gov. Vance, ofNorth Carolina, hastak'
en- the stump in that State. In a recent
speech. after showing the tremendous rob-
berries committed 10 Alabama. Arkansas,
Florida, Georgia, Louisiana. Mississippi,
North Carolina, Tennessee and South
Carolina, he sums up with great power
this part Of his speech as follows:
NOW gentlemen, just to appreciate the
size Of this stealing, remember that the
entire taxable property Of North Carolina
amount to about $4,000 600, The
amount they have stolen from tho entire
South amounts to $24o.66S,O6S. nearly
twice as much. So they contrivcd in but
four years to steal two whole States the
size of North Carolina. AT this rate they
only need q few more years to steal the
whole South"

WHAT STOKES BULLET SAVED jim
FISK FROM.

Many things are now brought out
concerning Fisk which may surprise
his admirers. One is the fact that at
the time of his death he was running
dewn in business habits. and that had
he lived he would soon have been GUS
ted from his weli-feathered nest. Fisk
was not a frstclass business man.
His friends cl9imed this distinction
for him as a compensation for his
bad habits, but it Is now evident that
he was vastly overrated. 1t may,
then. be inquired how he could have
obtained so important a position.
The reply is. that he got into the
confidence of Daniel Drew, who had
an extensive influence in the Erie
road and desired the former to be IN
its service. In this manner Fisk was
placed in a position which he I'M
proved to commit the most reckless
robbery. 1t is now said that Drew
became disgusted with Fisk 5 manage
ment, and bad for three months
planned his removal, but was antlcl-
patch by the assassin. Fisk, at the
time of his death, was utterly insol-
vent. He had wasted large part of
his stealings in dissipation of costly
character, and it it said Miss Mans
field had pawerful rival, whose estab-
Ishment cost an enormous sum. 1t
is supposed that Fisk spent from So
600 to 81 cooper week. This rate is
suggested by the fact that his pocket
money found on his person after his
death, consisted of fifteen one hundred
dollar bills. This was not business
funds. Indeed, had it been such. it
would have been deposited in the
bank. 1t was evidently his loose
change, to use a common term. and
it is probable that it would have been
all gone before Monday. Fisk was
orerratod prodigiously because his
bravado passed for courage and his
for enterprise. Sudden
death no doubt saved Fisk from
becoming street loafer.-Cor-
respondence Rochester Democrat.

Of the route was barren and sterile, and
noone would be so foolish as TO buy bonds

How to Commence Business.

There are many young men who are in
the habit Of excusing their idloness and
ineftlciency with the plea that they can dc
nothing without capital. The lack o.
means Is the ready reply they make tc
every appeal to action. They imagine
that they possess in themselves all the
prerequisites to success except capital,
Il they only had capital, in addition to
their other imagined virtues, they would
do great things in the world; they would
grow and astonish the natives with the
boldness and brilliancy OF their enterprise.
They would become immensely rich, and
lay the world under perpetual obligations
to them by themagnificence Of their bene.
factions. This Is the way they think
and talk, and they roll the vain. glorious
idea over in their minds until they come
to imagine that the world Is an immense
loser by their poverty.
These persons forget one important fact
that all capitall Is the product of labor.
That nearly all rich men in this country
were once poor. That nearly every per
sonal fortune they can enumerate Is either
the product OF its owners toll and skill,
or the representative Of his fathers toll
and skill. f.r s.sil
How did the makers OF these fortunes
get along without capitalg Had they
spent the vigor of their youth in idle and
foolish lamentations over their poverty,
they would have lived and died poor, and
lett nothing but an inheritance OF honesty
behind them. Capital allied to labor and
skill eau work wonders in the war oi
material enterprises. But money is not
the only indispensable thing 10 young
men. There are other kinds of capital
besides accumulated money; brains
muscle, industry, honesty, diligence
truth, fidelity, skill, tact, education-dL
these are capital, and all of them have Q
commercial value, which the owner will
Le able, sooner or later, to command
in the market. Provided with these
any young man in this country may
make more than he needs to spend every
year, and thus have something at the end
Of each year to invest as money capital
II he needs money let him go TO work and
make II, and thus give proOfoi his ability
to use 1t proftably and judiciously. L
VIC go into any great city, or into any
prosperous agricultural district, we find
the capitalists are those who have made
their fortune without any outside aid
They did not waste their time in repining
at their poverty, and in silly dreams 0i
what they could do II they had tho money
to do It with. They went boldly and
resOlutely TO work; they toiled and thought
and planned, and kept toiling and think.
ing and planning, patiently, until at last
they grasped the fortunate moment, and
succeeded.-Exchdn0e.
