WHAT Is NEEDED.

The country wants industrious
and energetic men-who will work
at anything that is honorable in
which there is money to be made
We have some who do this, but the
trouble with this and all other couc>
tries is, that we have too many OF
that class that are content to exc out
miserable existence-"hapd to
mouth" drones on society to make
the country prosperous and self-sus>
tanning. Steady employment is just
as certain to bring prosperity as the
sun rises in the east. Most of our
bad luck, as it called, can be traced
to our own doors. Through our
idleness we have brought poverty,
not only to ourselves but 10 our fam
lies. We should work more and
idle less, remembering that in the
course Of an ordinary lifetime, thou
sands Of dollars are lost on account
of loss Of time. II u man succeeds
in this life he must put in full time.

WHAT A CcLoRED EDITOR SAYS.
The Chicago Conservative says:
"RepublicanS close their factories in
the face of the black man, merchants
refuse to hire him, mechanics refuse
to labor with him, ard common la
borers will strike if he dare intrude.
The Southerner gives the negro a
place to work wherever his ability
hts him TO serve. Factories, farms,
foundries and stores are frequently
managed by colored men. The
Southero man holds that labor is the
sphere of the negro and will help him
till it, but the Northerner will feed
him fat upon principle but allow
him to starve TO death in practice.

1t is to Messrs. j. F. Nash, f. +. Bull and the
Simon Bros. that are due the thanks Of the com
munity for the treat OF last Tuesday evening,
since it was these gentlemen who induced Re-
mcnyi to return for second concert. They as
sured him he would have much larger house
than he had had before; and they did not mlsead
him, for on Tuesday evening upwards Of 400 were
in the audience, including many from the coun.
try and neighboriny towns-two lovers of the
"diVine art" even ,ndlkjng down from Marseilles
TO hear him. Tho concert was u great success.
Remeny was in excellent humor and played with
his usual elegance, spirit and power, and was
greeted With s'r,at applause whenever he ap-
peared or disappeared, and responded cheerfully
TO all encores. Mrs. Thurston and the other men,
bers of the company seemed better than before,
and the audience insisted on having an encore Of
Mrs. It's rendition of SeJers Flower Song"
from Faust.
Those who know Remenyi only as he appears

can know but little of Remenyi the man. An
audience will 30 home remarking, He's great

as the sparkle of the wine, not the flavor, which

There are unmistakablc signs Of ryturnin Z
sen>e in insurance companies in the matter OF
rates. 1t is certainly most agreeable TO policy
holders to obtain low rates; but insurance at low
premium in company unsound is the most use
less of business ventures. The aggregate results
Of the business this past year have shown thai
the rates charged have been so low az to serious
Ily threaten the stability and usefulness Of the
companies and the value Of protection of policy
holders. Many companies have retired, "bust-
ed" and not few have retired "wth honOrs OF
war;" while yet they were able. But with the
return of business, comes a determination on
the part of all the best companies at least TO
submit to no further reductions Of rates and
they instruct their agents, believing that pru-
dent men are willing to pay fair prices for good
insurance. No advance is ordered, but instruc-
tions to that effect coming soon may not be un-
expected. While, Of course, none desire to pay
greater premiums than are necessary to secure
protection this step on the part of insurance
companies cannot be satisfactory, indicating as
it does the suicidal war which has been against
the interest of both policy holders and stock
holders.

Nothing is more certain than that an era OF
good times has returned 1t is everywhere vsi-

more goods than they have this season; railroads
are crowded with trains and short of cara; heavi-
ly laden train after train passes and passenger
trains are doing large business. Ottawa has
not been behind the rest of the world, and the
quantity of goods sent out OF town is something
remarkable. During September the sales of our
leading houses were larger than they have been

barely half dozen duh days during the month.
