The Chance In the West.

The San Francisco Bulletin has written an
open letter to young man of Waldoboro,
Me-, who wrote to inquire what the chances
were of his succeeding if he went to Califor-
MIA, and the answer ma 1e to the question is
one which is worthy Of extended circulation,
as it applies in part not only to California,
but to the entire country. The Bulletin says
if the applicant has trade which he
thoroughly understands, and is not afraid to
work hard, that there is an exceedingly good
chance of his getting along, and in time Of
his making money. The state is as yet un-
settled, in the sense that it could without
trouble support several million people, and
hence there is an abundance of room for those
who come to be part of the bone and sinew
of the community. But for unskilled labor,
or for those without capital who desire
light work in offices, there is not the least
demand, the supply already being far in
excess of all possible requirement for long
time to come. The Bulletin therefore ad-
vises its questioner, If he belongs to this
latter class, to stay where he is unless
he is so fortunate to arrange in advance
for some position which he can enter into
as soon as he arrives on the Pacific slope.
The advice is good, and can be given at
present to those living in the country who
are thinking Of going in search Of employ
ment to any of our large cities. Until one
has tried it, he can form no idea of how
hard it is to find employment for men who
are simply unframed laborers. No matter
how willing they are, there is little that
they can do, and for this little there is a
host of competitors. Those who are fairly
educated, who desire to enter stores and Of
fees, find that they have to take their
chances with young men who, for the pur-
pose of acquiring knowledge of the bust
ness, are willing to serve for two or three
years without pay. If they possess some
special training, can sell boots and shoes, or
sort wool, or understand the rudiments of
any one of hundred forms of business,
their chances are immensely improved; but
the tendency of time is to make all men
specialists that is, that they should, in
order to get along well, understand some
particular art, profession or craft. The Pc
riod when young man could come green
from the country, and find his way speedily
to the top of the mercantile ladder, has long
since passed away, never to return.

Fruits OF RESUMPTION,

The Springfield Republican says that the
clearinghouse exchanges in the principal
cities of the Union for the first six months
of the current year give fair basis on which
to estimate the condition of business since
the federal treasury resumed specie pay.
ments. The total volume Of these ex-
changes, as compared with the same period
in the last year, is a fifth larger; taking
New York alone, where three-fourths of
these exchanges are transacted, the increase
is fourth larger, and, excluding New York,
the rest of the country shows an average in
crease of seven per cent. Next to New
York, with its exchanges amounting to sl2,.
100000, 900, comes Boston, with 81, 200, 0O0,.
600, and showing an increase of eight per
cent. OF the business transacted in New
York in settling the balances between the
banks, one-sixth arose from stock transac.
tions, and it is to the increase in these that
one-third in the growth Of the volume of the
business done is due; but excluding these,
the returns make it clear that the commerce
Of the country based on the exchange of com
modities not dealt in on the stock exchange

the growth of the exchanges of the country
it appears that the country is just entering

son Tewik succeeds him. The present
Egyptian dynasty was founded in 1911 by
Mehemet Ali, an Albanian of low birth but
Of great capacity and energy. Ismail, the
khedive who has just retired, is the grand
son of Mehemet, and has endeavored to in

taxed his people without mercy and incurred
enormous debts, spending the money on in
ternal improvements factories, etc. His en-
terprises Of this kind gave an appearance Of
progress and life to the country, but they
were ill-planned, dishonesty managed and
enormously wasteful When his income be-
came insufficient to pay the interest on his
debts his private property, or part of it,
was sequestered to meet the demands of the
foreign bondholders; then financial minis.
ters, English and French, were forced upon
him, but they made themselves so obnoxious
that they were deposed and driven out, and
came near being murdered by coup detdt,
and the khedive has lately been trying to
get on with native ministers; but the for
eign bondholders had no confidence in them
and several of the powers, in order to pro-
tect the interests Of their subjects, Jointly
demanded the khedive's abdication. The
