A SelfMade Man.

All these stories about self-made
men and the amount of property that
they have succeeded in accommodating are
getting to be rather monotonous Besides
the public attention is not called in order
that praise may be bestowed upon an
other class Of men who are tireless in
their race with wealth. An instance
comes to mind-and all the facts can he
vouched for-of young man who, at
the age Of 90, was left an orphan and
heir to about half million. How much
better such q story reads than the old
one of being honest but broke This
young man had two strong arms-that
was all he could get when arms were
given out-and determination to see
lite regardless of the expansion of head.
He scorned to run in debt, but settled
down in modest apartments at the
Hotel Brunswick, determined to live
within his income at all hazards, unless
he could see an opportunity for larger
investments. With one object steadily
in view, he worked early and late-early
in the morning, which was sequel to
the late work ut night--and time
showed how much energy he had lying
around loose. Without attempting to
follow him in all his arduous duties, it
is sufficient to say that to-day the young
man stands on the proud eminence of
bankruptcy, hight which he has
reached ,oaided, and he has proven the
utter fallacy of poor men being honest.
This is only one instance. If the press
will let up on the other class for a
while, it will be considered an evidence
that they agree to tell no more of those
foolish stories

wife, in addition to her natural work,
takes her share in the business, and
such is the case in a great many other
occupations. She keeps the bo>|s' she

the reputation and the career which he
has made. Even in that case she will

was stationed on the corner of Main and

marched out into the middle Of the street

A New Orleans correspondent
charges the FARMER with opposition
to the construction of the North
eastern Railroad. This error has
doubtless grown out of the fact that
we have been unable to see any i'm
mediate prospect of the road being
built by the parties who have re-
Gently conspicuously figured in the
New Orleans papers, as we have
never written word in opposition
to the road, and we would rejoice
to see any prospect of its immedi-
ate construction. The prosperity
of the country parishes depends
somewhat on the prosperity of New
Orleans, and one of the great needs
of that city is cheap fuel. In order
to be able to compete with other
places, either as a commercial or
manufacturing city, New Orleans
must have cheap coal. and that can
only be furnished by the Northeast
ern road tapping the great coal
measures of Alabama, at o distance
OF soy two hundred and fifty miles.
The completion Of this road would
give new impetus to the manufac-
turing industries OF New Orleans.
II would start hundreds OF furnace
fires, and millions Of spindles would
give labor to thousands of unem-
ployed hands. Next to q perma-
nent channel to the sea, we believe
the building Of this road is the most
important factor in the prosperity
Of the State and city-even if it
carried nothing but coal. When

One of the most powerful organi-

of corruption, bad government and
the election of hoodlums to public

partment of the city of New Or

usefulness departed with the intro

which we need only refer to what
the papers Of that city say about
each other. The honest portion of
its citizens have nothing to depend
on for substantial relief except the
integrity Of the country press and
members Of the Legislature. The
first thing in this direction is to
abolish the Volunteer Fire Depart

In the South the Republican
party is composed of black men.
and q few whites. who. during the
war, were officers in black repi-
ments. If Grant lad been nomin-
ated at Chicago, the blacks in the
South would generally have voted
for him; but with his defeat the
black vote is hopelessly and forever
lost to the Republican party. They
do not know Garfield any more than
they did Hayes, and they were SO
disappointed, fnot deceived in him,
they will risk no more such men.
The defeat of Grant was the result
of John Sherman's candidacy, and
John Sherman is responsible to the
Republican party for its loss of the
black voters of the South. OF course
the Republicans of the North will
continue to howl over the great loss
of this vote, and attribute it to bull
doing and all that sort of thing;
but the truth is, if John Sherman, a
year ago, had committed suicide,
Grant would have been nominated
at Chicago, and the blacks would
have voted for him.
