THE whole Pacific coast will take
a long breath, now that Dennis
Kearney is as last in a place espe-
cially fitted for all such blatant
moutled disturbers of the public
peace. The only wonder Is that he
has not dangled at ropes end
months ago. From the beginning of
his unenviable notoriety, he has been
committing what, in all common law,
should be styled covert treason;"
since, we believe there is such a
thing as treason against a commune
ty as we'll as against sovereign
nation. Dennis Kearney is doubt
less in a fair way of becoming a
wiser man.

The Men who Make Business.

One man who makes business ap-
pareptly out of nothing, is worth
q dozen of those who simply attend
to business after it has been firmly
established by others. All those
great business kings who have
startled the world and kept it in
commotion by their unprecedented
and continued successes, have been
men who, as q general thing, created
their own business from what would
seem to the common observer, bar
rem and unfruitful fields. If this
were not so. as a fundamental prin-
ciple in the economy Of human at
fairs. it would be utterly impossible
for some men 10 accumulate the
princely fortunes that come to them
in n short lifetime. Nay, it is the
almost stereotype confession of the
worlds successful business men,
that they never brooked delay, never
waited for something to come to
them, but, making an opportunity
for themselves, they pushed the war
into The enemy's country and con-
uue,ed, not by main strength and
awkwardness, but by an energy
that never Jagged. The dictionary
contains, for those men, no such
word as fail.
Untiring industry, temperance,
small gains and frugality are ele-
ments with which hard times and
money Ianics have little or moth
ing to do. 1t is an old story. u
hundred times told, that Slow and
steady wins the race We do not
believe in the principles that actuate
the miser; but we do believe that
nine -tenths of the poverty of the
world might be avoided did every
man, first Of all, live within reason.

energies towards the creation and
maintenance of honorable and
profitable business.

IT has been suggested by mem
Der Of the Town Board, and we like
the suggestion, that the field day
system be continued, at reasonable
intervals, during the Spring and
Summer. In this way, a large
amount of work can be done in i'm
proving our already beautiful town
and nobody will feel out of pocket
nor the worse for the exercise thus
expended. There are two sound
reasons for this suggestion, our some
what depleted treasury, and the I'M
usual call for repairs on streets and
bridges caused by the severity of
the Winter just past.

JOHN RELLY's BLUNDER.
TiIden Already Organizing His orces
tn New York.

New York Special to the Chicago Times. ]
The Democratic State Committee
meets tomorrow at Albany, and will
issue the call for the State Convention.
| Everybody thinks that John Kelly
has perpetrated stupid blnnder by
announcing his programme thus early
ia the day. In the Kelly conference
at Albany last week Tilden WAS fatty
defied, and, having now seen the hand
his enemies propose to play, the Sage
of Gramercy Park has set to work
promptly TO organizs the Stae
in his Interest. There was no in>
tention of calling the State Com
mi.tee together so early until Kelly
proclaimed war. But now Tilden has
ample justifi for an immediate
opening of his campaign in this State.
1t is every where believed that if Kelly
had worked with some discretion and
secrecy he might have headed la the
State Convention an anti-Tilden ele-
ment of considerable influence. The
party at large were still in hopes of a
reconciliation between the factions,

mitted the blunder Kelly has made
in thus early rendering reconciliation

king Of wire pullers will do this easily,
any more than they doubt that he is
a candidate for the Presidency, and
that his name will be presented at The
National Convention unless he sees
beforehand that he has no chance.
Tllden controls the State Committee.
He has In his service more regiments
of Influential Democrats than Kelly
has corporal guards, and there is no
doubt that he will win more decisive
victory in the State Convention, over
his opponents, than he did last fall
at Syracuse. Kelly has lost ground by
issuing the premature proclamation
that he will not abide by the decision Of
the majority, and he has now given
such an opportunity to Tilden to exert
himself to make the whole Kelly
movement ridiculous that il lie
doubted, even by the friends Of the
latter, that the forlorn hope he leads
will be able to take contesling dele
cation 10 the National Convention
which will receive the faintest shadow
OF countenance or favor. The bellig-
Grant manifesto of the Kelly crowd
has precipitated The commencement
OF political activity in this State, and
from this time until November the
politicians expect lively time.
