CAUSES OF FAILURES IN BUsrNEss.-The
leading cause is an ambition to be richly
grasping too much defeats ITSELF Another
cause is aversion to labor. The third cause is
an impatient desire to enjoy the luxuries of
life before the right to them has been at all ac-
quired. Another cause arises from the want
of some deeper principles for distinguishing
between right and wrong than reference
merely to what is established as honorable in
the society in which one happens to live.
Reason and virtue alone can bestow liberty.

name and character. 1t should be re-
memhered that Grant had been honored
by his country of twice being elected Pres
ident- His cup of fame was filled to over
flowing. When he songht a nomination
for a third term, republicans killed him.
Republicans maligned and distrusted him.
Republicans charged him With treason to
his country. Republicans charged him
with bargaining With European poten'steS
to destroy the republic, and upon Its
ruins build an empire. Republicans IN
suited him and finally beat the political
life out of him. Still this man, 50 DIS
honered, 80 covered with obloquy by such
men as Garfield, turns upon a fellow sol
der with the malignity Of viper tor the
purpose of destroying him Han
cock is grand. He is superb. Above de-
ceit-spurning a he-he hesitaies to be-
Iieve that Grant is so dabauched as to IN
lure him, even in private conversation.
We are quite willing to leave the matter
with the American people. The worst
ioes Grant ever had we're the delegates to
the Chicago convention unless 1t be that
Grant himself is still greater foe.

but the injury which our free institutions
will sustain resulting from the frauds and
corruptions praetieed by the republican
leaders to secure their triumph is meal
culable. The causes which enabled the
republican parry to succeed in the cleo

to Africanize our State for political pnr-
poses, the corrupt use Of money TO pnr-

Trouble in the Enemy's Camp.

Blaine's voice has failed. There is no
doubt Of it, as a physicians certificate is
appended to statement cf the fact TIE
San Francisco Call of October 18th, says:
thereafter Blaine will probably be sill
ent spectator of the fight. 1t is not at all
surprising that Blame should have lost
his voice The speeches he made in
Maine were, perhaps, no longer than he
WAS accustomed 10 make, but they wer.
less successful. He went west into Indi-
ana, and was there doing good service,
when the intelligence reached him that
Conkling, Cameron and Grant had calico
on Garfield at his home in Mentor. Blaine
knew what this might be interpreted to
mean. With President Hayes in Oregon,
Sherman silent, ard Conkling, Cameron
and Gr.nt in consultation with Garfield,
the ms inct Of prophet was not needed to
fix Conklins's Place IN Garfield Admin
istraton. Where Conkling Is there Blaine
cannot be. Where Blame is Conkline
will not go. Blaine comprehended thar
Conklins had been accorded the place in
Garheld's Administration which Blame
had expected to fill, and the shock took
his voice away. There is little wonder.
1t was Blaine more than all other mel
combined who nominated Garfield. When
ne found his own domination impossible,
he comprehended that uniess the opposi-
tion to Grant concentrated on a new lea.
der, Grant would be nominated Such
result was to be avoided. Garfield had
come up in the convention as a conspice-
Gus figure, and there were no cpmbina-
tions formed against him. His nominz-
ton was possible, and with Blaine it was
accomplished. If Blaine had carried
Name by ten thousand majority, hi.
graf rival, the New York Senator, would
not have seemed So necessary as TO allow
him to make his own terms But Maine
changed .he face Of the canvass, and
Conkling seemed the man who could most
certainly change it back again. Under
these circumstances, it Is not at all sur.
p,ising that Blaine lost his voice.

The Supply Of Wool.

Unless the wool growers Bulletin, which
ongbt TO be pretty well advised. is greatly
mistaken. sheep men need have 10 fear rh':
there will he any material decline IN t.-
price Of WOO, for some years to come. The
Bulletin says:
The country does not grow enough wool
to supply the manufacturers, and her manu.
facturers do not make enough goods to clothe
her people. In order 10 make up the aeti-
cheney, We must import both ool and goods.
The amount of wool that We need each year
Is estimated from 30, 900. 900 TO 100. 0OO, 01U.
The worst bears of the market DO not claim
over 10000, 600 Of foreign wool now IN the
country, and these same parties say it Is
much smaller than usual, and 1t is notorious
that the Countrywide interior has not
been barer Of wool for many years. if ever
before, since wo"l was grown IN the oocntry.
We believe we have made statement Of
facts which would ,ead us TO the conclusion
that our supply Of wool would he short IN
less We imported more wool, but the fereign
markets are firm. and prices 50 high a. 20
prevent any further impOrtatioDs OF woci.
In fact, the worlds wool crop promises to t'e
short. while more machinery is running than
at any time during its history. What does
this signify-simply that wool should CON-
mand good prices unless everything goes 10
