BILIOUS BUSINESS PROPHECIES

A good many business prophets are
giving y gloomy forecast of the new
year.
The recent decline i'm stocks and other
speculative articles; the slight falling off
i'm the breadStuffS and cotton crops for
the last year, and the comparative strin-
gency of the money market, are inter-
preted rs indicative of n commercial
and business reYulsiOn ut an early day.
The fact of an increase in the business
failures ofthe past year is also pointed
To rs proof that the general prosperity
has reached its climax and is now on
the down grade.
The Philadelphia Times very peril
nently says in reference to this subject
that: "These fears come wholly from
two claSSes-the timid who are ever
ready TO magnify any shadow into a
tempest, and who take on individual
panies every now and then and believe
that the whole world is panic-stricken;
and those who live and enrich them
selves wholly by the creation oftictitious
wealth in high tides of general prosper
ity. The shivering holders of stocks
and securities see their values
decline for a season and they
are happy only when they make
themselves miserable by believing
that everything is going to the demni-
ton bow-wows. The gamblers who
create money out of nothing beyond
their own audaeity and public eredulity,
see halt called i'm the acceptance of
fictitious wealth, and they regard pros
perity as at an end because cheating in
the manufacture of values is no longer
profitable"
This is the bottom of the matter. We
do not expect that there will be no ups
and downs in the business of the new
wear, but the country, As whole, Is
both solvent and prosperous. Nearly
every i'll that is now felt in business
channels il the direct and logical pro-
duct of the speculative craze. Legiti-
mate enterprises of every kind are pros
porous. The industries of the naticn
are sound, and there can be no general
or lasting panic in the land while the
country and all its various productive
classes are earning more than they
spend.

THE year which has just closed has, If
the London Times is correctly informed,
been one of considerable prosperity in
Great Britain. An Improvement Is
noted in nearly all the leading lines of
business. Pauperism has decreased;
deposits in savings banks have increas-
ed; more business has been done at a
greater profit, and the condition OF
things in general is said to be in high
ly satisfactory and promising condition.
What is more, the Times anticipates
that the opening year will be more pros
porous still, and that the high-water
mark of 1878 is likely to be touched if
not passed. This story is very different
from what we have been hearing all
along, for they have been giving out
that everything in Great Britain was in
q bad way, and that legislation was
necessary in order to avert financial
collapse.

sit can hardly be pretended now"
says an exchange, that there is any ex-
cuse for continuing the exhausting pro-
cess of debt reduction without regard to
the rights of the people who have al
ready done the most arduOus part of

national debt is less than One-haf OF
that of the United Kingdom, and less
in fact than any of the principal
European nations.

not have ventured to predict seventeen
years ago that the extinction Of our
public debt could be effected within the
lifetime OF generation. Neither do
we think the most extreme advocates

ParoxysmaI kissing.
Philadelphia Times.

IIIWtI'TF tITtTII 4 II'''s
Two or three Ohio ministers have recent
" been discovered in the pleasant indul-
gence of kissing other peoples wives and
daughters. Strangely enough considerable
disturbance has been made about it, and it
threatens to revive the old discussion about
what social privileges minister really has.
and what is the difference between pas
toral kiss and a paroxysmal kiss, ana
whole lot of things like that. With winter
lust fairly set in and Stalwart administra-
ton in full blast at Washington, the coun-
try is very poorly prepared for this.
