The Herald has received the following
significant dispatches. They show that the
people are aroused and determined, if
possible, to have "change." Indiana
Democrats are enthusiastic and sangulne
of success. Michigan will be carried by
the Fusionists, which means at least
seven electoral votes for Cleveland. Hi
nois may even be swept by the coming
tidal wave into the Cleveland camp. Little
Oregon, too, is inclined to throw off the
Republican shackles. And our neighbor-
ing State of Jersey has caught the spirit
Of the hour, and, as the chairman of the
Democratic State Committee affirms in an
interesting interview published below.

is complete. Democrats are very sanguine
of success, but great work is yet before

on the part of Democrats has never been
equalled in Indiana.

the value of money and enlarges his
capacity for business. People often
follow mistaken ideas in their efforts
to develop faculty of saving. For
instance they will save quite earnest
Iy for certain time with the view of
making a trip, or buying horse, etc. f.,
when they nave accumulated suffi-
cient amount. Thus they spend in one
day or two weeks all that they have
saved in months. Then they have to
begin all over again. This removes
the charm os saving. 1t is much cas-
Ter to save a hundred dollars when we
have $50 to begin with than it is to
save $50 when We start with nothing.
Every young man ought to keep a
personal account of each cent he re-
ceives and spends. If his expenditures
are before him in black and white. he
will be much more likely to cut them
down, if they are numerous and prod
igal, than he would if ne kept no rec
ord of them.

The business failures in the United
States during 1888 reported by K. u.
Dun q CO., number 9,1S4 against
6,93S in 1882, an increase Of 2,446.
The liabilities for 1883 are 1872, OOO,-
600. against SOL, 100000 for 1882.
The failures the last year were greater
than those of any year since 1873,
when they reached 10, AS, with liabil-
tiles at 1884, 100000. A close analy-
sis of the tables presented in the cir
cular shows that OUT Of every ninety
four persons engaged in business in
1888 one person failed, while IN 1873
one person failed out of every sixty
four traders. In Canada the proper

one failure to every forty-eight traders

exchange argues that the United

istion because Of its seventy-six men,
bers all but four are rich, and hence
have no temptation to be dishonest.
1t is said that collectively their wealth
is slS0,OOO,OO0. Certainlyit ought to
be true that in law making they should
look only to the best good of the coun-
try, and yet the common experience
with rich men is that they are con-
stantly thirsting for more riches, and
with that sort ofan appetite and the
means which their wealth puts at
their command, it is common ex-
preston that they see less clearly the
line of substantial justice as between
the richer and the poorer classes than
do those who have not given their
souls to money getting.

One of the hardest things for a
young man is to learn how TO save
money. Few persons learn this Sc
cret early in life. Hundreds never
learn it. Young men naturally want
to see everything that can be seen ;
they want to go everywhere that any
one else goes. and they want to look
as nice as the next one. Careful, econ
omy in their sight is something akin
to meanness. In proportion TO an in
crease in their salaries their wants
multiply. They find it just as easy to
spend 81 800 year as $500. Many
young men who have nothing between
themselves and starvation but their
daily earnings live up to the last cent
of their income. Weeks come and 60
and still they continue to spend every
dollar they make, as if they had lease
upon good health, and as if reverses
and contingencies were so uncommon
as to make it unnecessary to provide
for them. Scores Of men, who have
growing families dependent upon them,
do not know what it is to have $50
laid by. Some accident or sudden
sickness may cut them off in a day.
Their death throws widow and her
children, without cent, upon the
mercies of the world. This utter dis.
regard for the future is more than i'm.
provident-it is wicked. That man
who does not look beyond the present,
and who is not willing to make sacri-
fees to live under his income-no
matter how small it may be-is not
fit to raise family. He has not
sense enough to take care of himself.
The dicipline of self-denial, of calcu-
lating the cost of things, of looking
ahead, which attend the saving of
is the very best training
young man can have. 1t teaches him

A decision in a peculiar and prom.
iuent case has Just been rendered by
the Supreme Court of Massachusetts.
Mrs. Hardy, a Spiritualist, was, in
1869, married to John Hardy.
Subsequently, by mutual agreement,
and upon the payment to Hardy of
$4,000, he procured a divorce in Utah.
She then married Ezra @. Perkins,
and shortly afterward, dying, be-
queathed one-half of her personal
property 70 her husband. Suit was
brought by Hardy, involving the
question whs was the legal husband
of the woman at the time of her death.
Perkins had also died, leaving 800,
900. 1t has now been decided that
the Utah divorce was illegal, that
Hardy was the legal husband of the
testatrix when she died, and that he
was entitled to one-half of her personal
estate, he not having consented in
writing to her will. Hardy was not
a legatee of the viii; aud Ezra 6.
Perkins it is found, is the person
meant by the word husband. Hardy
married again several years ago, and
is now living in Boston.
