MIR. pows SUCCESS.
A Millionaire Publisher Who Was AshameSS
of His Business.

Atlanta Constitution.
Mr.. BOWS history is full of pointers for spec
ulative publishers and literary men. He was
printer and until 1850, earned about ten dol
lars week. One day big scheme flashed into
his mind. He knew that the country was full OF
aspiring young writers who would give almost
anything to see their productions in print. Why
not start periodical for the benefit of this cass
The idea struck him favorably. He had less
than five dollars in cash. but his credit was good
for few hundred dollars.
So Dow went boldly ahead and founded the
Waverly Magazine. He paid nothing for contri-
buttons and published everything sent in. Every
scribbler subscribed and purchased extra copies
to distribute among friends and acquaintance.
After four months the paper was success and
commenced paying its proprietor weekly profit
OF $50 The circulation increased, running up at
one time to so, 600 copies. The advertising also
paid well. Dow soon had an income of $50, 900 a
year. He invested his money, and almost be-
fore he knew it was a millionaire.
1t is singular fact that this mans success al
ways CALLED him. He felt no pride in it. He
was the wealthy publisher of mammoth peri
odical filled with stories, essays sketches and
poems, and yet he was an outcast from literary
circles It did not help him to boast that he
never published an immoral line The answer
was that what he published was simply balder
dash. He had voluntarily made himself the
organ of mediocrity and inanity, and even the
poorest pen-worker with spark Of the genuine
literary spirit considered him beneath his notice
There was nothing positively dishonest about
the Waverly. It's owner in his way. was a good
citizen, doing his duty to his family. his neigh
bors and the community. Still no always felt
ashamed of his prosperity, and regarded his repu-
tation as falling little short of infamy. The
point in the whole business is that Dow was will
ing to degrade literature for profit No man can
do this in such country as ours and be re-
spected. The humbest American believes that
the purpose of literature is to elevate, in
struct, refine and entertain. and people can
not help despising the man who makes it his life
work to food the land with millions of tons of
printed stuff whose tendency is to enfeeble the
minds of its readers. This is no harsh judg-
ment The common instincts of intellectual self
preservation require us TO place editors and pub
fishers of the Wavery slush class under the
ban, at least in literary sense. Still, there is
money to be made in publishing trash. The field
is wide and it offers tempting inducements to all
lovers of gain.

THAT DAKOTA STORY.
Authoritative Denial Of the Reported Move
mcnt to Set Up the State Government.

AutnOrlt3Ilve DSClSI OI the Reported move
mcnt to Set Up the State Government.
Chicago Intor Ocean.
Some fellow out at Sioux Falls, D. T., who
has the capacity of Munchausen. wrote a letter
the other day, which was published in the Ar
gus. of that CITY, and then telegraphed all over
the country. Some papers who have little re-
gard for the truth of what they publish in their
was received in the Inter Ocean Office, but
thrown aside as unworthy of the space it would
occupy; but as some of the enemies OF Dakota
are making effort to use it against the people
Of that Territory, it is thought best to give it
attention.
According to this letter-writer. ex- United
States Attorney Campbell Congressman Ka-
mouse, Governor Mellette and other friends of
the statehood movement in Dakota are organic
ing military force in order to enforce the state
hood movement in case Congress fails to admit
Dakota as a State. To anyone who is acquainted
with these gentlemen and understands their con-
nection with the statehood movement, all such
talk would pass as the mere vaporings Of some
blind partisan, who desired to defeat by misrep-
resentation what he could not by argument and
truth.
Mr. l.. ID. Lyon, a prominent Dakotan and
editor of the Watertown Courier. who was in
the city yesterday. was asked what his opinion
was in regard to 1t. His reply wss that it was
"a fasehood; lie upon its face and ought not
to deceive anybody" He knows the gentlemen
mentioned intimately, and says hat any state
ment connecting their names with any such
scheme is sanderous. They are all of them law
abiding, patriotic men, who, while they favor
the statehood movement earnestly, will do moth
ing that will jeopardize the peace and prosperity
of Dakota. He said, further that ne did not
believe :hat the Argus, as was stated II the
dispatch, would vouch for the reliability of such
correspondent Such things. he said, injure
Dakota in the estimation of people at distance,
and he believed this to be the work of one of the
malicious enemies of the Territory.

The College of Cardinals.

.16W W OTIu
Cardinals can be chosen from any Christian
country. provided they are adorned with the vir-
tues of their sacred ofice--virtues that mus be
known to the Pope and the members of the
Sacred College By bull of Pope Sixtus V in
1885, it was decreed that no person could be
created cardinal who had brother. uncle
nephew or cousin within the second degree al
ready member of the Sacred College. 1t was
not until the eleventh century that the College of
Cardinals was established as it exists to-day
composed of cardinal bishops, cardinal priests
and cardinal deacons The number of cardinal
bishops may be six. the cardinal priests fifty aud
the cardinal deacons fourteen. the whole number
of the sacred college being limited to seventy,
corresponding to the elders of Israel. The Ro-
man purple has for centuries been esteemed the
proudest honor that could be bestowed upon the
noblest houses OF Europe, but none are excluded

manufacturer is Democratic, and is the heaviest
contributor to the Democratic campaign fund.
Because of the fact that they may continue In
power, these men would gladly see all American
industries sink TO everlasting perdition, and
would gladly welcome the foreign manufacturer
to come in and possess the land.
Martin County Tribune This is quite con-
trast to the prosperous period OF this country
during the ascendency of the Republicans.
Business men and capitalists have shut down
their business and locked up their capital to

Huntingburg Argus The nomination of men
who can be elected is good But it is far more
important, in most Northern districts, to nom

The exclusion of NEE who damage the party,
who fight against its principles. who seek selfish
ends regardless of public interests, is especially
important at this time. If the Republican party
returns majority of the House, and that ma
jority behaves badly or proves incompetent it
will be heavy blow to the party, and the conse-
quences in the next presidential election will be
serious

This statement shows a remarkable decline III Blush
imports within the past four years and yet does not
show that decline fairly, because tho fall In prices has
been great and the decrease In quantities imported
must have far less than in value Indeed, there
seems reason doubt whether the fall OF less than 70
per cent In value OF imports may be due entirely
the change in the purchasing power OF moneJ. This
objection is still important with reference to the
exports TO countries which declined In
value not about per cent since 1883. after
