Golden Thoughts.

Golden Thoughts.
The same good resolutions made last JAN
uary will do for this year.
Let the intention be ever so good, if the
determination is lacking-then good bye to
success.
Hope is the handspring of happiness; res
olutiOn is the secret OF success.
They can conquer who think they can.
1t is impossible for that man to despair.
who remembers that his helper is OmnipO-
tent.
Do the duty that is nearest thee.
Success in life is often achieved by max
ing good use of adverse circumstances.
You cannot dream yourself into a char
acter: you must hammer and forge your
self one.
1t is really of little consequence who we
are--it matters more what we are.
They are never alone who are accOmpa-
MED by noble thoughts.
Do not fail to make good resolutions now
because you tailed to keep some you made
last year. Try again.
God is kind Father, to whom you can
tell your joys as well as your troubles.
You cannot serve satan without cost.
What he demands and will have, is the
purse as well as the person.

A correspondent from Sioux Falls, Da-
kota, writing to the St. Paul Volkszeitung,
gives an interesting account of the celebra-
ton of Christmas in the Territorial peni-
Tertiary at that place. We are indebted to
Chas. Morton for translation of the same.
Christmas was celebrated by an entertain
ment given by citizens of the city, by a
feast. and by giving the inmates the privi-
lege of associating together; in fact much
as it was celebrated with us. The CORE
spondent, speaking of the method says:
There are two classes of criminals. and
sympathise with the one class. who once
more felt themselves as men. am of the
opinion that such treatment helps far more
towards the reforming of men, than an I'M
friendly and rigid treatment
There can be no doubt of the change
which has been effected through the instru-
mentality of few earnest laborers in the
field of philanthropy. When the idea is
firmly fixed that men are imprisoned to
make them better; and not to punish them
to crafty the righteousness of their prose-
cutorS, victory will have been gained in
the cause of humanity that will live through
out the ages and our penitentiaries will be
occupied by those alone who belong there

TERRIBLE VISITATION.
a Water Spout Sweeps tho Valley,
Carrying Death aud Destruction
Before 1.-THE People Taken
without IL Warming.

Hor SPRINGS, Ark, August 3l.-To-
day is an epoch in the history Of Hot
Springs. The city is gutted. Ruin and
wreck meet the vision everywhere, and
nothing like it has ever been known to
compare with the results of the storm,
which occurred last night, too late to be
telcgraphed. 1t was water spout and
the valley was swept with mighty
tidal wave. The loss to property is
fearful, while sacrifice OF human life
is, under the circumstances, appalling.
Swift and terrible was the visitation.
Without warning people were awakened
from slumbcr to find themselves threat
ened with destruction by mad waves.
Strange to relate few people were con-
scious OF the horrible disaster till they
awoke to look upon the desolate scene
this morning and drag the drowned
from the drifts.
Several large hotels were flooded 10
the depth Of four feet with murky wa
ters. Many buildings were totally
wrecked. Up to this hour six persons
are known to be missing, five OF whom
have been found dead in wrecked build
ings. The damage TO property is esti-
mated ut 100000.

Mr.. BLAINE on TRUSTS.

They Have no Connection with the Tnrn
and President Cleveland Ought tu Know
It-Thry Exist Only Under Stnts Laws.
lEotshOt from the PlWmcd Knight
DOVER, Me-, August 3l.-Hon. James
&. Blaine spoke at Foxcraft this after
noon. In opening be proceeded at once
to the consideration OF trusts, charging
that they fl0urished to a greater extent
under the Free Trade policy Of
England than under the Pro-
lection policy of the United States.
He cited authorities for his statement.
OF American trusts he said there is not
one among them all that derives its
being, owes its organization, or came up
under the patronage OF the National
Government. Every one derives what
ever sanction of law it possesses from a
State Government-generallY one State,
but sometimes several. The Presi-
dent, therefore, certainly should have
known, when he arraigned trusts in his
message to Congress, that Congress could
not dissolve them when their chart
ers were from State legislatures, or their
organizations under State law. II
bad been confessed by the Dem.
ocratic House Ways and Means
Committee, by Chairman Mills, and
every man that stood rs IN advocate OF
Free Trade that trusts had no possible
legal connection with the tariff. The
Presidents charge that trusts had their
origin in the Protective tariff, has
NOT a FOOT Of GROUND
to stand upon, and was contradicted in
every line of Free Trade experience,
--he speaker had quoted from England,
Now when all chance to investigate
the alleged bribery by which certain
United States Senator connected with
one OF the largest trusts, was charged
with obtaining his seat is past and gone
the Democratic papers can make a loud
howl about trusts. There was nc
Democratic opportunity to get the
true inwardness OF trusts, but
they shrank from the investigation OIL
bribery, and both outside and inside the
administration they were determined tC
have no investigation. Trusts have nc
place in the National campaign. They
are State issues, and the Republicans O
Maine at least can be depended upon tc
look after those in their own State.

Confusing Crop Ieports-Activs Epeculn-
iIons-IIusiness Failures.
New YoRH, August 3l.-R. q. Dun &
Co weekly review says: Crop reports
have become exceedingly contradictory
and confusing. Dispatches by the score
published asserting that frosts have cut
down the yield OF spring wheat greatly,
especially in Dakota and Minnesota, are
greatly exaggerated. Such confusing ac-
counts from all quarters have helped
very active speculation with sales Of
81, 900 bushels aud net decline in
price Of only half cent for the week.
These facts lead to the suspicion that
gloomy reports are being used to unload
speculative burdens, and that the actual
outcome will not fall much below prcvi-
GUS estimates. Corn is n fraction lower,
with sales OF 100000 bushels, and oats
) cents higher with some activity. In
provisions also, there has been active
speCulation-an advance and u reaction.
Hogs remain 10 cents higher Oil has
risen cents and leather and hides are
half cent higher. Tin has weakened,
but copper is stronger. Coffee has sold
largely for speculation, but prices halt.
Sugar is unchanged, with a better but
not full demand for refined.
The dry goods market has been active
and even buoyant, with print cloth stiff
at cents, but some descriptions Of
brown shcetings are weak and the mar
ket for woolens is slim, irregular and
uncertain. Speculation has raised the
price OF cotton Al cents per 100 pounds,
with sales OF 26l 900 bales at New York,
in spite OF favorable crop adviCes.
Speculation in stocks has been moderate
ly active and strong, The market does not
broaden, nor is the public helping. AT
some points, collections are fairly good,
but much greater number of reports
note more than unusual tardiness for
the season and complaints are general,
The business failures number 226 as COM
pared with total OF pa last week and
2l0 the week previous to the last. For
the corresponding week OF last year the
figures were 100. In August the fail
ures number S72 against no last year.

NO GLASS STRIKE HERE.


The following Associated Press tele-
gram was received from Pittsburgh last
evening:
PITTSBURGH, Pa, August Sl.-A gen.
eral strike OF the flint glass workers OF
the countryis is expected tomorrow, when
the new scele OF the engravers is sup
posed to go into effect. The engravers
demand not less than IS cents per dozen
for engraving, and the manufacturers
say they cannot pay the advance, which
is about fifty per cent on the cheapest
grades OF glassware. The men insist
upon their scale, and u suspension of
work in nearly all the factories in the
country is probable. About 1000 work.
ers will be affected.
This may be true SO far as the flint
glass factories OF the country ut large is
concerned, but nothing is known Of the
strike here. President Scott, Of the Cen
tral Works, said last evening that the
statement was news to him. The en-
gravers expect to work to-day, though
the factory is idle for the lack Of gas fuel.
A workman at the South Wheeling
glass works also said last night that the
strike, il there was TO be one, would not
affect that factory.

BosroN, August Sl.-Gen. Benjamin
f. Butler this evening addressed large
audience in fremont Temple upon the
tariff and fisheries questions. Theoret-
ically, he said, Free Trade between all
nations us between all men is correct in
principle; that is, if all nations in all
things were exactly on the same footing.
Burt such conditions Of equality cannot
exist among nations, and therefore all
theories upon the question Of Free Trade
become useless. Said Mr.. Butler: "i
cite the President on my side MS against
Free Trade; but ! must confess, at the
same time, that the President tries to
get as near being u Free Trader us he
can. believe II he had observed and
