PRESTO CHANGE.
A Chicago Real Estate Dealer Gives a
Bank the Slip.

Bank the Slip.
CHICAGO, March 14.-WiIliam II. Davis,
a well-known builder and real estate dealer,
was arrested to-day at the door Of the Chi
cago Trust and Savings bank, charged with
victimizing the president OF the in
stituUion, d. II. Tolmau. Forgery
was the specification, but the purpose
was to hold Davis In addition
for an extensive series of offenses, such as
selling to each of a number OF people the
same piece Of property. The prisoner
quickly gave bail for forgery and disap-
peared. Where the money has gone is a
mystery.
DAVIS THE SHARPER.
The arrest was we'll planned. Davis had
an appointment with President Tolman at
the bank, and before the hour arrived the
president had sworn out a warrant, and
given the document to an officer who was
stationed in the bank entrance to await the
real estate man. Davis arrival was prompt,
his arrest was equally so. Both events we're
surpassed in celebrity, however, by
his release, he scheduling the required
security OF 81, 900 and walking out before ir
was realized that additional warrants were
necessary. Davis has been in the real
estate business in Chicago for ten years,
with an office on LaSalle street and n hand
some residence on Robey street. He built
a big business block year ago. He also
built and sold another block.

SOUTHERN INDUSTRIES.

The growth of towns and cities in
the southern states during the past
few years is marvellous, says the
Gadsden Times. Southern indus
tries are progressing beyond the in
dustries of all other sections, and
the number of new enterprises be-
ing started indicate that the south
as a section is On the eve of a great
industrial boom. Newspapers, trav-
elers and capitalists are all setting
forth the wonderful industrial de-
velopTent Of this section.
There is but one obstacle in the
path to an unexampled prosperity
for this section, and that obstacle is
the solution of the negro question.
While in this immediate section the
presence Of the negro is not feared,
there are sections where his
presence is a constant blight to any
prosperity. 1t any attempt is made
to bring the negro to the front po-
litically, it is sure to imperil our
prosperity and to check our pro-
gress. 1t is certainly a matter Of
gratitude to all whites irrespective
of party affiliations that Mr.. Harri-
son is moving cautiously and slowly
upon all southern questions, which
might stir up trouble and interfere
with our progress. His determine
ton to recognize the best element
in the republican party south ceg-
tainly is a step in the right direc-
ton. We do not believe any policy
on the part OF the administration
could destroy our prosperity, but an
unwise policy might delay matters
awhile with us. The industrial
prosperity of the south is assured
and few years will make revela.
tons astounding to us all.

THE FOOL AND HIS MONEY.

What worse could workingman
do with his earnings than to spend
them for drink? He might better
throw them into the river or bury
them in the ground, for then there
would be no tyrant ruling over him.
Wages we'll cared for will return
vast amount of happiness to the
workingman. Is it better to own a
home, or to be in the clutches of the
saloon keeper? Is it better to have
money laid by for a rainy day, or to
be sunk in Indebtedness and power
ty?
The saloon receives you in well
come when you have money and
kicks you out when it is gone. 1t
takes you a man and makes you a
beast. 1t consumes your energies
and thrifes, while you depart a beg
gar.

ions, that they may deprive them
selves of comforts and never get
near enough to luxury to know
what it is like. They part with
millions that might be invested in
homes, in the education of children
and in securities.
What many a workman suffers
from today is want OF savings.
With these he might elevate him
self; he might be a lender instead
of a borrower; he might become an
employer, as we'll as employed; he
would buy cheaper tor cash than he
does now tor credit; ne would be
happy in temperance, in a good
home, in having promising children,
in the respect that . he would re-
ceiye from the public, in the conf
dence that he would have in his
manhood. Above all, he would not
be making a fool of himself by
dumping his wages into a saloon.

Prof. Bumstead, of the Atlanta
University, is again in the north
soliciting aid for that institution,
and the probability is that he will
get all he asks for, 1t will be re-
membered that the Georgia legisla-
ture would not.allow the usual ap-
preparation of $4,000 a year to this
college unless colored people only
were taught there, and that the col
lege would not make that concession.
Last year Prof. Bumstead raised
about $4,000 in the north for the
college, and he expects to raise as
much this year. He says the col
lege has offered to confne the use of
the state appropriation to colored
pupils and that there is prospect
of compromise on that basis.

HONESTY.-WHAT Is 1T.


Mere debt paying is not always
evidence of perfect honesty. There
is but one definition of honesty and
that was given by the Savior in
these words: Gail things whatsoever
We would that men should do to you,
do we even SO to them" There are
many men who pay their contracted
debts and yet are not honest. And
yet there are men who do not pay
contracted debts yet are strictly
honest. The man who takes advan-
tage of another's necessities, and
EFFORTS from him an exorbitant price
for such things as he needs and can
not secure elsewhere, is as dishon-
est as the man who robs the hen
roost. Or the man who takes ad-
yantages of another's misfortunes
and gets from him his property, un-
der pressure of circumstances lat less
than its real value, is no more hon
est at heart than he who takes ad-
vantage of your absence to get your
horse for nothing. The principle
that controls them both is precisely
the same. The man who pays an
employe less than his services are
worth, simply because that employe
may not De able Just at that time to
secure employment elsewhere and
must accept whatever is offered, is
as dishonest as the employe who re-
ceiyes full value for his services and
swindles the employer by wasting
his time. The countryman who
brings basket of eggs to town
knowing that half the eggs are spoil
ed and sells them without making
this tact known to the purchaser is
dishonest, but not more so than the
merchant who sells pair of shoes
whose soles he knows to be paste
board and conceals this fact from
the purchaser. Many men pay
their debts with money gotten from
others by dishonest practices Many
men fail to pay their debts because
OF misfortune, Encouragement or
miscalculation. The world says the
former are honest and the latter
dishonest, when the very reverse is
true. The man who pays his debts
simply ''to keep his credit up is by
no means honest. Neither is that
man honest, who, because mistor-
tune has overtaken him, is not will
ing to sacrifice all Injuries and
many necessaries of life to pay debts
contracted before the misfortune
came. In all business transactions
the strictly honest man asks himself
this question and answers it affirma-
lively before acting:-Am l doing
exactly as | would like to be done
by under similar circumstances
There is much that passes for gen.
uine honesty in the world that is
the veriest counterfeit. Reader,
are you strictly honest; honest in
your business, in your virtue, in
your religion, in your politics
Honest with yourself, your neighbor,
your customer, your friend, your
enemy, your children, your wife,
your God? Do you never deceive,
or try to deceive, any of these
