WHAT .'HUSTLNG'' DOES.

Baltimore Manufacturer s Record: The
man of business and energy throws HIM
self body and soul into his work. His in
variable rule is business first, pleasure
afterward. Politics, social enjoyment
and the like are never allowed to inter-
fere with business. They are of secon-
dairy consequence, and receive attention
after business hours only.
The community that seeks growth and
prosperity is forever reaching out for
some new development just beyond its
grasp. Like the man of business, il Is
pushing increasingly. Elections come
and 60, social events come and go,
but it is still devoting itself to
business. The question is not whether
the man has great business ability and
the community great natural resources,
near as much as it is whether he is a man
of irrepressIble pluck, and the commu-
nifty of irresistible push.
The best business gauge of any COM
munity is its newspapers. a paper may
piece Of the public, yet the general senti-
ment of the community can be pretty
closely approximated by studying even
tins personal organ.
To a close student of the South we be-
lieve it is not a difficult thing to gauge
the growth of community by its local
press. To use an expressive word, the
press in a community of push and energy
is always ''hustling. - This hustle NAV

opment or improvement every time, but
it is that restessness ever on the alert for
a good thing, whatever it may be. Such
a paper Is always getting what is called
scoop" IN newspaper parlance, and
the community it represents is always at
tracing to itself new enterprises ana new
life.

Music as Medicine.
Scranton Truth.

Another recent crazy idea touching the
curative powers of things lies in the di-
rectiOn of music. A recent writer for a
medical journal calls attention to the
power of music and suggests that melody
might be applied to the treatment OF va
rious diseases with beneficial results
This would be novel departure in the
field OF medicine, for while music has
long been recognized in the church as a
powerful antidote to the influences of the
world, the flesh and the devil, it is only
lately that music has been suggested as
corrective of the ills of the body and
mind. There is cause to believe, how
ever, that the music of the future. and
the medicine of the future, viii come TO
be regarded as almost interchangeable
tOnics, and that music in the hereafter
viii be employed not only to soothe the
savage breast, but to calm the perturbed
stomach, heal the aching tooth and re-
lieve the equity toe.

prophesY the apostles of the new school
of medicine-genulne pills will have a

~ OVERSIGHT. SERELY.


THE GAZETTE desires to direct the at
tention of the Chicago Inter-Ocean to
what must be an oversight on the part of
that noisy champion of the negro. A
somewhat careful reading of the proceed
ings Of the G A. R. reunion at Milwau-
llee failed to disclose any active partici-
patton by coIored soldiers of the Union.
There were colored troops who fought
nobIy for the Union, and yet the Inter-
Ocean, by some oversight, doubt
less, does not appear to have
noted the exclusion of negroes from
prominent participation in the G. A. R.
reunion. THE GAZETTE does not say
that G. A. r. posts should admit blacks
and whites indiscriminately- from it;
but such papers as the InteT-Ocean,
which deny that the "'negro question:
is racial and social, should, for consist
ency s sake, rebuke the separation of
white and black soldiers of the
Union into posts marked by a color line.
Certainly, if there should be no distfnc-
ton in the South con account of race,
color, or previous condition, - ETC.,
there ought not to be such distinction
in posts composed OF the men who saved
the Union and made the amendments
possible.

A Wise Governor.

a number of Texas papers have in
dulged in some pretty severe criticisms
regarding Governor Ross action in the
Richmond troubles. 1t will be remem-
bered that the governor exerted his in
fiuence in favor OF peace and failed to
make the wholesale descent upon the evil
doors that the position of the case seemed
to so thoroughly demand. The wisdom
OF his course is now, however, apparent,
and instead of martial law prevailing,
the affairs of justice are being attended
to wholly by the civil authorities, as it
should be. Besides, the power of the
governor to act in such emergencies is
extremely limited, and one of the duties
of the next legislature will be to provide
for an Intervention of state power when
the ordinary courses of law fail.
