The New Enternrlsa.

As was announced in our last
issue the effort 90 form a stock com
pany to establish a woolen mill I'm
our city has been successful. The
full amount Of stock-S25. .O00-has
been subscribed and articles Of in
corporation have been sent to the
Secretary Of State whose certificate
is expected in day or two, when
the company will be legally organ
ized by the election of officers aud
board Of directors. The laws of
the state require that twenty per
cent. of the capita. stock shall be
paid in before the company can be
legally organized; SO that the first
duty now Of the stock holders is 20
pay into the treasury twenty per
cent. of the amount subscribed. A
president, vice president, secretary,
treasurer, superintendent, aud &c
least i've Director, are to be chosen.
Il is not necessary that the secretary,
treasurer, or superintendent; should
be members Of the board, but the
presideu, and vice president should.
Il is proposed to continue the work
ing OF the mill at its present Ioea-
tlou until buildings are prepared
for it here Two or three sites are
in view for the location of the
plant, but nothing can be decided
upon until the company is organized.
Much creail &, due to the young
men of toe city for the push they
have given To ;nis enterprise, and
the spirit and vim that has created
it will make it success. Our past
record In this line is good There
has been but two stock companies
started in our city, and both to-da y
are good paying investments and a
credit to the city; and iaark our
prophesy, the third one will be
equally successful.

A Field Of Commerce which should BE
Controlled by Yankee Merchants.
The republics of Central America,
Costa Rica, Guatemala, Honduras.
Nicaragua and San Salvador, although
geographically closely related to the
United States, give, according to the
latest statistics. scarcely more than one
seventh Of the total Of import and ex-
port trade to the United States, which
would seem little strange For the
reason given above, and also because Of
the increasing similarity OF institutions,
the United States ought to control q
much larger proportion OF the trade Of
these small but increasingly prosperous
republics. The stability of government
in these countries has become almost
assured, and during the last decade
the people have come to see that there
is more money in developing the vast
resources OF country where nature
supplies all wants in a most prodigal
way, than in disturbing the peace.
In the republic OF Honduras, which,.
although possessing vast territories
favorable to farming and cattle-rais-
ing. is essentially "a mining country.
many reforms and innovations have
been introduced, and the country is
now full OF skilled native workmen
who are eager in learning the use Of
modern complicated machinery and
improved methods. Honduras also
offers considerable inducements TO im-
migrants. including free land to till,
and advancement OF the cost OF the
necessary agricultural implements and
other requisites, besides immunity
from civil and military service. As in
all tropical countries, the lowland
coasts are malarial; but on the noun
tains, where the air and water are
pure, it is healthy enough. Is it not q
pity to let English, German and French
merchants occupy almost exclusively
30 favorable field OF commerceP 1t
is said that these have studied care
fully the packing and shipping OF
goods, which arrive damaged much
less than those shipped from the United
States. 1t would seem worth while TO
study tho requirements OF the Central
Americans and secure our rightful
share OF this trade. PARKWAY Samoa
and revolutionary IIayi occupy much
OF our attention, but these youthful
republics offer special inducements
towards the exchange OF commodities.

pleted before long, it will shorten the

In tho year 1881 the Chicago Inter
Ocean made mention OF a gentleman
who had written tho entire first
chapter OF the gospel OF ST. John on
the back side OF u postal card.
That little notice, innocent as 1t was,
caused the editor several sleepless
nights. Within the next three days
postal cards and slips OF paper with
minute specimens OF penmanship be-
gan to pour in from all directions.
Among the hundreds Of specimens
submitted for inspection the editor
acknowledged that the greatest Curl
osity was u postal card from John j.
Taylor, OF Streator, H.. upon which
was written 4,100 words In legibls
characters, the whole embracing tho
first, second and third chapters OF St,
John and 10 verses OF the fourth chap
ter OF the same, and also the sixth aud
seventh chapters Of st. Mathew, be-
sides having nine words In which mis-
takes occurred crossed out. All OF
this wonderful production, which the
editor acknowledges would make three
columns Of his paper set in minion
type, could be plainly read with the
naked ego. A Lacednmonian once
wrote in letters OF gold poem OF eight
lines, the whole Of which he inclosed

The country does not want Federal
aid to education. This is shown by
the record of the votes on the Blair
measure in the Senate. In three sue
cessive Congresses the Senate passed
It, but with decreasing majorities, and
now it has failed in that body. Many
Senators who favored it in the be-
ginning opposed it this session. 1t
has been before the country six or
seven years, but it was stronger at the
start than it has been since. While
steadily losing cid friends all the
time it has gained no new ones. This
proves that the project lacks the sup
port of the people, and that it is use
less to revive it in any form. Senator
Blair's new educational bill is not
wanted, and its introduction serves
merely to help to clog the calendar
and prevent the consideration Of mat
