why lie Succeeded.

Those who write inspiring and instruc-
tive books for young people will find a
new theme In the life of B. T. Babbitt,
the soap manufacturer. To grown peo-
pie he will be immortalized as the man
who first made decent soap, at mod
crate cost, in America. For this alone
he Is to be classed among the benefactors
of his country. He it was, too, who be-
gan the invention of that agricultural
machinery which has made America
famous the world over.
No college bred lad was B. T. Rabbit.
A farm boy with only the rudiments Of
education, he learned tho blacksmith
trade as soon as he was man grown. Here
he first found he had inventive genius,
and here he learned that practical work.
ing Of iron and machinery which was
afterwards of incalculable value to him.
Everything that came to him. no mat
ter how insignificant, was an opportu-
nifty of which he made good use. This
was one secret of his SUCCESS.
Another was that he never gave up.
disappointment after disappointment
struck him. like blows in the face. They
staggered him, but could not down him,
because he was a man who could not be
downed. That will be good point to
emphasize with the boys and girls.
He had fair start in 1S43, when he
was 30 years old Then, through the
dishonesty Of man he trusted, he lost
every dollar he had. Nothing daunted,
he began again, trying harder than ever.
So many difficulties beset him that not
till he was 30 years old did he really be-
gin to gather the fortune Of 5000, 0O
of which he died possessed. Another
strong point in his character was bis
kindly. trusting nature. This trait he
never lost, though deceived over and
again and subjected to heavy losses
from those he had trusted. In spite
Of the losses be continued to trust his
fellow men, and with it all he was moi
prevented from laying up S5.o00.000
Another fact to note was his strong,
erect. healthy body. He got it from tlie
active, outdoor life OF his boyhood
This rugged health and strength stayed
with him almost ILL the very last, and
he was 90 yeaTs old when he died.

In the criticism Of the Herman
Enterprise on the newspapers of this
district, it is easily seen where the
animuq of its animudversi0n to THE
Sun lies. It's the only democratic
piper in the district. Next comes
the OrtonviIle Headlight, but not be.
ing go great a sinner, comes In for y
lighter dose of censure; it is the only
independent paper in the district. If
the Enterprise man could tear the
party veil from before his eyes he
might behold objects in a clearer
light. That might not pay for IN
aspirant for Legislative honors. But
as TIE Sun is published to please its
readers, and not the critics, it Is per-
fectly satisfied with their verdict,
which is an abnormally large increase

Taxing Railroad Property In Village

Taxing Railroad Property In Villages.
The communication by Mr.. Wilson
in the last issue of THE Sun struck at
one grievance, viz: the exemption of
railroad lands from taxation. And
we believe they pay some communi-
cation to the state also, in lieu of tax
on their rolling stock, depots &C, in
the different counties they run
through. But why should their
building lots in this village be ex.
empt. There is in this village q
large amount Of such, and this is not
the worst. When Il side walk is con-
structed for the general good, if it
should pass some railrord lots, the
village must pay for them, as no tax
has ever been paid on any of their
lots, and if not, why not! Every
property owner Is supposed to be
benefited by village improvements.
and why should not the railroads pay
a part of these improvements. We
have talked with lawyers who have
said, so soon as lands are set apart,
and plated for village purposes, that
land can no longer be claimed by
railroad companies to lie exempt
farming lands. We venture to sug.
gest, that the village council. through
their attorney look into this matter.
We don't write this article as u
matter of form, to be glanced at, and
then forgotten. The tax payers of
this village feel the tax squeeze too
keenIy for that. if any relief can be
obtaiued, we hope this matter will
be agitated for what it is worth.

An Immigrants Fortune.

Thomas Monahan, an Irish million
aire, who lived in Melbourne for half o
century, died recently. He was one Of
the 860 poor Irish immigrants who sailed
for Australia in 1889, and the ship was
in such a terrible sanitary condition that
ninety of them died on the voyage.
Monahan shrewdly invested his little
earnings in land about Melbourne. with
the result that blocks for which he paid
$500 in those early days arc now worth
e250, 900 each. His aggregate wealth Ia
estimated at C. 900, 900. Exchange.

Says the New York Dry Goods Economist:
Spot cotton has been in very light demand. The
price of middling upland has declined 1-16c, or
to l7-16c in sympathy with the lower prices for
contracts, while prices at the Southern ports are
generally unchan ged. AS compared with year
ago port receipts have been much smaller, and
while stocks at the ports are nearly 200 900 bales
less than year ago, the foreign exports have
been ne arly double what they were at the same
time last year. Liverpool has been fairly active
this week, and quotations range from s 1-l6d to
:. SIC for mIddling uplands.
Contracts have been dealt in to the extent OF
nearly 800, 900 bales, with prices showing a va
ration of 10 points, from IL. 29c to II 39c for
March, and since September total OF l5,2l,
400 bales.
The receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports
for the week ending to-day have been &c, 900
bales, compared with sc, 425 bales last week,
and so, 21s bales the same week last year.
Total receipts at all the shipping ports since
September have been 5, 536 ,241 bales, against
5,196, $50 bales the same time last year, and
5,O9S, 515 bales in 1888.
The stocks at all shipping ports amount to
40, 600 bales, against SO, 900 bales for the same
date last year.
The total exports to Europe from September
