The outgoing Collector. by the way. has

ready the opening of the public schools has
drawn homeward the greater part of the
families who have been enjoying the coun-
try. and tho opening Of the private schools
and tho colleges will follow IN a few weeks,
% that soon the moro elegant parts Of tho
town, long deserted, will resume their bus

1t will be the beginning OF n season which
promises to be Of extraordinary prosperity
In Wall street there is u better feeling than
has manifested itself for several years past.
The Produce Exchange has taken on Eew
life under the inspiration Of the enormous
foreign demand for our grain. III every
department OF trade and commerce hopcfui-
ness and buoynncy Of spirit appear. The
real estate market has been SLOW during this
yenr as compared with tho last. but signs of
revival appear, though business activity
elsewhere tends to withdraw money which
otherwise might seek landed investments.
In all directions we see signs Of progress
and indubitable evidence Of sanguinc ex-
pectations as to the future. Prosperity is
defeating the efforts OF the social revolu-
tionists whose sole stock in trade is I'M
favorable business and agricultural condi-
tions. Sanity Is replacing lunacy in politics.
and the pessmists IRE retired from view.
The people IRE too busy in making ready to
profit by their extraordinary advantages to
stop to listen to the croakers.
In New York the erection Of new and mag
niiicent hotels. and the plans for the build
ing Of others which arc now in the hands OF
architects, show how confidently great in

whole, tho town never looked so
we'll as it does this autumn, and so at
tractve. The most delightful season OF
the year Is ut hand. and streets and parks
will be crowded. Hence. tho merchants arc
preparing for q retail trade Of unexampled
magnitude. Prices are low. and the goods
show great improvement in quality. AL
ready every department OF trade which has
to do with the furnishing and decoration OF
tho household Is pushed to its fullest activ-
customers. But 1t Is only the beginning of
the rush Of trade, which will go on with in
creasing force until after the holidays.
It Is time Of prosperity, OF reasonable
hopefulness. and OF wonderful interest.

A Real Race.

How tame are the glorious contests at the
various courses about New York compared
to the race that Is nearly on In Oklahoma!
There Is new strip OF about eight hundred
thousand acres to be opened for settlement.
The Governor OF Oklahoma, the Hon.
GEORGE W. STEELE, says in the Chicago
Herald that there are nearly twenty thou
sand people at the starting line ready for
the rush for homesteads on the moment
the Territory is declared open.
