THE REASON WHY.

An exchange says young man
asks why it is that men are able
to hold position for months, and
even years, while others, who seem
to have more ability, cannot hold a
position for few weeks. This is
easily accounted for. If young
man is sober, honest and Industrious
his employer knows he can depend
on him at any and all times and he
prefers him to young man with
greater abilities who is not reliable.
A business man wants reliable en-
ployes, as the success Of his under
taking depends, to great extent,
upon them. To retain a position
and hold the esteem of your en-
ployers three things are necessary,
soberness, honesty and industry. II
your have the first and last of these
three you will necessarily be prompt
as this will be another feather in
your cap. Then if you have hon
esty your success is assured; you
msy not be as brilliant as some of
your friends but your service Will
be sought for when theirs is not
wanted. When your employer
leaves you in charge of a certain
piece of work he knows it will be
done; when you leave your place of
business in the evening your en-
ployer knows you will return in the
morning at the regular working
hour. Young men who are the hap
Ply possessors of these qualities are
never out of'positions if they desire
to work, while the careless young
men are always out of a position.
There are too many ambitious young
men struggling to climb the ladder
of fame for careless men to long re-
tain a position. If you are anxious
to get position, and retain it, bear
in mind that if you are sober, honest
and industrious your will have moth
ng to fear.

THE SITUATION.

"The general business and fnan,
cial condition of the whole country,
says the Manufacturers Record,
continued to improve, and the South
must necessarily share in this in
creasing prosperity. The enormous
exports of grain for the last two
months, to which the usual fall ship
ments of cotton will now be added,
have already turned the tide of
foreign trade this way, and gold is
now being imported in large quanti-
ties, with prospects of heavy imports
during the next few months. There
are already signs of improvement in
the iron and the cotton goods trade,
while the railroads of the country
are taxed to their utmost capacity
to handle their immense traffic. The
South has commenced to feel the
benefit of this change from the de-
preston of the last seven or eight
months which has existed all over
the world. Southern manufacturing
enterprises have stood the strain of
monetary stringency remarkably well
and the furnaces, cotton mills and
other industries are all busy, and
most of them are making good profit
even now, with an encouraging out
look for season of great prosperity
ahead"

W. I. Foster, of st. Joseph, 40,
writing about October weather says:
My last letter gave forecasts of the
storm wave due to cross the con-
tinent from September IA to Is,
and the remainder of the month will
contain much irregular weather, run
ming to extremes. Two storm waves
will cross the continent, the first
leaving the Pacific coast about Sept
10, crossing the Rocky-Allegheny
valley from the Goth to 22nd and
reaching the Atlantic coast about
the 23rd. The second of these
storm waves will be due to leave the
Pacific coast about the oath, cross
the Rocky-Allegheny valley from
the 25th to 9th and reach the At
lantic coast about the 29th. Tropi-
cal hurricanes may be expected on
the Gulf of Mexico and the Atlantic
at any time, accompanied by killing
frosts on the continent. l expect
very destructive frosts not far from
October 8, which will about put an
end to the growth of the cotton and
other tender plants north of latitude
80. 1 have all the time advised
planters and farmers not to sell their
cotton and corn at unreasonablY
low prices, as I have believed that
unfavorable weather in September
and October would reduce products
below the estimates. The corn and
cotton crops should, as far as pos
sible, be secured before October 10,
for continuously bad weather may
be expected after date. and both
corn and cotton exposed to the
weather will be in great danger of
injury from the weather. October
will be a very remarkable month
for great storms and extremes of the

THE ,GRANERY OF THE WORLD.

European crops have everywhere
failed, while ours are more than
abundant, and the saying of many
celebrated men that the United
States would be the graneay of the
world is about to be verified. 1t is
now a second Egypt in the days of
Pharaohs. Europe has to depend
on US to supply her with bread, and
everybody eats bread. The rye
crop of Russia has failed and this
helps the United States in her claim
of now being the granery of the
world. Her wheat crop has like
wise been failure, The wheat
crop of France and Great Britain
has fallen much below the average
Italys crop only equals that of LAST
year and the whole of midas sur
plus don't amount to drop in the
bucket in the deficiencies of the
other countries, and to the teeming
harvest of the United States turn all
eyes.
A recapitulation of the crop re-
ports of all these countries shows a
shortage of many million bushels
and deficiency that must be sup
piled of over five hundred million
bushels to meet this year, OF five
times as much as we have usually
exported. This, OF. course, from ap-
proximate estimates of the crops at
present. The result may not be
quite as bad as expected in some of
the countries named. But, allowing
for all this, the field for the sale Of
our wheat this year Is an enormous
one. What makes it all the better,
We have, too, magnificent crop to
assist US in meeting the demand.
We produced last year 399,262,O
bushels, and exported 109,44S,63O
bushels. This year we shall have,
it is estimated 560,0O0,O0O to 6O0,-
100000, bushels, which will give US
over 300,000,000 bushels to meet the
deficiency of Europe. This may net
to the country that number o
bright gold dollars, and there is an
especial pride in the thought that
has all been won from the earth by
the sweat Of the brow. and is in all
respects our own product. What
effect this sudden prosperity may
have upon the Alliance farmers is 10
be seen. Perhaps it will convince
them that honest delving is better
than their demogogic doctrine of
delusive dreams.

menting on Congressman Cranes
speech on the sub-treasury, says:
Congressman Crane of the Seventh
congressional district of Texas has
annalyzed the sub-treasury scheme
at the request of the Alliance men
who are among his constituents,
and declares that if enacted into law
it would destroy the Republic and
erect a despotism on its ruins. He
is therefore opposed to it, whether
they Ike it or not. He knows they
have declared they will not support
any man for Office who does not
pledge himself to the support of the
Ocala platform, but he does not
seem to care. He prefers to be
right, and, having the courage of his
convictions as Democrat, stands
by his party and its principles. In
doing so he proves his title afresh to
the confidence of the people he rep
resents."

enter into negotiations with Major
Davis and the Brazos syndicate.
Maj. Davis has also a proposition
from the Richmond people with a
view to the same ultimate result.
Such a road will be of great benefit
to Fort Bend county, and if either
Brennan people or Fort Bend peo-
pie want to keep from getting left
in this great enterprise they should
meet Major Davis on liberal and
conservative basis"
