AFrw days ago an editorial paragraph ap-
peared in these columns 10 the effect that the
well-known stallion, Temple Bar. had been
ruled of the Cleveland race-track because of
the charge that his owner attempted to sell
the race. This has attracted the attention of
certain parties who are interested in the
horse and his owner, and we have been sent a
copy of the Cleveland Press which states that
Temple Bars owner had been dealt
with too hastily, and that tho Temple Bar
people tried to obtain an audience with the
judges for the purpose of stating the case
plainly. but failed.
We cheerfully republish these remarks of
the Press, as We certainly had no desire,
and did not intend 10 do any injustice.
We are glad to note. however, the widespread
influence of THR TINES rs shown by the fact
that an editorial "squib" such as this should
have excited notice so promptly as far West
as Cleveland. Ohio.

TRADE

In another column this morning are pub
lished interviews with a number OF our lead
inc merchants representing the various
branches of business as to the present condl-
ton and future prospects of trade. IL VIII DO
seen that all take pretty much the same
view. viz: that while trade is rather duh,
owing to various causes, just now. the out
look is quite promising. and an active fall
business is anticipated.
These views seem to be very generally held
all over the country. A few days ago the
New York World published several columns
filed with the expressions of opinion of the
leading capitalists and bankers of the me-
tropolis on this subject, and they take a very
hopeful view Of the situation. President j.
Edward Simmons, Of the Fourth National
Bank, says that with short crops in Europe and
large crops here he cannot see why We should
not expect a general improvement In our
financial and commercial condition. Presi-
dent II. w. Cannon. of the Chase National
Bank, taSest the same position, arguing that we
have been dealing with Europe on a cash basis
and must continue TO do so for some time to
come. Fortunately, he thinks. the condition
of affairs is such that foreign nations must, in
turn. deal with us soon on the same basis, and
will be compelled to make heavy remittances
in gold in payment for our grain and produce
which is now moving. Charles 4. Flint. Of
Flint a. Co.. ship-owners and commission
merchants, thinks that q good commercial
year for the United States is assured, and
Mr.. John II. Inman, who has large interests
South as well as North, says;
THE South has already made a large crop Of
wheat and corn in its graln-growing sections.
The cotton crop promises to be large, but
indications are that it will be somewhat slow
in moving for two reasons. First, because
the season is some ten days later than usual;
and second. because price is so low that the
planters will not bring it to market rapidly.
At a satisfactory price a planter would bring
in twenty bales Of his first picking. while at a
lower price he would probably bring in ten
bales to get ready money and hold the bal
ance until later.
This, with the low price per bale which it
now takes to move cotton. will require much
less money TO secure the movement of the
cotton opduring the fall months than would
otherwise be the case. The large crop, how
ever. is of course good for the railroads. as
they will have O large tonnage regardless of
price.
1.-THE depression in business circles in the
South is no more apparent than mother por-
lions of the country.
THE reaction from all this depression will
surely come, but whether in Blk or twelve
months no one can tell"
From all this it will be seen that a general
revival Of business in all section of the coun-
try is confidently anticipated during the CON-
ing fall and winter.

MEMS ELEMENTS.

Just as the fish has his element. the water,
and the bird his, the air, so man has his
more complicated and less defnabie, because
Of his complex organism. And yet we talk
very freely and intelligently. too, about this
and that one being in his element. In truth,
we all have not only our general clement
that accommodates our kind, but each
Of us has more or less his own indi-
yidual elements that somehow is generated
from his inmost being and encircles and en-
wraps him and largely makes the world in
which he lives, or at least gives to all the out
side world its color and its meaning to him.
E%nwrapped in these. our elements, we 90 on
our way. Kindred spirits. whose elements
are like. make up a larger world together, and
together met, and in their element c%ongenial
souls live, enjoy q sort Of freedom, disport
and spread themselves and have e good time
evolve TO their very best and largest.
This is the philosophy of the worlds we live
in. in which we move and have our being; and
it is these elements that determine whether
our lives are worth living.
The greatest danger to the general man is
slavery to his business-to be shut up and
tyrannized by aruling passion or some wrong
idea of %duty-cold, hard, inhuman, selfish
duty. without charity; what a bleak and frigid,
smileless world it may make. The largest

This is not only applicable to tho mere
drudgery of trade, but to all the pursuits of

1t is easy to sea all this illustrated every

not kick out OF the duties OF daily life that
God has laid upon us. But We can refuse and
protest. heart. soul and body, against the
allurements Of Fame and Fortune. and dare
to be wise and free at any cost. Man was
made for the large and free enjoyment of
this earth. The Grand dictum is. The Truth
