More than ninety per cent. of the men who go into business fail Thim statement, while true, Is misleading. because it seems to indicate that the men who are in business are the re- maining ten per cent. This is not the case, for the reason that almost all of the successful business men whom you may know have been, earlier in their careers, numbered among the more than ninety per cent. of failures. Young men are apt to be over-confident. They either think too highly of their own powers, or else they underestimate the difficulties which they presume to over come Hence they go into business without due preparation-and fail
 The successful men are, as a rule, those who were big-brained enough to gather useful lessons from their expe- riences, but especially were they pluclSy and self-confdent enough to try again.
 The founder of the Baltimore Sun, who died worth SEQ, ,OOo, ,O0O, was unable to make his first-%venture pay, and Charles A. Dana, the principal owner of the New York Sun, would probably now be Chicago journalist instead of a famous New York one had his Chicago venture not proved a failure.
 The late Dr. Agnew, whose reputa- tion as surgeon was as wide as the world, and of whom you may have heard in connection with the illness of President Garfield, whose physician he was, tried the iron business, and failed so badly that for years his income as a surgeon went to pay his debts. Men, as well as boys and girls, have to ''try, try again.''

The Prasldend to sIiorEly Urre the Adop-
 ton of RetaIiatory Measures.
 WASHINGTON, April 30.-No action has yet been taken by the President in refer enee to the proposed retaliation upon Canada on account of the tolls charged American vessels for passing through Welland Canal by levying a toll upon Canadian vessels which use the Sault Ste Marie Canal
 It is expected that the President will send communication to Congress early in the week and will recommend Con- gressional action, which will be neces- sary before the Treasury Department will have authority to impose a toll on Canadian vessels.
 Complaints have frequently been made to the State and Treasury Departments during the past three years by the Boards of Trade at Oswego, Buffalo. Cleveland, Detroit, Chicago and else where against the imposition of tolls on American ships using the Welland canal and demands have been made by these cities that there be retaliation against Canada by toll charges for Canadian ships which use the Sault Ste Marie Canal.
 It was not until last February, when the Canadian commissioners were in con- AOAChSO AOEo1 bndb Lu6 department or State took formal action in the matter. A demand was made upon the Commis- s1oners that the charges imposed upon our ships by the Canadian government should cease. The representatives of Canada promised that they would have the practice withdrawn and that our ships should be allowed free passage through the Canadian canal The atten- tion of the State Department was some weeks ago called to the fact that no action had yet been taken by the Cana dian government, and that tolls were still levied on our vessels using the Vel land canal. It was the purpose of the President to immediately send a commu- | nlcation to Congress on the subject and recommend retaliation, but stress of public business has delayed his action.

 AsPINwALI., (via Galveston), April 3O.- The steamship Amerique, with twenty nine passengers, has arrived here from La Guayra. They report that Gen. Crespo is marching on Caracas with 19,000 infantry and 2,000 cavalry. The revolutionists are we'll armed. Of the infantry 5000 are armed with Mannli- cher small calibre repeaters and 6,OOO with Martini-Henry rifles of the latest model.
 Most of these guns are of Austrian manufacture and have been smuggled in from Hamburg ships. The cav airy IS well mounted, having had the pick of the horses in the country through which Crespo marched. The army is said to be accompanied by thousands of camp followers, who have risen to join the revolutionists, and are ready to fight as soon as arms can be found for them Crespo is welcomed in all the villages along the line of march, and money and food are supplied to him from all sides
 Before beginning his march Gen. Crespo detached several thousand in- fantry to make 8 demonstration against Victoria for the purpose of diverting the attention of the government generals and giving him an opportunity to get well in advance of Palacio's army before the latter could discover his intention to capture Caracas.
 The fall of Caracas is said to be cer- tain, unless Palacio's army can be united and pushed on in pursuit of the revolutionists with unprecedented speed. The Government cavalry is poor ly mounted, however, and it is thought impossible for it to overtake the revolu- tionists. The infantry is in bad condi- tion for forced marches as the army stores are low, and the people of the country conceal or destroy their provi- sions upon the approach of Palacio's sol diers.
 The condition of the country through which the opposing armies have marched 1s desperate. The revolution has demor- allzed large part of the population. Bands of plunderers and highwaymen, calling themselves revolutionis5s. infest all districts They make raids on the villages, burn the houses and rob the shops. Dozens of wealthy men have been kidnapped and held for ransom There is absolutely no trade in the re- zion thus afflicted. Business men are fleeing with their money, or are burying it. and hastening to the seaport towns. The province of Tachira suffers especially from the operations of these raiders.
 The national military hands are too full to allow an opportunity to punish the freebooters, and the legitimate fol- lowers of Crespo do not interfere, as they derive benefit from the complete demoralization of the population.

Spies in Trade.

The large retail business places of all the cities employ a shopper whose duties are to visit rival shops and to com pare prices. If necessary she buys cer- tain articles and sends them to her own address; then a boy from the store is dispatched for them, and if the prices reported are below those of their own, the goods are immediately marked down. This explains the wonderful equality of bargain sales; sometimes a house which wants to undersell a com petitor keeps lowering it's prices until they will sell below cost. A profes- sional shopper, if detected, is liable to insult from the people whose methods she has investigated; she must be very wary and polite woman or her little game will soon be spoiled.

EVERYONE regrets, and none more than the gentleman himself, that Repre- sentative Enloe, in a burst of temper, was an unfortunate occurrence, viewed from any standpoint. True MT Enloe contends that MT Raum had in a private conversation admitted doing the thing which he so positively denied when testifying to the house committee, but his testimony could have been officially contradicted and disproved without the use of language that should never be permissible among gentlemen.

THE theory of chance is an exploded one, very truly remarks Olive Ohnet, of the Chicago Graphic, and luck is only worshiped by the gambler, who steals his money from the community as truly as does the thief, whether he be deal CT in options or in faro. As men's disbelief in the supernatural, in ghosts, witches and wizards declines, their be- lief in luck and chance, the patron saint of the idle and the vicious, also grows nless and less. Still there are many smart people. who ''pooh pooh' a ghost story even while they carry a buckeye" in their pocket for the ''rheu- matiz"
