punctuality of clerks this morning was quite
noticeable.

SPEAKER CRISP S CoyDIrIoN.-Speaker Crisp's
condition today is somewhat better than yes
terday. He dictated dozen or more letters
yesterday afternoon and will probably do some
more work on his correspondence this after
noon. He is still very weak and tires quickly.
1t is not likely that he will be able to resume
work presiding officer of the House before
week after next at the earliest, but his COM
plete recovery is now thought to be simply q
matter Of time and prudence.

Southern Prosperity.

That the south Is growing rapidly is
shown by the fact that 1,740 new manu-
featuring enterprise were located within
her borders during the past six months.
These have been attracted to this section
by reason of the cheap raw materials and
fuel, of which the south can boast
greater supply than is found elsewhere
in the union. That portion Of West Vlr-
ginia, Maryland and Virginia lying along
the line of the Baltimore & Ohio railroad

The Road to Ruin.

Every day we read Of bright, well-edu-
Gated young fellows all over the country
who have joined the endless procession
On the road to ruin.
What does it all mean? These young
sters cannot plead ignorance. They read
the newspapers and they know that crime
is detected and punished; that dissipation
wrecks a man; that when character Ii
lost all is lost, and that there is no room
anywhere in society for q man who Is
dishonest and depraved.
Yet, knowing this, young men Of good
families, with the ability to earn COM
Portable living, become cheats and swind-
lers defaulters and forgers, and after
brief career suffer the penalty.
1t is incomprehensble. Admitting that
they lack honesty, how can they be SO
utterly devoid of common sense? Even
q dishonest man should know that hon
esty is the best policy, and for his own
interest, if for no higher motive, he
should keep his obligations, pay his debts,
tell the truth and respect the property
rights Of others.
A few days ago we read the story of a
man who had just been arrested in Bos-
ton for passing forged checks. He is
an old offender and will go to prison for
twenty-five years under the habitual GRIM
inal act. This man is the son OF
q wealthy end prominent merchant in a
southern city. Before the VIZ he was
cast off by his father on account of his
swindling habits. He served in the con-
federate army, and at one time was d
clerk in Atlanta. Handsome and gifted,
he made friends readily, and had be
trouble in securing good positions. Bur
he delighted in outwittng peOple-in
showing his superior cunning. He bor-
rowed, cheated and forged for small
amounts, even when he was not in need.
Discovery always followed, and he drift
ed from place to place. His first OhenSe
in Boston was just after the war. The
court was so favorably impressed by his
glib tongue that ne got off with term
in the house of correction. When he was
released he tried the same old game, and
now at the age of fifty-seyen, after serv-
ing several short terms, he goes back 10
prison for twenty-five years.
This is the story of one bright young
fellow, rich mans son. who chose the
road to ruin. His fate will be the fate
of many, while others will fill suicides
graves, or become fugit yes in foreign
lands.
These criminals do not make as much
money by dishonesty as they would have
made by honest work, and they certainly
have a much harder time.
Why, then, do they choose the way OF
the transgressor? Why not be content
with % dollar honestly earned with the
happiness it brings instead Of reaching
out after another mans dollar, with the
certainty of exposure, punishment dis
grace and ruin?
