The Pace That Kills.

That money and position do not bring
rest and comfort is a fact so well known
that it has almost passed into proverb.
This instance is only one of many.
Chicago writer had called upon man
who has two positions of honor and
trust and is besides a man of snug
fortune. In fact, if his temperament
were less like an engine at full speed,
he could retire beneath his vine and fig
tree at once, and, though he never
pruned or spun again, he could live
life of luxury.
"You can spare time to arrange this
matter?" asked the writer of the rich
man, mentioning the subject.
81 do not see how can," was the re-
ply. 81 have to dictate dozen letters
on important matters and get them in
the mail by noon. Then have to at
tend meeting Of the directory of my
concern at one o'clock, and that will
last an hour. Then must jump into
cab and drive to my home, and there
must take hasty lunch. My daughter,
who has been absent for two years, has
just returned to spend the holidays. I
would like to visit her if I had time. but
1 cannot, for by the time get through
luncheon and get my grip in order it
will be time for me to take the train to
New York, where / am due in forty
eight hours. I shall be in New York
two days, and then when come back I
will be behind in my business affairs to
such an extent that will be kept tied
to the wheel for the next thirty days,
day and night"

Our Postal System.

If the people are slow to demand and
congress to decree advances needed to
place our postal system on a par with
that of other countries, encouraging in
novations have nevertheless recently
been made. The postal subsidy law,
while not fulfilling the expectations of
its friends, has necessitated the imme-
date building of ships and started
American mail under the American flag,
on regular and more rapid courses than
hitherto. The withdrawal of one mil
lion dollars from postal revenues caused
by the anti-lottery law measures its
benefits. Post offices on ships for sort
ing mail have enabled western mer-
chants to reply to European correspon-
dents by the same vessel bringing the
first message. Still, says the Chautau-
guam, in face of public apathy regard
ing our postal deficiencies, an executive
to introduce modern methods must have
the patience of Griselda and the en-
terprise of worlds fair commission.

The Coal Supply.

Considerable alarm has been ex-
pressed by those concerned in the pro-
duction of the fuel supply of the coun-
try that the coal mines of America are
fast becoming exhausted. We have,
however, the assurance from scientific
sources that this danger is not imminent,
and that coal fields are yearly being
discovered in new countries and their
extent and richness can only be guessed
at. It is true that many of these are in
accessible at present, but they could be
made available if necessity demanded.
Alaska is country that particularly
abounds in mineral wealth, and coal
of a good quality is plentiful there.
Valuable coal mines are now beginning
to be worked on one of the Shumagin
group Of islands. nearly a thousand
miles west of Sitka. The supply is
easily mined, and is said to be practi-
cally inexhaustible. The product is
even now being placed in the market of
San Francisco. and at a cost OF only
four dollars per ton. Arctic voyagers
have found coal cropping out Of the sur
face of Greenland, and we may yet find
means to mine it there. Even though
ingenuity may make US independent of
coal for the development of power, it is
Measuring to know that we may draw
upon bountiful nature for supply for
centuries yet to come.

How FAR the criminal law was vio-
lated, and how far it was avenged, in
regard to murder, during 1891 is shown
by the following figures which relate
to the United States The number of
murders in this country last year
amounted to 5000, or 1,616 more than
in 1890, and $3.50 more than in 1889.
The executions in 1891 numbered only
12S, of which 81 took place in the north
and 96 in the south That is, one muir
derer in 4s received capital punishment
During the same period, the lynchings
which outraged instead of avenged the
law. numbered 1876. or Is more than in
any previous year. The lynchings all
occurred in the states west of the Ohio
and south of Maryland.

A REDUCTION of letter postage has
been contemplated for some time. and
has numerous earnest and prominent
advocates, but the general opinion
seems to be that it would be costly
experiment for this country. According
to reliable calculations reduction OF
one-half in the postage on first-class
matter would mean, on the basis OF the
estimated business for the present year,
a loss of nearly twenty three million
dollars of revenue Some OF this would
doubtless be made up from the larger
number of letters written in conse-
quence of the low rate. but it requires
a good deal Of faith to believe that any
large proportion of it would be. These
figures are not encouraging to the ad-
vocates of lower postage.

Last Years Business Failures.

The record of business failures for
1891 shows an excess of 1,721over those
of the preceding year, fact which is
attributed to the depression of the clos
ing days of the year. The middle states
showed the most failures, or 5000,
against 1,7s9 in the northeastern states,
2,412 in the southern states, 2,602 in the
west, LISP in the Pacific states, 143 in
the territories and 1884 in the north
west. The northwestern states show
the lowest record with the exception OF
the Pacific states; but that section in
cludes eight of the most important
states in the union.
The number of failures in the coun-
try with liabilities 100000 or over was
2S4 last year as against 1914 in 1890 and
the number of bank failures was So, as
against 80 in 1890, the excess being due
to some aggravated cases of bank wreck
ing by fiduciary individuals and to the in
herent weakness of some private banks,
which were stricken amidships by the
tremor which rolled from London when
the Barings failed. Bradstreet's at
tributes the increase of bank failures
to the assiduous cultivation of irrespon-
sible banks, and that is no doubt cor
rect conclusion, which should be duly
considered by all thoughtful and con-
servatiye business men,
1t is said that in the majority OF
cases of business failures last year the
parties did not have sufficient capital to
embark in business. In these days the
man who goes into manufacturing with
inadequate capital is almost sure to
be swamped by the competition of the
big concerns. There was time in this
country when it was possible for a man
with a few thousand dollars to 60 into
a manufacturing business, and the
country was full of small manufac-
turers. All that is changed now. The
manufacturing business is conducted
on large scale by heavily capitalized
companies. 1t is SO to a great extent in
dry goods and other lines where the
small dealer does not have the chance
he formerly had. The largest per cent
age of failures in 1891 was in the more
meagerly capitalized businesses. Men
have not learned that they can't 60 into
mercantile business altogether on nerve
and muscle.

me rmmieration Outlook.

Tho Immigration Outlook.
tits a significant coincidence that ct
the period when greater care in restrict
ing immigration is being urged upon
the American authorities movement
is on foot in Europe to send hither an
unusually large number of immigrants
during 1892.
According to the Chicago News not
less than twenty thousand exiled Rus-
sian Jews are said to be awaiting trans
portation to America from Bremen
and Hamburg Large sums have been
raised by the relief committees OF Lon
don and Berlin. and when spring opens
concerted deportation OF the unfor-
tunate exiles to this country Is to begin.
Such philanthropists as Baron Hirsch
and Baron Rothschild have agreed that
the tide of emigration should be divert
ed from England, where the labor
market is much overcrowded, to Amer
lea, where the chances of profitable en-
ployment are better.
It is well that there should be no mis-
understanding as to our national policy
regarding this class Of assisted immi-
grafton. The sufferings of the exiled
Jews have justly aroused the sympathy
of the civilized world No country will
furnish better opportunities for them to
begin life over again than the United
States of America. But when all this
is said there is still the necessity for adj
herring to the policy of excluding unde-
sirable immigrants. Fortunately, q
very large proportion of these exiles
cannot be classed as paupers, as was
shown during the last season, when
thousands of them passed the Gordon OF
inspection at New York without pro-
test.
It is to be hoped the relief committees
of the old world will so familiarize
themselves with our immigration laws
as to obviate the necessity for making
wholesale reflections during the coming
season. The United States does not
limit its asylum for immigrants for
class reasons, but for the protection OF
the whole body of citizens.

The Blaine divorce case is ended and
a decree has been rendered in favor OF
Mrs. Blaine. Indeed we do not see how
it could have been otherwise from
the testimony. Young Blaine seems to
be weak, vacillating man, not very
bad perhaps but without any moral
stamina and Mrs. Blaine is much better
off without him. Since their marriage
she has been compelled to support her
self and child and she has energy and

tinue to do it. That great man seldom

Think of the Present.

Too many of us are looking forward
to happiness in the future instead Of
getting all possible enjoyment out of
the present-planning to be rich or IA
nous or prospered in the future in
stead of taking thankfully and enjoy
ing fully the blessings of to-day. But
it is well to remember that the time
will never come when we shall have
everything we want, just how and
where and when we want it. It is
right, says philosophic writer in the
Detroit Free Press, to lay up for old
age and to make reasonable provision
for the future, but it is neither right
nor wise in doing this to put of to
some possible future the happiness we
might enjoy to-day-to deny ourselves
proper recreation and comfort now,
that we may buy more land or build q
more elegant house or lay up money
for children. thinking that when all
this is accomplished we will take COM
fort and be happy-the hoped-for point
may never be reached; or, if it is, sick
ness or death may come first and the
dear one with whom we expected to be
happy may be gone forever. Far bet
ter to take thankfully the good things
of life as every day they are given-to
receive every one of them as memento
to duty, and in all so to live as to make
every day a progress in right living
here and preparation for the better life
beyond.
