The Philosophy Of Prosperity.

The Philosophy Of Prosperity.
In his recent Boston address, Hon.
Bourke Cochran pointed out the gen.
eral principles that govern the mat
ter of prosperity: There are certain
Fundamental rules and essential OBJ
legations that must be observed, he
urged, or there can be no success in
the in the true meaning of the word.
1t is necessary, in the first place. to
discard the erroneous and pernicious
idea-the basis Of Populism-that the
government can make prosperity by
philanthropic legislation, and fill
mems pockets with money in some
miraculous fashion. Tho most that
the government can do is TO keep
general conditions in good order, t.
provide equal opportunities for all
classes, to pursue . friendly course
towards businsss and induskrial in
terests Of every sort. This means
that it can maintain q sound currency
system. establish just and fair tariff
policy, and SO shape its laws as to
encourage the enterprises that give
employment to labor and develop the
resources of the country. But it can
not furnish the diligence, the energy,
the courage and the perseverance
that are indispensable to material
triumph and progress. It can not
produce the commodities which rep
resent prosperity and increase the
sum of national wealth and the pre-
vailing measure Of popular comfort
and happiness. 1t it could do all Of
these things, the millennium would
come tomorrow, and life in the
United States would be q perpetual
picnic.
Those who expect the hard times
to disappear in a sudden way and
through some mysterious and benif-
cent process Of sorcery will be dis
appointed; but they will not have any
reasonable cause Of complaint. The
promised prosperity, as Mr.. Cochran
says, sis in the course of creation"
There are hopeful signs in all direc-
tons. The situation is gradually |
growing better, and the gains are
substantial and permanent. It is not
to be expected that few weeks or
months will suffice to restore de-
pressed industries to their former
condition Of healthy and profitable
to swell the volume OF in
vestment to the proportions Of pre-
vious periods, and to put every idle
laborer in the way of earning steady
and satisfactory wages. These de
sira5le results are all to be confident
y looked for in the course OF events,
but common sense suggests that they
are not to be Immediately anticipated.
The sources of misfortune will have
to be removed one at time, and this
implies duty of patience. Of cheer
and Of mutual helpfulness.
All that the government can do will
be done as soon as the Republican
party assumes control Of il, and the ,
people will do the rest, according to
those slow but sure methods which
signify stability and the kind Of pros
perity that comes to stay.-Globe
Democrat.

some professed Christians are ed

indorse the business by giving it
patronage. Many of these we be-
lieve to be as good Christians as
we; many, much better. And

An INVITING FORM OF INVESTMENT
Many Improvements Talked of in
Suburban Towns.
MIR. HOBART'S RESIDENCE

There are no changes evident in the con-
ditions that have marked real estate circles
for some time past. There are plentiful
offers on the part of owners of good prop
erty to dispose of il at fair prices. but de-
spite the very reasonable proffers, buyer 3
are few and far between. w lere loans on
eligible realty are desired, however, there
Is no difficulty in securing them. Money Is
plentiful for such investments at ) and ~.
per cent, and a good deal Of it has been
placed recently at this rate. The disincli-
nation of capitalists to make permanent
investments in real estate by purchase is
believed to be due to determination on
the part of pc ople with money to wait for
some more decided signs of a revival of
healthy business conditions before making
such inve stments.
The erection of apartment houses seems
to be still a favored consideration on the
part OF these who are willing to invest on
large scale, with assurance OF profit
able returns, and the latest project in this
direction is now being contemplated by
Senator Cameron and Mr.. Myron NJ. Par
ker. These gentlemen have had plans
drawn by Architect J. g. Meyers for the
erection of building on the lot owned by
them on Clifton street near 14th, Columbia
Heights. The lot has frontage of ~ feet
on Clifton street ana a depth of 2U3 feet
There is 18-foot alley at the side and a
Zo-foot alley in the rear. The lot is No. 4
in block 30, of John Sherman's subdivision
OF Columbia Heights, and fronts south,
overlooking Belmont, the beautiful place
OF Mr.. A. l.. Barber. The building
contemplated the lot will be Of
brick with stone trimmings and will be
eight stories in height The plans call for
twenty-seven apartments OF seven rooms
ard bath each. On the ground floor, be-
sides the offices, cafe, kitchen and other
necessary rooms, will be a drug store a
barber shop and billiard room and bowl
ing alley. There will be laundry and dry
ing rooms and sixteen bicycle rooms the
necessity for such being as paramount an
accompaniment to modern buildings as
stables were to the old. There will be two
elevators and steam-heating plant. The
cost oil the structure is estimated at Sl2J
ooo. Senator Cameron and Mr. Parker are
now considering the plans, and the prob
abll1t,es are that they will be carried out
curing the approaching season. If the con-
apartments will be rented at moderate
prices. tie idea being to afford eligible per
