THE BUSINESS REVIVAL.

The bankers have at length come out of
their habitual envelope of reserve and
freely admit that times are much better,
and when banker says this it means
good deal. They report money much
easier, collections better and interest
coming in more promptly than for several
years. In addition, they say that there is
abundance OF money on hand for solvent
borrowers.
The banker is the best Judge of the state
of trade. He holds the pursestrings. He
knows when money is easy and when it is
tight, for he is the source of supply. Up
to this time he has been cautious about
seeing any marked Improvement in trade.
He wanted to be sure before speaking.
But now he has spoken, for he sees the
rain bow in the financial sky and he pre-
diets good times from now on. He has
placed his Endorsement on the universal
letter of credit.
He has plenty of collateral testimony to
back up his statements. There is the
wool man, who says that wool is more
active than ever before, and that, in fact
the past week In wool was the heaviest
ever known, and who laughs at you when
you talk to him about hard times. Then
there is the wheat operator, who points
out that the whole world needs American
wheat this year, and who says that prices
for wheat bid fair to be still higher later
on. Then there is the hide and leather
man, who will tell you that these two
staples have advanced at least 10 per cent
during as many days and that further
advance is not i'm mprobable. Then there is
the proyision-dealer. who reports an
active and hardening market. Then
comes the dried-fruit dealer, who says
that only several weeks ago all the fruit
buyers in the country were talking about
heavy crops and low prices this year, but
that these same bears have all disappeared
and their wall is no longer heard in the
land.
They have discovered that times are
much better than they were, and they
know that when times are good they are
not going to buy fruit at prices below cost

MCKINLEY AND CALIFORNIA.

Tonight the citizens Of San Francisco,
independent OF party, will gather in mass
meeting at California Hall for the purpose
of formally inviting President Mckinley
to visit the Golden Slate. Brilliant speak
ers will address the assem- blage, and the
occasion promises TO be one OF unbounded
enthusiasm.
The people of this City and of this State
are unit in their eagerness to have the
Nations chief magistrate visit the boun-
teous land by the sunset shore. Repub-
licans, Democrats and Populists alike join
in the chorus of welcoming voices.
All appreciate the benefits that would
inure from such a visit. California's re-
source and advantages have been too
little known TO statesmen of the East in
the past. 1t is the common desire that
the President may come here, and see for
hims self the wonders of which the Chris
tian Endeavorers will soon be telling In
their Eastern homes.
Californians have a warm admiration
for President Mckinley, and they will re-
ioice to pay him the honor due to his ex-
allied Office and to his noble personal
character, as well as to his fame as a
champion of the American protective
policy.
If the facts regarding this resourceful
country on the Pacific Slope were II more
widely known and recognized among men
Of commanding influence in the affairs of
the Nation, this State would profit largely
by the increased consideration which her
demands would receive.
We want to charm the President with
the most delightful excursion imagin-
able, over a country teeming with vege-
able and mineral riches. When the tar
iff bill was before the Senate few weeks
ago IL was task 10 convince some of the
distinguished statesmen of the extent of
our fruit and wine industries. The vast
ness of our lands OF orchard and of vine
will astonish the President. We are
thankful for the measure of protection
vouchssfed US for the products of our
soil, but we want the President to behold
the ample and golden evidences upon
which our high hopes of future greatness
and glory are builded. We want him to
come and see our big cities and harbors.
We want him TO come and find out how
the people of California love him, and
how they accord a genuine Western greet
ing to the highest servant of the greatest
Republic on earth.

persuaoing those fruit-growers who do
not keep posted through the newspapers
Cf there are any that times are still
hard that the crop is so gigantic that
half OF it cannot possibly be sold, and that
they had better take what is offered them
and be thankful. But such men always
sell cheap.
The most gratifying feature of the pres
ent revival is that the farmer is getting
the benefit of it. 1t is about time that he
was getting the benefit OF sonnet thing. He
has been at the fag end of the procession
for number OF years. Hence it rejoices
the public to know that the present rise in
prices is almost exclusively in the line of
farm products. and that merchandise has
yet to follow. But that will come later
on. 1t is sufficient for the present to
know that the wave of prosperity carries
the farmer on its crest.
1t is idle talk to ask what has caused all
this sudden change in things. Every
body knows that it is the tariff, and every
body is now beginning 10 see that if that
aggregation OF intellect, the Democratic
party, had not removed that tariff four
years or so there never would have been
any hard times. But then we live and
learn

THE FALL OF MRS. LEASE.

Many persons who enjoyed notoriety
and even something of fame in American
politics few years ago have by the sud-
den shifting and changes OF the time
fallen into almost complete obscurity
The decline of none of these has been
more notable than that of Mrs. Lease of
Kansas A short time ago newspa per
which appeared without her name could
hardly have been said to give the news of
the day, but al present she has passed
almost as completely from the stage of
politics as If she were dead, and it is but
seldom she is referred to even as a men,
ory.
According to reports from those who
have studied politics in Kansas, the de.
cline Of the prestige of Mrs. Lease in that
State is due to the fact that she has out
grown the environment. She has changed,
while the Kansas people remain as they
were, and there is no longer harmony
enough between her and her followers to
enable her to maintain her OLD prestige.
1t Is said by one who has made study
of her career that when she first came
before the public she was ungalnly in ap-
pearance and unpublished OF speech, but
speech and appearance Tailed with the
company she kept. That made her effect
i've. She is no longer the same woman,
either in appearance or in her power as an
agitator. Travel and a wider horizon
have changed her. She dresses now after
approved fashions and very well. She
speaks now after models she has studied
here and there, and her speech has i'm
proved. But these things have made
another woman of her. and have cost her
much OF her power.
Mrs. Lease in New York gown with q
Fifth avenue accent has no influence in
Kansas. The words she utters through
the Eastern hat have no spell to thrill a
Populist audience. Her style is better
than it was, but it Is not the style that
catches on with the crowd. In striving to
become National leader and in adopting
the customs of the East she lost the sub.
stance of her power, and without getting
into the four hundred she ceased to be one
of the masses

COUNT THE COST.

The stories told by the successful miners
who have returned from the Yukon gold
fields bearing bags and sacks of the
precious metal, are likely to cause a
mining excitement surprising any that
has been known on this coast tor many a
year. The very remoteness of the district
will add to the fervor in the public mind,
for distance lends enchantmert to the
view" and things far off seem ever
brighter and more promising than those
which are near at hand.
1t is the duty of cautious and sagacious
men to stem the course OF this excite ment
and so moderate it as to save rash and
inconsiderate persons from rushing head
long into the venture for sudden wealth
without providing for any OF the diff
cuitles, disasters and dangers which are
sure to confront almost every one who
undertakes a journey to the distant and
alluring fields of gold. The people OF
California are naturally more susceptible
than any other in the Union to gold
excitsments, for the stories of the State
abound with instances of great strikes
and bonanzas. 1t is here that the danger
of an undue excitement is greatest and
here that the words of warning and
caution should be promptest and
strongest.
We have heard the bright side of the
Alaskan story. We have seen the glitter
ing gold of the successful adventurers.
We have not heard the tales of hardship,
disappointment and failure. We have not
seen the plight of the many who have
found nothing amid the rocks and the
SHOWS, but wretchedness and suffering
and labor in vain.
Stories from distant and comparatively
unknown lands are nearly always
exaggerated and they generally lead to
misconceptions even when the truth is
told, because it is not the whole truth.
From the reports that come to US, it
seems gold can be had in the new diggings
by any one who can handle pick and
shovel. This, we may be sure, is not true
It is safe to say there is already in Alaska
many a miner who has not yet earned
enough to pay for mis- grub-stake.
The California miner who has work at
which he can make sure living, with the
prospect of acquiring a com petence for his
old age by the exercise OF industry and
thrift, had better stay with it. Adventure.
such as that OF trip to the upper Yukon,
should be left to those who have the
means to provide amply for every
emergency that may arise. In no case
should any one undertake it until he has
thoroughly counted the cost. This is one
of the instances where "look before you
leap" is a word to the wise.
