SIGNS OF RETURNING PROSPERITY

SIGNS OF RETURNING PROSPERITY
Chicago Inter Ocean: Accord
ing to dispatches from Boston
the hotel men who have been
holding a national gathering in
that city say that business is
taking an upward bound" One
of the best known hotel proprie-
tors in Cincinnati told Boston
reporter that, in his opinion,
times are improving" ''Just
at present. he added, ''the i'm
proyeinent cannot be noticed very
much, but out our way people are
feeling better, and there is a
general sentiment of hopeful
ness" A Chicago hotel man
says that Throughout the middle
West a feeling Of confidence is
returning, and by the fall there
will be a general improvement .
The general manager of the Illi-
nois Central's system of hotels
finds that "a general feeling of
confidence is returning in the
West and South, and that there
is a better feeling among business
men, This is the general tenor
of opinion expressed by the men
interviewed, and it is of an ultra
conservative character.
There is much in the business
situation to support this hopeful
view. 1t has been noticed that
the stock market in the past
three or four weeks has been
stronger than it was previously,
with general tendency toward
higher prices. Europe is buying
some of the American securities
which it sold during during the
financial reign Of terFof.. which

Boys, Take Notice.

Charter Oak Times: 1t is no difficult
job to sum up what the future OF d
boy will be by his general disposition
to work. An exchange fully covers
the ground in the following: When
you see a youth who will do any sort of
work. no matter how menial it may be,
rather than be idle. you may make up
your mind that he amounts to some
thing. The young man who would
starve before he would do anything
beneath what he conceives 20 be below
his dignity is not made of the right
stuff to cut much of figure in life.
All honest toll is honorable. There is
nothing SO morally degrading us that
aversion to manual. labor which. is
usually q com mbination of laziness and
oonceits"

addresses by the pastors, the
singing of patriotic airs, band
music, etc, and that the rooms be
decorated with flags and flowers.
Patriotis.. and religion surely
ought to mix we'll, and that re-
ligion which contains no patriot
ism or love of country is too cold
to generate sufficient steam to
rise far above the surface of the
earth.

to the tariff bill would have been
adopted had it been put to a
straight vote yes or no, notwith-
Standing the serious imperfec-
tions in it which were pointed
out, but the vote was not taken
upon the amendment but upon
Senator Allison's motion to lay
the amendment Upon the table,
which was carried bv vote of IS
to %, thus showing the truth of
the saying about there being
more than one dog to kill. Sena-
tors who favored the Pettigrew
amendment haye given notice of
their intention to offer several
similar amendments before the
bill is disposed of, and they will
do their best to have them direct
~ voted upon instead of being
killed by motions to lay on the
table. Senator Pettus, who voted
to lay on the table, has also
offered an amendment to prohibit
the Importation of raw sugar by
the trust.
Senator Pettigrew doesn't think
that the fact that sugar stock did
not rise as many points during
the consideration of the sugar
schedule of the present tariff bill
as during the tariff debate on the
Wilson bill, gives the present
senate any cause for pride. When
Mr.. Pettigrew referred to the rise
i'll sugar stock he was interrupted
by Senator Gear, who said that
the sugar debate in the senate
three years ago sent up sugar
stock 40 points, and he exclaimed
in reply: II think that the two
debates on sugar---now and three
years ago---justify the existence
of new political party"
After fully discussing the sew
eral propositions to amend the
tariff bill so as to curtail the
profits of the advance importa-
tions of foreign goods, upon which
duties will be advanced by the
new tariff, the senators have in
formally decided them all to be
impractica bic and none of them
will be pushed. Although this
is far from satisfactory it must be
accepted simply because there is
apparently nothing else that can
be done.
Petitions asking that the senate
speedily dispose of the tariff bill
are pouring in upon that body in
a steady stream and from almost
every section of the country.
The sugar fight ended as far as
the senate is concerned when the
sugar schedule was this week
adopted, but the final round will
not be fought until the entire bill
has been passed by the senate and
sent to a conference. Then the
house conferees will make de-
clded stand for the cutting out of
the senate amendments to the.
original house sugar schedule,
and if the talk of members is
lived up to, they will maintain it
until they carry their point.
Mr.. Calhoun, President Nc
Kinley's special Cuban commits

cided to request the republican
leaders of the house to put
through the Morgan resolution
for the recognition of Cuban
belligerency.
