What Prosperity Costs.

Full grown men who have passed through the school of diversity and mho have watched the trend of things in this country for the past generation are ready~to welcome the wave of pros perity, but they expect to pay for what they get.
 Measured by years this is new coun- hry, but it is old in experience. 1t has lived fast and is now middle-aged, to say the least. The generous and reckless enthusiasm of youth is thing of the past. There is no more good land to give away. Everything valuable now has an owner. Society aras settled down and there are classes and masses. Men are strictly business in their dealings. Friendship counts for very little, except between congenial people who are in-

The IndianannIis Victory.

It will not be a bad idea to keep an eye on the dashing Tom Taggart of Indiana, the bounding blue-eyed boy of destiny who ran on a silver platform and carried the city of Indianapolis for the mayoralty by a majority exceeding carried last year by several thousand. The contest in Indianapolis was made upon the issues which formed the diff ferent lines of thought between the two parties in the campaign of 1896.
 Ordinarily municipal contests cut but little figure In either state or national affairs, but the campaign as waged in Indianapolis was on strict party lines, the same as those which existed be- tween MT. Mckinley and MT. Bryan. A victory like the one won by Mayor Taggart and his party practically means that Indiana can with safety be consid- cred in the democratic column at the next election. With a free ballot and a fair count Indiana is always a demo- cratic state and would have been such last year had it not been for the trait ors in the ranks of the party.
 Mayor Taggarts opponent, MT. liar din, is a most reputable gentleman, a. high class representative of the republi- can party, and personal as we'll as a political friend of President Mckinley, representing most faithfully the national principles of the republican party and to this was added the influence of Ex- President Harrison, used in a political sense as we'll as that of being the most honored citizen in Indianapolis, a gen. tleman who is admired by men of all political parties. With all these influ- ences at work MT. Taggart, the represen- tative of the principles laid down at Chicago year ago last July, was tri- umphant and carried the banner un- stained and untrammeled to a glorious victory which will make Indiana one of the jewels in the democratic constel1a- ton. three years hence. Keep your eye on Tom Taggart, of Indianapolis.

Two MiIIionaires.

The newspapers are commenting on the wills of the late Ogden Goelet, of New York, and Lewis Ginter, of Rich mond. The two men were millionaires. Goelet left his entire estate to his fami- ly. Ginter made splendid bequests to a 1 large circle of relatives and friends, and to twenty-seven religious and charita- ble institutions besides.
 Ginter belonged to the best type of our rich men. He was not selfish. He loved his kindred, but he also took an interest in other people and in the institutions which benefit mankind. Instead of mak- ing two or three millionaires out of those who We're nearest and dearest to him, he thought it better to divide his wealth and make it do the world as much good as possible.
 Millionaires of his class are beloved by the people. Men never hated him because he was rich. Nor did they hate George W. Childs. On the contrary, the, prosperity of those men was hailed with pleasure, because they were public spirited and the lovers of their fellow low-men. The country needs more wealthy citizens of their type.

Dry in the Middle West.

The drought in, the states of which illinois is the center-states that are the grainary of the country-has lasted nearly two months. All pasturage has withered, water courses have dwindled or disappeared, and the fall blowing has been stopped. In some of these states winter wheat is largely grown. The blowing season is now two or three weeks hate, but if rains should come soon much blowing and seeding would be done. Another month of rainless weather would, however, seriously diminish the next crop of winter wheat 1t would lessen the crop at least 10O,- 900, 900 bushels. But when winter wheat cannot be sown, spring wheat may be; and it Is much too soon to put up the prices of wheat on that account.
 The drought affects nearly every state in the Mississippi and Missouri valleys north of the gulf states. It is felt alike in Arkansas and Manitoba, in Wyoming and Ohio, but Is more intense in Illinois, Indiana and Missouri. It is sad that B. 100000 square mles are too dry to admit of progress in the work of blowing and seeding.

Patriots Without Pay.

General Weyler admits thst the Span ish soldiers in Cuba have not received any pay in six months. The majority of the troops are boys and young men, and it is not likely that thsir enthusi- asm will last long without money. They love excitement, but they love pleasure more, and they cannot frolic much in Cuban cities and towns with empty pockets.
 If the Spaniards have to go a few months longer without pay they will de- sert in large numbers to the Cuban side. Such things have happened before. What Spain needs most is money. She cannot equip and maintain armies in the field without paying them. The av- erag5 soldier who is forced into service has no patriotism. He wants pay and plunder Cut him off from both and he will become a deserter.
 Lack of money is the most serious disadvantage the Spaniards have to con- tend with in Cuba.

different and comfortable. There Is plen- ty of money, but 1t is never easy. Cap ital never forgets its dues, and it will run no risk.
 Prosperity will come occasionally. but it will bring no flush time to idlers and those who have nothing to sell. There will never be such flush times as were seen in the old frontier days and the -Far era, unless there should be another big war, which would. of course, cause currency imitation and stimulate speculation. Prosperity will come to those who can pay for 1t. People must pay for it with property, products, skill ed labor, enterprise and ideas demanded by the world. The possessors of these things will get their share of prosperity, but without them a man will be poor in- deed.
 Men ard women with nothing of value to sell; no superior ideas, enterprise or labor wiI be left high and dry by the wave of prosperity. Bear this in mind. Prosperity is net shower of good things falling iniiscriminately upon all. It is a boon which must be paid for. and the idle, unprcductive consumer will never enjoy it,

A Sensible ludqe.
The New York World has the follow ing suggestive editorial.

The New York World has the follow ing suggestive editorial:
 Judge Gaynor declares that four inches Of space in a newspaper is more effec- tive than a public meeting in promoting any good cause or overthrowing any bad one.
 Of course, it is. At best. a public meeting embraces two or three thousand men, nine-tenths of them already con- virced "A publication tn a paper reaches millions, and the utterance that is con- confined to four inches of space is more effective beIcause of its terseness than the padded, verbose speechifying of any ora tor.
 Oratory still has its place as an influ- ence to sway the minds of men. But the newspaper Utterance in four inches of space is often more effective than all the oratory of all the eloquents. More over the oratory itself gets it's chief in- Huence from newspaper reproduction. The newspapers in our age rule the world as truely as the sword did in mediaeval pimeS.
 Nothing could be truer than this, and yet there are some people who do not appreciate It's full force.
 The modern newspaper 1las partially supplanted the orator, and the man who delivers an eloquent speech depends upon the newspapers to make him famous, and carry his utterances to hosts of readers in distant cities and states. The orator is still power in a small circle, but his influence may be greatly increased or diminished by the press. After all, his reputation depends upon the newspaper verdict. The first Napo- leon knew the power of newspapers and hated them. He said that journalists tried to be the regents of na tions and tutors of soveredgns. All tyrants and bad men fear and dislike newspapers.
 Nearly every great and successful movement in civilization these days is aided by the press. Few. if any, great reforms are ever successful without the support of this potential factor. The majority of the people are educated by newspapers. Many of the brightest men and women in the Fand never read any, thing else, and they hold their own in the most cultured circles.
 It would be dreary and weary world without newspapers.

HOME WHERE THE HEART IS.
By John J. Miller.

By John J. Miller. 'Tis home where'er the heart is Where'er its loved ones dwell; In cities. or in cottages.
 Thronged haunts, or messy dell! Tie heant's a rover ever;
 And thus on wave and wild The maiden with her lover walks The mother with her child. Iris bright where'er the heart is; Its fairy spells can bring Fresh fountains to the wilderness, And to the desert, spring, There are green isles in each ocean Der which affection glides; And haven on each distant shore, When Loves the star that guides. Iris free where'er the heart isl Nor chains, nor dungeon dim, May check the minds aspirings- The spirits pealing hymn! The heart gives life it's beauty Its glory and its power: "Tis sunlight to it's iippling strra Soft dew upon it's fiower'

Let the 'sCenturies" Be.

From the New York Herald
 Where is a growing craze among wo- men at present to win and wear ''cen- tury' run medals. And some of them even aspire to the double and triple cen- 'tury honors. Nothing can be worse for them than these century runs. And as for the greater distance contests, they are simply invitations to suicide-an overtaxing of physical strength that no womIan can long withstand.

Frate the dark days of war. In another quarter of a century such incidents will have passed away with the brave men who made them possible. So the Arkan- sas confederates have decided to publish this year a company and regimental his tory.
 The reunions of confederates in this state would do we'll to give this subject attention. There need be no expense in connection with such a volume, for the sale of the book would repay any req sonable ous1ay. But some one must be found-preferably al soldier-Who has time to give to such an undertaking, and he should be a man who would bring The gathering of the parts could be sys- tematica9ly arranged for-the members of each company and regiment attending to that part of the work, sending their respective stories, in the rough, per haps, to the selected editor, who would put all the materal in symmetrical form for the use of the historian of the future and of generations unborn. Something more interesting than official documents is desirable, yet possessing their detail and accuracy. It is not, however, pro- posed to write history so much as to pre- serve facts and incidents connected with company and regimental organizations.
 If our veterans desire such book they should act soon, for every year lessens the number of those who can furnish the very best materials for it. Every year lessens the number of those who with stood ''the death-shot missing from affair the shock-the shou't-the groan of war" and the stories they have to tell, In con- nection with their company and regi- mental organizations, should be gathered in and put beyond loss.
