MEN whose business it is to read news

port that there is dearth of blasts at the

Golfers Weekly of recent date. Banks
are no longer being abused, except for
not paying higher interest on deposits,
and railway companies are being men,
toned respectfully and told that stock in
desired extensions of their lines may be
marketed in the sections to be benefited.
Even the Shylock east is being "let up
on" and is being begged to borrow or
otherwise invest the surplus of western
banks. The reason is plain enough; the
farmers have made lot of money; they
have done 80 we'll that but few wish to
borrow and the greater number have paid
their debts and have money to lend. All
of this goes to show how little sense there
was in the storm of grumbling that ragged
for several years and that was at it's worst
during the last presidential cam paign. II
the farmers are wise they will save their
surplus against coming years, when crops
may be smaller or prices lower; lean years
follow fat ones as persistently as they did
in the days of joseph and Pharaoh in
Egypt, the most fertile country of the
world.

FEW days ago, says an exchange, q
gentleman remarked, II am more and

we are becoming nation of GROWERS"
Indeed there is more truth than poetry in
the saying, for we growl at the weather
if it is too hot and we growl if it is too
cold; we growl if it is wet and we growl
if it is dry. We complain at our school
teachers. We curse our law makers if
they enact certain measures and we
denounoe them if they don't. We COM
plain of our business and we fret if we
are rushed. We denounce the news
papers when they print all the bad news
a6Cut us and we bring railing accusations
against them when they don't print some
thing sensational about somebody else
and 80 on through the whole category.
The world, however, would be much bet
ter, individuals and families happier, and
there would often times be sunshine
where there is now shadow, il we would all
stop this nonsensical growing.

THE old barracks and Jail that have
done service for 100 years and more at
Juarez, Mexico, are to be abandoned soon,
and new jail and barracks will be
erected with all the modern safeguards
and convenienoes in the rear of the GUS
tom house. The old quarters have won
derful history, and have done service for
the principals in all the revolutions for a
century in Mexico. Within a stones
throw of these old buildings, President
Benito Juarez had his headquarters when
his army had dwindled to 80 men and an
orderly. Colonel Cutting, the American
who came so near involving us in war
with Mexico ten years ago, was confined
in this bastile. Cattle thieves, smugglers,
murderers, and every class of criminals
and political prisoners have been con-
fined within its walls. Every one seems
glad that it is to be torn down and sue
oeeded by better buildings.
