NO ROOM FOR PESSiMISM.
Senator OF Nevada sees
Strong signs OF Prosperity.

NEW YORK, Aug. Ex-senator
Stewart Of Nevada engaged in a Wig
orous campaign in Wall street and
declares that he had heard so much
about better times that he has deter
mined to Gather in a part of the
prosperity which is not only rampant
in the street, butthroughout the land" "
When asked what had brought
about the changein his views, he said:
There is nc room for pessimism in
this country. No one can be d Dear
in the face of the wheat famine in Ar
~gentinc, Russia. Hungary and India.
IN view of these conditions abroad, l
should not be surprised to see silver
sell as low as twenty-five cents and
wheat Is high as Il dollar. There is
nothing il talking silver at the pres
ent time. and my advice TO my friends
in the West is TO fail in line with the
forces OF prosperity and progress and
receive their due share OF the reward.
The time has passed for the old is
sues. We mustturn 10 face new issues
and new conditions. / frequently hear
it said that this security market is Il
duplicate of the market OF 1873. Il is
not. 1t is more OF Il bull market. All
a MAI has to do is TO get into it, 90
sleep and get rich. The wheat situa-
ton in the West will make every rail
way not a dividend Garner, but Il divi-
dend payer. Railroads that have been
mOribund for years are now taxed to
their fullest capacity and are still I'M
able to accommodate their traffic. !
am told that there is imminent danger
of ii a famine on many of the most
important lines traversing this coun-
Are the people in the West alive TO
new situation:"
The people in the West" he re-
piled, ARE wide awake. They know
"A good thing when they see it. Most
Vi them are hanging on to their GER
with confidence born Of hope and
actual knowledge of what is going on
them. With their immense
crops they will be able, not only to
liqdidatc their Indebtedness to tie
money sharks OF the East, but will in
iugurate 4 buying movement that will
surprise the people in this part Of the
country. think that by the late fail
he truth of what | said and RENTER
itcd during the campaign will be gen
recognized and thisis that there

Let none in the East be deluded into
a rush to the Alaska gold mines, says
the Philadelphia Times. If there was
a reasonable prospect of maintaining
life during the coming winter, men of
youth and vigor might make the VEN
ture, but rs it would be an insane act
to 90 there now without being able to
take at least six months provisions
along. and as not one in a thousand
of those who are going there can pos
sibly be thus supplied, those who are
wise should dismiss the Alaska gold
fever for the present at least. There
will be more than enough of suffering
and sacrifice, even when the most
earnest precautions have been given
in every community. Those who need
employment would do much better to
be patient even under suffering at
home than to risk the inevitable re-
suits of such a journey. Don't rush
to Alaska.
