FALL BUSINESS PROSPECTS.

At the beginning Of autumn ali indi- cations are for one of the most prcs- porous busin-Gs seasons Of modern times. The country at large was never in better ccnlition for new and sub startial advance. There is financial confidence, an ever growing volume Of manufactures and exports, better prices, better wages and good crops. The war optned Up new and pernaa- nant demands upon our industries. Fully $500. eco has been or will be expended by the government over the war and its resulting acquisition ol new territory, and every dollar of that money comes to cur people. We are today buylng less than before from abroad, while we are selling more in fcrcign markets than at any time in our history. Whatever goes to make up material wealth and prosperity this country possesses to.,ay in a ccns2icu- GUS measure.
 During a long depression of trade due to democratic misrule our business men got out of the way of aggressive business direction.

Commodore Philip has gained by the system of promotion which is in vogue in the navy, but he nevertheless pro- tests against it as unfair to others equally deserving Such an utterance throws flood of light on the esprit du corps which characterizes naval off cers and which has had much to do with their efficiency. That the various promotions growing out of the war are deserved TO one will deny. But cer- tainly it is hardship to those who had no opportunity to fight that their com rades should be advanced at their ex- pense. Moreover, an officer who has been advanced so many numbers for meritorious service may be practically retarded by subsequent promotions of others. Ths whole system is absurd and unjust, and one Of the tasks await ing congress is to reform it. There IS no good reason why promotions should rot be absolute, and not imply the injury of svme one who might havf been favored, tee. if the chance tc hghi lad come ts Linn.
