Most Of the men who complain that the place in which they live is dead are among those who are engaged In killing it. The first and best thing for n town Is to have citizens who take pride in its progress and bend their energies to in- crease it's business and beauty. The pur- chasing power of the inhabitants of the town determlnos what the number of em- ployess shall be and the amount of free money which shall be In circulation. Every man who buys of home merchants and patronIzss home industries adds to the purchasing power of the place and contributes to its prosperity. Every per. son who trades away from home de- creases the purchasing power of the com. munity In which he lives and adds to that where he buys his goods. Those who do not buy their goods of home'mer- chants arc promoting depressing condl- tions and making life harder for the working people about them.
 It Is not economy to go away from home to trade under any circumstances. Whom an average is struck, we do not be- Hove anything Is gained by trading away from homo. Many people who have tried it have succeeded in getting a poorer AI- tiole abroad than for the same price they could have obtained at home.
 Trading at home, if lived up to, would help merchants, help wage-earners, help the business enterprise and business re- pute of the town and in a way would be beneficial to every resident of the place. --Nog1oich Bulletin.

The irults or the Santiago victory are so great that all criticism must fall away. The generalshlp displayed may not have been of high order, yet 1t Is useless to quarrel over generalship when, somehow, immense results are forthcoming. His torians, we suspect, will not credit the Spanlards with any headwork In their de- fense, since they did not begin to fight in earnest until after our men had landed and had reached the outer works of the city. The result, on the whole, tends to strengthen the belief that Havana itself would not prove such difficult prize.
