PROOF OF TIE PUDDING

Business is business. Eastern cotton
factories may close their doors. tenn
porari!y, because of an overstock, and
the mouthpiece of the national calam-
ity combination may wear out his sill
yer throat in declaring that times are
no better than under Cleveland. But
facts are facts, and facts cannot be
downed by wind, whatever its direc-
ton, source or persistency. The collat-
ed facts of the great commercial agen-
cies Of the country for the week past,
as published yesterday morning. in
connection with the bank clearing
house table, cannot be explained away.
Dun's declare the volume Of business
remarkable. Bradstreet's explain that
the improvement is unexampled. The
total increase of clearings over the
same week last year is thirty-six and
one-half per cent, taking the entire
country. There can be no mistake
about these figures No one can either
doubt or refute. Not only is business
increasing by thirty-six per cent
strides, but failures are less in number,
and wheat, the great staple cereal of
the west. is stiffening in price. Every
thing is coming our way, if we except
the enormous cargoes of flour and
meat and the like which we are ship
ping the other fellows way, for which
we want his money. Even the iron
trade has got a move on itself and
longtime glutted market finds profita-
bic relief. Railway construction has
been resumed in many sections of the
country and money in the great centers
which is being offered in unlimited
quantities at fair rates is being called
for in immense volumes. From Cali
fornia to Maine, from Puget Sound to
the Gulf of Mexico, the industrial, the
commercial and the financial conditions
show only marked Improvement. If
these are not the good times whose
<eturn have so long and anXiously been
looked forward 70, they are, unmistak-
ably the fringes and borders of the
promise

The Reward of Valor.

(From the St. James GaZette.)
Perhaps the most dramatic reward Lord
Charles Beresford ever got for valor was
a few years ago. One bitetr cold night
when his ship was of the Falkland Is
lands. there was a cry Of man over
board" The sentry had disappeared be-
meath the floating ice. Though clad in
heavy garments, Lord Charles instntly
seized a coil Of rope and leaped into the
sea. Il went down and down and down. -
said Yord Charles when relating the incl
dent, until 7 began to think that the 9th
er end of the rope was not fastened 20
anything. At last grasped my man. the
rope became taut. and 1 began 20 ascend.
The ships corporal helped Us both out"
Fifteen years afterwards Lord Charles
was speaking at a political meeting in
support Of Lord Folkestone's candi6ature.
The hall was packed. and suddenly there
was Z scufffe at the back Chuck him
out,+' cried some ore: but Lord Charles
invited the man 10 come Up 10 flfe plat
form. and they would listen to what he
had TO say. The man struggled forward
in great excitement He only wanted 20
shake hands with his rescusr- He was the
sailor who had been saved By Lord
Charles from the icy sea OF the Faux
land Islands
