Would Welcome Disaster.

There is not a single business, so
far as known, which is not prosper
Gus. There is not an idle workman
anywhere who is not idle from choice.
There are no closed factories and none
in imineut danger OF closing. There
is not a railroad which does not find
its freight cars too few to accommo-
date the overcrowding traffic. There
is not single discouraging sign any
where. Our prosperity is stable and
will oe lasting. because it rests on Il
solid foundation It has its origin in
our present system of giving protec-
ton to American industries against
th,. assaults of foreign manufacturers
who employ the low priced labor of
ineir own countries. 1t will take more
than Wall street speculation to disturb
either the protective taritf or our pros
perity. And the man who sees signs
OF a crash is a vic+im OF a disordered
imagination and OF hopeless pessi-
mism. Either that. or else he predicts
the thing which he hopes to see. There
are men who would gladly see pros
perity disappear if they could in con-
sequence thereof see IsepublicanisII

Coal Famine.

Indications point to coal famine
in oar city in the next few weeks. un-
less the railroad companies can In
some way find means TO furnish ears
to the mine operators for the trans
portation of the same.
The several coal dealers in the city
are complaining because they have TO
refuse orders. and cannot begin to
supply their trade. They say the rea-
son is that the railroad companies
will not or cannot supply cars for
hauling, and are buying all the coal
they can get hold OF and storing it for
their own use.
Coal has already advanced in price
considerably ard a dealer told Com
mercial reporter that IN the course ol
the next ten days the product would IN
all probability go to 3 per ton.-

An Expert on Beer.

A man who claims to be an expert
Judge of beer got his leg pulled the
other day. He boasted that he could
tell Cape beer from st. Louis beer.
and bartender wagered him the
drinks that he could not tell one brew
from the other. Two glasses of beer
were drawn from two different kegs OF
Cape beer. The expert stuck his nose
to one glass and said: That is Cape
beer. | can tell it by the smell. .
Then he drank the other beer and pro-
nounced it st. Louis beer. Then the
bartender opened the ice box and
showed the expert that he had nothing
on tap but Cape beer. What fools we
mortals be.
