pob,rrcs AND PROSPERITY.

The Republicans are talking a great
deal about the prosperity OF the country,
and from the President down are doing
pear that prosperity has come through
the good offices of the Republican party.
We are willing to concede to that party
every good thing that it has done and
it is entitled to the credit of having
maintained the gold standard and of pre-
serving the national credit. This act of
the Republicans had 4 great deal to
do with restoring confidence, and with
restored confidence men of means took
their money out of their strong boxes,
where they had hidden it away during
the period of agitation and scare, and
turned it into the channels of trade and
industry Then commerce resumed her
SWAY, the wheels of industry began to
turn and in a little while the whole coun-
try was busy and prosperous.
But that the Republican party or any
other party has the power to make pros
perity by legislation is absurd II pros
perity w ere a thing to be regulated by
legislation, if the Republican party con-
trolled prosperity, surely that party
would not, during a Presidential cam
paign, permit a setback in business
There has been setback. The country
is not SO prosperous as it was year
ago and the Republicans are worried by
it. But they are powerless to prevent
this reaction.
It is most unfortunate that consid-
cradle number Of people in this country
have an idea that prosperity is a thing
OF government. The Populists believe
that if they could get control of the gov
eminent they could enact such laws as
would make every man rich They con-
tend, and many of them are entirely sin
cere, that if they could make the laws
they would put up the price of agriCui-
tllral products and reduce the cost Of liv-
ing, and give every laborins man good,
easy job ct such wages as We're never
known. The Populists believe that if the
government would only take control of
the transportation lines and telegraph
lines lard trusts and then flood the coun-
try with irredeemable greenbacks the
millennium of prosperity would come.
But whether 1t be the Popuist's theory
or the Republicans theory, or any
other partys theory, that prosper
ity can be made by legislative enactment,
the doctrine is mischievous, and The
Times has for years been preaching
against it. Government is necessary to a
well organized society, and we by no
means depreciate its value. The govern
ment can do in a general way a great
deal Il. promote business. The govern
mnt should see TO it that there is a
fixed standard of value, that public credit
is maintained, that property rights are
protected, and that every man has equal
privileges with every other man in trad
ing and accommodating property. 1t is the
duty of government to pursue the open
door policy at home as we'll as abroad.
1t is the office Of government to open the
way, to see to it that there is no dis
elimination and that no man trespasses
upon the rights OF his neiSEbor. But
success in life is a matter OF individual
effort, and the man who sits down and
waits for the government to help him
make .; fortune will wind up his career
in the governments almshouse.

The hat Of straw
By fashions law
Has passed beyond its season; .
Its shabbiness
AS spart%of dress
Provides sufficient reason.
Way back in spring
Twas just the thing,
Oft winning admirat ton,
For then twas white
And neat and light,
: And loud was appreciation.
When spring had passed
A yellow cast
Its rim and crown We're showing,
But oft twas rubbed
And pressed and scrubbed,
And through the streets kept gong.
The sun and rain
Increased the stain
TO hue of ancient butter,
And oft breeze
Would that hat seize
And roll 1t in the gutter.
The once stiff crown
1t battered down,
The once stiff rim is f1abby;
The band once gay
Is in decay
In short, the hat is shabby.
No more in style,
The old straw tile
Must now be relesated
To final rest,
Where none can lest
At hat SO antiquated.
