ESSENTIAL REQUISITES.

The general business situation is
very promising. Henry Clews says:
From the, west glowing accounts are
received of trade prospects, as a re-
suit of the big corn crop. In the east
expectations are more moderate and
strikes have exercised a deterrent eff
feet. The south is promised a slight
ly better trade than last year, where
the shortage in cotton and corn did
harm. Railroad earnings and clear
ing house returns both continue to
demonstrate the country's great ac-
tivities; and SO far there are few
signs, if any, of production having
outrun consumption, such as are us
ually the first warnings of economic
reaction. If prudence and moderation
can only have their proper sway un-
interrupted, there is no telling how
long the present era of prosperity
will continue. But both of these quail
tiles are eminently necessary in these
times.

left in this country that now teach
children what President Andrews
says they ought not to be taught.
DR.. Andrews theory is that the
mind of the child should never be
wearied by an eternal ding dong of
religious training: that the child's
heart should not lie terrified by a
mental picture Ct IN avenging God;
that the child's soul should not be
forced and bound by a set CT creeds;
that the child's sensibilities should not
be set in revolt by the use Of religion
as a punishment; and this theory is
entirely in consonance with the prac-
tice of most churches, Sunday schools
and Christian parents today.

A PURELY FAMILY AFFAIR.

st. Paul Dispatch: This little dis
agreement about reducing tariffs is
solely a republican family affair. The
democrats, opportunists always, are
trying to cut in, thinking they e a
chance fer them, but they lost their
chance in 1896 to come into the game,
and notice should be served on them
and the same is hereby served
that they must keep over in their anti
imperialistic, anti-sound-money, anti
any-old-thing compound and let us
fight it out. We built the tariff struc-
ture, and we know how to take 1t
down.
Memories are slippery, and events
pile on them thickly. Were it not so
distant we might recall the movement
Of 1872 in which Allison and Sher-
man and Garfield urged tariff reduc-
ton to a revenue basis and talked
quite severely about the wrongs OF a
tariff abused by it's b~eneficaries. Thir
ty years is a long ways back, and
we have done some things very diff.
ferent from reducing since, but enc
need only recall the talk in the asso
citation of manufacturers at Detroit
"a year ago in June; their demand
that protection be limited to indus
tries that could show good title te
it, to get near the beginnings of the
movement. Then came the agile Bah
cock with his exposition of home and

TWO CHARGED WITH MURDER.
Admit the Killings but Say 1t Was
Accidental.

Kemmerer, Wyo., Aug. 26.--The
body CT a man found on Willow creek
a few days ago a been identified
as that of George D. Norton, who, the
authorities believe, was murdered. -.
w. Jones and Frank Hutchinson have
been arrested, charged with the crime.
The men confess that Norton was kill
ed by a bullet from a gun held by
Jones, but that the shooting was &C
cidental. The men tell the following
story:
While they were in camp with Nor
ton a discussion arose and Jones and
Hutchinson charge that Norton jump
ed up and grabbed a rifle that stood
against the wagon. With this he
struck Jones over the head and then
slipped a shell into the barrel. Jones
grabbed the gun and in the struggle
that followed it was discharged, the
bullet entering the top of Norton's
head, causing instant death.
The authorities say that it would
have been next to impossible to have
killed Norton in the manner describ-
ed by the two men, whose story, it is
alleged, does not correspond with the
details Of the killing.

The weak kneed republicans, if

been misled by the swaggef of the
democrats and their claims Of sweep

fall elections should take new cour-
age and fight on. The democrats have
so far receeded from their position Of
claiming everything that they now
admit that they have no show to car
ry Maine and that Vermont is ex

for in other states is to cut down the
republican majorities they have been

NEELY's HARvEYIzED NERVE.

Chicago ,Record-Herald: Mr.. Rath-
bone, who came home from Cuba a
few months ago loudly declaring that
he would not rest until he was vim
dictated, seems to have quieted down.
Mr.. C. W.. F. Nicely is, however, to
let the public know that there is as
little shame as honesty in him. Nicely
was convicted Of stealing postal 0
ey- at Havana, and should 10Y be
serving a term in prison for it, but
through the generosity of the Cuban
government he was permitted to go
free.
At the time of his arrest he had in
his possession funds amounting to &c.
234. The money, a part OF what he
had stolen, was taken from him and
put in possession of the secretary of
war. The latter sent it to Cuba, at
the time CT Neely's trial. to be used AS
evidence. 1t was then returned to
the war department, where it remains,
as nobody seems toe know just what
disposition should be made of it. Now
comes Nicely, the convicted fraud and
thief, and applies to the attorney gen
eral to- be reimbursed for this money
money thatsh had stolen and which
formed a part Of the evidence on
which he was sentenced to serve a
term in prison. y
The brazen impudence Of this man
would be a fine thing for armoring
war ships, if it could be extracted and
hammered into proper shape. The
most effective projectiles would fall
from it as pebbles from q brick wall.
1t is too bad that the attorney general
does not employ a good. vigorous
bouneer with a boot of about, two tons
displacement who might operate on
Nicely when he again applies for "his'
money.

VERY LIKE A FIZZLE.

For a thing that promised so much
at the outset, the case Of Peter Pow
err against the railroad merger seems
destined to end in a tizzle.
When instituted the public had every
reason for believing that Power was
in earnest and also for expecting
something would come out Of the
thing, but failure is written upon ev-
cry phase of the suit. First Power
appeared anxious and eager to push
the matter to the limit. Then he
assumed the role of a process dodger,
SO as not to be compelled to testify.
Next he is adjudged guilty of con
tempt and leaves the country to- es-
cape a Jail sentence, but finally re-
turns and is ~incarcerated. His at
torney, who had been throwing out
hints that others than Power were
behind the prosecution, tells what
he could tell in the way of names,
were he inclined to do so. Those who
considered that he referred to them
promptly come into court with dis
chalmers of any connection with the
case. This causes him to talk and
he tells who some Of his mysterious
clients are. Among others named is
the great Burke Cochran, the gentle
man whom a Montana statesman was
anxious to see nominated for the vice
presidency some years ago. Mr..
Cochran promptly declares the law
yer to be another and in purest of
Tammany English denies that he, is
in any way connected with the suit,
either as plaintiff or defendant. The
others are still to be heard from, but
no matter what they may have to
say or admit, the people have grown
tired of the whole mess and as far as
being an attraction is concerned it
is dead and no longer can hold the
crowd. r
