will have to double the number of
post offices which sbear this name
before he can approach the Cleye-
land post Offices in point of num-
bers. President Cleveland has
more post Offices bearing his name
than any other President. He has
thirty-two in all. In this respect
Mr.. Cleveland is ahead of George
Washington and James Monroe,
and one ahead of Abraham Lin

only ones in the thirty class
There are twenty-five Jeffersons

DISCUSSING PROSPERITY.

The question whether our prosperity
is secure Is Interestingly discussed by
a writer In the Worlds Work for May.
He takes the view that the Indications
are all favorable The bank clearngs,
he says, form one Of the business baro-
meters that can be safely consulted.
During the last fiscal year the clear
Ing house exchanges OF the country
amounted 10 sli6,O2i. SIS, OOS, a gain over
the preceding year OF sl,2Oi, S25, sl7. Al
lowing for the reduction in the volume
Of speculation, there has been a steady
Increase since then.
The railroad earnings form another
such barometer. During the last calen-
dar year. he says railroad earnings
gained ss2OoOOOO. There has been
constant gain since then The February
exports were the largest on record for
that month. as were also the exports
for the three months ending with Feb
ruary. While the excess OF exports for
the seven months Of the fiscal year
was the smallest In seven years, the
gain In the last three months indicates
that the excess for the full fiscal year
viii be nearly as large as last year.
The writer further dwells on the fact
that an immense volume OF business Is
being done, and that II Is not only ac-
tive but sound. There are. hoSever.
some threatening signs One Is the
stringency In the money market. An
other Is the labor disputes. OF which
there have been so many, lately.
AS favorable sign It Is mentioned,
that speculation is beginning to lag. be-
cause there is so much talk about
the danger OF hard times. "A pain
feared is pain averted." and on this
principle u is concluded that our pros
perlty Is safe.
This is o comfortable view OF the sit
uation. At the same lime. as was
pointed at the late conference In
this city. people'wi do well in not ven
turing too far out from the shore.
Summer Is approaching with its amuse-
nents and temptations 10 spend money
In various ways People should be
careful in such things, as well as In
Wild speculations on projects without
solid basis, We can ell do without a
great many things, and put the money
thus saved away for the future. II the
hard times do come. they do not find
us entirely unprepared then. II they do
not come, Il Is all the better. Blu. pros
