Council Meeiins.

At the regular session Of the coun-

placing light at the corner of Adams

mittee on lights.
William Holland the nurseryman

The electric light committee was
ordered to examine and report as to
the necessity of placing a public light
at the corner Of Earl and Sophia

part Of the city.
Citizens residing near the Vandalia
House reported that Notwithstanding
the quarantine, visitors came and

People Nshina for Relief.

There is an impression in some
quarters that red hot campaign is
ION" in Ohio. This appears to be an
error. Politicians are trying hard to
work up the voters to a pitch Of ex-
element, but they are making very
little progress IN that direction, Spec
tacular features are no longer a
novelty, barbecues seem to have lost
favor, whirlwind campaigning has lost
force, and common sense ideas appear
to be asserting themselves more and
more. Ohio has too much politics to
the square foot. The people are sigh
ing Cor relief. A campaign every year
is too much for them.-South Bend

Where Prosperity Hasn't Struck In.

Ever since 1897 this nation, on the
surface, has proSpered as never before.
Farmers have found eager markets at
profitable prices. Capitalists have add
ed to their wealth. Labor mas been
able to use, as never before, the power
Of organization to Iaise wages.
Yet it may be doubted if one-half
the heads of American families are in
as favorable position as they were in
1897. The third party-the majority
who are neither capitalists nor able to
fortify themselves behind labor union
wallS--is today giving more proper
tionately than in 1897, while getting
only the same.
When capitalists combine to raise
prices, reduce expenses, or anticipate
profits, it is this third party that pays
the higher prices, stands the reduc-
tion of expenses and converts the an
ticipated profits into actual ones,
Every flotation of corporation secur-
tiles depends for its ultimate success
upon the ability Of men of moderate
incomes to buy and hold the securi-
ties. The burden of every advance in
wages secured by organized labor is
ultimately shifted upon the inorganic
ed third party.
The plain truth is that fully one
half the workers of the United States
the men whose incomes are from
5000 to 50, 900 year. the men who
are neither in trusts nor labor unions.
have not been getting their share of
the national prosperity. They are
working for the prosperity of capital
and organized labor, but no one is
working for them. And under this
burden they are becoming exhausted.
The steadily declining prices of
practically all securities are primarily
due to the fact that this third party,
or middle class, is unable to save as it
was few years ago.
What the American people need to
learn is that prosperity cannot be
made permanent by artificial organi-
cations of any kindly neither trusts
nor labor which leave out of
consideration the majority Of the peo-
pie.
And IL capital and organized labor
will not consider the interests OF the
third party, then it is high tine for
the average men to force Soeir inter-
ests upon the notice OF the public.
For. after all. they are the majority.
They can, If they will, make the laws
upon which both capital and organic
ed labor depend for safety.--Inter

are still tangled up with the notion
that the South is 1.-THE poor relation u
of the remainder of the Union they
simply need the physic OF few large
and luminous facts.
Our cotton crop once was looked up
on as the absolutely indispensable
means Of our bread and meat, our
boots and breeches indeed. all the ne
cesSaries of our daily life. Some people
are still toting that notion along in
their rummage sacks. But the fact is
that il our entire cotton crop were to
fail, we have any year other resources
and industries to be exploited, that we
did not have generation ago, and
that would employ. feed. house, clothe
and enrich our people. In the indiv-
idual account the farmer may make
his cotton mean everything; but in the
general business account it could be
lost. but that loss, while heavily felt,
would not put the South to tramping
and begging On the big roads.
Last year the exports from our
S,uthsrn ports increased IA over the
year before. For the same period the
exports for Northern seaboard cities
increased only 80 which is three
tenths of 1 per cenLum. Nearly 40
per cent Of the export trade OF the
country goes now through Southern
ports-the other so per cent. going
through north Atlantic and Pacific
ports. But give us the isthmian canal
and our southern ports will drain the
exports from Ohio to the Rocky
Mountains.
1t has not been so many years ago
since man asked to invest in south
ern railway would shy around the
proposition like Mark Twain's cat,
once blown up in blast, forever after
wards avoided even a common post
hole. But the earnings Of the South
ern Railway, for instance, have in
creased 155 per cent, per annum In
the past nine years.
Last year the southern cotton mills.
for the first time in American history,
consumed more of our home crop than
the northern mills. And it is officially
reported that:
''Since Jan. 1, along the lines of the
Southern Railway, twenty-seven new
manufacturing plants have been es-
tablished. including nineteen cotton
mills and eight knitting mills, which
have added to the total equipment
20, ia looms and 727, 1858 splndles.
while there are now under construc-
ton twenty-three other mills which
will have an equipments OF 14,025
looms and 500,3l2 spindles, making
grand total, existing and in sight, of
GAP mills, s5.73s looms and 6,976. 800
splndles."
These are but a few of the items In
