Chances Galore for the Boy.

The boy Of today has little to fear that
the field is becoming overcrowded In our
own country. 1t is just being opened. 1t
is for the young men who are just begin
ming to think what wonderful world this
is, to study well the achievements Of the
past and to see in what manner they are to
be improved. Never did the world call more
loudly, more insistenty for young men
with force. energy and purpose-young
men trained to do some one thing-than to-
day. And every year that cry grows louder,
more insistent. But the times demand men
of large, liberal. energetic minds, and the
man who insists on doing business in the
old-fashioned, humdrum way is as much
behind the procession as is the man who
insists on travelling with an OK team in
stead of by railway.

TO STUDY AMERICAN METHODS

About the middle of this month there
will arrive in the United States com
missiOners from China charged by their
government with the duty OF studying
American political, military, naval, edu-
cational and industrial methods. 1t is
announced that on the arrival of the
commissioners and their attendants at
San Francisco they will be accorded all
the courtesies usually bestowed upon
visiting diplomatists charged with spe-
cial missions. the State department hay
ing arranged TO instruct the customs
officers accordingly. II would seem that
no such arrangement should be neces-
sary, that the officials being informed

The new year opens without any Sc
rious difficulty between capital and
labor. with the single exception of the
conflict between the job printers and
employers over the question Of an eight
hour day. and this is not matter which
will have general influence upon in

milton OF the union. is still to he settled
but there is reason to believe that the
conference to be held few days hence
will result in an understanding which
will avert a conflict. There was appre-
hension of trouble with the New York
building trades unions that might have
extended throughout the country, but
an arrangement has been effected which
assures q prosecution of all building
work In the metropolis during the com

peace between the employers and work;
ers in those trades. This in itself is a
most gratifying situation, for there is a
great amount Of building work through.
out the country to be finished up in the
present year and its orderly continuance
will contribute enormously to the gen
eral welfare.
The fact appears to he that the work
ing classes in the United States are very
generally well satisfied with existing
conditions There ia every reason why
they should be- Compared with the
wage earners of any other country, the
working men of this land are greatly
for all who want to work and the av-
erage of wages is high. 1t Is true that
we have people who are in poor circum-
stances. That is largely their own fault.
Waste and improvidence are responsible
for their condition, not lack of oppor-
tunity to earn sufficient subsistence.
1t is different in England, where hun
dreds of thousands Of people are desti-
tute because they have been unable to
secure employment There Is very
marked contrast between conditions
there and here and it is a contrast which
ought to receive the thoughtful attention
of American workingmen, especially in
regard to the testimony it bears to the
! superior merit of the American policy
which promotes the interests Of our in.
dustries and labor.
1t is very much to be hoped that the
existing friendly relations between cap.
! ital and labor will be maintained and
that the present year will witness nc
conflicts to unsettle and disturb the cur
rent of Industrial affairs. The outlook
for national progress and prosperity was
never more favorable than ii is at this
time. Everything that is conducive tc
advancement we have in rich abundance
| With industrial peace, allowing the full
employment Of all the working power OF
our people, the record Of the present
year should surpass in achievement any
year OF the past.

A YEARS INTERPRETATIONS

The charters taken out last year in
OF the New York Journal Of Commerce.
represented a total capitalization of over
two billions of dollars. This is very
much ahead of last year and is very
striking evidence of the country's pros
perity. What it shows is that there is
still an enormous amount OF capital in
the country seeking investment and
which is ready TO go into enterprises
that give a reasonable assurance of be-
coming profitable. The statistics re-
ferred to are for the eastern states and
need to be increased at least one-third
and perhaps more in order to cover the
entire country.
1t il not an exaggeration, therefore,
to say that the charters taken out last
year for the whole country represent
n total capitalization Of not less than
three billions of dollars. That is an
amount of money which the average
mind will find it difficult TO comprehend.
1t completely dwarfs the national debt
and when 1t is considered that this enor-
nous investment was made In single
year the fact appears almost incred-
ible. What 1t means is not only a vast
addition to the financial energy of the
country but also a great enlargement
OF the opportunities for the employment
OF labor. In word, it is an increase
in the working force and the productive
power OF the nation which 1t would not
be easy to overestimate. 1t Is scarcely
necessary to say that the record has not
been equalled in any other country and
that at least in this respect the United
States is very decidedly in the lead.

Cleveland Leader.
The president has q desperately difficult
struggle on hand. He must needs rely
upon the power of aroused public senti-
ment to overcome the forces at the service
of the railroads and their allies. 1t is
necessary that he should bring all his gem

hind him and crush the opposition under
the weight OF public opinion.
In the eye OF the world the Standard oil
company is the type and incarnation of ag-

monopoly. 1t stands for the full fruition OF
all the injustice-the secret rebates the
more open favoritism and the corrupt and
evil undermining of honest mems business
interests-charged against the great COM

vulnerable because II is extremely I'M

offenses against law and justice.

Extraordinary CreduIity.
San Francisco Chronicle.

We are accustomed TO regard the age OF
superstition as past, and with its passing
we assume that the credulity which is its
necessary accompaniment has been re-
duced to a minimum. The extraordinary
experience of the shopkeepers OF Provl-
dence. r. l.. however. forbids us to felici-
tate ourselves on this score. Six weeks
ago some one connected with a troupe OF
entertainers prophesied that between De
cember 18th and cath there would be a boiler
explosion in one of the Providence depart
ment stores. The story spread like wildfire
and the result was the paralyzation OF the
holiday business OF the big shops. II seems
preposterous that people should be so easily
misled. but the fact remains that they can
be, and the less We say about the super
