WHAT AMERICA NEEDS.

The following editorial from re-
cent issue OF the Wall Street Jour
nal, is somewhat remarkable, ap-
pearing in a purely financial paper,
and is certainly worthy of serious
consideration:
What America needs more than
railway extension and western irri-
cation, and low tariff, apd bigger
wheat crop, and merchant ma
chine, and a new navy Is revival
of piety, the kind mother and fa-
Their used to have-piety that coun-
ted it good business to stop for daily
family prayer before breakfast,
right in the middle of harvest; that
quit field work a half hour early
Thursday night, so as to get the
chores done and go to prayer meet
ing; that borrowed money to pay
the preachers salary and prayed
fervently in secret for the salvation
of the rich man who looked with
scorn on such unbusiness-like be-
havior That's what we need now to
clean this country of the filth of
graft, and of greed, petty and big;
of worship of fine houses and big
lands and high office and grand So
cial functions. What is this thing
we are worshipping but vain repe-
tition of what decayed nations fell
down and worshipped just before
their light went out? Read the his
tory of Rome in decay and you will
find luxury there that could lay a
big dollar over our little doughnut
that looks so large to us. Great
wealth never made a nation sub
stantial nor honorable. There is
nothing on earth that looks good
that is so dangerous for a man or
nation to handle as quick, easy, big
money. If you resist its deadly
influences the chances are that 1t
will get your son. 1t takes greater
and finer heroism to dare, to be poor
IN America than to capture a bat
terry in Manchuria."

Small Necked New Workers,

Statistics furnished by mahufactur-
ers of shirts and collars indicate that
the average New York man has a
smaller neck than his out Of town
brother. Comparison Of orders shows
that out of given volume OF business
booked Boston and Chicago led in the
matter of big sizes. Inquiry at sew
eral haberdashery shops in Manhattan
resulted in the Information that any
number larger than sixteen and half
would have TO be specially called for
from the factory or had through The
selling agent. In other cities it is an
everyday experience to sell as high
as size eighteen over the retail coun-
ter. OF course the element of snug
fit is factor, but as regular propo-
siton eastern and western men are
more "bull necked' than Is the case
with their New York brethren-N New

AN OLD TIME ASCENT.
London's First Balloon and the Great
Excitement It Raised.

Tremendous excitement was caused
when London's first balloon went up.
The balloon, manned by young Ital-
Ian named Vincent Lunardi. assembled
from Moorfields, then an open space of
ground. on Sept Il, 1874. In the pres
ence of more than 100000 spectators.
All business was suspended the king
himself setting the example by ad-
journing a cabinet council that hap
pened to be sitting. Vast crowds fol-
lowed the balloons course. some on
horseback, in carts, in chalses. but
mostly on foot. The Great North road,
above which the aeronaut sailed for
some distance. was a roaring river Of
humanity
Many We're hurt in the crush, but
the only fatality recorded was the
death from fright of an old country
! woman. who. coming out of her cot
tage to see what the excitement was
about behcld the balloon Just above
/ her head. On the other hand, LunarGi
undoubtedly saved one mans life. a
! jury bringing in verdict of not guilty
on notorious highwayman IN order
that they, the prisoner and the judge
who was trying the case might rush
| out of court to see the balloon
The aeroaaUts descended eventually
! near Ware. in HertfordShire. where his
| sudden drop from the clouds was the
! cause of more establishment and eX-
element. Many of the spectators
| swooned with fear, while others urged
| the putting of Lunardi TO death there
and then on the ground that he must

PARTIES AND PANICS.

Mr.. Bryan uttered monumental
truth recently at Lafayette, Ind,
when he said that if the democrats
had been in power during the recent
financial panic they would have been
charged with full responsibility for
it.
One of the fundamentals of the
republican faith appears to be the
belief, or at least the contention,
that all prosperity is republican and
all adversely is democratic. This is
maintained with some pretense of
| sincerity, in spite of the fact that
panics have arisen under republican
as well as democratic administra-
| tons.
The most remarkable thing about
! political aspects of these financial
| disturbances is the fact that demo
cratic bond issues in time of peace
to fortify the treasury with gold
were fiercly assaulted by many repub-
licans and nearly all democrats,
whereas republican bond issues now
designed chiefly to fortify the ma
tional banks with plenty of curren-
cy that may be profitably loaned,
are everywhere applauded.
There was an attempt in official
circles to convey the idea that the
new bonds were to go into the hands
of the "people'-that is, the small
hoarders, but the result has been
that all of them have lodged higher
up in the financial scale.
Politics and finance do not make
good yoke-fellows, and if there are
brains and patriotism enough in
| congress to supply a comparatively
small demand, action of some kind
| will be taken promptly enough to
| head off another prolonged agita-
| ton of the money question and at
! the same time relieve the country
, of the scandalus spectacle presented
/ by the secretary of the treasury
| dancing attendance upon Wall
street.-St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

the passenger fares on Texas rail-
roads there are two sides, and both
backed by good argument. Railroads
traversing the thickly settled sec
lions of the state might well afford
to submit to a 2-cent fare, but much
of Texas is sparsely settled and 2
cent fare would be heavy burden

ways, and at the same time the best
