RENTING PROSPERITY.

Notwithstanding the traditional dullness of presidential campaign year there are abundant signs to show that the coming months of this year will witness an almost complete recov- cry from the conditions of industrial depression that have prevailed since last October There are still some localities where the unemployed are confronted with dicsouraging out look, and in certain lines of manufac-
 lures the tide of reviving trade has not yet begun to make itself felt; but on the whole, the situation in all branches of industry exhibit symp- toms of a remarkably strong recovery,
 with a fair assurance of permanent
 progress. The fall buying which is
 now in full swing is characterized by
 conservatism on the part of merchants
 in ordering stocks, but the indica-
 tions are that such strong demand
 will be made by the consumers, es-
 recially the farmers and country peo-
 pie generally, that orders by wire to
 replenish depleted stocks will be the
 rule where hitherto they have been the exception. The farmers, who consti- tute the bedrock of business activity, will have more money to spend this year than they ordinarily have, and this fact alone will suffice to force in-
 creased movements in the various Hines of trade, and thus restore public confidence in the permanenecy of the new prosperity The farmers of the Southwest have reaped large and pro- fitable harvests and the crop movement
 in the Northwestern country has begun two weeks earlier than usual and on larger scale than was anticipated. This means an unusual flood of orders for merchandise of all kinds, and in
 creased activity all along the line, from the retail merchant 10 the job l.ers and wholesalers. and thence to tbe factories The reOOeninG of idle mills and factories which will follow tbis new impetus to trade will prob- ably furnish employment for a large
 majority if not all, of the workers who lost their places on account of the recession in business last winter and spring. Altogether the outlook is
 more favorable than it has been at arv time since last fall.

 The shock to a certain type of senti mcntaists will be scarcely less than that administered few years ago by ex-Secretary John D. Long when be famous rock to say that among the pilgrim fathers were grafters. drunk ards and worse!
 The emotional patriots survived the shock
 And now shall we say because tEe custom. of celebrating Bunker Hill bat tie has fallen into innocuous desuetude that patriotism is declining?
 Certainly not.
 The custom of celebra ting the Fourth of July in the old way has also largely fallen into disuse
 What a day that in your day.
 It was generally ushered in by an an vii national salute that was heard over in the next township. Red sashc'' blow horses. The out communities came in procession with fife and drums, with long wagonful of girls representing the states and the God dess of Liberty. Lo. the triumpha' march to the grove! When all were hitched and the day wore on, the horses neighed to one another. GIow that neighng lives in memory" The Quar tet sang "A Thousand Years, My Own Columbia" and the Sword Of Bunker Hill" With much felicity of expres- sion and great flourish the Declaration of Independence was religiousiy read And how the orator of the day patriot ically sweated himself, leaving a bare remnant of pinfeathers in the tail of the eagle!
 It was robust and patriotic way to celebrate, and the memory of it lin gers, but
 The times have changed. Eowacays we save ourselves the nerve eXhaGstioH and give over the day to the boy with his firecrackers and sporting events.
 Nor need we sigh and eXcIai1n, 70 tempora! o mores!' and regret the waning of patriotic fervor.
 There is a large residue of patriotic pride in us over that Bunker Hill bat tie, though we have learned it was real ly fought on another hill. We know if was a brave stroke for freedom, even freedom to celebrate or not to cele- brate.
 Nor do we crate as before about the old man in the hall at Philadelphia pulling the rope of Liberty bell (whose echoes went across the sea, etc., until the bell was fairly cracked in giving freedom voice. We have since learned the old bell was cracked before the Fourth.
 Nevertheless
 Down deep in tough American hearts is the old quenchless love of liberty directed into rswer channels, and the old love for the flag We have only changed our ways, not our he.rts.

year ago,

Senator Foraker of Ohio has been run from under cover by Mr. Hearst. Eoraker has never been looked upon by the American people with great fa- vor. because they have doubted his sincerity 10 the rights of the masses. Now they have indisputable evidence of his disloyalty 10 the people and of his fidelity to the special interests. He admits that during his first term in the senate he was on the pay roll of

THE COMING LANGUAGE.

It is an interesting fact that the English language, etymologcally the ployglot residuum of many centuries of conquest and travel, tyranny and freedom, is rapidly becoming the uni versal speech of the world, even sup planting French as the medium of diplomacy. The latter is the presage Of the final triumph of this allcon querinS tongue Only recently the Berlin board of education made the study of English compulsory in the high schools of the German capital, ard Emperor William is said to speak English even better than French, in the use of which he is an expert.
 The present everincreasins vogue of our language is an amusing com mentary on the wisdom of Sir Francis Bacon. who wrote in Latin because he feared his native tongue would not survive the assaults of time. Yet it has recovered from all that Sir Fran cis himself ever did to it and has confounded the prescience of the man who has been thought brilliant enough to have been the real Shakespeare.
 In a scarcely less favorable light is Charles Y of Spain presented. He parceled out the Languages of the world but English was not in the reckoning. nor did it have any stand ing in the huge domain of this zenith emperor of the Spanish. He spoke French in business and court matters Italian to the fair sex, German to h.. horses and Spanish to his God. English was too inconsequential to be learned either by himself or his people, yet it was to be English-speaking nations
 
 and caused his mighty domain to crumble away and Spain to stand to- day like great tree shorn of it's branches.
 English is the logical and inevitable Volapuk and Esperanto of the future, and long before these so-called uni versal languages become more than pathological freaks in the lingual mu- seums of the world English will have become the ubiquitous medium of in- terchange of thought. Human nature is the greatest force in the world, and human nature is allied on the side Of

the Standard Oil company, but says at that time it was not considered dis honest for a lawmaker to he in the employ of a trust. Senator Foraker is mistaken. 1t has never been con- sidered as honorable for a lawmaker tn be the paid attorney of one of the big money combines, organized for earning big dividends by expressing the people.
 Mr. Foraker should have said that it was not known on him several year 5 ago that he was a Standard Oil attor- ney while in the senate, and that the disgrace came recently because it was only recently that he was exposed.
 Foraker is not the only one whose political downfall is the result of ser wing the trusts while wearing the cloak of a servant of the peoole.

MUCH INTEREST BEING
TAKEN IN COMING EVENT,

The anniversary celebration of the
founding of the order of Knights of
Pythias, on Wednesday, Feb. 10th, is
attracting considerable interest and
from present indications will prove a
brilliant social success. The Girls Glee
and Mandolin clubs of the university,
which will render a musical program
preceding the ball, are practicing, dill.
gently and will be heard at their best.
The various lodge committees, too, are
are at work with a will that assures
success. The hall will be beautifully
decorated, exquisite programs provid.
ed, excellent music supplied for the
dancers and the Pythian Sisters will
serve a banquet that will at least equal
any ever given here. The invitations
have been issued and already much
planning on the event is heard among
those thus favored.
