HARD TIMES AHEAD.


Prosperity is returning slowly, not
withstanding the boom talk of the
drummer who wants to secure orders
and the newspaper man who believes
in the good effect of confidence.
These are good so far as they go, but
when matched up against bad con-
ditions that have the governing
weight, they are delusion and a
snare.
It has been a very trying winter
for the laboring classes everywhere,
and especially in the eastern states.
Grim want stares many thousands in
the face, and those who have money
to invest are troubled to know what
to put it into where it will be safe
and be earning something. Many
people are so situated that their
bread and butter depends on the dis
erection they exercise in keeping a
little money invested or loaned, and
many of these people have had their
attention directed to western lands
Idaho is receiving much benefit from
this source, and while the hard times
in the east make actual want, those
who have some means to invest may
send their money here to be invested,
thus making it worse there and cas-
Ter for Idaho.
People should not deceive each
other as to the prospects ahead, nor
live in hopes of boom when we have
a good prospect Of a lull. People
who habitually live beyond their
means would do we'll to study econ
omy now, and perhaps save them
selves from actual want or suffering
If things go from bad to worse. Those
who contemplate buying automobiles
and airships on the installment plan,
and going to all the evening enter
tainments to be amused, might do
well to consult their grocer to see if
his bills have been paid, and in a
general way get down to things neces-
sary and practical.
Reports from all over the west in
dictate that the supply of snow in the
mountains is not what it usually is,
that spring is starting off with cold
windy weather and no showers, and
these conditions If continued will do
immense damage to dry farm crops
and may extend to irrigated tracts to
reduce the yield in the way of frosts
and lack of proper irrigation. The
is in rather bad way at |
the beginning of the year, and a |
crop shortage and possible dull mar
kets coupled with a shrinkage in the
prices of wool, lead and copper will |
weigh heavily upon the people of the
west; so heavily that we shall have
10 wear our old coats and darn our
Did stockings and possibly look after
sales with re-doubled inter-
ssts next fall. The prudent man will
,e chary of excursions and other
sources of expense that might not
'e necessary to life and the compile
ion of the childrens education, and
viz advise his sons that a dollar
AIKEN care of is as good as a dollar

I'D coat and wears 1t may be just as
appy and twice as honorable as the

An cxaination Of tie weeks ex-
changes shows that very few candi-
dates for the Legislature have vet an
nounced themselves. In this county
only one announcement has been pub
lisfcd while twenty candidates for
other Offices have their cards in this
weeks issue. The reason is not hard
to find. 1t requires the sacrifice of
so much time to make campaign
and to serve for even two sessions
that few men feel that they can af-
ford to undertake it. Yet it is very
Important to the county as well as to
the State at large that good men be
sent. Why would it not be worth
while for citizens who have some in
tcrcst in good government to confer
and after picking out acceptable men
go to them and induce them to make
the race? Many men would feel in
rlncd to serve in response to such
Il request who would not care to press
their candidacy without an indica-
ton as to whether they might be
wanted or not.-Bcaufort Gazette.
1t is Il fact that in most counties
there are very few candidates as vet

season is yet young and there is plenty
of time and we have no doubt there
Will be plenty from whom to chose.
II IS an important Office and one Of
great responsibility and to the mem
bcr who does his duty one of much

might have been. Because Il candidate
gets up in the county campaign and
prorlalmS that he is for this and that
measure and against some others
should not be the measure Of his ft-
ness. II is alright for him to state
his position on questions that will
come up but he should have the
qualifications to deal with those uucs-
tlons when they do arise. IF he has

much the better.

THE INCOME OF TRINITY.
Derives Revenue From Disgraceful and
 Unhealthy Tenements.

Charles Edward Russell in July Every-
 body's.
 Trinity church is the holder of one of the greatest estates in New York or In the country. It owns In the city property worth, according to different estimators, from $39, 900 to $10O,0O0,o00 from which 1t draws an enormous revenue, the amounf of which is never made public. For many years no investigator has been able to obtain any more definite Knowledge of these matters than that this is the wealth of Trinity which she holds for good pur- poses How comes it that on the East Side of New York have been built in re- cent years bright clean. flreproof, and sanitary flats, in such numbers that cer- tain regions have been transformed by them, and life for those that dwell in them has been changed from direst mis- ery to something almost suggestive of de- cency,l while Trinity has done nothing of the kind?
 How comes 1t that the Astor estate, owner of hundreds of tenements. has pursued for years one settled policy of improvement for the benefit of the ten ants, and the Trinity tenants have been left to shift for themselves. The Astor estate maintains no charities; 1t has no missions. no hospitals, no beds and no Sunday school excursions; yet I am per- fectly certain that the balance of actual good in the world is in it's favor; l am perfectly certain that to obliterate one court that breeds tuberculosis Is better than to spend $70,0O0 a year on organ music, and that to provide tenement with fire escapes is better than to preach a sermon of remote and genteel theology. The management of the Astor tenements indicates what even a small measure of civilization can do in the midst of bar barous conditions; the management of the Trinity tenements shows what callous neglect can do to further and aggravate barbarous conditions.
 To be sure, all tenement houses are bad. I know that all tenement houses are terrific indictments of the conditions of grab and gain and splendor and shame that we tolerate.
 And if the tenement, speaking general ly, works i'll, Trinity'ss tenements must be a matter of grave concern to us all, Trinity's tenements must work more than common III, for they are the worst tene- ments in New York.
