South Is Getting Back to Normal.

South Is Getting Back to Normal.
In. the south business tends to get back
to- normal. Moderate improvement is
noted in jobbing lines While there is
much better feeling as to the future, con-
servatism is still very noticeable
If the improvement in business con-
tinues to progress, railway earnings are
bound to reflect the advance That is
just what the country wants. for II means
more work and an increase in the spend
ing power Of a goodly portion Of the So
cial fabric
1t will thus be seen that Bradstreet's,
whose eyes are everywhere and which re-
ceives daily reports from agents at every
business center. Is confident of advances
and improvements in all parts of the
country. but does not encourage a boom.
The same attitude is assumed by the
leading fnanciers in this city.
Most of the prominent labor leaders are
out of town and 7 have not been able to
obtain any expressions of opinion from
that source. but The subordinates at sew
eral labor union headquarters tell me that
nearly all the manufacturing establish
ments. large and small. in this city are
now running on full time and have taken
back al the hands that were laid off last
winter and spring. They say that the
number Of genuine workmen now unem-
ployed among the permanent residents of
this city is very small. and that people
who are now without work are those who
have recently come from the country,
from farms and contract jobs which can
not be carried on in cold weather.

Not So Many Ask Food and Shelter.


The officials ct Salvation Army head
quarters say that the mild weather and
the revival of industry have reduced the
number of applicants for food and shelter
to normal. Although their lodging houses
were overcrOwded last spring and sum-
mer the record for this month will not
be greater tnan for any other November
in the past, even In flush times. Nor do
the Salvation Army people expect more
than the usual demands upon them du: ing
the approaching winter. They think that
the hard times" are over; that all men
who want work will b. ab!e to find it,
and that their patronage from this time
on will be the usual human driftwood
that is floating about all large cities at
this time Of the year.
Several great corporations which went
into the hands of receivers during the
panic have been reorganized and will
soon be doing business through their own
officials again. While the affairs Of these
corporations have been improved by the
cordial cooperation of their creditors,
stockholders and bondholders with the
receivers. the result OF the election made
1t possible to set them on their feet And
the predictions of the republican leaders
are daily justified by the managers and
receivers of these corporations, who in
sist that their rehabilitation could not
have taken place If Bryan had been
elected.

Trades Union People Cheerful.

AAdOSS OAAoA 10VpAS SAScIAuI.
The trades union people are feeling
cheerful and believe that the recovery of
prosperity will be permanent.
The officials of the Charity Organization
Society make most surprising statement.
The police have recently taken a census
Of the unemployed and obtained 1900
names of men who said they were out of
work and would be glad to accept any
kind of employment at living wages. Dur
ing the month of October postal cards
were sent TO every person on the list Of
fering them employment, and only 159 re-
spOnded. This curious situation is ex-
planned in several ways. 1t is probable
that a great many of the 5000 who were
out of work In the spring and summer
have changed their addresses many
doubtless gave fictitious addresses, many
have gone back to- their cd jobs many
more have undoubtedly left the city, while
a certain percentage are tramps and loaf
ers who live on the edge of things and
would not accept regular employment if
1t were provided for them. This explana-
ton Is confirmed by the Association for
the Improvement of the Condition of the
Poor. which took the names OF 5000 men
who stood in the 'bread lines last spring
Cards were sent to every one Offering en-
pioyment during the month of October,
and only 1885 responded. Inquiry among
them brought out the fact that many of
their acquaintance among the unem-
ployed had drifted away from the city
seeking work and had not returned

know their mothers were far from
being the best mothers on earth"
For aside from the selfish and wick
ed women who are ofttimes mothers.
there are thousands or the ignorant
ones who have an idea that to slave
for their children and 10 dress them
better than the children with whom
they associate is all or a mother
duty And SO these children grow UP
accepting the service OF their mothers
as their right, and with minds in
famed with false ambitions, vain pride
and dark jealousy of others.
And all these unworthy emotions
are directly traceable to the wrong
education Ngiven by the mother
through her mistaken idea of what
constitutes true motherhood.
Ii Is in the power of the mother
who realizes her responsibility to
make her child whatever she wishes

This fact Is being understood grad

world are doing great good for future
generations by studying along these
lines and awakening the minds OF mo-
theirs to a consciousness OF their re-
sponsibility

When a healthy man or woman be-
