BUSINESS OUTLOOK.

Men In close touch with the Industrial
conditions Of the country predict a
steady Improvement from this time on
ward. James w van Cleave. president
of the National Association of Manu-
facturers In an article in American
Industries, says the tide has turned
and gives some facts sustaining this
opinion, One of these is that the stocks
of goods In the hands of manufacturers
and wholesalers have been reduced to
low figures, and the resumption of pur-
chases, which Is under way in all the
great lines of trade. IS beginning to
send In orders to the factories with a
little Of their old-tIme volume
Another straw that shows the direc-
ton of the wind is this that within
the last few weeks the output of the
mills of the United States Steel corpo-
ration has been Increased ten per cent
over the average of recent months. The
promise is that by the beginning OF
November that largest of the worlds
steel concerns viii be running It's works
to nearly their full capacity
Another notable fact is this that
there are fewer idle locomotives and
| railroad cars than there were u short
time ago. Mr.. Cleave states that when
| the number was at its highest in the
closing days of April, $4,000 cars were
sidetracked throughout the United
States for lack Of work. In the closing
days of July the number had dropped
below the 100000 line The heavy crops,
which in n few weeks will begin TO
move to the markets. are likely to send
the number OF idle cars down to very
small figures before November
This is the view business men gem
orally take of the situation. Prosperity
is returning with the return OF conf
dencc in the common sense of the
American people.

BACK TO THE SOIL.
Pittsburg Post.

About twenty years or SO ago, and
for a number OF years following. there
was a marked exodus of young men
and boys from the country to the city.
The rural youth found there were
many things he could turn his hand
10 in the city that meant to him ready
money. So the farm was deserted for
metropolitan allurements. The reac-
ton has set in. and now there is a
generous return to bucolic life. The
man who has spent a score or more OF
years In a city and has amassed a
competence finds himself yearning for
communion with country scenes. When
this exodus from the farm began, stu
dents Of politico economic subjects
racked their brains for a logical de-
duction as to the probable result.
Time has brought the solution, The
cities were. In the main, builded by
men who were born in the country
who began life on the farm or In the
crossroads grocery These. particu-
larry. are the men who are now going
back 10 the farm. Not for the pur-
pose Of farming themselves, but to
have country home, away from the
din and dirt of the city, The electric
railway the development and extern
sion OF the telephone service, the
rural free delivery, and other things
that have convenienced living away
from the business centers, are respon-
sible, The return Of the city man TO
the country has enhanced the price OF
farm property and materially added to
the tax duplicate. Back TO the soil,
It's a good old slogan.

SUNDAY LABOR.

a correspondent asks rs there a
state law against labor on tho Sabbath
day, such as cutting and hauling hay
hauling wood, building, and playing
ball?"
According TO the laws Of Utah, every
person who performs any unnecessary
labor. or docs any unnecessary business
on Sunday rs guilty OF a misdemeanor
and is liable to be fined in any sum not
exceeding $500
This covers the ground, as to un-
necessary labor on Sunday Ball play
ing is not specifically forbidden. unlcss
It comes under the class OF noisy
amusements' The law as to such
amusemonts Is; Every person who. on
Sunday, gets up, exhibits. opens or
maintains, on aids in getting up, exhib-
iting, opening or maintaining
any barbarons or noisy amusement
is guilty of a msdemeanor."
There is law enough to stop the per-
Torrance Of Unnecessary Sunday labor
and Sunday amusements in this state.
but no laws are more frequently VIC
lated. In Salt Lake the sight of work
ingmen employed by the city working
IN the streets on Sundays. is no un-
common sight. This Is a violation of
the law. 1t is also contrary to the
spirit Of the Pioneers. They consc-
Grated this land to God, and to His
service. The members of the Church
should therefore remember the Sabbath
uay To keep it holy, no matter what
others may do.

VENEZUELA.

If Holland has no other grievance
against Venezuela than the alleged
expulsion OF the Dutch minister NJ.

cording to the Information received
at Washington of that affair, the gov
eminent OF Venezuela sent passports

letter written by him in Bulletin
Commercial Association of Amsterdam,
severely criuci2ing commercial and

A STRIKE.
Boston TRANSCRIPT.

That Paris strike struck out. The
law Is stronger than the Confederation
of Labor and the human instinct to
avoid trouble is stronger than either.
The plan was that ali Paris should be
paralyzed for twenty-four hours, that
there should be neither locomotlon nor
business, but trains and all convey
ances were operated as usual, while
bakers baked, cooks cooked and eaters
ate, Just as II there was no such thing
as the Confederation in existence. The
collapse of the strike recalls Il similar
effort to paralyZe Louis Napoleon at
the time of the coup d'etat. At a
conference of the Republican deputies
1t was proposed that there should be
complete cessation of all labor. A
fervid orator said; Let the butcher
cease to slay: the baker cease to bake;
the tradesman cease TO sell for forty
eight hours, and the buyer cease to
buy, and the tyrant will be blocked"
A dry old country deputy proposed an
amendment that for forty-eight hours
everybody cease TO eat. and the pro-
gram vanished in laughter
