UNREST AND BUSINESS.

The Financial Chronicle of Sept. 1G
contains an interesting article on the
effect upon business of the prevail
ing unrest of the people in relation to
economic and political questions, and
particularly to the effect of the re-
sponse of the government to popular
clamor.
1t probably is wrong to attribute,
as the author of the article in ques-
tion does, the prevalent depression in
the main to the treatment to which
the railroads have been subjected.
Were depression seen only in one or
two localities, the situation might be
attributed to defective means of
transportation due to the harass-
ments of unwise interference with
railroad management. But the de-
preston is widespread. 1t affects
every part of the country, and one is
bound to conclude that it is not alone
the railroads which have been injured
by the prevalent spirit Of unrest.
Neither can it be said that the preva-
lent depression is chiefly result of
that which is seen in railroad inter-
ests. Ordinarily one would say that

Another way to advertise was in
vented by Mr.. Cavanagh of Portland,
Conn. Mr.. Cavanagh owns ten yoke
of oxen himself and by borrowing
from his neighbors managed to col
lect forty-eight yoke, or ninety-six
oxen altogether. With these attach
ed to a gayly decorated OK cart he
made the trip, covering the distance of
about twenty miles in five hours.
The services of twelve drivers were
needed to guide the animals on the
road. The line of cattle stretched for
more than quarter of mile along
the road, and it took them five min
utes to pass a given point. On his
arrival at the fair grounds Cavanagh
found that he and his cattle attract
ed more attention than any other ex.
hibit on the grounds.

Here is a lesson for nagging wives
A Nebraska paper tells that Frank
Malone, a timer, came home from
work the other night with the dirtiest
face. His wife fused about his face
being so dirty, and tried to coax hin
to wash it. He said he was too tireG
to wash his face. She kept at him
saying, mo gentleman would come be
fore his wife with such dirty face.
AT last Frank Malone's patience gave
out, and he said to his wife, "Yot
wash my face" She Indignantly re
fused, and Frank Malone fell upon her
and nearly beat her to death.

of beauty and joy to the eyesight.
The color scheme was orange and
brown, the back and sides of the ma
chine being covered by lattice work
of strips that were so woven as to
resemble leather, the illusion being as
sisted by the use of an occasional

a graceful touch to the whole. In

in from Bocea last night to fix up
the float which attracted so much at
tention in the parade this morning.
So far as we know nothing of the kind
has ever been attempted in a Du-

exhibit of fruit and vegetables--all
products of the ranch at Bocea, rails
ed by Charles Pearson and son. Even
the decorations were home grown, be-
ing asparagus vine. The display was
beautifully arranged and was remark
able for the variety of fruit and vege-

the low state of railway interests re-
fleets the depressed condition of bust
ness in general.
The trouble is everywhere. All over
the country there is tearing down
spirit manifest. 1t is largely a re-
suit of political agitation. But in no
small degree the politicians have taken
advantage Of an agitation caused by
the propagation and cultivation in the
public mind of the notion that the rich
men of the country-particularly
those connected with the trusts-are
thieves. From thinking that the mil
lionaires are thieves, people in less
wealthy classes reach the conclusion
that something was stolen from them.
Were they to take an inventory of
their possessions they would find moth
ing missing. But, convinced that at
some time and in some way-both un-
known-they were robbed, they de-
mand reprisals. Instead of working
quietly in the old way to improve
their condition and by economy and in
dustry to accumulate, they turn their
attention to tearing down what 9TH
ers have accumulated.
Finding public sentiment in this
condition certain alleged statesmen
took advantage of it to play the role
of great moral reformers. They de-
manded the punishment of "malefac-
tors of great wealth." and whenever
an opportunity presented to make an
impression, there was loud proclama-
ton of an intention to enforce the law
against the rich men who were said
to have taken advantage of the people.
1t is true that very little was really
ever done; but there was great show
| of devotion to the interests of the
common people and Of determination
to punish certain prominent leaders
in finance and industry. Naturally, by
this "bull-in-a- china shop" statesman
ship, sort of French-Revolution spir-
it was produced. Many people were
strengthened in the belief that they
actually had been robbed and also
in the determination that some of
the rich men should suffer for it.
1t is not strange that in every class
men have become discouraged. No
man will give close attention to bust
ness when everything is in turmoil.
Everybody becomes timid. Nobody is
willing to venture This is so now,
because the agitation begun several
years ago continues. Some of the
prosecutions instituted at that time
have only recently been decided. There
| is also the menace of the Democrats,
the Populist and the insurgent Re-
publicans, all trying to gain popular
applause by assailing the great lead
ers in the world of business. Conse-
quently everyone is in state Of un-
rest. No one knows what the future
will bring forth. Thousands have
grown weary of the continual jangle
and wrangle and clamor, and are dis
heartened. 1t is no wonder that bust
ness is depressed and that traffic upon
the railroads has decreased.-Repub-
lican.

THE ROAD TO HELL.

Although know thousands who are
on the way, never intimately knew
but one man who actually went to
hell. 1t often happens that man
gets near enough to hell to take a
good look at it, and then backs away.
Women can't do it, but men can.
Therefore never knew but one man
who actually went to hell.
This man was at one time the most
popular man in the town in which
live; yet when he was buried-and
he killed himself with the slow tor
ture Of sin-I was the only man who
saw his body lowered into the grave,
save the undertaken and his assist
ants. l knew this man intimately in
the days of his popularity and pros
perity, and, when he was down and
out, hiding in disreputable place, he
sent for me. l found him as amiable,
as genteel, apparently as decent, as
he ever was.
Frank" / said to him, IL am a
whited sepulchre myself; l do not oft
eli criticise or question others, par
ticularly those love; but tell me why
a man of your excellent qualities has
fallen so low?"
To this he replied:
II was sentenced at birth to this;
l cannot help it."
/ looked at the man in aslonish-
ment, and said:
"The answer you give is the only
lie you ever told me. You are re-
sponsible for your present condition.
No one else is responsible. In trying
to get rid of responsibility that be-
longs to you alone, you are guilty of
the only mean trick i have ever de-
tected you in"

said; "get out of here. Die respecta-

This man who went to hell knew

was the best husband ] ever knew,
before he went to hell; he had high
ideals. never received bad sug-
gestion from him; in his thoughts, as
he expressed them to me, and in his
actions as saw them, he was always
gentle, and kind, and fair, and de-
cent.
Yet this man went to hell and land
ed in the center of the fiery furnace.
That such man met such a fate often
sets me to thinking. He couldn't re-
