EC ———— SELF MADE MEN. ‘An editorial under the above cap- tion appears in a recent edition of the ‘Inter Ocean’ which is large food for thought for our young men. Itie said there are hundreds and thousands of self-made men in the United States who have achieved prominence and whose achievements have been a matter of pride to them- selves and to the people at large. ‘These men do not talk much of their earlier life and struggles, but they are not ashamed of the fact that in the beginning they were poor boys, and that they made their way in life by their own efforts, without the in- fluence of wealthy or powerful friends. In one case a boy who was brought to this country from Bavaria when only 4 years old secured an educa- tion by the hardest work, located in Chicago, became one of the city’s leading lawyers. was elected to the bench, and finally to the highest of- fice in the gift of the people of the State, and is now the leader of one of the great political parties in Illi- nois. In another case a boy who was brotight from England when he was five years old, whose parents located in Llinois, and who began the strug- |) gle in life at the age of ten years as a water boy in astone quarry at Le- mont, worked Ins way through the grades of tool carrier, canal driver, clerk and superintendent, until he is now president of the stone company that owns the stone quarries in which he began his life struggle as a water carrier. When this boy was sixteen years old there occurred an incident, or accident that had a great influence in shaping his career. His foot was business or in the professions, spite of poverty and untoward cumstances, should not receive less) vast political influence, consideration than those more for- tunately situated in the beginning. |licans, and will again represent the) It requires no ordinary talent to E wr | Manage a gi after the interests of thousands of men; possibly it requires as much as to succeed in the law, and possibly ment of great properties is a8 potent perience in the professions. —— prosperity’ continue to be favorite editorial space-fillers in silver papers. Although these same papers claimed prior to the election that “conti- reat business and to look h alent to look after such a business n he experience gained in the manage- |t i in developing & man cf affairs as ex- SIGNS OF Sarcastic allusions to ‘McKinley dence’’ had nothing to do with the situation, yet now they are complain- ing that the resumption of good times is not taking place fast enough, when there is not a thing yet to make good times, except restoration of copfidence as the result of the late election. Times are, however, More people in the aggregate are at sork than before the election. The conditions are improving and the outlook is better. R.G. Dun & Co.'s report of last Saturday, the 16th, says: he greatest growth and pros- perity the country has ever se came suddenly in 1879, after seve: months of disappointment because specie resumption had not yet brought tha benetits expected. It is not the largest and most powerful vessel that can be started most quickly, and it iakes time for new confidence to reach, through easier money markets, larger orders, resuming mills, ex- panding emp oyment, and larger dis- tribution, to the results which make still greater and lasting gain possible. Such gradual and steady improve- ment has been in progress for more than two montbs.’’ Nothing is truer than the above statement. Business resumes by de- rees. The starting of one factory calls for the starting of some other one. The improvement of one branch of trade stimulates another. The report of Saturday further says: “The output of pig iron has gained 12.8 per cent in December and 41.6 per cent. since October 1. Ihe output of coke has increased 88.7 per cent. since October 1. Sales of wool have sgain become large, though not yet fully reported. Money markets feel a steady increase in demand for commercial and man- ufacturing loans. Additional works have gone into operation each week in January, aud the working force is larger than at any other time for six months. Best of all, there is so lit- tle crazy excitement that the gain may be ascribed to the deliberate judgment of the ablest and most prudent men in business. It is not ‘a time of high prices. Many who are anxious to get early hold on the market are making for the moment lower prices than they could afford to maintain. Some have secured or- ders enough for months to come and begin to be Jess keen in competition.”” When spring opeas the outburst of new business will be such as to put to shame those persons who spend ail their time now counting up bank and business failures, who rejoice at every financial casualty and see in improving torn off through the carelessness of someone in charge, and efter he had been taken to the hosnital he was vis- ited by Mr. Edwin Walker, owner of the quarries, who explained to bim that the company would be responsi- ble for damages, and that a fair compensation would be allowed for the injury to him. Incidentally be mentioned that he would take the boy and give him an education, and waive the question of damages. The young cripple, looking out from the hospital bed to the future before him, chose the offer of an eaucation, and before he was 19 years old he held a responsible position in the company, and, starting with a thor- ough business education, he worked his way to the control of one of the largest industrial interests in the state. He showed himself so much a man of affairs that he was persuaded to enter the city council, and soon became leader of the Republican or respectable element in the council. He is now candidate for United States Senator, and one of the accu- sations against him is that he isa self-made man.

Of course this was distasteful to the high toved gev- tlemen who rule Democracy in Ten- nessee, but the good name and honor of the state was saved from the taint of having had @ Republican gov- ernor.

THE POPULAR BLOUSE. tt Holds Undisputed Sway Dartag This Bummer Weather. All the feminine world seems to be ap- pearing in blouses during the hot ather, and although manufacturers and designers had anticipated the de- mand for this exceptionally useful and elegant article of attire, they have set to work again and produced some strik- ing novelties with a departure from the regulation article, One well-known house shows a pretty blouse of kilted grass cloth a fitted silken bodice. The fitted bodices are in all the new art tints and appear to advantage in eau de Nil, new pink, heliotrope and amber. The close-kilted grass cloth forms the ntire front and back of the blouse. The sleeves are of the full top class in grass cloth arranged over a plain cont sleeve of the silk, the top pullings being exceptionally well arranged. At the wrists the sleeves are cut in van- dykes, revealing an under layer of close- ly Kilted grass cloth edged with valen- clennes. The front hem of the blouse is also ornamented with a dpuble-kilted frill of grass cloth, also edged with valenciennes. The main collar if high and of silk, over which is arranged the grass cloth in slantwise folds; at the top is an outstanding kilted frill edged with lace. Another novelty introduced in this model is @ kilted frill reaching from the throat down the shoulder ling and terminating at the top of the sleeves. The frills face to the front of the blouse. The belt is of grass cloth, Another grass cloth model is chic, the cloth forming @ zouave over a very bright pink pongee. The fronts and back of the grass cloth zouave repre sent four tucks about three inches deep, each tuck being headed with a feather stitch lace. The sleeves are of the class described in the preceding model, but at the wrist up to the elbow are orna mented with a series of tucks en 5: with the character of the zouare, ‘The collar of grass cloth turns over a folled silk collar and is relieved from the im: mediate front, while the pongee collar is ornamented on either side the fasten Ing by a row of six pear! buttons. The pink pongee blouse is very full and belted in empire style, with 12 tiny pearl buttons forming an ornament in conjunction with the puff of pongee An elongated pearl brooch fastens the Dlonse midway between the throat and empire belt. Yet another novelty is seen in an arrangement of epaniets of pongee beneath the full topof grass cloth, A third remarkable effect is « grass lawn known as striped silk grass lawn. The regulation lawn is intersect ed with stripes of white sil quarter of an inch wide and two th: like stripes of gold. The fabric is very taking. With this fabric is introduced folded frills of white chiffon, forming a tout ensemble rarely seen. ‘The front ct the blouse is full, the hem}eing on either side by the chiffon frills Three other chiffon frills appear ~ov either side of the center, the whole frontage being trimmed with chiffon The chitfon frills are about 1% inches in width, The collar proper is of white 5 satin with an over collar set on smal nishes entertainment to the leisure wings, these being of the grass lawn class, and instruction and stimulusto | edged with chiffon frills.

Platt for six- teen years has been to regain his seat in the senate, This he has done. Wuite the Butchers are justified in complaining about the old rickety market house we do not think it wise move to have any competition in regard to markets. Every one readily recognizes that the city ought to do away with the old structure and build new brick house that would be comfortable, 3 the receipts from stall rent would pay well. The people are benefitted by all receipts from every source and should be willing to furnish tenantable quarters. No doubt the movement is gotten up to force the city to do something, and they should do it as the present place is a disgrace.
