Itis asplengid and philanthropic business proposition. To successfully carry out the plans agreed upon by the citi- zens’ colonization committee and the Salvation Army money is needed and the requisite funds will, doubtless, be speedily forthcoming. Ten thousand dollsrs will start the colonists on the way 1o prosperity. There is no call ‘or donations, but for interest-bearing loans, and capital will not, we are certain, aliow the projectto fail for lack of funds. Citlz:ns gave $30,000 last win- ter for the temporary relief of the unemployed.

Money could not be advanced in a more worthy calse, Police Commissioner Tobin's opinion that a certain prisoner under arrest for swindling “lacks moral perception’’ 1s probably correct. There are many other prisoners similarly affl cted, and jalls are largely for the purpose of arousing within their minds the conscience which from long lack of use lies dormant. The growth of a moral perception has been known to be greatly stmulated by a long sentence. el While Europs is more or less torn up, Spain throwing a dally fit and England perturbed; while from Alaska to Hawaii, and on to the toy repubiics of the far south turmoil seems to be the rule, the Important fact that (he San Rafael Hunt Club h been reorganized has not recelvea the notice due an event of mo- ment.

HE rev.val in trade is now general. All sections of the ountry report busi The improvement, which iness good. bezan with the farmer, has now extended to the merchant, d wili soon resch tue vrofessional classes and wagzeworkers. Then the clrenit will be comoplete. Advices from New York report an increase in the volume of tusiness in woolen and cotton goods, jewelry and rubber goods and boots and ahoes. Some wholesale merchan’s at Western centers report the largest August trade on record. The West- ern iron and steel mlifs have enough orders to keep them busy until January 1. From the Northwest It is reported that some houres have had to work overtime to fill ordersfor goods, Mercantile collections have greatly improved In some sections. These are oniy & few of the rosy reports that come in from day to day. 1t may be interesting to enumerate the articles that have advanced siace the current revival began. They are wool, cot- ton and woolen goods, hides, leather, white pine lumber, sashes and doors, iron and steel bars, billets and rcds, wire nails, barbed wire and Southern foundry iron, wheat, corn, lard, sugar, hops, bacon, all kinds of dried fruits, raisins, hay, beans, flour, turpentine, several kinds of oils, rye, barley and oats, be- sides Civers other articies of mirnor importance. There were oniy 196 business failures reported throughout the United States last week, sgainst 210 during the preceding week, 3% in the week one year ago, 184 two years ago, 207 three years ago and 379 in the like week of 1393, Fatiurzs during August were in number not oniy 17 per cent lexs than in August, 1896, but in amount of Iabilities 70.8 emaller. July and August show a lower average of liabilities ver fai ure than has ever been known in any year, or evan in a quarter, of the twenty-three vears R. G. Dun & Co. have kept quarterly records. The improvement Is also well distributed, extending to nearly every imporiant branch o! business, but in clothing, j:welry and unciassified trading only two months of the past forty-seven have shown smailer fai utes; in general stores and furniture only three; in groceries, hats and iron manufactures only four; in chemical manufactures only five; and in clothing manufacture only six months of the forty- seven. The above exhibit is more than gratifylng. It shows beyond dispute that trade is on a sound basis. In fact, there is not avestize of the panic of 1£9} remaining except its un- pleisant remembrance. That will stay with us as long as the free-trade heresy continues a cardinal principle of ths Demo- cratic party. For that party never learns its lesson, no matter how bitter that lesson may be. It sesms incapable of learning anything. It plunged the country into a panic in 1893, and with its usual fatuity fv will plange it into another as soon as it gets the chance, Hence it behooves the American people noy to give it the chance again, The feature of local trade last week was the remarkable gain in bank ciearings. Thers were $15,995,819, against $12,759,110 for the same weoek in 1806 Thisisa gain of 50 per cent over last year, and shows the improvemens in business so plainly that the most bigoted free-trader is forced to admit it. — It is hard to believe the press report that & minister in the West V.rginia coal regions has been enjoined from preaching, yet it is quite possible that, if anxious to speak the truth and carelul in tue selection of bis text, he has found it easy 10 say something not pleasing to the coal mine owners. The in- junction is not sweeping enough, howevi , to prevent the min- ister reading his Bible on the quler, and thinking to himseit. The modesty of the pueilist is ever his strongest point, being hardly even equaled by the scholarly diplomzcy which be exercises in avoiding a fight.

Captain Garbe(t ¢f the British navy, in his recent handbook on naval guanery, makes the singular mistexe of crediting turret-ships 10 Capiatn Cowper Cole, when, as s matter of fact, the invention wes thatof Captain John Erices n. On September 26, 1834, Capiain Ericsson sent to Emperor Napoleon III a sketch of & dome-turreted ship, and it was Deariy a year after, during the Crimesn war, that Captain Cole constructed a dome turres erected on araft. Ericsson’ssubsequent ides as materialized in the Monitor in 1862 proved & success. while Captein Cole’s ship, the Cep- tain, proved a disastrous faflure by which the bullders and nesrly 400 others lost their lives. The final end of Nelson’s old flagship Fou- droyant was rather Inglorious. Mr. Lobb of Liverposl bad purchased the ship from the admiraiiy and expsnded about $125,000 upon it, restoring it to the preciie condition it was in Nelson’s time. The ship was taken from port to portassshow, but the scheme was nota financial success. On June 15 the ship wes at anchor at Blackpool and during thenight a storm came up and the ship went ashore and became a wreck. Early the next morning an agent of Beecham painted on th: hull of the Foudroyantin letiers three feet high avd two feet wide the following words: “England expects every man todo his duty and take Beccham's pills.” Mr. Lopb became highiy incensed at this unwarranted liberty taken with his property and made juaicial compiaint, with the resuit that on August 1 a jary gave a verdict against Beecham of $250 and fined the painter $10. And thus the flig- ship of Great Britain’s greatest admiral ter- minated its existence, the inspired words of the great sea warrior at Trafalzar even being made the ignoble use of as s nostrum aaver- tisement.
