HE Executive Conuni of the Na- tional Prosperfty Association met in St. Loufs on Wednesday and decid- ed to make June 1 “employment day.” The manufacturing and com- mercial concerns of that city have agreed to take back to work on June 1 the employees whom they had dropped during the recent finan- cial depression. Two large compa- nies alone will fnerease thelr work-| ing forces by 3,000. | At the conference of Governors in Washington a great deal was said about the destruction of the natural resources of the United States, the wasteful methods of lumbering, mining coal, extracting iron ore, fur- nishing power and raising crdps. | The greatest resource of tde United States is the brains, skill and Industry of its citizens. The wasfé of this resource during the past six months has been more costly and more disastrous than the timber, coal and iron during the past five years. There are now hundreds of thousands of men earning no wages, pro- ducing no wealth and syBsiefyg off their scant savings eked out by neigh- borly assistarice and’ pybie Marty. An idle tree continues to grow and become more valuable every year. An idle field, even if growing up in weed eases in ferti and. will produce more crops than before, when re- stored to cultivation. An idle coal mine or ore bank retains its stores of wealth unimpaired. But an idle man is a dead loss. Tailors on the east side are idle not because bricklayers, carpenfers, shoemakers, clerks, farmers and factory hands do not want clothes, but because many people who would be glad to purchase clothes if they had the means are also idle. The tobacco trade has had a great falling off, not becatise men do not want to smoke cigars, but because men out of work are unable to purchase. Any east side tailor now out of work would be glad to make clothes in exchange for shoes, vege- tables, ‘chickens, eggs and milk. Yet the farmers who would like to have clothes are unable to ex- change vegetables, eggs and milk for them because iWe tailors are unable to buy.

GRANT.—Part II.—The War Hero. ae ORTS Donelson and Henry (commanding respectively the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers) were important Confederate strongholds in the Southwest. Grant saw the {mmense need of capturing them. His superior, Gen, Halleck, apparently did not. Yet Grant at last won consent ‘to make the attack. With 15,000 men and a gunboat fleet under Commodore Foote he planned and executed g brilliant serfes of manoeuvres that began on Feb, 6, 1862, and ended ten days later with the surrender of both forte and the capture of more than 16,000 prisoners. Over 2,000 men on each side were killed or wounded during this series of engagements. When the ; Confederates asked terms. Grant’s grim reply was: “Unconditional ear render!" This was the Union's first really notable victory of the civil war. At a bound Grant, “The Middie-Aged Failure,” sprang into national fame. Lincoln made him major general of volunteers. But Halleck conf- iplained that Grant had not promptly communicated with him after | the fall of the forts. In consequence Grant was for the time stripped of his {command and practically placed under arrest. He was thus made to pay the bitter penalty that {3 so often the fate of a subordinate who scores. a {great success without the aid or direction of his supertor in office.
