If you've anything good to say of a man,
Don't wait till he's la'nl to rest.
For tlx1 eulogy spoken when hearts are
broken
Is an empty thins; at best.
All, the blighted flower now drooping
lonely
Wotihl perfume the mountain side.
If the sun's triad rav had but shown to
day And the pretty bud espied.
If vou've any alms to give to the poor,
i)on't wait till you hear the cry
Of wan listress in this wilderness,
Less the one forsook may die.
O. hearken to poverty's sad lament,
He swift her wants to allay;
Don't spurn God's poor from the favor
ed door
As you hope for mercy one day.
Don't wait for another to bear the bur
den. Of sorrow's irksome load:
Let your hand extend to a strieken friend
As he totters adown life's road.
And if you've anything good to say of a
man.
Don't wait till he's laid at rest:
For the eulogy spokeii when hearts are
broken
Is an empty thing at best.

I 1 business recuperation lias mude
j furtlier progress during the last
j week, although the pace of tho im
! provement has not satisfied expeta-
turn in any department. The action
j of Secretary Carlisle in issuing a
1 :?"ii. 000, 000 loan, and the indications
' that it will be promptly absorbed by
1 capitalists, have strengthened con
! fider.ee. which had been impaired by
the inadequacy of the Government
revenues and the steady shrinkage
in the Treasury gold reserves. The
favorable effect upon financial senti-
i ment of the Treasury movement to
; replenish its reserves has been sup
i plemented by the continued reports
j of a gradual revival of industrial ae
j tivity. There have been several im
j port ant mill resumptions in the text
ile and iron and steel industries; and
many thousands of workers have
been restored to employment, al-
though in many cases at reductions ,
of 10 to 20 per cent, in wages.
Exports of merchandise compare j
favorably with those of last year;
but imports continue to fall heavily
behind the early 1S93 totals. Official
figures for December showed an ex
cess of exports amounting to $43.-1
24.",Ol!l; and so far during January!
imports at New York have decreased j
:?S. 107. D.C. while exports from that j
port have increased $2,310,010. Tho !
business failures in the United
States and Canada during the last
week, according to R. G. Dun it Co., j
numbered 4."3. as against 332 during'
the corresponding period last year, j
Cotton prices have declined to !
.)-!., oi a cenx, owing 10 speculative
realizations, and the weakening of
bullish sentiment in consequence of
the well sustained movement of sup
plies to the ports. Receipts in five
days have been 40.000 bales larger
than they were last year; and al
though exports in the same period
have been throe times as lare as
the' were during the corresponding
five days in 18!l;5, the bearish influ
ence of the receipts has dominated
the markets. The movement is not
in keeping with minimum crop esti
mates: and while it shall continue on
the present scale it will be difficult
to infuse any '"bullish" confidence
into speculation.
The wheat markets have again dis
appointed the expectation of the
long interests. Although receipts
have continued moderate, there has
been a further increase iu warehouse
stocks; and the big supplies togeth
er with the continued indifference of
exporters have tended to depress
prices.
Compared with figures cur-
rent a week ago. the markets hay
declined I to 1A cents per bushel:
and tlie price of the May option in
New York and Chicago has gone be
low all previous records. The con
tinued weakness of values in the
face of an abundant and cheap
money supply attests the general
lack of confidence in the Government
crop estimates.
Exports in the first six months of
the crop year were about 08,000,000
bushels, and home consumption and
fall seeding absorbed 1W. 000, 000
bushels more of a crop yield which
the Federal statisticians estimated
at :5'.m;. 000.000 bushels. Assuming
that there were available at the out
set of the crop year, not more than
110,000,000 bushels of old wheat,
there would apparently have been in
the country on January 1 only 245,
ooo.OOO bushels to meet demands
which, for home consumption and
spring seeding alone, will require
178.0OO.0OO bushels. This would leave
07,000,000 bushels for ( months' ex
ports and a reserve stock.
An Awful Tragedy!
Thousands of lives have been sacri
ficed, thousands of homos made desolate
lv the fatal mistake of the old-school"
physicians, still persisted in by some.
notwithstanding the light thrown upon
the subject by modern research, that
consumption is incurable. It is not.
Consumption is a scrofulous disease of
the lungs, and any remedy which strikes
right at the seat of the complaint must
and will cure it. Such a remedy is Dr.
1'ierce's (iolden Medical Discovery. It
is a certain specific for all scrofulous
complaints. It was never known to fail
if given a fair trial, and that is why the
manufacturers sell it under a positive
guarantee that if it does not benefit or
cure, the money paid for it will be re
funded. The only lung remedy pos
sessed of such remarkable curative
properties as to warrant its makers in
selling it on trial!
ARP IN FLORIDA.
He is Detvildercd at the Magnificence of
the Tampa Bay Hotel,
I saw two fishermen unloading a
cargo of fish from their boat at Tam
pa. The barrels were all marked for
Charlesttw. I interviewed these fish
ermen and the' told me they caught
as many as 70,000 in a week down at
Sarasota bay. Now I am done with
fish stories. I left my folks fishing at
Clear "Water, but they are not so wild
about it now and will soon get tired.
I saw a girl hang an enormous trout
and she held him and played him
around until he got tired and a boat
was sent out to secure him. I guess
ed he weighed fifteen pounds ard
cithers guessed twelve and ten, but
when he was put on the scales he
came down to nine. An old fisher
man remarked that it was a sin to
weigh a fish, for they always fall
short.
Tampa is lively. The hotels are
filling up. trade is good and money
circulating just like it used to before
the panic. Most of this money comes
from abroad and is quickly scatter
ed around. Even' other house is
either a hotel or a boarding house.
The strangers come from every where
up north and many from Georgia and
Tennessee. I came down with a man
and his wife, who were from north
Michigan, and had never been South.
It entertained me to see their
amazement, for he said he had just j
put up lhO tons of ice before heleltiThev abound in all of it sharks
home. They are delighted with the
country and with the people. He
said everybody was so kind and na-
borly and that he had no idea of find-1
ing such good people down South. I
think that his wife was almost afraid
to come, but she is in bad health and
she had just as well risk the rebels
in Florida as death at home, and so
she came. She has improved much
within a week.
The Tampa Bav Hotel, where the
millionaires congregate, has not vet
filled up but wiU be by ho middl(?
f tl month. It is a magnificent
hous
feel
and so bewilders me that I
olemn in its beautiful apart-j
ments and don't dare to talk in my
usual tone of voice. Everybody else
seems to feel so too for it is not like
a hotel. While you are walking on
velvet carpets that cost $." a yard, or
sitting in chairs that cost :?r0 apiece,
and b(m paintings on the wall that
cost from $100 to $5,000, and the
whole building in a blaze of heavenly
lights and delicious music charming
to the ear and delightful odors per
fuming the air and the servants all
in livery, a common man feels like
t,e o(1 woman at th(? ch.cus for th(J
first time in her life. When the grand
procession of beautiful horses, with
their riders in spangled garments,
came inarching in, she said: "John.
John, it's more like the kingdom of
heaven than anything I ever expect
ed to see in this world."
Xow, with all that, I was invited
to lecture in the music hall of this
grand structure, and I did it. It
was just large enough for my audi
ence and I am pleased to say that I
was able to conceal my embarrass
ment. Not that I was afraid of the
people who sat before me, but some
how I never feel at ease in a house
that is so much finer than mine own.
It is art, not nature, that makes me
timid. Mr. Plant must be a wonder
ful man to plan such a grand system
of railways and hotels and parks and
steamship lines and yet he makes no
great noise in the world. For years
and years he has been perfecting
this svstem. and everv branch of it,
mmw , f.ln,.-wm.,. T,,mi
sands of men are employed by him
and his enterprises have already
added many millions to the value of
property in Florida. This beautiful
city of Tampa is a monument to his
genius. More than half a century
ago Richard Henry Wilde wrote a
little poem, beginning, ':My life is
like the summer rose,"' and the last
verse was
'My life was like the prints that feet
Have left on Tampa's desert strand,
Soon as the rising tide shall beat,
All traces vanish from the sand.
Yet, as if grieving to efface
All vestige of the human race.
On that lone shore loud moans the sea,
lint none, alas! shall mourn for me.1
Mr. Wilde was an Irishman, who
came over here after Emmet's un
timely death, and settled in Augus.
ta, and I suppose he had some rea
son for penning such sad, sweet
verses. I wish that he could see
Tampa now. I wish that Rev. Frank
Goulding was alive to see it, for it
was here that he located that terri
ble devil fish that carried the boat
and his children ("The Young Ma
rooners") far out to sea. There is no
desert strand now; no lone shore; no
devil fish.
Lakeland is a little gem of a town
and I have not found a better hotel
in Florida than the Tremont. It is
just fine enough and good ewough for
anybody. It overlooks one of the
prettiest lakes I have yet seen, and
the town is surrounded by many
others. This is quite a railroad cen
ter and might have been a city if
Tampa was farther off. It will be a
city 3'et, for such beautiful locations
and surroundings are not common,
even in Fonda. As old Father Dob
bins used to say, '"The Creator has
qviit making land, but He keeps on
making people," and Lakeland will
be found out before long.
I have been to Bartow, tlie centre
of the phosphate region. Thirty
companies have organized within the
county and millions of dollars invest
ed in land and machinery. There is
capital here from Boston, New York,
Baltimore, Richmond, Pittsburg,
Charleston, Savannah, Augusta and
Atlanta. But all is not gold that
glitters. Of these thirty companies
only sixteen are in operation. Of
these sixteen only seven have made
any money. There is phosphate
enough, but even-thing depends upon
management and location. I visited
one plant six miles in the country
that is being operated by a receiver.
What a business this has got to be!
The receiver! There ought to be a
book upon it iust like the books for
lawyers and doctors and other pro
fessions. It should be made a text
book in the schools. I think I would
name it "The Lawyers' Harvest, the
Creditors Grave and the Stockhold
ers" Funeral.""
But this phosphate business is yet
in its infancy and improved methods
of mining and washing will soon be
invented. The Peruvian islands are
exhausted, and now nature unlocks
another storehouse in Florida that
seems sufficient for centuries to
come. "What is it? " I asked. "Is it
animal, vegetable or mineral?" It is
a mixture of all. thev sav, but chief! v
mineral. I found some sharks teeth

Some of those
antidiluvian monsters must have
been as large as young whales, but
how in the world did they all congre
gate on this peninsular when the
great convulsion came that upheaved
it?
Verily the world is full of myste
ries, and we know nothing hardly.
Fortunes have been made here by
the few who are shrewd and bold
and who had good judgment and fore
sight. George W. Scott has sold
part of his holdings for fabulous
sums. He owned miles of phosphate
lands on lVau river. Mr. Coding
ton, the genial, energetic yankee
mayor of Bartow, bought largely at
from $5 to $10 an acre and sold for
ten times that amount. I was his
guest. "I fit ag'in you,"' said he,
"but have come down from Michigan
to livo w ill, vim and have found a
cordial welcome. If the railroads
would reduce transportation to 1
cent a mile thousands of good, hardy
people from the North would come
down, first to see, then to stay, and
the result in a few years would be
perfect harmony between the sec-
tions."
What every town in the South
needs is a leader a man of nerve
and enterprise. Our people will fol
low, but they fear to lead. Mr. Cod
ington is a power in Bartow and will
soon have waterworks and an electric
plant and street cars and another
railroad. He has been a great trav
eler and lived some years in Peru
while Henry Meiggs was building
railroads there for the government.
He designed and built a gas plant
near the apex of the Andes moun
tains for the sole purpose of lighting
the tunnel that Meiggs bored for his
wonderful railroad a road that cost
$2."),000,000. That gas plant is 10,000
feet above the sea level. Everything
for the railroad and the gas plant
was carried up cliff roads on the
backs of mules 300 pounds to the
mule. Just think of it! Yankee gen
ius, yankee pluck was behind it all.
They are a wonderful people.
''When a yankee is good he is very
good, indeed, but when he is bad he
is horrid." And that is what they
think of us, I reckon.
I saw a skunk yesterday as it
crossed the road a few miles out of
town. It was a beauty. Our dog
tackled it forthw ith, and then but
you must ask the dog for further
particulars. Bill A up.
Doing: Away With Pistols.
Greenville Reflector.
If the importation and sale of pis
tols in the State could be stopped,
and all the Judges would adopt the
plan of Judge Bynum, in a short while
there would be fewer pistols in the
State than at present? In the con
victions at this term of Court for
carrying concealed weapons the
Judge has made it a condition of sus
pending judgment upon payment of
costs that the defendant make the
Court a present of the pistol. When
the pistol was brought it was tarned
over by the Judge to the Sheriff with
instructions that he take it down
and break it in pieces and return
the fragments to the Court. Several
went between the anvil and hammer
under this order."

From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, D. C, Jan. 20, 1894.
Secretary Carlisle has announced
an issue of bonds, under authority of
the act of 1875, to meet the prestnt
necessities of the Treasury. While
neither he, President Cleveland, nor
any member of the Cabinet has any
doubts about his authority to issue
bonds, he and they would have pre
ferred that Congress should have
provided for the financial deficit,
but Senator Vorhees and other lead
ing Democrats in Congress, after
consultation and mature considera
tion, arrived at the conclusion that
it would be impossible to secure Con
gressional action in time to render
the aid needed, owing to differences
of opinion among Democrats as to
what should !e done; and advised
that advantage be taken of the au
thority conferred by the old law.
The issue of bonds is to be limited to
the immediate needs of the Govern
ment, thus leaving Congress free to
act as soon as it may be so disposed,
by providing other means of raising
money that must be had from some
source. The idea of a Imnd issue is
not a palatable one to the average
Democrat, but in this case there was
no choice; it was bonds or a default
in meeting obligations of the Govern
ment. The consideration of the Wilson
tariff bill is proceeding satisfactory
to the Deriiocrats, although the
clauses about which there is the
greatest Democratic controversy
have not j et been reached. A num
ber of minor amendments have been
adopted, and one very important one
providing that the free wool clause
should take effect upon the passage

tor Call's resolution for an investiga
tion of the civil service, said: '"I
think there is a great deal of humbug
about this civil service business, and
I am not in favor of extending it one
iota further."' This statemeut was
greeted with such uproarious ap
plause from the galleries that the
chairman had to threaten to have
them cleared before quiet was re
stored. Mr. Berry voiced the popu
lar idea.
The depleted condition of the
Treasury would prevent any consid
erable appropriation for the enlarge
ment of our navy at the present
session of Congress, even if a major
ity of the Democrats were in favor
of such appropriation, which is doubt
ful. Representative Holman is one
of the Democrats who believes that
our navy is already dangerously
large and that it should not be added
to, unless the traditional policy of
our government, to avoid entangling
alliances, is to be shelved and an ag
gressive foreign policy substituted
therefor. 'We need," says Mr. Hol
man, 'a navy .sufficiently strong to
protect our interests at home and
abroad, but we have already gone be
yond that point and ought to stop. I
do not favor a large army in time of
peace, but an army cannot, under
any circumstances, get us into trou
ble. The army cannot inaugurate a
foreign policy. The navy can, as
witness the Valparaiso incident. The
foreign relations of our country are
more or less in the hands of the com
mander of any American naval ves
sel, and we must sustain him, as a
rule, in whatever course he takes.
For that reason, it is not advisable
to have too much of a navy. The
smaller the navy, the better;
vided it is sufficient for our
pro-pur-
poses.
Senator Daniel made it plain to
Senator Hoar this week that it was
not altogether prudent to attempt to
make a speech on the Hawaiian ques
tion with no better preparation than
a reeling tit malignant Hatred oi
President Cleveland and the Demo
cratic part'. A iter practically com
pelling Senator Hoar to admit his
ignorance of the official documents
bearing on the subject upon which
he was speaking, Senator Daniel
considerately dropped the matter.
Senator Morgan had earlier in the
week tripped up Senator Davis, of
Minnesota, in a similar way, but in
stead of acknowledging his ignor

So many misleading statements
have been made about the reasons
that caused the Southern Democrat
ic Senators to vote against Mr. Horn-
blower's confirmation, which was re
jected this week, that I have ascer

son for their voting against him. It
was simply that they had doubts
about Mr. Hornblower s status as a
constitutional jurist, and did not
propose to take any chances
