It is this ctTron- n..unuvtfry tl.lt onaics ti10 professional jo-ambler to win from tlte unsophisti- ; eated. It is the i'oim'dation of "blun' I in-." winch is a confident assert ion in ,--t nuinner, sometimes, instead of words. i :'. I hit one can hardl v rei'ommend tlie cti'tivation of confident assertion, notwithstanding its undoubted pow er and usefulness, except when it is founded, upon re:;! knowledge. It does not shine as a virtue, because it is (jfenerally exhibited by the un scrupulous or the ignorant. Those who have little knowledge can make assertions confidently because they are not troubled by the doubts that assail their bet'er informed neigh bors. !)u't the lines t exhibitions of eordidci.t assertion are made bv the rui ulous for upon their !: :enl!v th.ev f- rei's. and in ike i,rOod tin u-r.s bv foi if ex- ; rav; a rat their eli rontery.

It is a beautiful r:im when it j is well played, as exciting as a rame i of c'uauce in which nerve and e::ron- ; j tery p'.ay important parts.

This of itself should; j put us -n our .c-uard. When two; i unscrupulous men are pitted against j ' each other a fine ij'amo of blutl' en- j sues, and as usual in such panics the boldest wins. Hut such frames can-: not be entered by honest men who; ! respect the truth. They can only j i look' on and, try to measure the truth ; j by their knowledge of human nature. ; Where conf, dent assertion with- i out proof is used by the politician or ; deiraiiroirne to sway the multitude, it is almost always successful unless it can be quickly and surely disprov ed. It would be useless to try to meet such men with their own wea pons, even though it were honorable to do so. for they have no conscience, ...,1 verc often are so Wnoraut that j the truth would not affect them if it ! were presented. We have seen ! abundant evidences of this in many j political campaigns fought on a false ; o;- distorted issue, though after a ! time the people having learned of their fol'.v return to the safe tddes ' who are loo honest and know too I much to indulge freely in confident ! assertions. It is a safe rule, howev ier. to ouard afrainst beinfr carried j away by bold declarations or claims ; unsupported by any kind of proof, land to consider whether the bump I lions orator is qualified to make his 'coniident assertions, or whether (as j is generally the case) he makes them because he is either ignorant or un- scrupulous.

A lony time aro she used to jump up with alacrity and jo into another room and wait till I "jot the little varmint out, but anno domini takes the scare out of a woman as well as a man, and so now she keeps her seat. The yirls said: "Take the lamp in the hall and it will out," but it wouldent. My wife said: '"You had better :et the broom and knock it down, but don't you knock it this way." I noticed that she had put a newspaper on her head saddle fashion, and the irlshad covered up all but their eyes. Carefully I mount ed a chair and bean to sweep for the little creature as skimmed around, but it takes a !onr time and lost my perpendicular several times. ''The bat is the missing link," said 1 as I rave another stroke. "Seems to be,'" said my wife. ''You miss it every time." "Tt is not an amphibious animal." said I. "lut very ambiguous," said she.

Moses declared them unclean and classed them with owls and vultures, it seems to us that it is a poor, miserable life they live, but, I ret-kon they enjoy it, especial ly when they come in the house and alarm the women and children.

I wish that I was a naturalist. It is an overliving mystery to study these little creatures all around us.

I watch them on the polos in 1he trellis and they never fail to pause for an instant and sav something and quickly pass on.

Monroe Kinniiror. It seems to us that sonic men are very much mistaken in their views of what it takes to brin about pros perity. Politics alone cannot do it. I'ass a law to-day to have the free and unlimited coinage of silver at a rati, of sixteen to one and that would not brinr prosperity to the farmer who lets his farm run down from year to year for the lack of proper management. To brin the prosperity we all so much desire, polities must lock hands with indus trial development. And the man who neglects his business to discus's 'jold standard" or ''free silver' will find that no financial policy of the government can save him from seri ous loss, if not from financial ruin.

Eusiness conditions have contin ued satisfactory and encoura,rinr. A freneral holiday has cut into the volume of trade during the week, but there lias been fairly sustained activity in leading lines; and now that the vacation season is over, there is promise of a steady expan sion of business. The industries, as a rule, are in excellent condition; and the orders on the books of most manufacturers assure them active employment throughout the Fall sea son. The gold export movement has continued, and there is no im mediate promise of such a reversal of trade balances as will check the outHow. Hut the gold exports have had little influence because their ef fect upon the Treasur' has been nul lified by the deposits made by the bank in ; syndicate, which, in addi tion to contract obligations, has a common interest with the Govern ment in maintaining the Federal credit that is back of the bonds v Inch it has sold at home and abroad. Payments through banks sliow an expanding trade movement. The corn crop is virtually assured, and, as it is likely to be the biggest ever grown, its favorable promise inspires strong hopefulness with re gard to the business outlook. Easi ness failures in the United States and Canada during last week ac cording to returns to II. G. Dun v Co., numbered 221, against 2i'.; dur ing the corresponding week last year. Liabilities of failures in four weeks of August are given as Js, 0K;,2o7, of which o;SJt,s:;2 were of manufacturing and ,052.o-n) of trading concerns, against 10, loll, --177 in four weeks of August. 180 -1, when '.l).171.oo0 were of manufact uring and ."), 077. ."mo of trading firms. Cotton prices have continued firm, and prices for immediate deli very are generally 1-H! of a cent per pound higher than they were a week ago. The strength is predicated upon reports of crop damage and es timates that the yield of the c urrent season will fall anywhere from 2. ouu.ooo to ."5,000,000 bales below that of last year. The latter has been computed by Secretary Hester, of the New Orleans Cotton Exchange, at 0.0ol.2."l bales, or St;.".872 bales more than tlie great crop of lSi'1-2. Over 2,000,000 bales of the old crop of American cotton remain in the world's markets, and will go far to compensate for any proljable decline in the yield of the present crop. The cotton goods trade position has continued very strong, and further advances of 1 to of a cent per yard have been made on many makes of tuple fabr; re has been a : od inouirv, but the reluctance of i sellers to make new advance en-lnu- j gagements in the face of a rising ged cotton market and the fact that the isful ; production of many mills is already Sa- heavily sold ahead have operated in many instances to limit the volume that ' of new business. Wheat prices have dropped 'A to cents per bushel. This decline, j following the steady downward drift of values during August, has carried niau-uraieo awui joui m(inui a-o. Tlie depression of prices reflects the cilect of tne lacreasiiie crop move ment in the Northwest. In the Winter wheat States the deliveries from farmers' hands are small, and the bulk of the offerings is taken by interior millers. I Jut the bi" re ceipts of Spring wheat and small ex porls have offset the light shipments from the central West; and visible stocks, which had been running down since the year began, have now slightly increased. The unsat isfactory character of the foreign trade in wheat is an important cause of weakness in prices. Corn prices have declined about 3 cents per bushel because the interi or deliveries of old corn have in creased and recent rains have im proved the outlook for the growing crop. The latter has not yet entire ly passed the point of danger from frost, but each day's immunity from such damage will now greatly lessen the risk and make probable the har vesting of the biggest production on record. There is a fair export de mand lor old corn, out, having se cured many cargoes for December to March shipment from speculative sellers in this country, European buyers have been less eager opera tors for future shipment. Chicago speculation has caused a decline of i0 cents per barrel in the price of pork, but other values show little change: and the legitimate trade sit uation has been strengthened by an i important reduction in Western stocks of meats and by a continued light movement to packing centres.
