Tlie incroase of homicides in the United States in recent years is at tributed by the Now York Journal of Commerce to a loss of conlklence on the part oft lie people in the ef ficiency of many of the courts, and the inefficiency of the courts the Journal attributes to appellate judges who have a petty ambition to air their acumen and erudition "by splitting hairs instead of con sidering whether justice has been done." The people, ovnerally are not alllicted with the morbid senti mentality which is for the murderer and his family and not for his victim and the victim's family, but desire to see criminals promptly convicted and punished. They are impatient at the failure of justice, and. besides that, they find that repeated ''now trials" on nice technicalities are costly and add to their taxes. Very recently in Texas and Massa chusetts the Supreme Courts have set aside convictions merely because indie intents happened to omit the name of the countv in which the i i crime was committed, thouirh there was not the least doubt in the world about the location of the towns named in the indictment as the scene of the offense. Such decisions excite only lisrust in the popular mind, in which the notion still lin gers that courts exist to secure jus tice, not merely to provide lawyers an opportunity to make fees. Jus tice Jh'ewer has rightly said: ''You may trust the jury to do justice to the accused with more safet- than you can the appellate courts to se cure protection to the public by speeuy pumsnment.

One of the most foolish practices indulged in by mankind is that of meeting troubles half way, for it frequently happens that. the troubles to which we are looking forward and expecting with fear and trembling cither do not come at all, or, when they do come, are not nearly so ter rible when actually faced. ''Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.'7 This is a comforting reflection, . and, if not followed too literally, would help us to struggle against those fits of despondency and depression to which we are all, at some period or other of our existence, only too predisposed. Anxiety about present difficulties or about prospective troubles cannot bring any good to those who give way to it. Anxiety for the future, both temporal and spiritual, in moderation is good, but it must not be carried to excess. If so carried, it degenerates into de spondency and despair. Everybody knows what a pic-nic is. but most folks would find it hard to say how it got tho name, and yet it is simple enough when you come to learn it. v lien a pie-nii be ing arranged for the custom origi nally was that those who intended to be present should supply the eat ables and drinkables. A list of those necessities having been drawn up, it was passed round, and each person picked out the article of food or drink that he or she was will ing to furnish, and tlie name of the article was nicked or ticked off the list. The open air entertain-' ment thus became known as "pick'" I and ''nick." The custom is said I to have dated from so that j the pic-nic is wholly an institution I of the nineteenth century. Mr. W.

America is a great country for of fices and officers. Every other fel low you meet is an official in some thing. He is a national, State, coun ty, city, church, lodge, convention, board of trade, club or some other official, and ever- fourth woman is an officer in something. She is pres ident, secretary, or the proud holder of some office in club, society, league, card party or something. Most of those who have no office are hunt ing one, and many of them playing boot lick to those who have offices to distribute. "When a fellow begins to show you extra cordiality, you may know that he wants to sell your real estate or stocks, negotiate a loan, write you for insurance, or get you to beg for him in securing some office. One of our secular papers noted the fact that when ex-f'overn-or Taylor made his first lecture in Memphis no one called on him. "When he came to Memphis a few days since his room was crowded. On the iirst visit it was generally believed that this popular platform man would never again juit the lecture platform to distribute offices, but on the sec ond it was clear that he would again be Governor. See i This bootlick ing, office-seeking, office-trading and honor-swapping business is cutting the grit from under our statesman ship and our manhood. Offices de pend on boodle, wire work and swap ping honors, and the pondering to the powers so much that it is no lon ger a question of who is fit, but who can win. The question with the officer is no longer what is duty, but what is popular or what will secure tills or that other office for me when my present term expires. The peo ple, discouraged and hopeless, have turned the politics of the country over to the professional bosses and government pap-suckers, and are looking on in amazement to see the end "vox populi, vox Dei" but the voice of the politician is the voice of the devil. the hope ok tiik coi'NTitv. j The hope of the country lies in the I purity of her officials, and the only reason that we liave not gone to ut ter rot is in the fact that we have a few honest, true, unpurchasable of ficials. Some of the best men of our country have filled our offices, and these great good men have been our salvation: but the wot but the work of these ' nod men has been largely check ma- i moral and financial condition of this country for the next half century is ; now going on. the catastrophe is ' now on. and in this political uphea ! val the great continental mountains ! will be found whose awful caverns of magnificent heights will destroy or j delight for years to come. No surer ; did the great catastrophe centuries j ago form the Appalachian and Kocky mountain systems than the agitation now going on will form great funda- mental systems in our country that will last one hundred years. The ad- j vance of scientific discoveries, the '. advance of machinery, and the con-j sequent change of labor, tlie settle-1 ment of our whole country and the occupation of all our Western lands, the discovery of the resources of our whole country, and the adjustment of our manufacturing interests and labor rirobiom, the settlement of our foreign relations, the settlement of our monetary basis, and the settle ment of the saloon question all these and more are in the present uphea val, to say nothing of the new wo man and tights and bloomers. The next ten years are to be stormy years full of earthquakes in the civil, social and religious world. 1 am hopeful of the outcome, but ev erything depends upon our intelligent leaders. And, first of all, we need intelligence and independence in the rank and file of our citizenship, for the people first lead for a leader, and then he leads the people. The leader, is the product of the ballot j in the hands of the common people. j q jVl us a purC; patriotic, honest j president, the balance of Senatorial j p,nvP1- lying in his veto or signature and the proper manning of many offices being in his hands, we may be hopeful of our chief official. 1't'It K 1IONKST I.KAM'.ItS NEEUEH. Ect us have wise and good men for our United States Senators, and we may hope for much in national legislation; but in drunken carousals, ink stand battles, boodle hunting lob byists, self-seeking politicians to quarrel and light and kill time in Washington, things look dark. The most hopeful signs of the times is in the judiciary of our country. This has been the great bulwark between us and anarchy. What we need above everything is for the voice of the people to be heard and the yoke of political bossism to be broken. Our officers are supported by our i u, ,M-,n f.-iti in uiacs, a.iu 1-iK.u cm.

If the grand jury and other injuries do not find true bills and make honest and speedy convictions, let the voice of the peo ple be heard. If the judge does not do his duty, let the voice of the peo ple be heard. The old politician has lost the cracker oil his whip, and it is raveling; the steers are taking to the woods and some of them have thrown down the whip and are howl ing, "Sook, sookl"' in the most con ciliatory terms. The present politi cal round-up reminds me of a Texan corralling his ponies. The politicians are running the people in the con vention corner of the field, but it is very uncertain whether they will jump the fence in front, break ranks behind, or stand and take the lariat. I'Kor-r.F T1RKU OK I'.KI XO OoltKA I.I.KI). I think the people are getting tired of being corralled like Texan ponies, and there are going to be some old political tricksters lying in the fence corners, with the blood running out of their ears, before the convention or corralling season is over. The office seekers hardly know where they '"are at,' because it is so hard to locate the dear people now. Sam Jones. Debt l'iijiiiir. It is astonishing to us how light ly some people regard the payment of a debt. The IJible says owe no man anything and when a person owes an honest account and has the wherewith to settle it and goes off and spends the money for something else they commit a sin which they will have to answer for at the great day. Credit is a good thing but it is often abused. Cive a man an inch and he will take a mile. Some peo ple if they can walk in the store and have goods charged to them will buy that way much oftener than if they had to pay for them, when they got them. Credit in that instance is a curse to the human race. J. hey nev-j er stop to think of pay day and when you ask them to settle an account ' tjl0V ,et verv mad. Some of them ! even go so far as to say they wiu not pay, because you asked them to pay you what they honestly owe you.

One of the fundamental virtues of life is punctuality. Being on time J lias come to be an essential condi- j tion of civilization. A train behind) time five minutes loses a connection, and that may mean an enormous loss of time to passengers. Cod runs the universe on an absolutely punctual schedule. Were the earth or any orb in heaven to lag a hun dredth part of a second in its course, it would plunge the whole creation into confusion worse confounded. But everything is run on time, and j the punctual sun appears to the minute. Great leaders have been noted for this trait of character. Na poleon was ahead rather than behind i time with his armies. So was Wel- i . lington. Wesley was remarkably careful on this point. He could be counted on time to the minute. Washington insisted on it. His sec retary was five minutes late on one occasion. Washington told him that he must get another watch, or Wash ington would get another secretary. When you reflect on value of time, especially in this fast age, you can see at once that promptness is of the highest importance to success. Nev er be late. Keep your word. It is wrong to make an engagement and disregard it. Tie newspapers of a town are its looking glasses. It is here you see yourselves as others see you. You smile on them, and they smile back at you; you frown on them, and you are repaid in kind. They are the re flex of a town. If the town is doing business the newspaper will show it in its advertising columns. If the merchants are spiritless shiftless fel lows, whose stores are jumbles of junk and jam, the newspaper will show it by the lack of space they take. If you want the world to know of a live town let it be known through the local press. Some time ago the one-vcar-oM child of Mr. M. E.

Last Week in Trade Circles. New York, July C, 1S0G. Special CorrcsponJvnce. Business during the past week has continued very quiet. An impend-j ing holida' which in some depart ments covers a period of three days owing to Exchange adjournments from Thursday until Monday the seasonable diversion of attention to stock inventories and book settle ments, and the disposition to await the outcome of the Chicago Conven tion, have all combined to make a dull week in the wholesale markets. The industrial situation is also.un satisfacton', and the prevailing quietude will be intensified by the usual July stoppages of iron and other mills for repairs, as well as by the concerted curtailment of cotton goods production to relieve an over stocked market. Crop conditions are generally favorable, and but for the continued silver agitation trade recover- might be counted upon as in reasonably certain prospect in the near future. The revival of for eign demand for American securities and the consequent check to gold exports have been encouraging de velopments in the financial markets, which indicate the growth of confi dence abroad in the ultimate triumph of the cause of Sound Money. There is a general tendency to conserva tism in the business world, however, which keeps operations in all lines within closer limits than usual even for the midsummer period; and. this hesitancy is likely to be felt as long as there shall remain an' doubt in the minds of business people with re gard to the stability of the currency system. Business failures during last week, according to R. G. Dun fc Co., numbered 2."7 in the United States and - in Canada, against VX in this country and 24 in Canada for the corresponding week last year. The total for the second quarter of lStx; was 2W7 in the United States, against 2s." in the corresponding three months in IS'Xt. Cotton prices have declined l-ltof a cent per pound, as a result of good crop prospects' and dull trade. The unsatisfactory condition of the con suming industry is attested by the movement to bring about a big re duction in the output of the mills during the next two months. Ef forts to secure New England mill signatures to an agreement to shut down during alternate weeks of July and August have not yet been whol ly successful, but is expected that the assent of manufacturers control ling upward of 4,000.ooi spindles will yet be secured. This Eastern stoppage, in connection with the proposed curtailment of ."j0 per cent in stimulating business in cotton goods. The depression is noticeable only in the home trade division of the market. Exports of cotton man I ufacturcs suited to the requirements of foreign markets have been larger during the last six months than in any corresponding period on record with the exception of lS'.'l, and some mills hold advance orders covering their output for two or three months to come. Wheat prices are a shade lower than they were a week ago, but in the interval have been comparatively well supported. The crop reports from the Northwest have been less encouraging, and the advices from Winter grain districts have been va riable; but, on the whole, the re turns from crop sections do not in dicate quite as good results as had been anticipated. Some of the crop experts are now figuring out a yield of wheat a little smaller than that of last year, and the effect of these cal culations has been to arrest bearish pressure in the markets. Exporters have not increased purchases to any extent; yet the situation suggests the probability of a very fair foreign demand for American wheat during the coming season. Broomhall's re ports indicate that France, instead of having a surplus for export as had been predicted a short time ago, will be obliged to import about 10,000,000 bushels. The same authority re gards the crop situation in Russia, France and America as similar to that of ISO 4, when American exports reached a total of 145,000,000 bush els; but as European importers in that season were able to draw from big crops in Argentina and Austral ia and an Indian crop 80,000,000 bushels larger than that which is now being shipped, the inference is fair that a larger share cf their re quirements must during the coming year be taken from Russia and the United States. Corn prices have been depressed about 1 cent a bushel. "My mother, my wife and myself use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy whenev er troubled with a cough or cold. It is the medicine of our home.
