Jiulircs iiml Justice.
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

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.

the article was nicked or ticked off
the list. The open air entertain-'

Eviiiirdisl Nam Jones Writes on Hie Sub
ject of Honesty in I'olitics.
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

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

The hope of the country lies in the I

and more are in the present uphea

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

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.
People of that calibre are not alllict

Timet nality.
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.

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.
