J. I*. MOlUiAN AH AX OPTIMIST.
J. Plerponi. Morgan, in an intor
v ow In Chicago, ascribes his suc
c«o8 to the siigo atlv'cc of ills fath
er:
"Remember, my son, llmt any
one who Is a far of tho future of
this country wll go brok.. There
r;ay bo times when tminga aio dark
and cloudy in America, when un
eerta nty w II cauBo -omo to dis
trust and oth-rs to think there is
too much production, too much
building of railroads, and too much
J'volopment of ot.i. r enterprises,
(n such t'.nrws ro.nenvbor that, the
growth of tin* country wi I take care
<>/ all.”
1 he words of Morgan i ore were
prophet c. 'iLey are as prophetic
eday as they were whon J. P. Mor
gan was an asprlng youth. Just
now wo are pulling out, somewhat
slowly, but surely, of a period of
J.mnclal depression In manifestation
of which were a shortage in the cir
•ulatiag medium and u sagging mar
.to* The early mouths of 1909 may
not hod the conditions of 1906 re
stored. but with the tilled, soil of
he United States recording for 1908
‘-he production of the greatest crop
u history, r.nd with irrigation, rec
lamation, immigration and conser
vation working together to Increase
product vlty, the outlook is for ex
pans on within th' next half century
upon a scale undreamed of fifty
y-ars ago. Under a reformed gov
?mmental system there could be a
r^oiv* equable distribution of profits
based upon a squaivr deal to the
farmer and earn< r of or sala
*y» k-ut there i» more cold and rose
11 the dawn of tomorrow than there
•ias over been. The only real dau
r lies in a tendency toward lui
l.eria ism and militarism that takes
..e io.'iu of a demand for a burden*
; me and unnecessary increase in
armament, the natural result of
vhi'li would b- a tendency to be
t:v.e entangled in burdensome and
i a« t - :sary strife, if the year
» & finds the United States with
>. t r foreign possesions Instead of
: ■ \ *xed and expensive problems
1 v. h nsr arid r.reaa reclaimed,

afc.-.iu ural and mineral resources

It is reported to be absolutely
neceecary for the Kaiser to secure
money to pav his debts. Is It pos
sible that a king can do no trades

With the liquid south Jrlfting to

The president has moved that the
attorney general begin a 'movement
aganst an undeslrublo to bo known
by posterity as the pulverization of
Pultzer.
Cougrecs Is almost afraid to make
the president oinpty his pockets for
fear he will be found to have a con

to have to prosecute him.
Nellie Bly has come to the sur

Dropsical Oysters.
With a sneer the oyster opener point*

Rack shell.
“Somo fool,” said he, “has been try
ing to fatten up a batch of Saddle
Hocks with cornmeal. You might as
well try to Invigorate flowers with
jorned beef hash, liut It is n common
error to bellove that cornmeal or oat
meal will fatten oysters. I continually
find oysters with their shells stained
with those grains. It makes me laugh.
As a matter of fact, there U no such
thing ns fattening oysters. All you can
d* is swell them up with water, pre
cisely the same as water swells a
sponge. Yeu., put them la fresh water,
which, being less dense than the soft
they are accuntetaed to, by the princi
ple ef osmosis penetrates and distends
their tissues—gives them, as you might
sny, dropsy. For ray part, I don’t like
fattened oysters.’’—New Orleans Tliuee

by colored solJ’ers. Due or two ar

The addli ona* evld uco which the

;-on»'sts entirely of alleged confes

of the color d soldiers, supposed to
have been implicated. Nothing is
more certain that that men, who
know that they cannot be punished,
will often boast of oflfena s that'
they dd npt romm't and did not
share In. Tae two colored men wio
told of the r partldpancy 'in tihe
Brownsville riot, whi’e under the
Influence of l'quor find boasting to
their supposed friends, may have
told the truth, and may not. Wheth
er they did or not, It s not out of
the way to suggest that the power

might bo better employed than In

drunk In order to secure confess on
of any offense for which they have
already been tried and punished.—
