It is Coming. “Public utilities nust belong to the people,” in bold black faced type, is the motto that stands at the head of the first editorial column of the Denver Daily News. The News is the largest and most influential newspaper between the Mississippi and the Pacific coast, and is unwearied in its presentation of the doctrine of public utilities. The Democratic leaders are using all their power to sidetrack the money question in favor of—well, just any old thing. Back in the seventies the Greenbaokers came near turning over the nation to the keeping of reformers. The Democrats swore to them they wonld help them ont if the Greenbaok ers would help them in. The Green backers bit. The country got the Bland-Aliisoti act as a compromize. In 1880 times had been improved just as they now are, and the money question was sidetracked for the tariff question Then all the people were told that all we needed was a change of the tariff la #s and free trade be instituted. On that plea Grover, the Fat, was elected. The tariff was changed. In 1893 came on a worse panic than that of the sev enties. Suppose the money question be again sidetracked without a radical change being effected, do.’ytn suppose that the trere change to anti-imperial ism will avert another panic? Will the Popmists take the same bait that the Greenbackers did? Shall we be snch tools as not to learn by the experience of our sires?

The first indication of croup is hoarse ness, aud in a child subject to that dis ease it may be taken as a sure sign of the approach of au attack. Following this hoarseness is a peculiar rough cough. If Chamberlain’s Cough Rem edy is given as soon as the child becomes hoarse, or even after the croupy cough appears, it will prevent the attack, It is used in many thousands of homes in this broad land and never disappoints the anxious mothers. We have yet to learn of a single instance in which it has not proved effectual. No other pre paration can show'such a record—twen tyE&ve years’ constant nse without a failure.

Georgia, who with his partner, makes from $15,000 a year at truck farming gives the funda mentals to his suoces It will be inter esting to read and perhaps will give yon some ideas that will be of advantage. Mr. Merriam says; ‘ •In complying with your request for a short sketch of the methods which have contributed to oar sucoess in truck farming, 1 wish to say that I do not re gard our success as at all phenomenal but believe that it can be duplicated near any good market in this coantry ( and there are many which are as good, or better, than Atlanta. We had the advantage of a good location for our garden, to start with, and the futher advantage of being without any capital, besides a few hundred dollars. I say advantage because I have seen so many instances where people went to garden ing with plenty of capital, bnt without knowledge of the business, and sunk every cent they put into it. The discur aging effect from the loss of money seems to paralyze the energies and warp the judgment so that nothing rucceeds; therefore unless a man knows his busi ness thoroughly and right where to pat every dollar to make it profitable, he had better be without capital, and start small. This is what we did. We star ted small, and instead of trying to have a large general garden all at once, we made a specialty of one or two things; we studied these special crops, both with reference to themselves and our market, and we made them extra fine. This gave us control of the market along these lines, aud a better chance for oth er things as we gradually worked into them. “There are so many minute points which contribute to success in any bus iness that, it is hard to tell which are the most essential. A few that I know have helped me are First, I have a con genial, honest, hard working partner. He attends to the sales department of the business, and keeps the books (our books cost us $11). “Second. I have been exceptionally fortunate in my success in dealing with men, both white and black, in bringing out the best there is in them, getting them enthusiastic about the work, and making my interests theirs. This I consider one of the main points, for I have seen a man’s business entirely wrecked for no other reason except that he could not manage help. “Third. We make it a point to know what we are doing. We make a study of every cron, itk needs, the soil best adopted to it, and the fertilizers req. uired to give the best results. Then we study every piece of land we have, and try to have the conditions just right to make it do its best. The failure of a crop is more often caused by its treat ment than from outside couditious. Mistakes are caused by ignorance, and ignorance is the cause of failure nine times out of ten in any business.” W H Gunter, P. M., E B Gibbs, Dairyman. Jersey, Ga , A L Mitchell.
