A DAILY
THOUGHT.
Have we not all, amid life's petty
strife,
Somo pure ideal of a noble life
That once seemed possible? Did we
not hear
The flutter of its wings, and feel
near.
And just within our reach? It was.
And yet
.We lost it in this daily Jar and fret.
And we live idle In a vague regret.
But still our place Is kept, and it will
wait,
Beqdy for us to fill it soon or late;
No star is ever lost we once have
spen,
Ve always may be what we might
have been. —Adelaide Proctor.

Everybody believes the negro troops
allot up Brownsville except Foraker
and Booker Washington, and Booker
aint doing much talking along that
line. Foraker must feel awful lone

The- average farmer cannot under

with which he rushes Into the breach

rhe telegraphers strike Is over.
Host of the offices have been closed
up and the company has gone out of
business. That is the situation at
ninety per cent of the towns of Geor

the people stand for such a state of
affairs.
Many good things are being printed
about Judge Horace Holden, ofGalns-
ville, recently appointed to a place
on the Georgia Supreme Bench. The
appointment seems to awaken no
atticism, such as accompanied the
announcement that ex-Judge Hines
would be given the berth.
' Tile third income bond" holders at
Savannah are wary about entering
into an agreement to test in the
the refusal of the Central to

tankers are working to that
ut the Georgia holders want
ormatlon before proceed-
lu any great controversy it Is es
sential to start with the facts clearly
before the disputants. At present
there is a decidedly angry contention
between the financiers of Wall street,
on the one hand, and the President,
on the other. The President declares
that financiers have deliberately
brought about a reduction in the
price of securities to*scare the ad
ministration away from prosecution
of malefactors and into giving help
to the money centres. The financiers
deny any such assumption, holding
that they 'are the chief iosers and are
not likely to punish themselves
reducing the market price of securl
ties to the extent of $3,000,000,000 for
any reason whatever.
The unquestioned fact is that
spite of the volume of money
the country it Is exceedingly difficult
to borrow It for the needs of busi
ness. Immense liquidation in recent
weeks has reduced the loans for spec,
ulative purposes, but still the short
age is so great that New York city
contemplates increasing the interest
paid on Its bonds to 4 1-2 per cent, to
attract buyers. Dally commercial
concerns with large assets are mak
ing assignments simply because mon
ey cannot be secured to carry on bus
iness. ' Fortunately, .these sporadic
instances of commercial faiurc have
not developed Into anything savoring
of a panic. What the average man
is most interested in is the state of
trade throughout the country. Do the
ordinary currents of business reflect
the conditions at the speculative cen
tres? To answer this question i
Chicago bank sent out queries to 30,-
000 business men and corporations
all over the country, and the answers
are Important.
The replies are practically unani
mous in saying that business Is not

only good at present, but that orders
are coming In sufficient to indicate
more than a normal trade this fall
The only complaint is lack of money
to carry on business In some centres,
but the banks are in nearly all cases
refusing loans for speculative pur
poses and aiding thfe commercial
world as far as is possible. Still there
Is not money enough, and the reason
is not far to seek.
There Is scarcely a business house
In the country that does not require
more money to do business now than
it did a few years ago. The cost of
materials for manufacture Is In.
creasing rapidly, wages are higher,
and of course more money Is re
quired t o do the same amount of bus
iness based on the same actual pro
duct. But in nearly every case the
product'is much enlarged. The man)
Arm 1 or corporation which could get
along with borrowing $50,000 must
now have nearer $100,000 and may
make no greater profit. This is
where the shoe pinches. More busi
ness to do and less money to borrow.
It would be the same If there was no
Wall street and no speculation. With
every decline In confidence there is a
loss in credit and .over 65 per cant of
business Is done on credit
