Dally Democrat ONLY ONE WAYTOSTCTEKsl. There U eiilv one way t be truly suc ctksful.anU that U to deserve it. No man can ever hope tD be successful unless by hit own personal effort lie ha worked his war to a position -where success must crown his efforts. Those men who haro been the most succesful and have made not only a reputation for wealth and in fluence, but a name that will last through coming ages, have been those who were ambitious and determined, who never al lowed the discouraging and disheartening failures in a single instance to overcome them, or turn them from the course they were pursuing. Most of them have been men who had to work hard and diligently for every penny they earned. With every avenue open.with every op portunity at hand, with equal chances for all, It it very strange how few really suc cessful men there are. In a recent issue we gave the names of some of the prom inent men of the day, all of ivhom began rife under circumttancet and conditions not at all flattering, and yet who, by their An individual efforts have made a mark, and have been tuccetsful to an eitentthat it the envy of many a laboring man.whose condition it far lest premising than wat theirs. It it true that not all men are en dowed with the tame facultiet and ability for business that were these. Yet even In their cases, it was more a question of de velopment than of endowment. They had to deserve success before they attained ii. Too maoy young men are apt to think that because they are not successful it not their fault, but rather the result of circum stances, and become discouraged or dis heartened after a few atlempti.orcoaclude that fortune and fate are against them.and give up the struggle at the beginning of the battle. There it many a young man to-day who is plodding along, simply existing.who has all the ability and necessary qualities of character to make himself a name and fortune.at lasting and as large as is the lot of any. And yet, because he hat not de veloped these qualities aad taken advan. tage of their aid to forward his ends, he is still struggling along, cursing fate and be moaning his lack of fortune and position. There it many a man among the crowd that strugglet for a livelihood in the mill or at the desk who has within him all the natural characteristics that are requisite to a career of wealth and successin the 6ense 'that some of our prominent men are sue cessful, and It is no one's fault but their own, that they are not enjoying it. There is only one way to success, and that is ky personal effort and application which de serve lt,aid by which alone it can be won. Frank Carpenter.tho traveler and newt, paper correspondent, just back from trip around the world, is an odd looking chap, as slim as a fence rail, with tomewhat un gainly figure, startling red hair and mus tache and homely face. He it a persistent and voluminous writer and a rapid talker. He lives in Washington. The perfected Salt Trust, fostered by the tnrifl and linked with "British gold," is the 'ast and greatest of the "private affairs" for monopolizing the control of a universal neces sity which Mr Bisine pooh-poohed last year. It is a curious contrast to present torn perance legislation that Massachusetts by statute less than one handred yeara ago exempted from taxation for five yeart "all brew houses wherein shall be made one hundred barrels of ale or beer annually." The reaton for this exemption wat that theto manufacturers afforded a market for barley, and thut promoted husbandry, be sides furnishing a valuable article for ex port A further reason will sound strar.ee ly to temperance people now. It wat that the wholesome qualities of these malt li quors are promotive of public health, and that they are the best means of preventing excessitc use of spirituous liquors. Such conclusions of people lest than one hun dred years ago showt the great advance that temperance has made. Statistics show that per capita the use of strong liquors in this country is much less than it was in the lden tiaae. Two republican daily newspapers will be ettablished in Little Rock,Ark.,thls month the Frogrris and the Jttfisttr. The Pfgrtas will be published by a $20,000 lock company, with W A Webber ts edi tor, and the gugisltr will be under the editorial control of J M Johnston, of Kan sas, and W Jasper Blackburn, of Little Rock. It is understood that these papers will be the organs, respectively, of the anti-Clayton and the Clayton factions of the Arkansas republicans, and when they are in full blast lively times may be ex. ptcted. To day we publish 15,000 newspapers in the United Statcs.three times more than any other country ,and over a third of the combined issue of the whole world. Our circulation gives f.ur papers a week to each family of five in this country. From 1850 to 1890, the growth of tiewspapert in the United States was five hundred per rent, while the Increase in population was but one hundred per rent. What higher tribute could be paid to the Intelligent en teiprise of American journalists ? In a half page advertisement in one of our exchanges, of a dry goods merchant, is this sentence : "Our newpapert are the lifeof our city and are breadwinners for the merchants." There is a whole volume in this sentence. A city or town without one or mere live tiewspapert is not worth the tpaco it occupies. A newspaper.rlghtly conduc:ed, It worth more to a town or community than thousands of dollars in rested In any other enterprise. This it the season of the year when the e li or writes column of summer resort eilitorialt and works fifteen hours per day. Ohio ought to be good lighting ground for the Democracy this Fall, with Forakcr renomi. nated on a platform that even goes so far as to indorse Corporal Tamer's rampageous career I in the Pension office. Somebody who recently saw Ex Senator Kid bleberger, of Virginia, in Washington says that "his face wore a very sober look," This is un usual, but encouraging. I)r Mary Walker threatens to join the Dein orratic party, L'on't. The-e are already enough breaches in the Pemocratic ranks.
