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

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.
