The st. Thomas Purchase

The complications connected with tho
st. Thomas purchase are attracting
much attention In III own official cir
cles aud at several Of the legations. 1t
has become known that Nj. Seward
was the first to apply to the Danish
Government to sell the island. Deii-
mark refused. not wishing to appear de-
sirous to part with territory, aud init
mated that it could not we'll be done
with q proper regard for her dignity.
After Russia agreed to sell Alaska this
opinion changed. Mr.. Seward made a
new application and Denmark agreed to
sell If the people Of 81. Thomas desired
1t, and q treaty vas concluded. With
out waiting for the ratification, MI.
Seward urged that Denmark should Or
der an immediate vote III the question.
This was done aud the people agreed.
Now, although the Senate did not act,
it Is understood that Dennark's argu-
ment Is that in treating with this gov
eminent she could only know its
Executive head, and "a a formal treaty
has been concluded on her part exactly
rs requested by the State II APARTMENT
that our government is in honor bound
to take st. Thomas. After a formal
vote of the people, Denmark does not
desireto take them back. The whole
matter will come up in Congress ut an
early day. 1t is understood that Mr..
Sumner desires the question If how far
the national faith has been pledged by
Mr.. Stewards action in the case to be
passed upon by the House.

Sell Your Hogs.

In this market, yesterday, hogs sold
AZ high as $l2.OO per 100 lbs. net. A few
weeks since, through these columns,
when the price wins $500, net, farmers
were ad vised not to sell. Do not stand
Oh the order Of selling, but sell ut once.
Do not kill pork for home use, but sell
the last hog. In addition, turn in every
pig that can be htted by the middle Of
March aud pour In the corn. Hogs may
not he as high in March ~ they are
now, but they will be high enough to
pay u good price for corn.
1t used to be considered that q barrel
of flour and 100 pounds of pork should
bring q bout the same amount of money.
Now the price Of 100 pounds ofpork will
buy tWo barrels Of -four. There Is some
thing wrong here. We have had ainod-
crate crop Of wheat and an immense
crop ofcorn. Their efore, 1t would seem
pork Is too high or wheat Is too low.
This point we shall not attempt to dis
cuss; but it is, undoubtedly, good time
to sell hogs. E''
Hogs are now selling at full SOS per
head, net. The packing ut the West, it
Is estimated, will reach three million
head. This, at SO per head, which is q
fair average, would reach SEC, OOO, 600.
This will be mainly circulated in five
States. 1t will so far toward helping
the people out Of debt. Sell your hogs,
then, farmers, and pay your debts. This
would make money easy, and then there
would be . better market and better
prices for other farm products. -CGncin-

CHRISTMAS in the city of Upton was

wonder that such il not more generally

been wont from time immemorial, in
Upton, "upon the wings Of love (for
goodies) to fly from groceree to grocery"
were not out in great numbers. and the

Pay your Small Bills.

.Es VIVA
PAY what you owe when you can"
aud particularly when there Is a "short-
ness" in the money market. The Gin
cinnati Gazette well says:
Money is said to he scarce. New
York dispatches say 1t Is close there.
Several millions in currency are shipped
every week to the West. It Is also
scarce in Third street. Currency is con-
stantly going to the country. Soon this
currency must begin to return to the
cities; it would be returning now quite
freely If people who receive it in ex-
change for produce were prompt in pay
ing their debts. Instead Of using it in
this way, however, there is a disposition
to hoard-to keep the greenbacks for
while to look at them. This 10 the eau
ofthe present scarcity Of money. The
same cause operates to a large extent in
the city. Here there is q scare about
the scarcity of money, and those who
have engagements in the future are dis
posed to hold on to the money that
comes into their hands. Thus creditors
who have small bills are put of from
day to day. This increases tile scare.
ut is impossible to collect money!" is
the general remark. Said a banker to
us yesterday, Urge the people to pay
their small bills. Five thousand dollars
let loose would pay all the small bills
floating about the city, and will make
money comparatively easy" If one
man will pay, that will enable another
to pay, and SO or to the end Of the chap
ter.
There is plenty of money. II people
would use what they have got in paying
their debts. Pay your small bills, and
thus the means will be furnished for
paying large ones.

THE NATIONAL INSURANCE CoMPA-
Sy.-Parties having property to insure
will be glad to learn that this eminent
~ sound Iowa Company is represented
here by q local agent. The figures
shown in the December statement of
the National must be equally satisfacto-

holders. The Davenport Democrat says
of this Company:
"The National Is the father of the
present wholesome insurance law ofthis
State, and was the first to comply with
its conditions. It's business lass been
conducted in that enterprising, cafe and
cautious that ever commands
success. 1t. has no liabilities, and per-
mits none to stand against it. Its loss
ca are paid upon presentation of salts

are yet smoking. This gives the policy
holders a chance to go ahead at Once;
and this ready promptness always begets
much satisfaction aud increased BUSH
ness"
For my further information call upon
Jesse James, local agent, who will show
facts and figures that will make any one-
feel safe who insures in the National.
