FINANCIAL MATTERS.
The Philadelphia Record says: The mo-
ney market continues active, with decid-
ed tendency to increased stringency. The
buoyancy which was expected to follow the
Presidential election is not yet visible, and
politics, which for some months has almost
exclusively occupied public attention, must
now give way to other matters of vital i'm
portance to the whole country. Financial
questions will be the first to press for con-
siderstion. We must have greater stability
and entire freedom from treasury s'disere-
tion." Amendments to the national bank
ing act, experience has demonstrated, are
much needed. A great deal of the cum
bersome machinery which surrounds it has
proven inefficient, and some of its restric-
tons are useless. We need lighter balances
in the treasury to remove the temptation to
! constant interference in the money markets
aud attempts to regulate them in the inter
| est of speculation. We need lighter taxes,
much smaller revenue and more eeono-
mical expenditure. We need 9 mercantile
marine of our own, and we also need a
radical reform in the whole civil service.
| These are some of the financial questions
which should absorb the chief attention of
| Congress, which is to assemble within a
month. These are all vital questions, and
| we trust will no. be thrust aside to make
way for the thousand schemes of plumber
TO put money into the pockets ofindIyidu&ls
schemes for Initiating and contracting the
currency, and for shifting taxes to suit par
ticJllar interests to the injury Of others.
We may also be quite sure that members
Will keep their eyes on Wan street and
Third street, as has been the habit of their
predecessors. These are some Of the ele-
ments of strife that will go far toward dis
| turbiDg financial matters. The New York
Daily Bulletin, in speaking Of the pros
uect Of the assembling of Congress, says:
Country members and gentlemen repre-.
senting purely agricultural regions, one can
not forget, are constitutionally prone to
mischiev0us meddliug with financial and
| commercial questions about which they
know little or nothing, except that some
how or other there is money in them. This
meddling spirit does world of harm, and
our people have reason to fear it more than
anything else in Congressional future.
Keep that down, and we dare say every
thing will go on without serious accident.
The great business world, in this respect,
has no extravagant expectations. It only
wants to be let alone"

1 leant from out my two-pair back,
The after Don was mild
A cab pass'd by, and ON It's track
A little dirty child.
Cabby drives calmly through the slush,
With all unconscious mind,
The dirty child comes with q rush.
And chambers up behind.
Bis mates had look'd with careless eve
On all his efforts vain,
But now he's landed nigh and dry,
They burn with envlous pain.
The driver turns and plies the lash,
The child falls in the dirt,
And in puddle rolls eI-plash-
think he must be hurt
He turns awsy-that ragged boy,
He's ANYTHING but gay;
His little friencs they jump for Joy,
And go on with their playl
shook my head despondingly-
"Ah such is life, l guessi"
A man meets little sympathy
While struggling for success.
And when the back of Fortunes Car
He's clutchd-you'lI always find
How ready all his best frie d are
10 below, "Whip behind"
