The American Social Science Associa.
tion copgratulates Itself, in It's annual re-
port, on doing SO much during the past
year, and proposes to do more this year.
It's divided into FIVE sections, Educa.
tion, Health. Jurisprudence, Finance, and
Social Economy. The Executive Com
mIttee, which holds It's sessions at Penn.
berton square, Boston, desires TO put itself
into communication with all the societies
and oil the individuals that are lntereeted
In any Of these subjects. The views Of
thinkers on all OF them will be gathered,
ind will be published by the Association
from time to time. Branch societies will
be formed throughout the country. More
members are urgently needed. The cost
Of membership is but small, and we know
Of no way in which a few dollars can be
better spent in promoting scientific re-
search than by sending them TO the Asso.
citation.

Canal from 81. Loui, to rerre Hau,e

TOLEDO, Feb. 3.-The Blade contains
an article arguing the propriety Of con-
structing canal from 81. Louis to Terre
Haute, about 100 miles, and there to con.
meet with the Wabash 8 Erie canal, thus
atordiDg direct water route between
the great producers OF the west and the
Eastern and European markets. Il Is
claimed that the Wabash & Erie canal
can be properly enlarged, and the other
to st. Louis constructed At a cost not to
exceed one.third Of the expense OF any
other route afording so essential advan.
tages. The subject has been under in.
Vestlgation by shippers, and It Is regarded
as the best solution of the problem of the
cheap transportation question yet offered.
The Government will be urged to take
some action for the purpose Of obtaining
an estimate oi the cost OF the improve.
ment, and its advantages.
A man named T. r. Parke was run
over and killed bya switch engine on the
middle ground last night.
Hugh Hill, carpenter, while at work
on the new Wabash elevator this after.

country is now suffering has had a de-
pressing effect upon most manufacturing

pressed than any other. In this emer.
gency the temptation TO complain Of
"hard times" Is very great and entirely
excusable, but with this temptation comes
also the opportunity to contrast the con.
