BUSINESS ANOMALIES
From the Chicago Times.

rTOul tnt OHlCasO Lines.
The advertisements of newspaper in
good standing are a unique reflex of a
community's most varied and intricate
interests and endeavors. All forms o!
life are touched with broad crayon lines
by these shifting outlines. There is
journal in Philadelphia which has for
years circulated enormously because Of
the variety and immensely of its adver-
tisements. But little else finds place in
its columns. To-day it circulates am ong
the prim half million of Philadelphians
and through the State of Pennsylvania
five copies to one of every other journal.
Nor is this wonderful dispersion accoun-
ted for by the commercial OF trade as
pect of advertisements. For ten who
read the advertising pages to expedite
business negotia tions or secure bargains
there are fifty con them over to follow
the cross currents of life; to lose them
selves IN fascinating rever1e over the
manifold subtitle suggestion they give of
life and enterprise; of success and fail
ure; of happiness and misery. Pictures
sometimes in chalk lines, sometimes in
chalk lines, sometimes in delicate hair
touches, of the joys ard sorrows that
the INTERPRETATION of human interests
must necessarily bring about where
civilized communities exist The adj
vert1sing columns are a sort of sensitive
plant, rejecting as truly the atmosphere
of success or failure as the garden shrub
change from rain to sunshine night to
darkness. Advertisement reading, like
relish for lobster or shrimp salad, is a
cultivated taste, which grows on its own
encouraging, and the truth OF this is
attested IN the London, Paris, Berlin,
and Vienna journals where to one column
of news or miscellany there are ten of
advertisements. To an American the
sight of the prodigious blankets Of in
conceivably diverse announcements is
encouragement which would rain the
circulation of an American journal. But
to the foreigner, educated in the fiuct-
uatlng needs OF life in thickly settled
states, it is an irresistible invitation. In
any public place in London, or Paris or
Vienna, or Berlin, the casual reader will
be marked turning first to the advertis-
ing pages as women IN America turn
lrst to marriages aud deaths, and men
to divorces and ballet chronicles. An
ordinary issue of London Journal con-
tains hardly less on an average than
three pages of advertisements to one of
reading matter. 4 stranger taking up
such a shees Is at once lost in its won
derful suggestions. 1t is a revelation of
the actual life OF community, more I'M
speskably eloquent than formal descrip-
ton. There is no mirror which so ex-
actiy reflects the status of home indus
try, trade, and commerce as the adyer-
tislng columns OF q prosperous and wide
ly circulated newspaper

AN UNPRoFrrABLE VENTURE.-Says
The Chicago Times: ''The venture of
Messrs Burch & Bruce, of Racine, in
sending their vessel, the brig Mechanic,
across the Atlantic, has proved unforto
nate in the extreme. From the mate
and cook of the vessel, who arrived here
only yesterday, it is learned that she
had the misfortune to drag her anchor
during q storm in the British channel
and come in contact with French craft
inficting considerable damage upon the
latter The captain having no funds on
hand to pay for his damage, the Me-
chanic was ibeled and sold under the
hammer, bringing fraction over three
hundred pound sterling, while the coal
with which she was laden sold for only
sixty pounds sterling. The vessel was in
arrears to her crew, and the amount
realized from the sale was so small that
they got nothing. Consequently the
mate and cook applied to the United
States consuls and were forwarded first
to Philadelphia, where they had to wait
until funds could reach them from
home before coming to Chicago. The
men are both residents of Racine, and
expected to proceed home last night.
TheMechanic was sold in a Welch port.

The McGregor Qa.) county officials
have broken open their safe and learned
the worst. When MIR. Frank Kyle scared
off he took the safe-combination and
several ducats, and, when his colnpan-
ions and coadjutors in running county
matters sent for the safe-dealer to open
the door of the same, he called attention
to his little bill of 81, 300, and proposed
to take the burglar proof in payment.
AS the strong box was supposed to con-
tain some $40, 900, the officials reluc-
family settled the bill, and when the
safe was opened the sum of $65.3S was
found to reward their investigations.

ENGLAND's attitude on the Eastern
question becomes more threatening with
each advance made by the Russians to-
ward Constantinople. The opinion is fast
becoming general in Europe that sooner
or later England will take hand in the
war. The movement of troops to Gal
ipoli is regarded as bordering on actual
hostilities. It is quite certain that the
Russians will not be allowed to enter
Constantinople with English opposition.

ulation of probably near 100000,
soil and climate the most desirable,
both in character and amount, with the
most convenient and ample water COM
munication, extending from the East to
the West, and from the North to the
South, and the whole country filed with
the network of railroads in all directions
probably one-third of our population IS
without adequate remunerative employ
ment, though the soil is most fruitful,
crops abundant, and all productions
bear fair price. The bare statement
of these facts demands our serious at
tention. The people are starving amid
abundance. Capital is Enthusiastically
employed. Our railroad companies are
failing to pay dividends and are falling
into the hands of receivers, and their
employees are striking for want of just
remuneration, and the property is des-
troyed by violence, while the transpor-
tation of the country is interrupted.
Capitalists tell us 'Money was never
more abundant" and we know the
country is full of able and willing hands
who cannot find renumerative employ
ment.
One would think that, where there
was capital that needed investment and
skilled and other labor which was star
wing for employment, there ought to be
no difficulty in bringing the two forces
together. There is mismanagement
somewhere, and it is time for men to
pause and consider where the trouble

THE Democratic press is more deeply
interested in the question as to who
will be the nominee of the Republican
party for Governor than that of the
Democratic nomination. This is emil
nently proper, since the Republican
nominee will be the next Governor,
while it is of little consequence who is
nominated by the Democrats will
be put up to be knocked down. AS
the Democratic citizens are to be
under the administration of Republi-
can Governor. it is their right to can
vass the ante convention probabilities.

In Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wis
eonsin, and Kansas the spring wheat is
coming on splendidly, the fine weather
for the past few days having practically
placed the crop almost beyond the reach
of harm. The same fortunate conditions
have done world of good to the strug-
Cling corn in Illinois, Missouri, and
other States, enabling the farmers to
done by heavy rains. All other grains
seem secure for a beautiful yield, and
the best of it is that what is now q fiat
tering prospect will soon be a certainty.

gether in full harmony upon every SUBJ

The troubles of the Is. & O. r. r.
Co. cause little sympathy for that cor
poration here. There is good deal of
human nature in Washington among
the loyal people, and in consequence
thereof they will not forget or forgive
the innumerable wrongs OF this Rail-
road inflicted not only upon this city,
but upon the general governmentduring
and after the war Mr.. Garrett in the
past III all his reports laid great stress
upon the $l0,000,000 reserve of his
Rail Road and yet every dollar of that
reserve is the fruit of as deliberate rob
berry of the general government as the
proceeds of Pacific r. r. Credit Mobiliar.
There is an Interesting history in this
which L will ventilate fully hereafter.
Until the Penn. Central r. r. forced a
II. r. connection in 1870 with washing
ton the B. & 0. r. r. literally exacted
tribute from Us. For instance, it charg-
ed as much freight upon carload of
-four from Baltimore TO Washington a
distance of 40 miles, as from Chicago to
Baltimore, 1000 miles. In every posi-
bile way it sucked our life blood. It's
profits came wholly from what robbed
us and the government, and poverty
seized it when competition compelled il
to lessen its exactions.

An EIGHT PAGE PAPER.-The Cali
fornia Spirit Of the Times comes to us
this week in new and improved form,
beng now Issued as an eight-paga paper.
The paper, under its present management
is credit to the press of this coast, and
we are pleased to notice its improved ap-
pcarance. In TIE leading article Mr..
Boruck announces himself as a candidate
for United States Senator to succeed
Sargent. We take no stock in the fight
for any particular Republican for Sena
tor, believing that ii we can carry a Re-
publican Legislature the State will be
tittTgly, represented, and that making
fight for particular men at the juncture
is injudicious such, at least, proved to
be the case in 1867. If Boruck should
carry off the prize the State will have a
live Senator in all things where her in
terests are concerned.

er-General was Democrat, but ceased
to be one when ho accepted position

not care what he is, and are certainly
not chagfincd at his detection, since

THE CITY OF DEsoLATIoN. - The
town of Darwin, in lnyo county, ought

from the description given of it in pri-

of which are drinking saloons. 1t con
tains no school house nor any church
building. There is no timber growing
within radius of fifteen miles of the
place ; nor is there any water to be OBJ
tanned excepting that which is pedded
out by the Darwin Company at the rate
Of two and half cents per gallon. The

DECIDED AT LAsT.--The Supreme
Court has at length given decision in
the cases involving the right to the seat
from the Fourth Congressional District
The conclusion reached by four of the
five Justices is that ;he Secretary of
State has no document to consult in can
vassing the vote for Congressman but
the abstract Of the vote as counted by the
Board of Supervisors and certified to by
the Clerk under seal. This decision gives
Pacheco the right to the seat, and is in
accordance with strict justice, but we can
well wonder why it was not delivered be-
fore.
