one of the soundest indications of
recovery from a period OF business de-
preston is renewed activity in leglti-
mate real estate transactions. There
may be, it is true, speculative ac-
tivitv in this, as in other species of
property. But when the sales are
largely for cash, and when men noted
for their shrewdness and caution, who
buy only for permanent investment,
are securing good properties at advanc-
ing figures, it is safe to conclude that
business is in fairly healthy condi-
ton and the outlook propitious.
SINCE it has become evident that
the third term movement has spent its
force, the Republicans in the Southern
States are expressing themselves
strongly in favor of the nomination OF
Mr.. Sherman, and several delegates
from the South will probably go to
Chicago pledged to support him. Ex-
Senator Conover, of Florida, is in
Washington, likewise Judge Mackey,
of South Carolina, and both these
gentlemen say their respective States
will be represented at the Republican
Convention by solid Sherman dele
cations.

THE conflict in Maine is finally over
The Fusion Legislature has said good
bye and gone home, with, however,
threat to return in August, which it
will hardly do The whole State of
Maine will feel better now that the
disturbance is over. There has not
been any very serious danger of blood
shed at any time, but the uncertainty
was such that business has been I'M
settled to disastrous degree and the
patience, of the people was entirely
worn out. 1t will be long time
before anything like this again occurs
in Maine.

writes Mr.. Proctor, ''seems to be re-
garded by many as necessarily un-
healthy, though ! believe the death
rate does not at present justify that
impression We often hear in Eng
land the proverb. a green Christmas
makes full churchyard,' and there
are statistical reasons for the idea thus
expressed; but, like most theories sug-
gested by the first obvious interpreta-
ton of statistical results, it is incor-
rect, or perhaps should rather say
that it is assuredly not established by
the evidence.

THE winter which is 80 ncglecting
Us here in America continues to cut
up high oldjinks across the water.
The recent thaw has been followed by
another cold wave, the relative in
tensity of which, az compared with
the cold of previous winters, may be
Judged from the fact that Lake Zurich
in Switzerland Is lroZen over, an event
which has occurred three times before
in the present century. The same
dispatch which relates this fact states
also that Lakes Lorat, Neufcbatel, and
Becune, and the river Arve, all like
wise in the land of William Tell, are
also frozen.
