There is no surer indication that the
present tide of business prosperity has
come to stay considerable time than the
rise in real estate in the large cities. This
kind Of property is not subject to sudden
fluctuations, and cannot be forced up by
q mere temporary or fictitious activity in
trade. The increase in the rentals OF
stores and Offices, reported daily in the
newspapers, and the brisk market for
building lots and dwellings, show plainly
that the business OF all the large cities is
in healthy condition. Among the pur-
chasers OF houses are said to be not few
capitalists from other sections OF the
country, who have concluded to transfer
themselves and their possessions to places
where hustle and buoyancy usually make
their first start. II is In the large cities
that traffic and great profits first show
themselves and TO these centres are the
country sections gradually drained, until
the current decade winds up with an
OVERLOOKING city population and general
scramble back TO the country and plain
living. Cities rapidly grow in prosperous
times and ten year seasons OF adventure
and enterprise, and shrink even more
quickly when the current OF trade halts
and turns backward. But there is no in
dication yet OF turn back. The season
OF "boom" has but barely begun.-Phita-
delphia Ledger Money article.

The national Poor House.

Prentice Multord In New York Graphic.
The mortality so prevalent among sena-
tors and congressman Of late years is pro-
badly due to the close, bad air Of their re-
spective chambers. It might be improved
by issuing wash tickets to the frequenters
Of the gentlemen's galleries. Theaverage
public in these masculine localities re-
minds one Of the great waiting room OF a
London hospital OF morning, while the
penurious ailing are being drafted off ac-
cording TO complaints. It's the finest show
apparently Of gentlemen Of leisure with
means on the continent. This might be
accounted for did q national poor-house
exist in Washington. But perhaps it does.
am not saying that Washington is not
the most beautiful city in America, except
small parts OF Boston. II Is grand in pro-
lection lin possibilities, in certainties, in
views, in improvements, in pure, balmy
atmosphere, free already from the rough,
raspy edge OF our Northern winter; in
good whisky at reasonable prices, in liter
airy hotel chambermaids who wear eye
glasses and read all the story papers; 1t Is
as whole the grandest metropolitan de-
development OF this confounded continent
OF ours, only It is still unfinished like the
Washington monument.

An opinion By nrother GLASS.

Wel!sburg News
Taylor strauder, colored man who
killed his wife in Wheeling some years
ago, and has had several trials, is in a fair
way to escape the hangman. He was tried
and found guilty by a jury; but because
there was no colored man on the jury ex.
ceptions were taken, and his case was
taken to the United States Supreme Court
This court recently decided in the nigger's
favor. II Strauder had been white man
he would have been hung long ago. A
white jury, therefore, cannot convict a
colored man, but black Jury can convict
a white man. So says the United States
Supreme Court. A Niger, therefore, is
better than white man.
