the premature development of the Northwest
as an element of the Senate. 1t is not to be
endured that New York, with 5000, 900 peo-
pie, and Pennsylvania with 4, $50, 900, should
be matched in enc branch of Congress by new
States which barely vie in the census returns
with an average ward in New York or Phila.
delphia. And when this sectional population
is also strictly partisan one aimed espsc-
tally at the controlling party of the South, it
becomes manifestly far more Questionable.
For its effect, if carried out, would only be
to embitter the rssiduary feelings of antip-
athy between the two sections. In marked
degree this would be the case if the subdiyis-
ion of Texas (even should that be desired by
the Texans themselves) were denied by some
assumption of Congressional authority, while
Dakota was chopped up into three or four

German national finance appears to be in
bad way. From the estimates submit
during the past session ordinary expense
has outrun income by 80, ,OOo. 900 marks (the
mark is 25 cents, and extraordinary expendi-
ture has exceeded the provision made for it
by 10000, 900 marks. This deficit of 49,
600, 900 marks follows one of 35, 900, 600 in
the last budget, and one of 1000, 900 in that
preceding it, which have not yet been COM
pletely covered. A total sum of 100000
marks has to be found to balance the budget.
The Finance Minister proposes to find 54,-
1000 by loan and to provide for the rest
and for repayment by levying additional con-
tributions on the federal States. Twenty
one millions, for instance, must be furnished
by Bavaria, 100000 by Wurtemburg, as
much by Baden, and more than 5000, 600 by
Alsacs-Lorraine. Prussia, whose contribu-
tion this year was 3S,OOo,0O0 marks, will
have to pay "a, ,OOO, 900, although there is
deficit in her own budget of 80, 500 900
marks. In point of fact, ever since tho con-
of the empire the military and naval
has been growing SO rapidly and
steadily that neither Germany nor Prussia
can make both ends meet, notwithstanding

The Demand for Nuts.
from the Cincinnati Commercially

During recent years the trade in foreign
and domestic r-lts has developed wonderfully.
New York city has become the most import
ant centre of the trade, the extent of which
indicates that people have either secured
patent stomaehs, or that indigestion has lost
its terrors. Africa used to supply US with
peanuts, sending them by shiploads, but our
Southern States have SO successfully cultiva-
ted this popular nut that we are now indepen-
dent. The states that furnish the bulk of the
supply are Virginia, North Carolina, and
Tennessee During the present season the
crop of Virginia was 1, 100, 600 bushels. of Ten
nessee, $50, 900 bushels, and of North Carolina,
12O, 900 bushels.
The nut probably the most popular after
the peanut is the pecan. The Texas pecan is
especially in demand. While a few years ago
several barrels of pecans abundantly supplied
the demand, carloads and invoices of one or
two hundred barrels are now not uncommon.
Of the other nuts the hickory Is among
the most popular. While in many localities,
in the Eastern States, they are be-
coming scarce, in the Western States they
are sufficiently plentiful to ship to New
York half dozen carloads week when
demanded.
That delicious nut the chestnut is becom-
ing scarcer every year, and there is much
difficulity in obtaining them sound in large
quantities. Their great popularity will prob
ably prevents their total disappearance, for
they are already being successfully cultivated,
and it is expected that in few years the cul-
tivated nut will equal in quality the high
priced italian chestnut.
Black walnuts and butternuts are regarded
as too rich and oily for table use; but the
former in largely used by confectioners. The
American hazel nuts are not an important
article of commerce, the flbert largely taking
their place. Only few English hazel nuts
find their way to the American market. 1t
is stated that growers in California comteme-
plate introducing number of varieties of nuts
native to Spain and Italy.
The trade in foreign nuts is enormous. The
demand is said to have tripled during the
last five years. AS everybody knows, the al
mond always has been In demand, and prob
ably always win be. The English" walnuts,
formerly called Madeira walnuts, mainly
come from France and Spain, the English
crop being consumed at home. They have
been successfully raised in the States on the
Pacific coast The Brazil nuts are kind of
s.linked grease long drawn out" "a few of
them go long way. For cocoanuts the
demand is steady and SO immense that our
dealers feel safe in buying them by the hundred
thousand The process of desiccating them
has widened their family use, and they are
now faYorite ingredient of pies, cakes and
candies.

Weather Prophet Vennor says ''The Sc
lection of 1877 as the weather cycle likely to
return again this year (1ss1) was the result
of considerable forethought and comparison.
This was done as long ago as June, 1880, when
I warned the public of an early and severe
winter up to February. I claim to be able to
do this again; consequently my weather fore
cast may be made of practical use, and be even
of greater service to the masses than the

ment meteorological ofices.'

tion. It's circular states that the causes of
great many social disorders and misfortunes,
indeed almost all of them, stare congenital.
People who are born with theft and murder

it is insisted that ''the public good requires,
as essential conditions of its own peace,
safety and welfare, that the citizens of the
future shall not come to their social tasks
burdened in advance with inherited tenden-
cies to disease or vice or crime; for, on be.
coming public burdens such citizens only re-
act the wrong first committed against then.''
This is all true enough, but the Institute will
have difficulty in carrying out it's ideas.
The New York Journal Of Commerce is not
at all in favor of adding four new States to
the northwestern group. Among its objec-
tions is that the plan is the offspring of sec
