New York Tribune: Sound financial
ideas are permeating the west much fast
er than is generally believed. Evidences
of it cropped out in the recent debate
on the three per cent. funding bill. On
the last day of its consideration Mr..
Price, of Iowa, said among other things:
"What have the banks donep They
have made a market for the government
bonds, and made it at the solicitation OF
the government, for the purpose of aid
ing it in refunding its debt That was
all forgotten and the hue and cry was
raised against them. The trouble was
that, under the existing law, shysters
could not establish a bank. The neces-
sary prerequisite was some money, and
that did not suit some gentlemen. They
would like to flood the country again
with wildcat, red-dog and stump-tail
money" That is quite encouraging
talk from the representative of the state
that sent two members of the Greenback
party to the late congress.

Secretary Blaine has begun his diplo-

PERsEvERASCE.-The Chinese have a
capital illustration of the power of
perseverance. One of their country
men, who had been making strenuous
1fforts TO acquire literary information,
discovered by difficulties, at last gave
up his book in despair. As he returned
to manual employment he saw a woman
rubbing q crowbar on a stone. On in
quiring the reason, she replied that she
was in want of a needle, and thought
she would rub down the crowbar ill she
got it small enough. Her perseverance
provoked him 10 make another Trial, and
he succeeded in obtaining the rank of

Evidences multiply that President
Garneld's inaugural has made most
favorable impression in the south. All
the leading journals praise it and accept
its declarations. This Is reassuring in
the highest degree. What he said about
the south was manly, clear and uncom-
promising, and it was said in spirit
which showed that he was determined
to stand by his word. Yet the south,
which refused to be conciliated by the
presence Of an Old Line Wing in the
cabinet, likes this vigorous talk, and
for the flrst time shows . desire to leave

The deep solicitude manifested by the
anti-prohibitiUnists OF Kansas touching
the alleged restrictions of the new tenn

the sacrament, should suggest to Bob
Ingersoll and his followers the propriety
of entering an emphatic protest against
the changes made in the text of the Bible
by the committee on scriptural revision.

most reckless iconoclast may not despise

THE PLEASURES or ECoRoMY.-In
the practice of economy there Is mix
ed satisfaction. When one has a de-
sire TO purchase what he can do without,
and has not the ready money to spare for
it, consider whether there may not be
more real comfort without it than with
it, when not quite certain whence the
money is coming to pay the indebted
ness. In the end the pleasure will be
found on the side of doing without the
wishest-for thing. Doing this once and
again for months one will be surprised
in seeing how much has been saved.
Thus the poor man finds happiness in
economy, though it might be misery to
the rich man who thinks he can dispense
with il. Honorable and consistent econ
omy is never followed by regret.

The champion bee-keeper lives very
appropriately, in Teeton. Cal. and bears
the not unfamiliar name of Jones. In
the year 1879, from 800 colonies of bees
he obtained $4,000 pounds of honey, and
in 1880, from 400 colonies he obtained
10000 pounds worth $1,000, and the
latter was bad year for honey. During
the latter year he obtained 600 new colo
MES from the 400, and commences 1881
with /, 600 colonies of bees, valued at
$1,000 Independents of the cost of the
hives. Mr. Jones says he will clear at
least $4,000 this year, unless some un-
foreseen accident occurs.

FAIIURE-One fruitful source of fail

of purpose. There will be adverse winds
in every voyage, but the able seaman
firmly resists their influence, while he
takes advantage of every favorable breeze
to speed him on his course. So in our
aims and persuIts we shall find much to
counteract them, much to draw away
our attention from them; and, unless we
are armed with a steadfast purpose that
subOrdinates the lesser to the greater,

CHICAGO, March 9-The rapid appre,

WASHINGTON, March 6.-The Star

whose business renders them familiar
with the capital and with the incomings

of claim against the government which
must receive congressional sanction be-
fore it can be paid is known as an un-
fortunate individual. The claim often
proves itself curse to its owner, to his
family, and frequently to his descen-
dents. Regarding it as just, the owner
feels and believes that congress must
