A Year of Prosperity.

NEW YORK, January Brad
streets Weekly, issued yesterday.
says, in its leading editorial, that
telegraphic advices from thirty. i've
Leading trade centres recount the
story of trade and industrial prosper
ity in this country for 1881. There
is, indeed, every reason to believe
that the conditions are so favorable
as to insure continuation of trade
and industrial activity throughout
1882 and beyond.
The summary at Chicago shows an
increase over 1880, the only drawback
being falling off in movement of
breadstuffs. The outlook for the
spring trade is reported good-L"uis-
vile reports an increase in trade and
marked activity in building. Leaf
tobacco business for the year was the
largest ever known there. The sum-
mary for st. Louis is about the same
as that for Chicago. Tine unseason-
able weather affected seriously the
fall trade at important points in
Minnesota. Throughout Michigan
the roads continue bad and collec-
tons are reported slow. These are
only incidental drawbacks, as in gem
eral the year has been very prosper
Gus for the Northeast, and this in
spite of short grain crops. Immigra.
ton has been a most healthful slim
illus for the Northwest. Coming east
the great Industrial activity is
brought into sharp relief.
The prosperity in manufacturing
industry existing everywhere is
perhaps the most marked character
istic of the commercial situation
and at present writing there are
no signs of lessened activity in
any direction. The year has brought
great benefits to the South in the
shape of rapid railway extension and
the general development of the coun-
try. The movement in general mer-
chandise at some of the leading South
ern trade centers has not been so
satisfactory.
1t will be remembered that the
Pacific coast was the last to feel the
Astounding prosperity of the country
at the seaboard cities. and this is
notably true of New York. Move
ment in general merchandise has been
fairly unprecedented-no previous
summer in New York ever saw such
activity in the dry goods trade, and
this statement will in a great degree
hold good for other trades. The for
bidding feature has been the falling
off in the export trade, consequent
upon the short crops and the specu-
lation for high prices, but there are
sufficient reasons for believing that
the Astounding resources of the United
States will speedily afford remedy
for the impaired export trade.

War to the Knife.

The New Year opens with a COM
plete transformation of the scene in
the Democratic camp. Two men
whose love towards each other (po-
litically speaking) in the beginning
of the year just closed exceeded that
of the love of David and Jonathan,
are friends no longer. The leading
political event of the last days of the
old year was the open rupture be-
tween Mayor Whyte and Governor
Hamilton, and the separation of the
two leaders is of such a character
that a union between them is not
likely to be effected in the near flu
ture. Hope ran high after the No.
vember elections that, with the DOW
erful aid of the Mayor of Baltimore,
the Independent Democrats would,
with the aid of the Republicans. or
ganize the two branches of the Gen.
eral Assembly and control legislation.
But this is not to be, and to-day the
REGULARS" are morally certain to or
ganize both houses, Mayor Whyte
having publicly announced that he
would lend no encouragement to the
Hamilton Independents outside of
the caucus. Gov. Hamilton and his
friends read the announcement, flrst
made in The american, with amaze
ment. but the Governor at once de-
cided upon his course. The program
heretofore mapped out to parcel out

James Stins0n of Altoona, Pa,
was the ward of a rich aunt and her
prospective heir. He Was engaged
to he married to Mary Price. an
estimable young lady. She was a
church-goer. He was not. He al
ways accompanied her to the church
door Sunday evenings and then
awaited outside until the services
were over to take her home. A
number of young men were i'm the
habit of congregrating about the
Methodist church door on similar
duty. The church officers came to
look upon their presence as nuis-
ance. They procured the passing Of
city ordinance forbiding the custom
under fine and Imprisonment. This
frightened all the loungers but young
Stinscn. He persisted in waiting for
his girl. On recent Sunday night
"a policeman arrested him and locked
him up over night. This was dis.
grace his girl could not overlook.
She dismissed him. His rich amt
was also so scandaized that she
changed her will, disinheriting him.
TO recompense himself for these
losses Siinson has brought suit
against the city, placing his damages
at 1000.

The completion and opening of the
whole line of the Southern Pacific
railroad through from New Orleans
to San Francisco is an event of more
than ordinary Importance in this
railroad building country. 1t may
be said to mark the beginning of a
new era in our Pacific railway sys-
tenn, the future of which will bring
with it II large crop of through lines
to The Pacific, some of which are
tolerably sure to become eventually
competing lines for the through bust
ness. The present railway is the
first connection direct with San Fran
cisco yet opened to the cotton States.
and especially to the principal port
of the Gulf, New Orleans.

The constitutionalitv of the law
placing the appointment of school
commissioners in the hands of the
judges of the several circuits has been
denied by Judge YellUtt, of Baiti-
more county. The constitutionality
of the law has been questioned sever
al times before by judges in other
parts of the State, and, to say the
least, the function which 1t requires
the judiciary to exercise does not
seem altogether in accordance with
their Office. In the present instance,
no practical inconvenience arises
from Judge Yellott's opinion. as
Judges Grason and Waters hold the
contrary view, and have appointed
the commissioners. But it is obvious
that serious inconvenience might
arise in case majority of the judges
of circuit should decline to exercise
their power of appointment, and
should be sustained in their position
by the Court of Appeals during the
interval between the biennial ses-
sions of the General Assembly. The
present would be good time to test
the law before the Court of Appeals,
and if it should be decided uncon-
stutional by that tribunal, the neces-
sary legislation could be provided
without delay.--B0Lo. american.

The New York Sun (Dem.), is au.
thority for the statement that through
President Arthur's good Offices there
has been a complete reconciliation be-
tween the New York Stalwarts and
Half-breeds. 1t has all along been
apparent that the President was de-
termined to ignore factions of the
Republican party in his official con-
duct, and he appears to have pursued
that policy to good effect in New
York.

way construction. The statistics for
the year show that track has been
lain on 258 different lines, aggregat-
ing S.242 miles-the largest mileage
ever constructed in any one year
that for 1880 being 7 IVA miles, which
was greater than that Of any previous
year, except 1871, when the total
reached 1879 miles. Of the forty
two States and territories in which
the work of railway-building was
prosecuted in 1881, Texas takes the
lead, with 1,4l1 miles Iowa follows,
with nearly 500, while Maryland is
credited with only % miles of new
railroad, Georgia with 544. Alabama
