Whatever may be our opinion OF the Saliva
ton Army as o means Of gaining spiritual
grace, we are not disposed to recommend II as
thoroughfare toward successful speculation.
General Booth has long had in England the
reputation of being an exceedingly shrewd,
sharp fellow, skilful organizer and discipline
rian, but in the present instance he is mixing
his piety and pounds in way which we fancy
will disgust even the stolid British Christian
who is taught to pray for wealth and pi osper-
ity every Sunday before all spiritual blessings

he usually, too, keeps his religion and his
pocket separate, and suspects the man who
seeks to make them out the same thing.

Mr.. Walter Besant's grievance. stated elsewhere
by our London correspondent, is touchingy lud-
ferrous. He sold advance sheets of novel to
struggling little weekly Society paper " in New
York for $3.50, and hasn't been able to collect bis
bill. The reason, however obscure to English nov
elists hunting for an American market, would seem
TO mere mortals tolerably PLAIN The periodical in
question was then hopeessIy insolvent. and has
now gone into bankruptcy. Exactly what Mr.
Besant would like to have done does not appear -
whether to have national guardian appointed to
keep English novelists from making sales on credit
in America to irresponsible little weekly journals of
Society news" on the verge Of bankruptcy. or to
have a special fund created by the United States
Government to reimburse them for all
the bad debts they make. Meantime
there is absolutely no international agreement for
bidding Mr. Besant, in the language of the American
author chiefly admired in England. to raise bis
yawp over tho roofs of two continents about the
way be and his money $3.50 were parted.
1t is understood that Grover Cleveland has mis-
laid his Presidential boom. The clerks IN the Ex-
ecutive Department have devoted all their spare
time of late to search for it, but thus far their
efforts have been in vain. The boom was last seen
early in January. It's disappearance has cast a
thick gloom over the Gubernatoral circle.
A Democratic orator told New-Jersey audience
the other evening that nothing important had been
accomplished in the political history of this country
save through tho medium of tho Democratic
party" If the spirits of the illustrious dead are
permitted to know what is going on here below,
then Ananias and Sspphra must have turned pea
green with professional envy as they heard this
statement.

GOD AND MAHMON.

A new light is thrown upon the Salvation
Army and its work by card recently pub
lished in The Loadon Times by General Booth,
the head OF the organization. He invites in
vestments of any amount from poor believers
or from the rich who wish to purchase annuities
for the poor. He proposes to pay an annuity
equal to per cent per annum on these invest
ments. He also invites deposits OF any sum
above f5, proposing to pay o per cent
ON these, if deposits remain five years. To the
Englishman used to his 2 and per cent on
safe investments, 5 on an annuity is as ailur-
ing as the 20 and 80 which Nevada and Colo
RADIO investments offer to Americans General
Booths securities arc about rs safe as those of
O wilde bank, or a new mine. He offers alb
solutely no security but Christian honesty; the
Army, he alleges, is in debt over 100000. on
which debt 1t is paying and per cent inter-
est, and he begs for help to clear Of this burden

MONEY AND BUSINESS.

There has been marked improvement in the
money market and much more activity In the
stock market during the past week, with definite
Improvement in crop prospects. collapse OIL
speculation for an advance in grain at Chicago
considerable activity with slight decline In
cotton, another fall in petroleum, and very
numerous transactions in real estate, have been
the most noteworthy features of the other mar
kets. The condition of business is not alto
eether favorable at the East, but is represented
as improving at the West and the industrial
outlook is somewhat frightened by the meeting
of iron workers at Pittsburg. At this annual
convention, held for the purpose of fixing the
scale at which more than 100000 men would
work for the coming year, a movement to
demand an advance in wages was expected.
The convention adjourned after a long ses-
sion, having made no demand for an advance
and agreed upon no scale, but having appointed
a committee to confer with the manufacturers
and ascertain their views The manufacturers
at the West, finding themselves embarrassed by
the fact that wages paid at the East are rela-
lively low, have determined to propose reduc-
ton of wages and, it Is said, by changing the
basis from 2l2 cents to cents for bar iron, so
that the wages of puddlers would be re-
duced from So so to So per ton. Unless
such a change can be made, it is said
that they contemplate closing works in the
summer. The action of the convention of
workers opens at least possibility of agree
ment
There has been something like panic in
grain at Chicago. Wheat dropped on Saturday
to 81 OOla for April. against 81 06is on Sat
urday, the 31st ult.; corn fell to 4S cents for
April, against sos cents; and oats to 1888 cents
against 40 cents. The decline does not seem
to have been caused by large receipts indeed.
the grain movement at the Western ports has
been rapidly diminishing for some time, as the
following statement of receipts and shipments
in bushels for some weeks past will show:
