business Matters.

New YORK, June 1.-THE move
rnent ofgeneral merchandise through
out the United States during the
week, as reported in special dispatch
eS from leading cities to BrGdStreetS,
shows no improvement. The pres
ent period in the year is generally a
| dull season, and there is little or no
exception to the rule. kilograms
from Chicago, St. Louis, Milwaukee,
Cincinnati and Topeka point to a bet
ter feeling, and in Some instances to
an influx of new orders. But there
are no elements of a rival in business
among them. AT New York, Phil
adelphia and Baltimore, at Boston,
and at fourteen other cities, ranging
from Portland, Me-, to San Francis
co, and from st. Paul to New Orleans.
our dispatches tell uniform story of
purchases only to replentish stocks,
of very conservative business both
at first and second hands, and in the
South and West and Northwest of
some stringency for money for even
strictly mercantile purposes, and on
good security.
The iron market is, if possible,
duller than ever, though few deal
ers report better feeling. Sales do
not warrant the latter view, and in
quiries are not conspicuous. The pol
icy of reducing the output Of anthra-
cite iron is being continued, and
stocks of raw iron mos. and p are
smaller than ever. Steel rails are in
search of orders at S32. with liberal
concessions offered.
BosToN, June 1.-THE AIUertiSer
in its weekly review of the wool
market says There has been more
| inquiry, and also more business, az
the sales show. But a fair proportion
of the increase this week was Of last
week, as a few houses, who did not
report at all last week, made up fol-
/ lIlt JNO Weeks inns. L ilttS dI'f llO"
ever, easy. and thoroughly in buyers
favor, dealers being desirous to close
out their stocks before the new wool,
come in. Manufacturers, too, are Sc
lightly stocked that those who keep
their mills running must be in the
market frequently for wool. No re
vivaI in wool is expected hereab0utr
until WoolIens improve. ItisnOticp.
able that the imports of woOlens are,
however, increasing, and that the eX-
ports from Bradford, England, dur
ing the month of March were 1873 per
ent,more than for the same month
in 1888. Tie condition of the goods
market continues very unsatisfacto-
ry. New woods are ARRIVING much
more freely, as the large receipts
| show, and there is considerable on
/ the way from Texas and elsewhere.

1t may have been noticed hereto
fore that the Democrats always elect
(?) their Presidents during the sum-
mer and fall months, while the Re-
publicans always wait until Novem-
Der to elect theirs. This year will be
no exception to the rule. Talk is the
cheapest thing going. 1t takes votes
to elect a President, and these the
Republicans baYe.

Since Blaine has been nominated

Since Blaine has been nominated
we want to he from there on Hen
ry G. Is he with US, or "fornenst"
us, rs people generally believe? If
he is against Us let him resign the
position of delegate to the Democrat
ic National Convention, to which he
should never have been choos-
en- IVetzeL Democrat.
All this because Mr.. Blaine and
Mr.. Davis happen to he friends and
business associates. This is Il very
tart way to go after man whose
purse has been at the service of the
Democracy in West Virginia, But

The New York SIN tells the DEM
ocrats that they will have to work
out their own salvation in fear and
trembling, because the opposition to
Mr.. Blaine comes not from the prac-
teal politicians in the rank and file
of the Republican party, but mainly
from people who do not always take
the trouble to vote.

A Short RANGED Rimrod.

While out on a recent hunting expc-
dItion with her husband, Mrs. Wash
burn proved herself no novice in the
use Of firearms; in fact she is Justly

Mrs. w. performed all of the duties

ambitious for greater achievements and

one day, that the fowling-piece was left
behind she determined to take a hunt
on her own hook-thinking. perhaps. if
she depended upon the braves to pro
cure meat for the party, they would
be obliged to fall back on bacon.
ARMED cap-a-pie," she struck out for
the prairie. She had not gone far
before a rabbit, that seemed to have
lost its bearings, crossed her pathway
and sought shelter beneath some rocks.
Quickly our Ninrod raised her weapon
and fired, but the rabbit still lived and
had its being. After several shots had
been fired and the rabbit, a~pprehensive
of danger from "A stray shot if he
remained longer exposed, took refuge

Sheep Drives.

Two large bands of sheep, number
ing 2,7oo and $500 respectively, are
on their way Montana-ward from
Washington. The larger band goes to
Sun River; the smaller to Flat creek.
1t IS estimated that the sheep brought
into Montana from the west this wear
will greatly outnumber those of any
previous year. The average cost at
the place OF purchase is about So. 60
per head. 1t costs about so cents per
head 10 bring them through in bands
large as those mentioned above, and
on their arrival here they are worth
from $500 to So. Sc per head-so it
will be seen that with ordinary luck
sheep driving is not Improbable.

BEECHl2El on ARTHUR.

At the big mass meeting in New
York in favor of Arthur for Presi-
dent, Henry Ward Beecher in the
course Of his remarks said:
When elected Vice-President,
Mr.. Arthur had been an ardent
New York politician, loyal to his
party and friends, carrying himself,
perhaps, beyond the line of pru-
dence but I honor a man whose
impudence springs from the in
tegrity and loyalty of his heart.
When by the terrible deed Of an in
sane man he became President, he
forgot the things he remembered
merely as a politician of New York
and turned with a greater trust and
wider horizon to confront the duties
before him. And, when it was
necessary he should sacrifice his
bosom friend, rather than involve
the country in the old troubles and
bitterness again he gave up his
friend. Now, as to civil service, l
think investigation Will show that
President Arthur was the first one
to institute a civil service reform.
He began it when he was in the
Custom-house, and he still con-
tinues it. / do not believe in the
nonsense of no third term. l hold
if man proves competent he
should be put in for a third,
fourth, or even fifth term. If by
his acts any man ever earned re-
nomination Mr.. Arthur deserves his.
l do not say the non-election of Mr..
Arthur is going to ruin the country.
The country will prosper whoever
is President, but it is certainly the
case that its prosperity is assured,
so far as it can be assured, by the
action Of any one man.

There is just now an exhibition
of grumpiness and hard feeling In
the ranks CT the Grand Army OF
the Republic over the observance
of Decoration Day, which is as I'M
seemly as it it is uncalled for. II
there is any organization on earth
where harmony and good fellowship
should prevail it is in the Grand
Army, and all attempts to create
discord and trouble should be
promptly squelchcd. tits proposed
on May 3Oth to consecrate the OBJ
servance Of a sacred anniversary,
as has been the custom for years
past, and any man who would al
low his personal likes or dislikes
to influence him upon such an oc
casion, is unfit to take any part
in so dignified a ceremonial as be-
longs to the observance of Decor
alton Day. The programme for the
Day is in the hands of intelligent
men and so far their labors in be-
half of the event have received the
warm endorsement Of every good
and patriotic citizen. There is now
nothing left to do but for all who
have the success of such a celebra-
ton at heart no true soldier
can be inimical to ito put their
shoulders to the wheel and help on
the work. Let no one, however,
imagine for a moment that the OPP
position of any disconnected fac
ton will make the slightest differ
ence in the matter. 1t would be
better to have all combine for the
common success Of the ceremonies,
but at any event they will go on
just the same.

An illustration Of the difficulty
of finding market for literary
products is furnished By recent
statement from Roosevelt Smith,
the editor Of the Century. He
says the magazine is offered about
six thousand articles year. 1t has
room for but comparatively small
number, and many Of the articles
appearing in its pages are solicited
by the editor. The famous writer's
seldom furnish anything unless re-
questcd to do so. But in one month
two hundred poems were offered the
editor, and only one of the lot was
accepted.

of the poem.
