The line officers of the army are pre-.
pairing to make a strong push for legis-
alton by congress to accelerate promo
tions, which is now almost stagnant. A
bill is to be introduced fixing the age
for compulsory retirement at a much
lower figure than sixty-four, as now,
and providing that captains shall go on
the retired list at the age of fifty. II
is thought the passage of such q bill as
this is the only possible method Of
keeping up the promotion of aged off.
GERS into position of usefulness in the
army in time Of peace. 1t is not men.
toned, and therefore deemed out of the
question, to remedy the evil by reduc.
ing the number of cadets of West Point,
which is the nursery of army officers.
A comparatively slight reduction would
keep the chances of promotion, and
really the number of officers now in the
nrmy is vastly out of proportion to the
number of soldiers. The same evil
prevails in the Navy, and to a greater
extent.

Death of the God of Fear.
Sind dndia) Times.

o1uu lAlula) lines. --
An amusing spectacle was witnessed
at Shikarpore round the hideous image
of an earthern God representing fear.
The image, huge, out of all proportions
wore an extremely dreadful appearance.
About 1000 people assembled to cele-
brate the death of this god of dread,
An old woman WAS sitting by the image,
representing the mother of the dreaded
deity. A circle of about fifty feet in
diameter was formed round the image,
in the midst of which moved hundreds
of spectators, men and women crying al
the top of their voices: Gear is dead!'
Gear is dead!" The old woman neal
the image, on hearing of the death Of
her son, broke out in lamentable strains,
mourning the loss of her beloved son
the god Of fear. Some women again,
afraid, we should think, lest the deity oil
fear may not be actually dead, and
might turn his wrath against those who
We're shouting his death, reverently APP
preached the idol. kissed his feet and
scattered fullahs upon it to propitiate its
anger.

Failure. and Condition of Business.

There were 2y6 failures in the United States
reported to Bradstreets during the week end
ing 9th against 237 in the preceding week, and
GAG, PAT and169 in the corresponding weeks of
1888, 1882 and 1881, respectively. About "a
per cent. were those of small traders whose
capital was less than $4,000. Among those re-
ported embarrassed were:
Burr, Son & Co., beer brewers, New York; E.
B. Parson & Co., bankers, De Ruyter, New York;
Farmers National bank, Bushnell, I'll. ;Kramer

Roberts & Co., wholesale grocers, Augusta.
Bradstreet's Journal in its commercial sum
mary tomorrow will say: The general CON-
mercial situation throughout the United States
during the past week shows no material evil
dences of Improvement. In the face
of the continued depression, the somewhat
surprising fact is noted that ut several
important points the general feeling in trade
circles itmore buoyant, and that greater con.
fidence exists in 1.-THE new year. Tangible data
for this view arc not furnished. The note
worthy exceptions to the continued depression
in business arc at San Francisco, where trade
has been greatly improved owing to more lib
eral purchases by farmers, and at a few small
cities such as Savannah, Ca, and Evansville,
Ind.

The Remorse of a Forger.

A stranger named N. 8. Travis obtained
from Spellman 4 Bro, Council Bluffs, Iowa, a
check for s5.35, which he raised to $S4 and en-
deavored to get it cashed, but was unsuccess-
full. Being detected he escaped to Omaha, and
Thursday afternoon Mr.. Specimen who was
looking for him, saw him m out of q saloon.
The moment that Travis saw spellman he
pulled out his pocket knife and plunged it
three times into his bowels, making severe
wounds. The act was witnessed by several
men, among whom were w policemen who
mediately took the wounded man to Jail, where
he was attended. He may recover. He said
he used to be sheriff in one of the Black Hills
counties of Dakota, and that having lost all
his money and friends by gambling he attempt
ed to raise money by forging a check, and re-
eide.

President Arthur approves of the rec
o~mmendation of the postmaster gen

now is. He says in view of the statis-
tics furnished by the department it may
be we'll doubted whether the charge
would result in any loss of revenue;
that it would greatly promote the con-
%venience of the public is beyond dis
pute. 1t is to be hoped that this change
will be made. The saving of expense
to the people would be considerable,
and a great source Of annoyance avoided.
Comparatively few people possess letter
scales, and therefore cannot determine,
in a vast number Of cases, how much
postage is required. Very frequently
too much postage is paid, to make sure
of instant transmission, and still often.
er, too little. With o two-cent STAMP
for one ounce, instead of half an ounce
as row, there would be no question il
regard to the vast majority of ordinary
letters.

People in all the large cities of the
East who are aware of the low price Of
wheat are taxed as much as ever for
flour and bread. This gross injustice
ELECTS very strong compliments
through the newspapers, and frequent
suggestions are found in favor of govern
ment regulation Of this matter, as in
Europe. There the law compels all
bakers to make their loaves of o uni
form weight, and the people know what
they are buying and how much q pound
they are paying. Here, where wheat
was never so low in the memory of liv-
ing man, the people are taxed as much
as aver for flour and bread. In an in
teryiew with a New York baker he said;
"Well, suppose flour has gone down, do
you suppose we're going to lower our
price, so long as we have no trouble in
getting the prices we now ask? II
amt reasonable to think so. I hope
you newspaper fellows amt a-going to
play the same trick on us here as was
played in England some time ago.
Why, the London papers showed up
the bakers fearful. They said that
though breadstutfs was low, bread was
high; and country papers followed suit
andLord bless you the bakers had to
give in. So will we if it comes to the
tug.
