The Course of Trade.

Bradstreet's Journal says the movement Of
merchandise has been lighter than a week ago.
Trunk line troubles have foreshadoweda prob
able trunk line war of rates, and some heavy
shippers have held back goods to take advan-
tage of a break in rates. Grain has reached
the seaboard more freely, but receipts have
fallen away at primary market, the farmer hav-
ing concluded to hold his grain for better fig
ures than are ruling. The movement of goods
is distinctly below that of former years, al
though from several western cities, notably st
Louis, ST. Paul, Minneapolis, and Chicago,
there is fair volume Of fall trade reported
The general feeling in mercantile circles ap-
pears more hopeful of an improved, though
delayed, demand.

Political contribution boxes are light
this year. Whether from lack of money
or lack of interest, therefore responses
to appeals for campaign funds are a
rarity. The stringency of the civil ser.

whacking up as usual. But things will
warm up as the weather grows colder,

think the probabilities are favorable to the
success of our ticket The Cleveland scandal
will not have weight with the people, and
ought not to have weight. It is unworthy the

has stood the test Of popular canvass-once
for the office of mayor Of his own city, and
each time he received the endorsement of his
strength. Whatever there may have been Of
the scandal existing before that, 1t Is not just
either to him or the people now to revive it
The public welfare requires that he be judged
by his public record; by his capability and At
portant public duties, and not by an old and
exploded slander. Very respectfully yours, etc. ,

Mr.. Blaine's greatness of character has
at no time shone forth with greater lustre
than since his defeat for the Presidency.
lie bears himself under the ordeal of that
supreme disappointment with all the
stoical fortitude and dignity of u Socrates.
Nor is it tho stoicism of insensibiity -
Acutely alive to all the far-leaching and
momentous consequences of the result
fully sensible of the illustrious dignity
which he has missed, keenly conscious of
the bitter disappointment of his party, ho
yet sustains himself under the blow with
the serenity of great and disciplined ma
ture. His admirable bearing, indeed, ex-
cites in his intimate friends something of
the wonder and admiration with which
the associates and disciples of Socrates,
and other heather philosophers, noted
their tranquil tlrmness under great adj
versity. "How does he bear it? - Re-
publican Congressman asked of William
Walter Phelps, few days ago. "Splen-
didly Splendidly p replied Mr.. Phelps.

He walks and bears himself with power,
and all his actions are those of vigorous
man. He eats and sleeps with the hearty
zest of healthy manhood, aud studies and
writes and exercises like q man who has
keen and undimiuished interest In life.
In fact, he seems more like n man who
rolled off burden, than one who has en-
countered misfortune. In all things he
displays the qualities of a great and un-
soured nature. lie will not permit Bit
ter reflections upon poor old Dir. Buch-
ard, and he declares it will be his plea
sure and duty at once to call upon Mr..
Cleveland when he arrives in Washing
ton, and pay his respects to the new
Chief Magistrate.
This is true greatness. 1t will elevate
Mr.. Blaine still higher in the admiration
aud love of his party, and evoke the adj
miring respect of the whole world. II

ted also, recently, the last story from the

secured the only translation from the
