CHICAGO, Dec. eO.-The close Of the year
rather intrnsifies than relieves the existing
business troubles. II is general custom to
make the 1st of January q balancing and
squaring-up time with merchants and trades
men, aud, II there is any concealed rot
ieness in the financial situation of individ-
uals or firms, it is very apt TO come to the
light about this time, As a natural eonse-
iueBee, there has been a very perceptible in
crease Of failures in the business world for
several weeks past, aud this state Of things
may continue for a week or two in New
York, but the ''Door sticksn will all be
tested after while, and nothing but good,
sound timber will be left and then matters
viii begin 10 mend from the bottom and a
gradual healthy revival of business take
place. The holiday trade is fair rather than
large. The rich are buying some, the poor
are buying little, but the worst time Of all
will doubtless come 10 buyers aud sellers
alike after the holidays are over, and work
and trade will both be limited for the balance
Of the winter months. A great many, how
ever, are looking for an improved state Of
things With the coming Of New Year. II
could hardly be expected that the whole
country will jump into prosperous times at
a single and simultaneous bound after such
a siege of depression and low prices, YET
there are good reasons for expecting a slow
and gradual process of improvement The
only thing needed To put every form Of in
dustry into renewed motion is an increased
demand for our products, and this demand
will only come as the result of a steady con-
sumption, coupled with decreased output.
By and by the demand will overtake the sup
ply, and then there will be loud call for
more labor and more goods.

Some New Cabinet Suggestions.
Special TELEGRAM TO the Globe

IEFtNt@A AN+0-AN'A ~ eAI 1Ao'C-A
WASHINGTON, d. c., Dec. 20.-The Star
dishes up the annexed as the latest cabinet
gossip: a quiet but apparently formidable
boom for Senator Lamar as member Of the
next cabinet has been in progress in the
senate for few days. The suggestion OF
his selection has received the approval of
some of the most prominent Democrats,
men who have the car OF the president-elect
and who will be influential in his
administration. This movement has
made no noise, but it is well
backed. Senator Lamar has said to his
friends that he does not want a cabinet posi-
ton, and he has been ayerse 10 the mention
Of his name in that connection for the rea-
son that he is supporting Representative
Money for the postmaster generalship. There
fore, anything that has been done in tie
direction of making Mr.. Lamar a cabinet
officer has probably been without
his assent. The ground taken by
some of his friends is that his
eminent qualifications point him out as one
of the men whom Mr.. Cleveland should
select, and that, If he is invited to place in
the cabinet, b. eau scarcely refuse to serve.
A prominent Democratic member OF con-
gress said to-day: cor all the menI know
/ should recommend Senator Cockreil, Of
Missouri, for postmaster general BE IS the
very man for the place He would master
every detail of the department, and not a
dollar would be expended without his know
ing just what it went for.''
Senator Williams, of Kentucky, has also
been mentioned lately By friends for easi-
net position. -s~,

Our police jury consumed three
days last week reviewing the tax
lists. They found dfty-one persons
whom they thought bad given IN too
small valuation of their possessions.
but, fearing it would not pay to have
them up before the board, they aban-
doned the idea OF pressing the mat
ter This was wrong. II they were
to mulct few parties for costs when
they are found to have given IN IN
fair assessments. it would have
most beneficial effect. We also thlns
they should have applied at leas'
one mill Of the taxes to support TN
schools, in response to the applIca
ton of the school board. With thes'
exceptions, and a disposition to &C
ON claims without thorough examl

have done moderately well for ne'

WHAT 1T DID AND DIDN'T.

a beautiful country richly adapted for
agricultural purposes into which it is
expected settlers will soon be making

that, certain preliminaries being ar
