SENATOR WILSON, of Iowa, in a recent
conversation with member OF the editorial
stafr of the Philadelphia Press, said that the
farmers of Iowa were making careful
study of the tariff question. Not long ago
the senator remarked-the Nebraska free
trader, Morton, told an Iowa audience
that they paid the English price plus the
duty for their blankets. To dlsprove this
Senator Wilson took some Of the leading
farmers to wooden mill which was pro-
ducing the best blankets made from wool
grown on NJ backs OF American sheep
and worked into blankets by American
labor, "GIve me your prices for the best
grade of five-pound and of eight-pound blan-
kets," said the senator. The manufacturer
put the figures on piece of paper, and to
the astonshment of those present, the
prices in each case were trifle lower than
those Morton had given as the original
British price, The farmers were not CON
verted to free trade

Among the distinguished dead of 1885 are
n few names more ilustrious than any that
are left on the lists of the living. Foremost
Of these, measured by the great deeds done,
the good accomplished, is the immortal
name OF Ulysses 8. Grant. 1t hurts the
pride of no living American to hear 1t said
that Grant left no equal.
France, like America, has parted with
her greatest son since the old year was
young. Victor Hugo left no peer behind
and he can have found but few on "the

predecessors have grown greater since the

Among the statesmen whose depar-
ture belongs to the history OF 'S5 we recall
tie names Of ColfaX, Hendricks, Freling-

THE best sources from which TO seek in

cal reports Of savings banks, especially in a
state like Massachusetts, where the indus

The number OF open accounts is Sio, 7S7, an

only 1884 show greater amount than

paid to depositors is Ala per cent, though
some banks pay only per cent. The rigid,
careful watch kept by the state over the In

The Kentucky legislature meets to-day
face to face with large deficiency in the
state treasury and an impatient demand for
such legislation as will secure something in
the nature of an administration Of justice
through the courts. There are counties in
Kentucky where the punishment of white
men for crimes is not even attempted
communities whose heroes are assasslns.
OF course these are exceptional, but they
arc disgrace TO the commonwealth, and
such evils demand correction.

To the reflective mind the last hours Of

so much because another link is about to
drop out of the chain of life; not that the
end Of life is nearer, but because OF the
wealth Of pleasant bright, and sweet asso-
Citations that bind the heart to the dying
year "Tisg greatly wise to talk with our past
hours, to ask them what report they bore
to heaven, and how they might have borne
more welcome news" No other day is so
fitting as this for serious talk with the
past; no other day so fitting for good rcso-
lutions.
