ENCOURAGING BUSINESS VIEW.

1t IS encouraging to observe hopeful
feeling prevailing in the East wit refer
ence to business revival. The New
York World, which is always cautious
in this respect, says that "although bust
ness in financial circles is by no means
active. there are abundant indications of
a gradual improvement in trade and of a
more hopeful feeling among merchants.
Under the promise of enormous crops of
cotton and corn, buyers exhibit more
confidence and firms in the South and
West have of late been replenishing
stocks with much freedom. The move
ment had decided effect upon cotton
goods last week. prices having advan-
ced under good inquiry. The harden
ing OF prices is Of course due in part to
diminished production and the gradual
reduction of stocks in first hands, but
nevertheless an increased demand has
something to do with it. and the fact
that this is the case shows clearly that
the feeling of depression is wearing off.
If the cotton and corn crops when harvest
ed yield anything like the amounts now
predicted by competent authorities, there
will certainly b. substantial revival of
business in the cotton and corn belts,
and New York will surely share in the
improvement. At present, however, the
disposition is to 60 slow, as any serious
damage to cotton and corn, following
upon the heels of the partial failure of
the wheat harvest, would upset I'LL calcu-
lations and entail serious losses upon
those who form hasty conclusions and
act upon them. Thus for some time We
may look for q moderate increase in the
volume of business here, without excite
ment or boom in any branch of trade.
1t is obvious that this condition of affairs
is to be preferred at least until the safety
of our great products and staples is as-
sured." .....s,.

The Chrlstlan Rrothcr., College.

On Saturday the house passed bill for the
relief Of the college of Christian Brothers q
st. Louis. The bill allows $50 900 as compen-
sation for losses sustained by reason of the use
and occupancy of the building and grounds of
the college during the war by the union
forces and the consequent damage TO the
property. The report OF the house committee
ON war claims, upon which the aboye.men-
toned favorable action of the house was
based. pertincntly states that "institutons OF
religion, learning, aud charity are respected
by all civilzcdt nations, and by the we'll
established laws Of nations are exempted from
the usual operations of war. The society of
Christian Brothers has peculiar claims upon
the government aud mankind at large. They
are not a religious or priestly order; they do
not, and under the laws of the society cannot,
own any property as individuals. In this
respect they very much resemble the priml-
tive Christians. They live and labor for all
mankind-their charity is extended to all.
Had this building been a machine shop or a
fGctorg, occupied as the college was, its owner
would be entitled to iair and just compen-
sation. We cannot do otherwise with this in
HtitutiOn."

Cabinet Gossip.

The newspapers and the politicians seem
likely to be allowed to guess at the men who
are to compose President Cleveland's cabinet
up to the moment their names are sent into
the Senate. The President-elect evinces not
the slightest disposition to relieve curiosity
on the subject before he is compelled to 20
so. 1t is only month now to the day of
his Inauguration, and yet it cannot be as
serted that anybody but himself, and the
men he has invited to seats in the cabinet if
any such there be, has any actual knowledge
on the subject. Since the discussion began
about all the prominent Democrats in the
country, and good many obscure ones
have been mentioned" as likely TO receive
call. Fully hundred cabinets, differing
wholly or in part, have been submitted to
President Cleveland for his approval by the
newspapers already and between this time
and the fourth of March there will be large
additions to this number. A newspaper
that has not constructed cabinet since the
sixth of November is a rarely.
There are one or two names on which the
guessers agree, and only one or two. Very
few cabinets have been constructed with the
name of Thomas F. Bayard left out. Sena-
tor Garland also figures Ia NEST Of the news
paper cabinets as attorney general. Beyond
these two names there has been nothing like
substantial agreement among the cabinet
