An Era Of Prosperity Ahead.

Samuel Benner, an Ohio farmer, pub
lished book on prices, in 1879, in which
he predicted the principal financial &C.
currences for number If years ahead.
He said the lowest point of depression
would be in 1877, and that the turn of
the tide would begin with the higher
price of iron in 1878: but that the ad-
vance in market quotations would cul-
inmate in 1881. Mr.. Benner claimed to
have discovered law of periodicitv.
For a certain number of years prices
went up, end times We're good; then be
gan decline in prices. in which the in
dustries of the world were depressed.
The price of iron was. according to this
authority, the key note of the situation.
When a demand for that useful metal
showed itself, it was clearly due to a
revival of industry. Tools Were being
needed. Then when the demand fell
off. or the markets We're glutted, the iron
industry was the first to show signs of
depression. Mr.. Benner went on TO af-
firm that the great panics occurred in this
country in periods varying from eight
cen to twenty years. Thus we had one
in 1887, again in 81, while the last COM
menced in '13 and eliminated in II.
According to Mr.. Benner, another finan-
cial crisis is due in 1891, but il was to
be preceded By couple Of years of eX-
travagant speculation and great sppar-
ent prosperity. But il would seem as il
the good times anticipated this forecast.
for the news from all parts of the world
is, that things are getting better, and
that the immediate future is full of hope
for all industries here and abroad. The
Ohio prophet thought that 1886 as well
as 1897 would be dull years; but il looks
a. il for once he was mistaken. Demon

not deal till we are compelled to do so in
self. defense. The public is assured that
no attempt to "d,splace" Judge King has
been made; the '.seat" is not "his," but
the authority vested in him may be re-
sumed by the power which gave it him
for term of years which is about to ex-
pire, not for life. No "means" have been
used which are not also used by Judge
King. What has been done was done
openly and referred to in the public
press. The Office in question is an im~
portant one, and if the editor of the Her
aid knows of "any whins and prejudices
of discontinued parties" likely to influ-
ence the appointment to the detriment
of the public, he should say so. We
agree with him that eff this subject has
to be dragged down to the common level
Of political campaign, then it should be
regarded as most unfortunate" but we
respectfully submit that the Herald has
done more to do this than all other in
fiuences combined. If Judge King has
served as Circuit Judge .'for thirty We
years" and is only ''this side of seventy"
has he not had enough of honor Should
not he and his friends be satisfied?

place, menaced by an inclination on the
part of the electors Of Chelsea to demand
his resignation. This demand would GER
tainly be made but for the fact that the
Liberal committee discourage it, as they
think it doubtful if another Liberal would
be returned from that division in case Of
a new election. Sir Charles has had q
conference with the committee as to
whether he ought to resign without be-
ing asked to do so. 1t is understood
that he is willing to step down and
out, but that the committee, for the
political reason just named, are inclined
to continue supporting him. The nearly
unanimous tone of press comments is
that of discomfort at the failure to have
the charges against the Chelsea member
probed to the bottom. The cloud that
now remains over him is almost as dis
astrous to his prospects as even an ad-
verse legal judgment would have been,
for it will be impossible to avoid the gen.
eral verdict that he could not afford to
meet and squarely fight the accusations
against him. There is mingled with this
feeling a general verdict that England has
lost the services of statesman Of much
practical sagacity.

"Here goes on the A." said 81, and he laid one
of his serips on that figure. 1t disappeared at
the first throw of the dice.
"Now I'll try the g. said 81, and another
scrip went to keep company with the other.
Ittoek just four throws to get rid of his change,
and he concluded he had got enough. Shorty
made 81 promise that he would never play
chuck -a-uck again.
Notwithstanding Sis resolution that he would
break off all commercial relations with the
Sutler, his appetite got the better of him. 1t
was nearly supper time, and he thought some of
those things the Sutler had would taste good. He
concluded, upon reflection, that he could not
spend his money better than for something to
eat. Shorty conceded in this. By unanimous
vote they at once passed an appropriation bill,
and started for the Suffers.
There was great crowd around the tent.
Everybody seemed anxious-to spend his money
as fast as possible 1t went about as easily
and rapidly as it did in playing chuck -a-luck.
The Sutler had spread out in tempting array a
stock of new goods, and marked up the prices
to keep pace with the active demand. His
clerks were all on the jump and the money
fairly rolled in.
ST and Shorty made few investments that
they considered to be judicious. A recount of
their funds after the purchases, however, warned
them that at that rate of outlay they would
very soon be again shivering in the chilling air
of AFFECT perjury.

with the rest lay in supply of goods for the
next payday.
