a drunkard's grave. but some one

and enjoyment. He has chiseled a
monument to his name by his great

for money is the root of the whole
evil. The sin is none the less be-
cause it is national.

The railroad centering at Chicago
are having quite a cut on rates. 1t is
altogether likely they will pool and
circle back to something like the usu.
al prices. It is time the railroad fare
should be somewhat reduced. Times
are dull, and all business should be
governed accordingly.
The Chinese problem is likely to
