something to rejoice over. Mr.. Clevelands

It since Minerva sprang full armed from the brain
Of Jupiter.
The future Of this washerwoman in politics Will
be awaited with no ordinary interest II Edward
Murphy, IT,, is equal to the situation he will
resign the Craftsmanship Of the Democratic Com
mittee In her favor-for 1t must occur to him that
she has demonstrated that the place belongs to
her. 1t is understood at Albany that at an early
day the Governor will send her name in to the
Senate for Railroad Commissioner some other
good thing. 1t is whispered In Toga County
that she is to be sent as delegate to the Demo
cratic National Convention and will present Mr.
Hills name for the Presidency. These reports
may be trihe incorrect in their details. But 1t
Is evident that II the Tioga washerwoman fulfils
the promise Of her initial performance in the
field of practical politics. the day is not far distant
when the bossship Of the Democratic machine will
pass into her hands. II that day ever comes she
will find that one Of her chief duties will be the
washing Of party linen and that she will need
more soft soap than she ever used professionally
in Tioga, II her administration is to win golden
opinions from all the factions
The question that convulses Democratic circles
to-day Is, Who discovered her? Was it Hill or
OBrienp Did the Governor go In person to
Tioga County and plead with her to enter public
life, or did his ex-Attorney-General take the in
itiative? 1t is doubtful if this line Of inquiry
will ever be met to the satisfaction Of all con-
cerned. But it takes its place on the calendar
under the inquiry, Who first Suggested Mr., Cleve-
land for the Presidency? Pending the answer we
may remark that some Of these days when she
has finished her earthly course the washerwoman
from Toga may take her place among the con-
steations that shine in the Democratic sky.
Then shall she be known as the starry-eyed goddess
Of peanut politics.

That an acute sense of hearing is good
thing in a detective is proved once more by the
arrest of three young burglars who talked over
their plans in a restaurant within earshOt OF
two of Inspector Byrness men. They "gave
themselves away" in the easiest manner possi-
bic and were pounced upon as soon as they
entered the shop which they had " cracked"
When they come out of Sing Sing they will
probably know enough to talk in whispers
when planning a crime.
The strike of the miners will probably not
long be maintained unbroken ii the feeling
shown by vote at the William Penn colliery
is at all general On the question of con-
tinuing the strike there were liz votes in the
affirmative and LOG in the negative 1t is said
that the old miners are disposed to resume
work and that they are irksome under tho
leadership of the younger men, A single break
I'm the ranks of the strikers will speedily be
followed by the collapse of the movement.
So well aware were men interested In land
and similar claims of the influence that South
ern members OF Congress had with MIR. Lamar
when at tho head of the Interior Department
that some of them were shrewd enough to
secure such members as associate counsel In
some important cases Mr.. Lamar not only lent
q willing car to these attorneys, but even ac-
cepted their argument as the basis for his
rulings. II will be interesting to note how far
this habit abides with him in case of his con-
frmation as Supreme Court Justice.

The fact that Southern iron Is sold in con-
siderable quantities at prices below those at which,
| in view of uncertainty about fuel, Pennsylvania
makers willing to contract, illustrates how
easily strikes may drive business away from a
region and take from labor its possibility Of en-
| ployment at satisfactory wages. The question
whether Fall River spnners will also strike is yet
unanswered. and the epidemic Of wages warfare
which appeared about the middle of December
continues to spread That it can help neither IN
| dustry nor trade is plain.
The speculative markets are generally weaker

Wheat and flour close as they did on January Z;

changes in the transporting interest are still
toward lower rates, though it may be hored that
the stronger trunk lines have secured measure
of peace, without great loss Of traffic ny conced-
ing dfferental rates on wcst-bound freight to the
weaker lines
In Wall Street there prevails strong conviction
that everything that Congress or the Administra-
ton can do for the relief of business interests,
that is for the uplifting of prices and the revival
Of speculation, will be done until after the cleo
ton. This belief unquestonaby lies at the bottom
OF most OF the strength which remains. The
country now has in use, outside tho Treasury,
about 1890, 900 Of various kinds Of money :,
and yet stocks lower than they were six
months or year ngo.and prices of products would
be little il any higher but for the venturesome
work Of syndcates and the partial failure OF crops.
MIR. Benncr, the oracle, predicts in "The Real Fs-
tato Record" season Of low Trices severe drouth,
business uncertainty and industrial depression, to
be terminated in November by the election Of O
Republican President But people in large and
increasing number who have not the gift Of
pro- hecy, can see that incapacity in Congress and
hatred Of protection disturb business and indus
try, and that uncertainty can hardly end until
lhe present control Of the Government ends
whether pouring out moro currency will overcome
the influence Of vicious Treasury rulings and Con-
gressional unwisdom remains to be seen.
