unusually large accounts, but prices
do not improve. Much uneasiness is
felt IN portions of the south, and COL
lectlons are not above par, while
the number of failures in some
southern districts is large. The
money markets are nowhere dis

rates at interior points firm. In nearly
all quarters the supply is ample for Ie-
gltlmate business, but and per cent

for speculative transactions the pay

been somewhat larger than last years.
Foreign trade is better sustained than
would naturally be expected in view of
the arrest of the breadstufTs movement,

the late considerable advance does not
put prices as high on the whole IS they

with goods at present prices, it is a
question how largely manufacturers

influence.

superintendent Weber, of z. G. M.
l., says that the business of this season
compares very favorabIy with that Of
1887. In November, the institution did
business of about $218, 900, and this
amount did not vary $500 from the
business OF November, 1887. He
thought that the purchasing power of
the people hal been ourtailed by differ
ent influences, such as the partial
failure of the fruit crops and the clos
Ing down of the smelters in this
county. But still there was no cause
to complain; business had held its own,
if it had not increased. Mr.. Webber
said the prospect for heavy holiday
trade was very good, and the whole
sale toy department of q. G. NJ. I. was
being drawn upon heavily. Collections
are fair.

his greeting to the reporter. ae thought
the holiday trade this year would sur
pass that of any previous year, and
next year will beat them all. Mr..

future for trade in salt Lake, and he
thinks that the year 1889 will reveal
much of what is to come.

The First Presidential Election.

The first presidential election oc-
Cured in 1888. There was then no
controversy as to the head of the
ticket, for though Washington was a
Federalist, both parties gave him their
support. There was then no national
convention and no canvassing of the
people for votes, as in nearly every
state the presidential electors were
chosen by the legislature. Only ten
states voted at all, New York not being
able to choose electors as the state
senate was controlled by one party
and the assembly by the other, and
they could not be brought together In
Joint ballot. Rhode Island had not
yet come into the Union, and so had
no share in the honor of the elevation
of Washington to the chief magis-
tracy. Neither did North Carolina
participate in the voting, though she
had ratified the constitution. When
the electoral college met every vote
was cast for George Washington as
the first president. For vice. presi-
dent there was bitter contest and
there were several candidates, chief of
whom were John Adams and George
Clinton, of New York. Though the
votes were finally mostly cast for the
other candidates, Mr.. Adams had
thirty -four votes out Of sixty nine,
one less than q majority, but was
elected on the ground Of having the
"next highest" number. Had New
York voted at ell her support would
have been given to Clinton, and the
Adamses would probably never haN,
resided In the White House. The his
tory of those times shows that there
was as much bitterness Of feeling,
even if not more, than exists on such
occasions in our day. Hamilton, Clin-
ton, and Jay were violently opposed
to Adams and did everything in their
power to defeat him. Hard names
were called and intrigues were en-
tered upon which were far from being
creditable to the patriots, whose
names we delight to honor. On the
whole, we think there has been an i'm
provement In modern elections rather
than retrograde, though with hun
dred years between It Is somewhat
difficult to institute comparisons.

Not q Bad Test Of Faith.
San Francisco Wash.

A plumber and an upholsterer were
recently engaged in ftting up fash
.oHsb.s residence In Van Ness avenue,
and got into discussion 40 to which
was the heavier, q pound of lead OF
feathers.
"Pll bet you tour bits that / can
prove TO you that pound OF lead il
heavier than pound Of feathers, " said
the plumber.
"Pll take that bet" said the uphol.
sterer.
The plumber cut OF q piece of lead
pipe and pared II down until II weighed
sixteen ounces. Then he got from
the upholsterer the same weight In
feathers.
Now said the plumber, holding
the lump OF lead In his right hand and
the bag Of feathers In his left hand.
"let me drop the lead on your left foot
and the feathers on your right, and II
/ do not prove that the lead IL heavier
Pll pay four bits."
The man Of feathers would not con-
sent TO the trial, but paid for the
whisky and cigars.
