Touching story OF a Dog.

A touching incident. illustrating the
higher forms Of animal instinct. is told
of dog which was the companion OF
Watchman Theodore Grote, who was
killed in the yard at the Providence
Railroad station in this city recently.
says the Boston Heraid. Mr.. Grote
lived at Boylston Station and the dog
usually accompanied him into the city,
and returned home alone, carrying a
daily paper 10 his mouth to his family.
After Mr.. Grote's death the dog mani
tested constant uneasiness, wandering
about the house. whining. and going
from one person TO another, asking
what had become Of his master. After
the funeral the dog disappeared. and n
search disclosed the fact that he had
come In town, and was wandering
about the station and yard. appealing
to the people engaged there, and whom
he knew, IN a most pathetic manner.
The parties in search of him tried to
persuade him to follow them. but with
out success. until one of them pro.
cured paper folded ii. put il in his
mouth. and pointing toward home.
told him to 20, when he sprang for
ward. and ran OF as happy, apparent
ly, as before his bereavement.

A Federal EssstIon Law.

II any Intelligent and loyal company Of

Free and honest elections And IL Is
gratifying to know that general desire Is

sign Of hope and progress must be
set the depressing and undeuiable fact
that election laws and methods are

D.feadins Tn. Tariff BilI.

The apprehension that our tariff may
again and at once be subjected TO import
ant general changes would undoubtedly
add depressing influence Of the most
serious character. The general tariff act
has oaly partially gone into operation, SOME
Of It's fhportant provisions being limited
70 take effect at future dates. The gem
eral provisions Of the law having been In
force less than sixty days its permanent
stand in conjecture. Il II curious 70 note
that TIE advance In prices OF articles
wholly unaffected by the act was by many
hastily ascribed To that act Notice was
not taken OF the fact that the general ton
dency OF the markets was upward, from
influences wholly apart frem the late tsr-
in legislation. The enlargement OF our
currency by the silver bill undoubtedly
gave an upward tendency 10 trade and had
a marked effect on prices, but this natural
effect Of the silver legislation was by many
attributed 10 the tariff act.
There Is neither wisdom nor justice in
the suggestion that the subject OF tariff
has had q fair trial it's ddite true that
every tarid schedule is subject 10 objec-
tons. No bill was ever framed, suppose
that In all Of it's rates ana classifcsti0ns
had the full approval even OF party eau
Gus. Such legislation Is always and ne
cessarily the product OF compromise as 10
details and the presentlavy Is no exception,
but IN It's general scope and effect / think
IL viii Justify the support OF those who
believe that American legislation should
conserve and defend American trade aud
the wages Of American workmen. The
misinformation as 10 the terras OF the act
which has been so widely disseminated At

The Country's Trade.

] congratulate the congress and the
country upon the passage at the first ses.
sion OF the Fifty-fir congress OF an on
usual number Of laws Of very high import
anee. That the results ,jf this Legislation
will be the quickening and enlargement oil
our manufacturing industries, larger and
better markets for our breadstufs and
provisions, bosh at home ind abroad, more
constant employment and better wages for
our working people and SIN increased sup
ply of q safe currency fo,, the transaction
Of business, do not doubt. Some oi
the measures were enacted at 80 late q
period that the beneficial effects upon com.
meree which were In the contemplation oi
congress have as yet but partially mani.
Tested themselves.
The general trade and industrial condi.
tons throughout the country during the
year have shown marked Improvement
For many years prior TO 1sss the merchan-
disc balances Of foreign trade had been
largely In our favor, bnt during that year
and the year following they turned against
US. II is very gratifying 70 know that tho
last fiscal year shows balance In our fagos
OF over 6s million dollars. The bank clear.
ings, which furnish good test of the vol
urne OF business transacted for the first ten
months OF the year 1890, show, as compared
with the same months OF 1885, ap increase
lOf ptlS NHoic tOuntfy VI dUout ga per cent.
while the increase outside the city Of Ne "
York was over i3 per cent.
Tbs value Of our exports Of domestic
merchandise during the last year was over
lis million dollars greater than the preced.
ing year, and was only exceeded once In
our history. About 100 million dollars d
this excess WAS in agricultural products
The production Of pig iron-alwsys good
gauge OF general prosperity--is shown By
q recent census bulletin I'd have been lsa
per cent greater In 1890 than in 1850, an
the production Of steel 900 per cent greater
Mining In coal has had no Limitation excep,
that resulting from deficient transportation
The general tendency is that labor Is every.
where fully employed and the reports fOr
the last year show smaller number Of
employees affected by strikes and lockoute
than IN any year since 1854. The depres-
sion In prices Of agricultural products had
been greatly relieved and buoyant and
hopeful tone was beginning, to be felt by
all our people.
These promising influences have been In
some degree checked by surprising and
very unfavorable monetary events which
have recently taken place In England. /,
Is gratifying 70 know thag these did not
grow In any degree out Of the financial re.

NOTICE lSith great pleasure the state
meat " the secretary that the receipts
from internal revenle have increased dur
ing the last fiscal year nearly IL million
dollars, and the cost Of collecting that
larger revenue was less by s90,6l7 than for
the same proportion In the preceding year.
The percentage OF cost OF collecting the
customs revenue was less fer the fiscal
year than ever before.
The efforts Of the Secretary 10 increase
the volume 5f rn0hey In circulation by
keeping down the treasury surplus 10 the
lowest practicable limit, have been unl,e-
mitting and, IN very HIGH degree, SUCCESS
fnl. Tables presented by him showing The
increase Of money In circulation during
the last two decades and especially the
nineteen months he has administered the
affairs OF the department., are interesting
and instructive. The increase OF money
in circulation during the nineteen months
has been In the aggregate f93, S66,Bl3, or
about 81 80 per capiiil aud Of this increase
