STUBBORN FACTS

In the Shape of Figures Show Big Gains
Over Last Year.
Because Tom. Dick and Harry say that busi-
ness is solid and fiourishing it does not neces-
sarily follow that such is the case, but when
the manager of the Clearing House gives out
figures backing up the statement there is no
longer room for doubt.
The bank clearings last week reached the
large total of s17 2624 q against SIS 464 262 25
the previous week, and Sl3, $50, 566 80 for the
same week last year. showing a gain of s3256.-
07 81 over 1889. There is no need to add any
thing 70 this exhibit. There is business to
show for the figures or they would not be
given out. The gain over last year to date is

advance was scored by Lus er, which recovered
nearly all the loss sustained by the raid. Pitts

The depression was not due to the discovery
of any weak spots in the interests handled. but
employment of money in other directions and
in part by the fact that investors have about
all the stocks they want to carry through the
rest of the year.

Tie House and the Tariff Bm

The House is done with the tariff bill for
the present 1t will have something more
t. do with it after awhile, however. The
Senate isn't going TO pass it in its present
shape. 1t will amend it in 50 many partic-
ulars that it will be hardly recognizable,
unless the Senate republicans do as the
House republicans did, viz, decide in caucus
that it shall not be amended, and shall not
be discussed longer than a certain number
of days.
The bill would not have got through the
House in its present shape, if at all, if il
had not been made a caucus measure. There
are a number of republicans who would
not have voted for it under any other cir
cumstances. Under the caucus rule even
Mr. But erworth, who vigorously con-
demued it. voted for it.
Aud what contradictory bill it isl It
both upholds and denies the principle of
protection. There is no tin plate produced
in this country, and yet it puts an enormous
duty on that article for the alleged purpose
of building up tin plate industry. A very
large amount of sugar is pro iuced in this
country, and yet the sugar planter is de-

these two articles. Indeed, they do not at
tempt to reconcile them. Consistency is
not one of their virtues. They wanted to

Of those out of whom they expect to ''fry
the fat" when the next presidential cam
paign begins, and so they decided to put
sugar on the free list--that is, the grades Of
sugar that are produced by the planter.
They took good care to give the sugar re-
finers just as much protection as they de-
manded.
And it is by no means certain that the
revenue will be reduced if the bill becomes
law, because the bill increases the duties
on very many articles 1t was asserted on
the floor of the House that the increase for
which the bill provided was greater than
the reduction, and the assertion was not
denied.
That the bill is crude one is generally
admitted. Hundreds of amendments that
were offered were not considered at all. In
fact, the different schedules of the bill were

The Biggest Scheme Yet.

There is not much doubt that within a
very few years an intercontinental railway
will connect the leading cities of the United
States with those of Central and South
America. The pam American congress
recommended the building of such rail-
way. and the President on Saturday sent to
congress Mr.. Blaine's letter asking for an
appropriation of $4,000 with which to
make this country's part of the preliminary
survey. The President, in transmitting
Mr.. Blaines letter, strongly commended
the scheme, and there is no reason to doubt
that the appropriation will be made.
The building of the proposed railway will
not be such wonderful undertaking after
all. Mexico and nearly all of the Central
and South American states have railway
systems that can be utilized. Indeed, after
the surveys are completed the railway
could be completed within comparatively
short time.
1t is expected that all the Central and
South American states will take lively
interest in it. There is no reason to fear
international complications, in the absence
of treaties, with regard to the matter, be-
cause the pan'American congress recon-
mended that the territory to be traversed
should be neutral, and that no taxes should
be levied upon the railway company. 1t is
quite certain that the recommendation of
the congress will be approved. Within a
few years, perhaps, one may go to Buenos
AyreS in palace car.

that afternoon the landlord carried us ont to

Revenge is sweet.

In one of the largest of this cty's hotels, says
the New York Times, there stands prominent in
the lobby nickel-in-theslot weighn machine
of massive proportions and enticing appearance.
Il ordinarily does its work honestly and accu-
rately, throwing out a card with the date and
Weight printed on it, and throwing 10 a sweet
snatch of operate melody. But its internal
anatomy became disarranged a few DAYS ago.
just as very thin patron of the hotel who is
under treatment with view to attaining COM
Portable and slightly plumpness, came in for his
daily weigh.
He dropped the nickel in and hoped nimbly
upon the platform, but no strain of music met
bis ear and no card showing a pound or two of
development dropped into his expectant hand
lie then jumped lightly up and down upon the
platform few times to see it the thing would
start, and put another nickel in the slot. Still
the machine remained mute, aud the disap-
pointed thin man pounded on the platform with
all his strength, and poured a stream of nickels
IN the capacious slot for the next ten minutes
with no result but a grievous loss OF temper
and two pounds of recently acquired avoir-
dupos.
The hotel clerk had the machine repaired the
next day, and notified mis- slender guest of the
fact that evening after dinner
Its been fixed, eh?" said the guest That's
good. Much obliged. But what about all those
nlckelS put in last night?'
The clerk thought they had gone to swell the
ulVluendS OF the weighing machine company
and intinlated that the guest was not acting in
the wlsest possible manner when he put his
money into broken machine.
We'll, maybe wasn't" said the guest, but
m going to get square just the same" So he
wandered down to the basement, borrowed q
hammer and thin nail, drove hole in the
nickel. begged a bit of thread and tied it
therein and visited the weighing machine. He
lowered the nickel until 1t touched the spring to
set the arrangement in motion and then pulled
1T up again in safety. He weighed himself a
dozen times and weighed everybody else in the
lobby until he thought he and the machine
were at a financial dead center and then let the
nickel, thread, and all go into the strong box OF
the instrument.
