ascend last year to Karayul, the captain
being unable to believe THAT there was
water enough to take him up, and hav.
ing no steam launch to feel his way.
This years investigation, however, de-
monstrated the existence of a channel
through the entire estuary, with suffi-
cient water for vessels of any draught.
II does not appear that the ice in the
Kara Sea presents very serious obsta-
Gle. In the fifteen voyages which Cap
tain Virgins made 1884 and 1880 his way
was blocked by ice only once, and that
when he had been prevented from sailing
until too late in the year. 1t will be nee
essary that Siberian-bound vessels should
sail from British ports not later than the
first week in August in order to reach the
mouth of the Yenisei in time to make
the homeward voyage the same season,
but, this precaution observed, the Kara
Sea need be no bugbear to navigators.
The estuary of the Yenisei is broad and
studded with islands, and is swept by
northeast gales, so that the river craft
dare not brave it, Last year the revenue
craft waited at the head of the estuary
and the merchantmen from England
waited at the mouth and they never met,
but this years experiment has proven
that the estuary is safely navigable.

The moral tone of the United States
Senate will not be improved by the intro
duction of the suceessor-elect of Wade
Hampton of South Carolina. Those who
remember the assassination of Editor
Dawson of Charleston and the acquittal
of the assassin will not be greatly sur
prised at South Cardinals choice for
United Stated Senator, man once a
fugitive from justice for an offence which
the statutes of this State would probably
define as murder. The graphic partic-
ulars of Senator-elect Irby's career were
printed yesterday, and they form any
thing but a preparatory school of states
manship. The elevation of this man to
a senatorship is disgrace to- South
Carolina; it is disgrace to the farmers
movement with which he is identified;
it is disgrace to the nation.-Troy

snow hope your satisfied" said Mr..
Jones of Bennington, to the wife OF his
bosom morning or two age; ''you've
left the water to freeze in the pump till
now the pipe is bursted and | am money
out Of pocket. 1t beats all how little
forethought woman has. Talk about
woman's rights, and he went off for the
plumber in high dungeon, while meek
little Mrs. Jones bided her time. The
plumber and Jones worked faithfully all
the forenoon and soldered up what they
supposed to be holes; put on the pump,
tried it in vain, and then reinspected the
pipe. Finally they renewed the packing
and whitfield out a new valve; but IL was
no use, the obstinate appliance refused
to elevate the water and the two men
simultaneously scratched their heads.
At this interesting juncture Mrs. Jones
innocently observed that it might be that
there wasn't any water in the cistern.
The plumber looked at Jones and Jones
looked at the plumber with an express
sion on the face of each that said as
plainly as speech, the word "sold."
Get me a string and piece of candle"
said Mr.. Jones family. But why expose
his modification to the world. Suffice
1t TO say he is patiently waiting for a
thaw or rain, and is doing everything his
wife tells him TO like little man.

THE WOOL TRADE.

The sales this week by Vermont
farmers shows slight increase over
those for the previous week. Prices are
materially unchanged, If anything, a
dealer says, they are little firmer.
The wool raisers know that stock is light,
and this fact gives the market greater
strength and wooden mills are running
on full time at Bennington, Middlebury
and Winooski. This is another indication
that wool will improve. The stringency
of the money market has undoubtedly
retarded sales, as the farmers are
unusually careful about selling on credit,
and cash buyers can get but little con
cession in price. The farmers do not
seem over-anxious to sell, as they know
that it will be wanted. Vermont farmers
who raise wool keep closer watch of the
wool market than any other. They feel
satisfied with the present condition,
December is not very good month
usually to sell wool.

TRADE Ann MONEY

Except retail holiday business. the
world of trade is feeling the effects of
the money stringency, and such are the
uncertainties of congressional action that
hardly any improvement is looked for
TIL after the first of January. Till that
time the contraction incident to prep
arations for interest and dividend paw
ments will probably discourage enter
prise. The iron trade in particular is
suffering from the stringency. The rail-
roads can't get money to buy rails or
bridges or cars with, and customers who
once paid cash now offer paper. The
volume of business is light, and prices
are shaded freely, except for structural
goods.
The pig iron production on the first of
November, 345 furnaces being in blast
and 100 out of blast. Nineteen stacks
have just been reported, however, as out
OF blast in the Birmingham district,
q slight increase, probably, on the
figures given for the first of the month.
The dry goods district is getting ready
for the inventories at the close of the
year. Demand is quiet, being largely
duplicative in character, but prices are
very firmly held. The years trade
seems to be winding up at interior
points as well, and business is lighter
than for some time Immediately past:
heavier, however (outside of New York;,
than last year, as shown by bank clear
ings.
The showing by railroad gross earnings
for November is an increased volume of
40 per cent. as compared with 1889.
Considering that November was disa-
greeably eventful, including the election,
the resulting unsettlement of values here,
and the disturbance of confidence
abroad, this improvement is very favor
ably interpreted.
The early part of last week saw tenn
porary return to the neighborhood of 200
per cent. for money. But the treasury
disbursements for bonds, the importa-
lions OF gold and the strong position and
favorable inaction of the Bank of Eng
land restored confidence in some meas
ure, and the bank statement of Saturday
showed that the banks had increased
their reserves aud considerably CON
tracted their loans.
The interior cities report a more favor
able money situation, and if Congress
would either do something and do il
quickly or assure the country that il
would do nothing, matters would be
better. The prospect of unscttling silver
legislation is something of disturber OF
confidence, but the most desirable state
of affairs would be one in which the
money market could take care of itself
without these frequent and frantic APP
peals to Washington to come over and
help us.
There is ray of hope of some perma.
nent and valuable adjustment of the
monetary question in the talk in French
Ministerial circles of an active effort to
bring about another international silver
conference with view to a common
ration of gold and silver. 1t is hoped
that President Harrison will actively
promote such cosummation; for free
coinage is coming to us, and a common
ratio would rob us of its terrors.-N. Y.

THE SEA ROUTE no sTBERIA,

prOhibitive cost. Now, with only one
transshipment by the way, they have
been delivered straight from the port If
London to the quays of an emporium in
Central Siberia.
Two ships and small but powerful
| tug were dispatched from London at the
end of July. The Kara Sea was excep.
tionally full of ice, and the ships were
detained by ice foes, but they reached
Karavul, 100 miles up the Yenisei, with
out accident, in 80 days. Remaining
there 10 days, they took 20 days to re,
turn, and were thus only 81 days away
| from the London docks. At Karayul
they met the river expedition, which re-
turned safely to Yeniseisk, and there
landed and warehoused the cargo. The
most difficult part of the route was the
100 miles of estuary between Golcheka,
at the mouth of the Yenisei and Kara
vul, at the head of the estuary. Captain
Virgins, commander of the Labrador,
who has made repeated attempts to open
up this route, and to whose enthusiasm
the final success is largely due, could not

The recent municipal election in
Salt Lake City, is decidedly refresh
ing. The Mormons were beaten in
the city elections by the gentiles,
under which namethey comprehend
everybody not Mormon. So the
the capitol andstronghold Of lecher-
Gus religion and of lasciYious poll
tico. church, has passed under Chris
tian civilization. 1t is the prelude
to the death Of the great American
iniquity. The death-blow will be
dealt when they are beaten for the
territorial legislature, and are thus
shorn of all political power. The
sooner it dies the better for Nor
monism and everybody else. In
this connection, we note that their
missionaries seem to hayeabandoned
the South. They found a sterile
soil for their faith.
