METROPOLITAN papers are beginning
to come in the form of immense wads,
some of which embrace 80 or 40 pages
of their usual edition. Except as
curiosities, such abnOrmally large news
papers are seldom priced. They make
the reader "tired" before he has perused
the headlines, and unless filed away
for reference, the statistical and other
matter is so much in detail that it is
OF little practical utility. Among the

The Outlook for 1890.

The New York COMMERCIAL A1rer-
tiser. published while on the thresi-
hold Of the new year, gives interviews
with prominent business men concern
ing the outlook for the coming twelve
month. If the predictions of success
full business men are of any value, We
may anticipate season of prosperity.
Jay Gould says; :" am confident
tomorrow will begin a year OF pros
peritv. The fundamental reason Il
that crops have been good, which has
benefited transportation companies.
While / was in the West recently
noticed improved conditions every
where. These will still improve in the
new year and add to the wealth of the
country One hopeful feature OF the
year is the money outlook. The next
month about 100000, 900 will be let
loose on the country by payment OF
dividends. This will make money
rates easier and give general relief to
the market. So far as ! have been
able to learn, the coal and iron indus
tries are in excellent condition and
promise great activity during the COM
ing year. In fact, it looks as if these
industries will have a season of I'M
paralleled prosperity.
Erastus II. Wiman, head of the r.
G. Dun Commercial Agency, Alexan-
der Orr, OF the Produce Exchange, and
Jacob d. Vermilye, President of the
Merchants National Bank, all predict
a prosperous year.
Wiman says: In all my business
experience I have not seen more ia
yorable outlook. From all parts of
the country good news is coming in.
Nearly every great industry is re-
ported prospering, and business men
in the large and small trades appear
to be in unusually prosperous circum-
stances. At this time last year the
outlook was not so hopeful, and yet a
very prosperous year, generally speak
ing, has followed. In view of this fact
I think the people of the United States
are justified in having sanguine hopes
for the new year. All the commercial
agencies, whose business it is to look
after commerce of all sorts, are agreed
that a tremendous advance has been
made in the wealth of the country in
1889, and it will be felt benefcially in
1890. I believe the South will have
the most prosperous year in its his
tory. In the Northwest the copper
product will be greater next year
than ever, and the iron industry,
rather new to this region, promises to
flourish. The increase in the coun-
try's wealth is felt in every industry.
I venture to predict that there will be
very few failures next year."

The announcement that a GOODNESS
has sprung up between our Congress,
man and Senators at the national
capital causes a feeling of regret
to surge through the hearts OF
their admiring and expectant constit-
uents. 1t seems that the Congress-
man feels hurt because the Senators
have ignored him in the matter of ap-
pointments and in The preparation
and introduction of bills. 1t is not at
all surprising that Mr.. Wilson should
all at once become impressed with the
utter selfishness of human nature,
when brought in close connection
with the house of lords" and their
austere and exclusive manners when
engaged in putting up the fences for
one of their number. Senator Squire's
term is for but one year, and no it il
that must make the first and best
showing, to satisfy his constituents
and secure a Legislature that will re-
turn him. Senator Allen has always
had the acuteness to accurately dis
Germ which side OF his bread was COW
cred with the oleaginous compound,
and he, of course, stands in with his
wealthy and aristOcrafic COLLEAGUE. So
Mr.. Wilson is, for the present at least,

at the other end of the building are
engaged in the delightful occupation
of erecting elegant castles in Spain.

of flesh. He was literally boiled to
