were lad on an average about four inches

places on the road were looked after first,
and there are still several pieces in different

The Business Situation.

From all parts of the country come words
of encouragement in relation to the general

provement all along the line, and the best
of 1t is that there is strong, hopeful feeling
in regard to the future The one sign of
uufay OTaDle character is that collections at
some points were slower and harder than
usual particularly where the low price of
cotton leads holders to defer selling as long
as possible. But at the principal West
ern points collections are very salts

Railroads are actually suffering from lack
OF sufficient rolling stock and earnings are
on large scale. The banks have increased

Word comes from the large cities that

\ Desperate Game

The efforts which the New York demo-
Gratis under the leadership OF Gov Hill are
making to secure control of the State SEN
ate are attracting the attention of the en-
tire country owing to the POSSIBLE results
which may follow. The question of inhu-
encn& legislation is important but the con-
stltutional provision which gives authority
to the Legislature to determine the manner
Of choosing presidential electors suggests
the possibility that by securing control Of
the Legislature the democrats may succeed
i'll removing New York from the list of
doubtful States next year and placing
it securely in the democratic CO umn
That party is already assured OF a ma.
j2rity in the Assembly and if the man ayers
succeed in counting ont the republican
senators whose seats they are now after
there will be no obstacle to impede the prog
ress of any electoral scheme which Hal and
his lieutenants may hatch up 1t would be
desperate game to play since the voters of
New Gork could lie deprived OF any power
in the next presidential election. Not only
this, but as the political ompIaxion of the
New FORK electors might determine
the result of the next PRESIDENTIAL
contest the people of the entire
Union might be affected by such au act.
This is what the republicans fear and whio
such Il hlgh-handed proceeding is improba-
lie, it is possibility which is not pleasant
to contemplate. The republicans are max
ing an energetic fight in the courts as well
as before the returning board at Albany,
and any advantage which the democrats are
likely to gain is certain to result from the
arbitrary abuse of power rather than from
any want Of watchfulness on the part of the
republicans

business is most encouraging. Reports
show that sales OF dry goods, novelties,
boots and shoes, leather and rubber have in
creased, with prospect of the improvement
continuing during the year. The market
is good for all kinds Of grain and the large
movement of crops promises increased rail
road dividends. A large holiday trade is
already under way throughout the country
and altogether the outlook could not well
be more encouraging.
