BUSINESS MEN on rnE SITUATION.


According 10 the Dry Goods Economist,
inquiries among the leading dry goods
merchants in New York. Boston, Phila
delphia and other Eastern centres of
trade show that the general sentiment
i'm the East is one of confidence. Some
say that the exceedingly bad weather Of
the present spring has somewhat de-
pressed trade, and others say that the
monetary disturbances connected with the
collapse of certain Industrial stocks
eXertcd a temporarily depressing inhu-
ence. Collections. however. are in gem
cral good, and it is believed that the
check which stock-gambling has encoun-
tered win make money more plentiful
for legitimate enterprises.
This is the opinion given by John Olaf
lin, of the II. b. Clahin Company. lie
says that De thinks the siuauon'a great
deal better than it was a week ago, and
that the events in Wall street at the
close of last week lending May 6th), with
the slump in certain overinhated stocks,
have cleared the air A great deal OF
money that has been used in manipulating
these securities has been liberated. the
confidence OF the people in the ability Of
the country to overcome difficulties has
been strengthened, and II is likely that the
banks will be influenced by the prevailing
feeling and relax the unusual caution that
has of late dictated their policy"
This probably expresses the sentiment
of business men generally. but il is
worthy of special note that every mer-
chant who gave an opinion on the bust
ness situation expressed himself as strong
in the belief that all the financial trou-
bles that have been experienced are due
TO the silver policy Of Congress. and that
the Sherman law ought to be repealed IN
order 70 restore universal confidence In
the soundness of the public finances.
II is a matter Of great interest to know
that the sentiment was not confined to the
East by any means. prominent Chicago
contemporary tells us that out OF seven
teen leading business houses OF Chicago
interviewed. nearly all voluntarily de-

nounced the Sherman law and the silver
policy fastened on the country by the Re
publcan party as the chief source Of
nresent financial disturbances and Of
future danger"
So # seems that in the whole Union
North. South. East and West the bust
ness sentiment Is directly opposed to the
Sherman law. and It is evident that so
long as It remains on the statute books
&, will be a menace 10 anything like fnan-
clal confidence. which means disaster to
all classes Of our people. by the time
Congress meets, It is probable that so
heavy a pressure will be brought to bear
upon the members. that from motives Of
pafriotisn1 as well as Of self-lnterest. even
the free silverites will be compelled TO
Weld at least so much Of their position as

NORTHERN yENOM TOWARDS MIR.
DAVIS.

There are some Northern newspapers
which will never come to look upon the
people Of the Southern States otherwise
than as rebels who have forfeited their
lives and their property and who are
permitted 10 retain each by the sufferance
Of their conquerng. masters. The Chi
cago Herald is one Of them. In a recent
issue it says:
"The bloody shirt has disappeared from
the Northern air but the enthusiastic
mummery over the putrescence which is
all that is left Of the Confederate chief
tain viii give those who waved IT their
aptest text and their most eXhilaratlng
inspirations"
Now we want the Chicago Herald, and
all other Northern newspapers who think
with #. TO understand that we Of the
South care not one rap what they may
think Of the tributes which we shall
render TO Mr.. Davis in reinterring him
at Richmond. Mr.. Davis was no more
guilty Of that rebellion and that treason
which they insist upon imputing 10 him
than the humbost private I'm the ranks
Of the Confederate army. The entire
population Of the South was unanimous
I'm their purpose 10 exercise their undoubt-
ed right 10 secede from the Union, and
Mr. Davis did no more in accomplishing
that secession and fn endeavoring 10 main
tain il, than the private soldier did, or
than the man over military age, or the
boy under that age who remained at home
did I'm their way. We tell the Herald That
we will not for an instant accept tire
suggestion that Mr.. Davis was one whit
more guilty than any other Southern man
or woman, and we tell the Herald fur
Their that what II imputes TO us as guilt,
we proudly press upon the attention Of
the world as deeds Of freemen securing
10 them in the minds Of all just and
generous men endless. imperishable re-
nown We tell the Herald that i'm future
ages, when the story of William Tell ex-
cites the patriotism and enthusiasm Of
youths being taught the duties Of men,
Robert Z. Lee and Stonewan Jackson
will be held up TO them as models upon
which they shall fashion their own lives,
and the Herald and those who think
with it will be lucky IL they escape from
that future the judgment Of robbers and
tyrants.
Mr.. Davis was the central and most
conspicuous figure in a cause that was
dear to the hearts Of all of our people
We respected and honored him as the
leading figure in that cause, and because
we knew him TO be unseidsh In his de-
votion to it. We honored him in life
and we respect and revere him i'm death,
and neither the Chicago Herald nor any
Of its compeers shall deter us from show
ing our respect and reverence for his
memory in the most marked and out
spoken way.

When Mr. Gladstone was successful in
the last Parliamentary election in Great
Britain II was not believed possible for
him TO hold together the Heterogeneous
elements that composed his meagre ma
jority. but i'm every division that has been
taken i'm the House of Commons over the
Home Rule bin he has been victorious.
on the second and most important read
ing Of the bill he had a majority of 43.
while in the vote Monday night on the re-
lection Of a proposed amendment his ma
jority was A. This shows that all the di-
verse sentiments naturally existing be
tween the various parties or factions that
compose his following, are by com
mon consent united in the fortunes Of
this measure, which will probably pass
the Commons by about 40 majority. The
bill will. however. be killed in the House
of Lords. and an Irish Parliament will
probably not be In existence for some
time yet to come.

Field Marshal AIurat Halstead says that
there are two Democratic parties, because
there are differing sentiments in the party
as TO silver and removals from office; but
the Field Marshal must be getting very
old if DE has forgotten that last fan there
was two Republican parties, so violently
opposed TO each other. that each killed
the other. The Field Marshal will find
that the Democratic party will be as
united in 96 as they were in - and he
had better cease his concern for it,, and
turn his attention to gathering up the
fragments left of his own political or
ganization.

The Chicago Fair Directory propose 70
give Congress back its donation and open
the Fair on Sundays. BY selling their
souvenir half dollars at one dollar apiece
they can we'll AFFORD to do this, and have
the original donation besides, but one of
the main reasons given for their action is
that Congress withheld 100000 Of the
$4,000 promised the Fair, and that as
Congress has, therefore, broken its con-
tract with the management, 1t is no
longer binding on them. This sounds
plausible enough, but one cannot get rid
of the idea that there has been some
sharp practice somewhere. The manage
ment. 20 be perfectly square, should give

Rev. ]. s. Baldwin. a well-known mis-
sionary 10 the Chinese. says that if the
provisions Of the Exclusion act should be
carried out, the Chinese Government
would deport. in retaliation, every Ameri-
can from that country. This would work
great hardship TO the Americans who
have established themselves in business
in the Chinese Empire, as we'll as de-
stroy all the work American missionaries
have accomplished there. Indeed, it
would be quite possible for the Cainese
Government TO follow the examples set
them in the United states. and accompany
their deportation with blood and carnage.
