Increase Its Resources.

News Of the Day.
(By Associated Prsss.)

BERLIN, Jan. 18.-Emperor William
opened the Prussian Diet to-day in the
White Hall of the Castle.
The Emperor, in his speech. pointed
out the growing deficiency in the esti-
mates, saying that these difficulties,
coupled with the increasing demands Of
the Empire upon individual States,
could only be removed by a ~reorganiza-
ton of the financial affairs Of the En-
pire and an adequate increase of its
own resources.
The Government, the Emperor added,
continued its efforts to promote the pros
perity of the agricultural classes. so as
to enable them to cope with bad times,
and the Government would also endeavor
to effect the requisite changes in the
laws relating to land. which were re-
garded as necessary by agricultural bod
les.
The revenue returns for 1893 show that
the expenditure exceeds the grants by
40. oO0,0 900 marks. This excessive %expendi-
ture is mostly for military purposes.
and a bill of indemnity will be neces-
sary. The result. 1t is said, will be that
some exciting debates in the Reichstag
are unavoidable.

Late and Early Retail business.
To the Editor;

To the Editor;
Some weeks ago we organized to endeavor to
have all business houses observe the Saturday
Half Holiday law to the extent Of a 3 or 1 o'clock
closing at least. We have had our special atten-
tion called to the 5 o'clock opening OF uptown
stores In the morning. and a watch was stationed
at one OF the most prosperous houses in the chop
ping district last week. He brought us back the
following information: Saturday was the only day
upon which a single customer entered the store
prior to $50 A. NJ, but eight customers only
entered before 9. and business did not demand
their opening before Q o'clock, the general business
hour in this city. 1t was limited to our watcher that
that these few early goers were persons trying to
get the best for their money out OF Christmas
gifts, and he accordingly watched the cashiers
desk on Saturday. The first cash was not turned
in till $50. II business does not demand It. why
should these merchants open their establishments
an hour previous to the general opening hour OF
ofces and downtown houses7 We are not yet
ready to make a public announcement in regard
to Saturday carly closing. as we are at present
examining some strong legal points in our favor.

THE HoRNBLoWER REJECTION.

Mr.. Hornblower's rejection by the SEN
ate yesterday marks a victory for Sena-
tor Hill in his first fair, ~stand-up fight
with the Administration. 1t is claimed
hat the refusal to confirm the nomina-
tion had no political significance, and
that 1t was simply the honest expression
Of the Senate on the lack of qualification
of the nominee. But there can be no
doubt that the result was intended more
as a reLuke to the President thar as a
protection to the Supreme Court. The
complaint of Senator Hill. strongly
backed up by Senator Hoar, that the
failure to consult the New York Senator's
as to the nomination was IA lack Of
courtesy and propriety IN the part of
the President. makes the point clear.
The nomination of Mr.. Hornblower
was n mistake. 1t was wholly n per-
sonal appointment. and was not one
that could command the approval Of
the people. 1t placed In the hands of
MIR. Cleveland's enemies In the Senate a
weapon they could use effectively
against him. and they were not slow to
avail themselves OF it. 1t Is not %fiatter-
ing to the Democratic Administration
hat 1t sought to escape defeat by Re
publican assistance.
Mr.. Cleveland would have acted wisely
in Withdrawing Mr.. Hornblower's name
without inviting n fight ,ver his con-
firmation. While the debate was car
ried on with propriety. and while every
thing was smooth on the surface, such
scrambles over a high judicial office
are unseemly and hurtful.
II Ia IN ha hnpe6 that the ppxf pomI-
nation will be one hat will commend
itself at once to public favor and make
opposition impossible.

YESTERDAYS HORROR.

No greater mistake could be made
than to tale this view OF a great and
terrible crime. When II railroad disaster
has happened which would not ave hap
pened IL the block system had been in
use, the plain Judgment on the manage
ment Of the road Is that it has wantonly
sacrificed human lives in the attempt
to put too much money in the pockets
OF the owners OF the road.
From this responsibility there should
not be any escape. The killing Of human
beings through lack of proper and ordi-
nary provisions of safety Is man
slaughter, and public opinion and public
Justice hould unite in demanding that
