An Iowa Senator and an Editor Have an
Argument.
DIES MONIES, March 10. In the cloak
room during the discussion of the tenn
perance bill, Senator Brewer had an
alteration with S. H. Shoemaker, ed
itor Of the Hampton Chronicle. Brewer
entered the room and Shoemaker spoke
to him. Brewer asked if he was not
editor of The Chronicle, and then said
he desired nothing to do with him.
Shoemaker followed him and asked if
Brewer had not promised to retain the
present ~prohibitory law if elected.
Brewer replied that he had not, and any
man who said so was a liar. A heated
discussion ensued and shoemaker said
Brewer was a liar. He had scarcely
uttered the words when Brewer struck
him in the eye and followed it up with
two more blows. Before any serious
damage was done the men were sep.
ated.

bun & Co. Report Better Business For
the Week.
NEW YORK, March 12.-R. G.. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
Evidences of present improvement in
business multiply, but confidence in
future improvement does not seem to
increase. There is more business and a
larger production by industries, for the
season has arrived when greater activ-
ity is necessary if dealers in stocks are
to be replenished, and those who cannot
make calculations beyond a few months
are the more anxious to crowd as much
trade as they can into these months.
In some branches Of distribution, how
ever, there are indications of diminish
ing demand for goods and the evident
preference for medium and low priced
articles, with the known reduction in
wages and family expenditures, lead
many to feel
Somewhat Less Confident ~
that business will recover it's former vol
ume. Undertakings reaching beyond a
short time are not made with greater
freedom, and, in spite of a larger pres
ent demand, prices Of manufactured
goods tend downward.
The most distinct gain is in iron and
steel manufactured. The output Of pig
iron increased 10 per cent, though it is
still less than a year age Trade in bar
iron is very unsatisfactory and rails are
fiat, and, with a larger production of
coke, contracts are made at as low
prices as ever. Shipments Of boots and
shoes from the East are 1913 per cent
smaller than ayear ago for the same
week, and purchases are still mainly of
medium or low priced goods.
In the textile manufactures and dry
goods there is increased activity and re.

this season. But the demand thus far
falls much short of expectations and

Establish a Precedent.

We are glad Ito learn, from the state
department, that no American citizens
were injured in the Armenian mas
sacres. The escape of our missionaries
from death is a subject for devout
Thanksgiving. 1t Is an escape in no

influences of an American foreign
policy which would be calculated to
render exceedingly dangerous to any
foreign power the maltreatment. with

United States. !
The plea that the United States can
not insist upon the appointment of a
representative upon the Armenian COM
mission of inquiry unless there Is proof
that American citizens have been an
jured in Armenia is in accordance with
International law, as that law is GUS
tomarlly construed between civilized
nations. 1t, however, overlooks the inn
portant fact that Turkey is not civil

When an angel opened them wide, at

Didst thou come this way, o bright New
Year?
Was it forth from the realms of an un-

Sent hither by touch of an unseen hand,
Thou camest today, blest New Year?
Or out from the shades of the saddened
past,
Where the Old Year cares are hid at last,
Hast thou come this way, o best New
Year?
Was 1t down from the heaven that
spreads above
And forth from the land of Eternal Love

With thy spotless robe thou hast entered

And come to stay, o divine New Year?
