English Capitalists Not Satisfied.

English Capitalists Not Satisfied.
As might have been expected, the passage
of the seigniorage bill in the senate does
not meet the approval of the foreign press,
and the English papers are particularly wor-
ried over what they term ''retrograde legis-
lation, calculated to impair the stability of
American securities" This London view
may have tendency to strengthen Presi.
dent Cleveland in his determination to
interpose veto, IN the interest of Wall
street and foreign benefciaries Of the gold
standard. The mere suggestion from one
of these sources that their privileges are en-
dangered is usually sufficient to make Cleve-
land valiant warrior in their behalf, and
the hope that he might approve the bill is
likely to be shattered II they persist in their
objections to the act, The desires of John
Bull and the New York bondholders are all
powerful with the present administration,
while the interests Of the great mass of
Americans are secondary in Importance.
With the country at large, however, the
views of the English press will not be re~
garded as of any consequence. Legislation
is demanded for the welfare of the United
States, and the steadily growing sentiment
in favor of placing silver on q parity with
gold cannot be long obstructed by the pro.
tests of old world Shylocks The seigniorage
bill is not oil that is needed, but it is stop
in the right direction and must ultimately
be enacted into law.-Jamestown Alert.

March 20 delayed by the storm).-The
beautiful weather which we have been
having has taken sudden change and
turned cold and snowy once more. .....Jim
OKief, the man who stole Joe Cooks
overcoat and sold it to Henry Ester, has
been heard of once more-this time at
Thomas Morton's, on the Little Beaver.
While Tom was in Winona Kief searched
the house and found 81 in cash and fine

parts unknown. If he keeps on that way
he will get q suit of striped clothes. -.
John McCrory's teams, hauling oats, re-
turned from Eureka last Sunday. Lin

He reports that the people were sowing
grain, and that the roads were very good

him of the great mark of favor be-
slowed on him from heaven. The

looked at it contemporary, remark
ing that any worm could eat out as
good aspicture as that. lie then snap
ped it with his cane aud left. The In

hacienda and 1000 bales of cotton
were burned, and the incendiarism has
been traced to the Indian. The other
Indians were aroused over the suppos-
ed indignity, and have all assembled
and are heading great feast. A Pc

The republicans secured possession of

They are still in possession and say
that they will retain the advantage
they have gained. The republicans
asked Governor Wortz for the keys of
the chamber. The Governor refused
to have anything TO do with the mat

He referred them to Michael Nathan,

years of age in the United States, who

poses, the preference of SO many men

the number of single women.

TRADE REVIEW.
Cheering Notes of ReviyaI-The Tide 10
Turning More Hopeful Signs.

r. Il. Dun IL Co.'s weekly revicw
of trade says: Business has distinctly
imp owed since the new year came and
the gain is no longer visible only in
speculative markets. 1t is the only
kind of Improvement that has in it
possibilities of lasting, because it is
based upon actual increase in the pro-
duction by industries. AS all rejoice
to see it, there is perhaps little dis
position to reckon on the gain greater
than ii is as yet, but several large es-
adjustments have started with part
force, hoping to increase, and moro
smaller works have started than have
stopped. Orders from dealers whose
stocks approach exhaustion form a
prominent cause, another Is the widely
prevailing impression that action at
Washington will be more satisfactory
than many have expected and belief
that in any case the situation will not
be changed until goods now in the
works can be marketed, having weight
in some trade Whatever the causes,
even a moderate gain is most cheer
ing.
The output of pig iron Jan. l, is
rcckoned by The Iron Age, at 99,087'
tons weekly, which is slightly less than
Dec, 1, though Pittsburg authority
makes it little larger. In each case
if is from Al to AZ cents less than
year ago, and the stock of unsold pig
decreased by 19,457 tons in December,
though they decreased as much in No
vember. Several furnaces begin pro-
duotion this month and prices show
no recovery. Indeed, the Low-Moore
works in Virginia have reduced the
price of No. foundry to $13 per ton,
and finished products are weaker,
steel bars and billets again making
the lowest price on record, though the
line is more hopeful both here and at
the West, with little more business.
Copper, tin and lead are weaker.
Sales of wool for the week are
2,7S6, 300 pounds at the three chief
markets, against 5 1896, 800 last year,
but there is.more inquiry from worsted
and carpet manufacturers, some haT-
ing started machinery. Overcoatings
are 10 to 10 per cent lower than
yehr ago, UuL tHe uoliFeTloS VI ufess
goods are larger than of late, and the
demand is more urgent.
In cotton goods there is no definite
change. Shipments of boots and shoes
for the week were less than week
ago, but there is a confidence that tue
business must soon increase.
Atlantic exports of wheat were only
$4,000 bushels against 1,48S, 900 last
year stocks in sight decrease but little,
and government crop estimates get lit
tie attention. Corn is naturally weak.
er with very large receipts though ex-
ports are sixty per cent larger than
year ago.
Cotton has been lifted by specula-
ton S-16, though the decrease in re-
ceipts is not large and stocks in sight
here and abroad are, big enough to
meet nearly half years consumption.
Bank clearings also indicate that no
large gain has occurred as yet in the
volume of business, being - per cent
smaller than year ago.
Failures for the week have been Ala
in the United states against 216 last
year and 81 in Canada against 20 last
year. The liabilities Of all firms fall
ings were $5,672, 544.

Suicide Jack Newton Saves the Re-

John Newton, student at Bethel
college at Russellville, Ky, committed
suicide Monday night. He used NOR
phine. When found in his room this
morning the following advance ac-
count Of the tragedy written by him
self was discovered on the table:
"Jack Newton of Cadiz, KY, who
had been attending school here for the
past six months, was found dead this
afternoon In DR.. Harrel's office with
a dagger in his hear. No cause is
assigned for the rash act. Newton
had always been con dered an eccen-

He was about twents Years of age and
the son OF Rev. f. M. Newton, a

One of the chief causes of poverty
in the United States, declares the st.
Paul Globe, is the wsstefulness of our
people. They have SO long been ac-
customed to abundance that when
scarcity comes they are not prepared
to successfully combat it. There are
no people on earth who wantonly de-
stroy so much that is useful in sus-
tanning life. 1t has frequently been
said that half q dozen European fam
lilies could be supported comfortably
from the refuse of the table of an
average American family, and the as
sertion is capable of proof. A warmed
over dinner is seldom seen upon the
table of well-to-do American. What
ever is left from meal is usually
dumped into the swill barrel. Fresh,
