Condition OF Trade.

tits difficult to detect any change in
current business Prospects for bust
ness after January 1 are quite generally
considered more hopeful, in some
branches there are large orders, and
the West bound shipments of merchan-
disc are little larger But the working
force naturally dininishes near the end
OF the year, and the holiday traffic
brings just now temporary activity
which is not of much general signifi-
canoe. The meeting of Congress, and
the announcement Of the new currency
plan and of various bills proposed, have
not affected the situation pelceptibly.
Payments for bonds have been COM
pleted without disturbance, but DO not
prevent the shipment of some gold to
Europe to-day. On the whole, agricul-
tural products are scarcely stronger,
and wages of labor do not advance, but
there is reason to expect the employ
ment of a somewhat larger working
force after the holidays Review.

TO=nORROW NIGHT.

The benefit entertainment at the
Opera House Friday night, which was
postponed from Dec. eth, is expected to
be great success. The Galley Slave"
is a pretty love romance that always
takes we'll and the cast have spent
much care and time in its preparation.
The house is nearly sold out and a
representative audience will be present.
Many special features have been added
to insure its satisfactory acceptance by
all who attend and the extra week has
made it possible for our amateurs to
give a much better performance than
they could possibly have done on
Friday last. If you have not yet
secured your tickets, do so at once and
pass a pleasant evening in the Opera
House with home talent We are
certain they can please you and their
object is worthy one-to-morrow
night, Friday Dec. 18th.

Tlbbits was another feature that was
very pleasing. They sang nicely and
convinced the audience that they were
clever colored artists.
The skirt dance by Mrs. Gaylord
McNish. of Stevens Point, was pleas
ing part of the program and the
performer proved herself quite an
artist in this line. In spite of her
apparent fatigue she was recalled and
repeated portion of the dance She
appeared IN the Kerm1ss in Stevens
Point and was therefore faultless in her
execution of this difficult and trying
dance
A very pretty part of the program
was a drill by eight young ladies all
dressed alike in Columbian attire red,
white and blue, the Misses Alice
King, Mamie Conway, Grace Hoskinson,
Ida Hoskinson, Laura Bernier Emma
Schnable, Mabel Gardner, Hattie
Whittlesey and Grace Pratt appeared
and sang RED, White and Blue" very
nicely. The young ladies made fine
appearance and won hearty applause.
They were recalled and repeated the
drill.
On Wednesday evening Mr.. Gaylord
McN1sh, of Stevens Point, very cleverly
entertained and amused the crowd for
some time in the "Lone Fisherman's
Dance and also appeared with his
wife in the Dutch dance. These people
are very much at home on the stage
and Mr.. McNish makes very mirth-
provoking character.
During the day and evening meals
were served in the gallery at % cents
per head. The ladies of st. KatEerine's
Guild are entitled to great credit for the
efficient aud successful manner in
which they have conducted the holiday
Market and kermiss. On the last
evening the entertainment was turned
into a dance at 50 cents per couple
extra and few merry hours were thus
passed as grand finale

WASHINGTON CLERkSHIPS.
A DeluSiOn and a Snare is Depart
mental Office Holding.
Atlanta Constitution.

ATLANTA Constitution.
The recent discharge of a large
number OF clerks in the departments
at Washington has disappointed and
possibly ruined many bright men and
women who INDUCED the hope that
they would remain in the service OF
the government for years to come. 1t
is to be regretted that SO many young
sters of ability seek the Washington
clerkShips. Such positions are a
deluSon and a snare. AS rule they
do not pay very we'll, and their
routine work in a short time makes
the clerks unfit for other positions. A
government clerk who is outside of the
civil service grades has no certainty of
keeping his job. He has - spend
every cent of his salary for living
expenses, and the chances are that he
will go in debt. In Washington the
clerk who gets 5000 a year tries to
run with the S1,2oo clerk, who in
turn seeks the companionship of the
SIy yoOo IIClh "lO - CuItlNalIUS the
society of $1,000 office holder.
This way of living forces the clerks to
spend more than they receive. They
get into the clutches OF the money
lenders and very few ever get on their
feet again and square accounts with
the world. The departments at Wash
lngton send out more hopeless wrecks
than any other place in the whole
country. a strongminded young
man may get through all right, but
nine men out Of ten who hold a gov
eminent clerkship five years and then
lose it sink into the mire of poverty or
dissipation. 1t is a rare thing for
them to pick themselves up and make
new start in life. The bright young
fellow who has government clerkship
rendered him will do good days
work for himself by letting it alone.

A Famous Show of Beauty.

The show of distinguished beauty,
transfiXed by famous artists, which is
now taking place at the Academy OF Fine
Arts in New York, has been anticipated
by the Cosmopolitan Magazine in it's
November issue, in an article by VIM. \.
Coffin, with illustrations OF some of the
more beautiful faces. The "Great
Passions of History series has for this
months subject the romantic career of
Agnes Sorel, who influenced the destinies
of France under Charles VII. THE Art
Schools of America, The Great British
Northwest Territory THE Chiefs of
the American Press" and the Public
Library Movement, are amongst the
C6smopoiitans table OF contents. Survi-
vors of the war and their children will
find intense interest in The Story of q
Thousand, personal narrative begun
in this number by Albion W. Tourgee,
who tells in a graphic way, of regiment
which saw fierce service-of it's organiZa-
ton, it's marches, its sports, and it's

ONLY A FIGURE HEAD NOW.
TDaEVille REGISTER.

At the hour of writing TUESDAY
afternoon) the voting is going en- all
over the country, and it is impossible
to know even how to prophecy as to
the result.
If the result shall be defeat to the
Democratic party and the loss of the
House of Representatives, Grover
Cleveland, the president of the United
States and the should be leader of the
party, must bear the blame for that
deplorable result. He is great man
in many respects, but he does not seem
to be man enough or patriotic enough
to lay aside his personal prejudces Tor
the good of the party and for the good
of the country. He seems never to
have realized that he can be of no
service to his country without party
to stand behind him, and that with
Republican majority in the House he
will be only figure head in the White
House.
In a time like this the leader of the
party should have been, in spirit, in
his own State where local differences
threatened the defeat of the party, and
all personal prejudices should have
been laid aside for the common good.
1t was not Senator Hill the Democrats
of New York were fighting for, but it
was the Democratic party. Mr.. Cleve-
land knew this, and when his party
needed him most he was not man
enough to forget his personal preju-
dices He did not raise his hand or
say one word in its behalf, but pre-
ferred to nurse his personal wrath and
act the great big boy. elf | can t
have things my own way l will not
play" said he by his actions.
1t must be admitted, and is admit
ted by all men, that Mr. Cleveland
possesses many eminent qualities, but
he has deserted his party by declining
to lead it in its direst need and when
it was struggling to secure what was
accomplished in the last Congress.
In this struggle his bugle blast would
have been worth many thousand men,
but the blast was not heard, and why
Simply because great man has his
little, local, personal likes and dislikes
What a dsgraoeful figure for great
man to cut.
Be the result what it may, the presi-
dent has lost the reepect of his party
and the respect of the country. Hence
forth he is figure head only.
