NIX. WILSON.

The average man has no conception,
whatever, OF the arduous nature OF the
duties that devolve upon the chairman
Of the Ways aud Means Committee,
who conscientlously performs his duty,
10 the formation Of a revenue measure.
There is work enough in the framing
Of tariff bill for ten men and
yet one must do it all He
must personally supervise every
schedule and item down to the minutest
detail and devote much time and labori-
Gus study to acquiring an intimate
knowledge Of the industries to be az
fected In addition to this, he must
bear the incessant Fostering of inter
ested parties and their lobbyists, besides
the unceasing bowls Of the opposition
and the criticism Of partisan critics
who never grow weary.
In framing the Wilson bill its author
has been subjected to more of this sort
Of annoyance and persecution and has
had more laborious work to perform
than probably any other man who has
undertaken a similar task, in the coun-
trys history. He has done his whole
duty conscienciouslv neglecting no de-
tail, nor Sinking one hours work.
1t is not a matter for wonder that Idr.
WILSON has nearly broken down under
the enormous strain he has endured for
months and is compelled 10 retire from
duty temporarily TO rest and recuperate.
he will go the City Of Mexico, and
there is not one among his colleagues on
either side in Congress, nor any one In
the United States. who knows the
brave, modest aud able West Virginian,
who will not bid him god-speed and
hope for his speedy recovery. Although
Mr.. WILSON is one Of the most thor
ough and consistent Of Democrats,
party lines fade away in the light Of
his personality and every man is his
friend and admirer
a pleasant vacation and a speedy re-
return to good health are the wishes of
all your countrymen, Mr. WILSON

eress at viii. But Mr.. WILSON is
greater than an orator. he is above
the average statesman. He Is patriot
every inch, and his heart and soul must
be enlisted to bring out such fire OF
oratory as klndled the thousands who
heard him to such pitch Of enthusiasm
that the business Of the house had TO be
suspended for fifteen minutes until the
cheering and uprOar in the gallery and
on the floor, in which men of all parties
participate, ended-a demonstration
never equalled since the capitol at
Washington was built.
What does it mean? 1t means that
the people recognize in the Wilson bill
another emancipation proclamation, the
only difference between it andsthe one
made by ABRAHAM LINCOLN a genera
ton ago being that those to be freed
from bondage to-day are confined TO no
one race nor section, while the odds are
far greater, the many, far-reaching and
almost ar-pOwerfnl mopopolies Of to-
day taking the place of the few
slaye-hoIders Of the South in the "six-
ties" There is no other explanation o.
the extraordinary scene at the national
capital Thursday afternoon, and the
unprecedented tribute paid to the fear
less and patriotic author of the Wilson
bill.

RIG. Dun & Co.'s Review of Trade.

New YORK, February 2.-R. G. Dun
& Co. s weekly review OF trade says: A
fresh impulse has been given to bust
ness this week By the success Of the
Treasury in obtaining gold for its re-
serve, thus strengthening confidence in
its ability to maintain gold payments.
Revenue has fallen off so much,
and the prospects for the loan
looked so unfavorable, until f.
nanclal institions here decided
to carry it through, that some anxiety
acout the monetary future was natural.
Gradual improvement in business eX-
plains the appearance Of more CONNER
cial paper,in the market this week than
has been seen for long time, though
as yet the vast accumulation OF idle
funds is proof enough that trade has
by no means Teganed its normal pro-
portions. Industrial recovery cOntin-
ues, though it is but gradual, in re-
spouse to the demand Of a people whose
consumption at its lowest is greater
than that of any other country, and
more mills are now at work.
Larger demand for structural iron
and steel, for railway materials except
rails, for barbej wire, and especially for
wire nails and wire rods, gives better
look to the iron industry both East and
West
Chicago notes distinct Improvement;
at PiNSburg business is large, though
prices do not gain, aud even at Phila-
delPhia trade is better for pig iroh and
finished products, while encouragement
is found In the fact that the prices
do not further decline. Only four OF
the eleven stacks of the Thomas Iron
Company ara in operation and of Con-
nellsville coke ovens S,410 against o.
LOG idle, offers having been made as low
So cents, facts which indicate that the
improvement is not great as yet, but
there are reported heavy sales of billets
and wire rods at slightly better prices.
Two events OF some note are sale of
Bessemer pig at Cleveland $40, and the
capture of an order for sixty miles OF
wrought iron pipe for a Canada COM
pany by the American Tube Works.
Domestic exports for four weeks
have been II per cent lower than q
year ago, while imports have been 81
per cent smaller. Customs receipts
for January were but Sl1,50O, 600,
against s21, 600, 600 last year, and evil

AN EGYPTIAN PRINCE
Spent More Money Than He HAD ana
skipped to Avoid Complications.

spent More Money Than He bad and
Skipped to Avoid Complications.
BERLIN, February military and
social circles h5Fe are discussing SEN
sation which has been caused oy the
complete disappearance of Prince ASST
Hassam, a young Egyptian nobleman
who was serving in the First Dragons
in garrison In this city.
Prince Hassam, ii appears, has oeen
living in an extravaganza style, employ
ing a numter of servants and having
number or horses and carriages.
At the opera, the theatres and also at
the clubs, the young Egyptian prince
was well known and much remarked Tor
his stylish appearance and extreme
liberality.
On the race courses, also, Prince AS
siz Hassam was prominent figure, as
he was heavy better and an unfortun-
ate hacker of fast steeds. Eventual y,
it became rumored that the Egyptian
Prince had been losing great
deal of money on the races
and in other manners familiar
TO all those accustomed to gay life In
large city. The usurers accommodated
him. torvs., while, "bdt, when his debts
amounted to about $4,000, they re-
fused to advance the Egyptian any
more money, and the latter was driven
to his wits ends in order to obtain funds.
Things became more and more des-
perate with the Prince, and few days
ago the horses, carriages and effects OF
the Egyptian "plunger" were seized and
the matter was brought to the attention
of the colonel Of his regiment, who
gave him twenty days in which to pay
his debts or make some satisfactory ar
rangement with his creditors. Appar-
emily, Prince Hassam was unable to
come to terms with his creditors, for it
is now announced that he has vanished
from the sight of all his acquaintances
and that the most dligent search has
failed to find any trace OF his where
abouts.
Naturally the disappearance OF Prince
HasSam has given rise TO several sensa-
tional reports According to one story,
recognizing that the public disgrace
was inevitable and that the Colonel
would soon demand his Withdrawal from
the army, the Prince committed suicide
in some manner and In some place not
known up to the present. According
to another story, the Prince, in
despair, fed from Berlin with a young
lady known in theatrical circles aud
upon whom Prince Hassam Is reported
to have lavished much money and atten-
ton.
In any case. the fact remains that
Berlin is discussing the sensation
caused by the vanishing of the Egyptian
Prince and there is much speculation
among his creditors and others as to his
whereabouts.
