Improving Business.

No better evidence of the i'm
proving condition of business can
be found than the increased receipts
of the Postoffices of the large cities.
Particulars are now furnished by
the department for the whole month
of July. The most remarkable
increase is at Chicago, where the
receipts this year are more than
$4,000 above those of year ago,
a gain of nearly 20 per cent. But
July, 1894, was a troubled month
in Chicago, and such an increase is
abnormal. If, however, we exam
inc the returns from all the princi-
pal cities we see that in few cases is
the gain less than 10 per cent,
while in some it rises even to the
Chicago rate. Boston shows re-
ceipts greater by Is per cent, st.
Louis shows Is per cent Brooklyn,
Buffalo, San Francisco, and other
centres show 20 per cent. and more.
The total gain for the month of
July is nearly s35O,OOO, and proba-
bly, as much as two thirds of this is
net gain. AT this rate the deficit
in this department, which is a
chronic one, should be reduced this
year by two or three millions.
The complicated litigation in the
Circuit Court of Ty yler county, grow
ing out of the action of the County
Court in granting license to hotel
keepers to sell Intoxicating liquors
in the town of Sisterville, mention
of which has been several times
made in this paper, was all brought
to a sudden standstill yesterday
when V. B. Archer, Esq, of this
city. and Messrs. Mathney & Smith,
of Sistersville, attorneys employed
on behalf of George E. Work, A. H
Horsford and James F. DoIan, the
gentlemen who were licensed, pre-
sented to a Judge of the Supreme
Court of Appeals of this State peti-
tions for a prohibition against the
Circuit Court, which petitions were
granted and supersedeas order
made, which operates to supersede
the orders of the Circuit Court made
in several cases brought by the
town of Sisterville against the hotel
keepers in that court and also sus-
pends all further action of the Cir
cult Court in these license cases.

1t is said that public sentiment in
Mexico is thoroughly in favor of
Cuban annexation. While it is
useless to devote much thought as
to what will be the future of Cuba
until the rebellion is ended, yet, it
may be well enough to keep in
mind the fact that free Cuba will
inevitably belong to the United
States. The officials at Washing
ton would do well to appreciate this
fact and throw no obstacle in the
way of the patriots who are at
tempting to cast off the hated yoke
of Spain.-Kanawha Gazette.
A secret service officer will be

most of it is being put in circulation

goods mogul, recently gave in Paris
which cost $4,000, and there were
