everywhere esteemed SO highly by all

The SONG OF the Barrel.

There's a Barrel at the corner,
Neighbor mine, neighbor mine.
Pray. be you thereof no scorner.
Neighbor mine'
If you're not devoid of feeling,
Quickly to the corner stealing.
Throw in that banana peelinE.
Neighbor mine.
When the peanut you devour.
Neighbor mine, neighbor mine.
Throw not shells in cracking shower.
Neighbor mine.
But lest you and | should quarrel,
Listen to my little carol:
Go and drop them in the barrel.
NeighbOr mine.
Look whene'er you drop a paper.
Neighbor mine, neiShhor mine.
In the wind it cuts a capcr.
Ncighbor mine,
Down the street it madly courses.
Soaring bicycles and horses,
And should fill you with remorses,
Neighbor mine.
In the Barrel put your papers.
NeighbOr mine. neighbor mine,
Think not these are idle vapors.
Neighbor mine,
If you will but lend a hand.
Soon our city dear shall stand
With the fairest in the land.

Henry Clews in his weekly letter
| says:
Wall street is still held in complete
| suspense ny the excitement and un'
| certainty attending the approach OF
the political conventions. The market
| is entirely in the hands of the profess
sional operators, who under such cir
cumstances find selling most congenial
| so that the predominant tendency Is
towards a slow decline in prices. Out
side these political conditions. in
fiuences are on the whole favorable
1t is true. the export of gold continues;
but Wall street has not taken that
factor very seriously. and there are in
dications that the movement will soon
come to an end. There Is also an
absence of return of securities from
Europe: which is rather remarkable
considering the agitation of the free
coinage issue in the elections. The
railroads also are doing well. Man.
ayers generally report good business
and encouraging prospects, and are
making liberal provision for accom-
modating the coming crop movements.
The earnings make good showing
|
more gratifying as year ago the
business was upon an increasing scale.
In the mercantile business, the condi-
tions are varied. some trades reporting
fair movement. but at low prices.
whilst others are full of complaint The
dry goods distributors especially find
it difficult to move off their seasons
stocks and have to adapt prices to the
conditions of ample stocks and a slow
demand. The iron trade is very slug
gish; the recent raising of prices by
the combinations having put very
severe check upon the demand. Taken
as a whole, however. the material con-
ditions affecting the market would
probably admit of a general rise in
stocks, We're it not for the chilling
effects of political uncertainties in con-
nection with the silver question. These
remarks as to the condition of trade
have reference, however. to the local
markets. while reports from the in
terror indicate healthier state of bust
ness than prevails in this city. This is
a difference to which we have found
occasion to refer previously. and it
needs to be kept in mind in Judging of
the state of affairs i'm the country at
large. AS the local depression comes
nearer to Wall street. it produces an
effect disproportionate to its real i'm
portance and thus breeds an extent of
pessimism exceeding what is war
ranted by the general national condi-
tons

In vetoing the river and harbor bill
President Cleveland gives as one of his
principal reasons the fact that the
contracts authorized by the measure
would create large obligations for the
future. Now this is ore of the most
practical features of the measure, al
though 1t may be excessive in its scope.
Assuming that Congress is an honest,
businesslike body, capable of under
taking the work of river and harbor
improvement in the most practical
way, the wisdom of considering the full
scope of the work to be done before
commencing it and of providing that
the work shall be continuous and not
subject to the whims of change in
management must be obvious. The
piecemeal system that has hitherto OBJ
tanned has been very expensive and
very unsatisfactory OF course the
creating of future obligations by one
Congress is open to abuse, and for that
matter so has been every method en-
| ployed by Congress in providing for
this work. Probably the Presiden,
