Dimcult to Explain.

Chauncey NJ Depew made speech to the
Republican Editorial Association of New
York State, in Brooklyn, on Thursday night.
in which he recognized the fact that the peo-
pie are impatient for the business revival
and prosperity that was promised them
in the event of McKinley's election. He
tried to soothe his hearers by remarking
that confidence is not the growth of night,
and that the balance of trade with the world
was 1926, 0OO, 600 to our credit. On the same
night Andrew Carnegie, at a reception at
Johnstown, Pa, spoke of the disappointment
among the people at the arrival of pros
perity, and he said the people expected too
much and expected it too soon.
The people were told that there would
he a swift revival of business in the
event Of McKinley's elction, and that there
would be period of prosperity such as
the country had not experienced for years.
The Mckinley press and orators we're
continually keeping this before the peo-
pie. And in two or three days after the cleo
ton a great effort at business revival was
made, Mills and factories were started every
where. For two or three weeks the papers
were full of announcements OF business re-
symptoms. They we're SO numerous our neigh
Dor, the Sentinel, could not publish them all,
as it intended.
But this revival of business was all forced.
Most of the mills and manufactures that re-
sumed scarcely got started before they shnt
down.
In the place of the promised prosperity, the
country has experienced one OF the worst
seasons of business depressions that has oc-
Cured for many years. Bank failures have
been of daily occurrence for the past six
weeks. and as many as three have closed their
doors in one day. Long established business
firms have assigned, mills and factories have
closed, and many individuals nave had 10
make deeds of trust.
In the face of this condition it is very diff
cult to satisfy the people, who have become
impatient, waiting for the promised prosper
ty. 1t is not satisfying to tell the people that
they expected business revival too soon, or
tell them that the balance Of trade is in our
favor.

4 Great Lumber Combination.

Probably the largest and strongest export
lumber company on the entire gull coast has
been organized at Lake Charles, Louisiana,
nnder the name of the Calcasieu Export Com.
nany Of Lake Charles. A combination of the
following lumber firms comprise the COM
napy Bradley Ramsey Lumber Company,
+. 4. Bel Lumber Company, Perkins & Miller
Lumber Company and the Lock Moore &
Co, Lumber Company. The aggregate an
nnal output of these mills is l00,00G,00O feet.
and in the course of a year or two they hope
10 form connections that will enable them to
shin at least one-half of this amount to for
eion countries The water shipments will be
made through the Sabine pass, which will be
reached both by rail and barge. Each of
these firms owns numerous tugboats and
barges. and should the railroad company fail
to make satisfactory rates all of the lumber
will probably go by way of Calcasieu river
and be loaded in ships. 1t is claimed the
formation and purpose of this mammoth COM
many will have a most wholesome effect upon
the mills throughout the Southern country, it
being in the nature of notice to them that
the company intend to cater TO the foreign
trade principally and thereby leave a larger
market for home-supplying mills. The COM
nanv will make contracts for water shipments
TO their utmost capacity, and as consequence
will be in position TO refuse timber bills of
small movement.

The January Sales.
From N. Y. Freeman's Journal.

From N. Y Freeman's Journal
Now that Christmas time is over,
And your pocketbook is fiat,
Comes period distracting,
Till you don't know where you're at.
For the bargain counters loaded,
Piled with bargains by the bale,
And the shoppers heart is broken
By the January sale.
Silks and satins gone a-begglng,
Crepes, brocade and lace galore;
Everything to tempt the bravest
At prices never known before.
Well bound books by well-known authors,
Dainty yet decadent tales,
Always Just the ones you wanted,
At the January salesl
Household staples, hemstitched linen,
Napery in damask blooms,
Wove by elves with flowers and frest work
Products of unearthly looms;
Petticoats a-foam with laces,
Decked with ribbons sweet yet frail;
How the spirit writhes in anguish
At the January sale.
For ones heart is broken, broken,
When the pocketbook is broke,
When for sordid coal and gas bills
Ones reluctant wealth's bespoke.
Fortunatus, Plutus, Midas,
Hear tortured mortafs walls!
Come and go with me a-shopping

A Remarkable WATERFRONT.

PoRr TOWNSEND, WASH, Jan. 20.-The
brig Courtenay Ford, from Tahiti, brings an
account of a remarkable waterspout Witnessed
in the tropics on the voyage to this port. In
longitude 14.S W, latitude 15.1 N, on No
vember %, at 6 p. M, a tremendous water
spout was observed scarcely mile from the
vessel. During the first five minutes it re-
manned stationary and reached an altitude of
over 1000 feet, ending in curious cumulous
cloud Its base was several hundred feet in
diameter and around it the sea was lashed
into a cauldron of white foam for space of
several hundred yards in circumference.
Slowly the spout moved away, though it
remained in plain view for over an hour.

Another Free Silver Senator

The Democrats of the Delaware Legisla-
ture have elected Gen. R. R. Kenney United
States Senator, to succeed Anthony Higgins,

Two years ago the Legislature was Republi-

ed. He was not seated, owing to irregularity
in his election Gen. Kenney is bimetel-
list, and favors the free coinage of gold and
silver. His election will be contested by Ad-
dicks, Republican, chosen by bogus legisla-

In $50, 600 damage suit in the Supreme
Court of Brooklyn, New York, on Tuesday,
for alleged alienation of the affections of a
former wife, the jury gave a verdict for the
defendant, and the Judge ordered the plain
tiff to pay the costs and fined him 500 for
his ''impudence'' in bringing the suit. The
power to impose fines for bringing suits is a
dangerous one, but if it could always be used
with discretion and without prejudice, conrt
costs would be lessened and upright people
be saved from annoyance by litigious persons.

At o'clock Tuesday, as Abraham
Davis and John McGinty, of Sugar
Notch, We're passing the postofice in
that town, they noticed a light in the
building and the door open. Upon
further investigation they saw two
men behind the lctter-hoXes, busily en-
gagged in ransacking the contents. The
postofice is situated on the lot and
near the residence of Roddy Mcclure,
and when Davis and McGinty saw
what was going on they determined to
awaken Mcguire and apprise him that
the postollice was being robbed. The
burglars at this juncture emerged from
the building and each showed cooked
revolvers in the amazed faces of Davis
and McGinty and told them to stir at
their peril. The burglars kept their
two men covered with their revOlvers
until thev effected a retreat and es-
capped in the direction of the Lehigh
Valley railroad station. Davis and
McGlnty say that they did not recog-
nize the two men and believe they
were strangers in Sugar Notch. Post

alton of the postolIlce this morning and
found that registered letters to the
