minister to this country, declares that
they used bicycles in the Flowery

adds that their manufacture was final

the Chinese women rode so constantly
that they neglected their families and

a very intelligent appreciation of o.

One of the worst effects which may
fairly be referred to the influence of
the new" journalism is the tendency
shown by, some unwise clergymen to
initiate it's sensational methods in or
der to attract or startle their congre-
cations. 1t is essential that the church
should maintain it's hold upon the peo-
pie by keeping abreast OF the times
and adapting it's methods to the chang
ing conditions around it; but the in
fuence Of the pulpit should never be
anything else than elevating. Sensa-
tionalism should never find a place
there.

Perhaps we, even the most sedate,

never knew what deviltry he would

Senators and lobbyists, and then
commenced to work in the Assem-

drawers Of our desks IL watches and
scarf pins.
Speaker Cowdery was very pune
titious and punctual man and it was
his watch that "Aleck" espepecially
wanted. He took Il more before he
obtained that one, and as we had
already arranged the Assembly clock
to record the misspent time, be
politely, pulling out his own watch,
epquired of the Speaker the time,
and the plot was discovered. The
House met 20 minutes late that day
aud the Senate was equally democrat
lied for the distribution of the
"stolen" property had to be arranged
to the satisfaction OF all Aleck
was forgiven by all except one or

business IinproNimG,

The revival of business, for which
the public has been looking, is long
delayed, but its arrival, if not announ-
ced actual, is now being predicted by
trade journals of all classes as an
event of the very near future. The
total volume of business transactions
is undoubtedly increasing. Brad
streets reports a slowly improving
demand for goods at most distribu
ting centres. The New York Jour-
nal Of Commerce points to the signiti-
cant fact that bank clearings are bet
ter by 1876 per cent. than year ago
and per cent. better than they were
a week ago. international relations
are greatly improved the world over.
The enormous excess of exports of
merchandise over imports in the past
year laid the foundation for the main
tenance of the gold reserve at Wash
ington and comfortable balance in
Europe for some time to come. To
these general considerations, which
favor the belief that trade is bound to
continue to improve, may be added
certain recent minor events of reas-
surfing character.
Among these events is development
of a probability of Il settlement of the
governments claim against the Union
Pacific in such a way as to put 49,,
754, 900 or more in the treasury, the
net result being that the government
gets the face of the subsidy bonds
and 81 per cent interest besides. Such
treasury at the present time will be
very welcome as a protection against
deficits and as a safeguard against
new bond issues. With the gold re
serve approaching $50, 100000 and an
addition of nearly fifty millions to
the cash balance, the situation can
not but be deemed fairly satisfactory.
There is little life, it is true, in the
iron and steel trade, but the Southern
furnaces are selling much pig abroad
and common grades of pig are in fair
demand in the West. Textiles are
inactive, though there is some inn
provement in the wool market. Rail
way earnings are disappointing. The
movement of merchandise is less than
in the corresponding period of 1896.
With the approach of milder weather
however, better results are expected.
The present, in fact, is period of con
fident expectation. If differs from
recent periods chiefly in the fact that
there are more signs of coming i'm
provement and more positive, though
small, evidences of actual improve
ment.

Younger and better than she had

Gas it is among individuals, so it is
with nations. The duty of the United
States is to attempt by friendly inter
vention to amicably arrange to quar-
rel between the mother country and
the rebellious dependency, and we
will be comforting a greater benefit
upon Cuba by obtaining for her
milder government than if she were
made sole ruler of herself, which
would be "a heritage of Woe to a peo-
pie who are not trained or educated
for elf-government Our first duty is
ourselves Four years OF hard times
is back of us in the past. The last
battle of ballots has proven to the
world that the American nation de
sires to be honest in the payment OF
its debts and will be honorable in all
its dealings We look into the future
with hopeful eyes and trust that the
year which cOnfrOnts us will bring
back the busy hum of industry, the
sturdy voice of confidence, the sun
light of prosperity, and over all the
benign influence of peace. How car
this best be accomplished? BY evinc

of the globe that we are not only
honest and honorable, but that we are
conservative, cool, calm and careful
and this can only be done by pursu
ing the even tenor of our way, declar
ing that we mean to attend to our owl
business. Then every class of Ameri
canship will not only be free in name
but in deed and in fact, and as the
evolution of the years go on on
strength and might and wealth ant

of American freedom and government
we will direct others, and the Who'll,

A measure far exceeding in impOr
tance the Nicaragua canal bill, Cuban
recognition or the Hawaiian cable ap-
preparation, promises to engage the
attention of the United States Senate
sometime this week. 1t is the bank
ruptcy law, which has been under ad-
visement of Congress ever since the
last law was repealed, many years
ago. The confusion which prevails in
the different States as regards the
collection of debts, the preference of
certain creditors and with regard to
the equitable distribution of the assets
of the insolvents among creditors, and
the relief a good bankruptcy law
would give worthy but unfortunate
business men, all call loudly for the
passage of bill of this kind. The
Senate might well spend all of its re-
manning disposable time of the present
session upon the question, and thus
regain good part of the good opinion
of the people.
