The wealth of the country having been
immensely increased, there is wonderful
subsistence OF all political agitation. The
currency question has been buried. and the
operations of the tariff have been so OBJ
scured by the new war revenue legislation
that no disturbance to business is likely to
come from its discussion.
Under the circumstances, with peace at
home, the indications peint to such une.s-
ampled prosperity that it will wipe out the
remembrance of the four lean years that
have preceded this.

The Postal System StealIngs.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 10.-Auditor
Castle, of the postofTice department,
has discovered Irregularities in money
order accounts which may result in
loss to the government OF a consid-
cradle sum. They were brought to
light as the outcome of new system
of checking accounts by postmasters,
which went into effect the first of the
year. The most important change was
the adjustment Of the coupon (Which,
under the old system, had been the
only means of checking, the money
order itself having been utilized as
voucher by the paying postmaster),
and the checking of both sides of the
f,ostmaster's accounts by the money
order itself. Several cases have al
ready been detected in which orders
were issued as high as $50 and $1OO,
and were reported by the Issuing post
master as 81 or 81 each. How many
such frauds were perpetrated during
the three years in which the old sys-
tenn was in operation can only be
guessed. An examination OF 100000
GGC money orders issued in that time
could be made, the auditor believes, by
100 men in year, and If the rate
of fraudulent orders just discovered
continues, he thinks it might be we'll
to do this. How much the govern
ment has lost will not be determined
unless such an examination is made.

Tho Ohio Situation.

COLUMBUS. O., Jan. 10.-The SEN
atorial situation here has not changed
The conferences continue day and
night, and the doubtful members are
given no rest. But no such fiops were
announced today as those of the pre-
vious two days in favor of Hanna
The workers of the senator say they
now have enough votes.
The KuTE workers say they can
spare another vote or two and still de-
feat Hanna. But they insist that they
have lost all of their doubtful men
now and will stand to the last with
at least eight republicans and sixty
five democratic members, against
Hanna. They even say that they ex-
pect to get Manuel, of Montgomery,
and Griffith, of Union, back or their
side again before Tuesday. 1t is also
claimed by the opposition that while
Senator Hanna's forces have been
charging on their lines they have been
successfully attacking his lines, and
have promises from members on
whom the senator has been depending.
The Hanna members claim two acces-
sions today, but they will not give any
lanes, as they did those OF Represent
ative Manuel Friday night and of Rep
resentative Griffith last night.
The opposition to Hanna has no bet
ting yet in its favor. The bets, rang
ing from $500 to $4,000 for even
money on Hanna's election, have re-
Eiained posted in the Neil mousse for
two days without takers, and there
are other bets offered, among them
hni,, of L1y
upon Hanna's election. None ot the
bets a'e on The result of the first Or
any other ballot, but all are offered
Gil the tina. result.
The militia and other organizations
are arriving tonight to take part i'll the
Inauguration. In the morning parade
there will be marked absence of re-
publican clubs. All the police of the
city and many detectives will be on
hand for both occasions. There have,
in addition to the regular authorities,
been over 100 sergeants-at-arms ap-
pointed for the mass convention in the
afternoon, with ex-Chief of Police
Alexis Keller as chief sergeant-at-
arms.
While the workers on both sides
have ben chasing doubtful members
and holding secret conferences today,
the general public has been agitated
over the result tomorrow of the inau-
guration at noon and the Hanna mass
meeting in the afternoon. Both sides to
day are arranging to avoid street col
lisions of any kind and trobule if
possible. The mass meeting will not
be called to order by Chairman George
X. Nash of the state republican COM
mittee till 3 D. m, and those in charg
of the inauguration of Governor Bush
nell will seek to have the Inaugural
ton exercises over before the clubs
begin to march to the Auditorium for
the mass meeting.
The railroads have arranged to run
the excursion trains for those coming
to the mass meeting later in the day.
The Hanna men are seeking to have
as many here as possible in the after
noon and the opposition is equally en-
ergetic in rallying all they can in the
different counties for the morning

Last Week in the Wheat Market.

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-The course of
the wheat market for the first three
days of last week was downward, the
weakness extending late into Thurs
days session. Up to that time a de-
cline of exactly cents had taken
place in May. On Monday the price
broke 1a@asc, due principally to the
lower tone of cables and a heavy visi-
BILE supply increase Selling was not
very pronounced, but support for the
time being disappeared. This same
apathy of buyers was again noticeable
on Tuesday. Argentine wheat for the
first time made its appearance on
Tuesday. and foreigners were sellers
at the seaboard against ocerIngS from
that country. The fact naturally had
its effect upon local traders. There
was a rally late in the day On the un-
expectedly large demand for shipment
to Europe. Figures purporting to
show large surplus in farmers hands
depressed the market Wednesday and
quite heavy selling ensued, in which
the Letter interests were prominent.
A feature Of Wednesday and which
proved a gruitful source of strength
for the balance of the week was the
improved cash demand for milling
Inquiry for cash wheat was
quite active Thursday and Friday,
which, with heavy seaboard clearances
made the market for the latter part of
the week a decidedly strong one, and
resulted in the recovery Of all but
81 OF cent of the loss sustained The
market, too, had been rather over
sold, and the difiuclty experienced by
shorts in covering was quite a factor
in the advance The range OF May
was between 90 cents on Monday and
55 cents On Thursday. Saturdays close
was at 1875 centsI the closing figures
2 week ago being 925s cents.

Sensational Senatorial Move.

COLUMBUS, O., Jan. 8.-The situa-
ton SO far as votes are concerned re-
mains unchanged. The air of the
kurtz democratic managers in their
headquarters at the Great Southern.
gives color to the statement that a
sensational movement OF some kind
may be expected to offset the call for
republican state mass meeting here
next Monday. The KurtZ party hope
to agree by tomorrow night, as re-
porte, upon man for senator, but
the indications are for a deadlock for
short time at least
The latest phase of the case is that
the two fusion republicans OF Cincin-
nati Will, as claimed, vote for Mr.
Hanna, provided they cannot get their
silver republican choice elected sena-
tor. In that event Mr.. Hanna would
still need some votes

year since 1892, but on the whole the
best ever definitely known, with 49,

less than in 1896, and S1S2, ,5S1, III de-
faulted liabilities, "a per cent less

cept in 1892. But even in that year
the failures during the last half av-
eraged liabilities of s10,t77 per fail
ure, while in the last half of 1897 the
average was only $9,593.
