so THE WHEEL GOES ROUND

1t is reported from Duluth thai
the retail business of that city i.
double what it was year ago. Thi:
state of affairs has been brought
about chiefly by the largely increased
purchases made by the families OF
wage earners. There has been such
a growth of industry in that vicinity
that there is said to be more work
to be done than there are laborers
to do it, and the indications are that
this condition of things will continue
for some time. With such a de-
mand for labor, wages are necessa-
rily high. The high wages mean
liberal purchases on the part of the
laboring men and their families,
and the retailers profit by it. They
in their turn make large sales for
the wholesalers, and the increased
demands on the wholesalers make
more business for the manufactur-
ers, and so the wheel of prosperity
goes round. The description of
the state of affairs in Duluth reveals
only a few links in the endless
chain " by which the protective
tariff brings prosperity 10 the whole

SOME of our Pop exchanges seem
very solicitous about the constitu-
ton in the Sulu Archipelago. We
are not worrying ourselves very
much about the slaves or the plural
wives in that far away possession
just at present. They will all be
looked after in due course of time,
after we get another odd job or two
off our hands. 1t seems to us we
would not have to go so far away
from home to find little polygamy
to kick about and it is a grave
question in our mind whether OF
not all of the negros of the south
are enjoying to the fullest extent
their political rights.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA people
were treated to a novel Christmas
celebration. About 1890 in the
morning the country was badly
shaken up by an earthquake. At
San Jacinto and Hermit several
buildings were wrecked. Six
squaws were killed at their reserva-
ton by the collapse of the building
they were in. These are the only
deaths reported. The shock was
severe at Los Angeles, San Diego,
Riverside and many other towns.

THE panic in Wall street abe

THE panic in Wall street about
which we hear considerable, was
not much of a panic after all.
Some of our plug hat gentlemen
who have been rolling high game
in trust stock that was rather highly
watered only got little anxious to
get to cover. Considerable of the
water will have to be squeezed out
of many of these stocks before they
get down to legitimate size. The
natural competition of business is
beginning the squeezing process
and ere long many of these fictitious
concerns will begin to wnggle pretty
lively.

HON. G. W. WHEATLEY

The Hon. G. w. Wheatley, of
Galena, came over one day this
week to visit his brothers and other
relatives who live east of town.
Mr.. Wheatley is an old Neosho
county boy of whom we are all
proud. Losing his father when he
was a mere child he started out
early IN life on his own responsible
tiles. By industry and economy he
pushed himself forward and has
made himself quite prominent in
the political and business affairs OF
Cherokee county.
Though Mr.. Wheatley has been
away from this locality for several
years, he has not lost his place in
the hearts of his many friends in
Neosho county. We are ever glad
to see him and learn of his prosper.
ity and success.
He was elected representative in
his county two years ago by sur.
prisingly large vote and made al
active, earnest legislator.
He is very genial and pleasing il
his manners and methodical in hi!
business habits and we predict fo
him a bright future.
If ever he should want any favor
from his old home all he has to d,
is to draw for the full limit.

THE tin plate mills of Wales are
said to be doing a splendid business
despite the American tariff. There
are now 400 of them in operation
and they make better article at
less price than the American plate.
The Blade. Possibly SO, Bro.
Roe, all except the better quality.
But they have very recently reduced
the wages of their employees ten
per cent while the tinworkers of this
country are continually receiving
advances in wages. Better kick
about the trusts, John, than the tin
industry.

The clanor that is abroad in the
land for parcels post system will
stand a little investigation. On
first thought it seems all right. I'm
der that system a man thousand
miles away from factory or a de
partment store could get his goods
delivered for the same money that
it would cost a man who lived only
ten miles away. 1t would be a
great benefit to the large depart
ment stores in the large cities but
would be a hard blow to country
merchants. All told we think it an
unfair proposition and that the bill
now in congress should be killed
