FINANCE AND TRADE
The Mercantile Agencies Continue
Their Encouraging Reports.

Their ENCOURAGING Reports.
New York. May 27.-R. G. Dun &
Co.'S weekly review of trade says:
There is some fear that has no other
source than the habit Of fear. Every
year there is worry about short crops.
and yet the crops grow larger. The
spectre of monetary trouble haunts
men who know that the country is
strong beyond any need. Promoting
methods alarm men who are really
quite aware that 1t is only needful to
put promoted stocks In class BY
themselves, But all the time the vol
ume Of business Ia rising, and the
weeks payment through the chief
clearing houses are 62.1 per cent larger
than last year, and 6S.04 larger than
in 1892. For the month thus far the
daily average is 579 per cent larger
than last year, and 66.4 per cent larger
than in 1892. Moreover, this week and
every other brings larger wages to
many, and increased purchasing power,
and the demand for products Is conse-
quently expanding in all branches Of
consumption.
Bradstreet's review says: Favorable
features OF current trade still, as for
a long time past, largely outnumber
those of an opposite character. Whole
sale distribution is naturally less ac-
tive as the season advances, but COM
Parsons with last year are still very
satisfactory. Much is hoped for from
better weather conditions stimulating
retail trade, hitherto held in check by
the backward spring season. Indus
trial activity is widespread and the
prices of most staples are either very
firm or tending upward, except in the
cases of products affected by weather
conditions. Indications are that the
volume of business now being done or
offered is far in advance of all previ-
Gus records. Export trade is feeling
the check, due not entirely to advanc-
ing prices, however, but to actual in
ability to take new business at any
price.
Failures for the week have been 142
in the United States, against 245 for
the corresponding week Oh last year,
and l6 in CaEada, against 81 last year.

SATURDAY. MAY ~. ,Sas.

Born the Regular and Union Re-
publicaHs must have given up all
hope of electing a majority of the
members of the City Council, as
they must certainly know that with
two Republican candidates in the
field. they cannot elect their candi-
dates in more than 3 out Of the II
wards. There may be reasonable
hope Of carrying the Fifth, Sixth
and Seventh wards, but no more.
This would only give them three
members OF City Council out Of ID.
II they can get that number, they
will be fortunate. There may pos
sihly be wisdom in this arrange
ment, but we fail to see it. The
Democrats will be SO firmly fixed in
power by such stupid laundering
that they cannot be dislodged until
wiser counsels prevail and the par
ty act together as in former times.
With the certainty Of defeat there
10 but little encouragement in voting
on election day. The continued di-
vision OF the party will result in
greater disaster than any yet ex-
perienced With Democratic as
tendency in the next Legislature,
laws may be enacted to make it
more difficult than ever for Republi-
cans to vote. and scores Of men may
be disfranchised. The quarrels of
the factions should therefore be
compromised and arrangements
made to avert the threatened evil Of
Democratic ascendency, 1t may be
too late to avert defeat at the city
election, but it is not too late to do
so at the State election. The wise
man will heed the warning Of dan
ger ahead, but the one who prefers
defeat to compromise, will justly be
held responsible for the evils which
will surely follow the continuance
of the present struggle for place
and power by the different aspi-
rants.

pRRsBYrsRlANs ePPosR ROBERTS

aenepal Assembly Ravors an Antis
Polygamy Amendments.
Minneapolis. May 27.--It took the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church longer to decide yesterday
when the nineteenth century ends than
it took to pass the resolutions against
the Merriam congressman, Roberts,
and IN favor of an aRti-polygamy
amendment to the national constitu-
tuition. These resolutions. which rep
resent the matured thought Of the
Pfesbyterians Of the United States,
after many months of consideration, so
exactly expressed the sentiment Of
every commissioner that they were
adopted without even single support
ing speech.
The commissioners generally feel
that in calling for the expulsion Of
Roberts, and for the adoption Of an
amendment to the national constitu-
ton defining legal marriage to be
monogamic, they have started a move
ment which will be taken UP all over
the country and will reach eventual
success.
AS for the end of the nineteenth cen
tury, one Of the reports spoke of next
year as the opening of the new cen
fury. Upon objection and after lit
tie debate the stated clerk held that
next year is the last of this century.
Presbyterians will henceforth getalong
without this existing topic Of discus
sion.

The Cuban Dance.

The Cuban dance Is q peculiar one when
viewed through American eyes, for it is So
totally different from any Of our dances:
There ID only the one step, and that one is
a sort of mixture Of Indian, Turkish and
Chinese. The couple rarely use more
than three Or four square feet Of space and
dance continually, with little short inter
missions Of possibly Is seconds during
which they merely stand in their places
and rest.
Two orchestras play continually, one
taking up the music as the other ceases.
The music is almost identical with some
that have heard at the dances Of our In
dian tribes In Arizona and New Mexico,
except that there Is the continual blare Of
a oornet. They use tomtoms, kettledrums
and some weird, gourdlike affair that they
beat most vigorously, emitting a sound
quite as musical as q boy would make
with a barrel stave as no ran along a pick
ct fence ~ Leslie's Weekly.

SOMETHING is radically wrong at
Washington with the Republican
Administration, when Federal po-
sitions are given to Democrats. If
the Administration expects to Sue
coed itself the next four years, it
" I have use for all Republican
0 RS in the country. But if the
civil service gag is to be used to
prevent the appointment of Repub-
licans, then there is little if any
use Of having Republican admin
istration. There are just as COM
petent men to be found to fill every
position under the government as
the men now holding them. If civil
service is such good thing why
should it not be applied to the Pres
ident and the Cabinet officers? AS
City Solicitor Conrad said in his
speech last evening, it is passing
strange that Senator Kenney, a
Democrat, should be able, under a
Republican Administration, to pro-
cure a $1,000 Federal position for a
fellow Democrat in Washington.
Would this have been possible un-
der a Democratic Administration
for a Republican Senator to have
procured a Federal position for a
Republican! Not if the Democrats
of Delaware knew of it before hand.
This is only one of many Federal
positions given to Democrats in our
State under the present Admins
traton. 1t is almost enough to fill
a Republican with disgust and
make him foreswear utilization with
his party. If Democrats are to be
rewarded, what is the use Of elect
ing Republicans to office?
