GOVERNOR TOOLE.

Over at Helena there is a persistent
lumor to the effect that the short term
senatorship will yet be forced upon Gov.
Toole and that he will accept when the
proper time arrives. That there are in
huences at work to bring about this re-
suit is no doubt true. and it is perhaps
equally true that the motive which
prompts the movement is purely per-
snnal and selfish and not based upon any
real desire to do honor to the governor.

Every fighting republican in this
country is glad of Matt Quay's reelection
to the senate. With perhaps a single eX-
cepton he has been abused more foully
and more generally than any other man
in public life. Pennsylvania answer to
such wholesale calumny of one of her
sons is his election to the highest office
within her gift. The mugwumps and
backguards all over the land will have
another fit now and revile the Keystone
state cheftain with renewed venom,
yet he will move on undisturbed to the
discharge of his duty and the average
citizen will wish him success in the belief
that if the charges against him We're true
his reelection would have been impossi-

THE DEADLOCK.

If any good or useful purpose is being
subserved by the erratic and uncertain
policy at present being pursued by the
fusion members Of the legislature in the
matter of the second senatorship, it is
not apparent to the public in general.
The impression being made is that the
fusion majority is tritling with serious
public matter to serve some selfish ul-
terror purpose.

The shirt waist shows variations
without number, but In all its form
retains the essential characteristics
heart. The smart May Manton design
shown in the large drawing Is admir-
able in every way, and will be found
generally becoming. The slight full.
ness formed by the tucks means the
soft, graceful folds that are so well
adapted both to slender and stout
figures. and the back gives just the
tapering effect required by the latest
mode. AS illustrated the material Is
French flannel in a pretty shade OF
pink, the buttons are OF dull-finished
gold, and the belt of flexible metal
braid, showing stripes of pink and
gold, held by simple dull gold buckle.
The waist is made over fitted lin,
ing that closes at the centre front.
The fronts proper are laid in three
tucks at each shoulder, below which
they fall Tree to the waist, where the
fulness is arranged in gathers. Down
the centre is applied tapering box
pleat that Is stitched near each edge,
permanently to the right front and

BUSINESS REPORTED GOOD.

Strength Activity In Markets.

r. G. Dun & Co.'S weekly Review
OF Trade says: Jobbing trade in gro
ceries, hardware and iron speciaties has
further gained in volume in the East,
and retail business has been good, eX-
cept for slow movement OF some de-
scriptions of dry goods. Nominal quo
tations of iron and steel are misleading.
1t appears that, while pig iron has stead
lily advanced for many weeks, little
change has occurred in finished pro-
ducts. This discrepancy is due to the
figures fixed by the pools and associa
lions, but at which it is impossible to
secure prompt deliveries. Actual bus
iness is done at extensive advances over
these prices, billets selling at SCI at
Pittburg, or more than ST. above the
nominal rate, while plates, bars and
structural shapes are only available
when special terms are offered. Even
higher figures, and every line OF steel
cred full contracts for the next two
months, while there is general feeling
that material advances will occur be-
fore May !. Bessemer pig iron sold this
week at SI525 and gray forge at SIG,

early in August. Coke production is
enormous, and Conrellsvlle prices at
last show a definite advance. Grain
markets are firmly maintained. Domcs-
tic crop conditions are encouraging,
