A. VERY UNEASY HEAD.

Those who do not admire Russian alb
solutism can afford to pity its chief
representative. The Cars head lies
very uneasy 1t has leaked out though
the Russian press was not allowed to
mention it, that mine has been dis
covered beneath the palace Of the Gar
at Tzarskee-Selo,\ 1t has also been dis
covered that several notabilities are
implicated in the plot. 1t is said that
the Gear fears the result of the policy
of his ministers in the far East, while
the student troubles and threats
against his life, of which there are more
than have been published, have COM
pletely unnerved him.
A ruler who is expecting to be blown
up, shot or poisoned any minute may
well be completely unnerved 1t would
be a relief to the Car if he We're killed.
He is having a hard time in trying to
maintain system that ought to have
been allowed to die some time ago.

SOME Disturbing Talk,

| 1t is pleasant to think that if we had
| what belongs to US in England we
should be rich beyond the dreams of
avarice, and need not even be envious
OF Mr.. Schwab. 1t is also COMPARE
lively pleasant to contribute as an
heir" to fund to enable some lawyer
to take a vacation and get our money
flor us. 1t Is not qAite so pleasant to
have the lawyer come home and tell
tale Of being mysteriously baff1ed in his
efforts to get our wealth away from the
greedy English. But even that leaves
us the hope that springs eternal and,
makes us feel that by and by we shall
come into our own in spite of all con
spiracies to keep it from us. What
would be left us if we should become
convinced that our vast estates" are
not Sin Chancery?" Probably we can't
be convinced of that, but there is some
talk which Is rather disturbing. The
funds in the Chancery and other divi-
sions of the High Court as stated in
the latest Parliamentary return by the
Assistant Paymaster-G General for the
Supreme court, are about a56 100000.
Most of these funds, however, are not
lying idle or unclaimed but are the
property of suitors in the courts, and
are held for them by the government
under the orders of the court. Their
ultimate destination, except as regards
dormant" funds, is perfectly well
known, and the interest on them is
regularly paid to the persons entitled.
A list .of dormant funds" in Chancery
that is, of funds upwards of $50 in
amount which have not been dealt with
for fifteen years and upwards--is pub
lished triennially in the London Ca |
zette. Their amount was stated by the !
Solicitor-General, in reply to a question
in the House Of Commons on December
20, 1893, to be little more than G1.16O,- !
boo, and is probably about the same at
the present time. About one third of |
these funds do not exceed G100 each, |
and very few of the rest exceed G1,000.
In many of these cases, too, it Is un-
that the persons ultimately en-
titled to receive the money are known
Of course we can think that all this
.alk is to keep us from continuing to
claim what belongs to us. Let us not
De discouraged.

IN UNWELC0ME pROPHLT.

When the festivities are at their
height the appearance Of a prophet of
evil isn't welcome. But all the same it
may be we'll for those at the feast to
listen to him. Colonel A. M. Shoop, of
Alabama, the well-known southern
ironmaster, has this to say of the iron
and steel outlook: By the end Of next
year the productive capacity of this
country will be so great that it will
necessarily be larger than the consump-
tive capacity. This will necessarily
force the price of the product lower,
and 1t will continue to go down with
out regard to the ascendency Of either
great political party, without regard to
tariff, foreign policy, ship subsidy, or
anything else, until production has
been restricted to such a point that con-
sumption again overtakes it,
Perhaps Mr. Shoop hasn't set the
time just right for the fulfilment of his
prophecy, and perhaps he has, but
whether he has or not he has pointed
ont what's likely to happen sooner or
later. Those who dance must pay the
fiddler, and the dance has been long
and lively.

the potential agricultural and mineral
wealth of North America is vastly
greater than that of Europe, and even
were Europe a moral unit her states
men would have to reckon with that
natural fact. But when Europe, so far
from being a moral unit, has spent the
main part of her energies during the
century now ending in creating sepa-
rate and rival interests, mighty rival
ornaments and formidable rival tariffs,
it is surely absurd to imagine that out
Of these naturally hostile factors you
can evolve common Europe to face
rival America. IL
OF course. There will be no such
combination. The United States will
continue to help feed Europe and sell
her good goods at moderate prices.

An IMPRACTICIBLE NOTION.

Some Europeans have the notion that
there can be grand European combi-
nation against the trade encroachments
of the United States and that such
combination would be effective. The
European who runs the London Econ
omist isn't afflicted with this notion.
He thinks combined resistance is i'm
practicable, because there is no COM
munity of interests between different
parts of Europe and because there is as
great a rivalry between the iron indus
tries and coal mines of France and
those of Germany as there is with those
of Pennsylvania, What common in
terests, it is asked, have French and
German vine-growers against those of
California, six thousand miles away?
How can the German and Russian agrl-
culturists, who hate each other. be
combined against the farmers of Min
nesota and Kansas? What does it mat
ter to the Russian railroad administra-
ton whether its locomotives are made
in Philadelphia or Munich? Presllm
ably they will be ordered from the place
where they will be made with the great
est efficiency and economy. Moreover,

tire United States Not exactly that
New Yorkers are such great lovers of
! champagne, but there are one hundred
and fifty thousand visitors here per day,
who do not, as q rule, indulge in this
expensive beverage when at home and
! feel that they can afford it when they
come to the metropolis.
Washington is the only city where
there is nc favorite drink 1T Is too cos
mopolitan for any urc thing to have
run. There are a lot of thirsty people
there, but they come from all sectors,
and each clings to what he has been
used to at home. A mixer there needs
to be we'll up in his business, for nearly
every man who comes in will give diff
ferent order Throughout New Eng
land, with the exception of, Boston,
which follows the fashions in drink set
by New York, cider is regarded with
especial favor. There is sort of pride
in the way man says:
Give me a glass of cider.
I'm New Orleans straight whiskey,
wines and absinthe are usually called
for, the latter being drunk by the
French population. 1t is the only place
in this country where there is any real
demand for this demorallzing drink,
There the old absinthe house is one Of
the sights of the town, and it is con-
sidered rather smhrt to patronize it.
Here absinthe frappes are made in
the old-fashioned way-a way that has
passed out and been forgotten save in
this one spot. There are two big spig-
nj hat al ma C n la
at each of these. The absinthe and the
ice are put in the glass and then he
gently turns the spigot and drop by
drop adds the water, stirring vigorously
all the while. 1t takes fully fifteen
minutes to make faappe in this man
ner, sometimes longer If the mixer is
anxious to do an unusually fine job, but
in this queer French city time doesn't
matter if the frappe Is good.
"In Charleston, Jacksonville, Mobile
and other southern coast towns toddies,
cocktails and mint juleps are the pop
ular thirst quenchers in the warm
but with the first touch of frost
they give place to hot Tom and Jerry
and eggnog. Especially is eggnog con-
sidered the holiday beverage, and on
Christmas day it is the southern GUS
tom to serve it in every home. A big
bowl of eggnog is far more necessary

as can no other people in the world. !
