Destroyinq Rubber Tyres.

A busy doctor said last night
 "Consractors and others are now daily causing the dropping of slag and broken stone on the paved streets, as well as on the hard macadamized roadways, and this nuisance is destroying all the rubber-tyres in the city. Wagons and carts are drop ping the objectionable stuff all over town, and it is almost as bad on rubber-tyres as would be upturned knife blades-is really worse in some particulars. Nearly all vehicles in town, except wagons, carts and drays, have rubber tyres, and therefore the slag and crushed stone are destroying a great deal of property The other day I paid forty-five dollars for a new set of rub ber-tyres. Today those tyres are ruined This is all outrageous upon public rights and the city authorities should at once abate the wrong A little attention to every cart and wagon carrying slag and stone would prevent these materials from being scattered over the beds of the streets.

Coarse Intemperance.

Said a Kansas man last night:
 "The disgraceful conduct of Mrs. Carrie Nation in trying to destroy the property of saloonkeepers in Kansas is a striking, 1T unusually coarse and vulgar, exemplifica- ton of the intemperance of the average temperance agitator. She should be pun ished as severely any other brawler or worker of malicious mischief, for she is apparently no better than any of the rest of the brawlers, albeit she wears the cloak of chief priestess of an organization which boasts the title of Christian. This noisy and mischievous woman is just as intem- perate as an habtual drunkard, and does not call for any higher respect. Doubtless she is trying to work the martyr game, and doubtless other intoerant bigots will cry her 'uncrowned queen Queen of sa- loon brawlers is a noble title for an Ameri- can woman, truly.
 This Kansas woman and her kind of bigots constitute the greatest drawback to the work of temperance in this country. They block the work of honest men and women who would strive to lessen the curse of strong drink; they are the holier-than- thou of that relation, self-righteous bgots and intolerant pharsees are the stumbling blocks of the wider Christianity. We have these in Kansas, you have them in Birmingham-all the world has them. It is a pity there is no way of hanging theurp

THE BERLIN MARKET.
Fears of London ond New York Have
 Effected Germany.

Berlin, January 6.-The fears of the Lon don and New York money markets have left Berlin comparatively untouched The new year opened with a remarkable ple- thora of money.
 The private rate of discount fell rapidly to 3A per cent, but rose again to per cent in consequence of the rise in the Bank of England rate. Call money, however, was abundant at per cent. The market believes the Reichs Bank will maintain the present official rate until the Bank of Eng land reduces it's rate. Otherwise the Reichs Bank could make reduction sooner. For eign exchange rose in consequence of the rise in the Bank of England rate.
 Indusrials encountered more unfavorable influences, among them the decision of the coke syndicate to reduce production 3 per cent. Oother depressing influences were the reduction in the price of rolled goods in South Germany the restriction in out put by the Siegerland pig iron syndicate and the attempts of the sheet mills to get reducted prices for the materials under contract. The Cologne Gazette asserts that price reductions affect nearly all finished goods, and it paints the general iron sdt- uation black.
 The Half Finished Goods Association has fixed the terms of export. the bounties be- ing reduced on plates to Ill marks
 The Blumenfields, a coal firm in Ham, burg, in the course of their yearly report, say that their American shipments gave the greatest satisfaction, but that the Eu- ropean freights prevent regular importa- ttonS. The lower Rhine silk velvet market report says that American orders, remain scarce and the manufacturers regard the American market permanently lost.
 The linen weayers of Westphalia and the Rhine have reduced production in an effort to advance prices.
 Last years exports from the North Ger man consulates aggregated $61, ,94S,617, or an increase of $l0,793, 796, Madgeburg, Stettin, Hamburg, Chemnitz and Plauen increasing more than $1,000000 each.
 In consequence of Germanys growing in- terests in American markets a number of the Berlin papers have arranged to get the New York and Chicago quotations cabled for their morning editions unsteady of the afternoon editions, as heretofore.

BRITISH CUT IN STEEL.
From the Pittsburg Dispatch.


 The cut of 20 shillings in the price of steel bars at Birmingham is a fresh indi- cation of the pressure of American compe- tition in the British metal markets. It Is not many days since similar reduction was made in the price of British steel and this application only proves the first was unavailingI It is not difficult to under stand what the British manufacturers mean, but 1t is a question whether any slaughtering of values they can do will shut out the American conqueror The British iron masters have been driven to tthe expedient of reducing wages, already too low to incite efficiency, and can hard ly go much farther in that direction with out precipitating a strike more far reach- ing than that of the engineers. With the American manufacturer it is not ques- tion of living wages. He is meeting the British measures with plans for cheaper transportation of materials and product and lower cost of materials, while main- taining the inducemeat of good wages to successful manipulation. The pith of the matter is British steel making is not in the same class with that of the United States.

President of the University.

The name of Gen. Joseph Wheeler has been suggested as that of man who could bring order out of disorder, confidence out of distrust, at the uni yersity. If he would accept the place. he would of necessity consider his po- litical career ended. He would in that case go on the political retired list, as he had been placed, the hero of three wars, on the military retired list.
 In that capacity he could be trusted not to grind other political axes. He never did, and this habit of his life would be acceptable in the university. The bane of that school has been poli- tics, and General Wheeler would see that no other politician got any benefit from it.
 Would he accept the place? This is a hard question. If he would, his age would be no bar, for he will De as active twenty years from now as any other man should be expected to be. His ac- tiyity for long time to come need not be doubted. But the little warrior may not fancy school shelf, and thus a very pretty and promising scheme would come to naught.

MAILED LOOSE MONEY.

From Chicago Times-Herald.
 P Pierce of 6407 Rhodes avenue, has un- bounded confidence in the safety of Uncle Sam's postal service. To prove it he wrapped a dollar bill around card, af- fixed a 2-cent stamp and bit of white pa per bearing the address, and started it on it's way to J. A. Wayland newspaper publisher of Girard, Kan. When the novel packet went trough the Hyde Park postal station it attracted the attention of Super intendent CrumpackerA who delayed It's transmission until he could get from Post- master Gordon a ruling on the question or sending money through the malls in that manner;
 A search of the postal regulations and conference of the powers at the postoffice brought forth the decision that it was le- gal, though irregular and somewhat un- safe way to send money by mail, and the authorities allowed it to go on its way.

Washington. January GA distinctive feature of the second inauguration of Pres ident Mckinley, if plans now under way fulfill their early promise, will be large representation of the colleges and universi- ties of the United States In the line of pa- rade for the first time.
 The matter has been put in the hands of an intercollegiate committee, Wallace Donald Mclean, chairman, which has ad- dressed invitations to the presidents of more than 400 American institutions of learning requesting that delegations be sent on to represent their respective insti- tutions in the inaugural parade.
 It is stated that the different college clubs and societies are expected to come as delegates. Their participation will be strictly non-partisan. There will be maximum or minimum limit to the size of each delegation, the only requirement be- ing that each body shall be uniformed or decorated so as to display its college col OTIS.

savinas Banks in the South.

There are none. So far as we know Even in Louisville, which is more Western than Southern, there was none until recently. The sign is often seen, but a real savings bank is bank owned and managed by small depositors. It has no stockholders. It's profits go to itself-to the depositors. There is not such bank in the cotton States.
 In the North every center has at least one, and the aggregate of their deposits is very large. And under proper res trictions and legislation they are very safe and reasonably profitable institu- tions. They are safer and better in every way than the building associa- tions that have been utilized to promote small savings.
 All factory towns in the Northern States and in other countries have say ings banks, and there should be one in Jones Valley organized and conducted as such banks are conducted in Massa- chusetts or New York.
 Such bank would not only promote small savings, but it would add to the financial strength of the community by bringing the small hoards in old stock ings where they can be used in business while bringing some return to their owners. There is no device that can fully take the place of genuine sav- ings bank in this respect. But gen. uine savings bank would need all the strict legal regulations that go with such institutions in Massachusetts or in | England. A slack savings bank is but trap, but one based on the best prac- tice and experience in other States is needed in every factory town in the | South, and the time is soon coming when such banks will be established in this section. They are fully as much needed here as they are in Massachu- SettS or elsewhere.

JUST AS THE SUN WENT DOWN.

After the din of the battles roar Just at the close of day, Wounded and bleeding upon the field, Two dying soldiers lay. One held a ringlet of thin gray hair, One held lock of brown, Bidding each other a last farewell, Just as the sun went down.
 CHORUS. One .hought of mother at home alone, Feehle and old and gray; Oc.c of-the sweetheart he left in town, Happy and young and gay, Ore kissed ringlet of thin gray hair, Ore kissed a lock of brown; Bidding farewell to the Sitars and Stripes, Just as the sun went down. One knew the joys of a mothers love, Ore of a sweetheart's fair; Thinking of home, they lay side by side, BreNthng farewell prayer One for the mother so old and gray, One for his love in town. They closed their eyes to earth and skies, Just as the sun went down.
