The 4th Of February will be observed
as John Marshall day, not only in
Richmond bat elsewhere in the coun-
try. He was elevated to the Supreme
Bench 4th Of February, 1901, and left it
without spot on the ermine he wore,
and with reputation as jurist peerless
and pure. May his memory prove a
benediction TO all our judges and all
our people.

a Mrs. Nation, with chop axe as wea-

Congress has agreed to continue to
pay the railroads for carrying the mails
the rates already in force, though some
people complained that the pay was
excessive. We have no objection to
the liberal allowance, but do very much
regret that while on this subject the
carriers of country mails didn't come in
for common justice if not for generous
dealing. Their pay is simply cruel.

would be at the least quadruppled. On

estimated that the amount of gold to be
won from gravel within the next 100
years will be worth $50 900 ,ooo, 900.
"Up to the present time men have been
greatly handicapped in searching for gold
by the fact that 1t was scattered so thiny
through the earth. They have been able
to find any amount Of gravel paying from
ten to twenty cents to the cubic yard, but
the expense Of dredging has always been
so great that they have been unable to
extract II with profit. Now, however. the
machinery Of the dredgers has been great.

dredgers have been operated in Russia
and in the United States, especially in

proiltably worked for gold. IN the United
States there are from 6ooo to 5000 square
miles which will give miners employment
and which can be accurately depended
upon for producing gold. Similar areas
IN Russia, India, Africa and Australia

which was not very demonstrative,
or from sight of the prison, Czolgosz'

the man into the prison. Inside the

TIDE OF TRADE RISING
Firmer Tone and Rise in Prices in
Staple Lines.

Firmer Tone and Rise in Prices in
Staple Lines.
New York.-Bradstreet' saws: The
current of trade is still running full
in nearly ell lines and in some the
tide is still rising, as shown by a
firmer tone or actual advances in the
level Of prices, except for those
staples, such as cereals, hog products
and cotton, which are dealt in on the
exchanges. In distributive trade the
features are the continued good tone
Of advances from the jobbing trade
West, Northwest and Southwest, and
on the Pacific coast and the better re-
tail trade reported at the East, due to
the advance in the season. The talk
OF the widespread corn damage, due
TO late frost, seems to have fallen
fat, viewed from the standpoint of
corn prices and Of trade reports from
affected sections. A quieting down
demand for dry goods, usual at this
season, is noted at many markets, but
these reports are generally accompa-
MED by advioes of an enlarged dis
tribution Of clothing and footwear.
Demand for iron and steel, repressed
by strikes and for other causes has
1t last broken the usual trade limits
and is full and free in nearly all
lines. Southern iron has advanced in
all markets.
