Thsre ars tour measures Of the pros

ums oe busieess transacted; incteese in
The output Of industrial plants; incrsase
in The earnings oe Industrial workers.,
and increase in The ssvings Of tho people.
Sometimes two of these are to b credited
to The same nstion; rarely do al apply
at tho same time to ono nation.
Just nov, however, Ill do apply to tho
United Statsa The record Of excep-
iooal prosperity u . clear in the treas
ury reports of dsposits in banks - in the
tables of our exports. the figures meas
uring our volume Of business, or the in
crosse in tho output Of our factories.

ual deposits in national and other banks

equal tho deposits in national banks

extent tho deposits represent savings or
surplus capital.
In 1893, tho flrst year Of Clevelands
second administration, there was . do
CREASE, instead Of IN increase, in bank
deposits, ths deposits in national banks
falling from Sl,77ly 100000 to $l,54. .O0Q
600, and savings banks showed . de-
orsase in lso4of 81 100000 These were
tho years in which tho tariff policy OF tho

than four times the amount OF money
required for his expenses while at the
school" Twenty.seven dollars will pay

A DECISION rendered by. the supreme
court this week will have . far reaching
effect with regard to foreclosing on land
for taxes which has been going on in
nearly every western county in tho state
for the past two years. Under the new
decision, which reverses tho rulings OF
several district judges, including Judge
Grimes OF this district, . county cannot
foreclose for taxes unless it secures q |
tax certificate or tax deed from tho |
county treasurer, and then the purchaser
buys it subject to the owners right to
redeem within two years. It has hereto
fore been held that . county WAS entitled
to foreclose its statutory lien without Q |
tax sale certificate. There have been
but few OF these cases in this county,
about thirty in all-where tho land hes
been sold and the sales confirmed. The
starting OF the cases by the county, how
ever, has had tho effect Of causing back
taxes to the amount Of many thousand
dollars to be paid into the county treas
ury, that would perhaps have never been
paid. Some Of these delinquents went |
back - far - twelve yean. All future |
proceedings by counties will necessarily
be under tho new ruling % laid down by
the supreme court Sidney Telegraph.
