The Raven.

Writing on "Birds In Christian Leg
end and Symbol in the National Re-
view. Rev. r. L. Giles says:
The raven is looked upon with divid-
ed feelings. He is the bird Of i'll
omen" par excellence. "Corvo di NAL
augurio" IS indeed the Italian equiv
alent Of the phrase and "Ungluck-
5rabe" the German one. According to
the fathers. ne is the emblem of pro-
crastination. with his cry of "Cras,
cras"-"Tomorrow, tomorrow" His
not having returned to the ark has al
ways been Remembered against him. Yet
he, too, is a pious bird lie played his
part In the Christmas mystery. 1t was
said that at the hour of the great birth
the crock crowel "Christus natus est"
the raven crcaked "Quan3o?" the rock
cawed lilac nocte," the oy mooed
'Ubi?" the sheep b!cGtod "Eothlehcm,"
and the ass brayed "Eamus" This is
found as early as the fourth century.

ciews Says Better Farming Must be
Doue to Reduce Cost of Living.

Gradually and surely the country is
draying away from the effects of the
late panic, declares Banker Henry
Clews in his weekly letter on the fl.
naneial and business situation. Every
observer in touch with affairs knows
that curative forces are running Quiet
ly but strongly on the road to recov-
cry, say Mr.. Clews. In nearly ali
of our greet industries it must be ad-
United that primary conditions are
sound, that credit has been purged Of
the rottenness that brought on the pan
ic, that speculation is less reckless, that
consumption is increasing, that con-
fidence is reviving, that industry and
traffic are returning to their old pro-
portions and that so far as the vol
ume Of business is concerned the indica.
tions are that the pre-panic level
will soon be reached, if not entirely
passed, as it ought to be with our steady
growth of population.
in one respect only is the outlook
not entirely satisfactory; profits have
been severely curtailed, and are not
likely to regain their former standard
until further economies have been in
trodnced and extravagances more com
pletcly elinin ated. Fortunately the
panic has not fallen as severely as
usual upon labor; the number of un.
employed never having been dispropor-
tionately large, and the reductions in
wages, being few and unimportant.
The panic fell hardest upon those in
moderate circumstance with fixed in
comes; for, owing to the high prices
for food and clothing, the cost of liv-
ing has been excessive and threatens
to continue so until our farmers make
the earth produce more abundantly
and DO their legitimate part towards
rebuilding national prosperity. Our
crops could easily be sufficiently aug
mented by more careful and more
cultivation, thus giving the
farmer q larger gross profit and the
country the blessing of cheap food and
cheap clothing, which it must have if
we are to really prosper. OF course,
the present high cost of living is not
entirely due to the farmer; neverthe
less heis largely responsible and ought
10 be frankly told 80 "

The Saginaw Courier Herald Of Tues
day contained the following
Hon. Joseph w Fordney arrived
home from Laurel, Miss, where he
has been since his recent visit home,
Sunday morning. He will be in the
city for 8 few days at least and will
not return to Washington until his
presence is needed on account of
tariff legislation. He was asked as to
the reported likelihood that he would
be member of the tariff conference
committee aud said: 81 have no adj
vices hey ond what has been given in
the dispatches. In seniority of SER
vice on the ways and means committee
there are three or four ahead of
me. OF course / would regard it as
a high honor and if l am selected
| will endeavor to do my duty. My
position on the tariff is pretty well
understood but 1 have no in sid en-
formation as to who will be appoint
ed. Senator Burrows will undoubted-
ly be on the senate committee of con-
ference but the position of Michigan is
such that member of the house con-
fer ence committee from Michigan
might possibly be considered.
1.-THE lumber business in the south is
looking up. The demand is way ahead
of what it was year ago but the prices
are not what they shou Id be. The Gil.
christ Fordney Co. shipped a million
feet more than it manufactured last
month. This helps to reduce stock on
hand. The railroads have not com
menced buying yet. Our Company is
working up satisfactory export trade.
We believe prices will advance and we
are declining orders for deliveries in
ninety days except at the market prices
as they may then be- Our plant is be-
ing operated to its full capacity. The
season in the south is we'll advanced.
Trees are in full leaf and it seems quite
a change to come back here and find
northern March weather in May"

t& COMMITTEES.

COMMITTEES. u y
George Miller, the Washington cor
respondent Of the Detroit News, who
has quite faculty for getting inside
information, writes his paper as fol-
lows:
1T is the expectation of the high ia
riff men in both houses of congress that
Mr.. Fordney, of Michigan. will be a
member of the conference committee
on the tariff. If this is true, it will
mean that Fordney will be one of a
body of men who will perfect thu real
bill. as the conferrees are, after all, the
people when it comes to the disputed
points in a measure of this impor-
lance.
The plan, as outlined for The News
by leading member of the senate. is
to have the conference committee
consist of seven men, four republicans
and three democrats, from each house.
In the senate it has been the unbroken
custom to make the ranking members
of the finance committee the members
of the conference committee. The four
senate republicans will therefore be
Aldrich of Rhode Island, Burrows of
Michigan, Penrose of Pennsylvania,
and Hale of Maine.
The democratic senators Will be
Daniel of Virginia. Money of Mississip-
pi, and Bailey of Texas, but they will
not count, as the work of conference
will be controlled by the eight repub-
licans from the house and senate. The
four house republicans, If the present
plan natures, will be Payne of New
York, Dalzell of Pennsylvania, Mccall
of Massachusetts,, and Fordney of Mich.
igan. The democrats will be Clark of
Missouri, Underwood of Alabama, and
Griggs of Georgia.
Hill of Connecticut stands ahead of
Fordney on the house committee, but
it is said he is persona non grata
with the high protectionists of both
houses, since he wants free hides
and other things, and beside, to
leave him on the conference commit
tee would give New England four
members The explanation for re-
placing Hill with Fordney will there
fore be that it is desired to give the
country west Of the Alleghenies at
least two members and that it can not
be done without displacing one of the
New England members.
