POLITICAL NONSENSE.
[Grundy Republican,

We notice in the daily papers that

fore congress which will open up

Among the cites near us 10 be bene-.

pose.
Let us take Vinton for example.
whose postoffice, We presume. does

TO be safe We will credit Ninton with
postal receipts OF 100000 year. Now

would amount TO but $4,000 year.

living in the town of Ninton or IN the
country around about who would not
have for standing joke the man with
his $4,000 building and his $2O,o0o

The truth Of the matter is that the
whole business Of the pork barrel Is
all political nonsense and the only
good that can he said TO come from
the system is. to give the citizens OF

EXIT ZOE CANNON.

Uncle Joe Cannon, veteran member
and former speaker Of the house, de-
livered his farewell speech in congress
Saturday. Mr.. Cannon does not retire
does not begin his "unrequested
leave of absence" as he puts it-until
March 4, but thought the present an
opportune time in which to sing his
swan song. Mr.. Cannon declares he
returns to the ranks to be a voter and
a patricia partisan patriot. Mr.. Can
non admits he is an old, old man and
does not expect to again aspire to poll
teal honors.
Mr.. Cannon has served in congress
forty years. This is a remarkable rec
ord. Few men could have gained the
honor of twenty elections to congress
from the same district Not many
was q lkable man in many respects.
His was a strong personality, altho at
times uncouth in language and rough
Of manners.
When the nation awakened to the
dangerous drift of politics and its eff
fects on the general welfare, Mr.. Can
non refused to go forward. He got
in the way Of the procession and at
tempted to lead it from the highway Of
progress. He baked, and was thrown
into the discard. If history gives Can
non a high place, It will be because Of
what he was in his earlier career and
not as an old man who danced jig in
the White House

THE BUSINESS FIELD.

Business sentiment, while confident
is conservative. Trade in most i'm
portant branches continues TO show
satisfactory gain over last year in VOL
ume Of transactions. A notable de-
velopment is the marked increase in
railroad activity. While track con-
struction Is at low ebb, the railroads
are, with conspicuous energy. adding
to their rolling stock and extending
their terminal and other facilities for
handling both freight and passengers.
This creates a notable demand for iron
and steel which now constitutes the
most important factor in that trade.
Railroad earnings continue large, the
record Of gross earnings for the first
week of January showing a gain Of IFS
per cent-the largest increase in over
a year-but this in part is accounted
for by the weather conditions, which
are exceptionally favorable for rail-
road traffic.
The copper trade is the only great
Industry which does not report cur
rent Improvement. The dry goods
market is not only more active than
last year, but enjoys a satisfactory
outlook for the coming months. The
shoe trade also improves, with pros
pect Of still larger business. Bank
c.earings this week Increased 10 per
cent and 1875 per cent, respectively,
over the preceding two years. The
wheat and cotton markets displayed
considerable irregularity. Foreign
commerce statistics continue to make
q remarkable exhibit Of expansion in
our trade with other countries. Dur
tne the latest week the exports from
New York totaled the large sum Of
s24.49e,3ss, which was not only 5000
600 to ss,oO0,0 600 larger than in the cor
responding weeks in 1872 ard 1911, but
was nearly ss,o0o,0Qo in excess of the
imports.
Cotton goods in the gray and cotton
warns are slightly easier. but knit
goods rule steady, with the demand for
snrine goods broader, and blankets
hannetettes and mapped cottors gcac--
aliy for fall are being purchased. Sales
n mint cloths at Fall River last week
reached $4,000 pieces. Miscellaneous
EXPORT trade is quiet but inquiries foI
goods. for China shipment are more
numerous.
