The Harrison Administration en tered upon the new year with the de pressing effect cf nearly 11 per cent more bu."in(rs failures In 1S89 over those of 1S8, and an increase of nearly J7 per cert, liabilities. Herein is most beautifully Illustrated the "protection" to buinea Interests which the election of Harrison was to bring about. Hon. William D. Kelly, of Thil adelphia, th- oldest member of Con gress and known as the 'Father of the House." died in Washington cn Thurs day of last week. He wa? nearly seventy-six years old, and during the latter years of his life his general health has not been good, so that he easily fell a victim to the weakening Influences of disease. In Chicago, on Tuesday, Judge MjConneU granted a new trial to Kunz, sentenced to three yeara for complicity In the Crocla mnrder. The verdict, so far as it concerned this prisoner, is denounced as an absuidity by the Court. Kunze has been admitt ed to bail and may never be tried g.Io. The other three prisoners already oc cupv cells In the Joitet Penitentiary. After waiting six weeks from the opening of Congress President Harrison on Tuesday Frnt to the Senate the nomination of Ex-Goyernor Henry C.

On Saturday at Helena, Montana, llessrp. Sanders and Towers, who were elected United States Senators by the Republican House and Senate of that State, made foiinal application to Gov ernor Too!e fcr certificates of election. Their request was denied cn the ground that their taction was Illegil, and al PO tecausa it the fact that Governor Toole had alreadv given certificates of election to Messrs.

There id more reason this year siys the New York Cownercial Advertiser , than one usually Aids In the predic tions of a prosperous trade year for tbe country In 1$X). It is true that Wall street, the financial barometer has been down pretty low within the last month or two and on at least one occasion dropped pretty nearly to the storm lev el. The chief reason for this was tbe local embaraassment arisiog from the collapse of the trust bubble, and this bad little if any effect upon tbe country at large. We have harvested this year tbe largest grain and cotton crop in our history, and its movement to the coast is now so large that the railroads can not furnish cars enough to cany it The iron busiatss has awakened from its two years1 lethargy and is now at the height of activity and prosperity Tbe farmers who sell grain and cotton and cattle to Eastern men will buy goods and groceries in return and tbe year promises to open with a period of almost unprecedented activity iu trade. Drbt of all. this trad Is on no inflated and tio speculative basis. The dia couragemeut in Wall street has served a nseful purpose of checking tbs specu lative impulse, and there is no indiea cation that we shall have 1673 over again. Even the abnormal and dan gerous advances in land prices which have aecompaoied previous years of prosperity are to be expected now ; for the "land boom" rose and fell before the present good times began. As for the higher rates are themselves an inN dex of car busier tiade ; and If they suppress extravagant speculations then so much the better. Tdk President does not allow the Blaine family to get ahead of him. The Secretary's brother was appointed Deputy Anditor tbe other day and cow a cousin of the President, or of Mrs. Harrison, is appointed Assistant Dis trict Attorney for southern Iowa. The Springfield Rfpullican says that Mr. W. C. Howell, the Presidential rela tive in question, is a cousin of Mrs. Harrison and says : "It baa not es caped notice; that Mrs. Harrison la get ting more patronage than her husband. Mrs. Harrison has now in cQce a fath er, brother, cousin and niece's husbaud, while Mr. . Harrison has only provided for his brother, nephew and brother's son-iu-Iaw." Bu: the Sioux City Tri lune, published in Mr. Ilow.U'e own S ate, speaks of blm as a cousin of the President. The point la not material ; the important thing is that another member cf the Harrisju family is get ting his sustenance from tbe Govern ment. Ilarirson's wae a great boon to the Harrionss. It is reported, siys the Pittsburg 1'oxt, that the form of a treaty of ex tradition hae bt?en agreed upon by Minister Lincoln and Lord Salisbury, arid that a copy has been received by the Canadian governmnt for its con spiration. This treaty, it is stated, is an extension of the Ashburton treaty of 1S42, which included only six eff-nsea in the list of extraditable crimes, name ly, murder, piracy, arson, robbery forgery and utterance of forged parr. The new treaty takes in a great num ber of offenses. Including "the emUz zlement or larceny of uny sum ar arti cle of the value of ?50 or uwari." This will close the doors of Canada as a harbor of refuge to mauy enterprising American financiers. The rogues who have got tbere, bowever, wiil noi be disturbed, as the treaty does cot app:y to past offenses. "It la prcposed rays the Xational Dow-rat, to subsidize certain steam ship Hues "; these run, or are to run, to the west Indies, Mexico, Central and tsouth America. To these countries we export a considerable amount of gods, but little or no farm produce. The great bulk of our Jfarm produce. which Is Itself the great bulk of our total exports, goes to Europe. Nobody proposes to subsidize steamship lines to Europe. We presume that the farm ers of this country see the point. The Government will be asked this winter to pay the freight for tbe maooTactur- ers, but no one. has suggested that it should pay the freight for the farmers of this country. About how long do the farmers intend to stand the kind of legislation that the Republican party Hives the country. In the House at Washlnrrnn nn o - , Monday, three reports were made bv the Silcott Investigating Committee ; the majority one by Chairman Adams and two minority ones by Messrs. Hemphill and Iloltu.n. The majority report Is to the eff-tct that th mm bers are entitled to receive from the Government the monies doe them that were eroVzz'ed by Caller Silcott. Mr. Holman in h's report does not -. knowledge that the Sergcant-at -Arms, iroui wtjose efnee the money was stolen, is the disbursing officer of the House. If be is the distntsin? e flloer, says Mr. Ilohuiin, !he loss mnst ?li on the Gov. eminent, but if not. the members must i-ear an loss. Mr. Ilrr-phi!! recom mn,ds that the matter be settled bv th Court of Claims. The Philadelphia Ilecord. is nn. d ubtedly one of the best papers pub lished iu the United S:ate aud along with that it is one of the cLeawst. It ia a leader in the cause of tariff refoim and has done more to educate the peo pie to tbe manuer in which they are Le- ng robbed by the thieves tariff than any other paper iu Pennsy lvania.

Cabj Jlsnarcbs. The great importance that has been attached by ail tbe leading men in Spain to the life of the baby King il lustrates the peculiar advantages pos sessed by a healthy male infant for the duties of a modern monarchy. Nowa days, in Europe, a King reigns, bnt does cot govern. He Is simply tbe symbol or embodiment of an abstract idea. He represents something fixed and tangible tht does not chanee with tbe changes of government and tne ops and downs of popular sentiment. The actual executive power is in the Minis try, subject to the control of the repre sentatives of the people, and tbe active interference of the monarch in public business is usually resented and is like ly to do mischief. An adult monarch is often tempted to such interference, but a cLild is not. Hence tbe advan tage of a baby king. In seme countries tbe little king's sister would serve jost as well. The people of Holland, for example, will be quite pleased when the young Princess Wilhelmiaa shU succeed to the imbe cile o'd king. But in Spain tbere etill are sticklers for the Salic law who do not believe in a true succession In the female line. This was tbe whole groncd of contention of Don. Carlo, and though Alfonso came in under a title derived from bis grandmother, yet his son's succession tended to es tablish the lice against the claims of tbe Carlists. Tbe reversion of tbe crown to a girl will be very likely to revive tbe pretensions of tbe present Don Carlos, and tbe monarchy in Spain is not quite strong enough to bear any serious division among its partisans. At tbe same time Republican senti ment Is cot strong enough to do with out tbe monarchy. Tbe leading Re publican statesmen, like Castelar, maintain that tbe Nation must grow accustomed to representative govern ment acd parliamentary customs berore it can safely dispense wi h tbe form of fixed executive. This is what has giv en the Republicans also a special inter est in tbe life of tbe little king, who served tbe purpose of a figure-head so well under tbe existing constitution. From their point of view, however, the little- siter will do es well, tte molber, th Queen Regent, being a lady of great tact ana good Bens who evidently holds the respect and affection of the whole people and who maintains the dignity of tbe Crown without middling in af fairs of government. rhila. Times. The Present Crngressiaaal Situation. This week's proceedings la th Hons of R?prt-sentatlves ere sure to be in teresting and important. The Re publicans will undoubtedly take ad vantage of the chaotic condition that prevails, utider the arbitary and fitful code denominated "Speaker Reed's rule," to obtan Incidental advantages that will promote thir seLeme for s'renirtheniDg the majority ty unsat ii g D.mocratic membeis and giving their p'ac-s to Republican contestants. In ability aBd elrquence tbe advant age in the present House i3 decidiy with tbe D.-mocrats. The Republicans have no one on :he floor to take the place of Speaker Rtd, and th: Sp?aktr, while ready to US9 all the power of the Chair, lacks the co-operation o a floor leader capable o' carrying out his plans. M i jor MeKinlt-y's ability evidently does not li iu the line of Parliamentary tactics, and men of much information aod experience in CongreES, such as Mr. Cannon of Illinois, do cot enter into parliamentary codes; at this ses sion with their accustomed energy. The dull mediocrity cf Harrisonism and the utter hopelessness of Republi can prospects exercise a depressing in fluence upon the members of the ma jority. Thes conditions may chauge somewhat as tbe session proceeds, but up to date the sup-riortly of I he Dem ocratic side bus been strikingly maci fehted. Tbe stale of affairs above described is uot by any means free fram danger. That "pride goeth before a fail" is a maxim to bn always borne in mind in the conduct of struggles iu closely di vided deliberative nodus. Overccnfl dence, based on ability and pre-Iiminary success, la an apparent DaiOcratic danger. Tbe future is hopeful, bnt it is the prenent with which we bave to deal, and the greatest cre must bj taken that no point of advantage how ever s-e.minglc trifling, b lo-st. from day to dav. X. Y. tar. Judicial Outrage ia Florida. That the authority of the United Staus Court in Florida has been gross ly perverted for Drusn n proved in the trial of a case before Judge 8ajneat Jacksonville on Wed- A lefer of recen date was read In evidence in which United Siates Mar shal John R. Mizell wrote to C. C. Kirk, his deputy, to "make out a lis: of fifty or sixry names of tried and true Ropoblicans from your county regis traiion list to serve as jurors." The list was forwarded as directed, and the Federal Court is alleged to be conduct ed on the basis of packfcd juries from which all but R-publicans approved by tha Machine ledis are carefully ex cluded. The outrage Is of the most flagrant acd boldest sort' but. Judge Swajne seems to treat it as a trifling informali ty respecting which the chief difficulty is that it has been found out. The case on trial when the disclosure occurred grew out of the elections ;the accused at the bar was a Democrat, and the ob ivous effect of the selection.of a hostile partisan lurv was to nrevent rir hearing and just judgment of the cause. The letter ot the Marshal was, in fact. comDlete evi-tnnro nf tha art est jjb of "jury fixing" on record. The law reeulatin? the drrinr nt juries is very specific in its precautions ngaiuat. partisan aamimstratiun. Tne act of 1S79 provides that the drawing shall be by the Clerk of the Court and a Commissioner, "a well-known member of the principal political party opposicg that lo which the Clerk may belong," and it further prescribes tbe method of their work as follows: "The said clerk and the said Commissioner each to place one came in said box alternately, without reference to party affiliations." But it aDUears thu.t hv tha onnor.i-..-- of the Fioilda officials it made cot tbe least difference in the world what was done at the statutory drawing. The lists furnished to tbe Clerk by the dep uty Maisbal, at the order of his cbier, were it seems, made op of selected "tried and true Republicans." Out of such a sufpty ODly partisan jurors couid be drawn, and the final selection could not be made "without reference to party affiliations," as tbe law re quires. This all eition cf Dackinir of ITmtprf States juries Is the most serious of many severe charges against the pre sent Administration that have arisen out of recent events. Equal justice be tween all citizens and exact observance or the statutes designed to prevent favoritism in courts, are mattere that lie close to the foundation of popular government. No contempt of them or light dealing witu them can b? tol erated by any bones; official or any pa triotic citizen.

Y. Star. Sew Hays to Utilize the Sell. Farmers in this country are asking bow tbey can diversify their crop? and make valuable the soil that is hardly worth tbe intereet. tbe taxes and the working. In England also this ques tion is op for debate, and answers nave for some time been coming In. One is raising fruit to preserve it for borne and foreign consumption. One feature of life that is increasing is tbe extent to which f jod ia prepared so that it needs only a little manipulation for tbe table. In this way housekeeping has materi ally changed, and the process ia going ou in ELgiand even faster than in this country. For example, in Kent county 75.000 hands are employed in preparing for the market fruits in a great mnny ways. Where butter is dee. r pieserved frui re taking its place, not as a laxury. but as a common article of fiKvt. eprcial!y jam. which sells ic ErgUnd considerably IS9 than butter, aod is deemed a nuturious article ot focd. There are many ways to put the soil to use at once practicable and remunerative. Our farmers are too much inclined to atiek to the beaten raths, without troubling themselves o look for new ones, or hardly thinking haw their farms Can be made i,r'fUb. in new ways. Large towns and cities have created the demand and supplied the means for buying many things not before sold in quantities. The intelli gent farmer will see for himself how this state of things has spruit up right under his noee without bis having noticed it. The sail, hk the metals and other raw material, may he made useful, and evn profitable, in way that bave beeu litti or not at all tm ployed. PitUlurg Times. Twenty-loot -now DrirU.

In calling attention to the marked change that has taken place in tbe pop ular conception of tbe relation and proper functions of tba government toward private affairs, Mr. Cleveland bis done well. A strong party bs grown up which to a grea'eracd great er degree !oks to be government, to the action of tbe Execuive or .f the LegiVatun, to aff rd telief fiom diffi cul ies growing out of natural caus-s hnd g-ermun" f-c'y to ictiTidu.tl lu'er es.s a party to which trie govt-riimeot is a duuj ex mirhioa. sup;vai;tirg the p-r'finsl energy of thosie concerned. Perhaps no tendency of nvd-ro civil-iz:-tion, in Araeric at leas', is more marked fban this. To n ever increns fcd extent appeals are made for "such prac.ical tokens of g'H-dneM," to us tbe euphemism of a contemporary, as steaa-Ship suLeiidies. The sugar grow er is equally urgent, if for political rea iM't.s It-rii eurcrssfu'. in demanding a bounty as an Inducement to cou'ioue the pros-cntion of bis industry. The financial affaus of the nation are pnt in jopardy and exposed to a continual menance in order to satisfy tbe de mands of the owners of silver mines diasa'.l.sSed with the natural down ward tendency in the price of tbur commodity due to increased production. Acd finally from the boie long list of thos4 who bave tasted tbe fcDrva'ing draught of protection, who bave be come "dependants upon the favor of the government and teo2ciaries under its taxing power," there arises a unanimous demand for tbal protection in steadilyiccreasicg measuie. It is useless to attempt to gloss over these facts by eallling them -'certain well established and time tested prin ciples of political economy." The phenomenon is one which may well ar rest kbn attention of tbe statesman and the put Icist. It marks a radical change of attitude on the part ot a large stiare of tbe population toward the functions of government. The jealous preservation of private affairs from tbe interference of the State that was long tbe badge o. Anglo-Saxon freedon. seems to have decayed. Gov ernment is no longer regarded as some thing imposed by the necessity of main taining social and political order, but ss a me&ns for tbe furtherance of pri vate interests. The. Socialistic idea of a paterna1 government, regulating tbe occupations of its subjects and directing their lives, is advancing. From the extreme pro tectionist doctrines, involving gov ernmental interference to adjust the relations of different interests, to create and to destroy industries as a matter of policy and cot of capriee. the step is short to ibat socialism which merges tbe individual in the State cot in poli tics alone, but In bis entire existence. Purblind indeed is be who sees no con trast, between this and the earlv'dais'of the Republic and who derides the warn log of one more far sighted as the words cf a man who does uot foreet that he is a politician.
