It took trade some little while to get on its feet, but now it is commencing more and more to employ its hands in getting along. Ox Monday State Senator George Ross, (Itm) , died at his home at Doylestown, l'a., from riglit disease. He was one or the ablest members of that Ixxly. Senator Sherman thinks for all that the country has had enough of a mo ncxly tariff. This is another dig at MrKinley, who i? under the impression he had been entirely dug up. McXeary, Tenn., a station on the Mobile and Ohio railroad, was complete ly wiped off the map by fire on Tues day. The total loss is aliout $75, (MM). The fire is thought to be the work ot in cendiaries. Ax industrial plant at Baltimore has notified its employees of a ten percent increase on wages to take effect Decem lr 1. That is what the Wilson law is doing for workingmen. That is how it affects wages. Si 'gar has gone up an eighth of a cent a pound since the election. Does the sugar trust feel more secure in its rmsi tion, and that the house bill, pending in the senate, cutting off its precious bit of protection, will fail of passage? Oklahoma, and more estcially the Cherokee strip, has been visited by a tierce sand storm for a week, and the sand is blinding. The city authorities have ordered fires in the business sec tion to be extinguished, l'art of the time one could not see fifty feet. If it had not leen for Republican ger rymandering in Pennsylvania every con gress district in the state might have leen swept by the Republicans at the late election. In cooping too many Dem ocrats into a few districts the Republican bosses overdid the matter, and suffer by their own cunning. Jovekxor Fower has summoned John R. Fellows, district attorney of New York to show cause why he should not be re moved from oilice. This action of the governor is the result of charges of ne glect of duty ou the part of Colonel Fel lows made by a committee representing the good government clubs of New York city. A tittle more than thirty miles from the coast of Japan the Pacific ocean was found to le over 28,(XH) feet deep. Sune ollicers surveying for a telegraph cable had their wire break at this depth without reaching the bottom. This is said to le the deepest sounding ever made, and is so deep that the two high est mountains in Japan placed one over the other in this abyss would leave the summit of the uprier one, two-thirds of a mile below the surface of the water. The government November crop re ort shows an improvement in the pros pects of the cotton crop, which is attrib uted to favorable Oetoter weather. The crop has been more rapidly harvested and marketed than in any former year The rej-ort also shows that the corn yield averages alout one and a half bushels per acre more than was indicated in Oo tolr. The present estimated average is 1.7 bushels per acre throughout the country. Rut this is the lowest rate of yield since The apple crop at large is put down at 41J per cent, of an average product, while the yield of hay is 1.15 tons per acre, against 1.32 tons in 1S'.3. Indications multiply to show that the German government is pursuing a re pressive policy toward importatations from the United .States that in the end may call for retaliation. The latest evi dence is contained in a report to the state department from United States Consul Roberston, at Hamburg. He says that a movement is being set on foot by the imjierial government look ing to the complete exclusion of dried and evaporated apples from the United States, which are found to contain more than a specified amount of zinc, Sup posed to have been taken up from the ziuc frames on which the fruit is dried As a result the trade would severely suf for. The government of the United States, says the Philadelphia lifotml, has too large a floating debt to do business with safely. It could manage to get along pretty smoothly as long as it had a large surplus of ready cash on hand with which to tide over such emergent occa sions as occurred in 1S73 and 1S84 Rut there is danger in redundant reve nue and large surpluses. They breed extravagance as suiteits breed indiges- tion. There would be no billion dollar expenditure every two years if there had not leen an opportunity and an excite ment in the condition of the federal treasury. The demand liabilities of the treasury are, therefore, not only a mis chief in themselves, but they are the prolific source of collateral mischiefs. The public mind has feen debauched as to the true nature and oflice of money by making an evidence of debt an arbitrary measure of value. There is no way out of the evil in which the finances of the country are entangled ex cept to take'im mediate measures to rid ourselves of government paper money. Until that shall have been accomplished no safe basis of business can lie estab lished that will not be at any time liable to upheaval as the result of a financial convulsion, engineered possibly by cli.iiw-s or syndicates organized to make tiofit (Hit of public disaster. , R. G. Drs A- Co's. weekly review of trade for last week, says: In nearly all branches of business gradual improvement appears. La.-t week was noted the fact that the main conditions of business and trade had not suddenly i hanged, and this Ik-cUmihs clearer, to the disappointment of some. Low farm products, low wages and only partial employment of la!or still retard distribution, and the limited demand hindering the progress toward recovery has not ceased and many establishments have resumed or added to their pro ducing force, some also advancing wages, but it will take time to lift busi ness out of its depression, and the pro gress made, if less than the sanguine ex pected, is at least encouraging. The decision to offer $50,1.100.000 of bonds for replenishment of the treasury reserve was by bankers generally ap proved, but events are showing that res toration of confidence cannot by itself remove all embarrassment. It is gen erally assumed that the offered bonds will le taken at once. The effect is less easy to anticipate, for the formal an nouncernent that, after a general recon struction of the revenue laws, it is still found necessary to borrow largely tends to raise doubt about financial provisions for the future. The re-orted importa tion of gold from Ixudon with a loss on its face of $7,5o0 at prjsent exchange rates is presumably meant to effect the bond subscriptions. There have already been some withdrawals of gold from the treasury by redemption of notes to make paymentsfor (Minds, and goods rather than gold are likely to come from Europe. Indon has also sold here about 15,(100 shares of stock during the week. Money continues to accumulate, none going west, while the outgo to the south has diminished. Rankers are much en couraged by indications of larger busi ness, but there is no increase as yet in commercial borrowing. For finished products of iron the de mand is ou the whole narrower, so that structural beams are lower, the barbed wire combination has broken, the strife in nails continues at the lowest prices heretofore named, and both grey forge and Ressemer are a shade lower at I'itts burg. Failures in the first week of No vember were larger than of Ifltc, liemg 270 in the I'nited States against 232 Ia.-t year, and 38 in Canada agaiust3t; last year. Is regard to the validity of the mai riage license law a dispatch from Harris burg says that Attorney General Hens-! has declined to give Auditor General Gregg an opinion as to whether fir not there is any license law in force in I'enn sylvania, in view of the question raised at Pittsburg recently that the act of 1W on this subject repeals the marriaut act of 18S5 or suspends it until OctnU-r 1, 1SV5. General Gregg's request for an official opinion in this matter was made at the suggestion of a number of clerks of the orphans' court iu the state. The attorney general declines to giv an opinion, because he says no cause or state of facts calling for such an opinion has been presented either to him or to the auditor general. He adds, however, he does not hesitate to express his indi vidual opinion and unofficial that tin claim that the act of 1885 is repealed, susjiended or abrogated is unsound He holds that it was the intention of the act of 1803 simply to amend the act of 1885, by providing that hereafter marriage licenses might issue either out of the county ifi which the ceremony was to be performed, 'as heretofore, or out of the county of the residence of either of the contracting parties. By the terms of the act of 18t3, its enlarged provisions do not become effective until October 1, IM'o. ileantime n li the opinion of Mr. Hensel that the act of June 23, 1885, requiring marriage licenses and imosing a penalty for th solemnization or witnessing of marriages without such licenses, is in full force and operation. Judge Waddell, of Chester county, in his charge to jurors recently made clear to them how it is thai costs may be imposed upon a man who is acquitted of an offence with which he may be charged : "This," said the Judge, "is a subject that the public do not generally under Stand. A jury may be satisfied that the man is not guilty of the crime with which he is charged, and yet he may have behaved in such a way as to lead others to believe that he was guilty. His indiscreet or unlawful behavior may have been of such a character as to war rant an investigation and to have justi tied the commonwealth in making it. The defendant in such cases, although innocent of the crime, or at least not proven guilty to the satisfaction of the jury, is nevertheless to blame in some degree, and imposing the costs upon him is the only punishment that can be given him for that offense, and it is no injustice or inconsistency to impose them upon him. To impose the costs upon him for the purpose of saving that amount to the county treasury would not only be a false idea of economy, but alisolute injustice. It is only when, in the opinion of the jury, that the con duct of the defendant has been such as to make him deserving of some punish ment that they can acquit him of a crime charged and yet impose costs in cases knownas misdemeanors," Wm. L. Wilson's congressional dis trict extends from the Pan Handle in the northwest of West Virginia, along the Pennsylvania and Maryland boundaries eastward to Virginia, south to Pocahon tas county and west to Webster, Upshur and Harrison counties.

C , Nov. 17. 1M4 Those Republicans and Populists who aretriu-so hard to make somebody think that they believe the Democratic party, a- a national organization, is dead, are merely making themselves ridicu lous. The Democratic party, which, to go no further ' ack than the me mory of every middle ageel man, made six suc-ce.-sive unsuccessful prcsid'ntial cam paigns defeated in five al the poils and in one ;it the hands of an abortion known as th electoral c. in mi. m i not to bo knieil by disse-utii -n among a few of it.- prominent members which re sulted! in a .-lay at home vote la rye' enough to defeat it in a congre.-ioual election. -n the contrary, that defeat will eventually make the Democratic party stronger than ever before, because it will result in showing some of the prominent experimenters that delega tions from the tab;i.-hed principles. of the party will not be tolerated ty the voters: that tiiou-am!.-, aye' millions of good Democrats will refuse to endorse' any half and half principles, preferring defeat to compromise with principles they have1 been taught to oppose. The re'eent election was a biue r lesson, but the future will prove that it wai a useful one. President Cleveland is not spending much time at the W hite House ju.-t now. Iiecau.se the time is short between this and the assembling of congre'.-s. and his annual message to congress, which will be one of the mo.-t important to the country and to the Democratic party he has ever writte n, requires his entire time, and he- can work undisturbed at his country resilience, something which experience has shown him he cannot do in his otlice at the White House. During his vacation the pre -si dent devoted much time to studying the linaucial system eif the? country, which is generally admitte-el to be radically ele; fective, and the result ef tiiat study will le shown in theie'commend.itiuns of his message to congress. No Democrat e-an possibly regret the issue of bonds, oliicially announced this week by Secretary Carlisle, more than iloe-s Pre'Sident Clevelanel and the- mem bers of his cabinet, but in the? fae-e of the nece.sity for pre-se-rvinir the' nation al creelit, ami in the absence of any other method, owing to the system inherited from a long series of Re hublican admin istrations, regrets were iilie- and action imperative. v hen a merchant find his cre-dit endangered, owing to b;- lC" ecip's being le.-s than his fCiiditures, he cannot afford to -' ,l,,u' regrets lie'cause l- epe uditiii. s are- largely tl le-sult of extravagant contracts made by his pre elee cs.-or. His cri-dit must be-proie-ctcd anil nothing will do that but prompt payment of hi- obligations as they mature, and to do that he must have1 money anil it can only be ha I by borrowing it on his note. That he- does, trusting to his ability toftop the lcaks ln his busine ss and make it preititable in order to pay it hack. That is precisely the o-itiou of the administration in aii-iieiune-ing an issue of bonds. Senators Ransom and Gorman had a casual mee-t'ng and a friendly converse tion in a com mitten room at tin; Capitol one day this wet k, and straightway a story was starte-d that they had evoive-d a plan by which a Democrat was to be e-lecte-d at an extra se ssion if the North Carolina le gislature to till the mi-xiiini! term f the late Senator 'ane e:, and Sen ator Ransom was to re-ign and be e le'ct eel for a full term be-ginning March I. 1'.'5, at the samee-xtra session.
