The Sioux Falls, 8. D., national bank has failed. The largest carpet mills in the world located in the state of New York, has closed down, putting 4000 men out of employment.

A “metzel soup” is made up from the choicest juices of the boiling meats and boiled wursts, to which are added vegetables and seasoning, to make it a soup of delicious flavor.

While there is no that these gentlemen meant well in using such language, such a report would never have been made public by any European power, and it should not have been published here. Ex-Senator Walsh, of Ga, now vis. iting Washington, retains the editori- al faculty of stating the situation ina nut-shell. He said: “It isto be sin- cerely hoped that prosperity will come to the country through the incoming administration. Every patrici hopes for that. The Republicans will have the responsibility, and if their meth- ods and policies are for the general good, to them will belong the credit. But if they fail to carry out the. prom- ises they have made, that if entrusted with power, great benefit would ac- crue to the country, then the Democ- racy will meet them at Phillippi. Any man who reckons that the Democrat- ic party is dead is making a serious mistake. If I am not greatly mistak- en it will be very much alive in 1900." Those who always jump to conclu- sions have taken it for granted that McKinley would send to the Senate for ratification, the treaty negotiated during the last days of the Harrison administration, providing for the an nexation of Hawall, which was with- drawn by Mr. Cleveland. He will do nothing of the sort. Hels opposed to the wording of that treaty and will not send it to the Senate at ali.

There is truth in the following from an exchange: ““There is one matter at a disadvantage in time of money stringency as compared with the man- ufacturer. The publisher never finds a time when he can shut down his plant and lay off his employes, except when he reaches a point where he be- comes a “busted community” so to speak.
