The Uushiuss situation as shown by

circumstances weie against any decid

lust week, still thi'iu wan u noticeable
continuation of thu "low and steady
Kiuwtli that has beun churacteilstle of
business ever since the November elec

couit atllimltur the opeiatluiis of thu
Sherman anti-trust law as legal ds
railroad UKieenieiits fin the malnten
anie of freight lates had a tendency to
rlemoialize the maikets, but despite
this they bore up lemaikably well.
Then, the snow In the west and the
continuation of the heavy Hoods In the
Mississippi valley and along the liveis
trlbutaiy to that meat stieam, to
gether with a luither lalnfall, weie
nutuially obstacles to heuvy business,
while the dissolution of the Iron pool
was not of an) piesent benefit. It Is
i heeling to obseivo that liutwltlisland
ing nil these uiitownid clieunistutu'es,
the business ol the counlrj was able
to maintain .so stumg a position and
to even make a little ndunee II Is

ued eontldeni u uiul of stiong leason
foi expectations of a i ontluued giowth
and wklenliig of business, and Indus

rapidly to be sine, but inofct eeitalnly

Industrial bustle, which means so much
for the countiy.
Tlie decision of the Supieme couit de

It Is to be said, then, that while tlieie

Theie will be no whoksule changes until
after the new tarllt law is on the -tatule
books. That .will be ome tlni' elong in

Is not a ei) piolltable business. I costs
money and a heap of It, too. To conduct
a successful campaign the place hunter
ought to be right heie In Washington inl

Theie Is no telling what day, horn eli
minate the piesldent mat make up ills

Multitudes of leadeis will legiet the
death of "Oliver Optic," who for mole
than thlity )eais has entcitalned the
young with titan and wholesome fiction.
Ho was not a cieat w liter, but theie
was a lobust and manly tone In nls
writings which appealed to the sympa
thies and the best Impulses of every
healthy Ameiican. boy. No paieut eer
had occasion to fear the Inlluence of
"Oliver Optic" oer his joungsteis; its
elfect was geneially to Incite their am
bition In the light dlieclion, and It
would be well If this could be said of
all the wilteis who have attempted to
succeed him in the Held ot juvenile llt
eiatuie. The leport of the state capltol build
ing committee pi luted elsewheie today
seems to Indicate good judgment on
pait of the membeis. Theie is no tea
sou why theie should be lestiictlon In
thepnceot a building which to a ceitaln
extent is lepiesentatlve of the wealth
and enteipiise of the gieatest com
monwealth in the Union. Buildings
should be elected on a scale of mag
nificence in keeping with the piogiess
of the state uen at a cost exceeding
the estimate of tlie committee. This
Is no time to piactlce economy -in the
election of cheap edifices.

Maiconl, the young Italian electilclan

communicating tliiouirh, aiound, or

These lepoits may be untitle, but It
seems clear that to use the familiar

Is unwise. The uewspapeis should not
