ONE of the soundest indications of
recovery from a period of business de
pression is renewed activity in legiti
mate real estate transactions. There
may be, it is true, a speculative ai
tivitv in this, as in other njieeies of
property. But when the sales are
largely for cash, and when men noted
for their shrewdness and caution, who
buy only for permanent investment,
are securing good properties at advanc
ing figures, it is safe to conclude that
business is in :t fairly healthy condi
tion and the outlook propitious.
SINCE it has become evident that

Seuator Conover, of Florida, is in
Washington, likewise Judge Mackey,
of South Carolina, and both these
gentlemen say their respective States
will be represented at the Republican
Convention by solid Sherman dele

lieeu any very serious danger of blood
shed at any time, but the uncertainty
was such that business has been un
settled to a disastrous degree and the
patience- of the ]>eople was entirely
worn out. It will be a long time j

"THE mild winter now in progress,"

impression. We often hear in Eng
land the proverb. 'A frreen Christmas
makes a full churchyard,' and there
an? statistical reasons for the idea thus
expressed; but, like most theories sug
gested .by the first obvious interpreta

rect, or perhaps 1 should rather say
that it is assuredly not established by
the evidence.

THE winter which is so neglecting
us here in America continues to cut
up high oldjinks across the water.
The recent thaw has been followed by
another cold wave, the relative in
tensity of which, as compared with
the cold of previous winters, may be
judged from the fact that Lake Zurich
in Switzerland is frozen over, an event
which "has occurred three times before
in the present century. The same
dispatch which relates this fact states
also that Lakes Lorat, Xeufcbatel, and
Beeune, and the river Arve, all like
wise in the land of William Tell, are
also frozen.
ON Saturday evening, the 24th tilt.,
a three-year-old child of (ireer Mc-
Candless, of Coiinoquenessing town
ship, met its death under the following
circumstances: Mr. and Mrs. Mc-
Candless had gone to the barn, and the
child following them was told to go
back as it was too cold for him to be
out. He went back to the fire to warm
himself and while so doing his apron
caught fire. He ran into another
room, where his grandmother was,
who extinguished the flames, badly
burning her hands in doing so, bat the
child must have breathed in some of
the fire, as it died next day.

AFTER a lapse of two-and-thirty
years starving Erin once more stretches
out her emaciated hands for relief to
wards America where so many mil
lions of her children have in the in
terval homes. It is rather un
fortunate that political agitators should
have tried to make an expression of
America's sympathy with a starving
jieople appear like an indorsement of
their own political schemes. With
the latter the great majority of the
citizcnß of this country have little sym
pathy, while comparatively only a
few would deem it just or expedient
to promote them by financial aid; but
for a suffering people America's sym
pathy is accustomed to come from the

A BTTLER county correspondent
writes to correct the statement of The

that they all prefer Blaine, but siguifi
cant-ly adds that while in the matter
i of the Presidency they are adverse to
j the wishes of Senator C meron. "they
1 are not goiug to the convention to
Join in any hostile movement toward
: him." That little explanation will
| doubtless apply to many Blaine dele
gates to the State Convention, and it
i is rhe source of the widespread appre
! hension that somehow or other things
won't go exactly as the party wishes
j them to go.

Superior Milling—Now System In
troduced at the Walter & Boos Mill.
.Messrs. Walter & Boos of this place
have determined that their fl"iiring mill
here shall not be excelled or equaled
by anv in the county. They therefore
have introduced what is known as the
(fradi'al Reduction System JUaelnner;/,
bv which more and better flour is ol>-
taincd from the wheat than hereto
fore.
They have also introduced the
dlin(/s Purifier, which separates the
Hour from the middling- that formerly
was used for feed but now turned into
(lour of better quality and greater yield
than by the old system. The flour
they now make is equal to any made
elsewhere in this county. See their
advertisement for fuller particulars.

The Size of It.
We notice some of our cotempor
aries in this and neighboring counties j
are offering a Pittsburgh weekly for
several months as an inducement to
catch unwary subscribers. Like the
chroino-almanac premiums, this is a
cheap style that suggests inferior wares
and limited patronage, l>earing about
the same relation to enterprising jour
nalism that oleomargarine does to
prime butter.— Frank lin Prena.
The Pre*x is alioiit riglTt. It is a
confession on the part of such pub
lishers that there papers are not worth
the subscription price. And then it is
likely to operate in another way, by
the city weeklies eventually occupying
the field of the home journal to the
great detriment and loss of the latter.
