We Feel It A Duty To Caution Mr.

The United States built fewer ships u 1894 than n 1893, but the tonage was greatec Some oí tlie craft turned out are splendid specimens, and arenot unlikely to make a new record on tlie oeean.

Mr. Cleveland has given hostages to fortune in a degree wliicli does him credit, and the fact that tbey are all girls is an assurance that they will never -cause tlie democratie party as niuch trouhle as it has had with their íather. The valmie of American sheep on Jan. 1, 1893, was siveii at $125,909,264, and raime of American flocks oin Jan. 1, 1895, was given at ?66,885,G67, a decline of aearly í?C0,000.000 in two years of democratie adminisfcration.

The Kafeer'e observatioa that the eea now co-nnect, inetead of divide, is not. fa.r from night when the rapid and hixurtous (transit on the ocean greynomwis is considered.

A company has been organued in France to build a ship railway from Bordeaux to Narbonne, a distance of about 300 miles.

Tlie United States is shipping iron ore to (iermany and steel to England. These exporta have not reached large prqportions yet, nor are they likely to in the near future.

The steel exports have not reached as high figures as the orp shipments, but doubtless they will increase. The late Prof. Huxley was the originator of the term "agnostic," which he used to define his position with regard to the Christain religión. "'It carne into my head,"he wrote, "as suggestively antithetic to the 'gnostic' of church history, who professed to know so much about.the very things of which I was ignorant."

A large number of bicycles are in use by the Signal Corps, and sevoral prominent army officers say they are preferable tu horsesfor many kinds of service. Itis likely, therefore, that soldiers on wheels willsoou become a regular feature of the military establishment.

Blaine by Gail Hamilton, which has just been published, contains a letter from Garfield dated January 17, 1881, in uiiich oceurs the follovving suggestive passage concerning a matter of niuch present interest and importance: "How do you feel over the financial outlook? Think of $1,300,000,000 of mouey in circnlation, with silver certificates increasing indefmitely, the coinage of 89-cent dollars going on ad nauseam, and from every unkuown crack and cranny of the world the old fractioual silver, antedating 1860, coming back to us, perhaps being manufactured bevond our jurisdiction, and shipped liere at a proflt of 25 per cent, and no law for retiring it. Howmany miles above Niágara are we?" The Treasury deficit in the fiscal vea which has just endod is about $25, 000, 000 less than it was in the yea which closed twelve months ago, o a round .$45,000,000 in all. Let us hop that in the year coming tliis embarrasa ment and discredit will end. The Empress of Gerinany delivered a long speech the other night at the 150tl anniversary of the regiment of Queen' Ouirassiers. Tlie new wouian in Atner ica is hardly advanced enough to be a Ooionel of a regiment, niuch less a Ken tucky Colonel, but then this country lacks several centuries of being as ok as Germany. The fact that the complete report o the census of 1890 will be in the hands of the public two years and a half soon er than was the report of the census o 1S80 speaks well for the executive ability of the Superintendent and the in dustry and efficiency of hissubor'dinates and the fact is to be added that the report is a model of statistical excellence England has no fear of large undertakings in the commercial and industrial world.

A story by Edith V. B. Matthews, entitled, "Little Miss Busybody," is very bright, and has an original situation. That $120,000,000 of new debt which Spain has contracted is all on account of the Cuban insurreetion. Spain was already staggering under the debt burden which she carried, and the present addition to the load is hardly the last tliat she will have to make before the rebellion is put down. Wars, even of the sort under wáy in Cuba, are costly things in the modern age, but nations govèrned under sixteeuth century ideas cannot avoid thein. Asa question of mere dollars and cents it would pay Spain to give Cuba her liberty. The jury in the Dr. Seaman case at Detroit, found him guilty, returning their verdict at 12:45 o'clock Snnday morning. This was a surprise to the doctor and bis lawyers, but the people who have kept posted about the case believe it to be a just verdict. Dr. Seaman was charged witli causing the death of Emily Hall, the girl whose remains elicited so niucli speculation by reniainiug nnburied so many weeks to test an undertaker's embalming fluid. Jt will be remembered that investigation proved her to be a respectable girl who was sent here trom England by one Rev. Bell, to shield him from exposure and disgrace, and carne to her death in a lying-in "hospital" of Detroit, Dr. Seaman being in charge of her case. It is thought that her case was only one of many that had met the same fate, and that it was time some one was punished forthe wicked and nefaiïous business.

The new womau should not forget to credit her predecessors with doiug some things very haudsomely. Iu the _ year 1840 the womeii of Boston held a fair for the Bunker Iiill monument, which netted $30,035, and Fanny Ellsler added $509 to the fund by illustrating the poetry of motion. The Orthograflo Union organized in New York lias a large number of members prominent in literature and college work, but why doesn't 'it spell orthografik with the proper final letter? The greatest humbug in the alphabet is the letter "c." The new society bas failed to grasp its business at the start. A Minnesota paper has made a calculation which shows that in 1882 it required32-t bushels of wheat to pay for a self-binding reaper, while the same reaper, or a better one, can be bought this year for 187 bushels. It does not appear, therefore, that the farmers have been hurt very much by the demonetization of silver.

This week, one of tlie largest religious gatherings that has ever been known in his country is being held at Boston. t is the annual convention of the Cbris-ian Endeavor Societies, comprising ver 50,000 delegates and representing a total ïnembership of 2,500,000.

The effect of the Chicago drainage anal on lake levéis is still under disuasión. One of tlie leading engineers n charge of the work assures the Secreary of War that the reduction of the ake level when the canal is taking its maximum of 10,000 cubic feet of water a econd wiïl never reach C inches, and nat the average reduction throughout ie year will not exceed Z% inches. o far as defiuite data bas been submit;ed, it appears that the Lakes will feed ie canal without a change of any conequence iu their levéis. A rabbit parliament is a new tbing under the sun. It lias been beid in Australia, and speut four days in considering proposed remedies for theoverproduction of rabbits in tbosfi colouies. New South Wales once offe red $125,000 for the best plan to keep down the rabbit pest, and though 2000 schemes were submitted the meek little animal has triumphed, and roams over 7,000,000 acres of abandoned land it bas conquered from the farmers. The parliament reached no conclusión cxcept to recommend strong fences, and to transfer the suppression of rabbits from the State to private landowners. Australia's experience with rabbits is at least au assurance that the world's meat supply is not likely to fail.
