The general situation his noticeably 1mn
proved daring the pw'j o'gat weeks. The
proprietors of abont fifty Iron manufic-
tnrirg oitabllshmoFjti that had been shut
down have nearly all resumed active operations
orations , notwithstanding the low prices
and narrow "margins. They were encouraged
couragod by iho outlook , which has
slowly Improved since they resumed. In

vr Trade In certain commodities Is already
feeling the cffact of the disturbances In
China and the Soudan. The predicted
advance In the price of teas ie beginning
to bo realized , though the advance thus
,
far Is slight compared to what It will ba.

Last week teas went up 10 per cent in
English markets on account of increased
. rates of taxation placed on the leaf by
the Chinese government and the market
in In this country has hardened perceptibly
with a slight gain ia price i. Flour

men hope to proht by the embargo placed
- on rico by French blockaders of Chinese
pott3 , for China is an importer rather
' han all czposter of the grain , and cut-
aj ting off the supply Is expected to open
market for American breadstnffs , pro-
vldod the Frenahmen do not develop 1m-
parthlly toward nil kinds of grain. The
Philadelphia Jieconl in reviewing the
situation says :
After a period of depression like that
through which business has been strug
ho gling tor the past two years , the disposi
is- tion to caution and cloao trimming Is apt
n- to outlast the conditions which brought
nnd It about and thus prolong the trouble.
This Is ono of the principal drawbacks o.Jy
trade recuperation to-day. Everybody
Is hoping for bettor times. The majori
ma ty of mechanics profess to believe that
lor : the wave oE liquidation has spent its force
and that the limit of trade restriction
and declining valuss has boon reached.
sly d.at
Yet there Is continued complaint
mt of hesitancy and caution in lo
ed movement ) , and the practical in
of expressed confidence and hopefulness
is confined to the fow. Throughout the
ramiflca'ions of business it wonld seem as
he If people were waiting for something tom
vo turn up to forcibly withdraw them
ed from the contemplation of pait reverses
and the vague fear of more to follow.
A condition precedent of bettor busi
ness is the wider recognition of the fact ,
all that the material Interests of the country
in are on a more eolid basis than they
, were a year ago , and that the point
where recuperation should begin hai
in boon reached. Low prices , that hare
lesjoned profits And made buslneojat the
moment unsatisfactory , are a guarantee
of greater safety to investor ? . There are
fewer disquieting influences at work.
Congress bat adjourned , and thera k.'S
therefore , no possibility of disturbing
legislation for many months. The need
of the hour Is applied confidence ,
not a knowledge of what the
next crop of cjrn or wheat or cotton
Ir will.amount to , or what congress m y or
- may not do wllh regard to the tarlft erIC
the silver question when it naln assem
bles. If people generally will glvo prac
tical exemplification to the sentiment ICof
- hopefulness that Is springing up In many
quarters , and that Is amply warranted by
existing trade conditions and probabili
ties , the realization of the hope for better
of times will not bo long deferred.

AN UNCONSTITUTIONAL ACT ,
Governor DAWO has vetoed sevora
'bills ' for various reasons , bui ho did no
hoaitsto to approve the bill creating addi
tional district judges , although It is clear
ly unconstitutional , a fact no doubt In
tentionally ignored by his excellency. It
is provided in the constitution , siciion
II of J article YE that-cn and after the
year 1880 , and not oftener than onoo in
four years two thirds of the members of
each house of the legislature may In
crease the number ' of district judges
and judicial districts of the
stats. Section X of the same article
provides that iu each district shall bo
elected one judge only. The constitu
tion has been violated by the legislature
in tint it has oftanor thin once in four
yeais increased the number of judges
without increasing the number of dis
tricts. The Plattsmouth Journal charges
that the bill was carried through for the
express purpose of makia ? ' * o soft place
for Captain Mitchell , of Nebraska City ,
B. tfc M. attorney , republican striker >
and henchman for John M. Thura
ton , of the Union Pacific rail-
wcy company. " This explains
18r
the readiness with which the governor >
permitted the bill to become a law , and
sure enongh ho appointed Capt. Mitchell
to the now judgoshlp for the districts presided
oI.
sided ever by Judges Broady and Pound.
I.ro
The pretense that these two judges were
-
unable to transact their business with
°
that promptness and dispatch which the
public good requires , is shown by the
10a
Journal to bo utterly without fonnda-
, tion. It says that In the district com-
13posed of Cass , Otoo and Lancaster counties
- nat
ties iho business of the coorb Is somewhat
- behind , but not so "much | SD as to
- require iho services of another ; o
and tbat there is nothing to 'prevent the
dispatch of all the business in Casi county
except the disinclination of Judge Pound
to make the terms longer than three
weeks. The Journal farther saye :
Daring the year 1884 Casa county has
had less than seven weeks' court alto
. gether. Otoo county hn < i not exceeded
that amount , and Lancaster county has
not had to exceed fourteen weeks , thus
leaving twenty-four weeks of the ar
comparatively unoccupied. Of e
some of the tlmo is taken up by the con
, sideration of cases held over for dccicion
but wa venture to say that not four
weeks in all are thus consumed , leaving
twenty weeks for leisure and holiday. If
one-h lf of this tlmo wore devoted ton
holding sessions of court , the accumu
lated business could bo disposed of nIn
a lees than u year. Wo are told the tame

PHILADELPHIA has taken a new departure

ure which promises to add much to the
heml
efficiency of the public Bjhool educational
course. In the schools attended by ho
girls of that.city two hours in each ok
are devoted to instructions in Bowing

by trial that the schools which are in
structed in this branch of industry lead

intellectual studio ? . Two honra ( a

ful an employment , and if the
system is found to work so well
In Philadelphia , there is not
much doubt but It will soon bo adopted
elsewhere. It would seem that for young
girls to bo taught sowing is only of bss
Importance than the benefit they derive
from books. The Onuha boord of edu
cation , which contemplates the introduc
tion of ( manual training In our schools
would do well to take under m
the matter of making sawing ono of ho
branches in the industrial department.

It In an eaiy thing to arrange a conrsj of
manual training for boys , but it is much
sha

AFTER T WEN Y-TWO/1TE AIIS.
A Springfield 1'oltceiimn's Sudden
's Return to.'HIs Former Home.
A dispatch from Springfield , Mies.
says : William Ballou , a former police
man , left this city nearly twenty-two
years ago , and unexpectedly raturned re
cently to the bosom of his family. Many
ol the oldest citizens remember Mr. JJal-
lou as a policeman , who with a party of
Mastashtijetta men , left the city for the
gold fields of Idaho. Mr. Ballon lett a
, wife and two sons when ho went away.
For abont three years Mrs. Ballou con
tinued to hear from her husband ; but
after his letters ceased , and it was sup
posed ho was dead. In coursa of time
Mrs Ballon secured a di
a vorce ; thn small property which
her husband had loft her passed into her
hands , the two sons wont to work , and
all went oa as befora. Bat suddenly ,
and without any warning , the wanderer
appeared in thU city , the posjessor , it is
said , of a largo fortune , acquired as a
stock raiser , miner , contractor , and busi
ness man. He explained to his wife that
his lost let'orj had never baen answered ,
and rumor had reached him that she had
married again. A fn'so report of hit
doilli was als3 prlntad stivers ! years ago
in ono of the Misiouri papjrj , and copied
, in this city. Mr. Ballou remained in
toun only a few days , returning lo Memphis -
phis , where ho saya ho ia to settle up his
buaineis and return to Springfield for his
future home Ho explains that ho had
many upa and downs of fortune , but says
that his family shall never again want.
MISS LILLIAN SMITH , i' " J
Proposition to Match Her Against Ir ,
Carver Her Record ,
Breeder and Sportsman. ,
Our llltlo hdy rifle champion , as wo
prefer to call her for old-tlmo glories , for
eho has grown very much during tha last
year , and is really no longer "Llttlo
Lily , " was at the ranges on Sunday
during the match and gave a specimen of
her skill with her Ballaro gallery rifle.
She shot at 100 yards , at the 200 yard
target , reduced proportionately In size ,
and In the target before us we find seven
bull's-eyea and three fours , or a to til , 47
ont of a passible 50. Take her all in all ,
she li certainly , as claimed for her , the
champion fancy rifle shooter of the age.
There'Is some tak * of getting up A match
between her and.Dr. Carver , t ? repeat
his late , very wonderful , , feat at Boston.
She ii confident herselfihatihocsnBland
the fatigue , because aho cm shoot'so
much quicker than Carver , and many
of her friends agree with her In
ibis opinion. The idea" it a good one ,
both for the honor'to our state and the
money it Involves. The gate and other
receipts certainly ought to be good for
$20,000 , If not $30,000 , for such a mat oh
would certainly never be seen again In
the world. Lot our different rifle clubs
tak the matter Into consideration and
BOO what can bo done. The coats of the
arrangement * would certainly be trifltnp. ,
California riflemen ought to support tholr
girl champion , nd , aa no one in the easter
or elcewhero wili accept her long-atanding
challenge of $1,000 , aeo if a match can
not ba gotten up on the basis soggoited.
It is not only at short range this prod'gr '
with the rifla is good. She commenced
shooting when only 8 years old , on her
fathei'i Miioh In th nan Joaquln valley ,
striving to keep the equlrrols off the
wheat. She soon became very efficient ,
and now , at tbo ajo cf 1-i , no squirrel
dare show his head to her at 200 yards.
Her marvellous qnickneu and accusacy
la fancy exhibitions are too M-ell known i
.broughont ths ststo ta require ft word

tfow let us see if lomothing cinnot bo
done to give more lusting honor to her
and the aUto that claims hor.

1'ittiburg Chronicle.
Ono of the liveliest recollections I have
'tif the senator from Delaware and it is
a homely ono tnlccs mo back to the fall
of 1880 , and the Mlddlotown agricultural
fair. It was the last day cf the trotting
meeting. There was a hi ; crowd , and
republicans and democrats hobnobbed to
gether in the friendliest kind of way.
Senator Bayard was there with a hotheaded -
headed Dik Harrington , whoso death a
month ago provoked general regret
throughout the the state ; the Saulsbnrya
and the rank and file of Delaware's po
litical lights. The sanator had a sea's In
the judges' box. Among the horacs on-
tcrad for the first rnco was n big raw-
louod anlmnl , with long oars nnd an ab
normal development of leg-length. His
owner was a Snstox man , and had
dubbed the rack"Tom Bayard. " Thosona-
tor took an immediate interest in that
horse. Ho cocmod to bo proud of his
scrawny namesake. When his equally
riw-bonod rider drew him up for the
start the senator leaned over the bjlas-
trade , and nodded to lha jockey , told him
to "let him out for aU he's worth , " as
"Tom" was the horao ho waa goinc to bet
his money on. The old raok got ofi with
a clean start , winning the throe heats
with nn ease that provoked the admira
tion of the crowd. The senator waa de
lighted. "Bravol" ho cried , clapping
his hands like a schoolboy. And then
ho sat down and lauqhcd , while the rawboned -
boned iockey hurried his deceptive bob
under a pair of blankets. "Why , " tnld
the senator , "I couldn't have fait more
Interested If it had boon n prcsidontul
race. It seemed as though my on tire
future depended on the succesi or failure
of that bobtalled mg. "
Dim Manning's Rooster.
The live roosters carried In the Inau
gural procession , Wednesday , mmt have
boon an odious sight to Daniel Manning.
Good democrat aa ho Is , ho has a horror
for rooslora. Thla Ia why : In 1877 Mr.
Mannlng'a paper , the Albany Argus , had
for managing editor a renegade repub
lican named Hutchlns. The election In
New Hampshire that year was closer than
nanal , but according to custom the repub
licans carried the atato. By tame en
tirely unwarranted contortion of figures
Hutchlns claimed a democratic victory ,
- and by his direction the Argna appeared
the next day with a rooster , presumably
crowing victory , though telogranu in the
sarao column showed a republican tri
umph beyond a cavil. Mercilessly did
the press of the country ridicule the
Argus for weeks following. Mr. Man
ning was mad , and kept on growing mad
der nnd madder every day. Ho ordered
every cut cf a chanticleer In the Argus
office locked up where mother dust might
corrupt , but over zealous managing ed
itors could not break through and s'eal.
Mr. Manning has never tiaco admired
roosters , democratic or otherwise.
