Business Beginning to Improve.
For the first time since the panic and
consequent trade depression, both the
great mercantile agencies—~Dunn and
Bradstreet’s—report that business is
really better, and that the indications
everywhere are that the turn in the tide
has come.
Even in the iron trade, usually the
last to revive, there have been signs Of
improvement in higher prices and in-
creased demand, and in other lines of
trade the progress has been much more
marked.
Of course, the tariff bill will have an
upsetting influence until its actually
becomes a law.
The outlook for a gradual return to
normal conditions is now favorable,
and there. are powerful interests allied
for the purpose of hastening this result
as much as possible.
With active efforts and considerable
patience the return to better things can
be reasonably hoped for.

The Passing of Hornblower.
The rejection by the Senate of the
nomination of Mr. William B. Horn-
blower as an Associate Justice of the
Supreme Court has evoked a chorus of
hysteric shrieks from, the Mugwump
press and many groans from the Ad-
ministration edition. We are not sure
but that the Senate’s action is right
although its motives may be questioned.
Mr. Cleveland is a professed devotee
of ihe cause and principle of civil ser-
vice reform; “ascertained fitness” be-
ing, we believe, a phrase coined by the
present occupant of the White House.
Wnen, however, Mr. Cleveland has
made judicial nominations he has set
that wholesome doctrine aside and has
chosen men whose “fitness” was not
clearly “ascertained.” When the Chief
J usticeship was vacant. Mr. Cleveland,
striving after theatrical effect, passed
by the able and venerablezestephen J.
Field and placed in the vacant seat an
active attorney entirely destitute of ju-
dicial experience. The appointment of
L. C. Q. Lamar was a surprise to the
Mr. Lamar had won
great and almost imperishable laurels
as an orator, but his limited experience
before the courts and the mind of an
Oriental dreamer werehardly qualities
to become a member of a Court whose
whole ‘ country.
decisions surpass in importance the re-
script of a Caesar or the judgments of
England’s House of Lords. The ap-
pointment of Mr. Hornblower was
Clevelandish to the extreme. Mr.
Hornblower is probably an able man,
but novmore so than scores of his fel-
low members cf the New York Bar,
. To have chosen F. R. Condert, or some
. other Democrat whose reputation has
crossed Harlem River, or even to have
promoted Judge Lacombe would have
been highly commendable, but it would
have been devoid of novelty, therefore
the Hornblower comet appeared and—4
disappeared. A comparison between
the judicial appointments made-x. by
President Harrison and Mr. Cleveland
will, we think, show that Mr. Harrison
of Justice :Shiras, his appointments
were promotions. ’ . ,
That the Hornblower “incident” had‘
a family row back of it. is true, and
that Mr. Ho‘rnb‘lower’s merits were.
sometimes lost sight of is also true, but
still Mr. Cleveland had no right to
place in nomination fer soimportant
an office a man whose “ascertained fit-
ness” lay entirely in the future.

Downing Tom Read.
It did not involve any great intellect-_
no! effort or cost a cent of money, re-
marks the Washington Post, for the
young gentlemen who do head-line
work on the press to intrOduce the re-
ports of Monday’s debate in the House
Of Representatives with such exclama-
tions as “ Tom Reed was downed,” or
“Knocking out the Czar,” and so on,
but it musthave sadly misled a great
many busy people who depend on the
headings of newspaper articles to give
them a rational idea of the articles
themselves.
We observed, without surprise, of
course, and in a spirit of resignation
born of long experience, that the young
gentlemen in question “downed,”
“knocked out,” “pulverized” “squelch-
ed” and otherwise obliterated Tom
papers on Tuesday morning. The fact
is that we fully expected it and should
have been disappointed had the ca-
tastrophe been held back. Nothing could
be morenotoriously true than that
Tom Reed has been “downed” by the
head lines whenever he furnished any
Demccratic youngster with a pretext
for constructing them. A gentleman
on the other side has only to rise in his
place and defy the lightning or make
some original remark about the sov-
ereighpeople, or apostrophize the horny-
handed son of toil, or sing a song of
Sixpence, or do anything else that is
vague, noisy, mellifluous or proud, in
order to have Tom Reed “downed” in
display type and in at least three thou-
sand different attitudes next morning.
Anteeue himself was never hurled to
earth one-half so frequently as Mr.
Reed has been, nor, we imagine, did
that‘cheerful person rise with greater
regularity or more entire reinvigera-
tion.
Far be it from us, however, to Object
to a practice which gives a great and
good party such evident satisfaction at
no sort of cost to Mr. Reed. Now that
we have become accustomed to it, in-
deed, we rather look for it than other-
wise and should feel dissatisfied with-
out it. We expect to see Tom Reed
downed at least a hundred times dur-
ing the next few months and to find in-
exhaustible delight in the spectacle.

“ UNCLE JERRY."
A Couple of Stories About the Late Agri-
cultural Sccretary Rusk.
‘ On one occasion a chief of one of the
divisions in Secretary Rusk’s depart-
ment had got into trouble with a. news—
‘ aper man and had been soundly rate-:1
Jy him in the papers. Secretary Rusk
had seen the statement and he called
the man up and asked him what he was
going to do about it. The clerk replied
that he didn’t know what to do, and
said to the governor: “Suppose you
take the matter up and settle it.”
“No, sir,” replied Uncle Jerry, “I am
not such a. fool. It is your tail that is
under the gate and you’ve got to do
the squealing.”
A certain congressman called on Sec—
retary Rusk one day and tried to chaff
him. He said: “See here, Gov. Rusk,
you don‘t know me. I want you to un-
derstand that I come from the west,
and I’m a regular Jim Dandy of a.
feller.” “Yes, I suppose you are,” said
Uncle Jerry, as he arose to his feet in
order to tell the story better. “You
make me think of the sermon of the
minister who was discoursing on the
wonders of the Lord’s creation, and
said that he madevthe large as well as
the small things of the universe. Said
the preacher: ‘When God made the
mightyocean he made a little rivulet;
when he made the snow—capped 'moun-
tains he made a. hillock; when he made
that king of beasts, the elephant, he
made a flea, and when he made me,’ ”
here the governor drew himself up to
his full height and stretched out his
arms, “ ‘he made a. daisy.’ And I sup-
pose you think you are the daisy.”
ASTONISHED SAVAG ES.
Money in Exchange for Food Was a. Good
' Joke to the \Vlld Kaflrs.
The author of “Where Three Em—
pires Meet” took some Kafirs from
their desolate inland home in the
Himalayan gorges beyond the moun-
tain ranges to the more civilized south.
Like most savages, they looked with
stupid indifference at the. marvels
about them, and once only were they
excited by an incident «which opened
their eyes to what they considered a
most extraordinary and unnatural
state of things. .
“ They were descending a road when
one of them chanced to remark that he-
was hungry, and the English “sahib”
bought him some food at a. way side
shop. The ‘Kafir saw the money change
hands. '
“How is this?” he inquired, in sur-
prise. f‘Do you have to pay for food
in this country?” "
‘ ‘Certainly. ”
“What a. country!” cried the man, in
amazement. Then after ponderipg a.
while he continued, doubtfully: “Sup
pose a man had no money in this
country; he might starve!”
“It'is quite possible.”
The Kafir shook with uncontrollable
laughter. It was the best joke he had
ever heard. He then explained the ri-
diculous system to his companions, and
they roared in chorus. ,
_ Early Ideas About Hair.
All the ancient philosophers held
curious ideas respecting the growth,
functions, structure, etc., of the hair,
and had many superstitions founded
ion these old opinions. The early
writers on the make-up of the human
body almost invariably refer to the
hair as being an excrement fed on sub-
stances similar to itself. They ‘sup-
posed that it generated in the fuligi-
uousparts'of the blood; was exhaled by
the heat of the body, becoming firm
and fibrous on being exposed to the air,
just as the fluid of the spider web does.
In these days every idea respecting the
growth and character of hair is
changed. It is now agreed that every
hair properly and truly lives and re-
ceives its nutrirnent from the body.
True, they take upon themselves the
nature of parasitic plants; they grow as
vegetation does, yet each has, as it
were, a. distinct life and economy. That
they derive; their existence from the
juices Of the bodythere is no doubt,
but that food is not taken from the nu-
tritious juices, for we know that hair
. "will thrive even though the body starve
or be wasted by disease, or even after
. the animal life has ceased to exist in
‘the flesh or skin to which they are at-
tached- '

Carlisle Issues a Circular
. Under the Act of 1875. _‘
Bids to Be Rcccivcd' Until Feb. 1
for a. $50,000,000 Issue of 5 Per.
Cent. Gold Bonds on a. 3 Per
Cent. Basis, Running Ten Years.
WASHINGTON, Jan. Iii—Secretary Car-
iisle has just issued the following circu—
ar: - ‘
By virtue of authority contained in the
act entitled “An act to provide for the re-
sumption of specie payments,” approved
Jan, 14, 1875, the secretary of the treas-
uary hereby ofiers for public subscription
an issue Of bonds of the United States to
the amount of $50,000,000, in either regis-
tered or coupon form, in denominations
of $50 and upwards, redeemable in coin
at pleasure after' ten years from the _
date of their issue and bearing interest,
payable quarterly in coin, at the rate of
5 per cent. per annum. '
Preposals for the whole or any part of
these bonds will be received at the treas-
ury department, office of the secretary,
until 12 o’clock, noon, on the first day of
February, 1894. '
Proposals should state the amount. of, A
bonds desired, whether registered or coup-
on, and the premium which the subscriber
proposes to pay, the place where it is de-
sired that the bonds shall be delivered,
and the Office, whether that of the tree-a
urer of the United States or an assistant
treasurer of the United States, where it
will be most convenient for the subscriber
to deposit the amount of his subscription. '
Failure to specify the above particulars
may cause the proposal-to be rejected.
As soon as practicable, after the first
day of Feb. 1894, the allotment of bonds
will be made to the highest bidders there-
for, but no proposal will be considered at
a lower price than 117.223. which is the
equivalent of. a 3 per cent. bond at par,
and the right to reject any and all pro-
posals is hereby expressly reserved. In
case the bids entitled to allotment exceed
the bonds to be issued, they will be alloted
. pro rat-a.
Notices of the date Of delivery of the
bonds will be sent to the subscribers t/J
whom allotments are made as soon as
practicable, and within ten days from the
date of such notice subscription must be
paid in United States gold coin to the
treasurer or such assistant treasurer of
the United States as the subscriber has
designated, and if not so paid the proposal
may be rejected.
The bends will be dated Feb. 1, 1894,
and when payment. is made therefor, as
above, accrued interest on both principal
and premium from Feb. 1, 1894, to date of
payment, at the rate of interest realized
to the subscriber on his investment will
be added. ’
All proposals should be addressed to the
secretary of the treasury, \Vashington,
D. 0., and should be distinctly marked
“Proposals for subscriptions to 5 per cent.
bonds.” J. G. CARLISLE, Secretary.
Copies of the circular will be mailed to~
' day to all sub-treasuries. 2
The action of Secretary Carlisle in an-
nouncing a bond issue was not generally
known even in treasury circles until this
morning. Among the Officials who were
cognizant of his intention the Opinion
was expressed that he acted none to soon.
Treasury gold is rapidly on the decline.
The loss yesterday was $862,000, and since
the first of the month the gold balance
has declined from $80,891,000 to $70,034,915,
with the present indication that. it will
fall below $70,000,000 today. The bonds
are, of course, to be purchased with gold
only, so~the treasury gold will be built up
to the extent of the bond issue. This,
however, it is anticipated, niav only give
temporary relief, Gold may be paid into
the treasury for bonds one day and the
very next day the same gold may be
withdrawn by presenting legal tender
notes or coin certificates for redemption.
The effect of the bond issue, however,
will be to give the treasury more money,
whether gold or currency is immaterial,
and ease up government finances at least
for the present.
