Dry goods have been aelive, especially in prints, as buj'ers have availed tbtmiselves of prices prevailing before tha advance, which will go into effect this week.

Pig iron has been cjuitt, t.vjfijr in amill for ioiaisliat' and the market has continued Provisions have bsea fairly with some fluctuations and priues lower at the closa than the highest points of the wetk.

Whisky firm and fairly active. Money bus accumulated steadilv, and altogether, the borrowing demand has been light. While rates have been easy there has been no change from per cent, for discounts, and 2j per cent, on call and percent, on time for collateral loans. The market for New York exchange has been firm because of email offeriags. and the moderate sales between banks have been mainly at par.

But there la another reason tint this Waring endowin ent the more mtable. There are two distinct aides to he discussion of the municipal question nthla country; one of them Is the iheorctlcal bide, the other the practical ilde. One of tbe explanations to be why, after quite a number of reara of discussion of municipal inat- the solution seems to be still BO fttr iff, lies in what appears to be the fact bat there has been too much theory and toj little of the practical in these Colonel Waring stood distinctly for practical side of the question. H-' dil not slop with theories.

If they did not work well in practica.he Jhrew the henries away. Nor did he think that everything could be accomplished at once. He believed that clean streets or instance were an important patt of good city government. He went ahead and gave Naw York such streets as it never had before nor since. Hi would have done the sirne and more 'or Havana had he lived.

E.O. McKinney Looking After Safe Works Matters POLITICS AND THE PEOPLE. Whether Mr. Overpeck is displeasing 'or Mr. Beal is dlspless- injf to Mr.

Schwab, makes no difference in the world to na, or lo the taxpayers of Butler county. But the method and moral of Overpeck's dismissal dots What ever may have been the immediate fre it the. kernel in the nnt was beer. There ia nothing in Butler county democratic politics that this interminable brewery light does not penetrate and corrupt. It has gangrened the whole system of loeatjolitics into a loathsome rasas of corruption into which decent and in- pendent men can hardly be Induced to stick their hands.

Affairs have come to such a pass that a man in politics. in this county must be either Schwab or Mason. If be is not, he can't ba in politics ten minutes at a time. Intolerable aa this situation hss become there is no prospect of its end There'is but one method of crushing this accurstd hydra, and sooner or later the whole people must unite upon it. Until the eleniint of decency iaBatler connty'a citizenship breaks loose from the bonds both factions, and elects to the offices of the people, clean men, jpho are of the people, public life in this community will remain a mass of fttid, loathsome political corruption taxes sill be high, but the treasnry will be empty: streets will reek with sewage but they will not be cleaned; cuonin will eit in official chairs but honesty aud intelligence will stand aloof; tbo politician and his crew will fatten and the people will grow lean from continual mulcting; vice will spread aud virtue all this the ptople PERMIT it to be so.

us begin the campaign NOW. While Schwah and Mason tear at each others throats, and while "gerrymanders" and "gerrymKodered" are still in the throes of bitterness, let the people lake a hiud Joseph J. sncuesssrin the Board of Control should be a republican, a man of char ictur and ability, who is loo big to be dragged into this brew era cesspool, in which local politics is floundering.

The Enquirer's New York correspondent says: Colonel Robert C.

Me- vinney, of lUmi.lton, Is in New York to consult with associates on a committee to arrange matters in connection with the greatly troubled financially Herring-Hall-Marvin Safe company. Colonel McKinney discovered upon arrival hero that his fellow committeemen were grip victims, and be has been lompelled to wait over for the clouds to roll by. And they have rollsd, for tbe weather has turned colil and dry, after more than an abundance of rain and sleet, and grip victims are those mostly benefited ay the change. Colonel McKinney Is a great believer in the future of the safe combine, the business of which he and his friends both in Cincinnati and tbe iast are endeavoring to straighten out. While awaiting the convalescence of his assc ci ites he is putting in the time listening to tales poured into his ear by his partner, olrael Alexander Gordon, who knows Europe from one end to the othar and who recently returned from abroad alter an experience profitable not only from a financial standpoint, but profitable in every other way.

BY THE WAY Concerning a topic that in of cririona ntorest to almost everything, in Ohio at leant, the Commercial- Tribune says There will be a surprise at the statement made that the estate of Calvin S. Brico is less than $1,000,000, and fnr this reason He could not have lived hn the earnings from a fortune of this si7e, at least in the style he displayed during the latter years of his life.

But it may be, after all, that he WBH a big money maker who lived np to his om-t. There are eases, of that kind, cases where a man, by native shrewd neea and broad intelligince, earns largely from year to year without a big invested capital behind him. Mr. Brice may have been a man ot that rlara At any rate, those who knew him naver took him to be an Astor or Vanderbilt. They knew that he was engaged in big enterprises, generally sue ceaefnl, and that he had a large iucom' No doubt he was engage! in a scheme when death to 3k him, which, had been spared, would have made him a millionaira several times over.

Still, he left enough. An estate of $1,000,000, to say nothing of heavy life insurance, will make tbe ones left behind comfortable all their days and unable them to enj iy some of the luxuries he showered upon them during his prosperous days.

WHAT GOOD WOULD IT DO the opponents of ratification attempted to picture the relations that won'd exist between our Pelves and the people of the Philippine IslaLds if the senate should reject the Spanish treat) 1 The rtspection of the treaty doea not restore Spanish sovereignty.

It does not rid us of tbe Philippines nor of our responsibilities therein. We should still hold the islands by a double conquest and under the inchoate dispositions of the protocol.The main argument of opponents of the treaty, however, ie that it onght to 1)9 defeated in order to put an end to the policy of expansion. This is a delusion. The rejection of the treaty would not end our responsibilities in the Philippines, and it wonld iuimeasareably augment the difficulties of our situation. REFORM THE CONSULAR SERVICE.

The Filipinos are of right entitled to a precise knowledge of their status under the new rnlership of their Islands, to aa definition of the share of government which they are to possess: but until we have ceased treating with Spain and come to treat with them, knowledge mast be withheld, for the all sufficing reason that not the president himself yet has it to impart.
