Morton was inaugurated governor of New York, Tuesday morning. Senator Cullom, of Ill, has gone Lowe to look after his re election to the United States senate. The leg islature me+ts January 9th. The time of congress is limited, but we would like to see the demo- crate get together and pass a satis- factory bill on the mouey question Six hundred men in the Edgar Thompson steel works, Braddock, Pennsylvania, all Slavs, are out on a strike, and the furnaces have been | closed. The Kansas City ‘Times suggests that a good New Year resolve would be to talk business as much as pos sible and hard times as little as pos-! sible. The Times seconds the motion. Senator Vest wants the senate to adopt a rule whereby in a reason able length of time a vote can be reached ‘The country is with the senator on this proposition August Webher of Kansas City. attempted suicide Friday by shoot- ing himself The bullet went into one of his lungs. He is still alive, but the doctors fear he cannot re cover as investigation shows that eternal hemorrhage bas taken place. On Christmas day the convicts in the penitentiary were given the free- dom of the yards and they had a gay time, all manner of games being played, except gambling. The War- den gave them a turkey dinner and it required 4,000 pounds to supply their wants. The remaining assets of the De- funct Citizens bank of Nevada, which failed in July, 1891, amuont- ing to $125,000 and consisting mostly of notes held against the bank directors and over drafts, were sold at auction in Nevada last week by the assignee and brought $500 The republican senators were anx ious for free sugar until a chance to vote on the proposition was given them by the democrats. When forced to show a hand they voted fo a man against the bill, and so did the populists. The republicans talk One way and vote another and the populists do likewise. The liabilities of the Citizens bank at Slater, which failed a short time Ago, are estimated to be $600,000. Dr. Jas. Field, president of the con- cern has fled. The condition of the Savings bank of the same town which also failed at the same time is almost as deplorable. A bank thief is no better than a sneak thief, and ihey both belong in the penitentiary. A terrible snow and wind storm visited New York Thursday of last »week. It is reported that much *damage was done by the storm. Chicago was also visited and it was almost impossible to get about. In short the storm seemed to haye been general throughout east and west. tm Kansas and Colorado trains were snow bound and for a couple of days travel was almost suspended. The legislature ef this state met at Jefferson City Tuesday. The kouse is republican and senate dem- ocratic. There is no need of rang \ing or dead locks for politcal pur- @oses and it is to be hope that both houses will dwell together in peace and harmony and legislation enacted will be for the good of the state in general. Sam'l C. Seely, the Shoe & Leath- er bank defaulter, of New York, who stole $400,000 of the bank money, plead guilty and was given eight years in the penitentiary. Eugene Debs, president of the American Railway Union, who insugurated:the great'Chitago etrike,-and who was in a measure responsible for the de struction of more than a million do! tars worth of property, and who de- fied the U. 8. courts, was given six months in jail, and the courts call thie justice. im eS j WEEKLY TIMES The Tariff i. | Kansas City Times, | Not until beniticent feature of the vew tariff law gone into operation Most of |the provisions went into effect at jonce, and the reduced taxes on coal the {duties on other raw materials be = sworn Pall Fores Jan.) to day has the most }and iron ore and removal of jcame a law.

It may be suid, therefore, that the new tariff law only goes into full force and effect to day. Everybody realizes that the partial operation of it has had a beneficial influence. The complete result will be correspond ingly advantageous. All that is nec-} essary now is for everybody to do his share toward wooing back good times, and they will come with such | a boom and bound that the people will wonder what dark influences kept the odious and oppressive rob ber system in force so long | Snow in Birmingham. | Birmingham, Ala, Dec 30.—The| severest snow storm ever in this section is prevailiug.
