Next in importance amony the events of the year is the emphatic deman for a change of commercial poliey asserted by the result of the November election. Another important feature in the financial movements of 1892 bax been the Iargences of our exporte of gold, which is all the more wig- nificant as following the preceding year of large like outtiow. So far as respects railroad in- vestments, 1892 has been an uneventful but on the whole very satisfactory year. ‘The crea- tions of newlines have been upon a strictly conservative basis, nor is there in any direction any symptom of forthcoming «peculative enter- prises. ‘The earnings have nt least kept up to the usual average rate of progress, #0 that divi- dends have been maintained.

The whole country is alive with women bachelors of art, bachelors of science, bachelors of philosophy, &c., and if the term bachelor can thus include the maid and matron, the very respectable and generic pronoun be can include woman too, At least an long as the pronoun he does to imprison and to bang a woman by, itis quite enough for ber to be elected to the United Stater fT RASS AES agencies in Berlin have been placed im IT WAS EDWARD MURPHY PROJECTED STREET RAILWAYS.

The Central Union Mission Takes Posse sion of the Old City Post Omce. Today the Central Union Mission bids fare- | well to its present quarters and takes possession of the old city post office building which the mission has recently purchased. For six Years the building on the south side of Pennsyl- vania avenue has been the scene of the import- ant work carried on by this organization. ‘The work has wonderfully expanded in that time and the managers were absolutely forced to finda new home. Of courre the miasion has no endowment or any funds lying nt interest, as every cent contributed is used in carr: ing on the work. It therefore seemed some- thing of un undertaking to agree to purchase @ property for 255.000. But the managers | reflected that it seemed almost as great an undertaking six yeara ago, when it was de- cided to lease the old building at an aunual rental of $1,800. But somehow the money has come in, not only sufficient to. pay the rent, but also to meet the added expense of twelve branches, any one of which is as large as the original mitsion. So the managers went into this new enterprise with a good deal more faith than money. So far they have been able to make alurger first payment then they ex- pected and they are contident that the citizens will support them in the future as they have in the past.
