A comparieon with the coudition last year, which is placed at 100, shows the present condition as followe: Ohio, 85; Tadiana, 80; Ilinofs, 90; Misaourt, 93; Kanaas, 91; Michigan, 96; Kentucky, 70; Tenneasee, 86.

JONH SHERMAN'> AMBITION, He Wants to Be a Milllonaire, Enjoy Life and Let Politics Alote, New, York £un, It is not generally known that Sen- ator John Sherman is tired of public life. He says that congrass has be- come stupid sud uninteresting to him, Ho has sucked the political orange dry. This view is reported to me by one of Mr. Shermau's frieu e » Washiugton papsr, who I am sure has no interest in misrepresenting him. It is further said of Mr. Sherman that his one great ambition now is to create s colossal fortune and take a g'rultlnn as monetary king In New ork financlal circles. He does not believe he can secure the nomloation for president at the hands of his party; neither does he be- liave his party will be successful in the next cannaes. So no one need be sur- prised to hear some day that John Sherman has resigned his seat in the senate in order to take a position at the head of some business corporation, Very few people know that Mr. Sher- man had an offer of this kind submit- ted to him lust January, and that for » tine he gave the (ffor grave cousid- eration. Last January the New York First Nattonal bank managers wrote to Mr. Snerman_to come over to New Yok, HMe is largely interested in this bank. The latter fs one of the heavy holders of the stock and bonds of the Mutual Unian Telegraph Co. Mr. Sherman went over to New York one Saturday, during the latter part of January, and spent the entire Sun. day followlng 1n going over the books of the opposition telegraph company, He was tendered the preridency of the new company, with a $26,000 a year, with the ael that $2,000,C00 would be immediately subscribed for the extension of the lincs, Mr- Sherman was invited to make Lis debut In the financlal world as the oaptain general in a haed to hand fivcht wfin Jay Gould. Mr Shermsn looked the situation carefal. ly over. He was pleased with thefinan- cial ¢condlition of the new company,but he did not ltke the outlook for the business future. It was not a good time for him to begin any kind of fight, und so, after several days of careful thought, Mr. Sherman de- clined. His declination made a com promise uecessary, us the princlpal subscribers to the bonds of the new compary became frightened about their investments when they eaw the new company locking horns with Jay Gould tora long tight.
