In spite of strikes and bad times this benevolerit (?) enterprise seems to be in pretty good shape. The Senate end of the Capitol building at Washington has been the scene of much vandalism of late. The closet On the basement floor and the barber shops have so far been the I -jjpiyy Tqruityre, ken pp apparently from pure malice. The police now fear that the valuableynotures and statues- will be attached, ahd claim that the six men to’finch watch are insufficient to the great building. This is probably a scheme to get an increased force of police. People conversant with the history, of the war, especially those old enough to clearly recollect the events of that momentous struggle, may possibly recall that it was believed at one time in 1864 that Washington was in imminent danger from the rebel forces under Gen. d-übal A. Early. Senator Daniel, of Virginia, in a recent public eulogy on the life and services of Gon. Early, has thrown some light on the matter by stating that the alarm was without any reaj foundation, because Early at that time had but 8,000 muskets, while Washington was defended by over '20,000 men and earthworks on which were mounted 700 seige guns. ....

pear £o*be almost unanimously of the opinion that business conditions tty:Qyghout |he- couptry show an encotttagtyig impirQvemcnt over the situation a year ago. The tide has clearly turned and it seems safe to predict that it will continue in augmented volume until the great panic will become but a nightmare of the past. It is to be earnestly hoped lhat such will prove to be the case, and it is equally desirable that returning prosperity shall be gradual anji not take on any of the features of a “boom." We want solid foundations, that we may build thereon a superstructure that Shall endure and not come tumbling about our earsdt the first touch of adversity.

The London Daily News, speaking of this matter, says: “‘lf the reports that the whites tortured colored women are true, Mr. Jewett may congratulate himself on his good fortune in being refused permission to inquire into the Armenian atrocities. When lie talked of Sassoun the Turk might have reported with Georgia and Alabama. Georgia appears to be true to its old creed—nothing |is too bad for colored people. One gleam <jf hope in the prospect is that these infamies no longer benefit by the silent acquiesencc of public opinion. It is not too much to say that the fate of American freedom is at stake in these atrocities, The wonder is that the Kurds do not memorialize President Cleveland about the slate of affairs In the South.”
