WALL STREET IN a FURRY.

A DECLINE IN STOCKS OF ! TO 10 ga PEE

CENT-oNLY ONE SMALL FAILURE.
As was predicted after tho close of business on
Thursday by some Of the most persistent bears on
the ''street the decline in stocks continued yester
day and the excitement in the Stock Exchange was
unabated immediately after the opening Of business
the downward movement set in. All the brokers ap-
peared anxious to sell. and many of them seemed to
care little what prices they obtained for
their stocks SO long as they disposed OF
them. In consequence the market went
down with . rush. This decline brought to the sur.
face another batch of sales. as many brokers had
numerous orders from customers to sell soon as
stocks reached certain fgures These "stop ORDERS
seemed to increase the decline in prices until 1t
ranged from to nineteen and three-quarters per
cent. The decline was also helped along by tele.
grams to sell received by brokers from many coun-
try customers who had heard of panic and who de-
sired to get out Of the market before they were
swamped. The thoroughfare in tho neighborhood
of Wall street was almost impassable account Of

The Manitowoc pilot. [volume] (Manitowoc, Wis.) 1859-1932, 1879-01-23

The Democratic caucus decided to
give Chief Justice Ryan the compliment
tary vote for the senatorship. Judge
Ryan ought to have been sent to the
United States Senate thirty years ago.
He would have been an able member of
that body, and his infirmities of temper
would have done nobody harm there.
He would have made things exceedingly
uncomfortable for a good many senators
and a good many have deserved that
sort of slice of judgment day. Ryan is
a thoroughly able mana clear thinker,
a strong thinker, and man of positive
convictions. Likewise of unreasonable
prejudices and eccentricities--and prob
ably the worst temper in seven States
Sentinel.
Judge Ryan's irritable temper would
not have prevented his making one of the
ablest members of the United States
Senate. Even today with his infrmities
of body and a temper sharpened by cir
cumstances which made his life one of
warfare there are few men in the senate
with all the advantages of experience and
of felicitious and calm life, who would
make better record than would the dis.
tinguished jurist of Wisconsin. The
democratic Legislators have made NOM
nation which cannot but command the
respect of every one acquainted with
Judge Ryan's ability. He is man of
iron will, of wonderful force of character
and of pre-eminent ability. His election
is expected by nobody, though the state
could not select better man. Not SO
brilliant man as Matt. Carpenter, he
far excels him in profundity and prin-
ciple.

been heard of their whereabouts. Peo-
pie here are greatly puzzled as tc the OBJ
iect of taking O'Brien away 1t IS the
opinion of those acquainted with the cir
cumstances that Mr. O'Brien is in bad
hands, and there is no hesitancy in say
ing the object was TO secure p. 5.
O'Brien's signature, as that is the only
signature bv which the =, 600, COO COM
ing to him can ever be secured. The in
difference of the women DO not accord
with the actions of wife and daughter;
their sudden appearance and departure,
as well as that while here they did not
want to be known, is queer chapter IN
the history.
1t is alleged that Mr.. O'Brien has been
kidnapped by the women, and forced to
sign papers setting aside the will of his
brother, and that his part of the estate
will be used by the sharpers, who, no
doubt, had the whole thing mapped ont
before O'Brien ever dreamed of seeing
his dead wife.

DEATH OF SAM DAVIS.

The name of Sam Davis, the engineer
who braved death near Mud Creek to
save the lives of many passengers Is
spoken with reverence wherever the fame
of his gallant act reached. Every one
will sincerely regret to learn that the
gallant man died this week ct Chicago
indirectly through the wounds received
on that terrible morning, He was about
to settle in Minnesota and was on has
way to Chicago. On leaving Milwaukee
he complained of having caught cold.
died in Chicago of congestion of the
brain. At the time of the accident at
Mud Creek in which Davis was manned,
the severest of his wounds were about
his head, one eye was forced out and his
jaw was broken in two places. He was
pinned to the earth with au iron rod. His
recovery was miraculous. Sam DAVIS
was hero and every railroad man in the
northwest mourns his death as sincerely
as if he was relative of each. His
memory will be cherished in every land
known to the iron horse, and engineers
will think with reverence of the deeds
of their martyr brother.

THERE is an evident desire on the part
of the present legislature to remove GER
tain extravagances which cost the state a
considerable sum of money yearly. Sta
tionery, postage stamps and newspapers
are lavished upon the members greatly
in excess of their wants, and it is pro-
posed to cut down the supply and thus
save the state considerable sum while
causing no Inconvenience to the men,
bers. The spirit of economy is so strong
within some that they contemplate cut
ting off all those little perquisites and
allowing members nothing but their
salary. This as well rs repeating the
law authorizing the publication of the
laws in the newspapers of the state is
unwise. The sum of $50 for publishing
the laws of the state is by no means
gratuity. The papers earn every cent of
the money, and the laws are thus made
known to the people. As ignorance of
the law excuses no one for its violation.
it is plainly the duty of the state to
employ every means to acquaint the
people with the laws enacted 1t NAV
be that these laws are not SO generally
read as to compensate for their pubica.
ton. But ignorance of the law is not
chargeable TO the state.

The leading question of the day Is,
Who is John Hooper? John sent COM
munication to the n. Y. Herald and the
communication did not appear. Upon
this little common circumstance Hooper
seeks to acquire notoriety. His means
of giving publicity to the rejected COM
munication is much more expensive than
If the Herald had published it, as now
he issues it as circular. After reading
the circular the wonder is that the Her
aid refused to admit it to its columns
provided it had space to spare. Hooper
doesn't say anything in his communica
ton which would provoke enmity or
laughter. 1t is an inert piece of COM
position and why John should long to
see it among the billiows of controversy,
is matter of surprise. John is anxious
to Hooper up and some newspaper
should crafty him to the extent of a
quarter of a column. When man
must go to the iobbing department of a
newspaper in order to give his views to
the people. it is severe on the aspirant
for notoriety. This is what is the matter
with John.

IT is generally believed that the late
massacre of Indians at Camp Robinson
will result in an uprising of the Sioux.
A member of Gen. Crooks staff lately
visited the scene of the massacre IN order
to gather the facts and make report.
He states that no woman or child was
Intentionally harmed. Still the fact re-
mains that two thirds of those killed and
wounded were women and children. 1t
would seem that the exercise of care
would have prevented the destruction of
so large percentage of people who are
universally protected during a time OF
war; The officer states that the prison
was like den of rattlesnakes and that
white man who had shown his head
within the prison would be instantly
killed. How the officer arrives at this
conclusion, his report does not show.
Indeed he says that the sentinels guard
ing the Indians suspected no danger.
This part Of the report must have been
evolved from his sinner consciousness. +"
