There seems to be a lull in stock
speculations at the east. The move
ment has been of the widest and most
unreasonable magnitude since the hol-
id lays, many stocks selling at higher
prices than they commanded in the
inflated period when a gold dollar was
worth almost three times that Of pa
per currency. A special dispatch from
New York says, regarding this feeling,
that it is not unreasonable to estimate
that Wall street spectators are carry.
ing 100000 shares more Of stocks on
margins than they were carrying four
weeks ago. OF course it is only a
luatter of time as to the result Of such
a condition. The initiation of various
stocks, by watering and otherwise,
Within the past few months, has
thrown an immense quantity Of speeu-
lative shares upon the market, and
when a reVulsion sets in, if it does,
their weak foundations will doubtless
be found out. The present Quietude
may only be the calm before the i'm
pending storm, though it is not likely
that this section will be seriously
affected by any financial disturbances
among eastern capitalists and specula-
tors. Our local market is quiet, with
money in good supply, and 8 per cent
discount is the ruling figure for loans
ON prime mercantile paper.

The Nihilist Executions.

The Nihilists who were executed
Friday of last week in st. Petersberg,
for completely in the assassination of
the late Emperor of Russia, may
have been guilty, and it is probable
that the most of them were more or
less connected with the murderous
and brutal affair. But their guilt is
not proved by their own admissions
and confessions, since these were ex-
torted from them by the medieval
process of torture and terror. 1t is

bombing the flesh of his victims in
the intense electric flame, and pros
trating their nerve-centres by re-
peated galvanic shocks. until they
were willing to admit anything in
order to spare themselves further
agony. Confessions made under such
circumstances are worth nothing ;
and, under our civilized forms OF
criminal law, instead of convicting
anyone. the mere fact that torture
had been employed would secure the
accused's acquital. The worldwide
difference between American ideas OF
Justice and these which prevail in
Russia, is more strikingly illustrated
in the matter of the laws attitude
towards the alleged criminal than in
almost any other respect. The sys-
