storisl legislatures.
The philsdelphia Times refers to the So
duc,iye speculative enterprises which obtain
in Eogland now, as follows:
Pnolish investors who have let their funds
,;s fsilow in safe if small profits have been
h;tten 6y the tarantula of the new prosperity
,hst rules the markets of the world. A
copy of an English newspaper to-day re-
minds the reader Of the scenes and times of
the South Sea exploits. Page after page of
Tho liberal columns of the society, religious,
mercantile and trade journals are filled with
such lists of seductive speculative enterprises
as 10 make the reader instnctively feel for
his nurse 10 open the door to such bewilder
inc chances. Shares are offered in every
conceivable form of company, from date
coffee to Terra del Fuegsn diamonds, and
The extraordinary part Of the craze ia that
these companies are bolstered by some of
the most trusted names in British business
and finance. Time was when America was
roipted at as the paradise of these specula-
live furores, but stock gambling on such a
scale never was known here. In England
when the mania falls on the people it swirls
in all ranks and conditions of life, from the
country psrson to the court lackey, from
the bank clerk TO great ambassadors. Of
course all realize that a crash must come,
but every investor hopes to double his
money before the bottom falls out. The
wealth of England can best be judged from
this pactolsam stream: of countless millions
flowing from private boards into public
hands for the use of reckless spectators,
who, when the proper moment comes, shut
down the trap and poke. the spoil.
IaThe New York Evening Express calls
attention to the fact that the Virginia read
iustcrs, in their convention recently, neg
lected to say aught Of reputation, just the
subject the eyes of the public looked for.
The Express says:
The Mahone convention at Richmond last
fill
thing in particular about sealing down the
state debt. 1t concealed its animus and
intent behind CONGRATULATIONS which look
comparatively innocent. Certainly the
phraseology employed would not convey to
stranger the idea and the meaning and
object of the movement represented in the
meeting, in which seven hundred and twenty
ballots we're cast, was reputation. But that
word expresses the whole Of it. The I'M
bounded enthusiasm with which Malone
was received, and the servle obedience
Of the whole mass to every expression of his
will and wish, showed that it was bis con-
vention. All the reports agree that he con-
troled It's every act. Malone is simply the
very embodiment of reputation. To his
advocacy of that measure he owes his present
official position and his public notoriety. 1t
was on that issue that he climbed up into
public notice. And his most active coadju.
tors are repudia!ionists, pure and simple.
REIMBURSEMENT is merely less odious term
for reputation. The readjusters do not
propose to ask the creditors of the state to
enter into negotiations for on arrangement of
their claims which shall be mutually satis-
factory; they propose to sponge out 40 per
cent. of the claims by arbitrary act, and that
cancellation being effected, there is nothing
to hinder tho wiping out of oil that remains.
The New York Tribune says Of the affair al
Albany:
So long as the deadlock lasts at Albany
there will be alterations of hope and des'
pondency among the little band who follow
the fortunes and .misfortunts of exsSena
tor ConkliDg. Just now they assume to be
especially happy and confident. Mr.. Plat
assured some people on Sunday that tive
shall either be elected, or two democrats
Other politicians, IS near as he is to the
deep councils of the primate and withou,
his personal interest in the matter, now say
that the deadlock Is sure to last till ad-
lournment, and then the, state must: choose
between Conkling and democratic senate
The following remarks of the Lesvenworth
Times, although of local nature, arc ap-
propriate 10 other cities and towns that are
not overly clean:
While there has yet been no positive
knowledge gained regarding malarlal poison,
Notwithstanding the many theories regard.

frequent attention 10 the state of some Of the
alleys in this city, which, If not attended to
before the warm weather comes on, will
surely breed sickness. Tho temperature al
