The Preservation Of Niagara,

The influence Of nature is the health
sst influence which can affect mankind;
objects Of natural beauty and grandeur
lerve To elevate the understanding. to
inspire the Imagination, and to purity
he heart; within the circle Of their at
traction the citizens of all countries
meet. and thus the peace Of the world is
promoted 1t is the duty of the nation
possessing such objects to shield them
orever from degrading Influences and
o hold them for the worlds good.
The falls Of Niagara command o wider
interest than any other of the wonders
,f nature; every year two hundred
thousand people of all nations visit
;hem; they constitute the most
I'd American possession. They are be-
ng DESTROYED for purposes of private
gain. and in a few years will have suf-
ered to such an extent that restoration
will be no longer possible. These cir
,umstances furnish an imperative call
or action and Justify an appeal to the
continent of the country-considera-
ions of state pride and constitutional
3ropriety indicate that the action should
30 taken by the state of New York.
Ne are under distinct obligations to
,ur descendants and to mankind to pre-
Ierve Niagara and its influences; every
moral and patriotic sentiment demands
dat We fulfill them. Should we neg
oct to do so posterity will justly scorn
-, and every member of the decreasing
hrong Of visitors will carry back the
Ihameful information that America, the
and destined beyond all question to
- first In individual capacity and COM
nercial prosperity. is last in true pa

The following statement of William
J. Coughlin, of S~omerville, Mass, is SO
remarkable that we beg to ask for it
the attention of our readers. He says:
I'm the fall Of 1876 1 was taken with
a violent bleeding of the lungs, followed
by a sever cough. l soon began to
loso my appetite and flesh. l was SO
weak at one time that 1 could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 1 was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said 1 had a hole in
my left lung a big as a half dollar. I
expended over q hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. 1 was so far
gone at n time a report went around
that l was dead. 1 gave up hope, but
a friend told me of DIR. VIM. Halls
Balsam for the Lungs. 1 laughed at
my friends, thinking that my case was
incurable, but 1 got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise and grati6-
cation, l commenced to feel better.
Ny hope, once dead, began TO revive,
and to-day l feel in better spirits than
l have the past three years.
81 write this hoping you will publish
it, so that every n afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to take
DIR. VIM. Halls Balsam for the Lungs,
and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
ties, and can positively say that it has
done more good than all ther other
medicines 1 have taken since my sick
ness. Ny cough has almost entirely
disappeared, and 1 shall soon be able to
go to work." Sold by druggists.

SPECULATIVE ACTIVITY.

The past week was one of amazing specula-
tive activity in the Stock Exchange, of moder-
ate increase of speculation in other merchan-
disc than breadstuffs, and of considerable
increase In the volume of transactions for nc.
tual consumption or export. The exchanges
at New-York were $1,179, 800 1903, again the
largest ever recorded, though exceeding those
of the previous week by only $2O,316. Il
very rarely happens that the records of two
successive weeks are 80 nearly the same, but
the character of business represented was very
different. The returns of the first week In
January represented unprecedented annual
and quarterly payments on account of in
vestments, as well as the settlements for
business accounts of year of unprecedented
activity. The returns of the second week in
clude much smaller payments of that
nature. and probably represent smaller new
commercial transactions, for the weather
greatly embarrassed and delayed deliveries of
merchandise. But they certainly include
much larger payments on account OF stock
speculation. The sales of stocks last week, the
largest ever known we believe, amounted to

THE TRIBUNE's recent warning OF the dan-
ger of boiler explosions in business houses anu
other establishments where elevators ana other
machinery are run, has been reinforced IN a
striking manner. Yesterday the sidewalk In
front of a well-known Broadway store was
suddenly lifted into the air, ripping open
gap directly before the store fifteen ieet
wide. Great iron beams were flung into
the middle of the street, and there was
great shower of bricks with prodlglous
smashing of glass. There is no explanation
vet of the cause of the explosion, except per-
haps. that of carelessness on the part OF the
engineers in making their preparations 1or
leaving the previous night. Twenty-1our
hours before, such an explosion at one OF the
most crowded spots of Broadway must IN
evitably have caused considerable loss OF
hfe 1t is true that the explosion might have
been less likely to happen twenty-four hours
before, when the men were in charge, but the
possibility of it is, unhappily, clearly demon
strated. Many Of these boilers in business estab-
lishments are carelessly managed, and are not
properly inspected. This may not be true OF
this particular instance, but such boilers con-
stitute a danger to public safety, which needs
greater attention from the authorities.
