The Speculative Mania.

IL Is 10 be assumed that the founda-
tion OF the present trouble in Wall street
is the great depreciation suffered In the
value OF stock during the past two years.
II has been general subject Of comment
that 30 great depreciation could have
taken place without producing any fail.
ures among those engaged In stock buy
ing and selling. The present experience
shows that these failures have simply
been postponed. The Marine bank fall
ure toppled over the weak houses, the
immediate pressure being applied
by the alarmed banks, which withdrew
the borrowing facilities the brokers
had been enjoying. 1t is said by the
sufferers that the banks are always ready
to assist In ballooning the market wheh
its tendency is that way, and In sinking
it in times of natural depression and
no doubt that is the fact. 1t would be
we'll IL bank officers we're wiser than
their generation, and alert at all times
in asiifforcihS the Observance OF prudent
rules in their business as we'll when
they are needed as when tney 20 ho'
seem to be required. But bank presi-
dents and directors are but ordinary
business men, aud naturally inclined to
relax rules in days of calm thai
they are disposed to vigorously
enforce in days Of storm. A
present there seems to be abundant
need for their caution. After the fail
ures that have taken place it is impossi
BILE to say who is sound. Cities outsid
Of New York are congratulating them
selves that they are free from these dis
asters. But they may be congrat
ulatlng themselves prematurely. The
same causes that lie at the root OF thu
New York failure prevail generally, ant
there is no doubt at all that there are a.
many unsound business houses outsid,
OF New York as In 1t ard as many weat
banks. We see no ground whatever fol
the belief that 1t is only New Yorl
banks and bankers who have suffered by
speculative temper that has prevailed
all over the country and has Its results
In shrunken fortunes wherever 1t has
prevailed.

Oil.

Oh is down with everything else but
there Is one satisfaction about It. 1t Is
slippery aud inGammable and uncOn.
trollable, but 1t Is substance OF value
aud Of value that can be estimated by
everyone. At sIxty.iye cents barrel it
is cheap, for it has never, we believe,
been lower than 6Hty cents. 1t is a
useful product which the world needs,
and which will always bring something
at any rate unless i. burns upor runs
away; contingencies against which you
can get an insurance though Of course
the insurance company may go up {; and
they say now that the Standard company
Is in a bad way,
But one point is that oil Is safer t.
touch than railroad stocks, whose value
you can never estimate, not being on the
inside. Any day the concern may stOE
paying dividends, IL 1t ever has paid
them or stop paying interest, if it has
ever INDUCED in that luxury; and the
stock turn ont to be worthless. In
fact, it can hardly be otherwise
with most of the railroads, since
they have only been built to make money
for their builders, and their stock repre-
sents nc value, and their bonds mighty
little. Stock values have fallen very
much nowadays, but there are plenty of
them selling very high Notwithstanding
since they are intrinscally worthless.

THE committee on divorce in the gen
eral conference of the NJ. E, church,
headed by the governor Of the common
wealth, has framed a very vigorous re
port, which presents the alarming in.
crease of divorce and the resulting evils
from laxity of the marital tie in very vivid
colOrs. The diversity of the laws gov
erning divorce in The different states Is
pointed out as fruitful source of mis- E
chief and scandal. The causes fox which
divorces may be deCreed, while differing
in number in the several states, are in
all shockingly numerous. In some there
Is no limit but the discretion Of the
Judge. The average number OF causes
In thirty, y,seven states Is nine, In seven
of the states there are ten causes, in three
twelve and in two fourteen. The high
four. In three, divorces may be granted
for any cause sufficient In the discretion
of the judge. Many Of the states, in
addition, permit partial divorces for
other causes. This is very decided
enlargement on the New Testament doc
trine and the Methods. committee feels
moved 10 recommend that its church
adopt the discipline of the Catholic
church, recognizing no divorce as lawful
10 the sight of God except for adultery,
with all that logically follows from such
aposIticn. Thisis radical step toward
astern reform, and the conference does
not seem ready to take 1t precipitately,
having referred the report to special
committee.
