The absorbing topic of interest on Wall
street has been the probable result of a meet
ing of the trunk line Presidents at Commits
sloner tink's Office to-day, and although no
definite conclusions had been reached before
the close of the board, promises OF good re-
suits have been most abundant, and the street
generally believes that pool will be formed
or all The trunk lines, and a restoration of
rates to paying basis will be established at
once. Under the influence OF this belief the
market opened decidedly strongthIe morning,
the first prices being generally '1sC03A per
cent higher than they closed yesterday. while
New York Central was up * and Union
Pacific = per cent. The lowest prices of the
daY Were made soon after the opening, and
for the first hour the market was decidedly
active, with tendency toward buOyancy.
After II O'Clock, however, business fell off
very materially, and except in Lake Shore
and one or two other stocks trading wSs only
moderate during the afternoon. Prices were
steady for an hour IN the middle of the dav,
followed by general weaknes that con-
tinued most of the afternoon, the decline being
most prominent In grangers and Lake Shore.
The closing prices are little better in most
cases than the lowest quotations reached ia
the morning, but the net gains for the active
stocks compared with last evening amount to
only HtG1s per cent. st. Paul was thu ex-

END. 1t is an open secret among educators
that Mr.. Allen is an opponent to the system,
and it is known that book publishers look
upon him in the same light. The State has
a right to have its affairs administered by
the friends of the system Of government it
adopts. If Professor Allen is misiudged
in this regard, it is a most remarkable
mistake on the part of those who have
observed his course, and have drawn con-
illusions from premises that appear to be
undeniable.
There is no need that the enemies of the
industry of private book publishing or
book authorship should be the admin
istrators of the State school-book sys-
TEN, but it is essential that such
administration should be friendly to
that system, and willing to give it full,
free, fair and wholly untrammeled trial
It may be very difficult to some men to
assume the judicial attitude, but he who
caDnot do so should not attempt to occupy
position that demands it, but should
abandon it forthwith

" REcoRp-uN1oNn MELANGE.

The man nowadays who has not pistol
or a double-barreled shotgun in his hip
pocket, is out of fashion. On the other
hand, man who has, is a coward and 8
criminal.
The Pacific Rural Press, in speaking of
the success of The State Fair which has lust
closed, says: Not the least mark of supe-
riority this year we count the improved
moral tone of the event-the suppression of
nearly all forms of gambling producing an
effect most gratifying to all desirable classes
of citizens"
1t is fact beyond question that persons
who have had cholera are not at all proof
against its recurrence, but the same 'indi-
yldual may have it two or three times, or
more. How, then, can incubation with
the microbes, even if it produce actual
cholera in modified form, prove any pro-
tecuon against subsequently contracting
the disease?
tits to be greatly regretted that Professor
Z. V. Riley, Entomologist of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D. c..
has been compelled to give up his intended
visit TO this coast the present season. He
has taken much interest," in the study of the
various insect pests with which fruit
growers of California are contending, and
his visit here would be of value.
The prosecution Of the gambling cases in
Washington, our sister city across the
slickens-way has ended in farce, enacted
by the aid of the prosecuting witness.
Either he had no business to cause the ar
rests to be made, because there were no
known facts upon which to base them, or
else the party upon whom the testimony
was dependent was influenced, substantial
ly or otherwise, to stultify himself and the
facts, for the purpose of letting the defend
ants go scot free.
A dispatch gives account of a shooting af-
fair in Abingdon, Va, wherein Judge Ward,
editor of Arlington Examiner, and Com
monwealth Attorney for Washington
county, was shot through twice on Mon
day with buckshot, and seven times with
pistols, as side incident of the campaign
in that State. The dispatch says Ward
IS IN very critical condition, and it is
thought he cannot live The question of
whether or not he will live-udging from
all observation of the past-depends en-

even If the Coroner has to scrape up his
remains with a shovel. Darwin's theory
of survival of the fittestn is a three
story failure.
