Special to the Globe.
New YORK, Feb. 17.-On the stock ex-
change to-day Lackawanua opened at last
nights close, out Immediately began to ad-
vance, with great number of people an xious
to buy. The shortage is said to be still i'm
mense and to have been increased by the
story current the other day that one of Dea-
con Whites clique had betrayed his assoc-
ates. In half an hour after the opening
the stock was selling at 994, full point
above the opening. and wagers were freely
offered that it would touch par before night.
With the exception of Western Union and
Union Pacific the
MARKET WAS VERY STRONG.
The leaders were Lackawanna, Northwest
ern and New York Central Tue action of
tue Gould stocks mentioned continues to
puzzle the street, and doubtless retards the
growth of confidence which, until they sold
off sharply last week, was in fair way Of
becoming pronounced factor in the market.
The course of the trunk line securities en-
courages the belief that the West Shore and
New York Central differences may be in
process Of adjustment. No other facts to
support this belief can, however, be learned,
and it is hardly likely that the public will be
informed of any decided progress in the
direction referred to until something definite
has been accomplished. The effect of the
late storm upon the western roads seems to
be ignored in the market, possibly
because the railroad earnings that have
come to hand are favorable, and 1t is known
that immense amounts of freight are press
ing for shipment just as soon as the roads
can handle it. The report that Mr.. Gould
had been a seller of stocks for short account
was not generally believed. 1t was stated
that Mr.. Jay Gould was practically out Of the
market and that there were no evidences of
his having given his specialties any support
It was believed By conservative brokers that
the rumors of a disagreement between Messrs.
Gould apd White was circulated for the pur-
pose of inducing short selling in the market.

roads were refusing to take any great amount
of stock. Only few old and favored Gus

that in limited way. Prices on cattle were
steady, and on hogs 10 10 cents higher.

Another Land once Explanation.

Washington inquiries here from Mime
sofa and Dakota have been ma lie frequent
ly OF late in relation to the recent ruling in
regard to committing homestead to pre-
emption where the entry man has already
had one pre-emption. The impression
seems TO be gaining circulation in the West
that the Comm issioner intended to dig up
all the old cases on record in his office
where q claimant had taken pre-emptions
twice, and taken one OF them away from
him. The commissioner said:
This is funny rumor for which there is
no foundation. The decision he recently
made applies to the future course of the Of
flee. He will not revise or in any way at
tempt to modify his predecessors' rulings
in such cases.. In shore, it is his disposition
to 60 easy on the small claimants who have
taken lands for homes and then pre-empted
more lands to sell and turn the proceeds
into stock and tools for their home farms.

present so much that the cattle compa-

Keep out of Debt,

If Americans could have rooted out
of them the ruinoug and pernicious
habit of living beyond their means,
one of the active agencies in producing
panics, business collapses and depres-
sion of trade would be removed. We
never know how general this habit is
till crash like that of 1878 comes on
the country. These crashes are sharp,
peremptory notices to pay up, ad-
dressed to every person in debt. The
demand has to be complied with, and
the bankruptcies and breakups in ev-
cry community that follows reveal
the large number of persons who have
been living onfavor. 1t is easy enough
to live beyond ones means when times
are prosperous. Credit is promptly
extended to all who can make a show
of property, and not few make use
OF credit to secure show of wealth,
mortgage property which they do not
really own. and the interest charge on
which swallows up large fraction of
their income. Debts are inexorable,
and sooner or later they must be paid,
either during life, by selling the unfort-
unate debtors mortgaged possessions
and leaving him bankrupt, or at his
death, by stripping his family of all
their imagined wealth and leaving
them destitute.
There is no class of persons who can
less afford to 60 into debt than farm
ers, and this because, when once in
debt, they rarely get out. In many
counties in Missouri, the. American
farmers are being gradually displaced
by Germans, and the process is so
complete as to have entirely trans
formed the community from what it
was twenty years ago. The explana-
tion is simple: Germans do not go in
debt nor live beyond their means, but
they buy the farms of the Americans
who do. Missouri farmers should re-
member the lesson of 1878, and profit
by it. That disasterous collapse,
which involved SO many persons in
ruin, was brought about by extrava-
gance, and the next one that comes
will be in q very large measure, the
product of the same cause. The only
safety, when it comes, will be in free
dom from mortgage-holders and
money-lenders. Financial revulsions,
panics, depressions and all that sort
of things have no effect upon the farm
er who is out of debt. They pass over
his unmortgaged roof without dis
turbing shingle.-Missouri Republi-
can.

It is said that the Lord Mayors
show in London was more popular
than ever this year, notwithstanding
it's barbaric character. The number
OF spectators was immense. Various
trades were represented in the pro-
cession, besides the usual medieval
display. The London correspondent
of the Liverpool Mercury remarks:
'rrhe delight OF our populace in this
bit OF color, the only piece OF pagean-
try still remaining to us, is manifestly
growing. All sneers against the pro-
cession fall fat. People who say that
it is nonsensical go to see it, and, il
they are pleased at nothing else, they
are pleased by the music and the
liveries. The new Lord Mayors
livery is very steep It is white and
blue with silver lace, and is as gor-
aeous q uniform as ever was produced

The Sna.
General News Condensed.



General Robert Toombs, surrounded by
his family and friends, died quietly and
painlessly, at his home in Washington, Ga,
where he was born in 1S1O.
His collegiate training, began at the Uni
versity OF Georgia, was completed at the
Union college, Schnectady, N. Y, where he
was graduated in 1928. When nineteen
years old he attended law course at the
University Of Virginia, and in 1880 was ad-
mitted to the bar, by special act OF his
native state, about a year before he at
tanned his majority. He opened an office
in his native county. In 1886 he took part
as, . captain in a campaign against the
Creek Indians, headed by Gen. Scott and
conducted in Alabama, in which he served
with distinction. Soon after his return
home he was elected to the Georgia
legislature. in which he continued from
1897 to 1910. He was reelected and took
an. active part in it's proceedings during
1912 and 1S43. The next year he was
elected to the United States congress. Mr..
Toombs was a member OF the house of rep
resentatives from his first election to 1853,
when he took his seat in the United States
senate. In 1859 he was reelected to this
body, and retired when Georgia seeded
from the Union. After having acted rs a
delegate to the Confederate congress held
at Montgomery, he became secretary OF
state in the cabinet OF Jefferson Davis, but
soon retired from his position to
assume a military command, with
the rank nj brigadier general.
He was eminent as lawyer and for SUI
perior attainments in general culture. Few
men have equaled him as a conversation
alist. His marked peculiarities OF disposi-
ton, notably his great pride and the
strength of his convictions, were associat-
ed with vast fund of Information, n rich
command of language and an impressive
eloquence. Both in private and public life
Robert Toombs had been striking and
commanding figure. During the last few
years OF his life Mr.. Toombs was nearly
blind aud alone in the world, his wife and
children being dead. A short time ago he
was recrived into the membership Of the
Methodist Episcopal Church South. His
estate is worth $3.50, 900.

A British Grumble.

An admiral ofthe fleet is the author
of the latest alarmist letter on the
British navy. He tells a woful story
of the condition the queens floating
fortresses, even asserting that a Brit
ish commander would not dare to
meet a French squadron on equal
terms. The boasted ocean greyhounds
he sneers at as mere floating hotels,
utterly unfit for the uses of war, and
he draws q dreadful picture of the
famine which he predicts would follow
hostilities with a maritime power. 1t
is, moreover, strongly limited that the
seamen ofthe navy are mere unframed
boys-a fact specially significant, he
holds, since the emerchant ships of Eng
this is no less true of those
of the United States-are at present
manned by unreliable foreigners.
