THE ANTI-SALOON MOVEMENT.-The
democratic and mugwump press. by
their emphatic insistance that the re-
cent anti-saloon Republican conference
at Chicago was an utter failure, and
that it will prove to be utterly destitute
of influence, unconsciously pay it the
highest possible tribute. Never was
the wish more conclusively and evidently
father to the thought. There were
some significant features of this confer
ence which it is worth while to note. 1t
was composed of upwards of 300 dele
gates, representing eighteen states and
one of the territories. These delegates
were all representative Republicans,
MANY of them of national reputation.
The conference was not the product of
any existing political machinery; the
prominent Republicans identified with
the preliminary arrangements had no
personal ends in view. They believed
that the time had come for the Repub-
lican party to declare against the evils
of the saloon, and to pledge itself IN
favor of such practical reforms as
should lead to its overthrow. The con-
ference was entirely free from a fanati-
cal spirit, and was composed of men for
whose political wisdom and integrity of
purpose the Republican party has large
respect, and the general adoption by the
Republican party Of the states and ma
ton of the platform presented may be
confidently expected.-Boston Traveller.

that there is any detection in the ranks

Scientists ale astonished at the re-

have rendered this year in some re-

British India 600 inches of rain have
fallen in the last twelve months, while

100000 square miles has had scarcely
one-eighth of an inch in over a year.
Sudden and startling changes in bar
ometic pressure and in temperature,

That the business interests of this
country have awakened from their
long sleep is fact beyond question.
The iron traffic is unusually brisk; the
trade in coal is so large, that prices
have been advanced the transactions
in dry goods are larger than for many
months; collections are prompt and
business men are hopeful. Less ap-
prehension of an extreme stringency
in the rates for money is now enter
tanned, although perhaps an unusually
large amount will be required to move
the crops. The wheat yield of this
country promises to be 40, OOO,OOO
bushels, and the corn crop, ,6OO,0OO,-
900 bushels; the latter showing de-
crease, compared with last year, OF
400, 100000 bushels.
The value of our exports of bread
stuffs in August was nearly double
that in the same month last year; the
cotton exports were slightly larger
than last year, and the shipments OF
petroleum were valued at S0OO,OOO
less than in August of last year, but
for the eight months ended August
31st the decrease was only $52O,OOO.
The most favorable feature of our
export trade is the marked increase IN
the shipments Of wheat.
The total net earnings of the lead
ing railroads of the country from jan
uary 1st to September list show an in
crease, compared with the same time
last year, of $13, 1895, 345, and Of this
gain S3,749, 245 was made in August.
Many of the railroad companies are
complaining of lack Of cars to draw
the freight. There is notable in
crease in the construction of railroads
in thi. country. Sixty thousand tons
of steel rails, it is stated, have been
bought in England for use IN the
United States, and an inquiry, it is
further averred, has been made for
$4,000 tons more. 1t is TO be re-
GREETED that our railroad companies
feel obliged to buy the rails in Eng
land, and it is hoped that the new
railroads which are being constructed
are opening up new fields for human
enterprise, rather than paralleling old
roads, and thus giving further counte-
nance to the pooling system, which is
one of the great evils Of the CONNER
c;al times, and which is, of course, a
direct outgrowth of the over-con-
struction of railways in this country.
Ore of the most hopeful features of
the business situation is the compare
tive absence of speculation. Stocks
have advanced in price, but this is be-
cause of the increasing earnings OF
railroads, and because there is no de-
termined effort to depress the market
by any large speculation. Since the
death of Charles F. Woerishofer, the
g bear" party has been practically
without a leader. Certainly no one
of equal ability and daring has yet
sought to reduce the price of our rail-
way securities the manipulation OF
the money market, noticeable at
times, with the view of affecting
stocks, has lasted but a short time.
and ultimately really helped the stock
market. Mr.. Philip D. Armour, Of
Chicago, is engaged in a large specu,
lation in pork, and some foreign
houses here have undertaken to ma
terially advance the price of coffee
but, as a rule, there is little or nc
speculation, and business interests are
all the stronger without it.-Fra'a1
