ration, not being able to agree on a

will probably be elected, although
Gen. Dow always was popular in

Chauncey M. Depew, who has al
ways such happy and pointed way
of putting things, thus describes the
American people: "You can take the
American people and divide them in
to four kinds-those who belong to
great organizations and go with them,
right or wrong; those who belong to
a particular organization that wants
to implant a particular notion and
would do it if it ruined the universe !;
those who are independent but whose
independence consists in disagreeing
with everybody, and those who are
mugwumps, whose distinguishing
characteristic is that they belong to
one party and vote with the other.

The attempt to gain the admission
of Utah as a state in the Union will
not succeed. And this not simply
because of pOlygamy, but because
the Mormons have evinced, in behalf
of their religion, a disposition to
evade, violate and make void the laws
of the United States. If they were
doing this in respectable cause, this
defiance of the laws should suffice to
keep them in territorial condition I'M
til they become honestly obedient
Their declaration that the state con-
stitution shall contain a clause pro-
hibiting polygamy, and shall not be
changed without the consent of con-
gress, is hardly worth considering,
for the constitution of the United
States does not permit congress to
NEEDLE with a state constitution, and
the state constitution may not give
congress Jurisdiction in that behalf.
A private letter from a well known

too high in price for one to buy and
work and get any better return on

TO the BEE. EE.l-SToCKs-There was hardly
enough business on the New York stock ex-
change to create the impression that there
was market, the sales being 27,3O0 shares
for two hours, the lightest ever known St.
Paul furnished $500 shares and Reading
4,SOO shares. Outside of these two stocks
nothing of consequence was noted. The big
traders left the market in disgust, declaring
it too stupid to pay attention to, and said that
those who depended upon living on the
daily fluctuations found decidedly scanty
picking. The pools that were SAID to be
working numerous specialties did nothing,
for there was no use trying to trade. Rate
cutting stories from the west continue numer-
GUS, the situation instead of improving is
getting worse ana the indications are that the
end is as far OF as ever. The Northwestern

Minneapolis and Duluth and the roads run

from the Missouri to Chicago for l216 cents,
and live stock from all Iowa points at S35 a

the rate cutting stories and no reduction the
roads can make causes any astonishment.

mated before the close. The general tone was
bearish and declines Of hCd& per cent were
recorded. The decrease in reserves Of the
New York banks was regarded as q bearish
argument, but the large increase in loans
shows that instead Of the money being locked
up in banks il is finding employment in vari-
Gus channels that will in the end probably re-
suit advantageously to the bulls. The gossip
is that st. Paul will lower its dividend to 4
per cent, and in some quarters IL is predicted
that IL will pass it entirely. The strength 1t
has shown Of late comes in a measure from
London, where prices are relatively higher
than in New York. Speculation with Chi
cago stock houses was never lighter. The
legitimate brokerage transactions do not
average over 500 to 600 shares q day, which
is hardly enough to pay the expenses Of those
