From Wall Street TODAY.

NEW YORK, Jan. II, IL a. m.-The stock
market was quiet at the opening this morning
and first prices were very steady, Atchison
being exceptional with gain of q per cent
over last nights figures. The trading was even
more than usual restricted to few stocks
Lackawanna, Reading, st. Paul. Lake Shore,
Erie, and Missouri Pacific doing about three
fourths of the business. A firm tone prevailed
but in the general list there was little dispo-
sition shown to advance until late in the hour
and the gains were for the smallest fractions
only. The weak stocks of yesterday, however,
were eryprominent for strength from the open

JUDGE TULEY's DECISION.

A st. Louis Socialistic Editor Says 1T
is Partly Right and Partly Wrong.
..Sr. LOUIS, Jan. 17.-Joseph Reifgraber, man.
ager of the Parole, local anarchistic organ,
said to q reporter yesterday.
What do think of Judge Tuley's decision?
I deem it partly right and partly wrong. l
hold that it is constitutional and right for citi-
Zens to assemble, to exercise free speech and
to set forth their principles SO long as they re-
main a peaceable body of men and do not in
terfere with the rights of others. When he
says that the police have no right to assume
beforehand that a meeting is going to
be illegal, I consider him a just judge.
But the injustice crops out when he refuses
to restrain the police, these self-appointed
is reasonable and incendiary. In the first
place, the Arbeiter-bund is a labor or trades
union. There is nothing in the name to sug-
gest socialism or anarchy. There are social
lists and anarchists in the organization,
1 have no doubt, and men of very radical
proclvities at that, but that does not necessari-
ly relegate the organization to the policeman's
blacklist, or commit the association, as a
whole, to the principles OF socialism.
Now, say, let these people meet, let them
disturb the public peace, and then prohibit
their meetings. The police have not the fore
sight nor the omniscient power to assume that
this organization will run counter to law"
But suppose the police have discovered
something that convinces them Of the necessity
of suppressing the meeting?"
'They have not done so, else they would have
been too glad to have furnished proofs. Judge
Tuley shows in this decision that he has some
conscience left; that he is not entirely the
chattel of the corruption fund that has
bought up the judiciary of Chicago.
As to the argument that this asso-
citation will advocate a system that
will overturn the existing wage system, we
have the same argument; if you prohibit our
meetings, why then not prohibit our meetings
in advocacy of free trade or for tariff.
Judge Tuley's decision reminds one of the
saying Wash, hut do not wet your hands.
The Arbeiter Bund advertised their meet
ings in the Chicago papers. 1t was a
public meeting. open to everybody, including
Inspector Bonfeld and the Pinkerton agency.
If it is a conspiracy. where are the proofs?"

THE INTERNAL REVENUE BILL.
How Mr.. Cowles' Action Has Embar-
raised the Democrats.

Representative Cowles expects his internal
revenue bin to be reported from the appropri-
ations committee and to pass both Houses.
There seems to be very good grounds for his
faith that such bill would 60 through the
House promptly If vote were permitted on it.
If required to vote directly upon the PROPOSE
ton, no member from the tobacco districts
could afford to vote against any propo-
sition to reduce or extinguish the tobacco
tax. Many of the democrats who would be
compelled so to vote, would, for party reasons,
be glad to avoid the question, but when put to
it they will have no choice. Several who OPP
posed sending Mr.. Cowles' bill to Mr.. Randalls
committee, would probably feel obliged to vote
for the bill reported. The passage of the bill
would doubtless prevent an extra session Of the
f1fty-frst Congress, and in other ways relieve
the republicans of embarrassment. It would be
very apt to delay tariff revision for q consider
able time.
FEELING AGAINST MIR. cowLEs.
The democratic members of the ways and
means committee and all the leading tariff re-
formers in the House are consequently deeply
offended at Mr.. Cowles' action in putting them
In this situation. They regard his action as an
offense against the good of the party and re-
Election upon the Speaker and the committee.
The feeling is so intense that it
Mr.. ,Cowles is regarded as grave
offender, and he is treated with decided cool
ness by many of his party. In defense of his
attitude he points out that he voted for the
Morrison bill and for the Mills bill, and has
always been with his party and fought for it.
In this instance he contends that he is making
no attack on the party or its leaders, but is
DOING WHAT HIS CONSTITUENTS DEMANDED
of him, to relieve them from tyranny that is
keeping them poor. In the campaign he says,
he defended the Mills bills before his people,
people must be relieved from the oppression
will all join with the party in the reduction of
the tariff duties. A failure to give these people
the relief they demanded, he says, would lose
North Carolina, West Virginia, Virginia and
portions of Georgia and Tennessee to the
democrats. The small farmers in these districts,
he, says suffer great loss and privation from
not being permitted to sell the product of their
land to whom they please how they have to
haul it many miles at great expense, and to put
it in the licensed warehouse, finally selling it
for what is given them under conditions greatly
to their disadvantage.
MR.. RANDALL EMBARRASSED.
1t is still uncertain just what Mr.. Randall's
committee will do in the matter. He is him
self much embarrassed by the situation. 1t is
believed that he will wait until the ways and
them and have been given a chance to con-
slider it. Then. if they report nothing, the bill
referred to the appropriations committee will

Young Men and the Churches.

From the Chautauquan.
One of the unpleasant features of religious
life is the lack of young men in the churches.
The evil is not a small one, and there are indi-
cations that it is growing larger; it has GER
tainly increased in the last thirty years. Can
the evil be removed or, at least, reduced2 We
are confident that some things can be done to
improve the situation. For one thing, the
distinct recognition of the fact that there are
too few young men in the church should tend
to better the record. Systematic efforts TO
win young men ought to be undertaken
all along the line. The church wants them
and must get them. Many ways to go about
the enlistment of such soldiers of the
cross will be found, some best fitted to one
and others to another locality or denomina-
ton. One of these is that young men will not
go very heartily into any enterprise when they
can only sit still, look on and listen. Young
men have to be enlisted as active workers.
Old men may be taken in as parlor-boarders,
but a young man must be set at work or he will
soon grow listless. Besides, young men can
best win young men, and it Is in such work
that the value of youthful members is always
highest. The principle has, however, another
important application. The oficiary of too
many churches has no young blood in it Give
the young brethren share in the manage
ment.

Gently erected in the space formed by the in
tersection of Pennsylvania avenue and ID
street, was uncovered to-day. Yesterday the
wrappings in which the figure of Franklin has

great-grandaughter of Franklin, unveiled the

without ceremony. This day was selected be-
cause it is the anniversary of the birth of

south side, directly under the base of the
statue, is the name of Franklin. Below is the

pie came to Shrub Oak for their mail from dis
tant points in Putnam county, two or three
