AN ENCOURAGING OUTLOOK.
General Trade is In n sound Condition md
Money II Easy.

Money IL Easy.
ESPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE DIsPATcH.I
NEW YORK, April 6.-Henry Clews & Co.
will say tomorrow: "The present outlook,
financially considered, is more encouraging.
April settlements were passed with but slight
disturbance, the less active state of trade and
speculation counteractIng all tendency toward
close money. From now on the money market
is likely TO show increasing ease, as interior
demands are diminishing. the prospects of
gold exports are vanishing and bank reserves
are likely to continue rising for some time to
come. With easier money here and in London
the effect cannot but be stimulating upon
stocks
For months past Stock Exchange securities
have refused to reflect the general improve
ment shown everywhere else, chiefly because
capital found more profitable employment in
trade. The great expansion of commerce and
industry diverted money from railroad stocks
into other enterprises. and this in spite of the
extraordinary prosperity of railroads. Busi-
ness men are altogether too much occupied,
mentally and financally.to to think of Wall street;
and the result has been stagnation and de-
preston at a time when the country was really
making phenomenal progress. A change has
taken place. Business is growing quieter.
After the rush of the past season halt has set
in; and it is quite evident in some branches of
trade that period of rest is necessary. unless
we are to invite the evils of general overpro-
duction. In some departments the effects of
excess are already being felt The woolen
trade is suffering from extreme depression, the
END of which is perhaps not vet seen. The coal
trade is also struggling with overproduction,
the mild winter having greatly aggravated the
troubles in both of these branches of industry;
a weak tone is also observable in the iron trade.
Still these are really the darkest spots in the
whole industrial situation, and there are
abundant influences to counteract them, so far
as the stock market s concerned.
Trade in general is in sound condition. and
there are no serious evidences of uverproduc-
tion. Now that funds are in less demand for
mercantile purposes, they will drift back to
Wall street. The average merchant will have
less employment for his balances and will be
obliged to invest them in securities which
present low prices will enable him to do with
advantage. In short, easy money is the key
note of the stock market; and high raIes of in
terest having held the advance in check during
the winter months, prices are now more likely
to respond to the removal of such Draw
back"

A Reservoir Site Boomer.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
l see in THE DISPATCH that Mr.. Carnegie
expresses himself that the library is intended
for the masses of the people, and that it should
be in locality where 1t could be reached by
the many, not the few. He makes only two
objections to the reservoir site. Now both can
be removed (although cannot speak authori-
tatively). But everyone knows that the officers
of the Pennsylvania Railroad and Pennsyl-
vania Company would only be too glad to CO.
operate with the city. Is their employees who
would be benefited are numbered by the thou
sand. In one building alone, corner Tenth and
Penn, there are upwards of 800 clerks. The
Baltimore and Ohio, Westinghouse. postofice.
Court House, high school, also furnish their
quota. East Liberty is all night for branch. or
stock yards, or mounted police. Let the commit
tee call upon the officers of the railroad and be-
lieve that they will remove every objection
without an ordinance. If Mr.. Carnegie has
given Pittsburg a library. why keep it in Pitts
burg, Do not place in the suburbs. Put the
library on the hill. say L p. G.

A Veterans Error.

To the Editor of The Dispatch:
A Southside veteran wants to know where
THE DISPATCH gets the news of the service
pension bill having passed. when Congressman
Dalzell, in answer to a letter, says it has not
passed. Yet THE DISPATCH has said ir
twice and last Tuesday refers to it editorially.
Would like to know how this is thusly.
SoUTHsIDE, April 3. VETERAN
Veteran is in error. Last Tuesday THE
DISPATCH said editorially: THE passage of
the dependent pension bill by the Senate yes
terday appears to introduce novel difference
of opinion between the two branches of Con-
gress, The House has already passed a service
pension bill for soldiers over so years of age,
and the announcement was made that the Re-
publicans in the House will accept no de-
pendent pension measure. The divergence
will probably necessitate a compromise, unless
it be harmonized by the passage of both meas
ures." etc. Surely this is plain enough, and
we cannot understand how Veteran arrived at
the foregoing conclusion.

TWO HOMELESS WAITS,
Remarkable Adventure of Children In Search
offs Home.

offs Home.
From the Philadelphia Times.1
When the Western express rolled into the
Broad Street station last evening it bore two
little waits who had been shipped East by ex-
press, ChrIssie and Sophia Burke, the former
years old, and the latter but 4 years old.
Some time ago William Burke and his
wife emigrated to California, finally Set
Ting in Stockton. Shortly after the
birth of Sophia the mother died and
on the 18th of last month the father also died.
The two children were left destitute, but kind
friends cared for them until the relatives in the
East could be communicated with. Their
grandmother, Mrs. Burke, of Atco, N. j., at
once replied and requested that they be sent to
her. So the two waits were given tickets and
money, and ticketed with tags bearing the in
scription, ITO be handed over to Mrs. Gottleib
Burke, of Atco. N. j., upon arrival at Phila-
delpha."
Every kindness was shown the two travellers
while on their journey, and were carefully
looked after by the railroad men through their
long journey. Upon their arrival at Broad
street they were met by their grandmother,
who took them on to their future home. The
youngsters were very contented during the
long journey, but were pleased to meet their
grandmother and felt that their trials were
now over.

reason for this remarkable growth is because
of the choice literary matter selected for its

pages filed with contributions from the best
writers.
The marvellous growth OF this paper has
rendered it necessary to increase its publishing
facilities, and new Hoe perfecting press will

Work Don't Agree With Them.

From the New York Herald.1
That the average tramp hates work as topper

dent at the Kings county almshouse. One hun
dred able bodied paupers were set TO work at
the sand hills near Crow Hill recently. The fol-
lowing day IS left the institution rather than
resume work. They would eat and they would
loaf but they would not be insulted by being
compelled to be useful.

The city clergyman who took the ground
in his sermon yesterday that Easter should be
devoted to contemplating beauties of holiness
instead of the beauties of millinery and dress
making. is evidently one of those unpracticable
theorists whose ideas of religion are wholly
irreconciIable with the modern practices of
fashionable church-going.

Each Party Without n Definite Policy
What the People wnnt-How to Capture
Millions OF Votes.
icoRREsPoNDENcE OF THE p1spATcH.i
WAsHINGToN, April 5.-There is 70 attempt
on the part of Republicans to conceal the
fact that they are in state of profound gloom
as regards the outlook for the party in the i'm
mediate future. All classes seem to feel that
defeat is IN the atmosphere as it Is at present
constituted. 1t Is even directly reported that
Senator Quay has admitted a doubt in regard
to success in the great Republican State of
Pennsylvania, and if this be possible, what is
not possible in other States?
This hopelessness is partly due to the knowl-
edge of the established apathy of the 'off
year." and still more perhaps because the ad-
ministratlon of President Harrison totally
lacks the ''go" that is necessary to inspire ac-
tive party people with confidence and enthusi-
asm. There is no snap. no vigor to it. Mr.. Har-
rison seems to wrap his cloak about him and lie
down to pleasant dreams of the immortality
that no encroachment of oblivion can now take
away from; for. failing or successful, his name
IS irrevocably inscribed in the roster of Presi-
dents. His air suggests that of one who is so
satisfied with having got so much above what
he ever expected or deserved as to desire moth
ing more the lack of desire being partly due,
perhaps, tn conviction that So 600 600 of people
have found him out and are not likely to do it
again.
But more than all, fancy, the looming up Of
the specter of defeat is due to an innate con-
sciousness of Republicans that their party EN-
bodies no distinctive policy which strongly
commends them above the Democrats. and
that the natural dIscontent, in such circum-
stances, with the party in power, will excite a
demand for change merely for the sake Of
change. With discontented and disguised
people anything is better than stagnation.
