NEW YORK, Oct. 1.-The stock market to-
day was almost from opening to close in the
control OF the bears. London Was limited
buyer in the early trading. but there was
heavy outponring of stock in Missouri ph:
cific, Rock Island, Chicago, Burline ton and
Quincy and Atchison, and that the opera
tions of the last few days have largely in
creased the outstanding short interest is
shown by the active borrowing demand for
all the prominent stocks
The market opened with prices generally
only slightly changed, but Missouri Pacific
at ssh was down lh per cent and the pres
sure i'll the stock was very heavy, so that
while there was q short rally in the irst few
minutes its price after that time rapidly de-
clined, and was checked only at 54M in the
last hour. The effect upon the general list
was not for some time perceptible, but the
attacks on the leading shares soon showed
in the yielding quotations, the Grangers be-
ing sold for Western account and following
the leader comparatively closely.
Prices, however, were fairly well held until
late in the day, when a report that the Rock
Island intended TO issue $40, 600, 900 debenture
bonds was put in circulation, while Wig
shares, especially Rock Island, Burlington
and Atchison. The result was the declines
in the last 20 minutes were equal in those
shares to the losses for the rest of the DAY.
This was evidence of an attempt to cover
on the drop, and the volume of business
was very large right up to the close of busi-
ness, while a slight rally in prices occurred
in the last few minutes. The close was weak
and active at the lowest prices of the day in
most stocks. There were very few features
outside of the stocks mentioned, but the

Courage to Protect Ourselves.

What this country needs is inde-
pendence. Long ago 1t achieved the
power to make it's own laws without
assent of any sovereign, hereditary or
other. Ever since the question has
been whether it would make such laws
as to defend its own industries, to
make it's own workers independent OF
foreign domination or competition,
and to enable them to live on a scale
of comfort and OF independence to be
determined by themselves, and not by
the conditions prevailing in other
countries. With that issue plainly
before them, the people of this coun-
try have been asked more than once
to uphold that policy which defends
and builds up the industries OF our
own country. More than once they
have decided, and on the right side.
But what would their political indie
pendence be worth il in their industries
and their trade. in their modes of live
lihood and their habits of living, the
millions of working people in this
country were to be dependent upon
the will of foreign capitalists or COM
binations of capital, or the customs
or conditions prevailing In foreign
countries? Not soon will the people
of this country, by free votes honestly
counted, decide to surrender that IN
dustrial independence for which they
have been struggling so many years

Questions to be Pnt.

Inier-Ocean: The Republicans in
Ohio and in Iowa should never miss
an opportunity OF demanding from
Democratic speakers an answer to
these questions:
Where are those "higher prices on
account OF the tariff" which your par
ty predicted so constantly during the
campaign OF 1890?
Where is that increase of agricultur-
al distress that your party predicted?
What do you think of reciprocity,
anyhow?
II every one of the predictions made
by your party in 1890 has proven
false, haven't you a good deal OF nerve
when you ask us to pin our faith to a
new set OF predictions made by it?
Why is it that all your newspapers
and all your speakers are brimful oi
Joy whenever there is a prospect oi
high prices, low wages, short crops, OF
any other disaster?
Why is it that your party never re
ioices when the people are prosperous?
Why is it that your party never en-
courages a home industry?
Why is it that your party sides with
alien priests against the school system
in Wisconsin, sides with former slave
holders against "a free ballot in the
south, everywhere sides with the worst
part of the saloon interest against al
restrictions upon the sale of intoxi
cants?
These questions will afford great
comfort to the interrogators and oc
casion much perplexity to the interro
gated.

How Grady Rose.

The fame OF Henry Grady flashed
says the New York Tribune For two
years it shone resplendent, then sud
denly became memory. After death
the incidents of his career were re-
morselessly chronicled and comment
ed on, but the true story OF his start
in life has not been told. His rapid
rise on the Atlanta Constitution from
the humble rank OF private to the Of
fee OF commander-in-chief has been ac-
counted for in many ways. For years
1t was commonly believed in his ma
tive state that Victor Newcomb set
him on his feet. The head of the

young man, and said to him one day:
Henry, don't you want to make a
little money!
Grady confessed that he had har-
bored such desire once upon a time,
but that the bohemianism OF the news
paper business had robbed him OF it,
"Well, we'll see if We can't revive the
feeling" Mr.. Newcomb said. 500 and

said Grady, his black eyes twinkling
with merriment.
"Never mind the 40 cents. Your
credit is good. How much would you
like to invest?"
"Ten thousand as a flyer"
Mr.. Newcomb stified as well as he
could his amaZement at the young
mans audacity.
"When will you be in Louisville
again?" he asked.
"In ten days"
"Come to see me then, and we'll talk
| it over"
In ten days Henry turned up, and
Mr.. Newcomb handed him a check for
$1,000.
"There are your profits he said.
Better invest them at once"
Henry did invest; he reinvested and
kept on investing till his benefactor
pulled him up short.
"Now go home and lock up your
money in some good enterprise. You
have won $4,000. Never gamble
again"
Returning to Atlanta, Henry bought
a fifth interest i'll the Constitution
and was made managing editor. His
profits were handsome and his fame
grew apace.

Want Blaine and the Convention

LIoHrNINa OF THE LAW.
How the Four Murderers Met Their Terrible
Doom in Sing Sing Penitentiary.

SING SISG, n. v, July THE four
murderers, Slocum, Smiler, Wood and
Jugiro have met their doom. The ia
tai shock was administered in the gray
OF the early morning. Slocum was
killed at 4:42h. Smiler was put to
death at 5:14. Wood met his doom
at 5:3e, and Jugiro was killed at GOO.
One of the witnesses briefly tells the
story of the executions as follows:
About o'clock the witnesses and
jurors were led into the death cham
ber. The experts had previously ex-
amined everything and said they were
satisfied the machinery of death
would work perfectly.
At 4 o'clock Slocum walked into the
death room accompanied by Father
Creeden. He seemed to be making a
tremendous effort to keep his compos-
ure. He had received Father Creeden's
last offices and had declared himself
ready to die. He was then firmly
strapped into the chair and the death
current applied. Death was instan-
taneous. There was sudden contrac-
ton OF the nerves and then all was
over.
Smiler followed next and the Rev. Mr..
Edgerton cheered him up. Before
Smiler had time to think he was strap
ped into the chair, and an instant
later the current of electricity was
flashed through him that sent him
into eternity.
Next to follow was Wood, the negro.
He had been worked up to a state of
religious enthusiasm, and il was while
in this frame OF mind that he was fas-
tened into the chair and killed by the
fatal shock.
Jugiro was stubborn to the last.
There was that ferocious, ugly look
on his face, but he was closely guarded
and short work made of him. There
was no apparent hitch in the four exc
cutions and they were pronounced
success. The death of the four men
appeared to the observer to be pain
less. Death came like n flash. IL was
one awful shock and then oblivion.
