strong stocks to-day were Lackawanna Wheel

were some large gains made, New Jersey Cen
trail. Delaware and Hudson. Edison General
Electric and Great Northern preferred being
especially prominent. The market opened with
a firm tone, but remained duh, except for those
stocks which had the advantage of the clique
support but a stronger tone was soon de-
veloped, and late in the day the upward move
Inent became most pronounced all through the
list. Outside OF St. Paul and Lead trust, how.
ever, there were not at any time any real
activity. The long expected declaration of a
dividend in the Lead trust came to-day, and
was great disappointment TO many, who have
been expecting one OF per cent, whereas the
dividend was only half of per cent. Upon
this there was heavy selling by disappointed
spectators, and this neutralzed the buying
which was INDUCED in by those who have been
waiting for thu dividend or othe good news
before purchas ng. The stock rose only a small
fraction in the early trading, bat lost all i'm
addition. Other industrials were aft cted to a
large extent. and the material advances made
in Sugar stocks in the forenoon were afterward
entirely lost. Market showed increased
strength as the day wore along outside of its
industrials, and while there was as usual some

there was no setback and the close. while

Chill is the most prosperous and stable of
the South American republics, but even
Chill is not proof against the revolutionary
spirit which seems to be always sm0uldering
among the peoples to the south of US. AS
far as appears the present trouble in Chill
grows out of controversy between the
President and Congress as to who shall gov.
ern the country, the former or the latter.
This controversy has been going on for
some time. AS long ago as last summer
Congress refused to vote supplies on the
ground that the President was plotting to
control the election of his successor with q
view to perpetuation of his power through
successor who would be under his control
and dolhis bidding. OF course both parties
have been anxious to secure the adhesion Of
the military and naval arms of the govern
ment because with them rests the ultimate
decision as to who shall rule-the President
or Congress. The latest dispatches indicate
thar the navy has concluded to side with
Congress. What the army will do remains
yet to be determined. But the adhesion of the
navy is great help t. Congress, inasmuch
as 1t is very formidable and we'll Differed

The Hon. j. 81. Manley has In the Kenne.
bee Journal long argument in favor of the
States loaning its credit to railroads. Mr..
Manley is of the opinion that the provision
OF the constitution which forbids the State
to loan its credit has proved great draw
back upon the State and is partly RESPONSE
BILE for the failure of Maine to keep up in the
race for prosperity with some of its sister
States, notably Massachusetts. There is
some force in what Mr.. Manley saws. no
doubt. and his arguments in favor of the
States embarking in railroad building are
not without weight. But there is one great
danger which it is difficult to effec.
tually guard against, and that is the
danger of over railroad building. If board
could be created infallible in its judgment
and proof against pressure. and the State
were willing to submit to its decisions we
should say the State might safely and very
likely probably embark in the enterprise
which Mr.. Manley suggests. But no such
board is possible The best board that can
be created will be neither infallible in its
judgment nor proof against influence. II it
decides that railroad is needed for the de-
velopment of one sectien, and calls upon the
State to help build it, 1t will find it practical
ly impossible to resist the claims Of
some other section. The result will inevita-
bly, be that the state will be embarked In a
large number of enterprises, many of them
OF doubtful character, with the inevitable
effect of saddling heavy debt upon the
people. Great latitude is now given for en-
barkation in railroad building thronoh tho
permission which the legislature rarely re-
fuses to give to towns to loan their credit for
such enterprises. That latitude is, we are
inclined to think, broad enough. To open
the door wider is to invite disaster.

The Bangor Wing says the Australian
ballot system is reform in name only.
Every Republican leader in Massachusetts,
where the system has been given thorough
trial, declares that it is reform in fact.
Which testimony is entitled to the more
credit? But the Wing asserts that it does
not entirely suppress bribery. and that some
body in Massachusetts, has discovered way
to circumvent its provisions. Very likely.
But is that sufficient reason for condemnipg
the law? Prohibition does not suppress the
rum shop. Does the Wing discard prohibit
tion on that account? The Lodge election
bill will not ensure an absolutely free ballot
and fair count in any district in the country
Dose the Bangor Wing condemn it on that
account? Men discover ways Of evading
the laws against larceny, and forgery. and
even the law against bribery at elections
passed by the last legislature Of this state,
but the Wing does not condemn these laws
on that account. Why then does 1t insist
that the Australian ballot system shall be
coEclusively shown to be proof against all
the Ubiquitous devices of man before it is
adopted in this State?
