Wall street is hard to please. 1t is
now growing because of the great crop
prospect of the country. Bradstreet' s
financial article says that the probable
ity of enormous grain exports, in the
view of the brokers of the street, is off
sett by the protective strain to which
the money market may be subjected in
handling the crops. In the London
market they take different view of
things. The Financial Times foresees
great purchases of American cereals by
Europe and says at is not often that
the western farmer gets such II chance
of putting dollars in his pockets as is
afforded him just now. The European
demand for grain promises to be more
than usually large, owing to the poor
crops in France and other countries. /"
We are inclined to accept the London
view of the situation as the true one.
More money in the west and less of it
in Wall street would he u wholesome
of things, in spite of the
gloom into which such situation
would plunge the New York Stock ex-
change.

1t is said that the house in which the
notorious James boys lived in Missouri
will be taken to Chicago for exhibition
at the fair. This is an excellent idea.
There are millions of boys in the
United States to whom that house

men whose mighty deeds they aspire
to initiate. BY all means abandon the
idea of the log cabin in which Abraham
Lincoln lived, and take this outlaws
den in place. A large annex to it might
be built containing II free reading room
stored with dime novels, detective
tales and cheap story papers, and adj
joining it should Ike an auditorium in
which daily lectures upon the fine art
of murder, bank, stage and train rob-
berry and other kindred topics could be

Rear Admiral Walker has highly
complimented the naval militia of Bos-
ton and New York for the manner in
which they took hold of the practical
instruction given them during their
week atlOat on the White squadron,
and expresses the opinion that the
naval reserve will become a most valu-
able auxiliary to the regular service.
The practical working of the national
reserve theory has now been tested
with results far superior to the most
sanguine anticipations of the regular
officers, and the status of the reserve rs
a permanent institution has been set
tied. This will breed u new enthusi-
asm in the naval militia, and doubtless
battaiions will be organized in all the

The sweating system is always per-
nicious, but when it leads to alleged
confessions which are used as circum-
stantial evidence resulting in the con-
victiOn of innocent victims it becomes
most atrociously criminal. A few
years ago murder was committed in
Milwaukee, for which two young men
were punished, the only evidence
against them being ELECTED in this way.
A short time since, after one of the in
nocent victims was dead, and the other
a physical wreck, the real murderer,
Patrick Toohey, confessed. Such in
stances are not to rare, and the ever
suspicious detective is mainly respon-
sible.

Leading manufacturers of agricul-
tural implements throughout the coun-
try have formed a compact that during
the season Of 1891 they will abstain
from exhibiting al any and all county
and state and other similar exhibitions.
The reason given for this step is that
the manufacturers have come to the
conclusion that $1,000 spent in this
kind of advertising, while 1t goes to the
supporting of fairs, brings no returns.

In a current number of the North

The clause in the New York law
providing for the execution of MUIR
derers by electricity, which forbids the
publication of the details of such ex-
ecutions, is dead letter, as every one
knew it would he. AS full and COM
plete details of the late executions by
electricity in Sing Sing were published
in the New York newspapers and tele-
graphed over the country as if the
criminals had died by the halter in the
market-place. The grand jury could
not well ignore this fragrant violation
of the law, hence an Indictment has
been lodged against the editors of all
the New York papers for this offence.
The avidity with which the people
scanned the details of these executions
proves that they desire to have this
clause of the law violated. No law
can be stronger than public opinion
and legislators who push on in advance
OF this sentiment are not wise, since if
1t Is matter upon which the public is
interested whether it should
be or not) the spirit of such a law will
be violated, even if its letter is regarded.
1t is safe, therefore, to predict that the
newspapers, backed by the general
clause of the electrical execution law
OF New York, which enjoins secrecy as
TO the time and incidents of the ex-
ecutions for which it provides will in
