TRADING IMPROVES A LITTLE, VIII
MORE BACKBONE TO PRICES.

Buyers Cunning for Cheap Stuff Likely 10
Be Disappointed-stocks Generally In
Strong Hands-Tractions Not Appre-
ciated-Luster Again the Center of In
terest.
There was some business at two OF tne
stock calls yesterday, and prices were a
trif1e stiffer. Last prices were generally 'he
best.
About all the interest there was clustered
around Luster Mining. Assistant Manager
Smith is in the city, and is understood TO
have brought favorable news. On the
strength of this, or something else, there
was a brisk demand for the stock, ana IL
finished three-eighths better than the open
ing.
When Electric was struck by the financial
cyclone, all the Westinghouse group weak
ened in sympathy. Now that Electric is OUT
of the woods the affiliated interests show an
advancing tendency. Switch and Signal
and Airbrake continue to gain ground. The
latter added half point to its credit yester-
day.
In spite of the bears Philadelphia Gas re-
acted a good fraction, finishing q better
than the initial bid. With good supply OF
gas on hand and more in reserve the deficit
racket is rather hard to work:
The fractions were dull and weak. Buyers
seem to think they can compel hOlderS TO
come to their terms but the result SO far is
disappointing. From the way the STOCK is
being held out of the market it is judged to
be in strong hands.
The unlisted fractions commanded some
attention, but figures were too far apart to
make business possible. These properties
are growing in value daily, and holders
whose tenacity is equal to their faith stand
a good chance of making ten n-strike.-
Fears that the market would be ripped
wide open by rushing things for sale have
not been realized, nor or they likely to be.
The belief is almost universal that prices are
scraping bottom, and that the next move
will be engineered by the bulls. Sales were:
First Gallo Luster at 1234 s Philadelphia
Gas ut 10H.
Second call-No sales.
Third call-3O Luster at 13, 20 at 131s; 80
Pleasant Valley at %; $1,000 Birmingham
bond at 9316 fiat.
Bids and asking prices at each call are ap-
pended:

ARKALoN, KAN, July 23.-The prelim-

Of Colonel Samuel Wood was held yester-
day at Hugoton before three justices of the
peace. DIR. c. L, Ebernother, the County
Coroner; Mrs. Wood and Mrs. Carpenter
were the only witnesses called by the State
The defense introduced no testimony. The
presiding justices bound Brennan over to
the grand jury, and committed him to the
Reno county Jail without bail. His trial
will be held at the September term of court
A large delegation of Colonel Woods
friends, headed by J. E. Thomas, and
armed to the teeth, were in town. When
the case was about to be called three menl
armed with Winchesters were stationed at
the door of the schoolhouse where the trial
was held, and as the crowd passed in each
man was examined and disarmed Three
men with Winchesters were on guard in the
court room during the hearing. The pre-
caution taken precluded the possibility of
trouble, and there was no demonstration of
any kind.

of the malt order. II is not cheerful
picture, as drawn from Mr.. PoRrER'S
figures, that five men in Washington
out of the 100 need running in by the
police where there is one such in
Milwaukee. If this lamentable contrast
is due to the use of whisky and strong
drinks in place of the mild Milwaukee
irrigant, a message from the president
TO congress on the subject might be in
order. In his last one he intimated that
there was local need of something of
the Utah regimen for the promotion
of chastity. Intemperance and disre-
gard of this virtue are understood to be
somewhat related. The absence of one
essential virtue leads to painful pre-
Sumptions. Washington is political
community. Is this police record, as
afforded by the census bureau, an evil
dence that politics leads to the police
station? The average percentage of
arrests in all the large cities is ass. to
$40 in Washington. Should not the
capital be removed to one of the temper
ate, beer-absorbing cities of the West?

AID TO THE RUSSIANS.

If q personal and despotic govern
ment cannot reach the inhuman
wretches reported in the recent dis
patches from Russia as selling grain at
high prices for the suffering districts
and then filling the bags for shipment
with grass and sand, except at the top,
there may be one useful field for II.
The information, however, is lacking
that the influential and thrifty swim
dlers were promptly given merited ret
ributiOn, although starving wretch
who stole few turnips was given
tude. Perhaps, as in some other cOun-
tries, the high mucks who steal under
DISCUSSES have immunitieS unknown to
the fellows. who do the small and vulgar
work. 1t is not surprising that corrup-
ton is widespread among the officials
and the starving are forced to bride
some of them TO obtain any share in
the relief supplies. The compulsory
immigration of this class to Siberia az
cOmpanied by those st. Petersburg
merchants who filled the contribution
boxes with bits of tin and paper, could
be applauded. 1t is evident, however,
that the government is giving earnest
attention to the condition of the suffer
ing. and the needs are so great as to de-
mand the assistance of all Christendom.
The United States should be among the
foremost in the work.

A STRIKING CONTRAST.

Milwaukee does not, of course, expect
20 get the national convention, but it
does well to look about and suggest
some of the local features that it can
claim as among lis special attractions.
In the compilation furnished by the
local press beer properly stands at the
head. 1t would be churlIsh to question
its fluent leadership IN this respect, nor
should there be any disparagement of
the quality. But the point very prop
erly relied upon to attract the favorable
attention of the Democrats of the ma
ton is the evidence of sohriety
and public order afforded in
recent census bulletin. Milwaukee
has over 1,40O saloons running wide
open seven days and nights in the week,
and yet this bulletin gives it the lowest
percentage of arrests for drunkenness
of any city in the land that has over
10000 population. The per capita iii
Milwaukee is LIS, while Washington,
the capital of the nation and one of the
most rigid in its administrative depOrt-
ment, is given STA. the highest OF any
large city in the land. The contrast is
striking, and the explanation not quite
apparent. 1t is insisted that it is not
found in any laxity of police service
n the beer city. There is no
reason to suppose that the po-
lice have obliQuity Of vision from
consumption of the staple manufacture.
1t may be conceded that Milwaukee
compares favorably with ST. Paul in
sObriety and good order. But why
should that city afford such a notable
contrast with Washington? Several
suggestions are thrown out, one is that
the universal beverage of Milwaukee is
beer, while that of Washington is more
fiery and alcoholic. 1t will be remem-
bered that when the Lake City seeks in
fuence at Washington the first thought
is to ship a train load of beer. When
CARNEGIE, the great manufacturer,
would mellow things there, he sends
whisky by the barrel. Mr.. NOR
TON, when he operates a buffet,
is understood to employ the most ex-
pert artists to mix drinks. The 'coid

MAY BE ELIGIBLE.

If statements recently published and
credited to MIR. CLEVELAND are au-
fhentic, it is highly probable that he
will not allow his name to go before
the nominating convention next year.
Their purport is that he has attained all
the hOnOrs to be conferred by the pres
idency, possesses a comfortable and
satisfactory business. is greatly at
tached to his private and domestic life,
and would not accept a nomination
again except under circumstances and
conditions that do not now seem prob
able. The indications are not at
present favorable to the unanimity
had at st. Louis four years ago. If Mr..
CLEVELAND is not in the field his
friends will be strong enough to dictate
the choice. They are unlikely to favor
any of the names mentioned in the East.
certainly not either of those who have
been regarded as antagonistic to the eX-
president. If the contention comes
West, and new man is looked for, the
natural effort would be to find one
who can carry some of the doubtful
states of the West. Gov. BOIES might
carry Iowa. but the contest there has
been so much mixed with the pro-
hlbition question that no satisfact-
DRY data is had as to the sltua-
ton with that local issue out
of the way Nor has there been OPP
portunity for the country to fully take
the measure Of the popular Iowa gov
ernOr. The recent reports from Wash
ington indicate that Senator PALMER,
of Illinois, causes surprise at the vigOr-
GUS manhood he exhibits and grows in
favor as presidential possibility. 1t is
premature to think about him as prob
ability, but his ability is conceded and a
strong showing for availability can be
made in his behalf. He carried Illinois
by an emphatic vote for member of the
legislature last year, and in the presI-
dental year as candidate for governor
split in two the $4,000 Republican
majority for president. The claim that
as a candidate he could not carry the
state and Wisconsin is very plausible.
Indiana could be counted in the bunch.
These three have 81 votes to be added
to the 159 votes from the South, making
210. New Jersey and Connecticut have
16. which bring the figures up to 226,
without the 6 or from Michigan, while
223 elect. West Virginia or Connecti-
cut could then be spared. No reason
appears why New York should not be
added with its SO votes. The claim that
the Illinois senator would be an eligible
candidate then would be easily sup

successes in pOrtraiture. Yet, for all
that, 1t is very likely that the man who

the proportions are nearly those of life.
1t is one of GutherZS grandeSt achieve
ments, and it is to be regretted that
ParlSianS and not ourselves should be
the first to view and judge it.
The significance of these matters is
Self-evident. As slight instance of
how our reputation for lack of appre-
clatlve qualities is spreading. take the

Van Gigeh, of Paris and New
Minneapolis. from the 4th to
the 18th inst. Here was really
critically and judiciously selected ag-
gregatlon of modern masters, among
whom were Gerome, Henner, Charles
Emile Jaques, Fortuny, Rousseau, Diaz,
Corot, Frappa, Rossi, Vuillefroy, Dupre
and Senet. Col. Grass is a keen con
nolSSeur and all apt judge of pic
torial values. Yet Minneapolis took
only side glance at his pictures and
then went OH specializing in flour
and sawdust. st. Paul, although in
vited. did not so much as take a look,
and those protesting an admiration for
the bruSh-pTint of genius who failed to
view the collection have cause to regret
the neglect. This Iethargy will rouse
itself some day, however, and this in
nocuous desuetude, as Cleveland would
say, will rot into fumes OF fever, in
which the public mind and private
purse will sprain itself in quenching the
thirst for the forgotten element of our
higher civilization.
with the new year and all art and ar
lists non est, st. Paul should contem-
plate more liberal mood upon the sub

should have it's associate nests of pa

and art. UtilitarianiSm 10 the eXclu-
