THE FINANCIAL DRIFT.
Good Bank Statements Produced at Pitts
burg and New York.

The first week of the new year was a good
one in financial and commercial circles.
Bank clearings were nearly 8, COO, 900 in excess
of the corresponding time last year. The
call for money improved, but there was
more than enough to go round. Large
checking reflected n healthy state of general
trade. The Clearing House statement freely

transactions were comparatively large.
Features and influences we're all good.
The strong financial situation was the main
factor in the upward movement. Boston
was the source OF inspiration for Philadel-

1t good purchase for quick turn and
Pittsburg pumped it into them quite Hber-
ally.
Other strong interests were Luster, which
was bid ND to 81 on call yesterday and to 10
afterward, without bringing any OF it out.
Insiders have this stock so well in hand that
they are able to control it to suit circum-

the close of the previous Saturday, were
higher, with the exception of Pleasant Val

IT may be honestl y said and is
freely admitted In many quarters
that the bottom has fallen out OF the
Democratic campaign and there lie
absolutely no hope OF electing
Cleveland. This is welcome news
to the people Of Kansas, but it Is not
enough for them. The responsible
ftp of overthrowing q monstrous
political atrocity rests upon them.
Our state has been belied. slandered
and almost murdered by band Of
social pirates, and nothing tut an
overwhelming victory for right
principles will wipe out the stain.
When PETER and Simpson were
lying about Kansas and trailing her
fair fame in the mud In eastern
states, Kansas securities and In
vestmeuts Immediately sustained 9
heavy falling off in market value. A
syndicate already formed OF eastern
men who knew what Kansas was
then went into market and bought
our bonds i'm some instances at far
less than half their par value. Then
the reaction came and the election
Of last fall again sent the value Of
those securities to their old place.
and the "plItocrsts" resped all the
benefit. IL has never been shown
that these two precious patriots 10
were g party to that scheme, but IL
does furnish Q well grounded sus-
picion TO that effect. Stock market
quotations will show the fluctuations
and these fellowscause those secur-
tiles to go down and were justly en-
tied to q rake-off out Of the proceeds.
What benefit did they get out Of 1t?

-rwIxr GEE AND HAw.

Two men yesterday refused to
subscribe for the DAILY JOURNAL.
One gave as o reason that the paper
was to be printed on Saturday, and
as he kept Saturday as the sabbath
he could not conscientlously support
q paper printed on that day. The
other man, who was no more or less
the equal OF the first man In intelli-
gence and opportunity, said he
would not have Q paper printed on
Sunday. Both OF these men are
equally positive that the other IL
wrong in observing the day OF his
choice as the sabbath, and neither is
willing to admit the possibility OF
his being in error. IT places . news
paper with good intentions In very
bad plight. One Of the men went SO
far as to state that under no circum-
stances could any one who had q
hand in getting out q newspaper on
the sabbath day, even though they
vor ked an hour, could 60 to heaven.
Unless God Almighty In his INF
mite wisdom sees Mt to prevent IL, the
DAILY JOURNAL will appear next
Saturday and Sunday mornings,
after which, according to the custom
established by the Creator himself!
the paper will take rest Of full "a
hours, most of which time will be
on the day established by the church
rs q day OF rest and worship. Dur
ing that period il will take occasion
to ask pardon and remission for its
sins, and incidentally make q few
pleas for the bigotry and narrowness
OF some OF the people who live in
this town and who spend more time
Ia disputing over q matter OF few
hours rest than they do In winning
souls for their master. Personally
the JOURNAL has no objection to
any one observing any d:y he
chooses rs the sabbath, but at the
same time any man who attempts to
dictate to this shop how 1t shall take
its rest or worship God will have his
hands full.
This paper believes in worshiping
God and observing his laws, IL pays
its debts and minds its own business.
II imposes upon nobody and will
not allow itself to be imposed upon.
Let us have common sense, friends,
and federation. IL any Of us are In
error, We should not make fools Of
ourselves over Q matter that amounts
to so little that it IL not worth while
to raise q row about.
