THE FINANCIAL OUTLOOK.

NEW YORK, Oct. l7-Henry Clews, in
his weekly financial circular, says, in part:
"As a class, 10 investments are now
more worthy of attention than railroad
stocks and bonds In many important re-
spects the railroad interests of the country
are in sounder condition than ever before.
While transportation and travel is un-
usslly heavy, exceeding last years extra
ordinary results and likely to continue
with the stimulus of the Chicago expOsi-
ton in prospect. rates are well maintai
and hostility between the great systems
has been reduced to "a minimum.
The result is heavy gross earnings,
enabling liberal expenditures for improve
| ments which ought soon to permit of
greater economy i'll operating expenses
and consequently better net results than
heret ofOre. Another important factor,
from the purely railroad point of view, is
the wholesome restraint OF competition
aud the restricted building of new lines.
The best authorities estimate that not
more than 4. 900 miles of new road will be
constructed in 1892, which will be the
smallest TO total OF any year since 1855.
Considering the rapid increase of popula-
tion and traffic, it certainly looks as if
railroad development WAS not keeping
pace with the natural growth Of the
country.
Another important factor favoring the
stock market Is the sound condition Of
business. The volume of trade Is large;
failures are few; collections are good;
speculation comparatively quiet; prices
low; labor well employed; wages high; in
short, the masses are prosperous. la all
the textile industries, for instance, trade
has been particularly good; and many
cotton, wool and silk mills have larger
number of advance orders on hand than
ever before. A further illustration of &C
tivity in consumptive channels is
the continued heavy imports, not
only of dry goods, but of necessities
and luxurles of all sorts, the increased
revenue from which has proved boon to
our nearly depleted treasury. There is now
little fear that Secretary Foster will not
be able 10 meet all likely obligations on
gold basis. The money market is working
closer, and call money may be subjected to
sharp fluctuations; but there is DO lack Of
time money available ut reasonable rates
Foreign exchange displays weaker ten
dency, du. to larger offerings of CONNER
cial bills; and Loudon, it may be noted,
shows a more favorable disposition to
American stocks. This, however. is more
likely TO result in lessened selling than in
renewed large buying, unless business and
financial conditions in Europe undergo an
early Improvement.
The crop situation is favorable, in that
the diminishing yield of wheat, corn aud
cotton was desirable, considering the large
supplies carried over and the prospective
diminished foreign demand for cotton and
wheat. Another heavy yield of thess
three products would have done more in
jury, through over production and low
prices, than any abundance could have
compensated for. The approach of the
elections may tenn to restrict business;but
this obstruction is proving notably less
than in former presidential campaigns"

YOUTHFUL DYNAMITARDS.

attempted an awful crime at midnight on
Saturday. His fathers house, small
frame structure, stood fifty feet from a
small mine. The boy. with several com
panions, procured 200 pounds of giant
powder. and exploded it in the shaft by a
fuse. The intention WAS to kill the boy s
father, mother, little brother and sister,
against whom he had a fancied grudge.
The Truman residence aud that of Peter
Breene, next door, were wrecked. Miracu-
lousy none of the inmates were seriously
injured. All the residences in the vicinity
were also more or less damaged. Herman
is missing. and a search is being made for
him.

OKLAHOMA POLITICS.

Ell RENO, o, T., Oct. 1L-[Special] i
Saturday was the Democratic day in
Canadian county, and although the
Democratic leaders exerted every influence
in trying to Guido the Republicans rally
Of the day before, they were disappointed
In their efforts. Mr.. Travers, their caud-
idate for congress. arrived. unattended by
other speakers, and found only IS or 100
Democrats at the depot getting ready to
march to that old southern Democratic
air Away Down South in Dixie" The
parade was "a failure compared to the
one given to Flynn, Peters, Governor
Seay and their friends. Mr. Schweiger
the leader, and one of the best Democrats
of the bunch, announced that Mr.. Travers
would speak from the Caddo porch, as did
the Republicans, at O'Clock p. m. Upon
the arrival Of the time they We're there,
but the audience was small that they
moved to the court room, room 80 GO
feet.
Here Mr.. Travers began his harangue,
complete din of words, without touching
upon the issues of the day. His statements
were disconnected and full of unauthorized
assertions, about in line with Jerry Simp
son of Kansas. One of these assertions
was that be had just travelled twenty-five
miles through the sand hills Of County b,
thus giving the people to understand that
County b was a county of sand hills, and
In a very uninhabtable condition. He
next stated that Mr.. Flynn would not have
como to Oklahoma If he had not had the
commission OF postmaster OF Guthrie in
his pocket. Mr.. Travers is not aware of,
or torgets, the fact that Mr.. Flynn could
have had several good appointments in
Kansas, worth double the postmastership
OF Guthrie; that Mr.. Flynn had announced
his Intention OF going to Oklahoma two
years prior to that memorable April %,
1889, and that Mr.. Flynn used his infu
ence during these years in securing the
opening up of this grand country, while
Travers was sleeping in his Democratic
cave of gloom in the Ozarks of Missouri,
little thinking or knowing whether he
would be i'll South America Or Oklahoma
at this time.
The statements made by Mr.. Travers
demonstrated that as to the political his
tory of the United States his Ignorance is
unlimited. Nothing has ever been done in
this country, so Travers alleges or implies,
that ever amounted to anything which was
not begun, carried through and perfected
by the Democratic party. Outside of the
discovery of the country by Columb bus,
whom he did not claim AS an adherent OF
the Democracy, and the planting OF the
colonies in this land, every thing. so
Travers claims, was the work of the unter-
rified who call themselves disciples of the
faith as handed down from the Gathers by
Thomas Jefferson and Andy jackson. HIS
speech from inception to peroragion was a
tissue of paipable faisiticaiioDs of history,
and evidently WAS the production Of "a
brain that never has turned 10 the study OF

The territorial university at Norman has
an enrolment Of eighty pupils, which is

do this.

A MANkATO BOOM.

One of the evidences Of city's pros
perity is the success of business
and professional men in their various
avocations. Prof. Arnold, the great
London eye specialist, has remained
here now nearly seven weeks and
while his business has been fairly
prosperous from the first it is now
phenomenally so. There are several
reasons for this. One is that Man
kato is a good business point. the
business is here. Another is the IN
doubted skill of the Professor in eye
troubles and the perfection Of his
magnificent and costly appliances to-
gether with the kn0,cledge Of ho,C to use
them. besides his enormous stock con-
tanned in fifteen gigantic trunks and
ten large telescope grips and sample
cases, p. pieces of baggage, IS hun
dred pounds, and every pair of glasses
perfect. No second quality goods
whatever. Oculists charge Irregular
price, from ten to twenty-five dollars
for testing eyes as rule. The Pro-
fessor does not criticise the price adj
versely nor think it too high, when
the years of study and practice re-
Quisite to obtain the necessary eXper-
fence and the cost of the needed APP
planes is considered. In fact it is
little enough. However, Prof. Arm
old is Of the opinion that the eyes and
sight of people of ordinary means, who
cannot well spare the time nor the
money necessary to visit distant cities
to obtain first class optical talent, is
as precious as the sight and
eyes of the millionaire, who, can af-
ford to pay the price demanded by
city specialists. He accordingly
makes no charge for testing eyes, and
sells his glasses scientific fitting
thrown I'M at about one-half the price
asked for goods Of anything near as
good quality in our largest cities. All
customers eyes tested and perma-
nently registered free of charge.
