While private credit is always re-
garded with distrust in panieky times,
there is no reason why those who have
money should not invest It freely in
sound bonds and stocks which are
safe for interest and dividends, when
all such securities are selling below
their intrinsic value. There are plenty
of safe dividend plying securities now
sold on the market every day at from
ten to thirty per cent, below what the
same men, who are now looking up
their money, will pay for them when
confidence is restored.
Instead of looking up money, all
who have surplus funds should take
advantage of the present low prices
and invest They will do in the near
future when they will freely pay from
ten to forty per cent. more for secur-
tiles than they are now sold Tor, and
why not benefit themselves and help
reiuspire confidence by making pur-
chases at prices which not only assure
safety but liberal profit?

Mr., watterson's Retirement.
Saws the st. Louis Republic /:

Says the st. Louis Republic
"Colonel Henry Watterson has an
nounced his permanent retirement
from politics. In an editorial in the
Couriev-Journal, which may be taken
as a proclamation of his intention, he
declares that nevermore shall he cross
the the threshold OF another political
convention, state or national. This
would be bad enough in itself, but Mr..
Watterson proceeds to add that he will
never make another political speech.
This is worse. The eloquent Kentuck-
ian has been one Of the most pictur-
esque and effective orators OF the
Democratic cause in every campaign
since the war. He assures us, however,
that he has not abandoned the party,
but, as editor of the great paper with
which he is associated, will keep in close
touch with public affairs. There is COM
fort in that. 1t would be sad con-
summation of all the earnest and act.
i've years if Mr., Watterson should ell
tlrely desert the 'Star-eyed Goddess OF
Reform, or hold his hand until the
painted harlot of protection is rele-
gated forever to obscurity. But there
is no escape from his logic when he
says His place is here in this Office,
and his services for good or for i'll
in these columns. There ought to be
some one who wants nothing, who can
neither be bought nor bullied, and who
may be trusted at all times to write
the truth, as he sees it, for truths
sake, and for the advantage Of no
clique or faction"
This is supposed to be funny, in the
serio-comic view We took Mr.. Wat
terson, in his declared Intention oil
Withdrawing from active partisan poll
tics. as being not only quite serious
but quite right. We wish every editor
Of his honesty, and every one with q
1.-THE Of his ability, would follow his
example in this matter. We believe
the profession Of journalism and poll
tics to be incompatible. Mr.. Waiter
son has long held the same opinion
land he, as he usually does when ht
has anything to say that concerns hi
party and country, has taken then
into his confidence, in making hil
statement to that effect We believe
Mr.. Watterson, in striking out on this
course, has increased his power o

WHEN next pension day comes

surprised men, among those who will
apply for their checks at several of the
Pension agencies Throughout the coun-
try. The failure to receive the GUS

these men will have that they have

result of the examination now being

aminers, of all the pension granted by

Although this work has just COM
menced many names have already
been dropped and many more will
follow. The men who are being drop
ped by this committee are not strictly
speaking fraudulent pensioners, ar
though they have drawn public money
to which they were not entitled The
wrong was committed by Raum in so
constituting the law as to make them
eligible for pensions, and for that rea-
son it is not probable that any at

money already paid to those who have

The Victoria.

Another has been added to the long
list of disasters that have overtaken
English ships since the introduction
oiside armor, and whether it is that |
the armored ships are more difficult
to manoeuvre or that with the disap-
pearance of sail has disappeared the
old English mastery of seamanship,
certain it is that for these awful dis
asters bad seamanship has been in the
main responsible.
1t is true that good seamanship
could not have saved the Captain,
which went to the. bottom because she
had been built on falae theory but
the sinking OF the Iron Duke and the
Tultan, the loss Of the Serpent, the
stranding of the Victoria and the Howe
and now the total destruction of the
Victoria, might everyone have been
avoided And among all 1.-The melancholy
features of the catastrophe not the
least melancholy is the strong prob.
ability that the patience of the Eng
fish win prove to have been exhaus ted
and that the court-martial that must
ensue will find that scapegoat is de-
manded. As yet it is not known
whether the Camperdown or the Vic
toria was a fault, but the fact that
Captain Bourke had already received
a reprimand from the Admiralty for
the strandiug Of the ship last year will
. not fail to affect public opinion, unless
{ it is shown that he was not handing
!, the Victoria at the time Of the acct
dent.
Two things strike the attention al
once in considering this tremendous
loss OF life and treasure. First, it is al
E ways when the collision pulkheads are
open that collisions occur. Second, il

8 no further comment. As to collision

a they are fallacy, and that water-tigh
compartments are the only protection

ship builders now proceed whereeve
possible.

vALEDlcroRY.

1t has been painfully evident to us
for some time that The daily COMET was
a luxury rather than q necessity, and
one we can no longer enjoy in justice
to our wife and babies, to say nothing
of our few creditors.
Therefore, after mature elaboration
and q microscopic examination Of our
bank account, we have decided to "sus-
pend publication temporarily" and to
begin with this issue.
The suspension win only effect The
daily edition.. The weekly COMET will
continue to be published on Thursdays,
as for ten years past, but will be en-
larged and otherwise improved. 1t will
be delivered to all subscribers of the
daily unless we are otherwise notified.
1t is with no uncomfortable feeling
Of regret that we discontinue the daily
COMET. 1t is true, it has not been the
best newspaper published, but it has
ibeen the best we could publish, all
things considered. It was source OF
much pleasure and some profit during
the early months of its publication, but
recently it has been little pleasure and
no profit at all. For more than year
we have continued it at loss in the
hope that times would improve, and
believing that it helped the townto
be able to claim daily paper. There
was not 80 much lack OF enterprise
on the part OF the citizens to sustain
d the paper as there was a lack of abil
ity, and, having seen what little money
we accumulated with the weekly Com
EFT vanish like real estate under 6

a halt. When we have removed tn,
