Low Enough to Tuy.

Low Enough To Iuy.
Prices OF both merchandise and securi-
ties would seem TO be on a sufficiently
low lead to encourage buying for the long
pull; in fact there are evidences that
heavy interests are already taking advant-
age of the easy monetary situation to do
this. There is less talk about state bank
currency, and on this gradual improve
ment in the financial position foreign
money is slowly seeking investment here.
1t is also good opinion that
the tariff schedule will be changed more
in the interest OF manufacturers. Theo-
retieally the Democratic policy of tariff
reduction may be correct, but the condi-
tions OF the United States treasury is such
that no policy can now be adopted that
will seriously reduce the revenue OF the
government, and any attempt TO increase
the government receipts by direct taxa
tion where.it can be seen, will be worse
politics than TO maintain fairly high
tariff where il cannot be so readily seen.
The security markets are still narrow, but
strong undertone Is discernible.
Stocks do not come to market on bear
raids, and actual buying orders affect

Just beginning to Feel the Decline.
A gentleman conversant with western

the West are that the railroads are only
beginning to feel the decline in business.
The improvement in trade expected to re-
suit from the cold weather has not ma

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April z, 1899. Rep
resentative Cadmus, of the Paterson dis
trict. came to Washington yesterday.
bringing with him Mr.. John Kennell. who
waats to be re-appointed Postmaster OF
Passaic. In all probability he will have
his desire grauf1ed.
When President Cleveland entered upon
his first administration, he allowed the
Republican Postmaster to remain until
his term had expired, a period of two
years. Then Mr.. KenuelI was appointed,
but President Harrison was not SO con-
siderate as Mr. Cleveland. In the very
first month of the Republican administra-
ton, Mr.. Kennel was sutnmarily re-
moved, and the term of the Republican
who was then installed has now expired.
Under the modification of the Presl-
deat's rule regarding ex-office holders,
all officials who were decapitated are TO
be allowed another chance for appoint
ment. Mr.. Kennel comes under this
head, and as he is endorsed by Represen-
tative Cadmus, his appointment is re-
gar6led as certain. His selection Is also
unanimously urged by the Democrats OF
this city.
WANTS TO BE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.
Mr.. James Parker, of Perth Amboy, was
iu Washington yesterday. and spent some
time in advancing his claims for the
position of District Attorney of New Jer-
sey This Office does not become vacant
for some time, but still hunt is In prog

Parker is brother Of Cortlandt Parker,
but, of course, holds political views diam

Lunatics Do Not shed Tears,

One of the most curious facts connected
with madness is the utter absence OF
tears amid the insane. Whatever the
form of the madness, tears are conspicu-
Gus by their absence, as much in the de-
preston of melancholy or excitement OF
mania as In the utter apathy of dementfa.
If patient in lunaGic asylum be dis
covered in tears, it will be found that IL
is one beginning to recover or an emo
tional outbreak in an epileptic who Is
scarcely truly insane. While actual in
sane persons appear to have lost the
power of weepiug. it Is only returning
reason which can once more unloose the
fountains of their tears.
Even when u lnnatlc is telling one In
fervid language how she had been de-
prived of her children, or the outrages
that have been perpetrsred on herself /,
her eye is never even moist. The ready
gush OF tears which accompanies the
plaint of the sane woman contrasts
strangely with the dry eyed appeal of the
talkative lnnatic. 1t would. indeed, seem
that tears give relieve to feelings which.
when Dent up, lead TO madness. 1t is enc
of the privileges of reason TO be able to
weep Amid all the misery of the insane,
