A SENSIBLE VIEW.

Comptroller ECKELs made a very
sensible speech at banquet rendered
him in New York last night.
While not gainsaying that solvent
business men and institutions are
cramped by the financial stress. he
pointed to the fact that the great ma
jority of the recent failures were due to
speculation. When the speculation
collapsed the banks which had been
carrying the speculation met the same
fate.
The forcible part of his speech was
the presentation of the view that the
country has not gone to the demnition
bowwowS. In the tight times through
which we are passing. there is an evil
dent tendency to look upon the disasters
as though that was all that there was of
the business world.
While the failures have been many
and severe, it is wise to consider what
remains, and measure the business of
the country by what has withstood the
Shock, rather than retire to cave of
gloom with only the vision of disaster
before you.
BY looking to see what remains the
thoughtful man will discover that very
little has gone. The vast resources and
productions of the country exist. and,
compared with the whole. but few have
Succumbed.
The bright far exceeds the dark side
The only difficulty is that the people
forget the former, and brood over the
latter until they make it dark indeed.

AN EARLY CAMPAIGN.

If an evening paper reflects the senti-
ments of its party, it would seem that
the Republicans are somewhat previous
in launching their next springs cam-
paign. As there is no earthly chance
for the election of another so-called re-
form administration, those people may
as we'll start out now and have long
time enjoying themselves with their
lmaginations. at the same time. they
will afford the people who will snow
them under at the election show equal
to museum. AS business man and
citizen no one has anything to say
against Col. WRIGHT, but as a mayor 1t
is.the opinion of several Republican as
semblymen and good many others of
his party that he is not roaring sue
cess. Democrats need have nothing to
say in the matter; the other side will
kill the boom for him.
1t matters not whom they nominate,
he cannot be elected. The people have
had a fair test of reform adminlstra-
ton. and they are satisfied. When the
next reform candidate steps into the
field, there will be the grist of unsatis-
fed demands made upon the outgoing
administration to bob up like Banquo's
ghost. The expectations Of those who
brought about the election of the pres
ent administration were so great and
their realiZationS so little that they will
gladly improve the opportunity to give
expression to their disapproval of the
course pursued.
The people have discovered that So
called reform administration is just as
ready to feather its nest by partisan
measures as other parties could have
been. They have seen the interests of
the city placed in the rear for measures
intended to further the interests of the
party in power. They have recently
been aroused to the startling fact that
the administration was anxious to VIC
late the charter to relieve itself from
an awkward situation. What they have
had from this they will be ready to eX-
pect from any other administration
sailing under the same banner, and they
will not vote for another one of that
class.
But let the Republicans go Oh with
their show. It's dull times, and the
people want something to laugh at.

RAILROAD MEETING.

Cheap Rates Among Southern
ROads-lhe Western Situation.
CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Illinois Cen
trail, Louisville q Nashville and Queen
u Crescent lines have Joined in a call
for meeting to be held here Thursday
of this week for the purpose of consid-
ering worlds fair rates. The roads are
not in favor of putting down the rates
any more than can be avoided, and the
meeting will probably spend more time
considering the ways and means of pre-
venting the advent of cheap rates Into
their territory than it will spend in the
consideration of cheaper rates to the
worlds fair. The Southern roads have
been kept very busy of late i'll hand
ling their summer tourist business, and
as long as they can do large business
at the present rates. they naturally see
no reason for immediate reductions.
The proposal OF some of the Western
roads To establish One-fare rates, as out
lined yesterday, is booked to meet
some decided opposition when the
meeting cOnyenes Friday.

ings where fire cuts off the usual means
of escape, says the Chicago Tribune.
He writes as follows:
As means of preventing caIamities
such as occurred at the fair l submit
rough drawing of device that seems
practicable to me. | offer it for what it
may be worth TO humanity.
Encircle building or block of build
ingS with rail Gron1 attached to the
outer walls just under the cornice
upon this rail grooved wheels are
placed. and from the wheels wire ropes
or ladders are hung, they being cOu-
nected with the wheels III such man
ner that they may be pulled in any
direction without throwing the wheels
off the rail.
When fire occurs the ropes or lad
ders may be swung to any part of the
building by the fremen, or others
below. Should flames appear from
windows while person is descending
the lower part of the ladders may be
drawn away from the wall and clear the
danger without much, if any, risk.
The ladders could also be used by the
firemen in carrying up their hose.
When not in use the ropes or ladders
may be swung to the rear of the build
ing and out of sight, while the rail at
the top would not disfgure the archi-
tectural beauty of the structure.

THE NEW GRAIN LAW.
Sidney Nj. Owen Discusses the
Situation at Length.

Sidney NJ. Owen Discusses the
Situation at Length.
We not infrequently see, in Minnesota
country papers, statements similar to
this:
Owing to the intricate provisions of the
new grain law many elevator managers and
owners are refusing to store grain.
And so, the Inference is, they will not
be compelled to comply with the law.
After perusal of the rules and regula-
tions recently promulgated by the state
railroad and warehouse commission, for
the understanding and enforcement of
the law, it is hard to blame any man,
whether wheat buyer or seller, for get
ting as far away from it as possible.
There is no cenSure of the commission
in this; it probably made its interpreta-
tons and CORRECTIONS for taking Just
as plain and brief as possible; in fact,
its work seems to be a marvel of con-
ciseness and brevity, when the law that
made the work necessary is considered.
But how SenSeleSS is the whole matter
of regulating the wheat traffic by law,
after all. When the law has declared
bow many pounds of wheat Dushel
shall contain-and that is not necessary,
for wheat should be sold by the pound
or hundred weight-and has made it
impossible fer transportation companies
to rob the public. it had then better "let
nature take its course" than to smother
the traffic under multitude of enact
mentS. interpretations, rules and regu-
latiOnS, as is now the case. Wheat is
one of the staplest products of the
world; it is both necessary and harm
less; the world must have it, and it can
by no possibility do the world any harm
after it gets it. OF all articles of trade
and commerce there is the least neces-
sity of hampering its movements by
hindering law. If it were as miSchieV-
Gus as whisky, as destructive as dyna-
mite. as dangerous as pestlence, or as
slippery as thief, it would be both
natural and necessary to keep wheat
under the watchfui eye of officers of
the law, and be ever devising new
enactmentS WhereWith to fetter its
movements.
The character and usefulness of
wheat, and the appetite of the human
race establish beyond doubt the fact
that what wheat requires in its market
ing is absolute freedom. Under that
reign dishonest weights, unjust grades,
excessive dOckage and other skulldug-
gerry would largely disappear. Freedom
of market means the injection of the
element of competition into the bust
ness of buying and selling, and that
means death to combines, list price and
other existing abuses, that the 'new
law" does not even seem to be aware of
the existence of. Then some scheme
must be devised to knock out grades"
which will at once sound the death
knell of option gambling, for without
recognized contract grade" no gamb-
bling is possible.
But time will prove this to be true:
As long as lengthy, complicated laws
are enacted to regulate the marketing
of wheat, laws that require voluminouS
explanations and interpretations before
they can be understood or complied
with, just so long combines, list
prices. elevator rings and gambling pits
will flourish and multiply OH the face of
the earth Farm, Stock and Home.

NOT A BAROMETER.

There was rare excitement ON the
Chicago board of trade yesterday.
There is always liable to be an eXcit-
ng episode in that body, and such an
event does not signify anything for the
business world at large.
The board of trade bets at shutdown
that the price of wheat will go up. In
stead of doing SO, at sunrise the dealer
finds himself false prophet, and wheat
goes down.
Then the broker grows wild, and as
the result of his wildness the market
tluctuates violently.
This has been going on for years. and
is likely to continue for many more. 1t
is merely an incident in the life of the
Spectator.
Of course, at the present time. the
failure of bank is seized upon as a
pretext for excitement. Ii no failure
occurs some other pretext is seized upon
perhaps threatened rain storm-and
the work goes on just as we'll.
1t is immaterial what it is, but there
must be some pretext to pound or boost
the market.
And that is all that excitement on the
Chicago board of trade means.

EDWARD M'DERMorT DEAD.
Tragic Death OF a Once Promi-
nent Man.

Tragic Death OF a Once Promi-
nent Man.
Edward McDermott, at one time a
member of the Minnesota legislature,
who was committed to the asylum at
Rochester Nov. 13, 1889. and has been
there ever since, died at that institution
July 10. and is reported 10 have COM
mitted suicide. The communication re-
ceived by the probate court this morn
ing does not give the particulars of his
death.
Edward Emmett McDermott came to
Minneapolis about 1876, from the state
of New York. He was coppersmith
by trade, and engaged in that business
in Minneapolis. Becoming prominent in
labor circles, in 1878 he became a Dem
ocratic candidate for the legislature,
and in a spirited campaign was elected.
In the legislature of 1889, in whic
Mr.. McDermott served, he was the
author and succeeded in the passage of
the mechanics lien law. Among his
colleagues of the Hennepin delegation
for the session, which was the twen-
tieth, G. A. Gilman, speaker, were w.
II. Johnson, H. q. Hicks, ROW judge;
j. Ii. Clark, Frank l.. Morse, now sena-
tor; Peter Weinert, Harry Ghostly and
others. After his term he became the
secretary of the Masonic Relief associa-
ton, and engaged otherwise in the in
Surance business.
Deceased was unmarried he had
relatives of prominence in the East and
brother in Chicago. He is remem-
bered by his associates and brethren as
a genial, companionable man, liberal i'll
prosperity, but one who could not
amass property. His unsoundness of
mind came on gradually, ana it was ac-
companied by physical decay. which
made the case all the more difficult of
management. He was Mason of the
thirty-second degree and Knight

CHATS WITH TRAVELLERS.

while so many politicians and states
men are glibly voIclng their views on
the financial, situation. has any one
heard peep from Marcus Daily or other
men OF that class?" The query was put
by a well known gentleman VINO was
one of group sitting in the Merchants
last night after supper. There's a
thoroughbred" he continued, "who
knows his gait and goes it of his own
accord. [ have heard Mr.. DAILY say that
the day will come during his life when
silver will be in high favor on it's
merits. lie is an exceedingly well
posted man on ali questions touching
mining and finance, and lie takes no
pains To conceal his opinion that there
is not enough gold in the world, or
likely to be discovered, to bolster up the
claims and hopes of the monometallists.

"The crop talks | see In the news
papers often make me SMILE" said Hon.
E. IL. Craig yesterday. Let me tell
you something: A visitor in st. Paul,
he he prominent or otherwise, who is
asked as to the condition of crops in his
locality is placed in a peculiar position.
The folks at home, If he is a farmer,
expect him to say the outlook is poor,
because such q report may have tend
ency to better the price OF wheat. On
the other hand, there is large class
who will take issue with him unless he
says crops are good, in order to main
tain the credit of his locality. You may
not realize it, but these things have
their effect one way or the other in the
country. Oftentimes, [ have no doubt,
trade relations between the wholesaler
and the country merchant, or between
the dealers and the farmers who want
machines, are affected by reports
thoughtlessly given out in the city,"

that Senator Pettigrew, of South Da-

said that it may take longer time than
congress can afford to repeal the Sher-
man law. Silver producers regard this
as fight for life, and they will only
surrender in the last ditch. The coming
session will be historic, mark me-"
