THAT UBIQUITOUS MEASURE.


The banking house of F. R. Cord
ley & Co., Of Boston, Mass, issues
weekly trade circular giving closing
quotations of "active stocks" upon
the market. One page Of this circu-
lar is devoted to comment upon i'm
portsnt influences that affect the
markets. From the issue Of March
"a we clip the following:
The market has been waiting for the
presidents action on the seianiorage bill;
but the week closes without any evidence
from Washington that decision has been
reached. There are 30 many conflicting
political elements which are in position TO
bring tremendous pressure upon the presi-
dent that ID is not possible to know what
combination will prove strongest and win
the game. The fact that so iniquitous
measure as the Bland bill has passed both
houses Of congress and reached the presi.
dent is certainly not encouraging.
The operators who have the market in
hand, and who hope to inaugurate buying
movement on the part of the public are
evidently counting on the presidents veto
They appear to be calculating, also, that
the veto Of the seigniOrage bill will tffeotu-
ally kill the tariff bill. This does not neces-
ssrily follow.
The common, every day unsophis-
ticated clodhoppers and mudsills of
the country who read this profound
opinion of the Boston bankers may,
in their ignorance, wonder what there
is about this seigniorsge bill that
makes it such an ubiquitous meas
ure." What does the bill propose?
Why, it proposes to take enough of
the silver bullion now lying idle and
useless 10 the vaults of the United
States treasury to coin about fifty
five millions Of silver dollars rather
than borrow that amount from bank
ers upon interest bearing bonds.
Isn't that enough to make it IN
famous?
Then note again: "The operators
who have the market IN hand, and
who hope to inaugurste a buying
movement on the part Of the public
are evidently counting on the presi.
dents Veto" And will the president
dlsappolnt tbemG Is he standing in
with the fellows who hope 10 inau-
gurate the buying movement" or
with those who will engage in the
selling movement? AT this writing
it is not announced whether the bill
Is to be vetoed or not, and it is,
therefore, not certain which crowd
has bid the highest for presidential
favor. II will be known, however.
before this reaches the public.

Or what use are the president, the

lures and governors of states under
our present system! The police and
the courts are the government now

TEE WORLD DO MOVE.

ClS8n DlgoGry OF tine hHnsaS e'nW "Al0-
souri, press is the course OF the
Chicago Times in proposing to not
only throw open it's columns to the
discussion of all social reform
theories, from the single tax to anar-
chism, but to take an editorial hand
in the discussion. Even some Popu-
list papers might take a lesson in
federation from this democratic or
gan. The light is breaking, and all
the people need is light. HIRE is the
Chicago Times editorial in the issue
of March 25 announcing the policy of
that paper, and elsewhere will be
found one of the articles already con-
tributed:
Upon another page Of to. days Times WILL
be found two columns of matter bearing
upon the single tax and prepared under the
auspices Of the Chicago Single Tax club.
This department will appear in the Times
every Sunday until further notice.
The single-tax propaganda has reached
she degree Of importance which merits REQ
ognition by the press and the people. The
Times finds in il much that is undeniable,
much that Ia plausible. It is, and will al
ways be, the policy Of this newspaper TO en-
courage fair discussion Of every remedy for
existing social evils. The simple but unin-
telligent theory that whatever is is right
and that every suggestion Of change is an
incentive TO the vaguely wicked socialism
or the additionally develish anarchy we op.
pose. The evils Of to-day are plain enough
TO see. They are inevitablep II not, how
best can they be remsdied? The Times is
ever ready TO Welcome any intelligent con-
tribution to this discussion; whether it come
from socialist, anarchist, conservative, re-
ligious enthusiast, or anybody else. And
in the discussion this paper will ever be
ready TO ijin.
The Chicago single tax club, an organiza-
zion Of thinkers, will have opportunity to
express It's views-unahecte by any edi-
toHial revision on the part of the Times
weekly in this paper. This will not in any
degree debar advocates OF other systems Of
industrial and social reform from admission
to these columns. The Times enters upon
this inquiry in receptive and catholic
spirit. IL invites discussion and it depre-
Gates intolerance.
Nearly year ago the New York
World contained a page of Illus
trsted interviews by Nellie Bly, with
the leading anarchists of New York;
and the New York Times recently
opened its columns to the discussion
Of socialism-Mr. Stebbins, of this
city, hsving been one o. the con-
tributors. Newspaper managers are
learning that q newspaper will pay
best when conducted as a newspaper,
and not as the mere mouthpiece of
political manipulators; but that the
capitalistic press would ever dare to
publish fair discussions of modern
economic and social theories no re-
former Of three years ago could have
hoped.
Nothing but error can have reason
to fear the publication of truth. Only
wrong will seek to prevent utterance
OF the right. In these days of high
questioning, no party can afford to
knan linrhk from khn -o0.>l

Memphis, Tenn, Nov. 10-The forest
hres in Arkansas, north of Memphis, are
Spreading with undated fury, and with
a continuance of the drought that has
prevailed in this locality for the past
nine weeks, there is no reason to expect
a cessation of the fires until incalcula BILE
damage shall have been done. So far.
the fire has covered all the country from
Marion to Jones Landing, a distance of
twenty-five miles, which it travelled in
four days. The burned territory is about
five miles wide
fortunately the territory is thinly set
tied and cultivated only in spots.
The Payne and Green plantations have
been denuded of all fencing and out
Dulldings. Standing corn and cotton have
peen swept away and fields left open to
the stock.
In Shelby, Obion and Upton counties.
IN tennessee, there are other fires which
threaten destruction to hamlets that
stand IN their way, and bridges of the
Chesapeake, Ohio & Southwestern rail-
way are in danger.
In Arkansas, also. the Little Rock &
memphis road is threatened.
A special from Ripley, Tenn, to the
Commercial-Appeal says the people today
that are raging in that section. The
country eight miles west of Ripley is a
mass OF flames. The cotton fields and
corn fields are being destroyed, with but
little chance of checking the fire. Nearly
every creek and rivulet is dry, and wa ter
cannot be had to assist fighting the fire
in Lauderdale county.
A dispatch from Greenville, Miss, SAYS
train load of cotton on the Deer Creek
branch of the Georgia Pacific railroad
caught fire from the blazing forest to-
day and was consumed. No lives lost
A report comes from Nut Bush, Tenn,
late tonight that fire has broken ont in
that section, and is sweeping everything
before it. The fire was started by g. ne

snake to death by piling boards, and
weeds on the reptile and striking a match
to it. The flames at last reports had
swept over several cotton fields

The Budd-Estee Fight.

Sam Francisco, Nov. 10.-The close of
the election week finds the politicians
and the public generally in California
very much at sea in regard to the re-
suit of the gubernatorial election in
this state. What was at first supposed
to be a decided victory for Budd, the
Democratic candidate, has now devel-
oped into a question of very serious
doubt, and the official canvass will
probably be left to decide the contest
between Budd and his opponent, Estee.
During the last twenty four
hours there has been great re-
duction in Budds plurality, and
with the receipt of additional re-
turns, from almost every county he
suffers the loss of a few more
votes. There are 2,274 election precincts
IN the state, and when returns had
been received from 1000 of them Budd
apparently had safe plurality Of over
2,UOo, and his election was conceded
practically by everyone. The situation
has changed since then, however, and
now with 2,O63 precincts heard from,
his plurality has dWindled to 500. In
the meantime, the Democratic state
central committee is claiming that
Budd'S plurality in the city of San
Francisco will be 500 votes in excess
of the 1,10O which has been generally
accepted for the last day or two. If
this claim is correct, then Budd's plur-
ality now is 1000, with over 200 pre-
cincts in the state to hear from. There
is a prospect, now, that if Budd is de-
clared elected after the official canvass
next week, the Republicans will con-
test it and will carry the matter to the
legislature, which is strongly Repub-
lican. So far as the remainder of the
state ticket is concerned, the Republi-
cans have carried practically every
thing and have also elected six Of the
seven congressman.

Trenton, N. j., Nov. 10.-The stalwart
sons of old Pennsylvania today clipped
the claws of the Princeton tiger by a
score of IL to 0.
1t was a glorious triumph for the red
and blue, and places Pennsylva MIA in the
front rank of the football teams. Where
the sturdy athletes of ancient Yale had
failed and given up championship honors
Pennsylvania attacked, crashing through
and breaking asunder that hitherto invin-
chile line, they carried the ball forward
and forward over the touch down line
and planted the red and blue flag behind
the goal pest.
The tigers, who, three hours before.
punched on the gridiron full of confidence.
now filed sadly off the field, many of them
SO weak and crippled that they had to be
borne in the arms of comrades.
The big crowd went wild.
long black streamers faded from sight.
In their places hundreds of blue and red
umbrellas, blue and red handkerchiefs,
blue and red ribbons burst into view like
magic. The vast throng whooped and
yelled until the big state house far away
In Trenton fairly quivered.
Finally the enthusiasm became bound
less and like a great flood the crowd surg
ed out into the gridiron, and hoist
ing the Quaker kickers upon their should
ers, carried them in triumph from the
1t was q grand battle, stubbornly fought,
but the Tigers at no time had a chance
of victory. Pennsylvania outplayed them
man for man and never was the Quaker
goal in danger. The mighty Wheeler was
tossed like baby in the arms of the
giant Wharton. Trenchard, prince of end
rushers, found in Gilbert a king Lea,
the famous tackle, struggled manfully
and vainly against his curly-headed oppo-
nent. Wagonhurst, Osgood, Brooke Gil
bert, Wharton and knipe were all en-
trusted with advancing the ball, and all
justified the confidence placed in them.
Williams the plucky little quarter back,
handled himself like a veteran, and scored
the first touch down for the red and blue.
The ball had been passed back to Coch-
ran for kick on Princetons 20-yard line,
but the Tiger full back hunted the bali
into the ranks of his own men, and
Williams, with lightning agility, tucked
the leather under his arm dashed down
the field through the Tigers ranks and
dropped it behind the goal post
Brooke placed the ball squarely between
the posts and over the bar, scoring six
points for Pennsylvania. This was in the
second half and about ten minutes after
play had been called. No scoring was
done in the first half, although the
QualSers took the ball within six inches
of Princeton's goal line. about the middle
of the first half, and lost il, on four
downs, through what was probably an err.

Washington, Nov 10.-Events of the
hast few days in which the officials and
diplomats of Washington have partici-
pated lead them to believe that peace
Between China and Japan will be con-
feaed at an early day. China has at
last reluctantly, but very fully, admit
ted that she found herself wholly I'M
prepared for war. Japan, on the 9th
er hand, smilingly accepts the acknow-
Judgement of her progress and awaits
the detailed proposition as to how
much China will concede as a basis of
peace. 1t remains to be seen whether
Japan will demand too much or China
yield too little, but the indications are
that both powers are so strongly in
clined towards getting together that it
IS believed peace will be effected on the
basis of Corea's independence and a
cash indemnity for war expenditures
If, however, Japan urges her demands
e the extent of part of China's terri
TcSy, the prospect is that China will
cot humble her pride to this extent,
but will continue to prosecute the war
as best she can, relying on a bitter
winter, now at hand, to give her tenn
porary respite and defense.
The foregoing briefly summarizes the
situation as viewed by the officials here
who recentlv had most to do with the
subject. At the outset Great Britain
sought to have the United States and
the great powers of Europe to inter
Ane. The facts as to these negotfa-
tlqHS at Washington have not until
Z0w been made known. Cable direc-
ffions from the London foreign office
first came to GoSchen. ut British
charge d affaires, in the absence of Sir
Julian Pauncefote. Goschen was at
the time at his summer home at New
London, Conn. He took the first train
for Washington. He arrived Sept. 25
and remained two days. He saw Sec
rotary Gresham in person and presen-
ted Great Britain's proposition to the
United States to cooperate with the
other powers in order to secure peace.
The reply was duly given that this
country would not cooperate on the
ground, it is said. that the policy of
the United States was TO avoid entang-
ling foreign alliances on questions in
which it had no immediate concern
Since that time no efforts on the part
of Great Britain have been made, as
far as known. Under the circumstan-
ces the present negotiations do not in
volve foreign intervention, but a mu-
Sual arrangement between China and
p pan, to which the foreign powers
will give their moral support. It makes
1ittle difference then what the United
States or other powers may do, as long
as China and Japan come together,
4 although both powers seem to be anx-
ious to have the cooperation of this
country and others in the negotiations.

positions on the part of China. are di-
rect from United States Minister Den

WANTS MOORE RELEASED.
Chinese Minister ConsuIts With Sec
rotary Gresham.

Washington, Nov. 1O.-The Chinese
minister here has conferred with Sec
rotary Gresham as to what can be done
for the relief of Mr.. Moore, formerly
interpreter of the legation, and now
prisoner of war in Japan The minis
ter has no direct interest in Moore, ex-
cept as friend. and it is claimed he
acted on his own responsibility.
Messrs. Wilde and Cameron, who were
arrested with Moore, first wrote the
Chinese minister, Offering their dyna-
mite torpedoes. The minister paid no
attention to the letter. Then, it is said.
Mr.. Moore took up the subject on his
own account, and without authority
from the minister of China. Now that
he is in prison, however, the minister
wishes to help him in any way he pos
sibly can. The conference with Score
tary Gresham has not resulted in any
definite step, as advices from the Uni
ted States consul at Yokohama are
awaited.

Nashville, Tenn, Nov. 10.-Midnight-
The Democratic executive committee
practically admits the election of Evans
Rep.), on the face of the returns. The
Republican committee claims his cleo
ton by from /, 400 to 1900 votes. There
will be contest when the legislature
meets, to canvass the returns. The
legislature is Democratic in both
branches. The Democrats claim they
have conclusive evidence of frauds per-
petrated in east Tennessee counties and
that returns from many of them have
been padded to show more votes and
larger majorities for Evans than he
received, and that when these are
eliminated Turney's undisputed vote
will give him the majority Further
returns tonight from two counties show
the former statements from them were
not correct and reduce Turney's vote
about 1000. The American from late
and corrected returns, admits that
Evans has $50 over Turney by the face
of the returns.

TRANSIT OF MERCURY,
One Hundred and Thirty-one Photos
graphs Taken.

Washington, Nov. 10.-The transit Of
Mercury was observed at the naval OBJ
servatary today under the direction OF
Professor William HosknerS aStrono-
mer. The first and second contacts were
observed most satisfactorily, but because
the sun was obScured by a. cloud at the
time Of the third and fourth contacts,
which should have occurred about Alp
p. m, no observations could be made.
Between IL a. m and p. m. 131 photo
graphs were taken with a photo hecto-
graph. The first contact occurred at 1851.
which is about two minutes later than
the time indicated by the calculations
This fact shows that there is some in
accuracy in the tables by which the time
for the transit was computed, and it is
hoped facts ascertained today will result
in correcting this error But for this very
elaborate calculations will be necessary
and it will be some time before the re-
suit will be known
The transit was witnessed by several
distinguished people, including Mrs.
Cleveland. the secretary of state and
Mrs. Gresham, Secretary Herbert and his
daughter. and Mrs. Lamont, wife of the
secretary of war.
