Cranks and Anarchists.

For the safety of public men. gen.
orally. the assassin Prendergast should
be hanged as relentlessly as Guireau.
Even though he were a little cracked
las Guiteau was, beyond all doubt
the public interests demand that he
be made an example. The class OF
cranks to which he belongs are cum
ming enough to trade on their ow n
rattle Drained responsibility as a
protection against the consequences
of their acts, and they are just sane
enough to be thoroughly afraid of the
gallows.
Severity of The most radical kind is
the only way to keep down that form
OF criminal mania, which consists in a
general malice against all mankind
and a general reckless disregard of life.
The proposal to punish anarchists by
the whipping post, not by one appli-
cation, but by regular weekly
or monthly administrations for long
periods may seem cruel and bar bar
Gus to weak and super sensitive peo-
pie: but when the hideous or 1elty
and barbarism of the crime is con-
sidered, all considerations may well
be set aside except the single one:
Will such a course of treatment prove
the most repressive?
Miscreants of the type OF Guiteau,
Norcross. Prendergast Bourdin and
Valiant are entitled to no more con-
sideration than wild beasts. Indeed,
the hyena is a respectable animal
compared with them, for, after all,
It's feroeity is a natural instinct,
whereas the malignity of the crank
assassin and the dynamiter is a pro-
duet of depravity. 1t is the duty OF
civilized society to hunt such vermin
up and down the world and having
caught them deal with them in any
way best calculated to strike terror
into others similarly inclined.
LET us hope the North River bridge
hill will pass. Let US hope it will not
pass In a fake form. The proposal to
locate the New York piers in the New
York Central yard is an insult to the
intelligence of the people.
WHAT does Captain Lange mean by
permitting a crowd of toughs TO raise
adisturbapce at the mission services
held every Sunday in the car stable
waiting-roon at the head of Mont
gonnery street The purpose OF the
people conducting the services is most
praiseworthy. They have authority
from the company to hold their SER
vices in that place. They are neither
lntruders mol law breakers. They
are engaged in the worship OF God IN
i pions and decorous fashion. Why
should toughs and b~lackguards be
allowed to modest and insult them
within q short hnndred yards OF a
police station house.
If Captain LANCE does not wake up.

complete stock in every grade. Styles in
these seldom change; but in the Japan
Mattings we show entirely new and un-.
usually handsome effects. The blues and
reds, in regular patterns, mixed, and IN
dashes of color, are very taking while
the browns, green's and yellows are by
many preferred because of their more
simple elegance.

The REVIEW OF THE WEEK
Six More Iron Furnaces Are in
Full Blast.
Railroad Earnings Make a Good showing
Failures for the Week Were Few
Wheat, Pork and Cotton
Reported Lower.

New YORK. March 17.-E. G. Dun &
Coz s weekly review of trade says:
Prices of commodities are this week or
the whole the low est OF which there is
any record. having declined l.2 per cent
III March and averaging ll,3 per cent
lower than year ago, SO that more than
a third of the increase III the volume o
all payments is due to decline in prices
of things consumed.
Six more iron furnaces have gone into
blast this month, in part because prices
of finished products are shade lower
and further contracts lave thus been Sc
cured. Pittsburg gets the lions share
and has most of its works in operation
cheaper freight having helped this week
with lower wages and coke. and con.
tracts for Mesaba ore at $22j. The
Illinois Steel works are about 10 resume
in part. having secured orders for rails.
Cheapness of material and labor stimu'
ulates the erection of many buildings,
both east and west
The volume of business represented by
all clearings this week is 81 2 per cen
less than a year ago and at all cities out
side New York PA per cent, againsi
IA per cent last week.
Railroad earnings make a better com,
parison, falling but 1916 per cent below
last year for the first week of March
against 1874 per cent III February, bui
the gain is in part because the trunk lines
have cut rates and secured, for the first
week in long time, a larger eaSt-bound
movement than was recorded year ago.
The wcSt-bound movement is also larger
in dry goods and groceries.

saved by Policeman.
NEW YORK, March l6.-Hetty Green
life was saved by the GOODNESS and hero
ism of Policeman John Kane Of the
Broadway night squad. The richest
woman in the world was lodging the
tax assessors men. In going from the
east to the west side of Broadway she
looked furtively up and down the street
10 see II she was being followed. She
forgot the dangers of crossing. Sud
denly she heard the changing of a clf
gong and the shouts of bystanders.
Mrs Green stood as IL paralyzed with
fright. clutching the little old satchel
in which she carries 80 many precious
bonds and mortgages Tho car was
almost upon her and in anothe %-Anstant
would have thrown her down in the
middle Of the track. Before Mrs. Green
could stir or cry out she was picked
up in a pair of strong arms. The down
town car brushed her skirts on one side
and the up town on the other. She
had beeu held between the tracks.
I hen she looked up and saw the po-
liceman's face.

The policeman looked all about for
the missing paper. She looked in her
satchel and found IL there.
Never mind" she told him; "You
need not look; I've got it here in my
satchel."
Then Mrs. Green, looking very much
annoyed ut the attention she was at
tracing from crowd on the sidewalk,
walked off without word of thanks
or a sign of gratitude.

NEW YORK. March l1.-Bradst rect S
review of the state of trade says: The
unusual prolongation of mild springlike

Corroboration of this is found in almost
unanimous reports Of increased sales

where general trade has heretofore been
reported barely steady

Similar advlceS are received from st.

though sales of paints, oils and building
materials are quite active, the total is %
per cent smaller than year ago.
Prices of leading staples at the close of
this week and last indicate similar irreg-
ularity, wheat being cent lower, pork
and lard each 81 cents lower and cotton

A SINGLE TAX BILL.

Henry George Addresses the New York
Legislature on the Local Option Scheme
ALBANY, n. Y, March l5.-Henry
George addressed the New York legis-
lature today on the local option bill
which is now before that body. This
bill receives the support Of all single
takers. as they believe it to be the first
step toward single tax. The bill pro-
poses to leave the counties absolutely
free to levy taxes to suit themselves.
Opponents Of the bill object to it. on
the ground that II any one county
should exempt manufacturers and cap
ital from taxation. all other counties
would soon find themselves obliged to
10 the same thing. as capital would
naturally flow to the place most friendly
to 1T. 1t has been before the legisla.
ture three times already, and the last
lime il came within three votes Of pass.

Better Than Expected.

The Weekly Report of Trade Conditions
Better Than Expected.
New YORK, March l6.-The weekly
reports Of trade and labor conditions
from all part of the country are even
more encouraging than in the first of
the month. In fact the revival is such
as to astound commercial men who re-
tain recollections of previous panics
and eras of depression, and the slow,
wearisome periods Of recovery. The
weekly advices that have been coming
in during the past twenty-four hours
show a decided improvement in the
wholesale branches of nearly all classes
of trade aud the starting up of hun
dreds Of industries that have been sus-
pended for months. Still more pro-
bounced is the report Of the condition
of retail trade. Country dealers are
sending in orders freely, and travellers
on the road report fair sales and an ex-
ceedingly bright outlook. Reports are
particularly favorable in Missouri, Wis
consin, Iowa and Minnesota. With
two weeks more of the present condi-
tions the trade and commerce of the
country will be experiencing akin to
their old time boom.
