BUSINESS GRoWING ouLLeR.
And the immediate O1'Io * for GEN

New York, July 3.-R. G. Dun g.
Co.'S. Weekly Review of Trade which
issues tomorrow will say:
Current movements have been so
largely OF a temporary character or
else purely speculative on the day bv-
day plan that they are not highly in
structive. Thus an extensive shut
down of cotton mills is solely in the
hope that half production in July and
August may clear largely over-stock-
ed market. Stock fluctuations were
still more ephemeral, including two
sharp declines and partial rallies with
in a week, both laboriously ascribed
TO various political causes, but mainly
due to keen operators who saw
chances for a quick turn.
Extended views of the half wears
operations in leading branches of man
ufacture go far to explain numerous
stoppages. In woolens they are with
out concert, mills waiting for orders.
the sales of wool having been not a
third of last years for the same week.
Prices are depressed, but still de-
pend on foreign possibilities. In cot
ton goods the closing of many mills,
both North and South, for half of
July and August, is in effect a rec
ignition of the fact that heavy stocks
of goods, manufactured from cotton
costing ~ and So cents could not
be expected to show profits if the mills
go on manufacturing until a new and
probably and heavy crop of cotton is
ready. The reduction of prices has
brought out a large demand in many
cases, but not enough to meet the out
put of the mills. A further decline in
print cloths to 2b cents is significant
when such a decrease in production is
assured.
The output of iron has largely de-
creased and there is a quite general
stoppage of works for repairs.
Wheat declined "a cents and recover
ed IA cents, but western receipts con-
tinue remarkably large-2, AL, 719
bushels against 841, $40 last year for the
same week Atlantic exports show
similar increase and, for five weeks.
-four included. have been 9,S47,67S
bushels, against 1855, 427 last year
The stocks in sight are greater than a
year ago and though winter wheat
yields less, spring wheat seems likely
with fair weather, to yield more than
last year. Corn promises remarkably
well, and also oats.
Cotton greatly needs rain in parts
of Texas, but the best of reports come
from most other sections, and large
increase in acreage is generally re-
ported. The closing of many mills,
both North and South, causes another
decline of a sixteenth in the price, and
proves that past consumption has been
to a considerable extent unreal.
Failures for the week have been 257
in the United States against 167 last
year and % in Canada, against "a last

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.

New York, July .-Bradstreet's to-
morrow will say:
General trade in both commercial
and industrial lines is duller, but the
falling is, in part, the usual midsum-
mer dullness. Comparatively few
changes are noted but most of them
are decreases in either price or de-
mand. Quotations for wheat, Indian
corn, oats, cotton, iron and steel are
lower. Sugar has reacted after the
decline last week; leather remains
conspicuously firm, with shoe facto-
ries busily employed, and petroleum
and anthracite coal higher. The senti-
ment of the trade at many points is
that the immediate outlook for business
is not favorable. At some western CEN
ters complaint is made. that the pur
chasing power of the agricultural
community is curtailed by prolonged
low prices for farm products.
The general industrial situation
shows no renewal af activity. Cotton
mills treasurers, controlling 100000
spindles, have agreed to curtail pro-
duction. A large amount of WOODEN
machinery remains idle, and the iron
and steel industries are as fiat as here

And now some of those who gave up their jewelry at Old Orchard, Maine, are trying to get it back again. A minister and a female helpmate suc- ceeded in working an audience into such frenzied state that they threw their jewelry, pocketbooks, every thing of value at the feet of the able exhorter, until s1O1,5O0 were gathered up and quickly and safely secured. It is alleged that the speaker, Rev. Dr. Simpson, eXerted a hypnotic influence over the 10000 people present, and this charge will come up in the courts at Boston. It is a unique question and will be of interest to follow At the same time, if it is proven that hypno- tism did enter into the collection ex- ercise, we think Dr. Simpson is en- titled to the results of his labors.

ARE YOU A REPUBLICAN?

Recently at Cleveland, Ohio, two Republican judges of election appeared to be sworn in. They swore that they were Republicans, but that they would not vote for Mckinley. After they had qualified they told the officers about their intentions in order to find out .if an intention to vote for Bryan constituted a change in politics.
 They were assured that if they could conscientiously answer ives" to the question: 'iAre you a Republican in politics?" that the intention to vote for a Democrat was not disqualification.
 This interpretation is in keeping with good sense. If belief in the prin- ciples long asserted and advocated by party constitutes one member of that party then so long as he adheres to those principles why should he an- swer other than ives" when asked if he is still of that party? Principles are the foundation of a party. If at any time any member or number of members change mind as to that foun- dation, he or they place themselves on the outside of the party If all change but one and he still holds aloft the flag of the organization then he con- stjtutes that party, and can answer "yes" sincerely and honestly to the question propounded.
 Fealty to principle is the backbone of party. The member of party who will repudiate the principle that caused the organization of his party is not a man to be trusted with the safe keep ing of his party, and it may be ac- cepted as an indisputable proposition that he is in it for pie only.
 Just now parties and principles are running wildly in a disordered condi- tfon. The man who manages to stick right where he has always been, on principle, will have less of explanation to make hereafter when the scattered hordes begin to flock back to the or sginal standard. Some, perhaps. most of them, should be accredited with honest purpose, but a large number of them will never live down the sus- pieion that they were actuated by the hope of reward when they deserted their flag in the midst of the hardest battle with their foe.
 No man today need say that he is not 8 Republican simply because he is tor the free coinage of silver. When asked the question: Are you a Re publican in politics?" answer up bold ly and fearlessly, "Yes, I am a Repub- lican.' The fact that you are for the the free coinage of silver shows you tc be a better Republican than he who dares challenge your fealty. The fact that you stand by the constitution

OSCAR ROGERS.

The Journal-Miner is the only paper in the territory we have seen that is desirous of the hanging of Oscar Rog CTS. The Republican would lift it's voice loud and vigorous against any attempt to free the man for an instant of his life from the restraining walls of a penitentiary, and the hardest kind of labor enforced upon him would draw from US no expression of sympathy.
 What we do contend is this: The statute under which he was convicted and sentenced to the death penalty has never been passed upon by the su- preme court. The afirmance of the judgment of the court below has not come down in the form of written opinion even. The consistency of that statute is question of grave doubt in the minds of every attorney who has read it. The fact is before us in all its magnitude that Rogers shed no blood, deprived no fellow being of life, caused no bodily injury to hu- man being while he was pursuing an act in contravention of the laws of the land, and neither was there brought out in his trial any evidence showing such intent. .F. ft He committed an assault upon an inanimate timing, and this the law says is a crime punishable with death. We cannot bring our mind to the belief that legislators ever intended that the protection of an inanimate object was Of more importance than the protec- tion of a human being, and who can point out to us single statute mak- ing an assault upon a human being punishable to such an extent as does this where a locomotive and train of cars is assaulted?
 If death, no matter how, follows as result of such an assault, we'll and good, the law and penalty cannot be too stringent or too quick, or too far reaching as to punishment. But where no death, no injury, no molestation worthy of note occurs, then we say, and we say it emphatically, that the law of compensation as set forth in this statute is horribly inconsistent, and contrary to all the better dictates of civilization and Christianity.
 By all means throw around the modes of travel all the safeguards necessary, but stop short where you attempt to put the locomotive and cars in advanced importance to man him. self.
 'An eye for an eye, and a tooth fol a tooth" Carry it out to its fullest and farthest reach and it will brand the hanging of Oscar Rogers with the crime of murder, let who will take the responsibility. | For one we unhesitatingly declare that we would not, for the value O.
