The World of Business

The bulls were still in control yesterday
in Wall street. During all the morning
prices were advancing, and especially in
the industrials, which seemed to have more
or less recovered from the scare over the
Lexow investigation. The advance on
Tuesday forced the shorts o cover, and the
further advances yesterday are attributed
principally to this cause. Though there
were some recessions from the morning
prices during the afternoon, the market
closed strong and steady, with an average
gain over the close of the day before all
along the list. The Cretan scare has en-
tirely lost its effect, apparently, and other
causes for better prices are making
themselves generally felt. 1t is conf
IDENTIFY predicted by most people that
prices will be better than yesterdays be-
fore Inauguration, and that today VIII
see some advance.

the corner of Custom House and
Franklin streets, which is patronized
by negro roustabouts and immoral
women and is notorious in New
Orleans.
These are the character of men to
whom it is proposed to entrust the
most important federal offices in
Louisiana. AS naval officer of the port
of New Orleans, Demas would have
charge of the intricate system of book
keeping of the custom house and he
would act as a check" on the col
lector. The nature of the check that
Demas would exercise over his friend
Wimberly, the dive keeper, may easily
be guessed.
PRESIDENT EMBARRASSED.
The president is not acting with
closed eyes but is acquainted with all
the facts in the case. Prominent citi-
zens of New Orleans have waited upon
him and Indignantly protested against
these appointments, declaring that they
would be outrageous, and many proofs
as to the character of the men have
been presented. One protest signed by
200 women, who say These men are
simply infamous in the sight of all
honest, decent and self-respecting peo-
pie
To two gentlemen who called at the
White House to demonstrate against
these appointments, it is said that the
president practically admitted that
Wimberly was not fit to be appointed.
but he stated that Mark Hanna de-
sired the appointments, and appeared
to be somewhat embarrassed by the
Hanna dictatorship.
HANNA'S POWER.
The course pursued by Hanna indi-
Gates that he exercises absolute con-
troll over the federal patronage. The
following remarkable letter was sent
by him TO the attorney-ge general of the
United States:
Washington, May 6. 1897.
To the attorney general-Dear Sir
This will introduce A. T. Wimberly.
whom l have recommended for the
coliectorship of the port of New
Orleans. and whom l consult concern
ing the patronage of Louisiana. 1 de-
sire you to know him. Yours truly.
NJ. A HANNA.
Thus it appears that Hanna proposes
to not only reward the ex-dive keeper
with the most lucrative office in
Louisiana, but intends to turn over to
him the whole patronage of the state.
To gentlemen who demonstrated
against these appointments, Hanna has
stated that while they might not be the
best men to appoint, they were the
only men he could get hold of to do
his work in Louisiana in securing
delegation for Mckinley, and if they
were good enough for their work when
they were needed, they were good
enough 10 be recognized for doing ii. If
their names were sent to the senate he
would fight for their confirmation.
In the face of the exposures that
have been made it is not believed that
Hanna viii force these appointments
upon the president, but the uncontra-
dicted story makes a tough indictment
of the Hanna administration.

You can carry the little vial of DR..
Pierce's Pleasant Pellets right in the
vest-pocket and it will not make even
a little lump. They cure constipation
One Pellet is a laxative; two mild
cathartic. One taken after dinner will
stimulate digestive action and palliate
the effects of over-eating. They act
with gentle efficiency on stomach, liver
and bowels. They don't do the work
themselves. They simply stimulate
the natural action of the organs them
selves. That is where they differ from
all other pills. That is what makes
them better than all other pills. You
don't become a slave to their use as
with other pills, because their help
lasts. Once used, they are always in
favor.
