FINANCIAL NEWS

The market opened with bound this
morning, and IL looked as II everything was
going higher. For fifteen minutes the advance
continued, but after this the bulls lost their
grip ana prices sagged of except in spots. II
was not very active market and there was
little to encourage buying. except In Sugar,
which advanced on the report that the best
Washington houses had turned buyers What
strength there was TO the market was caused
by the knowledge that well informed people
have stated that prompt action is to be ta-
ken upon the tariff by Congress and that the
changes that have been made in the bill will
make it much more satisfactory in the bust
ness and financial circles.
London was apathetic again today. Consols
were strong at ll2 5-s, an advance of Is.
which makes the gain since last week full
point and while the American securities
were dull, they had good undertone and
several showed fractional advances. In New
York today the foreign houses had orders 10
buy about 5000 shares, chiefly consisting of
Louisville, st. Paul, Reading and New York
Central.
Manhattan continued 20 decline today, the
decision of the directors not 10 equip the
road with electricity having a very bad effect
upon the holders. as the stock had been pur-
chased on the belief thatlthe equipment of the
road with electricity would save not less
than per cent upon the stock in operating
expenses alone. De Cordova has been buying
Manhattan quite freely IN the past, but today
he turned seller, and il is believed that the
bottom OF the decline has not been reached.
The pessmistic feeling that prevails in re.
gard to all the Gould stocks extended 10
Western Union and Missouri Pacific, and the
latter reached the lowest point on record, 27s,
having broken from H. the opening price, on
scattered selling orders There seems 10 be
no support for the stock and IL continues to
sink slowly but surely toward the lower
levels.
Western Union selling is based upon several
good arguments i'm r~gard 10 It's decrease in
earnings, and the possibility OF a reduction
in divtden ~. Gradually tho earnings OF this
corr oratou are being cut down and the aggre-
gate earnings today show a deficit, whereas
at this time one year ago they showed sur
plus over all charges and dividends.
Price, in "A special dispatch to weeden,
Kendall a. Co., states that he has reason 10
believe that IN the new tariff bill agreed upon
the differential IN favor of Sugar viii be a Of
| cent, and this If true, should have an excel.
lent effect on the price Of the stock. The
strength Of Sugar was quite encouraging to
the bulls, just as the weakness OF the Goulds
pleased the bears. but the market was en-
tirey professional.

A GOLD BUG JUDGED DEFEATED

Judge Il. ID. Newman, of Shen-
andoah County was renominated,
in the Legislature, for the Judge
ship. His opponent, f. S. Tayen-
ner, Free Silver Democrat, was
unanimously elected. We believe
that Mr.. Newman received one
vote. 1t was stated, that although
Judge Newman worked and voted
for the State ticket last Fall, that
in 1896 he voted against Bryan,
and for Palmer and Buckner, and
his friends could not say what he
would do, should Free Silver he
the Issue in 1900. This ended it.
So it seem that Free Silver is some
what of a "test of Democracy" in
Virginia politics.

WHY THE DELAY2

The Legislature of Virginia, and

sentiment of very large maj ority
of the Democrats of this district

otherwise? Would it be consistent
to reward the men who fought the

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one pur-
pose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by ono or
two ways. The first way is from i'm
perfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local treat
ment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the blad-
der was created for one purpose, and if
not doctored too much is not liable to
weakness or disease, except in rare
cases. 1t is situated back of and yery
close to the bladder, therefore any
pain, disease or Inconvenience mani
tested i'll the kidneys, back, bladder or
urinary passage is often, by mistake,
attributed to female weakness or womb
trouble of some sort. The error is east
~ made and may be as easily avoided
To find out correctly, set your urine
aside for twenty four hours; a scdi-
ment or settling indicates kidney or
bladder trouble. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, the great kidney and bladder
medy is soon realized. If you need
a medicine you should have the best.

have edited the paper, some OF
them-most of them perhaps, were
men of strong and vigorous intel

all these years. SO far as we can
learn the banner of Democracy has
never Jailed to float from it's mast
head At some future time, if pos

tory OF the paper from Its birth.
We feel to thank our patrons of the
