The race question has made it's
appearance in Alton, Ill. Some
time ago the school. board Of that
city determined TO establish sepa.
rate schools for the whites and ne
groes, and In accordance with this
determination built ch00l.hOuses
for the negroes. The negro patrons
refuse tn send their children to the
school built for them and insist on
the privileges Of schools attended
by white children. A few days ago
the negro contingent attempted TO
take the white school by force and
it was necessary to invoke the aid
OF the police to keep them out.
Now the matter is in the federal

1t is easy to make money when
all conditions point to a return OF
real and continued prosperity.
What are the facts?
We have q conservative admin
istration. The country will be
governed in fairness to the inter
ests of businessmen. The tariff
question is settled. The political
situation is such that nothing adj
verse can be done with the cur
rency for three years. Liquida-
ton is finished. Leading papers
in Europe recognize the deficiency
of their crops. The United States
is the only country in a position
to furnish necessary supplies.
Exchange has dropped sharply.
Securities have advanced hand
somely. Reactions are natural,
healthy, and to be expected.
The market declined this week
from one to three points, but
promptly recovered, and is now
advancing.
In the great period of business
revival from 1879 to 1881, when
money was dearer, securities sold
much higher.
Strong people may combine to
sell the market down to accumu-
late cheap stocks, but the future
is bright with promise, and III our
opinion, all good securities are a
purchase.
There rarely comes an occasion
so favorable for the making OF
money.
