The Stock Market Looked Up 9 Trifie Yes

The Stock Market Looked Up Trifie Yes-
 terday.
 New York, July 16.-The stock mark ct, which dropped a trifle yesterday, was looking up a bit to-day. active se- curities closing strong and fractionally higher, while unusually somnambulent low priced stocks were aroused by a fair demand. The neagerness of the dealings, however, indicated but a lack of interest or oautiousness, If you will. Besides relterations of wheat prospects above the average there was further evidence of diversified foreign demand for our cereals denoting considerable shortage abroad and rather confirming the supposition that European require ments for our wheat will be enormous and promising remuneratiye prices for both crops.
 The unprecedented exports of mer- chandise for the year ending June 30, as set forth in the government report, was a. hopeful sign, as was the high prices current for active railroad stocks is accompanied by but little local 1iqui- dation. Prices tended upward in the early trading accompanied by some manipulation in certain cheap special ties. The bears received a facer when, during the afternoons dullness they sought to precipitate selling of the gen. eral list After a brief reaction the market steadied and about the best figures were attained in the late trad- ing.
 Some general inquiry for investment securities deprived the market of some of It's wonted professional appearance. Sugar failed to reflect uneasiness at the circuInstantial reports that there was a movement in the senate itself favorable to the house schedule, the stock vacil- lating within narrow range for so err ratio a security, and closing at a frac- tional advance.
 Louisville and Nashville rose 1M, | closing at the top, arbitrage houses selling small amounts on the rise. The advance of 2A In Pittsburg, c. c. and St Louis preferred, and the fractional rise in the common was occasioned by the June statement showing that the net profit had increased $125,203 over the same month last year. The rise of 412 per cent III LdSI LtlNtT 1dS was dC- counted for subsequent to the market s closing by an official circular announc- ing the purpose of the Equitable and East River Gas companies to unite as foreshadowed In these dispatches last night. Brooklyn Union Gas showed a sympathetic rise of point while Con- solidated Gas, the only company not eligible to come into consolidation, lost 8 fraction. American Spirits at- tracted attention by some activity and gained fractionally for the day. Other stocks that varied a point or more were Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Metro politan Traction, Ransalaer and Sara toga ?, Great Northern g. while Rubber preferred lost point
 Trading in bonds was in large vol ume, and there was no abatement of the aggressive strength that has mark ed the weeks trading. The aggregate sales were $2 120,000.

THE OUTLOOK.

Never in the history of the state was
the prospect for healthy administra
tion Of public affairs better than it il
today. Everything thus far justiiei
the confidence of the people in the
public servants that now hold the
reins of government at Topeka. They
have made no false step. AS might have
been expected, there is the usual rush
OF place hunters to worry the patience
Of state officers; but nothing like the
clamOrous thousands Of place hunting
republicans that logged the footsteps
Of Governor Morrill, and his staff.
Governor Leedy's message was a state
paper, rarely excelled by any executive
in the constellation of the union at any
time in history. 1t was received with
editorial comment, favorable or other
wise, by all the great dailies in the
metropolitan cities. The election of
". A. Harris to the United States
senate will stand to the credit of the
populist party for all time to come and
will do more to solidify the opposition
to the republican party than any event
Of the past could possibly do, and that
event alone is creditable TO the wisdom
and sagaCity of the Kansas Solons.
The republicans have but little to say
against Mr.. Harris and many of them
have the courage to applaud the selec-
ton. Every circumstance now attend
ing public affairs indicate the down
fall and retirement of the republican
party for all time to come. Less than
three months have passed since the re-
publican party was returned to power
to be in full possession on the 4th of
March to govern in national affairs for
four years. The people have learned
since the election from incontrOverti-
bic evidence that fraud and intimida-
ton was the means that returned them
to power. Intimidation and false
promises was used to secure the votes
of labOring men in all the states of the
union. With hundreds and thousands
of men, women and children starving
in the country, they are learning by
sad experience that the republican
party IS wholly unreliable. They see
the chosen leaders at Washington
shaping measures of legislation, the
tendency of which is to strengthen the
power of capitol and lessen the inhu.
ence of organized labor.
The field for populst work is
broadening in the fulfIlment of
prophecy and the people ara rapidly
learning that the Peoples party was
right in the beginning, that they are
right now and tho country's property
demands their en;hrunrmant.

EX-GOVERNOR LEwELLING opposes
the proposed resolution for submitting
the question of constitutional con-
ventioD, on what appears to be excel
lent grounds He says pass the lnitia-
tive and referendum resolution, and If
the people vote in favor Of that they
can secure vote on any question that
is desired, and the need of q constitu-
tional change will disappear. And
this will save all the tremendous ex-
pense of a constitutional convention.
Then if the referendum resolution
fails to pass there will be time enough
for constitutional convention.
The referendum resolution provides
that no general measure shall go
into effect for six months after its
passage, and if during that time
fifteen per cent of the voters petition
to have it submitted to a vote of the
people it shall be submitted at the
next general election.

THE recent cold spell has made its
record Of fire, destruction, suffering
and death. The mayor of Chicago
was one of the first to issue proclama-
ton for aid. He called for 800 00O
forthwith TO keep the 10000 or more
unemployed from freezing and starving
as the funds available from both city
and county were not sufficient to do
the work. Many other cities were
compelled to piece out their short
funds by charities. Then too, several
lrage destructive fires occurred while
the water was frozen up. Philadel
phia seems to have suffered most. The
great Wanamaker clothing house is
badly damaged and many other large
business houses and public buildings
suffered. Chicago was in the list but
not at the head as usual. Some of the
smaller towns are reported to have
been almost Totally destroyed. The
thermometer seems to have run lower
in the east than IN the states west of
the Mississippi.

THE news of W. A. Harlis' selec-
ton by the populist caucus for United
States senator came too late last week
for editorial comment. A few remarks
will not therefore, be ill-timed now.
Mr.. Harris has been central figure
in State politics for six years. He was
Senator PETERS strongest rival In the
caucus Of 1890. that gave him his nom
inatiOn. He is farmer with large
agricultural interests in Leavenworth
county, and as a breeder of fine stock
he has not superior in the United
States. Fine animals of his breeding
have gone almost all over the western
continent and to Europe. He is a fn-
ished scholar, and a man of wide expe
rience. AS acivil engineer he assisted
in the laying out and construction of
the Union Pacific railroad and ever
since has been identified with the
growth and development of the West.
He is man of easy manners, and the
gentlemanly bearing and dignity of q
son of the South, and with it is coup
led the Vigor and sturdiness of the
people of the West. He is facile and
fluent speaker, and in the Senate will
make up for the lack of character that
is so conspicuous in his colleague
Harris has not the masterful qualities
of an organizer End worker that Bret
denthal possesses, he has not the wit
and quaint individuality of Jerry Simp-
son, but he has culture, sense, practi-
cality, and is the best all round man in
the State.

THIS week is not too late to congrat-
Mate on the appointment of so good a
board of railroad commissioners. W.
N. Campbell of Stafford, one of the
members, is a man from the short grass
country and eminently fitted for the
place. He has by the press been desig-
mated as the radical member of the
board. This is not true Mr.. Camp.
bell has probably got his reputation by
his aggressiveness and persistency
in matters of railroad legislation.
But his legislative record shows him to
be reasonable, fair, and conservative
enough.

IGNATIUs DONNELLY calls the turn
on the Anglo-American arbitration
treaty scheme and points out the viii
lainy of it in a resolution instructing
the Minnesota delegation to oppose 1t
by all honorable means. The treaty
provides that the arbitration commits
sion shall consist of three judges from
the United States, three from Great
Britain and the seventh is to be King
Oscar of Sweden. Now In the event
Of dispute the American arbitrator
will stand by their government, the
British by theirs, and the dispute will
be determined by European monarch
whose bias is and always has been
against republic. Furthermore, the
grip of England on Swedish commerce
and industry is great as on any country
not an acknowledged tributary of Eng
land. An arbitration commission
called to meet each emergency is
vastly to be preferred to any such dip
lOmatic trap.

SENATOR HoAR is credited with
making pilgrimage to Canton to pro-

Sherman is losing his mind. Well, he

years be has shown no indication of a
higher order of intellect. If this indi.
Gates failing mind, then Washington
should be fenced in with stone wall

A SILVER senator FROM Delaware to
All the place of that illustrious old
turnkey, Thos, F. Bayard, will be quite
a happy relief. But such seems to be
the case. The regular legislature has
elected General Richard r. Kenney,
after a democratic caucus now in
action. Before his election he was not
called upon to declare his financial
position, but after bis election he
comes out square for free silver, 16 to
1, without foreign agreement. But
the republican rump legislature also
elected their boss, j. E. Addicks, who
will contest his seat.
