ready to work at anything, at any
price, they concluded that the best
thing to do was to take what they
could get.

BRADsTREET's Commercial Agency
has recently made a close investiga-
ton Of business conditions in this coun-
try, and the result shows there is no
real revival of business. CONDENSED
results of interviews with representa-
tive manufacturers and merchants at
more than fifty important commercial
and industrial centres east of the
Rocky mountains show the demand,
except in few lines, to be less pro-
nounced than it was two months ago.
The same report says that confidence
is wide spread of a revival Of business
this fall. This same confidence, how.
ever, we may observe, has been talked
about for nearly year, and we are
beginning to lose confidence in conf.

Fill a bottle or common glass with
urine and let it stand twenty-four hours;
a sediment or settling indicates an I'M

urine stains linen it is positive evidence
of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and

A STORY comes from Washington
that the appointment of Mr.. G. B.
Hart, of West Virginia, as minister to
the United States of Colombia is part
Of a scheme which will rebound to the
great profit of Senator Elkins and his
friends. Mr., Hart, the story goes, is
to be the agent of syndicate which
is to get hold of the great rubber for
ests of that country, and as the uses
of this substance are constantly in
creasing, and prices are high, close at
tention to business at that end of the
line by Mr.. Hart will result in great
gain. Incidentally the United States
will receive share of Mr.. Hart S

Race Determination.

The managers of the Nashville Centen-
NAL exposition seem to have gathered
trouble about their heads, owing to the
reports circulated by the Afro-American
newspapers at Nashville, that degrading
determinations have been made relative
to the negro race. From all accounts the
managers are not so much to blame as
are the Tennessee laws, which regulate
railway travel and legally forbid negro
from riding in the same car with white.
This line of demarcation has caused the
most intense feeling, and the managers

point of rupture. The Japanese minister
has not attended the diplomatic recep-

weeks and may not do so until an un-
derstanding is reached.
1t is stated that he wrote Sherman a
note on the day of the signing of the
Hawaiian annexation treaty, asking what
he meant by telling him the previous
day that such an action was not in con.
temptation by the government. 1t is un.

A Hint From the Inside.

The man with little surplus cash and
a speculative tendency, says the Denver
Times, is ever grateful for pointers, es-
pecially if they emanate from the pro-
fessional observer and are known to be
dislnterested. For the benent of this
man-and his name is legion-we print
the views of Mr.. Frank M. Dick of Chi
cago, anent financial and commercial
conditions and prospects, which are as
understated:
"We are at the beginning of bull
market which nothing can stop. Wall
street sees and appreciates the better
times that the future will bring to the
business community, and it is discount
ing it, as it always does. At the time of
the Barring panic. in 1890, when prices
here in the street were falling and every
one was losing money, the merchants
and jobbers up town continued to do
good business. Tney said it was only a
Wall street panic; they felt no alarm
over it. Six months later the panic
reached them, and they have been COM
planning ever since. The same thing is
true today. Up to date the business
community has not seen any very won
derful improvement. But Wall street
sees it in the future. Six months from
now business men, finding that their own
business has improved, will come to the
conclusion that good times are at hand,
and they will come down to Wall street
and buy stocks. never considering for a
moment that the stock market has fore
seen and discounted what they have just
discovered. Then they will wonder why
they do not make money on their invest
ments

FINAL RETURNS.
The Special Grand Jury Completes Its Un-
finished Affairs

The Special Grand Jury Completes Its Un-
finished Affairs
The special grand jury at Denver ap.
pointed to look into the infamous elec-
ton frauds has handed in its final report
and with it an apology for not rendering
more complete one. The report opens
by saying:
indictments have been found against
number Of judges of election, and other
parties as conspirators, to defraud the
people of an honest count of the votes.
but we have signally failed to reach the
leaders and instigators of the frauds, as
every obstacle has been thrown in our
way, by the opposition of the combined
influences of oficeholders and politicians
TO prevent our obtaining the informa-
ton necessary to warrant an indictment.
Scores of witnesses have been before the
jury, and, upon examination, have failed
to disclose anything that would enable
the jury to locate the principals. The
lack of memory on the part of witnesses
is appalling, they being determined, at
all hazards, to shield the guilty parties.
There is very little doubt, however. IN
the minds of the jurors, as to who the
principal conspirators are.
"Our elections are fast becoming a
farce. When local politicians control
and manipulate the nominations of cor
rupt persons for office, and prominent
and influential citizens contribute largely
to their election, expecting to be bene-
fted thereby, it is time we looked for q
remedy"
It goes on to recommend certain
changes in the method and place of
keeping the ballot boxes and the exer.
else of more care in registration, and
concludes by saying:
at has also come to the knowledge of
the jury that number of crimes have
been committed at some OF the suburban
resorts. We therefore recommend that
the county commissioners furnish the
necessary financial aid to the sheriff to
enable him to close such places within
the county which are running in violation
of the law.
"The grand jury has endeavored to give
to every case presented fair and i'm
partial hearing, to see that none were
dealt with unjustly, and that offenders
against the law were brought to punish
ment.
"The jury has stood unanimous on
nearly all the cases under consideration
and no member of the jury has obstruct-
ed or attempted to Illustrate the will of
the majority in bringing to justice any
one.
I'm conclusion, the jury would suggest
that, in its opinion, SO long as the legal
representatives of the people are depend
ent upon those who manipulate elections
for their continuance in Office, just so
long will investigations by a grand jury
prove futile when directed against vio-
laters of the election laws"
