RCSIN ESS IMPROVEMENT.

The New York Tribune saws: lone
would need to be entirely blind to exist
ing events and conditions in order to take
a gloomy view of things at present But
perhaps there has never been time when
it was more necessary than it is now to
take notice of the exact meaning of the
records which business automatically
makes for itself. When stock transactions
are remarkably small last week only 735,-
600 shares, a gradual decline in prices
shows the patience of holders wearing out,
but steady and strong prices mean that it
is the spectators for decline whose
hopes are giving out.
The cool steadiness of holders, the dem
onstrated impossibility of soaring them
with even the most grotesque stories, end
ed in closing average of 1916 for rail-
road stocks, against $4S. 40 the week before
and the average advance for the last month
has been 81 go per share for the 60 most
active railroad stocks, and $l.15 per share
for the trust stocks. When holders so
ed with reports of the most sensational
sort, it is an evidence that they think
things ripe for an advance.
80 in the industrial world, which is by
far the most certain indication of future
conditions, when business is tagging and
waiting, and yet without any yielding in
prices, the prevailing confidence stands
the severest test.

THE BRUTAL FIGHT.

1t has been we'll said that the prize
fighter is survivor of savagery and a
blot on our civilization. Strange it is
that there should still be such unnatu-
raj and brutal tastes prevalent in a
Christian country. The corrupting
influences of such exhibitions rs that
which took place at Carson City ON
Wednesday are very widespread. All
the details are published in the news
papers, and the young as we'll as the
old read them. That young minds are
deeply impressed by accounts Of brutal
ity and viciOusness, cannot be queS-
toned. Perverted tastes are formed
and rapidly develop, so that characters
that might become manly and noble
are led step by step to admire and final
ly to initiate those who give up their
lives to immoral practices.
Bodily strength and physical cour-
age are commendable, but both can be
cultivated without the aid of the prize
ring and its corrupting influences.
The Prince George's enquirer and southern Maryland advertiser. (Upper Marlborough, Md.) 1882-1925, 1897-03-19

The New York HrnM expresses APP
proval of the view taken by the Hon.
Isidor Straus, a democratic Represen-
tative from that city in the Fifty-third
Congress, when he says in the columns
of that paper: I'm voting for Mr.. Nc
Kinley we thought we were denounc-
ing free silver. We were prepared to
have change in the tariff along mod
crate lines, but the cry of those who
looked after their own individual inter
csts seems to have overwhelmed the
ways and means committee and they
have lost sight entirely of the rights
of the millions of consumers through
out the country and of the hundreds
of thousands of democrats without
whom Mckinley would not have been
elected"

The Baltimore Neus says: The re-
suit of the reassessment in Garrett,
Prince Georges and few other coun-
ties has shown the need of an equali-
zation of the Maryland taxable basis,
but, on the whole, the reassessment is
disappointing to those who called for
it so loud and SO long. The poorer
COUNTIES, whose taxpayers claimed that
they bore an undue share of taxation,
while Baltimore City and their wealthy
sisters esca ed their proper contribu-
ton to the support of the Government,
are the only ones in which increases of
any magnitude have been shown. In
