WHAT 1T DOES NOT EXPLAIN

The European crop shortage explains
one thing-the high price of wheat Ana
that is all it does explain. II does not
explain the fact that no bonds nave
been issued, burying the country deep
er in the grave which Grover Cleveland
dug. 1t does not explain the favorable
agitation for International bimetalllsm
which has England by the ears at this
time. 1t does not explain the consterna-
ton in Spain at this very moment over
the vigorous language and demands OF
one Of President McKinley's ministers
IN behalf of freedom-loving Cuba III
does not explain the absence al thls
very minute of a congress sitting there
In Washington, driveling and snivehnS,
and dallying the hours and Gays ana
months away over tariff questions, I'M
poverishing the country and stagnatlng
business. 1t does not explain the whirr-
ing of reopened mills, the restocking OF
stores. the increased bank clearlngs, the
manifested everywhere in all businesses
1t does not explain the activity III every
department in Washington, the bust
ness like. sagacious activity Of patriotic
statesmen-the work Of General AiSer
in behalf of our citizens pressing on
through Klondike's ice and snow-the
work of General Gary in drafting bill
for the institution of postal savings
banks for the people-the work OF John
Sherman in bringing Great Britain up
standing in regard TO the seal question.
-.the work of Secretary Long IN I'M
proving and reinforcing the navy-the
work of Secretary Bliss in entering up
on a comprehensive and intelligent
management of the interior-the work
of Secretary Wilson in Introducing
American products 10 foreign markets.
In a word. the foreign crop shortage
does not explain the wonderful change
that has taken place in this country in
the marvelously brief space of six
months.
Out Of the chaos Of incompetency
commercial disorder, imbeCile manage
ment and criminal official carelessness
that marked the closing months of bond
issuing Grover Cleveland, there has
sprung a brisk, swapping. lively condi-
ton of business. II is felt all over the
country. Everywhere there is more
business than politics. Every man at
his post there in Washington is doing
his duty, and doing il, not for politics,
but for business Tom Reed made en-
emies by his course In pushing tariff
through without debate, but he made
business. John Sherman when he fore
ed the Ruiz indemnity out Of Spain was
not fishing for Spanish votes when he
did 1.-THE was doing it as a business
man would do ii. General Alger, when
he sent relief within twenty-f0ur hours
10 the food sufferers of the Mississippi
valley, was not contemplating winning
the electoral vote of any southern state
he was simply doing the business of
his Office, and doing it promptly, as
business man would.
Shortage in foreign crops does not ex-
plain these things. But one thing does
explain them-the fact that the Repub-
lican party is the party of business first,
last and all the time.

HEARING ON PETITIONS.

At the Street Committees Meeting Last
 Night -Recommendation to be Made
 November 23.
 The committee on streets last evening gave hearings on several petitions but took no definite action in regard to any. The committee adjourned to Tuesday, November 2S, when an executive ses- sion will be held on the evening at which the petitions will be considered and recommendations adopted to be presented to the court of common coun- cil.
 Hearings were held last night on the following petitions: For sidewalk on Lawrence street, south side, between Orange and Livingston streets; for curb on upper State street, of McCus- ker & Schroeder. ct al., for extension of Commerce street; of Thomas Donnelly, ct al., for removal of obstructions on Middletown avenue: of Charles F. Root, ct al, for the hardening of Goffe street; of P. F. Delaney, ct al.. for concre te walk on Grace street; of T. D. Simpson, ct al., for a sidewalk on Union avenue; of H. P. Gill, ct al, for hard ening Wooster Place; of Cornelius Schmidt, ct al, for sidewalk on Mid- dletown avenue, and of P. F. Delaney, ct al., for sidewalk on Grace street.
 The following gentlemen appeared to oppose the extension of Commerce street: Edward Mccarthy Joseph Ar gyle, James S. Wheeler of the B. s. Wheeler Co.,, George S. Hotchliss, J. D. Keleher, Andrew Murtagh and G. L. John s. Cannon and w. H. Garde ap- peared in favor of the proposed exten- sion- The following gentlemen whose favor the extension: w. J. Atwater, J. J. Sullivan, Henry Donovan, Jerome Donovan, Spargo Brothers, Robert vii son and l.. G. Hoadley.
 When this petition was before the committee a short time ago it was stated that the lease of the E. S. Wheeler Co. still had a long term of years to run. and that to buy up the lease in order to extend Commerce street would cost at least $5O,0O0. Mr. Wheeler stated last night, however, that the lease did not have so long a term to run as the committee had been led to SuppOSG.
 The estate of J. w. Bishop asks for d suspension of the order to curb the west side of State street from Bishops Gate to the city line, because it is all leSed that the order is inavlid. Attor- ney James P. Bree appeared last night to represent the estate. MT. Bree ex- plalned that portion of the property aouttlng on the street where the curb IS ordered, is owned by the city and the city must pay for the cost or the curb in front of the prop erty. He then held that as the order had been passd without any appropria- tlon to pay the city's share of the cost, 1t was invalid under the new charter, which provides that no orders shall be passed until appropriations are made.

PERSONAL JOTTINGS.

MT. Thomas O. Trefry, formerly pro-
 prletor of the drug store, now George
 A. Whitmore's, corner of State and Edwards streets. who sold out his busi- ness and returned to his old home, Yar-
 mouth, Nova Scotia, @ number of months ago, owing to the continued i'll ihealth of his wife, is in town for a stay of a few days. His stay is lim- tied, owing to the protracted i'll health of his father, Captain Trefry, one of the old and most reliable shipmasters and shipmen of Nova Scotia. Captain Trefry has been critically i'll, but is now more comfortable.
 Mrs. Cecil, wife of Captain R. G. Cecil, of Governors Island, who has been visiting Mrs. Stetson of Gamer street, for the past ten days. has re- turned. Mrs. Cecil was roommate of Mrs. Stilson's at Chegaray Institute, Phlladelphla, where so many New Ha- ven young women received their finish.
 Mrs. Robert Brown entertained about seventy-ffve of her friends at her home on Whitney avenue, Thursday night.

gain of small fraction. The low price for the day, which was 126%, was a new low point on the present movement. Sugar was easily the leader of the list in point of activity, and absorbed one third of the total dealings. The .coalers showed some strength on account of the cold snap. They were helped also by reports of restriction of output by individual companies. New Jersey Central led in this group and advanced at one time SA points, but closed at a reaction of about a point. Consolidat- ed Gas fluctuated wildly, rising points receding AZ and closing at net de- cline of 11a.
 Outside of these the market was with out particular interest. There was some continuance of the selling for Lon- don account, especially of St. Paul. and this was about the only unfavorable factor in the news of the day. The re- suit of the days tradings is to bring prices back to about the same level as that held before the very sharp decline of Friday last
 The upward tendency to-day in the general list was assisted by the contin- ued favorable character of railroad earnings reported for the first week of November. The increases were espe- cially marked in the returns of south- ern and southwestern roads, which are presumably affected by the heavy cot ton movement due to traffic now com ing forward, which has been delayed by yellow fever quarantine The South ern railway led in the movement with a gain increase of $62,470 over the cor responding period of last year, the per centage of increase being about seven teen. Central of Georgia, with an in- crease of $23,377, shows the higher per- centage of about twenty. The activity in the soft coal traffic is reflected in an increase of $48,66S, or over twenty-seven per cent, in the earnings of the Norfolk and Western, and of $18,50S, or over 100 per cent, in those of the Cleveland, To- rain and Wheeling.
 The days net gains are a point or over in some of the grangers and other prominent active stocks, and are nearly two points or over in the coalers.
 The bond market was moderately &C., tive at higher prices. The new Lake Shore 31a sold at 10514, the highest on record. The total sales aggregated s1,- 450, 900.

 The New Britain team has been SCOT ed on but once this year. while Hill-

house has been scored on several times and has been beaten twice. This, how ever, is owing to the fact that Hill house has been meeting very strong teams. while New Britain has only played weak ones.
 It is almost impossible to tell any thing about the comparative strength of the teams for this reason, but New Britain feels confident of winning, and Hillhouse is equally confident
