For the WATcHMAN.
October.

In the rune of sparkling morning.,
In the simmer and haze OF noon,
In the shadows Of earlier twilights,
In the pale, cold beams q the moon
October's myriad voices,
Tenderly loving and low,
Whisper us Autumn's last mi ssage
As swift circling days come and go.
Rich colors from oak trees ar d maple
Rustic and hutter and fall,
While sumac and bran BILE and creeper
Drape brightly the broken stonewall;
Brown leaves are heaped In the hollows,
The freight Of each murmuring breeze,
Sad echoes of summer breathe softly
Thro' the aisles Of the naked trees.
The drowsy droniug of insects
Comes up from the sodden grass,
And the trlllng Of toads in the marshes
Is stilled as we dreamly pass;
The bright pinloned sprites OF or meadows
joys heralds, are lost to our view,
The first one in springtime to greet us
Now plaintlvely flutes an "adieu."
Deserted the haunts by the brookside,
Forsaken the wildwood and grove,
Winters silence is creeping upon us,
We mourn the blithe things that we love;
Yet radiant and regal October,
Thy virtue sincere we confess;
In fruitlon's bounty .heaped measure
IT'S thine with full gamers to bless.
GREEN MOUNTAIN MAYBE.

As To BOunties On NOxiOus Animals.

Viewed from the standpoint of the
sportsman who is not fox hunter, the
proposed law providing bounty on
noxious animals ought to pass because
the determination of foxes means the
saving of many ruffed grouse or partrid-
ges. Ga private preserves it is custom
any to have keepers to kill off such ver-
min as skunks and foxes, and marked
increase in game birds is the natural re-
suit. This is law which does not
particularly interest the fish and game
commissioners. Commissioner Tit
comb says he thinks the farmers know
more about such matters than he does,
and if they want the bounty law to
pass it will be because they believe it
necessary for their own protection.
This law has been in existence tor
years up to the legislative session of
1896 when it was repealed. The audi
tors books show that bounties amount
ing to $16,771.90 were paid during the
four years from May, 1892 to June,
1896, or an average of over 81 900 per
year. The following tables show these
bounties were distributed

In the year ended in 1894, $4,000
was paid for bounty on wolves; in the
year ended in 1895. $4,000 was paid on
panthers, and in the year ended in
1896, $1,000 was paid in bounties on
rat,lesnakes. The aggregate bounties
paid stand as follows
Two years ended May 1, 1894, $8,0l2 sc
June 80, 1896, $3.50 1O
Increase in last biennial period $746 30
If this expenditure should be put in
the form of an appropriation of $4,000
biennial y to be distributed among the
farmers who suffer losses, or even for
the purpose of DISCRIMINATING vermin
or noxious animals, is it likely that il
would pass?

WHEN the cattle commissioners be-
gan their work under the provisions of
the law of 1894 for suppressing tuber-
culosis there was a general disposition
to take down the shot gun when a
farmer caught sight of one of these
officials approaching his premises. AS
the work progressed under the judi
cious management of the commission
ers, change began to appear and later
on the farmers began to importune the
administrators of the law to come and
examine their herds. The commission
ers had more applications than they
could respond to, and now there is
such general unanimity Of feeling in
respect of the necessity and wisdom
of the law as it is, there seems
to be no sufficient reason for
making testing compulsory. Let well
enough alone, both as to the law in
its essential provisions and in the men
appointed to administer it. Any rad
ical change in the law or its officers at
this time would be uuwise. The infor-
nation THE WATCHMAN has pub
lished as to the practical working of the
law and the very satisfactory progress
made in extirpating tuberculosis, af-
fords convincing proof that the exist
ing status of the law and its admins
tration ought to be maintained.

The majority of persons find it hard to
realize that the body should be kept clean
inside as well as outside. Cleanliness of
the tissues within the body is as necessary
to health and comfort as cleanliness of the
skin. IL is necessary to dissolve the waste
material which otherwise would collect in
the body and remove it in the various ex-
cretons. These waste materials often are
actual poisons, and their retention is the
cause of many headaches, many rheumatic
pains, many sleepless nights and many at.

GEN. TRACY and Seth Low speaking

other similar evidences of the union in

candidates for the office of Mayor of

NONE of the proposed new offices
appear to have behind it stronger rea-
sons for it's creation than that of at
torney general. The license journals
are crying down the proposition to
create this office, and this goes to con-
firm the belief that an attorney gener-
al of the right stamp would bring great
er efficiency and uniformity into the
enforcement of the laws regulating
the sale of Intoxicating liquors, as well
as of all other lave. The license men
seem to be afraid of an attorney gen
eral.

STOCK MARKET INACTIVE.
Better Prices Ruled Than for the
Week Previous

New York, July 39.-The seeming indif-
ferent attitude Of the public toward the
market for securities and the compare
ticularly wheat, have been the principal
topics of discussion in and about the
stock exchange this week.
The consideration of these circum-
stances has induced a good deal OF pro-
fessional selling for both accounts. The
sellers have also advanced the view in
support of their position that the market
has not responded. as it should TO the
progress OF the American forces in the
West Indies and the overtures of Spain
for peace.
In spite of deterrent influences, the
dealings in stocks have been nearly twice
as large as last week, and larger num-
Der of issues have been dealt IN. The net
result of the trading is higher level Of
prices for nearly the entire list, and d
number of stocks are materially higher
than they were a week ago. The upward
movement has been easily accomplished
and appears not 10 have encountered any
obstacles.
The greatest possible activity in sight
Is in the West Indian trade. Stocks are
known TO be obviously low in that local
ity and with the gradual reoDening of
Cuba and Porto Rico TO American trade
and enterprise handsome returns may be
regarded as inevitable.
The Improvement in the bond market
has not been as pronounced as that in
stocks, still the dealings in bonds have
been somewhat larger than during the
previous week. They have been a little
better distributed and prices as rule are
higher ,,.-...,-,...
The showing of the market for securities
as a whole is certainly not a discoura ging
one in view of the circumstances noted
above 1t IS plain from what has taken
place that the people who spend their
business day about the stock exchange DO
not at present control the course of
prices, though they may make the ma
jority of transactions.
A quiet almost imperceptible absorp-
ton of securities is taking place, and the
prevailing rates for money, together with
the present condition and the prospects of
general business, furnish reasons for this
steady transfer of securities from specu-
lators 10 investors.
The weekly statement of averages Of
the associated banks shows the smallest
changes in many weeks. A loss in law
full money of only $1,000, co., all of 1t in
specte iudicases a virtual cessation of
payments to the Treasury on account OF
the new bond issue. The loans have been
increased nearly 1000 O00 and the two
changes noted very nearly offset each
other in deposits. In consequence the de-
crease in the surplus reserve IS only
little larger than in lawful money.
Today's market was redeemed from
stagnation by active trading in Brooklyn
Rapid Transit and United States Rubber
common, at rapidly advancing prices.
The remainder of the list was strong. but
net advances were recorded
only by few of the less active shares,
namely, National Lead, United States
Rubber preferred and United States
Leather preferred.
The close was in the main strong,
though very quiet. AS compared with the
final prices of last Saturday, the entire
list is higher
