DUN'S WEEKLY REVIEW,
Volume of Business Revlves ut the
Confirmation of tho War.

New York, May Pr. G. Dun G. Co. 5
| weekly review of trade will say in to-
mOrrOW's issue:
The nation faces war with reviying
volume of business. The west is doing
its part and more but at the east also
the volume of business is now expand
ing. Without abatement in any inn
nortant line, the great outgo of wheat
ana corn continues to stimulate bust
ness at the west, and railroad earnings
all show an increase over last year
This is largely because Of the enor-
nous movement of bread stuffs. At
lantic exports of wheat flour included,
have been 3,726,442 bushels for the week
against l 1885, COZ last year.
In four weeks exports from the At
lantic and Pacific coasts have been H.
G9l,S7f bushels, against 5,7O4,334 last
year.
Starting this month with the greatest
consumption ever known in iron indus
try, it has made surprising progress in
new orders, which reached about 100, =
900 tons in bars alone. over sc, 900 hav-
ing been placed at Chicago and 5000
at Wheeling, mainly resulting from the
| extraordinary demand for agricultural
implements.
Heavy contracts for a structural
work, including some from New York,
which have depended on action of the
city government, amount during the
week at least $1,000 tons, which others
reported at many western cities. Plate
contracts, outside Of the heavy demand
for the government, are very large and
include $500 tons for ship yards in
Glasgow and Belfast. Many structural
and bridge contracts at the west are
pending with probability of large or
ders during the coming week. a bet
ter demand appears for textile goods,
with slight advance i'm print cloths and
a substantial gain in sales of staples.
Failures for the week have heen 245
in the United States against PA last
year, and p in Canada against 22 last
year,

From a Staff Core spondent.
Camp Alger, May 27-The corps re-
view this morning was a magnificent
spectacle. Twelve thousand soldiers
massed in one field and then march
ing in company front for an hour and
five minutes past General Graham
and his staff was what the spectators
beheld. While many of the companies
were but poorly equipped and made up
in no small measure of recruits, they
made an excellent showing and tomor-
row when they will appear before the
president in full uniform and equip
mcnt and with the practice of today's
review, it is safe to predict that the
commander-in-chi will be moved to
the utterance Of warm encomums.
The Thirteenth was the ninth COM
pany in the line, occupying the left OF
the Third brigade, instead of its en-
titled place, by reason of the juniority
of the commander, Major Stillwell.
Colonel Coursen looked and acted every
inch a brigader as he rode at the head
of his command, attended by his brig
adc staff, composed Of Assistant Adju-
tant- General L. c. Mates, Lieutenant
l.. V. Rausch, Eighth, Pennsylvania,
quartermaster; Lieutenant II. II. Rus
sell, Twelfth, Pennsylvania ordnance
officer; Captain Henry NJ Coursen, aide
de camp.
Tomorrow afternoon at o'clock the
review by the President and Secretary
Alger will take place. The scheme to
hold the review in the big field a mile
and a half to the east of the camp, to
which the Thirteenth was building cor
duroy reads yesterday, has been aban-
doned and orders issued directing it
shall take place on the division plot
whore today's practice review occurred
a reviewing stand was today erected
for the president and his party.
The Fourth. Missouri, arrived today.
and the Twenty-second, Kansas, and
the Seventh, Illinois, are expected to-
night. This will increase the soldiery
for the review to 1900.
Brigade Surgeon Parke was today in
formed by Surgeon General Girard of
his nomination for the position of chief
surgeon of the division hospital, with
the rank of lieutenant colonel
Colonel Girard announced today that
it is his intention to accept only priv
ates on the hospital corps. This means
that the chief hospital stewards must
submit to a reduction in rank or quit.
The movement has started a revolt
among the stewards which is liable to
call for war department adjudication.
There is much speculation here this
evening as to which one OF the newly
appointed brigadiers will be assigned
10 the command of the Third. GoNral
Goblin, it was thought, would come in
for the command, but as predicted In
yesterdays Tribune, he was totally ig-
rored by the president. General Wylie
it is understood, is to be left in Penn
sylVania to organize a brigade of the
second body of volunteers.

PART NUMBER TO-"

The speaker then dwelt upon what
he termed part number 10 of the Quay
political machine that rules Pennsyl-
vania," and said lit is the political
manipulation of the great sums Of
money given by the state for eduCa-
tional, benevolent and charitable pur-
poses"
pennsylvania" he continued, zap
.propriates more than $24,O00OO0 every
two years for the running expenses of
the state government, the public
schools and charities. Every dollar of
the vast expenditure must pass be-
fore the appropriation committees of
the senate and house. These commit
tees are always Quay political organ
izations. Membership is dictated by
Senator Quay himself, and their known
subserviency to his will is responsible
for the selection of majority of both
committees each session."
Following details on this line Mr..
Wanamaker dwelt at length on the
motives that induced him to become a
candidate and said:
IF / have not succeeded in gather
ing delegates that will stand for me
in the state convention, / certainly
have presented startling and uncon-
troverted facts that will stand against
Quayism in the future. I was must
cred into serve until June 2, and if
the battle is not then won l promise
you that I shall enlist again, not for a
time, but until the war Is ended"
In conclusion he addressed himself
to Senator Quay finishing with ire
member the will of 100000 people
should be paramount to that of one
man-remember that Boss Tweed and
John Y. McKane We're thought in
vulnerable a few months before they
went down-rcmember the parable of
the pitcher that went to the we'll once
too often, and that it was the last
straw that broke the camels back, and,
above all, that the voters of PennsyI-
vania are not decrepit slaves, but Wig
orous freemen abundantly able to sink
any fleet they train their guns upon" ."

YOUNG IDEAS.

Willie, aged T. had a new baby brother.
The FIRST time he saw him he walked
around him two or three times, viewing
him critically, and asked; Say, mamma,
what did that kid say when the barber
sheared all his hair off?"
Harry, aged ), was reading aloud to his
mother about a ship and came across a
passage saying: And she steamed down
the river" "Why IS ship called she,
Harry?" asked his mother. We'll, | guess
It's because she has to have d man to
boss her." was the reply.
"Oh, papa exclaimed little 4-year-old
Ned, "look what a bright star" "Yes,"
replied the father and it is three times as
large as our earth" "Oh, no, it isn't, p"
said Ned why do you doubt it?" asked
his father. Because If it was It would
keep the rain off" was the logical reply.
Little 3-yeaT-old Bessie was watching
her mother drive a nail one day, when
the latter accidentally bruised her thumD
and exclaimed "Oh, my gracious!" "Nhy
did 'ou say Zat?" asked Bessie. "I don't
know. What should ! say?" quericd her
mother. We'll" said Bessie, after a mo-
ment's reflection. lou might say .e
'mandments."
The little 4, year-old daughter of a min
lister was visiting, and at dinner found

and bowling her head, repeated Nov I

done, she raised her head and, waving
her hand to the carver, said, Now you

Phoenixville Pa. May 27. - John
Wanamaker tonight made his final
speech of the campaign at this place.
1t was the siXty-seventh he had made
in space of one hundred and seven
days. He began by referring to the
united north and south in the face of
a common enemy and continuing, said:
These are times to lift ourselves
above partisanship or factionalism and
stand shoulder to shoulder in the bright
sunshine of American patriotism. We
will rejoice and be thankful together
in the success of our army, our superb
chicftain, that Green mountain boy,
Admiral Dewey, and all officers who
bear noble and honorable part in pre-
serving our national honor"
Mr.. Wanamaker then spoke upon the
natural advantages of Pennsylvania
and it's possibilities of prosperity, and
said: For a quarter of a century or
more it has been more ground down
by rule of political bosses, bossinE
in their own interest the enactments
of laws and the appointments of their
administrators, injuring general busi-
ness by placing into the hands of corr
poratiOn givers, who naturally become
beneticiaries Of the bosses, burglarized
through appropriation bills, padded in
more ways than by augmented pay
rolls, stifled the patriotic life of her
best young men by open rewards to
unprincipled henchmen like the miners
committee hairman-Saylor-an in
surmountable barrier raised against
independent thought or action"
He next called attention to his let
ter of accentanCe and said he believed
the day of delivercnCe from political
ring rule was at hand. Referring to
the legislature of last year, Mr.. Wana-
maker said
You take one step into it and you
are in for a long walk if you want to
go to the end of as black a chapter as
was ever written in any states his
tory"

EASTERN SHORES FINE CROPS.
Farmers sny HOstiIities Will Help
Their business.

Baltimore, Nd, May 27.-Four hun
dred eNcursionists from the Mssyand
and Delaware Peninsula spent today in
Baltimore. They came by the Queen
Annes railroad and steamboat Farm
ers and editors Of the Eastern Shore
counties with the party say that the
crop prospects on the Shore We're never
better.
The yield Of the orchards, peaches
and other fruit, promises to be greater
than that of last season. The good
price for wheat will enable many of the
Eastern Shore farmers who have been
embarrassed Ia get on their feet again.
1t was the general belief that the war
had benefited business.

MIXING THE ISSUE PLaIN.

HE object of the silver men in taking up the
 Teller resolution in the Senate to prevent
 any attempt at financial legislation in the House at this session. They intended to serve notice that no currency reform bill could be passed hoping thereby to discourage the advocates of sound and lead them to leave the money question vague and uncertain until after the coming Congressional cleo tions.
 Although the scheme cunningly devised and boldly carried out 1t seems now if the object de- sired would be defeated by the very means adopted to attain it. The Teller resolution so far from dis couragng the champions of national honesty and sound finance, has reused them to action We are likely than ever to have financial bill passed by the House at this session. Public sent- ment in favor of such action is increasing and will continue to increase the importance of the issue becomes better understood by the country
 In his bold, direct and mastery speech before the National Association of Manufacturers President Mckinley urged immediate action with the vigor and force of a true leader. Under existing conditions" lie said, our citizens cannot be excused if they do not redouble their efforts secure such financial legislation will place their honorable intentions be- yond dispute. All those who represent the great conservative and business interests of the country owe 1t not only to themselves, but to the people, to insist upon the settlement of this great question now CT else face the alternative that 1t must again be sub :nitted for arbitration at the polls.'
 After these words the Chandlers and Wolcotts of the party will in vain attempt delude the people into the belief that there is divergence of opinion between the President and his Secretary of the Treas try. MT. Gage himself has never so warmly or more strongly spoken for honest money and immediate action. The President 1t is clear, understands the meaning of the great victory of 1896 and is eager to go forward and present to the country bill that will make the issue plain and leave doubt as to which party will assure the stability of our money and the involabty of our national obligations.
 The Call has contended from the first that the bat tie for financial reform should be aggressively fought at this session of Congress. It noted with regret the apparent weakening of the sound money forces at the assembling of Congress, and has been pleased to see their ardor increase the session progresses Since the President has spoken so clearly and so for cbly for immediate action 1t is hardly possible there can be much further delay.
 Surely Congressman will heed the words of the President: Whatever effort is required to make the settlement of this question clear and conclusive for all time we are bound in good conscience to under take, and If possible to realize. That is our commits son-our present charter from the people,
The San Francisco call., 1898-02-01

honor It therefore behooves all good citizens to get ready to take active part in the contest and the best way to do that is to organize in strong socations Tn order to with the greater force and more effectiveness
 The League of Republican Clubs is one of the best associations formed in the history of our politics. The league represents no particular can dldate, and has personal interests to advance It IS formed solely for the purpose of bringing stanch Republicans together and enabling them to work in unison and harmony for the maintenance at the polls oi the great political principles and legislative po- cles which the Republican party represents and to which all other parties are opposed
 The value Of the league has been attested by the arduous proof of service rendered. The Republican convention ot this State said in its platform at the last campaign: We lndorse the work of the Ma tional League and the efforts of our young to make 1t potent factor in prosecuting vigorous and successful campaign in this State" President Mckinley also has spoken of the value of the league to the party and has borne witness of its services to genuine Republicanism.
 No argument urging should be needed to in- duce all active Republicans to ally themselves with the State League and through it with the National League by organizing local clubs and taking part i'll the proposed State convention. This work should be undertaken at once. It is not an easy campaign that IS before the champions of sound money The recent vote the Teller resolution in the Senate shows that body to be under control of the silver hatists They will make determined effort to gain control of the House in the Congressional elections t,is year and the Presidency in Iooo Against such opponents the Republicans must be watchfu of every lo,nr of the contest: The duty of the hour is to organize Let every Republican join the league and prepare for the battle.

social hall was the scullery, and just out side of this came the pantry. Adjoining the latter was little snuggery adapted for peaceful smoke in seclusion. Oppo- site the scullery was to be the cabin stores, consisting largely of the kind con- tained in bottles, and next to 1t came a stateroom with bathroom attached osten- sibly for the commanding officer, which latter, however, would have to bunk else where when the gunboat was on a yacht ing cruise.
 The arrangement as whole offered all the comforts that could be expected in a war vessel utilized for yachting pur poses, the stateroom referred to and the little cabin away aft being reserved for his excellency as sleeping quarters and where affairs of state could be discussed or stirring stories of duck-hunting and trout fishing could be told.
 The twelve berths in the Social Hall which could be converted into as many temporary staterooms, gave promise of real good time while cruising, for only a select dozen of guests would sleep on board. When in port there would be no difficulty in getting thirty-six more tenn porary guests to sit down to a dinner, but the little table could always be sure

THE SCHOOL SCANDAL.

l. A investigation of the methods and practices oi / the School Directors in administering the de E. = partment will be welcomed by the people, and II the Grand Jury undertakes that will be thor ough, comprehensive and searching it will have gen eral approval " Y. .:"= ;. =
 It matters whether there is any foundation for the alleged scandal or not School investigations are always in order. We never can have our School Department too eean and every Grand Jury is ex- pected to try its new broom in making as good a sweep as possible from one end oft to the other.
 It IS of course desirable that public officials should not be harassed by incessant charges and nvestiga tons Nevertheless, as general rulewherever there IS a scandal or wide rumor of evil an examination should be made The public schools should be free from all taint of corrupt practices and School Director should be ready and willing at all times to assist any official investigation into any ycharges made on good authority either against the School Board as whole. or against some particular member of it.
 In all cases of this kind, however the investigation should be radical and far reaching: It should seek out the authors of the charges we'll the officials against whom they made. Ii: ali accused official IS found innocent the examination should stop at his acquittal The guilty should then be put on the rack and exposed sanderer, if he cannot be otherwise punished
 The recent school scandal in Los Angeles is case in point. Grave charges were made there against member of the School Board, and he found no de- fender among the newspapers of his city. He could rot get hearing for his side the case until The Call, moved by sense of justice and fair play gave him chance to defend himself in written statement He was seemingly condemned in ad- vance, and yet when the evidence brought out in full he confounded his accusers and left some of them without even fragment of any good reputation they may have previously enjoyed.
 In the Los Angeles case victory was won for jus tice and honesty in the School Board by the earnest ness with which The Call sought not only the truth, but the whole truth In that instance not only were the innocent acquitted, but the guilty were morally convicted. similar method should be pursued by the Grand Jury if it makes charges that call for an investigation Of the School Board here. Let us have no half measures. Let have the whole truth thoroughly made known that no guilty man will escape, whether be be the accused or the accuser
