Another painfully dull day disgusted
the traders in the stock market yester-
day. Santiago has gone for nothing in
influencing fluctuations. The talk of
peace is equally fruitless. There was
almost no commission buying and very
little room trading. One or TWO of the
specialties were dealt in and manipula ted
by their cliques. The reason for the dull
ness is a question generally commented
on. The experience of the past would
have suggested much business and boom
ing prices at the fall of Santiago. In
stead of this, the entire week during
which Skaters victory was consum-
mated and celebrated has been charac-
terized by a weak and uninteresting
market. Apparently the fortunes of the
war have no influence whatever. 1t
might almost be that the street had for
gotten it. In reality the war situation
has been discounted literally until the
| operators believe prices are amply high.
This accounts for most of the trouble.
The bears, too, are talking of the pros
| pect of lessenng railroad earnings. during
| the remainder of the Sumer and Autumn
! with much reason on this side. They
| took the decreased St. Paul earnings for
! the second week of July as a text yes
! terday and hammered out all the argu-
mentS possible 10 the erect that the
| same thing will be found in the
| other grangers and in the rail-
roads generally. AS far as the grang-
ers are concerned, there is excellent foun-
dation for these dismal suggestions. The
| wheat crop will be great, but prices will
not be as large as last Winters, and there
| will not be eager demand for it to
| make its transportation profitable. The
war is far from it's end in the opinion of
many, and it seems probable that none of
the railroads will do great business
| while it continues, despite the fact that
the country is confident of victory and
prosperity to follow.
Against these bear factors is the appar-
| ent intention of the Administration to
push the war vigorously. More victories
may come and quickly, 1t now seems
probable. Porto Rico cannot long hold
out. Watson will soon sail for the Span
ish coast. There is certainly large pos
sibility that the war news may stir the
market out of its lethargy. For time,
forsa week or more, probably. dullness
may be expected to continue. After that
there may be better things.

TWO VIEWS.

One Sunday during the month of De-

on public platform and proclaimed
that II Christ should come to Norfolk
lie would find the wlckedest city in tho
borders OF the Old Dominion: and went
on 10 draw up verbal indictment
against the community, charging
specifically sins and vices that no one
coTd ga.nsay or resist.
Last Sunday night, one no less dis
tinguished speaking from the pulpit
OF one Of our city churches. said that
he had passed In and out among the
people; he had met them In their
homes and observed them upon the
streets as they went up to the house Of
OF the Lord; and had formed the de.
liberase opinion that The religion Of
Jesus Christ has a stronger hold upon
the people generally than In any town
of the same population Of which he
had Knowledge, adding parenthe,ically
that If he were mistaken in hls con-
cluSlon, he had been mlsled by the
evidence that his eyes beheld.
Doubtless both were honest in ,he OK
preston Of their opinions. They had
simply locked n Norfolk from differ
ent standpoints. This city is like all
other cities: 1t is not wholly given over
to wickcdness Nike Sodom; neither Is il
an antdtype OF the New Jerusalem. On
the one hand, 1t has haunts OF vice,
dives OF iniQuisy and pitfalls for the
unwary. On the other hand It has
churches where the gospel Is preached,

. nm. MANNAELEorED.

3s The election OF Mark a. Hanna. by
the Legislature OF Ohio yesterday, to
succeed himself in the United States
Senate, occasions but little surprise to
those familiar with that gensleman's
mode OF conducting political cam
paigns. When It was made known that
two or three votes were necessary for
him ITO wtn the prize, few doubted that
he'd gather them In and the result has
shown the wisdom Of that conclusion.
BUT the contest was q bitter one, and
although MT. Hanna has succeeded in
being returned to his seat in the Sem
ate, 1t has left sores which will take
Yeas to heal. The fact that Mr.. Ham
ma has won will In no wise help to heal
the breach In the Republican party OF
Ohio on the contrary, It will but widen
it. At no time has the party been SO
deeply stirred as since the opening OF
the Senatorial campaign which closed
yesterday, and 'all ON account OF Ham
ma" That the fight will be continued
even unto the mex. national campaign
no one doubts, and It remains to be
seen to what extent President McKin-
ley will have to pay for upholdlng MT.
Hanna. Politically speaking, the two
stand together. 1t was possibly q
knowledge of thls fact which greatly
helped Hanna's return to the Senate
There was doubtless some who voted
for the Senator yesterday who would
not have done 50 had conditions been
other than what they were. This class
had the conviction that to strike down
Mr.. Hanna was to aim a blow at Prcsi-
don't Mckinley and that they could not
afford.

TURNED AGAINST HANNA.

Harper's Weekly. which during the
last campaign thought Mark Anthony
Hanna great man. and about the
only one in the United States who
could lead the Republican host to VIC
tory. does not now love the great An
thony very much, and Indignantly re-
grets the proposition that Hanna
should be accepted as the leader of
the Sound money" forces in 1.-THE
Buckeye State"
1t Is not altogether clear what Har-
ncr's has to do with the matter but
since II has discovered that during the
Presidential campaign Hanna sent
orders on two different occasions 70
the campaign chairman-the same Mr..
kurtz. who is now fighting him-to
change front and yield to the silver
men, 1t concludes that the willy Mark
cannot be trusted as a leader. But
hear what 1t says:
''The whole country Will recall
the carly days Of the Presidential
campaign Of 1896. and the fact that
hanna was then q very doubtful
quantity; that 1t was then pretty
generally understood that he fay-
ored straddle. and no doubt he
sustained Mr. Mckinley himself in
his unfortunate reticence TO treat
Hanna as the leader Of the cam
paign for Sound money as the
soul as we'll as the head Of n fight
for principle, Is ludlcrous He Is q
very ordinary and very vulgar
politician of the richest kind, who
mas more faith In money than in
discussion, and In cupldity than in
conscience"
Formerly Harper's found much IN It's
friend Hanna to praise, but, then, 1t
did not know him so well. and It
makes a big difference how you view
man after you find him out, and
this seems to be the Weeklys case.
