VOICE OF WALL STREET.

VOICE OF WALL STREET.
 From the New York Journal.
 It is unfortunate for the general reputa- ton of the American people for sanity that Wall street is on the eastern edge of the continent and looms larger in foreign eyes than all the rest of the country. The pro- ceedings of the excited specu.ators Uhere whenever there is talk of trouble with amy foreign power impotence would dis credit the intelligence of a colony of prai- rife dogs The smell of gunpowder gives Will street deiirium tremens. One would think, to look at its frantic convulsions that the old race of Americans. whose buoyant confidence thrived on dangers, had become extinct
 1t is said that "conscience doth make towards of us all,' but nobody will con- tend that an excess of conscience is the thing that has sapped the manhood of Wall street. It is simply a lack of brains Of course, Thursdays serm-panic was directly caused by the bear nanipulators, but the bears would have been powerless for mis- chief If they had encountered a reserve of common sense on the street. Why should the prospect of war with Spain have any terrors for the holders of American se- curdties? It could not injure single sound American property. Does anybody believe that if we sent the White Squadron to Havana to thrash the Spaniards and free Cuba there would be amy fewer peo- pie riding on the surface and elevated rail- roads of New York, or any dechne In the number of consumers of kerosene? Yet Manhattan dropped seven points on Thurs day in ten minutes, and Metropolitan sew en and one-half while Standard oil had fallen off eighty-three points in week It is safe to say that MT. Gould, MT Sage and Mr. Rockefeller are not sacrificing any of their holdings at those figures.
 The hysterical fear that seizes the finan- ciaa community of New York whenever the subject of war Is mentioned has developed into a versttable disease. Nothing like 1t has ever been known before in the world. All nations, our own included, have been at war a considerable part of their time, but unail within the past few years the man. ipulators of capital have never separated themselves from their countrymen and de- manded submission to national disgrace Cn the plea that manhood would ruin business.
 And the old-time men of money were right. Manhood never did ruin business. end .t es not lxteiy that js ever wal There is no reason why Decapitalist should not be a patriot.

An English paper says that the oth- CT day, when Queen Victoria was seated in her drawing room, with sew eral of her household in attendance, the lamp placed close beside her began to smoke To the horror and astonish- ment of the company the queen promptly raised her august hand and turned down the flame.

AN EMBARRASSING PAIR.
Wives Cannot Tell Their Husbands
 Apart.

A Yale, Mich, special to the Detroit
 Tribune says: ''Jim Hisey, aged IS, is
 prosperous grain dealer here. He
 has wife, two sons and daughter.
 Will Hisey, aged 4s, his brother, lives
 at Sparta. He is also married. The
 two men are twins, and all through
 life have been the living duplicates of each other. So near alike are they that even their wives cannot tell them apart They dress alike, their voices are alike and their hair and mustache have the same color and curls. When boys they had to be tagged so that their parents and teachers would know the difference. When Jim gets a crick in his back, Will is liable to have the same complaint, and when Will gets the rheumatism Jim also gets it in precisely the same place. They were formerly both engaged in the milling business and served an appren- ticeship under the same man. They were born in Western Ontario, their parents being Jacob and Betsey Hisey Jim's wife has only one way Tn which she can tell her husband from his brother.
