THE MARKETS.
Wall StTcetIIeview

New York, May 13.-Todays stock
market continued in much the same un-
settled state as was the case yesterday.
In spite of vigorous drive by the bears
APPARENTLY acquiesccd in by the bulls
which resulted at one time in declines
running from to 3 points there was no
very large volume of stock dislodged and
the bears hastened TO cover. Some very
alarsa financial interests are credited
with having taken profits on the recent
rise and with being willing to see re-
action for the purpose of getting IN
again Net changes on the day were ex-
trcmely narrow and for the most part
losses. Metropolitan street railway and
Manhattan developed late strength which
was attributed to the course of negotia-
tions with the rapid transit commission.
Total sales of stocks were 3i76O0 shares.

like it. let him say so like an honest
man, throw the responsibility where it
belongs and declare implacable hostil-
ity to the men who are laying bold
hands upon two great depart
ments that party politics has hitherto
left untouched. Either open approval,
open denunciation of the local Repub-
lican policy or absolute silence is the
only respectable policy. The issue is
such that dust cannot be thrown into
the eyes Of the people Of st. Paul. The
Republican party is responsible for
this outrage, the greatest against
good government that has ever
been contaminated in this city.
Assault and battery upon the
men who are assigned to carry it
out and whining appeals addressed to
them are equally out of place. This is,
happily, one of the cases where to run
with the hare and hunt with the
hounds is impossible. The crime of the
Republican machine cannot be covered
or explained away by any amount of
hunbug It exists in its naked enor-
nifty, to be passed upon by the people
four months from now.

MIR. WOiterstOrff Says He Is Net
After Johns Job.

The reorganization of the water board will
not be made for several days, owing to the
fact that the bond of Patrick W. Hudner. the
new appointee. has not been confirmed by the
council, and until this is done Mr. Hudner
will not be properly qualified. The assembly
approved the bond at it's meeting last even
ing, but the board of aldermen have as yet
taken no acton. Unless a special meeting
of the aldermen is called it viii be ten days
before the bond is acted upon.
Commissioner Wolterstorff and the mayor
had a conference yesterday afternoon, and
Mr. Wolterstorff suggested that perhaps a
special meeting of the board of aldermen
might be held in order to allow the water
board to get down to business.
Mr.. WoiterStorff denied that he had any
designs on the secretaryship of the board and
intimated that there was no disposition on the
part OF the commissioners to GUST Secretary
Caulfeld. He did think that the salary could
be reduced to about $1,000 without any injury
to the board or the city. Mayor Doran also
expressed the opinion that there would be no
change in the secretarysh.p of the board As
to whether there would be a change made
as to the president and superintendent; neither
of the gentlemen would say

HAVE DONE WITH RUMBUG.

The Pioneer Press continues its tear
full pleading with Mr.. Arosin, selected
probably as the most susceptible men,
Der of the fire board not to dispIace a
chief whose services have won the rec
ognition of the business community.
and whose removal from office for DO
litical reasons will be, even in it's opin-
ion, public scandal. i will probably
begin publication, within few days, of
a course of lectures, which it, no doubt,
has ready for delivery explaining to
MIR. Hudner and Mr.. Wolterstorff that
a faithful discharge of their duties on
the water board requires the retention
of the present superintendent and office
force. No enc knows why it should
waste paper and ink in kicking against
the pricks and opposing the preor-
dained policy of the party that it de-
sires to represent. Whatever may be
thought about the Transformation of
the fire board and the water beard into
political machines, and we have found
but one opinion among the business
| men of this community, there is no
reason why either operation should be
shrouded with humbug and pretense.
There is no secret, about the per-
Torrance. Mayor Doran has given the
people to understand thoroughly that
he would make appointments to these
boards such that the patronage would
be turned over to the regular Repub-
lican machine. The Dispatch. which is
closely in touch with the hungry and
thirsty who are after the plumber, has
exhibited at least the poor grace of
outspokenness, and has said that this
was the programme, and that it would
| be carried out There is no lack of
understanding on the part of the new
appointees Of what is expected Of them,
and there is NO conceivable uncertainty
as to what they will DO. They will &C.
! complish the purpose for which they
were named. They will do what they
are obliged to do as condition CT their
selectio.., whether expressed or IN
piled. They will use these two great
| departments of the public service in
such a way as. leaving out of ccnsi5-
