brought him into prominence, and he
has even gone so far as to propose a
solution of the race problem for the
/ whole south. First of all, he desires
that all fanatical meddlers from the
north should keep their hands off and
leave the settlement of the race issue
to southern men. who understand the
situation. There is some sense in this
suggestion. Then he proposes a form of
qualified suffrage for the negroes. They
are not fitted to exercise the full rights
of citizenship he says and though the
south in its poverty has given freely
for the establishment of schools and
though illiteracy has been diminished,
crime has been on the increase
According to Gov. Gambler, the
trouble is that a heavier burden than
he could bear was laid upon the black
man when without preparation he was
clothed with all the rights and privil-
eyes and responsibilities of citizenship"
Probably majority of intelligent peo-
pie nowadays sympathize with this SEN
timent even though they may not de-
scribe the act of Acknowledgement as
the greatest crime ever perpetrated
not only against American ideas and
institutions and liberty, but against the
southern negro" The only remedy, says
Gov. Gambler, is qualified suffrage.
But what does he mean by this? He
says the ballot must only be entrusted
to the virtuous and intelligent" He in
sists upon both qualifications, and it
lies within the power of every southern
state to apply the remedy he suggests.
Let the legislature of each state pass a
law based upon this principle and make
it applicable to blacks and whites alike,
and the trick is done.
There is qualified suffrage" for you,
and if the stories of southern men
themselves are to believed, there are
many poor whites who conspicuousl2
lack both intelligence and virtue, and
who must be quite as untitled as the
blacks for exercising the rights, privi- |
leges and responsibilities of citizenship.
If Gov. Gamblers argument is sound,
the south should be vastly benefited py
excluding the illiterate and vicious Of Il
both races from the suffrage. Why not
try it on? Imagine what stir would
be made at the mere suggestion of dis
franehising those sturdy mountain
GERS" and back-country men.

DEATH OF LESTER BRADNER

Lester Bradner, youngest child of Dr..
Henry j. and the late Villette A. Jor-
dan, died at Valley farm, Shrewsbury,
where DR.. Jordan's three children had
been spending the summer, late Sat
urday night. DR.. Jordan arrived from.
Maiden yesterday, and the body was
taken TO Hil1reth & Putnam's under
taking rooms. The child was two years.
six months and three days old.
Upon the death of his mother, last
March, Lester was afflicted with pneu-
monia. He had partially recovered from
this a. the beginning of the summer
months, and was sent to Shrewsbury
to recuperate. Quick consumption de-
veloped, causing death. The funeral
will be this afternoon at Hildreth &
Putnam's rooms.

ATHoL's STATISTICS.
Boston University Student on the Vol.
unteer Movement.


Rev. James NJ. Gage of Athol, stu
dent at Boston University, was in
charge Of the evening service in Trim
ity church, yesterday. He has been
closely identified with the student vol
unteer movement, the object of which is
to Increase the interest of college men,
and young people in general in the work
of foreign missions.
He said in part: II believe that much
of the prevailing apathy for foreign
missions is not due to wilful disloyalty
to Christ but TO ignorance of the facts
connected with the work There are
many reasons why interest should be
aroused among young people in mis-
sionary work. The cause Of humanity
is honorable and just. An interest ia
political affairs Is obligatory upon a
loyal citizen and the propagation of
social interests and relations Is wise
and good. But all these cannot reach
the highest mark save as they are filed
with the life Of Christ These with his
life and spirit bring power.
The foreign missionary field is need
ed, and the work Of missionaries ele-

A GOOD IDEA.

AS two-thirds of the Twenty in
fantry, the new regiment for the Phil
ippine service, is composed of officers
and enlisted men from New England, a
sentiment is waxing that it would be a
generous act on the part of President
Mckinley We're he to order the regi-
nient aboard a transport in Boston har-
Dor. Friends of the men and officers
would appreciate this, as 1t would give
them an opportunity of once more see
ing their friends before they start for
the far east. Col. Rice is a Massachu-
sets man. and the send-off that the
Twenty-sixth would get would help inn
measurably in lessening the monotony
of the long VOYAGE

PROSPECT or LARGE kxpDRrs.

As the season wears on, the prospect
of large exports of American bread
stuffs grows brighter. The London fin
ancial correspondent of the New York
Times writes: "On an average 1 should
say that the probability is that Euro
pean demands upon American farmers
viii be heavier this year than last.
Should the crops in the Indian north
west fail as it is now feared they win.
much larger food supplies must come
from you, and again give to you SUI
preme command over our money mar
ket''
This prediction is in accordance with
others, and barring some unforeseen
turn of affairs. there is every reason
to expect a heavy foreign demand for
American farm products. The only
question relates to the capacity of the
country for responding to the demand
Happily, the somewhat discouraging
crop reports sent out early in the sea
son have been very materially amend
ed by subsequent Developments. and
all indications now point to an album
dant harvest. though it may not be of
the record-breaking variety known in
other years. 1t has been noted that
while our exports Of breadstuffs fell
off some $e0000.0O0 for the last fiscal
year as compared with that of 1898
imports Of other farm products increas-
ed, and the total was brought up to
1850, 000, 900. At the Same tf,ne ax1Yo.,.e
of manufactured goods increased very
largely. 1t is reasonable expectation
that the export of farm products will
be at least as large in the current year
as in the past, and there is no reason
for any material diminution Of manu-
featured exports.
II the conditions here outlined are
fulfilled, there can be no question as
to the continuance Of the industrial
prosperity Of the country, or Of the
maintenance Of large foreign balance
in our favor. This balance may be re-
duced by the inevitable tendency to in
crease imports, but at the same time
fewer American securities will be re-
turned In payment of exports. This
would seem to mean a resumption Of
gold imports and a further expansion
Of the treasury gold. 1t might make
American trade. too, the most impor
tant influence in the London market
So far as general indications go, the
financial and Industrial outlook for the
new FISCAL year is very encouraging.

Business Yesterday.
Every conductor on the Consolidated

gers yesterday.
Traffic was the heaviest In the Sun

day the Tatnuck line gave evidences
Of popularity and at noon three extra
cars were put on the line. An extra
Clinton car was put in commission, and
the Grafton line was augmented by one
extra car.
The lake line received it's Sunday al

the biggest money winners. Provision
had been made for handling big
crowds on all the lines, and not a serj-
Gus hitch or accident marred the pro-

If Texas papers are to be believed, the
discovery of oil wells has given the
Lone Star state its first millionaires,
the most prominent of whom is former
Senator Roger Quarles Mills. Poor
planters and small farmers having oil
lands are sharing in the newly dis
covered wealth, and there is every pros
pect of an industrial and social revolu-
ton. The consequences of this recent
development must be far-reaching, for
1t will attract outside capital in
amounts hitherto unknown, and aside
from the general commercial advan-
tage to be reaped by the whole south
1t is easy to see that the effect upon
Texas people individually is quite past
computation.

Criminologists and sociologists will
take a keen interest in the tenement
house exhibition which is to be given
in New York, next December. There
( viii be miniature representations of
tenement houses, both good and bad.
that may be found in New York, Lon
don and other large cities, and side by
side with these will be models of tene-
ment houses erected upon scientific
principles. Such an exhibition will be
instructive to the whole people. 1t is
accepted as fact that unclean and
crowded houses are responsible for a
large percentage of, crime, and one of
the problems of the day is to do away
with the slums and bring the people
into clean, orderly and sanitary habits
OF living. Obviously the old tenement
house is the first object of attack. The
campaign against it has been going on
for years, and though it has not been
without effect, it is seldom that the re-
formers have had such an opportunity
for correlating facts and comparing re-
suits as this exhibition will afford.

the mountains for the summer, and
1879 at the seashore, leaving more than

thirds of the people named by the Reg
lister go to the mountains for change

cord may help to settle the question as

Metal Quotations-WooI Prices and
Movements - Grain and Pro-

New York, March 2e.-The bull move
snent in stocks which started Saturday
received its first material check to-day.
The dealings were considerable above the
million mark. with nearly a quarter of
million of the transactions in Brooklyn
Transit. The sensational advance in the
forenoon brought about realizing sales on
an enormous scale In the late session.
Foreign exchange was strong and higher,
especially on short bills There was a
hurry In call money. which went as high
as per cent. and closed at 315c per cent
These circumstances. together with the
early strength in wheat accelerated the
afternoon declines, which embraced even
more stocks than were prominent on the
rise. Brooklyn Transit made an extreme
advance of 9 points, dropped over and
closed with a net advance of points
from the top In this stock, which sold
to-day over 100 points above figures pre-
vailing last April: was on large blocks of
stocks thrown over by traders on the de-
cline. Supporting purchases by the par
ties identified with the property resulted
in a rally. AS in the manipulation of
this stock many brokers are used, it is
difficult to say whether the decline was on
genuine realizing or to shake off an unde-
sirable following. Although Northwest
closed with a gain of less than points.
IL Hdu at one Time risen TO the extreme or
Z. New York Central, which at one time
was up SIS, retained less than that of the
rise. 1t was said there had been enor-
nous realizing by interests active in ma
nipulatng the rise in several stocks.
which were usually taken because of the
purchasing demand aroused by their re-
cent strength. This, however. is a mat
ter of pure conjecture. Reports of hitch
in the delivery of certain properties to
the Continental Tobacco company and
talk of the possibility of trade fight
kept the tobacco stocks weak most of the
day, American Tobacco being off more
than points and Continental 2M. Fed
eral Steel and similar properties suffered
on realizatons. Weakness also developed
in General Electric Rubber, Atchson pre-
ferred and the coalers. The granger
stocks showed good gains in the early
period of strength and receded with the
rest Of the market in the early afternoon.
The market closed active and weak with
many shares losers. Railroad bonds par
ticipated fully in the vagaries of stocks
to-day. but the range was well within the
point of the most active issues. Total
sales were s4,345000. U. S. bonds were
unchanged in bid quotations.

CHICAGO MARKETS.


Chicago, March 29-Wheat spectators
gave a fresh turn to the Kaleidoscope to
the opening and what looked black and
forbidden at the close yesterday had
rainbow appearance when the market
opened. May opened R@9sc higher, from
711ac down to 71$c, touched 714c for a mo-
ment and then began to rise. The Liver
pool cables came firm instead of being, as
expected. weak. The strength abroad was
not nearly so powerful factor however,
as the home news about damage to winter
wheat. Damage reports were general
coming from all quarters where winter
wheat is grown. The conviction forced It.
self upon many skeptics that the amount
of injury done by the unfavorable win
ter was greater than anything of the kind
in number of years and much heavier
than could be compensated for by in
creased acreage. Every countryman who
had an acquaintance in the commission
business appeared to have considered it
duty to report wholesale destruction to
crops. The ordinary market condition re-
latng to receipts or shipments did not
ceive much attention. May consequently
kept rising from INC until the price
reached 721ac. At that point some reaiz-
ing resulted in a slight reaction. The
market became very strong in the last
hour of the session and rose rapidly from
around 72ssc for May to 73ssc, closing at
13Ac. July made rapid strides to overtake
May and nearly caught up at the end.
The~ were only NC apart at the close,
July leaving off at 73hc.
Corn followed the advance of the wheat
market with apparent reluctance during
the first half hour of the session. but
after that the upward tendency was not
so persistently opposed by the bears and
made more rapid progress. The threat
ened lateness of the planting season was
about the only Independent reason for
strength in corn. May advanced &c.
Oats were firm and higher in sympathy
with the other grains. May closed Ad3sc
higher.
Provisions ruled quiet, but strong, a
moderate advance. The firmness was with
grains. May pork closed 10c higher, lard
21ac and rips &c higher.
