When it comes to benefits drawn from the pub

The FiancIaI situation.

IrOm the FhlIadelphla Times.
We are now conducting the business OF this
country on practically the same volume Of money
thar we have had for many years past. In no
period in the history Of the nation has money
been so widely difused in new industrial and
business operations as during the last eighteen
months, and the result is that money today in
the most legitimate business channels readily
commands per cent, while call loans. largely for
stock or other speculative operations often com
fnand as much as 80 per cent These condi-

OF the country, and they should be promptly and

DISAPPOINTED AT HARVARD.
Failing Snow InterfereS With Photo
graphing the MeteOrs.

CAMBRIDGE. Mass, Nov. 1.-THE dis
play of meteors which the astronomers at
the Harvard observatory were so anxiously
awaiting last night ended without any
thing better than a few scattering flashes
near the horizon.
Elaborate preparations had been made TO
observe the display and to take photo
graphs. A peculiar arrangement of four
cameras of different qualities has been
adjusted and il was hoped with this TO
retain records of some OF the best LeOnids.
The only two telescopes ready for use
were the eleven and eight inch DTapeTs.
Both OF these We're directed at the radiant
in the hope of getting a perfect negative
of the spectrum. Tonight it showed. but
it is hoped the clouds will break away
before morning so as TO give the watchers
a chance TO try some of the instruments.
In the shower of one year ago there were
but thirty -four successful photographs. but
a greater number is hoped for this year.

should be so befuddled with sounding
phrases that they no longer see what the
facts are. Therefore. the celebrated lawyer
of the presen, day Is more likely 10 be
shrewd, careful, and determined In working
up case than fervid in his presentation Of
it. Oratory is always vulnerable if il is
serious and there happens to be man
with a sense of humor on the opposite side.
He can generally put in one or two SEN
tences which make the whole carefully
built up structure of emotiOnalism ridicu-
lous, and cause the orator to feel like the
little boy whose balloon has a pinhole
through it.
to its eulogist, caused man to be hanged
was this
Turn him loose, gentlemen of the jury. and
you rush headiong upon the very bosses OF the
huckicr Of the Almighty and defy the living
God!
Now, if the man was such a ferocious
brute as all that his guilt ought to have
been so patent and obvious to the jury
that he would have been hanged without
the need of any speech at all. Perhaps he
would have been lynched. But It is diff
cult to see how the utterance of such an
impassiOned peroration as this ought to af-
feet the decision of a case in any way
doubtful 1t might have been poured forth
at the trial of chicken thief for all the
appropriateness there is in it. It presup-
poses an angry Jehovah up in the heavens,
watching that courtroom, and ready to
send down a special pestilence upon a COM
munity which dares to turn loose" such
a personification of all evil as the prisoner
under discussion. The thing is simply alb
surd. Yet this eulogist of Georgia oratory
places it beside the finest utterances OF
Shakespeare. There may have been few
Shakespeares practicing before the Georgia
bar, but they differ from the poet of STRAIT
ford d-on-AvOn in one very important par
ticuar; it is not recorded of the latter
that he ever used his poetry to hang man
with. The nearest he came to that was
writing an epitaph on some slain deer for
the benefit of old Sir Thomas Lucy
Again, we have here a second specimen
of oratory, which the gentleman who
quotes it asserts TO be as good, if not bet
ter, than anything Shakespeare ever wrote.
The speaker declares:
When YOU can tear the live thunder from its
home in the burning ether and chain it a will
ing captive at the footStool OF tyranny then,
and not till then, will accept the situation!
This suggests that thunder is sort
of dog. We are referred in this connection
10 Macbeth's speech about the rugged Rus
sian bear the armed rhinoceros, and the
"Hyrcon tiger" But the comparison does
not compare. These animals are supposed
TO be sOlidly real. Shakespeare said some
reckless things, but he never assumed that
noise could be taken from its home in
the burning ether'-which does not burn
and be chained up at The footstool of some
person or persons unknown. Shakespeare
had some sense. He was not Alfred Aus
tin. nor any other war poet.
