PINGREEIsM AND ALGERIsM.

Michigan now has the center of the
ture a club which will rid that long
suffering commonwealth of Pingreeism
and give Algerism its finishing blow. The
country has been everlastingly tired of
Alger for more than a year, and if Michi-
gan will lay away Pingree and Pingree-
ism, the nation can turn its face to the
East again and hope for better things.
Alger is disgrace to political life, and
Pingree never was anything else but a
blatant demagogue, whose mouth flies
open every twenty-four hours while he
loads up the press with a column or so
of inanity which, but for the fact that he
is governor of Michigan, would never get
beyond the borders of Detroit. This man
Pingree is now acting as an Algerian
Observation-Disclosures, taking his tips from the
broken down mountebank in Washington,
and sending out walls from his Michigan
hCme.
According to Pingree, Alger was kicked
out of the cabinet because of the Pin
gree-Alger alliance, and Pingree adds
from UP somewhere among the sour grapes
There is a decided odor of trusts around
the present administration, with Mark
Hanna the acknowledged king maker"
There is. to be sure, Mr.. Pingree, but the
people of this nation know that Mr. AL
ger would never. in the senate or out of
it, lay finger on the trusts, which he
has fathered and fostered for 10, these
many years. Mark Hanna's day is COM
ing, but let there be no stop to the pres
ent movement to put Pingree and Alger
where they can do no further harm.

ROBERT G. INGERsOLL.

Robert G. Ingersoll, who passed away
suddenly yesterday, was one of the fore
most men of his day. Agnostic though
he was, he was regarded by the great
thinkers of the age as one of Americas
most brilliant men at the bar and on the
lecture platform. He was a finished ora
tor-charrning of voice, pleasing of man
ner, powerful in logic and so magnetic
that he swayed his audience at will He
was deep and thorough student and put
fire, force and eloquence into everything
he did at the bier or on the rostrum.
Some of his essays are among the best
productions in literary sense in the
English language. The reader is at once
struck with Mr. Ingersoli's wonderful
grasp of the mother tongue, his Shake
spearian nicely in the selection of words
and his thrilling massing and presenta-
ton of his thoughts. All this can be said
in justice to the man without referring
to his position regarding the Christian re-
ligion. This is manifestly not the hour
for the discussion of that.

Brndstreet's Financial Review
Shows Conditions Fairly Good.
NEW YORK, July 21.-Bradstreet's
financial review tomorrow will say:
Exceedingly narrow, speculative con-
ditions have prevailed this week. The
customary suspension of stock market
activity at this period of the year has
been aggravated by the continued firm
ness of money, by the uncertainty of the
financial position and of speculation, the
foreign markets and by the increased
symptoms of restiVeness on the part
of labor at home. On the other hand,
while money is tirmer, there are no
symptoms of stringency and nothing
to enforce liquidation of holding of
stocks
Current railroad earnings are very sat

ness situation, on the whole. gives con,
fdence to Wall street as to the future of
the stock market, modified somewhat
hy the idea that such a state of affairs
will lead to augmented demand for
money, and both divert capital from
speculation and induce a higher range of
interest rates.
There were no new deals in the rail

to crop out and have an influence il

The G o b g has already published its
estimate of this reverend gentleman in
these columns. We did so in the hey-dey
of his fame. We then said he was a liter
ary humbug. We have no occasion to re-
peat the statement. Being literary fakir,
as the publishing houses enabled him to
demonstrate that he IS, we still declare
that, as man of business and discern
ment Of national character Mr.. Maclaren
is wise man. Whether his future en-
gagements as a lecturer, religious in
structor or writer of literary slush may
call for a reconsideration OF his late view
of the American public or not, the great
American public, so far as he is concern
ed, must be regarded as so many over
generous children, who bestow their sugar
sticks on neighboring youngsters without
any regard to their native sense of ap-
probation.

JOHN BULL BUYS GOLD.
Pays n Premium for 1t in the Open
New York Market.


NEW YORK, July A.-A few years
ago, mad 1t been reported on any day
that there was a premium on gold we
should have seen here and elsewhere a
gcod deal of anxiety, some paralysis of
business, and all sorts of confusion in
the market. Yet yesterday gold in this
city commanded a Premium, and al.
though only in inner circles is this fact
known, yet it was not because Of arv
apprehension of trouble here il the fact
became public, but out of courtesy to
those who have been willing to pay
the premium that no announcement
of it was made.
The Bank of England obtained in New
York $95O,OOO worth of gold, and got it
by paying a premium for it. The gold
was not borrowed, for the Bank Of Eng
land evidently cid not care to allow
interest upon the gold from the moment
that cable dispatches announced that the
metal was on the steamship, and evil
IDENTIFY was unwilling to make advances
upon gold in transit, as it did with a
considerable part of the $40, 900, 900 Of
gold that was sent to Europe soma
weeks ago.
1t has bought the gold as it would buy
any commodity, as Liverpool factors
would buy wheat, and it undoubtedly
bought this gold here because it found
that it could get it cheaper In the
United States than anywhere else. In
the old days when conditions were
different, if the Bank Of England looked
toward the United States for gold, it
got it by familiar methods But it is
said today in Wall street that this out
right purchase of American gold by the
Bank of England is unprecedented, al
though some qualify this statement by
adding that it certainly has not hap
pened in recent years. There is some.
thing of exultation here that the United
States is able to sell gold as a com
modify, and that the course of affairs
makes it extremely improbable that gold
will go out of the country this year in
any other way than as a loan or as a
purchase.

TRADE OUTLOOK BRIGHT.
Bradstreet's Review of the General
Situation Is Encouraging.

Situation Is Encouraging
NEW YORK, July A.-Bradstreets to-
morrow will say: The general trade stu
alton has apparently lost nothing in
strength. The aggregate of midsummer
business is of an unprecedented volume
and signs of expansion in the demand
for fall and winter goods increase
Prices, except for the cereals coffee, raw
sugar and some dairy products, are either
firmly held or tend upwards. Notable
among those advancing are pork prod
ucts, petroleum, copper, tin, tin plates
and raw wool, while the list Of products
unchanged includes refined sugar, hides,
leather lead and cotton. Crop prospects
are encouraging, the movement of grain
to market is of immense volume and
railroad earnings consequently continue
to show large increases over preceding
years.
Possibilities that the present corn crop
will equal, if not exceed, the largest on
record have depressed prices of this
cereal to an extent equal to the decline
in wheat. The corn yield in Kansas, par
ticularly, promises to be enormous, al
ways providing that hot winds do not
affect the crop.
Iron and steel retain all of their old
strength, and while prices at the East
are unchanged, further advances in crude
and manufactured material are noted at
Chicago. Inquiry by Bradstreets show
that the scarcity of supplies in this indus
try has exercised some influence upon in
dustrial operations Several mills at the
West are reported idle because of the
lack of material. Structural forms of
iron and steel are also backward in de-
livery, and some new work has been dis
couraged by fears that supplies of ma
terial will I OF be forthcoming.

Gov. Brady, of Alaska, Cannot At

AUSTIN, Tex. July 21.-Gov. Sayers to-

Brady, of the District of Alaska, stating
that he would be unable to attend the
anti-trust convention to be held in St.
Louis in September because he had ar
ranged a private trip during that period
His letter is in part as follows:
''The subject of trusts is one of the
most important of our time and just how
to grapple with it and control it is a
serious problem. Some of our states are
now making it easy for any and all kinds
of corporations to be created. 1t would
seem therefore proper to begin correction
in state legislature. The laws should
be carefully gone over, and their weak
nesses laid bare and the proper remedies
applied.

to shut off all competition, and limit pro-

nounces that William c. Whitney has

that the Republicans have been forced to
