ave may be OVERRIDING this thing"
says William Mckinley, referring to
the booming prosperity that is being
enjoyed by the trust promoters, the
stock gamblers and money sharks
generally, "Let us take half hitch
on our enthusiasm lest we go to
smash-thereby endangering our
prospects for second term" These
are not the exact words, but the SEN
timent is preserved.
And it is evident that the under
strappers who have bees steering the
ship Of State, while the regular crew
has been eating expensive dim ers
and talking about the old flag, have
received instructions to make all
snug aloft in case there should be a
stiff breeze. The assistant secretary
OF the treasury, Mr.. Vanderlip, ID
keeping an eye to the windward, at
any rate. Money is tight in Wall
Street. The gentlemen who shear
lambs. the philanthropists who rig
the market, the financiers who come
to the rescue of the government when a
bond issue is in sight, are paying con-
siderably more than the legal rate for
money, and IN their stress and trial
they naturally turn to the treasury
department for aid, this department
being considered sort of branch Of
flee Of the New York establishment L.
Mr.. VANDERBILT, acting undoubtedly
upon the orders of his absent chief, is
quick to respond. He announces
that the United States Government
will prepay all interest upon it's bonds
for the rest Of the fiscal year, IL period
of of eight months. The stock gam
blers must have easy money at the
expense Of the taxpayers.
1t is true that Oh large part OF the
anticipated payments the Govern
ment will exact discount of one
fifth Of one per cent month, but
the difference between this dicount
and the present rate of money in
Wall Street will go to the distressed
financiers. Upon 100000 Of $780,
100000 to be paid out no discount mt
ell will be exacted. The Govern.
ment will give the use Of the money
gratis to the worthy persons who
amuse themselves by asxinning the
Rubes" IA they term it. 1t Is thank
offering from our noble Executive to
the patriots who gave so nobly OF
their adIpose tissue when Mr.. Hanna
was operating the frying pan in 1896.
If they are treated literally now they
may be equally responsive when Mr..
Hanna takes up his pilgrimage again
next year.
And of course it Is all right. Stock
gambling is one Of our most cherish
ed and aristocratic industries. 1t
must be protected and fostered like
other favored industries. But while
our noble Executive and Mr.. Wander.
lip are III this generous frame of
mind why shouldn't the federal PEN
sioners, the federal officeholders and
other prospective creditors of the
Government, seize the opportunity
and ask for an advance payment? AS
matter OF fact, why shouldn't we all
have a whack at the United States
treasury, dividing up the funds on
hand pro rata and thereby insuring
prosperous times and high old time
as long as the money lasts.
Let us make this thing general. 1t
is not fair that the Wall Street phil.
anthropists should monopolize the
pork.-Chioago Chronicle.

slump. The excitement was almost con-
fined to African shares, commitments in
Americans and elsewhere being small.
After two hours hope was revived and a
general rally took place, accompanied by
a rumor that Governor Butler had recov-
cred his guns and that General Cleary
had crossed the river. There was no con-
firmation of these rumors. Consos were

CHICAGO MARKETS.
Produce.

Chicago, Dec. 16-The activity of pro-
visions was the feature on the board to-
day. The pit crowd was large and, with
few exceptions. those who composed 1T
were sellers for profit. an operation with
which they fattened their purses ami
matedly throughout the session to the
detriment Of the price. The liquidation
was set going by financial report. Fluc-
tuations were wide, particularly in pork.
The shipping demand was as good as
ever, the hog supply small and prices at
the yards firm. Brokers were free SELL
ers of May lard and holders let out lines
of May pork and ribs. At the decline the
investment demand asserted itself,
steadying the market for a time. May
pork. having dropped zoe, regaiaed halt
the loss, but let it go again. May pork
closed zoe under yesterday. May lard
121ac down and May ribs 71aa1Oc lower.
Wheat was weak because the trade
thought the government report bearish,
the Boston financial decentralization also
having a depressing effect The pit was
quiet after the usual Saturday manner.
The South African news was variously
regarded and the export demand early
not pressing. Receipts, as usual, were
light. May opened Sole down at esq
G9Bc, and sold down to 6S7sc. Here the
market received more support from buy
ing against pit calls, which the price had
slumped, and held steadily.
The foreigners were the principal buy
ers throughout, and towards the close
made their influence felt, and as their
moves were believed to reflect bullish de-
auctions from the tangled South African
situation, the locals raised their bids a
bit and shorts did some covering. The
shipping demand also improved late in
the session. May advanced to 69ssc, at
which the option closed. nc under yester-
day, with the tone of the market rather
firm.
Corn was easier. condition due to
freer country offerings. May closed h@
Ac down at 33c. ...
Nobody seemed to notice the oats mar
ket. May oats closed unchanged at 24hc.

 There is to be a large development in the near future in the industries of the south, and Alabama will, from the many advan- tages she possesses in her iron and coal mines, quarries, her clay and other de- posits, her timber, her fine water powers. her cheap and intelligent labor, her local and state encourd cement of manufactures, ard from her fine transportation facilities, benefit most largely from that develop ment. Her fertile valleys and her con genial ard healthy climate will contribute much to that growth.

When He Felt the Oldest

Now and then the question is asked what has become of Theodore Triton. He is still living in Paris, where ne has resided ever since the famous trial in which he played so conspicuous a part. He has never returned to these shores. An American, who met him in the spring in Paris, says the New York Mail and Express, states that he is in abundant health and spirits, and that, in response to a question, he said that he spent his time between Paris and London. That he rta1nes his gift of sparkling repartee is shown by a remark he made to this American.
