the Grand Encnmpment.

At PhIIadclphia-The Significance Of
the Grand Encnmpment.
Washington Star: The national en-
campment OF the Grand Army of the
Republic is always an interesting occa-
sion. 1t always calls up a thousand
glorious memories, and always empha-
sia the lessons of patriotism and
duty. But this year the occasion is par
llcularly Interesting and instructive.
What did these veterans in their lusty
youth stand for? What flag did they
carry? whose orders did they take and
execute? What deeds did they accom-
pIlSh which make them still, thirty -tlVe
years later, the objects OF so much re-
specl and affection?
The story is familiar in every detail.
In 1861 there were men who scohed at
the bare suggestion that this govern
mGnt had the power TO save Itself.
What? Coerce sovereign state OF the
Union? Invade a state with federal
troops and bring It back hjb force to
tie discharge of national obligations?
Could people so treated ever be relied
upon as citizens? Was 1t not one OF the
cardinal principles OF our institutions
thai governments derive their just
powers from the consent OF the govern
ed?" Could patriotism be eXacted at the
muzzle OF rifle? Was the Union any
thing but bond holding together SOW
eTeign states, but only by unanimous
consent? Could not any one OF them
withdraw at Its pleasure?
We all know how, and by whom, these
questions were answered. He was a
great man, the greatest, Up SPme par
tIculars, this country has eVer pro-
duced. He was assailed more Hereby
than any official ever had been In this
country before. Pictured by his de-
tractors In the north alternately as
bloody tyrant and low buffoon, he yet
painfully and patiently kept on his
course. and filled the south with hun
dreds OF thousands Of men, carrying the
stars and stripes and planting 1t and
sustaining II with blood everywhere,
At last the deed was done. The cause
was won, The south, broken and dew
ustated by four years OF war, and after
resistance which for courage and sac
ritice commanded universal admiration
was restored by force to the Union
What II had been said could not be
done stood accomplished; and the greai
leader who had been so vilely lhmpOon'
ed by copperheads and skulkers in the
rear now took his place among the he
roes Of all time.
Has that work been n failure? Ash

shortly after the opening Of to-day's
session Of the national eneampment Of
the Grand Army of the Republic. Judge
Leo Rassleur, Of St Louis, Mo-, with
drew his name US candidate for the
Office OF commander-ln-chief. Judge
RassIeur, In a speech that aroused un-

Gates, declined to oppose Col. Albert D.
Shaw, OF WATERFOWL, My. and re-
5uested that the vote % tie encamp-
ment be given to Col: Shaw. AS he
took his seat after Withdrawing from
the contest he was cheerea TO the echo
and cries Of "RasEieur for 1907 were
heard In ali parts Of the Grand opera
house.
Acting on the suggestion OF Judge
Rassieur, the encampment elected Col.
shaw by exclamation. Immediately
after his election, Col Shaw sent tel
egram to his wife at WATERFOWL, say
ing:

He said that he had not sought the Of
dce OF commander. -chlef, his candi-
dacy being the result OF the work Of
his friends. The desire Of the encamp-
meut, he said, seemed to be to elect
Col, Shaw, and he felt that 1t was but
proper for him to withdraw from the
contest in order that the business Of the
meeting should not be delayed. He
then asked that the entire vote OF the
encampment be turned over to Col.
Shaw and that the New York candidate
be elected by acclamatlopH
After Col. shaw's election the dele

FINANCE AND TRADE,
The Features of the Money and Stock
Markets.

The Features of the Money and Stock
Markets.
NEW YORK, Sept. 7.-Money on call
firm at 4aG per cent; last loan, i1s per
cent. Prime mercantile paper, 4HG5
per cent. Sterling exchange steady,
with actual business in bankers bills
at "a s6%a4 s6h for demand and at
"a s3%@4 S3h for sixty days; posted
rates, 81 S494 S7Fs; commercial bills.
81 SPY. Silver certificates, 59959Ec.
Bar silver, SOC. Mexican dollars, 47hc.
Government bonds steady. State bonds
Inactive. Railroad bonds weak.
The market succumbed to the COM
bined influence OF a hardening rate for
call money, and the depression on for
eign stock markets on account of the
gathering war cloud in South Africa. A
few of the highly speculative Industrial
specIaltIes were marked up in the early
dealings and at different times during
the day in an effort to resist the decline.
The attempt proved unnvailing to
overcome the depression in the general
list and the manlpulative stocks In
some cases finally weakened, though a
few retained a net advance. Tennessee
Coal was marked up a point at the
opening, but that was the highest Of
the day. Sugar. Tobacco, Brooklyn
Transit, Federal Steel and few other
stocks among the most prominent In
dustrials vlbrated both above and be-
low last nights price. Pullman Pal
ace Car was at one time up four points,
but lost 1t all. The American car
stocks rose 2 points each, but the pre-
ferFeed receded to the level at the OPEN
ing, Pressed Steel Car preferred adj
vancSd point in the closing dealings.
These movements, reflection OF the
large demand for railroad equipment,
growing out OF the prosperity OF the
railroads, had little effect on the gen.
eral list The American Hoop stocks
were strong, on reported large earnings,
rising three points for the common and
~ points for the preferred. There
were some large orders executed for
United States Lcather. which raised the
price a point. The preferred stock adj
vanced in sympathy but lost all the
gain. These were the only important
exceptions to the weakness of the ac-
tive stocks. ST. Paul showed some
resistance. but gave way with the
other grangers when limitations were
heard of opposition to an increase in
the dividend rate on the part Of the
directors ION September a year ago
st. Paul was pushed up in the morning
to ll5 on the rumor that semi-annual
dividend would be increased over the
"a per cent rate.
When the rate was announced In the
afternoon, the stock slumpcd nearly
Ave points and broke the whole market.
The rate still continues ut 2ls per
cent. Declines in the railroads nre
quite uniformly between and 2 per
cent, including the prominent gran
gers, southwesterns, Pacincs, trunk
lines and Southern railroads. Stocks
which hive had recent sharp nd
vance show wide declines. Col
