and that something is over-capitaliza-

will not be paid.
Under such circumstances, investors
have about as much chance as has the
confiding gentleman who inserts his
nickles into the universal slot ma
chine. Somebody else is pulling the
strings behind the screen, and it is the
ambition of these unseen but shrewd
manipulators to unload present hold

The average trust is a thin shell,

IRON TRADE CONDITIONS.

New York Iron Age
The market is getting into more
and more excited condition and the
scarcity of material is even more pro-
,nounced than it has been. Prices are
irregular in this respect, that they vary
within considerable limits, early deliv-
cries commanding a. considerable pre-
MUM, whose magnitude depends upon
the circumstances governing each in
III, q ual case.
Large interests have been covering
forward requirements to an extent
which reflects both their confidence in
the future and the fact that they are
swelling their order books. Last week
a leading interest in the central west
bought $4,000 tons of pig iron, but on
the other hand another large CONSOLE
dation withdrew from the market an
inquiry for about $4,000 tons. Since
the market has advanced sharply and
to-day the Bessemer Association is to
fix a new price which, it is generally
expected, will be SIS at Valley furnace.
1t is estimated that the furnaces in the
Association can only offer for sale at
the utmost for this years delivery be-
tween $4,000 and 10000 tons.
In the east there have been sales OF
basic pig iron to the extent of about
10000 tons at close to SIG, delivered.
In Chicago the Republic Iron and Steel
Company has purchased large lots of
grey forge pig iron for their different
plants and have also closed for about
80 900 tons of sheet billets at private
terms.
Reports are beginning to crop up
concerning the suspension OF enter
prises through the rapid rise in iron
and steel. We have investigated one
important line, that relating to struct-
ural material for bridges and build
ings, and find that while number OF
instances are cited, the majority of the
CO a truction shops have not met with
such experiences.
The great steel works and rolling
mills are crowded with work well into
the closing months of this year and in
their sales have discounted the addl-
tions to plants now under way
The really serious question is to
what extent and at what prices buy
ers who are now working up cheap ma
terfal will come into the market. The
rapid rise is naturally causing uneasl-
ness since a sharp reaction might lead
to cancellations and to withholding of
specifications by those who, being be-
lated, purchased largely at prices re-
Gently prevailing. AS yet, of course,
there is not the slightest indication of
that.

THIS SETTLES Ir-FOR TEDDY

The New York Journal has been in
terviewing Big Boss Plat upon the Re-
publican Presidential nomination, and
Mr.. Platt has unceremoniously con-
signed Governor Teddy Roosevelt to
the deep sea of oblivion in these
words:
William Mckinley will. of course. be
the Republican candidate for the Presi-
dency next year. Garrett A. Hobart will
be my choice for the Vice Presidency
This ticket is sure to be renominated and
reelected.
But what is the matter with Roose-
velt?"
Roosevelt. I am reliably informed has
neither Presidential nor a Vice Presi-
Dental bee in his bonnet. AS | under
stand it, he is not candidate for either
place on the national ticket. Yes he is
making a good Governor" added the Sem
ator sweetly.
This would appear to be the prema-
ture end of Mr.. Roosevelt's ambitions.

The members of the Christian En-

church held a very interesting meet
ing last evening.
John Robinson's big vircus appeared
here yesterday, giving two perform
ances, which were thoroughly enjoyed
by the very large crowds present. The
show, however, was late in arriving
on account of the failure of the rail-
road company to handle their trains
promptly. The parade was, given
shortly after the noon hour and was
certainly credit to any circus. The
cages, which are the main feature of
it, are something out of the ordinary
and reflects much credit on the taste
OF Mr.. Robinson, who had them built
from special design. The perform
ances were both clean and up to date
The acts are all good and the bright
costumes caught the eye of all. The
press agent of the show, Capt. T. B.
Wilson, is an interesting person to
meet. He has been with the show a
number of years, and al usual made
many friends in the city. Taken as a
whole, the circus and also the side
show pleased everybody, and it is to
be hoped that this show, with it's
gentlemanly set of attaches, will pay us
return visit next season.
The Elks held an interesting meet
ing last evening, and after the regular
business, held an informal reception
to number of invited guests, COM

The police were kept busy yesterday
looking after a number of fakirs who
were following the circus. Several
games were opened early, but they did
not last long. One arrest was made,
and outside of that the town was quiet
for big day.

AS TO CITY FRANCHISES.

In this mornings issue of the Regis
ter correspondent criticises the pub
lished interview with Mayor Sweeney,
upon the subject of city franchises to
corporations, and takes decided issue
with the head of the city government
In doing so he calls forcible attention
to the recent inexcusable action of
Council in voting away a valuable
franchise which directly injured ard
effected the interests Of the city, in
one short evening, without either Off
cial scrutiny or publicity, and thinks
it rather late day for His Honor to
urge greater care. Between the lines
of this communication the purpose and
intent of the writer is made fairly
plain, although not expressed in
words.

passing the franchise for the Consum-
ers' Company in the manner it did, all
will agree. But now that it is law

private corporation the right to com

with any electric lighting venture the
city may hereafter enter into This
being so, for the protection of the pub
lie would it not be well to go one step
farther, and ensure competition? AS
matters stand. the Consumers Com
pany will have a monopoly after seven
years, and perhaps before that time.

GREED FOR PENSIONS.

Boston Herald.
This nation has been liberal in accord
ing pensions beyond any nation known in
history and beyond what was previously
conceived to be possible. 1t is the wonder
of the world for what it has done in this
respect. Yet a portion of the G. A. r.,
and that the portion that most often APP
pears before the pubic, is continually
claiming that the government does not do
enough for the soldiers. 1t attacks faith
full officers with every disposition to in
terpret liberal laws literally, as if they
were enemies instead of friends of the
soldiers. 1t reproaches the American
people, where gratitude is far more their
due. 1t interferes in politics, as we point
ed out in the case of its present candidate
for speaker of the National House of Rep
resentatives, few days ago. In a man
ner which means an appeal for more pen
sions, if it has any significance. Nothing
contents it. 1t already draws $3.50 900. 900
per annum from the national treasury
and 1t asks that this sum shall be in
creased.
We believe that this IS gross injustice
to the true soldiers of the land. They
are men to whom the hearts of the ma
ton go out in gratitude that no money
can measure The better portion of them
did not enlist for money; they went into
the field from a higher motive. That
another class among them should be con-
stantly calling for more money now in
the face of what the nation has done for
them in this respect is a wrong to the
real spirit that prevails among the sur
viving veterans which the Grand Army
may well take measures to make mani
fest.

Persistent Advertising
Brings Success.
A REAL REFORM,

The announcement that the Car has
determined to largely abolish the old
time Russian policy Of exiting political
offenders and common criminals to ST.
IBERIA, marks one of the greatest reforms
Of modern times, and will do much to
raise the popular estimation of the Rus
sian ruler the world over. The terrible
condition of Russian prisoners in Su-
IBERIA has long been known, but it has
reserved for George KEENAN, to thor
oughly expose the horrors of convict
life there, and the world stood aghast
a. his revelations of hardship, suffer-
ing, hopelessness and death. To even
mitigate the punishment of these I'M
~fortunates, criminals though they are,
will add greater glory to the reign of
the present Gar than could be gained
through any other act of his, perhaps,
and his determination, added to his
inception of the peace idea,zwill prove
that even Russia may yet come fully
up to the standards of high civiliza-
ton which sway the policies of other
nations. Progress in this regard in
Russia must necessarily be slow, for
her enormous and widely scattered pop
ulation is an exceedingly varied one
as to nationalities. and over vast
proportion of the empire education is
yet thing unheard of. Doubtless gov
ernmental rigor, often going to the ex-
tremest measures, was necessary, un-
der conditions not we'll understood by
the outside world, but little by little
there will come change, to the CORE
spending advantage of both the govern
ment and the governed.
That the latest action of the Car is
appreciated even by his enemies, is at
tested by the announcement from Mos
COW that the Nihilists have determined
upon the cessation of their terrorist
campaign, and that from this time on
assassination and violence generally
towards those in official power will
cease, and that henceforth peaceful
methods are to take the place of
bombs.
Thus one good thing has brought
about another, to Russia's great gain.

ONE PLAN OF RELIEF.

The New York World, an ardent gold
advocate, has discovered that the sup
ply of paper money is inadequate to
the demands of business, and as gold
will not circulate, suggests and urges
that the government issue new form
of paper currency, in the nature of
warehouse certificates against boarded
and locked-up gold, dollar for dollar.
The World adds:
This would add not one dollar to the
credit currency 1t would simply change
the form of boarded gold from an incon-
venient to a convenient one, and enable
everybody to use it freely"
What pity it is that 1.-The best and
only money won't circulate among
the people.

OUTSIDERS SHOULD LOOK OUT

Those who have followed the quota
lions of stocks in the recently formed
trusts with any great degree of care
will recognize the fact that there has
been a constantly downward tendency
in the commercial value of the securi-
ties representing their capital. American
tin and National steel are striking ex-
amples of this slump particularly in
the common stock, and number of
people not very far from Wheeling
have become convinced, through de-
parted dollars that there is something
wrong, and are strongly of the opinion
that somebody is unloading shares of
neatly printed stock, representing
fictitious values, upon a confding pub
lie.
That the big trusts were tremendous
~ over-capitalized, no sane man can
doubt. That they will ever pay any
thing like fair return upon the money
represented, even during the present
year, and this is the best year they
will have, cannot be shown, and that
nobody expects them to make adequate
return, is demonstrated by the figures
in the daily market quotations.

The Car has summary way of
dealing with China. He asked for an
important railway concession, and was
refused. The Russian government has
calmly announced that it is unable
to accept Chinas refusal of the con-
cession, and will send engineers to sur
vey the line at once" The Chinese
statesmen simply sighed, and let it go
at that.
