A good advance in American Cotton Oil
seems probable in the near future.

The meeting of the directors of the Colo
rado Fuel and Iron Company was scheduled
to take place today to take action on the
issuance Of new stock to the amount of
$12, 100000 1t is said that the issue will
be recommended, but that financial con-
cern in New York has agreed to take the
entire issue, or as much as is to be placed
on the market. The outlook for the stock
is considered excellent by careful traders.
The evening times., 1899-09-25

Nothing of Importance developed in the
stock market this morning, the dealings
being largely professional, and prices fiuc-
tuating within narrow limits during the
early hours. The opening was at a de-
cline from Saturdays close, and there was
a slight recovery In the general list from
the opening figures. Later there was a
disposition to sell again, though it appear
ed TO be Of no particular Importance. The
general impression is that the next move
ment OF any consequence is likely to be
upward. Many are inclined 10 the opinion
that the presence of crowds in New York
during the Dewey celebration and the
yacht races will help the market. 1t is
beyond question that large sum of money
will be spent by the visitors in the city,
which will help the financial situation.
More than this, the crowd will be COM
posed, to certain extent, of speculatively
inclined people. There is likely to be dis
counting of this easier condition, and there
is also a great probability that the profes-
sionals will wish TO have prices high when
the outsiders reach the city. Buying is ad-
yised on recessions.
There were no features in the carly tiad-
ing. Brooklyn was the most active stock
on the list and although 1t went off some
what at the opening, getting below IS,
uedsy dl lual price, Dy the luslu-
ers apparently, gave 1t better tone later.
There seems to be a very good possibility
that Brooklyn will continue to be the fea-
ture of the list this week as 1t was last
The friends of the stock are most hopeful.
One effect of the festivities in New York
will naturally be an immense traffic on the
traction lines.

little ground in the early weakness. In ad-
dition to the support that Mr.. Keene is
giving the stocks there has been some good
public buying of late on the theory that if
the adjustment of the two securities is
brought about it will be certain to help
them in the stock market. The company
is in reality earning enough to pay fair
dividend on both classes of stock if they
were on a fairer basis.

A good many plans have been devised
to discourage liquor drinking, but the
latest and most unique idea has been
submitted to the Michigan legislature.
Under this new plan a drinker must
take out a license paying s. a year
therefor, and advertise the fact in a
newspaper. No one may sell liquor to
any person not having the proper lie
ense to drink, and the drinker and
seller are both liable to a fine for VIC
lsting the same. But would this plan
decrease liquor consumption? After a
man had paid the required 8 for the
privilege of buying and drinking liquor,
how would he get his moneys worth?
If be only took one drink during the
year the expense would be s. plus the
price of the drink If two were taken
it would be $3.50 plus the bar bill If
500 we're taken the license would only
be one cent per drink. And wouldn't
the greater portion Of persons after
taking out the license and standing
their names in the newspaper celebrate
the occasion by taking as many drinks
as could be obtained?

viii Protest Shutting on Water Nights.
Co nsiderable interest is being taken
by large portion of the population
on the question of turning off the city
water at night. For some time it has
been the custom to shut off the water
at nights, but the order has lately been
repealed But the patrons of city water
would like to see a ticket nominated for
the coming municipal election, the
candidates Of which are favorable to
all night water, and to that end a move
ment is on foot to have such a ticket
placed in nomination. That the turn
ing of of the water at night worked an
injustice and annoyance to patrons
cannot be denied, and from the vigor-
Gus protests fled by the water consum-
ers, it Is hardly probable that a like
order viii ever be made by succeeding
councils.

Dr. Thomas, in his lecture on Cuba
aud Cubans," at the opera house Fri
day evening, said that the Cubans are
incapable of self government. He de-
duced the conclusion from the premi-
ses that they were ignorant and emo
tiOnal- While an opinion formed from
a three months experience on the
island cannot be received as at all alb
solate, on the other hand many other
experienced men differ with him on
this point. At any rate his decision IS
unEarranted. As to their inability to
govern themselves, it would be idle for
any one to attempt to impress this fact
upon the people at large. Their idea Of
government may be less perfect than
is our conception Of it, but their pur-
pose firm is equal to the deed. An az
gregated people cannot be imagined
apart from government It is an in
herent and inseparable attribute Of
society. and when q man makes bold to
say that they cannot govern them
selves he reasons falsely. The Cubsns
