FOR AN EARLY CONVENTION.

Local Democratic leaders apparently
are in favor of an early Democratic
national convention, because 1t would
enable them to get in the field early
with their state, aldermanic and town
tickets. AS the delegates to the State
convention of the Democratic party In
Illinois select the delegates to the ma
tional convention 1t may Ike necessary
to hold the state convention the first
or second week in February. Ex-GOv.
Altgeld for long time has advocated
the ACCESSIBILITY Of having the national
convention as early as possible. Charles
A. Walsh, secretary of the national
committee, was a visitor at the ways
and means bureau and, according TO
report. expressed himself as not OppOs.
ed to the early date proposition.
Mr.. Walsh arranged to take up the
work Of the ways and means commit.
tee in Iowa next week and give IL his
personal attention. He will adopt the
same plan, or one similar to It, for rails.

Congregations of capitar'-a gathering
of radicals and freaks whose extreme
utterances of the stereotyped order
would have no effect on public opinion.
Hut the movement has outgrown all
these expectations. At length 1t be-
gan to be taken seriously and 1t is now
probable that the conference will be
one of the most important gatherings
of public men, leading thinkers and
writer's, publicists, financiers and econ
omists ever held in the country. The
lists of delegates from the several
states contain the names of able rep
resentative men, leaders Of parties.
leaders of public opinion and leaders in
great business enterprises.
The discussions will be shared be-
tween advocates Of opposite principles.
The New York Tariff Reform League
has asked that one or two special ses-
siOns be set apart for the discussion Of
the question of protective tariffs and
trusts. The ablest speakers and writ
ers on the side Of commercial freedom
between nations will be met by the
ablest advocates Of the measures Of
| the New York Protective Tariff League
and the Boston Home Market Club.
The Attorney Generals Of twenty
states will be present to discuss the
State antitrust laws and the methods
of their enforcement. The Labor Com.
missioners of the various States will
be in attendance.
The two conspicuous men of the New
York delegation are John q. Carlisle
the exISpeaker of the House and Presi.
dent Cleveland's Secretary of the
Treasury, who now resides In New
York city-and Chauncey NJ. Depew, a
leading officer Of the greatest railroad
combination in the world. Other States
| will be represented by men equally
prominent in public affairs. The ad.
vantage Of systems Of great trusts and
combinations VIII be exemplified by
powerful advocates and the popular
opinion Of the subject will have equally
able Spokesman. The collision Of senti'
ment will be sharp and the high de-
bate will be most instructive. as II
will relate to NIL the operations. infiu.
ences and effects Of the system Of com.
bines and trusts which now prevail In

BUY IN OTIS SHARES.

Otis Elevator stocks are said to be
In a rather unique position among the
securities Of new industrial cOmbina-
tions. They are not listed, and. though
constantly sought on the outside mar.

Those on the inside Of the company are
said to have standing orders ont for
the purchase Of the preferred stock

have been paid on the preference issue.
and the board will meet the second
Tuesday in September to declare the

West Pullman, East Chicago and other
Industrial suburbs, but until they have
fully determined which offers the best
transportation facilities nothing will be
decided on for recommendation to the
board Of directors. The building OF this
new plant will probably call for the
expenditure Of 100000. and for that
reason 1t Is not likely that the common
stock will be given a dividend before
the spring Of 1900, though 1t Is under

ton In the passenger elevator business.
This was the purchase OF the Frazer
patent, which was controlled In Cali
fornia and was being introduced on the
coast In competition with the Otis de-
vices. The acquisition Of this device
Is said to put the company In posses.
sion Of all the most desirable elevator
patents. Extensive additions have
been built at the Yonkers plant Of the
Otis company to meet the anticipated
heavy business Of next year. With a
view Of gaining position of indepen.
dence with respect to the material of
the business plans have been made Ia

CHICA0O vNiON TRACTiON COM.
PANX.

The committee on stock list Of the
Chicago Stock Exchange have admit
ted the securities Of the Chicago Union
Traction Company to the unlisted de-
partment. This action was taken at
the instance Of the committee itself
without application from the company.
These stocks have been extensively
traded In Of late on the outside. and
prices have fuctuated In an erratic and
aimless manner, houses on opposite
sides Of La Sale street frequently
showing quotations several points d..
vergent at the same time. In this case
the committee saw the danger Of los
Ing the business In these securities,
especially MS there has been fled an
application for listing on the New York
exchange. Since the admission Of the
securities to the unlisted list was not
made on the application Of the COM
pany no statement of any kind was
submitted to the committee.
Surprising activity In the issues fol-
lowed the action Of the board, 1905
shares of the common being sold ut
prices ranging between 37h ana 3SN,
and the preferred showing sales OF 600
shares between S3% and 81. With the
common selling at 80 1t Ia reasonable
to expect that the preferred will soon
seek higher level.
Mr.. W. W. Gurley, as counsel to the
President of the Union Traction Com
pany. is attending to the company's
legal affairs during the absence of Mr..
Spalding. He has been devOting his
attention to a preparation of the COM
pany's docket for the fall term of the
courts and to other business requiring
the personal supervision of President
Spalding or his legal counsel. Presi-
dent Spalding Is expected to return
from his brief rest at the seashore some
time next week. 1t Is likely that he
will have important announcements to
make at that time both rs to the per-
sonnet Of the executive and advisory
departments and as to the policy of Inc
company.

CANAL TRUSTEES SHOULD ACT.

1t would appear that the contractors
on the drainage canal IRE soldering
still. for the trustees have found II
necessary to call upon their attorney
for instruction as to the legal method
by which they may take immediate
possession Of the unfinished sections.
They say that no one Of the three firms
against whom their action Is directed
will he able to complete work by the
date set, Dec. /, II progress is made
at the present rate. A large force
should be engaged and as many men
should be employed by day rs by night.
In partial reply there is telegram
from Joliet which reports that one con-
tracing firm has sent out advertise
ments for 800 new men, and that II N
paying exceptionally big wages. From
$l.75 to 20 day Is offered for com.
mon laborers, the highest figure ever
paid in Joliet.
No doubt there IL some scarcity In
the labor market, but II the contractors
will be as jealous In their search for
men as they have been In their demand
for extras their success should be bril-
liant. The various concerns which are
even yet making haste so slowly held
up the people Of Chicago not long since
for little less than a quarter Of a mill
lon dollars. In this way only can we
characterize a proceeding which left
the trustees In decidedly difficult d..
lemma.
The work had been dragging for
months when 1t was fully realized that
1t was of the utmost importance to the
district that the opening should not he
deferred beyond the first of December.
Yet we may judge from the promises
of year and half or two years ago
that the delay was entirely unneces-
sary. Its practical effect was to bring
us down to this summer with those I'M
finished sections and so to put the CON
tractors in a position to issue an ulti-
matum. The enemies of the canal We're

before Congress met it was morally
certain that the channel would never
be closed again. Completion OF the
great work In the meantime had be-
come Imperative, and the contractors
held out their hands palms up.
II there Is to be any more of this
kind OF business the sooner they are
ousted and their contracts forfeited the
better. In fact, II Is doubtful If II IL

such cases, and II the trustees would
not have acted wiser II they had re-,

REED ron PAR1Y NOMINEE.

III Thomas Il. Reed IL a Presidential
nominee next year 1t will he as the
nominee of the Republican party ami
not of any independent Republican
movement. Public opinion In the Re
publican party Is setting so strongly
against Mr. McKinley's amazing AMI
dangerous foreign policy that the anti
imperiallsts will control the nominating
convention next year,
This Is the declarat iOn of Edwin Bur-
rift Smith, the aggressive lawyer, Re
publican aud leader of the an,i-imperi-
alist movement In the West. 1t was
called forth by the dispatch from
Washington announcing that the Re
publican anti-imperlalists would holt
the party and nominate the eX-Speaker
of the House Of Representatives rs
their Presidential candidate. II was
said that Mr.. Reed had been approach
ed on the subject and had practically
given his consent to lead the anti-eX-
panslOn people of the country in OppO-
sitlon to the present administration.
Mr. Smith said he had not heard of
Any SutH movement anu UOtlDltu thai
it had gone farther than n suggestion
in some locality owing to the well
known opposition Of Thomas Il. Reed
to the expansion policy of Mr.. McKin-
ley. II would have heard something
about the movement had 1t taken any
definite FORM" said Mr.. Smith. II am
personally opposed to organizing an in
dependent party at this time. The pro-
test of the common people against the
policy of the administration Is growing
in volume each day. The people have
regained their common sense way of
looking at the situation now that the
war Is over and the administration has
begun to see and realize the extent of
the opposition Of the country to waging
a war against a people struggling for
their liberty and to forcing Oriental
possessions upon this Government.
II regard an Independent nomination
next year." continued Mr.. Smith, "as
highly improbable. Public opinion In
both parties Is almost certain to set
