The move on the market was accele-
rated by only small London business, and
in the first hour il was found that London
had sold 10000 shares on balance. The
transactions in the second hour showed
large purchases in Southern Pacific and
Baltimore and Ohio. and the loan crowd
showed quite scarcity OF Cincinnati. Bur
lington and Quincy. In this state Of
affairs the market was advanced along
the general list, St Paul which has
hitherto been a tired brother, advancing
10 1l2 SIS. The Northwestern conditions.
which hitherto have not beer satisfactory,
were reported in better shape, and this
helped along the granger list.
Notwithstanding the general resili-
ency it is everywhere understood that
the formation OF many small pools in the
specialties, as in Chesapeake and Ohio
Southern, Sugar, and Brooklyn Rapid
Transit are responsible for the accelc-
rated advance in these properties. The
Flower brokers were the principal buyers
Of Brooklyn Rapid Transit. and the shorts

theories of persons who think that the
fate of good government depends on
their pet nostrums find vent in this ava
lanche Of paper, and the good-natured
carelessness with which many estimabe
citizens attach their names to pretty
nearly every petition for new legislation
that is presented to them often gives
these unnecessary measures u fictitious
aspect of popularity.
AS result the statute books are cum
bered with growing mass nf useless
enactments, and the time OF legislators
is wasted in the consideration of mul-
titude Of schemes which have no earthly
value. The same tendency is manifest
at the national capital. Congress is in
cessantly bombarded with petitions ask
ing for more laws OH about every con-
ceivable subject, ranging from the proh;-
bti m OF the use of feathers on women's
hats to measures which would funda-
mentally change the purposes and
structure of the Federal Government.
s 1t is true that most of these crazy pro-
jects are strangled in committee, but
they constitute nuisance, neverthe-
less.
There is urgent need for the creation
OF public sentiment that will recognize
the fact that the country has too many
laws already,and that will support legis
lators, both State and national, in re-
fusa To consider legislation which is no.
thoroughly justified.

From the Evening journal Of Yesterday.

From the Evening Journal of Yesterday.
Senator Turley, Of Tennessee, recalled
in the Senate the fact that Delaware
originated the theory that Governor
may by appointment fill Senatorial
vacancy that Legislature has omitted
to fill. He showed that in the first case,
that of Kensey Johns, of Delaware,
which was decided in 1894, practically
the same principle was at stake as in the
Quay matter, session of the Legislature
having intervened between the resigna-
tion of his predecessor and the appoint
ment of Johns. Johns was refused adj
mission. Mr.. Turley dwet upon the
fact that there were five members of the
Federal Convention who were members
of the Senate when this case was acted
on, and that four of them voted against
and one for the right OF the claimant to
seat.
If Senator kenney votes to seat Quay
it will probably be to get back at those
four builders OF the Constitution for

An Idfosyncraey in Trade.

A company that sells over 100000
900 pounds Of lard annually has queer
experiences with customers in different
parts of the world. For example:
Much of the product is packed in tier
ces, which for economy's sake and for
durability are held together with iron
hoops. For long time the sales in
New Orleans amounted to nothing,
though the lard was believed to be
the finest in the world, and the price
satisfactory, while the efforts TO build
ND a trade in the Crescent City were
strenuous. Finally it was learned hy
accident that the merchants would not
buy this lard, because Of the iron
hoops. Wooden hoops We're immodiate-
ly substituted. with the result that
enormous sales were effected. In Ten
nessae. on the other hand. the same
firm is unable to sell tierce bound
with wooden hoops. but must use iron.
Similar idiosyncrasies are experienced
in the sale Of hams. sansages bacon.

THE RING AND THE HEART

This ring, give to you. my dear,
Is passing quaint and old and queer;
Two golden serpents help enthrone
Its deep, seductive heart of stone
Pray. II the golden snakes were gone
Might not the jewel heart throb on
With sympathetic beat and thrill
Be not, as now, cold, hard and stIll7
Sometimes about the human heart
The serpents play their selfish part,
And in the pulseless grip OF gold
The heart, poor thing, grows hard and
cold
A Jewel counterfeiting fire
And flashing with entranced desire,
That nevermore shall find voice,
TO make some kindred heart rejoice.
Then let this talsman, this ring.
Save you from such a deadly thing:
Beware Of golden snakes. and strive
To keep your tender heart alive;
And II you fear this may not be
Without assistance, come to me,
And In my love will l enshrina
That deep, seductive heart of thine.
