Let us look ahead little. The Ad-
dicks delegates will go to Philadelphia,
and the National Committee will de-
eide. against them. They will appeal
to the Committee on Credentials and
1t will report against them. They will
fight on the floor, and the convention
will decide against them. Then they
will make threats and come home to
tell their people that the failure Of the
national organization to recognize them
carries with it no weight, because the
National Convention doesn't stand foI
anything particular, anyhow"

Democrats are. as usual. on the un-
popular side of every question in this
campaign. The Republican admins
tration has been clean and wholesome
in al respects Democrats raise issues
already passed upon and condemned by
the American people because they can
do nothing else. The nation has had
an era Of unprecedented prosperity; il
has passed through a war with Spain
with conclusive and glorious result. 1t
has established good order in Cuba and
Porto Rico. and is making rapid prog
ress in subduing the insurrechon in the
Philippines. Free Silver is dead, and
the Trust issue has failed to benefit the
Democrats in the past. All they can
go upon is the issue OF anti-expansion
and the theory of instituting a reign of
terror in Cuba. Porto Rico and the
Philippines by leaving the people at the
mercy of designing native chieftains.
Expansion is popular;sound currency Is
popular and prosperity is popular. The
Republican party can go before the
voters fully confident OF their support.
1900 will be remembered long as a year
of Democratic disaster att he polls.

ONE WEEK OF Trade

Commenting on the condition Of
trade. Bradstreets says to-day:
Readjustments of price quotations to
meet the changed conditions Of supply
and demand are still the leading fea-
lures OF general trade. In volume the
business doing is Of a between seasons
character, improvement in some lines
being balanced by increased
dullness I'm other branches. That the
basic conditions of trade are in the main
Of a favorable nature, however. is
proved by the continued good railroad
earnings which came to hand. The fact
seems to be that the volume of busi-
ness offered the transportation inter-
ests of the country continues consider
ably in excess OF a year ago. Crop re-
ports are relatively most favorable as
regards corn and oats. In the South
west wheat crop prospects are still
maintained at a high average. The
7 general trade situation. in fact is not
really as poor as has been represented
! In some quarters. nor. on the Other
! hand, is il nearly as good as was cX.
I pected.
Most prices are lower on the week

uniavorable French crop advices

whence an enormous reduction in yield
Is predicted, and also rather blue re-
ports from the Northwest early in the
week, mended in some respect by the
rains mentioned.
Corn has been quite strong, n0twith-
standing favorable crop prospects, but
the chief strength of values Is confined
to sugar and coffee, the former on an
other reported settlement Of the sugar
war and the latter on the fairly strong
statistical position. Some further liqui-
datiCn has been noted in cotton, andthe
price has been sunk TO nine cents.
Southern advices are that except in
Texas crop prospects are good, and II
is significantly added that the South
retains very little actual cotton, having
parted with IL at high prices. In tex
tiles the situation is rather depressed,
although some improvement in reor-
ders for dry goods is noted in leading
jobbing centres. Print cloths have been
marked down by the Fall River Com
mittee, but this is merely a tardy rec
ogniton of hitherto known facts.
In its report r. G.. & Co.'S
weekly review OF trade says:
While returns OF failures in May by
branches of business cannot be given
until next week II can be stated that
not over six months in more than six
years have shown as large defaulted
liabilities as May will show, owing TO
the failure of a firm principally en-
gagged in cotton brokerage. The re-
ported liabilities of this one firm ex-
ceed those for all firms failing in every
month but one last year, and In every
month but three in 1898. Manufacture
ing failures ~ four weeks of Nay were
only s2.4S6,54 and trading failures
$4,720,301, while failures In brokerage
and "other commercial" lines amount
ed to s1392S,S22 The decline in cot
ton to nine cents and the reduction of
regular print cloths to 3is cents at Fall
River, with outside sales at cents, in
dicate that speculation in this case may
have somewhat checked business and
industry.
The rapid progress of events in Af-
rlca, with prospect that the war will
soon end and the gold supply from
that region will be resumed, has natu-
rally affected both money and securi-
ty markets on both sides Of the ocean.
Needs of foreign borrowing may be
much reduced, and hindrance TO for
eign investments here in large meas
ure removed. But the demand upon
American machine works and other
supplies are likely to be materially in
creased whenever the restoration Of
industries in South Africa begins.

II is evident that there are many
United States senators who would
rather place their trust in Legislatures
than in voters. II is not a matter of
surprise that the Senate has refused to
concur in the House joint resolution
for the election Of senators by the di-
rect vote Of the people. A Legislature
is more easy Of manipulation than an
electorate.

The black sea bass Is very abundant
here and not sunpalatable when cooked
properly. At the annual banquet OF the
Tuna Club the piece de resistance was
black sea bass Of 60 or 20 pounds,
which silenced critics by proving good
eating. This banquet was remarks
able one in the annals OF angling. Prob
ably never before have so many men
who have taken big fish with the rod
gathered together. At the head OF the
table was the retiring president, Chas.
i. Holder. who held the record for
year for 1SO-pound tuna. On his
right was Colonel C. P. -Morehouse. for
merly of Newport, who had just beaten.
this record with 251-pound tuna, and
who has taken every game fish known.
On the left OF the POSTMASTER was J.

a record for large yellow tail with
light split bamboo. Next to him was

and an old Indian fighter, who now
fights tuna and held for time the
worlds record with black sea bass of
300 pounds. Then came Mr.. Woods, Of
Lima, Ohio, who played a tuna, esti
mated at GOO pounds. for IA hours and
then lost 1t gafFing Beside him sat F.

est yelowtail-4l pounds. Then came

E. l.. Doran, holding office by being the
record breaker. SO far as numbers are
concerned, in the tuna class. having
taken IS fish In one season. Beyond him
sat C. C. Paine, of Cleveland, whose
catches of yellowtail and tuna made
him famous; then W. Fl. Burnham,
commodore of the Santa Catalina Yacht
Club, holding the record for taking
tuna in the shortest time, ten minutes.
At the banquet he told the story. 1t
semes that he hooked the fish In the
eye. paralyzIng it, and brought 1t up
in the remarkable time given: but the
moment the fish was in the boat 1t re-
covered and nearly wrecked the boat.
