AtIIinson Again.

That great iisturber Edward Atkins
son. and assailer Of the administrations
policy in the Philippines has broken out
in the North American Review in an
article in which he tries to answer the
question: Eastern Commerce: What
is it WORTH" The range OF Mr.. AtkiR-
sons vision is very narrow, with which
he combines a remarkable capacity for
singular inaccuracy. Commenting on
some of the features OF his composition
the Journal Of Commerce aptIy re-
marks: 1.-THE point OF Mr.. AtkInson's
argument is that there is something
grotesquely absurd in the commercial
support which is given to this Philip
pine war, because the commerce on
which alone 1t can have any beneficial
effect is not worth the price we are pay
ing for 1t. According to Mr.. Atkinson,
our exports for the last fiscal year to
both China and the Philippine Islands
amounted to only Sl5,OOOOOO outside the
British possessions. and he triumphant
~ asks: Admit that some merchants In
this country made profit Of million
and a half to three million dollars In
the export of fifteen million dollars
worth of goods In this branch of east
ern trade. could anything be more fool
lsh than to spend S2OO.OOOOOO to get it?'
Had the Philippine war been UNDER
taken simply for the purpose of ex-
pandIng American commerce, Mr.. At
kInson's question might have some rele-
vancy. AS commercial expansion is in-
cldental to the work which we have
found ourselves compelled to do, in the
interests Of civilization, in the Philip
pines, the question is decidedly dlsin-
genuous. But were the Immediate cost
of securing footing for the United
States in Asia to be compared with Its
possible benefits. prospective as well as
present, even Mr.. AtkInson's estimate
of Its amount might be accepted AS
very modest contribution to the safe
guarding Of interests which have fu>
ture value that ls simply inealculRble."

1mproved Fiuancial Conditions.


Financial conditions on Wall street
are very much improved. Easier money
and the removal Of anxiety in regard to
gold shipments have inspired a very
confident feeling. Henry Clews, In
his weekly circular letter, remarks that
more elastic money has been the most
powerful factor during the past week
on the bull side. flight money" he
saws. 'was the chief cause of the De-
cember panic. This clarified the atmos-
phere and left the way open for new
bull campaign as soon as conditions
favored. Intrinsic conditions are al
ready encouraging to rising market;
but much depends upon the disposition
Of the big leaders, and they have EVIL
IDENTIFY agreed upon the present upward
movement. OF late there have been
some sharp struggles between conflict
ing interests, which materially added
to the depression of the last two
months. There are indications, how
ever. that many of these differences
have been settled by one means OF Az
other, so that the obstacles to recovery
are now more less formidable. Ger
talnly with so many influences at work
favoring higher prices, it seems impos-
sble that the market can be indefinitely
prevented from responding.
"As just said. the easier condition Of
the money market is likely to be a
strong stimulus to buying Of stocks.
The foreign markets are all in a much
easier condition than expected; and,
while 1t is quite within the range of
probabilities that we export gold before
long, such a contingency causes no I'M
easIness among local bankers. The
African war has ceased to be an i'm
portant factor; apparently 1t has been
fully discounted; even the reverse at
splon Kop had little effect in London.
and absolutely none in New York. Our
financial independence of Europe, it is
plain to all. was never SO real as now;
ana we can regard ordinary dIstur-
Dances over there with more equanlm-
lty than formerly"

The kentucky situation.

wllAam Goebel's life was as dear to
him as It was to any citizen OF Ken
lucky, no matter what his political
creed or social condition. He was held
In tender affection by his surviving
brothers and sister. Their hearts are
naturally heavy and inconsolabie in
their afIlicNon. There are many people
in Kentucky who sympathized with the
man and his methods, who are on the
verge Of Mysteries over his death. His
assassination is as greatly deplored by
the Republicans OF Kentucky as 1t Is
by all decent.minded people Of the
country, nut 1t is just US well to do
justice as It is to mourn over q very
mournful condition Of affairs in a polit-
ically distracted state.
We are commended to speak nothing
but good of the dead, and that the
grave swallows up all evil man has
done. The sentiments are very fine,
and 1t would indeed be beautiful
world II all these things were true Of
the dead. Most unfortunately they are
not, for we are also reminded that the
evil men do in their lives lives after
them. In political as well as social and
business strife nothing succeeds like
success, but a true and lasting triumph
rests solely upon honor, and honorable
methods Of attainment. Mr.. Goebel has
left sorry legacy to his state and to
his people. His career has been char
acterIzed by masterful domination
of faction Of his party for the most
reprehensible ends. BY his imperious
methods he has brought the stain Of
blood upon the state. In his lifetime
he so shamed decency and reputable
politics as to lncIte and inhame the pas
slons of men to the present pitch. He.
and he alone, is accountable for Ken
tuckys sad plight to-day.
It Is claimed that he has done every
thing within the bounds of law. Whose
law? The very measure he framed and
forced down the throats of an unwill-
Ing constituency that gagged while
swallowing it.

TAYLOR CASE AFFIRMED.
A Short History of Case Concerning
Oltumwa PARTIES

OItumWa Faftless
From Wednesdays Daily.
The case of Kittie G. Taylor VS.. C. o.
and Emma E. Taylor, which was ap-
pealed from the Wapello district court
to the supreme court by the defend
ants, was affirmed by that body yes
terday, thus sustaining Judge Roberts
in his ruling on the trial of the case in
this court. The case was originally
brought b. Kittie c. Taylor to enforce
a certain contract between her and the
defendants, by the terms of which the
defendants agreed to pay the plaintiff
the sum of $3.50 per month during her
lifetime in consideration of the plaintiff
deciding to defendants her interest in
the Taylor building at the corner of
Court and Main streets. The defend-
ants failed to comply With the terms
of the contract for a few months, and
plaintiff, thru her attorneys, Work &
Lewis, brought suit to enforce the col
lection of the allowance according to
the contract. The case went to the
supreme court, not on the main ques-
ton, but upon side issue, where it
was claimed by the defendants that
the plaintiff has set up new cause of
action in her amended petitions. The
court below ruled that she had not
and the supreme court sustained the
contention. Judgment was entered
June 6, 1898, on the trial of the case in
this court, and amounted to $906.25.
The case was appealed July 10, 1898.
