SOME INDUsTRIALS, AND OTHERS.

The reduction of the dividend Sugar. the
melancholy disclosures in regard TO Mating,
and the appointment of receivers for the Flour
Milling Company do not alter the real value OF
industrial stocks. But they change public i'm
pressions regarding such stocks, and with re-
spect to some the change is liable to be unjust.
The three events do not mean the same thing.
The Flour Milling combination comes TO grief
because there never was sound industrial
reason for it, Judging from disclosures so far
made, the public viii probably conclude that
this was a stock jobbing arrangement. In oper-
atoms of this kind the promoters do not always
care what becomes OF the industry after they
have taken their profit in tie shape of stocks
and found credulOus public 20 pay money for
them. If the former owners Of works purchased
regarded the operation in the same light, and
made haste to turn into cash the securities
which they received in payment for property
and goodwill, the only question was whether
the former owners or the promoters could get
out first and with the largest share of the gains.
In such cases there is left a lot of property
owned by people who know nothing Of its value
and nothing Of the business by which alone 1t
can be made valuable, and the collapse, though
an industrial disaster, is failure only on the
stock jobbing side.
The Mailing concern has been in business
long enough TO test its earning power. This
does not appear to have been a stock jobbing
operation only. but. at least on the part of many
psrficipants. an honest effort to obtain by con-
solidation a more profitable business and greater
economy in management than had been at
tanned by separate works. The question whether
some individuals sold out in time and pocketed
profits from the public when il deluded by
payment Of dividends not really earned itln
this case not essential. The main fact is that
expectations as TO earnings were found errone-
Gus and that the concern was doomed TO fail
from the first by excessive capitalization. II
was expected TO earn enough to give something
ike decent value to stocks representing many
millions more than the true value Of the prop
erty The overhauling of its affairs only proves
that many Of those inside We're es much de-
Iuded about its earning possibilities as any Of
the outside public.
The Sugar company has been much longer on
trial and has not yet arrived at failure or con-
cesson of disaster II is true that If the
testimony Of Mr. Havemeyer and other officers
Of the concern be taken determining the
actual cost of refining sugar, then the company
must have paid out dividends many millions
more than IL has earned. and must now be
doing business at loss. Nobody puts entire
confidence In any Of the revelations which come
from those sources. because they do not agree
and are not made III the only way I'm which
AAGh statements can command conddencs-as

MUSIC.
A BROOKLYN CHAMBER CONCERT.


The Brooklyn Institute began another series of
chamber concerts last evening in Association Hall.
and in the other musical affairs it has provided
showed the seriousness of its aims by engaging
Mr.. Knese Mr.. Schroeder and Mr. Whiting. who
were heard in concerted music. and Mrs. Katherine
Fisk, who sang several contralto songs with lovely
voice and impeccable taste. Mr.. Kneisel and Mr..
Whiting gave admirable performance of
Brahmss A major violin sonata-a performance
that Is We'll known to amateurs hereabouts for its
warmth sincerity and poise; and Mr.,
Schroeder played with Mr.. Whiting two move
ments from Rub,nsteins ID major cello sonata,
giving another plain showing OF the breadth and
dignity of his art: the two movements We're instinct
with color and passionate vigor and A delightful
incisveness OF rhythm. Even more beautiful
the three movements from schuberts r fiat piano

bnation unduly neglected by chamber musicians,
and in itself wholly charming composition. They
played II with admirable spirit and understanding.
These things were all charming. so far they
went. and so. too. the evident delight of the
audience in them. which made manifest by
hearty applause. But why two torsos. pre-
serted 20 such a thoroughly musical gathering?

Mrs Fisk sang at the end OF her selections. both

by dint OF Industrious effort the part of few
Mrs Fisk was induced 10 repeat the last stanza of
OF these songs II was plain that the audience
did not sympathize with the effort. 1t reserved its
real tribute for the masterpieces that set
fore 1t. Is there here hint that the authori-
ties of the Brooklyn Institute would do we'll 10

THE OLD DEMOCRATIC WAR CRY

The Cincinnati Commercial Tribune
has printed the following extract from
an editorial which appeared in the In
dianapolis Sentinel in 1864. a few
Of that year:
Should Mr.. Lincoln be reelected
the revolution will be accomplished.
This will be no longer a republic of
the United States, but a consolidated
empire. Every safeguard must. soon
cr or later. give way. The limitations
of the executive power will not be III
the constitution, but in the pleasure
of tho president. > $ = We implore
patriotic and intelligent men to pause
and roilcc and give their verdict on
Tuesday next. II the people will not
save their priceless constitution and
Union, it is lost
This sounds very much like the way
the anti-oXpansiOnists are talking to-
day. and it is suggestive of democrat
ic inability to learn anything that the
Sentinel is now supporting Mr.. Bryan.
The democrats of this day and gen
Grafton are crying out against the re-
publican administration just as their
predecessors did thirty-siX years aCD.
They are pretending to be guardians
of the republic and defenders of the
constitution just as they did WHEN IN
1864 they tried to prevent Mr.. Lin
coins reelection. They profess now.

The chief industries in Wyoming
are live stock raising, farming. coal
mining, and railroad operation. The
state also has extensive and rich min
eral resources as yet but partially de-
veloped, although several thousand
men are employed in this work. Sheep,
cattle and horse raising form the
greatest industry of the state. Dur
m~inistratiOn, and under the direct OPP
eratiOns of the Wilson tariff law. the
condition of the sheep and wool in
dustry in Wyoming was appalling.
Sheep brought less than one dollar a
head; wool sold for five cents and
sometimes less per pound. and NUT
ton shipments would scarcely realize
the railroad freight to market. There
was no sale for breeding sheep and
the future for the industry seemed
hopeless. During that four years the
highest annual assessed valuation of
all the sheep in the state was $1.3OS,-
600.
But with the Mckinley administra-
ton and the Dingley tariff of 1897
came a decided change. Stock sheep
which could scarcely find a purchaser
at a dollar a head, now sell for four
dollars. Wool, under the Wilson tar,
if, netted to the growers at the ranch
but five cents per pound. 1t now brings
from fifteen to seventeen cents. Nut,
ton. for which there was no sale in
democratic days, now sells for from
four to six cents a pound on foot. And

SENATOR WARREN
WRITES TO AN EASTERN PAPER
ON WYOMING POLITICAL
SITUATION.
A Frank and Conservative Statement
The Issues That Are of Para
mount Importance to the People
of This State-Prosperity Has
Come With the Republican Ad-
mi~nistration.

The Republican takes pleasure in
presenting to its readers a letter writ
ten by Senator Warren to an eastern
paper. 1t is conservative and frank
and presents the political situation in
Wyoming as it is. The letter follows:
The people of Wyoming are vitality
and intensely interested in the out
come of the present campaign. Wyo-
ming has been a state but a little over
eight years and of this period -four
years each of democratic and repub-
lican government have served to i'm
press upon the minds of its people two
distinct and impressive object les
ons. The first period was during the
democratic administration from 1898
to 1896 inclusive. in which we suffered
so severely in business matters and
when our material conditions were
confessedly so devoid of hope that as
we look back it all seems like a hid
enUs nightmare.
The second period of four years is
, 1900-10-04

the assessed valuation of sheep in
Wyoming is now $5,426,493, a gain in
four years of over three hundred per
cent.
The contrast between the cattle in,
dustry under the democratic and re.
publican administrations is almost as
sion and ruin was the rule. Cows sold
down to thirteen dollars a head {;
calves for four and five dollars, and
steers when marketed netted the
stockmen at the ranch from eighteen
to twenty-four dollars. The assessed
valuation of cattle shrank to $3,i37,-
l24. The cattle growers of the state
were Respondent and it appeared prob
able that this great industry was to
be entirely destroyed. But, as in the
sheep business, the election of McKin-
ley and Inauguration of republican
policies wrought a marvellous change.
Mixed herds of cattle for the past
three years have sold for thirty to
t~hirty-five dollars a herd and steers
now net the cattle raiser from forty
five to fifty-five dollars each. The as
sessed valuation of cattle in the state
now amounts to Sc, 1854 900 and is rap
idly increasing.
In 1896 horses were of so little value
that frequently the wner would not
go to the expense of gathering them
from the ranges and bands of them
roamed wild and unclaimed. Now,
with British, German and Mexican
agents purchasing horses, and with
abundant work in our own country,
horses are in great demand, and
prices have advanced to a figure which
affords a handsome profit to the rails
err.
Under the past four years of repub-
.licanism, Wyoming has grown to be
an important factor among the coal
producing states. At the present time
the state holds second place as a coal
producer in the Rocky mountain re-
