sherman Not Invited-It

sherman Not Invited.-It is learned
that 70 invitation has yet been extended
to the Hon John Sherman by Mr.. Hanna
to attend the Philadelphia Convention as
the guest OF the National Committee Mr.
Hanna is searching for the founders CT the
Republican party with the view of making
them the guests of the National Committee
at Philadelphia in June. II is said thal
he has discovered an even dozen OF these
venerable citizens. two of whom are nox
Democrats. and that the ten who have re-
manned true to the faith through all Of
its various reyisions and mutations have
been urged by him to attend the National
Convention as guests OF honor. The Hen
John Sherman presided over the first Re
publican Convention ever held in Ohio ard
was one Of the national founders Of the
party. He helped to nominate its first
candidate. General Fremont. and as far
as known has never voted any other than
the Republican ticket since that campaign.
1t is true that Mr.. Sherman i a little free.
not to say reckless. with his tongue on oc-
casion, but whatever criticisms he may
have felt at liberty to make of his party
during the past two Or three years. it Is
stated that he still is loyal Republican.
Indeed, he recently expressed himself as
very DESTROYS of Republican success this
year, and went even to the extent Of PIE
dieting Mr.. McKinley's unanimous renom-
nation In view of these expressions. it
Cannot be understood why Mr. Hanna
should not include the name of John Sher-
man in the list Of founders whom be has
invited to attend the Philadelphia Convex
ton as guests OF the National Committee.

AMERICAN Mailing COMPANY.
Report of Investigating Committee
to the Stockholders

NEW YORK, March 4.-The commit
tee appointed to make an investigation
into the workings of the American Malt
ing company have completed their labors
and reported to the stockholders. The
report, in part, says:
ION organization there was issued to
party who held purchasing options on
certain mailing plants situated in diff
ferent states $13,740 900 of the common
stock and $12,5OOOOO of the preferred
stock, which, with $4,000 Of the common
stock originally subscribed for in cash
would represent par total value of $780,
250, 600, of which the sum of 81, 500 900 re-
mains as a working capital.
The books do not show a valuation of
any individual plant, or what any selling
malster received, but simply says the
sum mentioned above was the par value
of the plants
"At the end ofthe company's fiscal year,
Dec. 81, 1898, computations of the compa-
ny's profits were made for the first time.
They covered period of one year two
months and twenty days. After deduct
ing $500 for four quarterly dividends
of Ia per cent each, paid on the preferred
stock, bookkeeping surplus of $914, 1854
was shown.
This profit balance was obtained by
crediting profit and loss account In the
following manner: There were on hand
at that date executory contracts for
about 100000 bushels Of malt (nearly one
half of the companys annual businessl
manufactured and sold, but not delivered.
1t was computed that this malt when de-
livered would realize a profit of 1888, OS3,
and this estimated amount was treated
as a net profit, without deduction for adj
ministration and incidental expenses.
While your company has earned an
excess over operating expenses, including
interest on floating debt, such earnings
have been far below Z per cent on $14,-
100000 of preferred stock.
Profits were determined and dividends
declared by dead reckoning a dividend
having been declared within three months
after business began
The requirements of sundry small
plants, at excessive values, impaired the
working capital and increased the ex
penses of the company, although its bus
mess did not need such plants.
Economies in general administration
manufacturing and distribution have not
resulted from bringing the various plants
into one ownership
Originally the company acquired TWEEN
two plants, situated in this state. MI
nois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania
and Ohio. Later additional plants were
acquired, some of them in this city. sew
eral others in various places and one in
Des Moines 1t has also eighteen ele-
vator plants, located in Minnesota and
Wisconsin.

boom in wheat was to the West With
the staple at its present price, the South
can fairly claim that cotton is king
again after having been dethroned for
many years. The higher price for cotton
justifies higher prices for the good South
ern stocks, and the reduction in the price
for wheat which has taken place this
Week-representing as it does the pros
pect of good winter wheat crop-should
also impart confidence to Western rail-
road properties

statement is unfavorable, as the treas

the banks have also lost to the interior.
There is one satisfaction, however, and
that is that the money has not gone out
Of the country.
SIGNIFICANT MOVE.
The $25, 10000 Russian loan taken I'm
this country recently is certainly signih-
cant and shows how fast Wall street is
becoming the worlds market, vying with
London In that respect. The time is
coming when government securities of all
nations will be dealt in at the New York
stock exchange as an inevitable sequence
of the fabulous growth of wealth in this
country.
The following was written and printed
in my weekly letter under date of JAM Is,
and as it has been verified by recent
events it bears reprinting today:
The Boer victories are about at an
end. If they have not been able to take
Ladysmith and Kimberley, with their adj
vantages at their zenith in the contest,
1t is pretty sure they will not do so
hereafter, because the British are apt to
soon forge ito the rear of the Beers for
tificattons and move rapidly on Pretoria,
thereby compelling the Beers to give up
their present impregnable intrenchments
and march home for the protection of
their capital and the archives Of the gov
eminent. The British certainly must
have learned the stupidity Of attacking
ri'i Beers behind Notifications which
they have been erecting for the last
several years, and, as a result Of their
experience, wise and sagacious strategy
hereafter adopted. We may therefore eX-
pect any moment to hear that the Brit
ish have circumvented the Boer army
and are moving into the enemy's coun-
try and preparing to give battle, the re-
suit of which is plain to be seen, so that
British victories may be expected at no
distant date. We continue to advise
near shore during the month of March
BERLIN MONEY-Berlin, March A.
The conditions of the money market have
grown less favorable. Private discount
was on the rise all of last week the total
rse being 70. This is quite exceptional
as easier money almost invariably fol-
lows the monthly settlement. The tight
ness in money reacted unfavorably upon
clining, reaching the lowest figures on
record yesterday. Coal and iron shares
have also suffered, one cause being the
prospect of American competition.

Doan's Kidney Pills They cure the lame

ney disorders and the troubles Of those
whose urinary organism is wrong in it's
action. That they do this is so easy to
prove that not vestige of doubt remains.
Public Endorsement of local citizens is
easily proven. Read this case:
Mrs. A. Fitzpatrick, of 145 Mt. Airy, says:
'Mr. Fitzpatrick has on number of oc-
casions spoken of the great value of
Doan's Kidney Pills which he had the
good fortune to learn about and get a
box at F. M. Parkers drug store, corner
of Wabasha- and Fifth streets. He had
pains in his back which were very severe
after a days work. The use of Doan s
Kidney Pills so wonderfully benefited him
that he heartily recommends them to all
