were a few railroad stocks beside the
Southwestern group which made a stand
against the weakness. but the majority of
railroad stocks closed at from / to points
under Thursdays last prices. There was
general feeling that the advance in
prices on the strength of the general out
look had about reached its limit.
The failure of the early efforts to-day
TO get prices up caused disappointment
and uneasiness and when prices began to
crumble large speculative holdings were
thrown over. The absence of initiative
from the London exchange. which was
closed deprived the market of a usual
sustaining force. The course of the money

Further Immediate Declines Are

Local and photographic Markets.
Morning News Office. April 16.-Nothing
of interest developed in the local markets
to-day. The feature was the further de-
cline in the turpentine market,which went
off a cent al the opening, closing firm at
acc. The prevailing opinion is that the
price has about reached bottom, at least
for the present Fairly good transac-
tons were reported to-day. Resins re-
manned quiet and unchanged, with moth
ing doing. There was little interest in
the cotton market. either locally or at the
trading centers. On account of the clos
ing of Liverpool no advices were received
from that market, which tended to re-
strict operations on this side. The whole
sale markets were steady and active.

Calamity VS.. Prosperity.

Calamity awaits Colorado this year
unless the Republican party is success
full Even the ores of Cripple Creek
will undergo a change and refuse to
yield the yellow metal.-Georgetow
Courier.
Brother Randall should have added
to his sarcastic remarks quoted above
a few more words as follows: Even
the Cripple Creek ores with their
wealth of yellow metal cannot offset
the blight that a continued Organism
in Colorado would bring. The success
of the Republican party this fall in
Colorado is absolutely necessary to
save this grand state from the effect
of the embalming fluid of Democracy
that now flows in her business veins
in place of the red rich blood of Me
Kin1ey prosperity.-Golden Globe.

Thing. That Have Come True.

Who could have predicted, in Octo-
Der, 1896, when paralysis extended to
every industry, that in the brief period
that has elapsed since that date the
representative of a Democratic paper
like the Cleveland Plain-Dea1er would
say that our labor is fully employed
and our people contented?" Four
years ago, when the wall of calamity
came from Kansas that its farmers
were hopelessly burdened with mort
cages. who would have dreamed that
four years later the editor of silver
paper would be able to declare, in New
York, that business conditions were
never so excellent in Kansas as to-
day" and that tits farmers have Prac-
tical1y all paid of the mortgages on
their farms and most of them have
money to lend?' There has never
been marvellous a change in the his
tory of this or any other country as
has taken place during the four years.
| 1t may be added that if Bryan politi-
| clans fail to take into account the eff
feet of these conditions upon the cleo
| tions next November they are reserv-
| ing a painful surprise for themselves

Upon the arrival here OF Alexis E.

some proportion of the Cuban teachers
will understand English, even though
they may not be able to speak it, but
just what this proportion is can be

to take the usual prescribed summer
