The writer of one Of the most authori-
tative Monday morning newspaper fnan-
oisI reviews ends his column and a half
discussion of the market with the non
cOmIuital and entirely unsatisfactory sUg-
gestfon that if it is true that a coterie OF
Chicago spectators are responsible for
much of the buying Of stocks during the
past week, the fact is not reassuring but
that II the runoTed deals in the Western
railways have substantial basis there is
no telling how much further the advance
may GO This naturally helps no one
that Is specializing on the present market.
But IL is very certainly the fact that no
more positive opinion can be hazarded
safely at this time The market this morn
ing showed no new symptoms nothing on
which might be based any new deduc-
fions- Conservative people are pretty
vel out Of the market, but they see
prices continually advancing. They are
on the safe side, but it is unpleasant Tor
a specuIator 20 be out Of the game It
may be pointed out again that there are
many low priced issues that are likely to
have further advances during the coming
few months even in the general market is
reactionary. Some of the best posted
market people are combining their opera
tons TO such securities.
There were higher prices in the general
list at the opening this morning, and
then & reaction of an average of a point
or more. Before Il o'clock the advance
began again and by noon the level was
above that at the opening, in most parts
of the list. Some irregularity was no
ticeable. The outlook seemed good for
further gains during the day, though
undoubtedly profit "a king was very heavy
and II was realized that slump of a
few points would not be unnatural There
was little news over Sunday but the ru-
mors Of last week were repeated with
much emphasiC- The food damages in
Pennsylvania had depressing eject on
the United States Steel securities and
Burlington and Northern Pacific were
sold heavily. and refused TO make any
advance with the remainder Of the mar
ket- An opening slump In AmaIgamated
Copper caused some comment but il
could not be learned that there were any
new developments in the copper deals.
Copper opened OF five points or more 10
around 10. II recovered from that level
sharply Il was suggested in some quar-
ters that perhaps some one or more of the
more important stockholders of the Anal
gamated may be contemplating a fight
against the purchase OF the Butte and
Boston and the Boston and Montana after
the manner OF the Shelters fight. With
the decision IN the smeIters case fresh in
the Wall Street mind il IS not difficult 10
understand how such a r4mor might have

possible to Force the ANA gamated people

Oil crowd is perfectly willing TO do this
In which case Of course, any such suit as
the one suggested would be good ding

GOOD ROADS.

"M0re money Is collected every year
from farmers for road purposes than
would serve to pay the interest on a
loan sufficient To build good main
roads throughout the State, and to
provide a sinking fund sufficient to
extinguish the debt in fifty years"
The Southern Planter makes the
above statement, and then offers the
following remedy:
"Let a department be created to have
supervision of the highways Of the
State, TO be under the control Of civil
engineer to be nominated by the Gov
ernor, and require all expenditures on
highways to be subject to the approval
Of this department, and give to it the
power to assist, with the States credit
the raising of money to make all per-
manent roads, and give it authority
to make all property liable to taxation
in the State, whether in or out of eli
ties and towns, subject to contribution
toward highway expenditure in this
State"
Something must be done and done
quickly. This nation, States and coun-
ties should touch elbows in this work,
and make it as perfect as man can
make it. We have been triflng in this
regard too long already. The tax on
BAD roads is crushing. Let's tote the
lighter burden and have better roads.

NOT ENOUGH MONEY.

In an admirable editorial on the
Career Of Russell Sage" the Rich
mond Dispatch says:
"Alr Sage has probably the unique
distinction of having saved the first
dollar he ever earned and of having
never been in debt, and has, therefore,
missed one Of the greatest pleasures of
lfe-at least, il would seem to be a
great pleasure TO be in debt, from the
vast numbers Of people who indulge in
the luxury and appear to have no de-
sire TO 10 ego it,"
No, debt is no luxury but a dire ne
cessity. There isn't enough money
by about "a per cent. with which to
transact the business of the world and
people who take part in the affairs of
life must 90 in debt Take from the
business circles today all notes, checks
and drafts and crushing panic prevails.
With water out Of the scheme and
the great steel combine would strike
the bottom. Without national debt
there would be no national light.
The country is in debt, the common
wealths are in debt, the corporations
are in debt, the citizens are in debt, and.
alas. that it should be so, the churches
are in debt, not because it is a luxury
but "a stern necessity. These are facts
no intelligent, well informed person
will deny, and yet if a man in distress
for the ready cash with which to pro-
mote and push legitimate business rails
es a cry for more money he is at once |
denounced as a Communist" "dis-
turber Of peace" "populist," and al
together dangerous citizen.
If the note, check and draft served
one man as well as another, all would
be well, but this is not so. Some one
at ought not to be So" OF
course one mans note is not as good as
another's, and this is all right, but
what we mean TO emphasize is, that the
man with one hundred of security, and
that IN real estate, ought TO be able to |
borrow 500 as readily as the man with
a L. ;. bond of like amount can bor-
'ow that amount This is not unrea-
'onable, and while it would not re-
ieve people Of the debt-burden. II
would stop the cry for more money

ECHOES FROM THE CONVENTION.

The MOrSham Meefinr

Pursuant to call made by the citi
zens of LOckett District, small bu
representative number met at Wor
sham, Saturday.
Mr.. J. r. Morton was made chair
man and Mr.. J. l.. Hart acted as sec
rotary. The object of the meeting was
to discuss some of the questions now
being considered by the Constitutional
Convention.
Strong speeches were made by some
present, among them Judge A. d.
Watkins, Prof J. Y. Morton, DR.. Wins.
ton, Mr. J. ID. Eggleston and Mr.. w.
A. Barrow.
The meeting was called to order at
1870 a. m. and lasted until late in the
afternoon. A letter was read from DR..
McIlwaine expressing regret that he
was unable to be present.
The Committee on Resolutions sub.
mitted the results of their deliberations.
out Of which the following were
adopted:
Whereas, we believe that the success
and permanence of a Democratic form
of government depend largely on the
intelligence and wisdom Of those who
are granted the right of suffrage. and
Whereas, In our opinion there is
large class of voters i'm our State who.
by their ignorance, by their refusal to
affiliate with those competent 10 eXer-
else the right of suffrage, and by their
lmplacable hostility to the wishes and
Interests Of those who have natural
right to rule in the administration of
affairs of government, endanger the |
very life of a good form of govern |

Resolved, That we heartily endorse

THE PLATFORM.

The Virginia Democrats, in Con-
vention assembled, gave to the Demo-
Gratis of Virginia, short, sensible and
strong platform. Nothing was left I'M
said and none too much was said.
Allegiance to the national Democrat
ic party was reaflirmed, Gov. Tyler's
administration was commended, refer
ence to Democratic rule in Virginia
was made with pardonable pride, the
primary plan of nominating candidates
for both houses Of Congress and State
officers was approved, illegal combina-
tions were.denounced, good roads, pub.
lie schools, oyster beds and employers
liability bill received endorsement.
No attempt was made to interfere with
the work of the Constitutional Con-
vention. With such platform and
such ticket Virginia is safe.
