THE SITUATION IN ST LOUIS.


In the last number of The Commoner
there appeared an editorial entitled
"A Sample Of Harmony" which called
attention to the attempt which Is be-
Ing made In st. Louis TO elect Mr.,
Wells on the democratic ticket, not
wlthstandlng the fact that he opposed
the national ticket in 1896 and 1900,
and still refuses TO accept democratic
principles, though willing to accept
democratic Office.
The St. Louis Republic in last Sat
urday's issue seems to admit the facts
stated In that editorial, but attempts
to avoid the conclusions drawn from
them. II says;
"Mr Bryan naturally does not care
much about municipal government In
big cities, That is a problem with
which he has never been called upon
to contend. But st, Louis democrats
care u great DEAL not only as citizens,
but as party men. II they do not take
the best course in municipal politics
they will dwindle into small political
body in a short time, The comments
on st. Louis politics IN Mr., Bryan's
paper have not the weight Of knowl-
edge or OF sympathy
The Republic 10 In error, Mr.. Bryan
does care about municipal government
in big cities, but he does not expect
good municipal government under the
administration OF man who believes
In making the president an emperor,
and who is willing to let the trusts
control the national administration,
The man who sees no danger In imper-
lalism, a large standing army, wars of
conquest, private monopolies and the
other policies for which the republican
party now stands is not likely to give
the people Of any city, large or small,
q wise, just or economical administra-
ton. The mind Of an intelligent man
Is consistent and, as no one doubts the
Intelligence of Mr.. Wells, II Is fair to
assume that he would be as willing
TO allow local corporations TO control
the city administration as he has
shown himself willing to allow larger
corporations to control the national
administration. 1t is no answer to
say that the republican candidate may
be as bad as Mr.. Wells The demo-
cratic party Is not responsible for a re-
publican administration and can make
political capital out of the wrong do
ings of such an administration, But II
Mr. Wells is elected the democratic
party must assume responsibility for
what he does. IT, as is probable, he
would run the city according to the
latest and most approved republican
methods, the democrats would be com
PEELED to repudiate his administration
or obliterate the distinction between
republican methods and democratic
methods,

It costs money to fly even two small

The trusts generally issue two kinds
Of stock-preferred and comm The
preferred stock Ia intended for the pre-
ierred people and the common stock
for the common people. The preferred
stock has a fixed dividend, which must
he paid before any dividend can be
declared on the common stock; the
common stock, therefore, is subject to
the greater fuctuation. 1t might with
nropriety be called lambs food, be-
cause 1t is most popular with young
sheen before they have experienced

AN IMPoTENT REMEDY.

President lladley Of Yale college,
In recent speech at Boston renewed a
recommendation which ho made some
months ago to the effect that there
should be public opinion which
would drive the trusts out OF existence
regardless OF statutes The earlier
dispatches quoted MIN as saying that
Wa would have an empire here within
twenty-five years unless something
was done 10 destroy the trusts but he
has since denied making any such
prophecy, The mere fact that 80
prominent an educator recognizes the
menace OF private monopoles is both
significant and encouraging but the
remedy which he suggests IL an im-
potent one, Public opinion Is ncces-
sary, first, TO enact, and second, TO en-
force law, but public opinion alone

tact and the horse thief does not as
soclate with those who have Conscien-
tlous scruplcs against larceny; neither
does the trust magnate associate with
shoso who object to trusts. II will bo

ordinary mortal or, for that matter,

Mr., Rockefeller would be Indifferent
to petition signed by ninety-nine per
cent OF the people asking him to low

decreasing his donations to colleges,
but he would heed a law made and
executed by majority of the people,
All credit to President hadley for
his effort to create public opinion
against trusts, but that public opinion
must be crystallzed into public stat
utes before II will check the trust evil,

Block system Of Signals.

The block system is an arrangement
OF signals by which railroad Is di-
vided into sections or blocks, with sig
nails at the beginning of each block.
The signals are SO arranged that as
soon as a train enters block, tho
signal at the beginning thereof Is set
at danger, and remains at danger until
the train has left the block. There
are several systems Of blocks, but this
Is the principle on which all are
worked.

The republican governor of Utah
has acted in the interest Of the Nor
mon church as we'll as in the interest
of the gentle population Of his state,
in vetoIng the bill which was intend
ed to prevent the prosecution of per-
sons guilty of polygamy. The practice
of polygamy, at one time indorsed by
the Mormon church, is now renounced
by the church and prohibited by stat
ute 1t Is not surprising that there
are occasional violations Of the law,
but these will become less and less as
the years go by, until polygamy be-
comes a thing Of the past, Any attempt
to reopen the question by giving direct
or indirect sanction to the practice
would bring o" political controversy
which could result only in ono way,
namely, in the continuance of present
laws. and then to the enforcement OF
the law would be added the bitterness
and prejudice which such n contest
would be sure to arouse.

BRADsTREET's TRADE REPORT
: More Cheerful Tone Apparent in
General Trade.

NEW YORK. March 30.-Bradstreet's
in commenting on trade, says in its issue
of today;
a rather more cheerful tone is appar-
crt in general trade and the close OF the
first quarter OF the year finds the bust
ness world contemplating n total trade
for that period in many cases in excess
Of all preceding periods while the future,
with some few exceptions, is viewed with
apparent confidence
The advance of the spring season is,
Of course, partly responsible for The feel
ing above mentioned, allowing as it does
better opportunity Ter q wider range Of
operations than was possible in the win
ter months. F5rse Indications as to crop
prospects and outlook are, in the main,
favorable Bank clearings are showing
steady gains over unprecedentedly large
totals a year ago.
Railway earnings testify to an i'm
mense volume Of merchandise passing in
10 consumption and, as for some time
past, the active demand at advancing
prices for iron and steel is regarded as
4 reliable index of good general trade to
come. Building is becoming more active
and promises this spring to be the heav-
lest for many years past
Hence the lumber trades and all lines
growing activity. Western trade advices
are relatively most favorable. Southern
trade advices are, Of course. dominated
by the slump in cotton Birmingham re-
ports the loss ny the cyclone at $50, 900
most of which was caused to residential
property and the business community is
not directly financially affected.
Savannah reports that a gain Of 10
per cent in cotton acreage is expected
Atlanta reports that the smaIlness Of
jobbers' stocks Of cotton goods is a faV-
orabie feature. Fertilizer sales are much
smaller and some orders have been can
celed. New Orleans reports special ac-
tiyity, confined almost entirely to hard
ware.
Memphis reports an increased acreage
in cotton and corn. On the Pacific Coast
business IS quite good. At New York
cotton and wocleus are quiet, but silks
are in fair demand.
Despite the feeling that after the long
decline in prices 4 reaction was due, and
in face Of the apparent disposition on the
part OF some traders TO regard this feel
ing as alone reason for q turn upward,
