The Fisher Memorial.

The announcement of the cree
ton of monument to the memory
of the late Judge George P. Fisher,
of this State, ought to be good news,
particularly to the Republicans of
Delaware. Judge Fisher was one
of the early Republicans of the
State, was one of the men who alb
juring all partisan politics in the
days of the Nation S peril became
the patriot. He was a man of mag
ni6cent presence and of splendid
mental powers. His loyalty, zeal
and ability early attracted the at
tention and won the respect and
confidence of President Lincoln,
who appointed him to the bench OF
the United States District Court for
the District of Columbia. Presi-
dent Lincoln was not often mis-
taken in men, and we regard his
personal respect for and commenda-
ton of Judge Fisher as conclusive
evidence of the high character OF
the man. This judgement of the
martyred President comedies with
what we knew of the man. We
knew him, trusted him and loved
him. He was a Delawarean through
and through as he was an American
and he was a Republican. He haC
bitter opponents, enemies who no
only judged him harshly, but who
landered and did their best to in

THEExoHANeEs OPPORTUNITY.

n NE or AMERICAS greatest hGmorisIs once said
I J that damaged reputation might be repaired,
but the public would always keep its eye on
the crack. Ihc fair of the Salt Lake mining
stock exchange has been badly smrched lately, but
with cners etc effort 1t may be made once more so
spotess that everybody VIII forget the stain. lester
days meeting Of the exchange members was a short
step in the right direction.
1t was the judgment OF majority, after consider
able irrelevant discussion, that much OF the chcanery
OF the last few weeks has been made possible by the
practice Of trading futures. Brokers have ~shorted
stocks and then done their best to send prices below
the figure at which they have agreed to deliver within
ccftain time That Is they have sold something they
did not possess, under the market the expectation
th.t the security would drop to a point where they
could buy it in and turn it over at a, proht.
II cannot be denied that man may have legitimate
information which leads him to believe stock Is going
down He Is neither morally legally bound to shout
his from the house tops or cry it in the open
session Of the exchange. Under such conditions
"short" may be as legitimate transaction as bona
ids sale, except that it Is straight gambling proPo-
si.ion.
The trend Of short selling however, is away from
the straight and path of honesty The empta-
ton to lie about a stock which wishes to decrease
In value Is at times, almost irresistible, if broker
happens TO be short long line of that stock The stop
ping of all transactions except those involving the i'm
mediate delivery of certificates would go far toward
correcting the evil which The Herald in the inter-
of the public 1t serves and which it seeks protect
has called attention.
The board of governors o. the exchange knows the
sentiments of the larger part of~the members the
subject That sentiment already forth, Is against
amy more dealing In futures. Now, If the governors
really DESTROYS Of putting up the first bar in the
gate which shall shut dishonesty they win pass the
rule
Much was said at the meeting yesterday in criti-
esm The Herald for pointing out the precpice over
the edge of -hch the exchange Is even now hanging
No honest broker need feel pang over what this paper
has said 1t Is the crooked manjpulators The Herald
desres weeded ont Of an organization that has been

saical thanksgiving that they not as other men,

LOSING : FOREIGN MARKET.

HE AMERICAN MILLER IS losing his foreign
market, especially his English market aud he is
= blaming the transportation companies for it.
There Justice IN the complaint too Recently It has
been developed that although wheat can be med more
cheapy in this country than IN England the difference
between the freight rae for wheat and the rate for
-four TO England makes it impossible for the American
miller 90 compete with foreign -four manufacturers
Just why this difference should exist is not made
exactly clear. One reason which is cited IS that wheat
is not infrequentiy used ballast purpose for which
-four viii not Tt Is stated that on one occasion
steamship company agreed to transport wheat for
cent bushoi to foreign port the understanding
hat Is would be permitted TO bring the shipment homo
again as ballast and then take it across the ocean

win be that this wheat crossed The sea three
times for one yefy low rate. Now, in order TO obtain
and maintain footing in foreign markets our 1niers
must grind wheat SO cbeapy that tire total cost of
getting it TO the MILL converting It into -four and
sending it abroad win not exceed the cost of
ocean transportation for the cereal and the expense of
working it ap after Its arrival

THE CAPTURE OF COLON.

| ban insurgents, or Liberals, they prefer to
style themselves, and the little republic Is all
stirred up over it. We're it for the fact that Colon
is a terminus of the Panama railroad the event would
be of little Importance in the United States The fact
that the line does end there that Is very necessary
for it to be kept in running order and that large Amer
lean interests snvoved, makes the matter of some
moment.
The Liberal leaders have promised to do all in their
power to continue the unimpeded operation of the road
and a similar promise has been made by the heads of
the government, who in control of the Pacific end

It's faith to the pledges of the insurgents of the
thorities. Marines have been landed at Colon to pro-
tect the railway property there.
They were taken from the gunboat Machias and if
il is thought necessary another detachment will be
landed from the Iowa, which Is at Panama. The ease
with which the insurgents captured Colon is accounted
for by the fact that the government troops were
pccting attack another point and failed to guard
the Atlantic coast city properly. When it Is possible
to take town of 10000 people with force of less
than 200 men, there IS prima facie evidence of
