s'At this time of unsettled values" ''i1 is well to draw the line between railroad shares and those of the indus trials in estimating intrinsic worth, as it must be remembered that the former are mostly connected with corporations that were pessimistically, hence dras- tically, reorganized, while the latter were mostly, enthusiastically organized, a1d many of them may have to be pes simistically reofganized. Then inc railroads and indtstrials will be on a common footing. The monetary out look is somewhat clearer, as proved ly Secretary Cages discontinuing tie purchase of bonds. Very soon the out ward drain for crop purposes will cease Gold imports are being delayed, partly owing to Europe's necessity for re- taining the precious metal, but at ibe moment the money market is free of anxieties. The immediate future of the stock market is indefinite, sNo bull movement is yet in sight and sDealtsh sentiment seems to predpaiiate sn spite of the fact that the big interests seem sopposed to ali pronounsQa ssie- clines.- The situation therefore offers excellent trading. opportunities, gool stocks being a purchase on all sharp declines, and equally good sales on all pronounced rallies. Conservatism :s still the only safe course"

 The paternal government of Nor way has fund of money amounting to about S5G0.00e which is loaned to farmers through the municipal off, scials. to assist ahem in buying land. Such a proposition was advanced by the populists of Kansas some years ago and did not meet with any favor, but generally with ridicule. Tn Nor way, however, it is actually in prac- tice, and small sums are loaned to industrious people at three per cent. interest for term of 25 years to en- able them to acquire farms and i'm prove not only themselves but the state. These loans are often made to young people just married and starting in life upon the recommend ation of the council and other officials of the municipality. During the first five years: no installments are re- qnired, but five per cent. of the loan in addition to the three per cent. in- terest must be paid annually there. after.-Detroit Free Press.

 This is apparently a season of. ln- quiry ill Washington. In addition to the naval court which is investigating tue conduct of Rear Admiral Schley during and preceding the battle of Santiago. a ub-committee of the seu- ate committee on military affairs IS probing charges. against Lieutenant Colonel H. o. S. Heistand for alleged conI ection with Philippine hemp com- bine. These Investigations are prac- tically monopolizing the interest or army and navy officers i'll the national capital, many of whom are being called upon as witnesses. It is stated on excellent authority that, while the Schley court was at first expected to last until Thanksgiving, it will. in all probability, conclude its labors by the first of November The Heistand in- quiry will end in about ten days. Both tribunals have taken an enor- nous amount of evidence in short period, and it is certain that they will have completed their work long before congress is ready to enter upon it's duties.

Retirement of the Sword.

The sword, which has had so long and so distinguished military record, has been placed on the retired list. British army authorities have decided that in the future unmounted officers shall carry carbines instead of swords during maneuvers and in active service. The decision is the result of experience gained in the war in South Africa. The sword is not only useless as weapon, except :n close quarters, but it serves as mark to distinguish the officer from his men. He thus becomes tar- get for the enemy's sharpshooters, and when the private soldiers shall have small power of initiative, as is the case in most European armies, the loss of a large number of officers may mean disaster. The passing of the sword is one of the signs of the changed conditions of war.--Youth's s Companion.

 HARD-HEARTED OPPOSITION.

Citizens met in the North Side Turn CT hall not many weeks ago and dis cussed asphalt pavements. A substi- tute for asphalt was proposed by one of the leading politicians present.
 It had been decided to lay a pave ment on certain streets in that part of town and asphalt seemed to be the material most favored by the common council. It would make the assess ments on property holders high, and this meeting had been called to np- pose any measures which would re- quire so great an expense. a sd
 The meeting was, large and full of indignation. There were many and curious reasons why asphalt was no good. Everybody was ready to adopt measures to defeat the tactics of the cunning politicians who wished to flood the streets with mud from Trim idad
 After a long harangue on the neces- sity of concerted action on the part If citizens, the chief speaker of the even ing solved the difficulty by proposing a new and enduring kind of material.
 T tell you, fellow citizens, if dose persons what live on Grand avenue want assfawled led dem have ass faBled; but we, we dc not want such q stuff. N Ploclzs is better. We must dassolnetings and putty quick already When we do not. want such pave ment as assfa5vled and pay more money yet as it Is not otdworth. we must puf sour heads togedder and make blocks. - Milwaukee Sentinel

Ever since Hawaii, the Philippine Islands and Guam came under the ju- risG1ction of the United States gov errment, the need of a tie to bind them closer to us. in the shape of te1egraphic cable, has been. apparent. TLe offer of a newly organized corpo- ration to construct such line has re yived interest in the project and again set in motion influences that will eventually bring about it's consumma- whether the government should un- dertake the enterprise or authorize a cop.pany to do so still exists and promises to become more and more pronounced as the time for the as- sembling of congress draws near The renewal of the discussion, too. has brought out phase of the matter hitherto unknown. It appears that when the American commissioners signed the treaty of Paris with Spain, they indirectly agreed to a contract between that nation and European company, giving that company forty years of exclusive cable privileges F the Philippines. President Roose- welt has directed the attorney general to search the international law bear ing upon the question and to make a report defining the rights of this gov ernment under the circumstances. It is to be hoped that Mir Knox will find no insurmountable obstacle to Pacific cable, which is demanded not only as an avenue for government. communications, but as facility for the development of commercial rela tions between America and her latest eastern acquisitions.

ON RAILS Ut STEEL.

Southwestern railroads are adopting Texas oil as locomotive fuel.
 Spanish railroad builders have just ordereI 4,0oo tons of steel rails at Pittsburg.
 The New York Central will expend $7,o0o, ,oo0 in electrically equipping su- burban lines.
 Western railroad managers are put ting on more trains to accomm odate increasing passenger traffic.
 Engineers say the use of oil in loco motives throughout the southwest will allow of longer trains and greater speeds.
 Some of the more expert railroad men in the country believe that the limit of sustained speed with the ex- .isting style of locomotives has been reached.
 A representative of the Paris Temps has been examining railway stations in Germany, and he declares that those of Dresden, Cologne, Hanover, Frank fort, Bremen, etc, are far superior to any of the French, except the Parisian.
