THE MARKET WILL REMAIN

There will be no panic in the stock
market because of the change in the
head of the government. There will
be no disturbance of any kind in the
financial or industrial world When 1t
was announced that President McKin-
ley had been shot there was ten
dency towards a panicky feeling. The
morning following the shooting there
was some disturbance in stocks and
cotton, but it quickly passed, and has
now entirely disappeared. The coun-
try is satisfied that there is strong
man at the head of the government,
and his announcement that he will do
his utmost to carry out the conserva-
tive policies of the late President have
still further quoted the apprehensions
Of those who thought there might be
a general change in the cabinet, and
an attempt to inaugurate new policies
that would tend to bring the new adj
ministration into prominence.
President Roosevelt was wise in
choosing an early opportunity to take
the country into his confidence as to the
course he intended to pursue. If he
this matter he had good advisers. The
great interests of the country were
waiting for just such a message as he
gave them. If he had hesitated to
speak out. or had let the impression
get abroad that he had policies of his
h., -
attention of Congress and the coun-
try, the wheels of business would
have moved less freely than they are
now moving. There would have been
a disposition to wait to see what the
policies of the new administration
were before inaugurating new enter
prises or before injecting new vigor
into old ones.
The speech which Mr.. Roosevelt re-
Gently delivered at Minneapolis is be-
ing scanned closely, and many COM
ments are being made upon it. 1t was
made at a time when he had no rea-
son to think he would be called to the
presidency during his term as Vice
President, and was intended no doubt
to make him friends in the section in
which it was delivered-friends who
would assist him in getting the presi-
Dental nomination of his party in 1904
But there is nothing in that speech
that is inconsistent with what he said
when he took the oath of Office as
President.
We may reasonably expect therefore
that the affairs of the country will run
along pretty much as they have been
running for the past year. Unless
new questions arise it is doubtful if
the new President will do anything
that will give the country a percept-
ible jolt.

how thoroughly he appreciated the
handicap from which l suffered as the
tail-ender of a long programme, and
added that 1 should philosophically re-
member that it was a position that
somebody had to fill, and he was quite
sure that 1 had brought up the rear
with flying colors-and that they were
all flying in the right direction. 1t was
neat and it was comforting, and it was

course of my little speech, expressed

limited repeatedly, but received no en-

so as to be heard by every passenger

The probability Is that no similar
national calamity has ever been so
thoroughly, promptly and interestingly
covered by the newspaper press as the
assassination and death of President
Mckinley. In Europe details of such
affairs are suppressed to the limit by
the official censors of press news. At
the time OF the assassination of Pres
ident Garfield the American press news
system, although very efficient, had
not reached the high stage of devel-
opment that exists to-day. Within a
few minutes of the time the assassin
had discharged his pistol into the vi
tails of President Mckinley the Asso-
ciated Press had distributed the in
telligence to the length and breadth of
the land, and since that time il has
kept the newspapers supplied with
graphic and exhaustive dispatches
covering every detail of the lamenta-
BILE tragedy. The daily word-pictures
of the incidents and scenes have been
such as to give the reader far more
comprehensive idea OF the situation and
succession of events than he could pos
sibly have gathered had he been on the
ground In person. In short this nation
al calamity has illustrated to Ameri-
cans how far superior their news re-
sources are to those Of any other sec
ton Of the globe,
