CHICAGO, Sept. 2.-In face Of a very
weak corn market and lower cables,
wheat held steady. Everything points to
worlds shipments and a good increase in
the visible supply.
1t was another weak day in corn. Liqui-

NEW YORK. Sept 2S.-The trade re-
ports this week are of more than usual
interest There has naturally been
good deaf of curiosity as to what the
condition and tendency of general bust
ness would be at this season of the year.
The only untoward circumstance with
which the business of the country has to
reckon in the next six months is the
shortage in the corn crop. which, though
undoubtedly large, has not yet been
definitely ascertained.
The improvement in the iron and steel
industry since the settlement of the = @e
has beea most gratifying.
Prices for commodities of all lin& are
well maintained. The only artificial .itu-
alton at the moment is that in the cop
per trade, and il was responsible for
general retrograde movement in the stock
market this week The liquidation in the
Copper stocks this week has unsettled the
entire market for securities. and not
withstanding the natural reaction during
the last two or three days from the de-
preston early in IL week, the list, with
comparatively few exec eptiors. closed con-
siderabiy lower than il did last Saturday
The most noteworthy exceptions are the
Vanderbilt stocks. The larger dealings,
together with the steady advance in the
price for them, is strongly eoniirmatory
of current reports that all the companies
in which the Vanderbilt family holds
predominant interest are to be virtually
merged, or rather the control of them
concentrated in a single corporation
Should this prove to be the case the man
agement of those properties will be great
ly simplified and the principal investors
in them will have a. single security to
represent their enormous, and, at pres
ent, diversified holdings.
There has been a distinct improvement
in the monetary situation this week Ex-
traordinary demands have at last been
supplied and now bills against cotton
and grain are beginning to come upon
the market in larger volume than hereto
fore. In consequence. the rates for ex-
change have resumed the downward ten
dcncy that is normal at this season of
the year. Prospects of imports of specie
are correspondingiy improved.
Pending such a movement the associ-
ated banks report an increase in lawful
money this week of over 81. i.00,,0oe, or near
ly twice as much was indicated yes
ter,ay by the known movements of
money. The speculative community, how
ever. professed TO be disappointed in the
weekly statement of averages OF the as
sociated banks because it did not show
considerable decrease in the loans.
As matter of fact, several larger
banks did reduce their loans nateri-
ally toward the end of the week. but ii
appears that other institutions expanded
their accommodation and in consequence
the average was little larger than a
week ago. This, however, is unimportant.
and II is certainly much more than offset
by the comparatively large increase in
lawful money.

The Atchison report for August and for
the first two months of the fiscal year was
especially good, but two or three other
fine monthly statements were also re-
ceived. The reports for the third week of

even the increases are for the most part

reason for this. however, and one that

There is nothing discouraging In the
outlook of the Steel Trust at least. The
business of the concern is keeping up to
the top notch. and II is said that orders
extending well into 1852 have been given
TO II already. The orders for steel rails
are quite beyond its capacity TO fill this
year. The business that was delayed by
the strike is now being rushed, and the or
ders are piling in, and fully up to the most
rosy expectations. Prices are high and
there seems no reason to look for a de-
cline. These are the facts. but it Is not
necessary to rely on assertions of this
general character. The company will pub

II may be said of the recent small iiuctua-
Gons that they indicate the presence
Of two strong parties fairly equal IN
strength This does not promise any i'm
portaEt movement in either direction for
the present. But this is question of the
professional element almost entirely. The
public is not in the market and the big
interests do not seem to care to take any
decided stand. The next important move
ment will come because of the attitude
of the public and of the big interests. and
their attitude will be determined by the
underlying conditions. the real factors of
intrinsic value and the outlook for the
country. The professionals do not make
markets but follow them. They make
fluctuations. The interesting new matters
have been, briefly. the announcement of
the Roosevelt policy. the disclosures re-
garding the copper situation and the cut
ting OF the copper dividends. the unotfi-
cial reports regarding the earnings of
the steel company. the report of the
Atchison company for August, the rumors
regarding a consolidation of the Wander
bilt railways. the rumors Of trouble be
tween the Goalds and the Vanderbilts,
and finally the bank statement of yes
terday. Some OF these matters have
seemed very black at times. but even the
worst of them do not now promise much
further in the way of bad news, and are
nov shown TO have been greatly over
estimated. In general the news has been
particularly good. 1t may be said with
out hesitation. therefore, that conditions
are quite as good and perhaps little
better, from the prosperity standpoint,
than they were two weeks ago. If the
professional market continues for a
month or more there should be no sur
prise. If during that time the monetary
situation becomes easy and railway earn
lngs continue good, ana the Steel Trust
declares its usual dividend and publishes
a prosperous report. and the later news of
the corn crop is not any more discourag
ing than the present outlook, IL seems
highly probable 10 fnany conservative peo-
pie that the market of the winter viii be

more hostile to them than to the railroads

In Chila, should pnpil go wrong,
the schoolmaster is held responsible

The Chinese theory is not without

preacher of anarchism, has been go.
ing up and down the land preaching
+" individual freedom, " freedom
without law Of any kind for years.
Under the wide latitude given by our
institutions to free speech it has been
said that every man is entitled to bis
opinion and the privilege of expressing
it. In the abstract, freedom
OF speech is indeed guaranteed
by our constitution, but this free
dom Of expression must be limited to
the true definition Of freedom itself.
A man is free to speak so long as he
does not speak libel, or treason, or any
of the things the laws prohibit; in
short, he is free to speak SO long as his
speaking does not injure his neighbors.
A citizen is entitled to his opinion. but
he is responsible for the results of that
opinion. Emma Goldman breaches the
abolition Of all law, all government,
all rulers. Theoretically she is en-
titled to an opinion that leads back to
savagery, If She wishes to entertain
that opinion. Bat has she right to
the expression Of that opinion pub.

words fall upon the half baked soul Of

by holding these individuals person.
ally responsible for utterances the
practical outcome Of which is the de.
struction Of civilization, who shall
complain? Certainly not the anar-
chists, for to thus proceed Is to apply
to them the principles which they
themselves have taught. They make
war upon society. Society must make
war upon them.
