New York, Aug 6.-The market will be
adversely affected by a preponderance of
selling orders at the opening ana we look
for a further decline in the early trading.
but on such movement we advise taking
profits and buying for a quick turn or
one or two points There is no indication
that the market as a whole will receive
any aggressive support, and the west
continues to express decidedly bearish
sentiments. We favor selling on any rail-
lies as the tendency OF prices is down
ward and the absence of any outside buy
ing is one of the features Of the situation.
The strike situation is unchanged and no
general strike will be ordered until next
week which leaves a loophole for a set

New York Aug. 6.-The outcome of the
conference of the steel strike was blow
to the stock market. The general decline
of about 2 to points on the average
makes this self-evident- Nevertheless it
is well to consider whether the present
level of prices has not largely discounted
this regretable labor controversy. Its
possibilities in the future are of course
highly uncertain and 1t is either because
of this uncertainty which is always the
more difficult to Wall street speculation
than the actual damage accomplished by
the strike" that the speculative weak
ness Yesterday was due. Considering that
the force of the unfavorable news fell on
practically one market the shrinkage In
values which was the result can not be
called inordinately large The London
Stock Exchange was closed. It IS true
that American capitalists are in control
of and determine the fate of American
securities today more than ever and that
a considerable part of the London deal
ings consist of arbitrary -scalping of the
difference between the New York and
London price variations while the two ex>
changes are in session. After all this had
been admitted the fact remains that the
existence Of speculative arbitrage. posi-
bilities often affords support which
market loses when left to itself

last night, after everybody was just
sleepy enough to be mad, and act alto
gether stupid about the question of re-
hitting to Nash, the ticket scalper, SIS
which he paid the city last year as
part of the $50 license fee. The ground
upon which he claimed a remittance
was that no license was collected last
year from Mrs Haines, one of his com
petitOrs.
city License Collector Forbes had
Nash arrested for fall % pay his
license for this year. an was what
brought the matter to .ssue- The
cOuncilmen said some rather uncompli-
mentary things about each other, which
they did not mean, but finally the little
squabble was amicably adjusted by Mr.
Nash agreeing to pay his $25 for this
year and the suit against him being dis
missed The question of forcing Mrs
Haines to pay $50 back license viii be
considered at some later date.
QUESTION OF FIRE PLUGS.
Mayor Hughes brought up the ques-
ton of whether or not the council is
going to permit the water company to
extend its mains without giving the
city any fire hydrants. This plan on
the part of the water company was first
exposed by the State Journal The mat
ter was brought before the council so
late last night that no action was
taken. It is one of the most difficult
problems the council has had to face,
and it involves many important consid-
erations.

"NOw have one with me" is recoo-
nlzed as the source of great deal
of the intemperance which prevails
in this country. Conviviality, ra tn
err than appetite, is productive ,tof a
great percentage of drunkenness.
A man goes into a saloon to get a
drink, meets a friend, who says:
"Join me- And through courtesy
the invitation is accepted, is return
ed, and one drink brings on another
until state of debauchery is reach
ed.
In view of this evil, a law has been
introduced in the legislature of
New Jersey, providing ~ tolerable
service penalty for every man who
asks another person to drink with
him, and applying the same to any
saloon keeper who gives away a
drink. If such law could be en-
forced it would be productive of
great good. One who has not con-
tracted the drink habit would sell
dom think of drinking except for
the sociality of it. This practice Of
treating does not exist among tenn
perate people. 1t seems to have had
its origin in England, and has been
carried to such astonishing excess
in this country, particularly in the
west, that it is not uncommon for a
man to ask barroorn-ful] of total
strangers to drink with him, and
the promiscuous conviviality of the
proceeding is seldom resented.
Such a law, enforced. in every
state, would do more for the cause
of temperance than all the Carrie
Nations and the prohibition laws of
Kansas combined.

EMPEROR or UNITED STATxs.

President Hadley, of Yale Uni
versity, declares that Judging from
the present trend of affairs the Unit
ed States will be governed by an
emperor within the next twenty-five
years.
There are two chief factors which
President Hadley says will bring
about this result. The first is the
low state of public morals relating
to questions of the public welfare.
The second factor is the trusts and
the vast concentration of wealth in
few hands.
One need not be a pessimist nor
an all-round crank to foresee trou-
BILE in the very direction pointed
out. 1t is not that human nature
itself has changed, but that condi-
tons have changed.
The Clark case of Montana is too
recent and too hunliliating an in
stance of this tendency to be for
gotten. Clark was appointed to the
United States senate by the most
corrupt and scandalous use of mon
ey, and was justly repudiated by
the senate. But Clark's millions
were sufficient to cover his whole
state, and he has since been return
ed to the senate by the actual con-
currence of the people of his state.
If the private fortune of one man
can control the political destinies
of state, it is by no means unlike
ly that the vast concentration of
wealth of the modern trust may
some day he used to control the
destinies Of the whole country. In
that case the possibilities of having
an emperor of the United States are
not so remote as some of us have
been in the habit Of thinking.
