their friends at Gcrmania Hall, Balti-
more, on Tuesday evening last to pro-
test against the passage Of the bill to
amend the present election law, the
U'Orid says:
at is the same 4eyd that has been
against everything proposed for this
city for the past SO years They are
against everything that they them
selves do not propose, or is not aimed
to give them special privileges. They
are terribly worried about the vote that
they think the African won't get, but
we hear no protest from this same
crowd when labor i crushed down to
starvation wages aud trusts are sucking
the life blood of the national progress
This crowd has voted for labor-crushers
and for capitalistic greed, for trust su,
premacy and for imperialism; they
have bowed the knee to Mark Hanna
and joined hands with his political
methods, which have been a disgrace
to the country, and now they come
before the people once more prating eX-
cessive honesty and extreme love for
the welfare of the State and the Afri-
can i'm distress.
These are the same people who
pirate of charity, who advertise their
goodness and wear a holier-than-thou
air. Ne gods! and people talk of the
best classes ~

TEE DAYS OPERATIONS IN STOCKS.

Stock market trading reflected a falling on IN
commission house operations, but good support
from prominent market interests. 1rregularity
marked the course az values. Fluctuations as a
rule were not wide and declines when made
were small, while in the greater number or
issues final prices showed net advances as com
nared with Thursdays last quotations. The
steel shares We're heavy in the early dealings
under traders pressure, although no large
amount OF long stock came upon the market
Progress is apparently being made in the Car
regie-NIorgan negotiations, and the prospects
favor an announcement Of some sort in the
course of the next few days; but until it is
definitely known how the various steel COM
panies are to he treated and how the securities
are to be dealt with the steel and iron shares
will doubtless continue 10 move in an irregular
manner with a tendency 10 respond 20 every
speculative rumor that may be circulated.
Legitimate holders Of the preference issues of
the steel and iron companies have nothing TO
fear IN any plan that may be adopted, as their
interests win be fully protected. and. no doubt,
improved. The so called steel deal promises 10
enhance the actual value OF all the steel stocks.
while IL should serve TO increase confidence in
industrial securities in general.
81. Paul and Burlington stocks We're in ex-
cellent demand. and the other granger shares
advanced in sympathy. Rumors that the St.
Paul deal would be carried through were heard.
hat there were no news developments affecting
any of the Western shares. Much OF the recent
buying of ST Paul. Rock Island and Burlington
has been for investment account, and the same
kind OF buying has been noted IN the Union
Pacific issues. particularly the common. which
is expected 10 become permanent per cent
security at distant period. The time will
doubtless come when Union Pacific will sell at
New-York Central's current level and New-Yorlz
Central at Lake Shores figures. Good market
judges believe that Rock Island will find its
top at a much higher price and that Burlington
will eventually lead st. Paul. There were a
number OF heavy buying orders in the standard
shares yesterday, New-York Central and Penn
sylvania being particularly active at advancing
prices. Delaware and EsSdson was again a con-
spicuously strong feature, with sharp advance
In the last half hour. Good buying was reported
throughout the whole list IN the final trading
and the greatest Etrength OF the day was shown
at that time. The closing was strong and ac-
tive, with the granger shares in the lead
Money market conditions remain UNCHANGED
