Secretary Shaw Coming to Augusta

Secretary Shaw Coming to Augusta.
Augusta is to be congratulated that
so distinguished member of the adj
ministration circle as Secretary of the
Treasury Shaw is to speak here during
the coming campaign. The great hit
which he made before the Republican
State convention at Portland in June
is so well remembered that it has
made imperative the demand that he
come to Maine again, and he will be
welcomed not only as one of the ablest
as one particularly well qualified to
speak for the national administration,
but also as public speaker of excep-
tional force, eloquence and magnetism.
Mr.. Shaw came into national promi-
hence in 1896 as one of the most eff
fective campaigners on the stump.
Since then he has been governor of
Iowa. a popular, clean and able ex-
ecutive of great state. AS member
of President Roosevelts cabinet at the
head of the treasury department, he
has not had any great questions of
finance to deal with for in these days
of Republican prosperity great ques-
lions of finance take care of them
selves. but he has shown much ad-
ministrative ability, has corrected
minor customs abuses and has the full
confidence of his chief and of the coun-
try. He is well qualified to present
the issues of the campaign clearly and
forcefully and when he speaks here
next Thursday evening, August II, the
people of Augusta and vicinity should
not miss the opportunity to hear him.
He has already spoken in Vermont,
his native state.

MARKET REPORTS.
NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.
Features of the Days Dealings in All
the Leading Stocks.

New York, Aug. 15.-The solicitude felt
over the possible Stringency of money
was eXemplifed by the effect upon the
stock marekt of a furry in the call money
rate to per cent. The fact that Stock
Exchange loans made, Friday, carry over
until the following Monday, makes the
customary demand on Friday somewhat
more urgent than on other days. There
had been a number of other syndicate
upset calculations as to the bank state
ment, tomorrow. Rates for time money
also advanced, today, to a uniform per
cent. for all periods. An incident with in.
iuence upon the weak condition of the
market was the report of rains in the
;pring wheat harvesting region which af
lected the grain markets as well. As was
to be expected. the selling pressure was
most acute upon these stocks which have

The Case Of Gaynor and Greene.

Canada has certainly acted very
shabby in it's refusal to turn over to
the United States Captain Gaynor and
Colonel Green who are wanted here for
defrauding the government in a con-
tract for the Improvement of Savan-
nah harbor. They were associated
with Captain Carter, who is now serv-
ing term in prison. but by skipping
their bail, $4,000 each, they found
refuge in Canada on the eve of trial.
months ago. When eXtradition pro-
ceedings We're instituted they shrewdly
employed as counsel the firm of at
torneys with which the attorney-gen-
eral of the province and several of it's
judges are connected by former pro-
fessional and present family ties. And
Free they may be as to their persons,
but in their freedom they are fugitives
from justice; by their fight self-con-
fessed criminals, and the judgment the
world renders against them differs
from that which would have been rem
dered by the Savannah court, had they
been extradited, only in that it carries
no penalty of servitude. In all other
respects it brands them as conspirators
whose place is in a penitentiary. There
is something very rotten in the Quebec
judicial system when Judge Caron is
able thus to thwart the ends of justice.
But the end is not yet. Uncle Sans
arms are long and his memory is good,
and Canada may yet give up the fugi-
tives with few apologies thrown in.
1t is hardly to be believed that the
English government will countenance
the stand taken by the Quebec courts.
