 THE STOCK MARX ET.
DaIlness In Trading sun Umreiieve

DaIlness In Trading stiil Umreiieved New York, June 9.--The du1lness of the trading in stocks was unrelieved to- day, but the inertia of prices was not quite so absolute. There was a scat tering distribution of buying orders during the early trading. which lifted prices slightly. The demand subse- quently died away, but the higher level of prices was pretty we'll maintained during the rest of the day. News of weather conditions favorable to all of the crops seemed to be the cause of the buying, which was most prominent in Atchison That stock and St. Paul were moved up point
 Vague rumors were current all day of coming settlement of the coal strike, and operators in stocks professed sat isfaction over the small effect of the soft-coal miners strike. The presence in this city of the United States com missioner of labor and the interest in the strike thus far manifested on behalf of the president were varously regard ed. But the question of the statutory power or Lne pTeslueIt to dCIVely In tervene seemed to afford most satisfac- ton to those interested in stocks.
 The money market showed a harden ing tendency, rates for time loans ad- vancing to 41s per cent, and money lenders expressed the belief that call loans would shortly advance. The question of the possible withdrawal of foreign credits from the United States as result of the ending of the Boer war is being attentively considered in American financial circles.

GOVERNOR TO RETIRE.

Mclean is Not q Candidate for Re-Elec-
 ton.
 Simsbury, June Ex-Governor Mclean will not be a candidate for reelection this fall. This statement is positive and explicit It has been well known for some time to the governors friends that, in spite of much urging, he dld not desire a renomnation and preferred to step aside. But they had felt that circumstances now beyond his control would eventually force him in, and in that expectation they had watched and waited They have now to give that up
 It is not merely Governor McLean's strong personal inclination for that might possibly have been overcomel, but it is his physi. clans positive order that settles the atles- ton. Dr. William Porter, of Hartford, has given the governor thorough examination, and. while he DronounceS his nal ent aho. gether free from any evidence Of organic trouble, he empha tically insists upon q com plete rest. The next half year or yeal must be given up to letting the nerves recoy CT their normal strength Tho great strain of the past two years has brought the gover- nor close to nervous collapse. Time will undo all the misch'e ef and bring nihi around as well as ever. but for this period an en- tire rest is absolutely essential.

FEATURES
Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L,
 Mclean & Co.

Of the Stock Market Letter of J. L. Mclean & Co., New York, June 9.-The opening ot South Africa market will bring a great increase in the demand for American products of all kinds, particularly steel iron and copper. It is estimated that at lease 100,O00,000 pounds of the latter will find a ready market in that terri tory. In addition to the above many bullish features, we have unprecedent- ed prosperity throughout the United States and the repeal of the war tax which goes into effect on July l should greatly benefit our local money mark cts.
 It is also evident that the anthracite
 labor trouble will cut less figure day after day from this time on, whether it
 ia settled immediately or not; in fact, it is already losing its effect on invest tors who are quietly picking up such stocks as Atehison, Union Pacific, Read ing, United States and even Copper on all reactions.
 Chicago market weakness in corn had depressing effect on wheat, but still advise holding what and buying more on all reactions. There is un- doubtedly large short interest in this cereal which, when it goes to cover, will cause sharp advance in prices.

Largely because of burdenSome pro- vision in the Connecticut statutes, the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad company has not yet accepted the new per-diem rule for detained cars, though it is likely to agree in the end. The coming January, the com pany will probably appeal to the next legislature, asking for the repeal or modification of the law which gives four days for the unloading of cars It is very doubtful however, whether the lower house will consent to any change in the statute which was enacted thir- teen years ago, was strongly urged by consignees, and was passed in spite of some opposition by the railroad com- panies.

WAR IN PANAMA.

While the congress of the United States
was discussing a canal route across the
isthmus, between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans, the people who inhabit that coun-
try went to cutting each others throats-
and killing generally, all who opposed
them. But few days ago, certain revo-
lutionists were condemned and publicly
shot as traitors. When the generals were
captured they were condemned by drum
head courtmartial and shot down without
more than a few days OF grace.
General La Croix was a member of one
of the richest and oldest families of Co
lombia He fought through the Cuban
war. under General Maxine Gomez. But
he was shot down by the order of the CO.
lombian government, Immediately.
The isthmus is likely to see much blood
splitting before the United States gets a
bona fde deed to the property. II is not
a pleasant reflection, that a title must
come through a government that is torn
with revolution and anarchy.
The natives are hrt-headed. They live
in a hot climate. They fight at the drop
of hat and drop the hat themselves.
But IT is to be regretted that brave
General La Croix had to go that way.
Courage is wonderfully attractive. All the
ed to feel distressed that such aa man as
brave General La Croix had to be shot
down like a dog.

LAY SERMON,

A few days ago John Meade. living in
Brooklyn. returned to his home to find his
two little daughters cold in death and an
other child strangled into Inconsistencies.
On the floor beside them lay their mother
in a stupor-all of them the victims of
that 6eep-dyed murderer, whisky.
True, it was that mothers hands that
tied the chord about her children's necks
and launched them into eternity. But who
would say 1t was the mother instinct that
guided them? Her face and form and
physical attributes were there. but the
mother-where was she? In her place there
sat enthroned and ruled that frail form
of clay the demon drink
With hellish fury 1t seized upon its prey.
Not content with debauching the soul of
a woman, it fastened it's claws upon her
innocent children and dragged her hus-
band to an ordeal worse than death And

Of a once happy home. it lett the instru-
ment Of it's crime to regain her reason
and view the ruin it had wrought

relief on the following day and blotted

WORD IN KINDNESS AND JUSTICE

When a few days ago the public's at
.ention was drawn to an article by Pro-
lessor sledd. Of Emory college, on the
negro problem. which article gave such
general and just offense as to seriously
jeopardize the interests OF the college
with which he was connected, The Journal
promptly suggested. as a partial remedy
for the harm done. that Professor Sledd
resign from the college faculty.
We made this suggestion through no
har-h feeling for the offending professor
for, somewhow, we seemed 20 feel that he
had simply overreached himself in an
effort 10 apply his humanitarian theories
70 the negro problem; and was not inten-
tionally guilty OF a wanton purpose to
misrepresent his own people and unneces-
sarily aggravate the sOuth's racial trou-
bles. So. more in sorrow than in anger,
The Journal thought Professor Sledd's
severance Of his connection with Emory
college would be the best for all con-
cerned.
We are glad 70 see that he has. with
reasonable promptness. taken this view
Of IL, and that his resignation is now in
the hands Of the college trustees. The &C
ceptance Of the resignation. however
much Emory may regret to lose the SER
vices OF so talented a tutor, viii exculpate
that institution and, so far as the college
itself is concerned, right the wrong which
Professor Sledd's unfortunate article has
done IL.
There are some who seem to think that
the Emory professor will seek to
make capital Of his views on
the negro question; that this was
even his purpose at the outset. We
subscribe 10 no such theory, but on the
contrary. are willing to believe that he
was simply carried away by his humani-
/ tarianism-even to the point Of misapply-
| ing facts and OF expressing sentiments
the injustice and danger Of which he
must see in his calmer moments.
His vision was imperfect and his reason
/ ing unsound, and the result of this dis
ordered combination was an article both
unjust and hurtful to his own section.
But Professor Sledd says he has been
misjudged, even, in a measure, misrep-
resented, and his meaning distorted.
| II Is confessed that Professor Sledd's
motive is more clearly seen when his ar
ticle is read as a whole; that is TO say, HIS
theories are more misguided. than mali
cious. But Il Is permissible 70 look at

| Professor Sledd in the abstract. and it is
here that his article is slanderous and
\ hurtful
Surely Professor Sledd must admit. on
sober second thought. that he allowed his
zeal TO run away with him. While dis

WANT TO USE
PALM OIL IN
0LE0

y wY p ASHTNGTON, Aug. 6.-Wonder-
AK full discoveries are being made in
wv the manufacture of oleomarga-
rine, dairymen claim. The most
remarkable nutritive value of palm oil, IT
is charged, has been ascertained, within
a comparatively few weeks; that is since
congress passed the amended Grout bill
imposing tax Of 10 cents pound upon
cleo artihcially colored in imitation OF
butter. Mr.. Outcault, of Cincinnati, APP
peared before Commissioner of Internal
Revenue Yerkes today and argued at
considerable length, as counsel for the
oleomargarine manufacturers, to prove
that the recent discovery OF the nutritive
value Of palm oil was not directly due TO
the fact that it's use would impart col
oring to the product.
Dairymen, IL is claimed, have used palm
oil as coloring, and are now protesting
against it's use by the oleo-makers on the
grounds that 1t is a violation Of the law,
which imposes a tax of only one-fourth
ly colored. The dairy people insist that
the use of palm oil should subject oleo
to tax Of ten cents pound
Charles Knight, of Chicago, secretary
of Dairymen's Association, is in Wash
ington and will appear before Commits
sioner Yerkes to submit the dairymen's
side of the controversy. He says the dali
rymen cannot understand how dairy man
ufacturers have for years failed to rec
ognize nutritfve or other desirable prop
erty in palm oil, and now, after the pas
sage of the cleo act, suddenly find that
palm oil, which will give a coioring to
their product, is practically indispensa-
BILE. and must be used to give the people
an article of food they demand.
