An Active Demand for the
Wabash Issues
FROM GOULDINTERESTS
INDUSTRIAL LIST WAS DULL AND
HEAVY.
Prospect Of Higher Prices for Pool
Specialties in July and
August.


Special Dispatch to The Evening Star
NEW YORK. June 23.-The opening OF
today's stock market reflected few new
conditions and but little variation in the
price level. London was in holiday mood
and nstle is to be expected from that GEN.
ter during the present week
Locally the View is gaining ground that
an active and higher market will be estab-
lished during July and August, and some
of the buying now responsible for the
steady undertone is based upon this pros
pect.
1t is pointed out that there are numerous
pools in the market only awaiting some ia
vorable development to make their special
ties active. Should activity be recorded
merely as the result OF concerted effort and
later be favored with such real incentive
as the settlement of the coal strike or sue
ceesful harvests present hopes would uu-
doubtedly be realized.
The strength OF the market Is I'm itself
convincing proof that holders of stock ar.
willing TO await developments The July
disbursements may cause a Temporary bolt
during this week and next, but beyond such
Hurry, and presumng the coronat 'on To-
pass of without mishap. there is little
cause for concern. The market can best in
sure It's midsummer prosperity by the sN-
erciSe of great caution now Bankers who
are interested in the stability of am almost
unprecedented amount OF collaterals may
help to discourage any OVERRIDING.
The Wabash issues were made features
OF today's market, as the result OF an ac-
tive demand from Gould interests and III
everything western contingent. Rumors
of various sorts were circulated in expla-
nation of the advance. but the best opinion
was that the demand was largely sppcula-
tive. In some quarters an effort was made

ing. Elsewhere the steadiness of Reading
was thought to have some connection with
the movement.
The coal stocks were stronger as the re-
suit of good mixed buying attributed to
the weakness OF President Mitchelrs reply
TO the operators letter.

iado Fuel sold off easily as the result of a

dend rate will be reduced or the disburse-
ments discontinued. Copper was depressed
because of a less favorable trade outlook
The entire market presented an irregular
appearance toward the end of the day and
increased its professional characteristics

or by hired labor. with the reasons there
for-be distinctly stated. In the case of
works which have been consolidated under

Lower Court Reversed,

The Court of Appeals, in an opinion writ
ten by Mr.. Justice Morris, today reversed
the judgment of the lower court in the case
OF Robert West. appellant, against the
United States, with directions to set aside
the verdict and to award a new trial. West
was convicted Of housebreaking with intent
to steal, and was sentenced to the peniten-
tiary for five years. Testimony was intro
duced by the prosecution Of confession
made by West to the policeman who arrest
ed him. The proprfety Of the admission Of
this confession in evidence was the only
question in the case.
The Court of Appeals holds that there
was error in the admission in evidence OF
the alleged confession claimed to have been
made by West. as we'll as in the submission
of the question to the jury whether the
confession was voluntary or involuntary

The Primary in This County.

Editor The Advertiser.
The adjournment of he State EXecu-
tive Committee last night was the last
act in the drama for selecting State and
county officers for the Democratic Party.
The feeling aroused during the canvass
was intensely bitter. AnimOsities still lin
ger; but it Is hoped that ere long even
those of us who were disappointed in
the result of the primary will be able to
see that the issue was not unfortunate
for the party.
Notwithstanding the asperity of temper
which characterized the debate of the
politicians. the people in this county at
least met as friends at the polls, and cast
their votes in such quiet and orderly
fashion that nothing except the coming
and going of electors at the polls indi-
Gated that an election was going on. Not
single angry encounter anywhere in
the county has been reported The people
were deciding important matters for
themselves and were on their best be-
havior They had become disguised with
the biennial auctions heretofore known
as county nominating conventions. and
were quietly. honestly and satisfactorily
selecting their candidates for themselves.
The wsest of American economists long
ago said IF you want a thing done,
send; if you want it well done, GO" The
people went and the business in hand
was well done. The primary certainly has
commended itself to the confidence of
the people. Jefferson

Discuss Politics in the South.

From Washington to Chicago Chronicle.
Senator Martins statement that the
Presidents advice to Southern Republic
cans to begin a general contest for the
election of Republican candidates for
State and Federal offices comes too late
is attracting considerable attention. Sen
ator Martin speaks from the viewpoint
of the Southern Democratic boss, who
believes that the Acknowledgement of the
negro means permanent Democratic con-
troll of the South. Most Southern poll
ticians share he view of the Senator
from Virginia. State constitutions were
amended to perpetuate Democratic con-
troll in State and municipal governments,
they say. The negroes comprised 50 per
cent of the Republican voting strength OF
the South. With the elimination of the
negro the Republicans party consists OF
a handful of white voters, and these can
be depended on to vote the Republican
licked only at national elections.
The Democratic bosses, therefore. view
the future with complacence. They as
sumo that there will always be an ele-
ment in the Republican party of the
North which will keep the race question
alive through such measures of legisla-
ton as Representative Crumpacker in
PRODUCED in the opening DAYS of the fifty
sixth Congress. The Crumpacker bill
calls for an investigate of Southern cleo
ton methods and the cutting down of
representation of the Southern States in
Congress.
Just how seriously the Southern Demo-
Gratis of Congress took the Crumpacker
bill was demonstrated when a few I'M
scrupulou5 leaders almost persuaded
enough Democrats from Alabama, Mis-
sissippi, Arkansas and Texas to sell out
their colleagues by making an alliance
with the Republicans to pass a certain
measure of legislation in which the Presi-
dent was very much interested. The price
of their betrayal of the Democratic or
ganization of the House was to be abso-
lutte immunity from the terrors of a
Crumpacker investigation They were
forced to stand by the dictum of the
Democratic caucus only when Northern
Democrats got together and assured them

POLITICS IN III.

1t seems difficult nowadays to do any
thing ia social or industrial life without
getting politics mixed up with it. The
sstrilxes in the, Eastern States are loaded
with 1t, and 1t seems to be one occasion
when Hanna's powers have failed. 1t
was confidently predicted that he would
settle the coal strike. FOR 1t is well known
that he is afraid of the effect a contin-
uance OF the troubles will have on the
Republican Party and its prospects, but
he has failed to settle them.
A few days ago Senator Quay remarked
to President Baer that unless the coal
strike was speedily settled "Pennsylva-
MIA will elect a Democratic Governor"
Quay evidently thought this would be a
go TO work and end the trouble, butte no
doubt much to the surprise of the boss,
Baer replied that he is a Jere Black
Democrat. ''and anything that can help
the Party is in my way of linking"
There was plain politics on both sides.
Quay, like Hanna, looks only to the po-
litical effect of a continuance of the
strike. and apparently has no thought or
care for the effect it may have on other
industries or on the people generally. On
the other hand, Baer seems willing that
the troubles at the mines may go on.
with all the worry, the suffering and
the loss of life. provided such a continu-
ance will elect a Democratic Governor.
Nov, we know of no State which stands
in greater mead of Democratic admin
istration and Democratic Governor than
Pennsylvania does. If political methods
can be worse anywhere than they have
been there of late years under Republic
can rule, we fail to see how it is pos
sible; but we are not partisan enough
to wish that a coal strike. affecting tens
of thousands of people, shall continue in
definitely in order that one party may
win over the other. THAT is carrying par
tisanship beyond The limit but it seems
to be good politics up there.

that they would force action on the
Crumpacker resolution IL Southern Dem
ocratic votes were employed to carry out
an administration program. When thus
placed between the devil and the de sp
sea the Southern gecdleitrants took the
norm OF the dilemma which seemed the
easier to them and stood by the caucus.
That incident illustrated how easy 1t Is
to scare a Southern politician by threat
ening even vaguely to revive the negro
question Not only do politicians become
frightened. but Southerners who pay lit
tie attention to politics.
The Republican leaders understand the
situation. They have voluntarily sup
pressed the Crumpacker resolution. The
late President Mckinley was response
BILE for the shelving of an elaborate plan
to cut down Southern representation.
President Roosevelt has finally been won
over TO the belief that ii is better for
Congress to keep hands off the Southern
State He. In common with the leaders
of has party, has reached the conclusion
that If the Republicans of the North ap.
pear to acquiesce IL existing political
conditions in the South white Republic

how long 1t will take for such a party to
