Predicted Decline Has Failed to Ma teriaiise-Legitimate Business Able to Secure All

New York, Aug. 8.-R. c. Dun & Co.'S weekly review of trade tomorrow will
 There is still no indication of the de- precision in trade and industry that pes sImists predicted would follow the de- cline in securities Conservatism was developed by the uncertainty resarding legitimate business is able to secure funds as they are required. Weak spots nave. been disclosed and the technical thS stncs sta ss ter period of imitation must of neces- eity bring some losses, yet the outlook is brightened by the removal of threat ening industrial clouds. Dispatches from all sections testify to the liberal distri- button of merchandise and the disposi- ton to prepare for. greater consumption of all the necessaries of life. while the crops are making good progress aside from some cotton districts in Texas. Heavy fall trade is anticipated. It Is gratifying to find that consumers of DE place contracts withous waiting for fur ther concessions.
 The decline has now reached it's limit, Judging by the larger amount of com portant indication of a restoration to nor- nal conditions of prosperity in the steel industry. It is estimated that a large ordered for delivery in 1904. although this ID m large measure dependent on labor controversies. The railways are still Vig- orous purchasers of steel, especially as to rails. There is a fair business in plates and sheets, but an effort to resell an over supply of billets has produced temporary weakness in that division.
 There is sufficient business in the books of New England shoe manufacturers to assure full operation of machinery for several months.
 Domestic hides again average slightly lower. but small offerings maintain inn ported hides Thus far the liberal job. ping trade in dry goods has not affected the situation at cotton mills, where per- eentages of idle machinery has increased. Woolens are quiet.

 We have been solicitous for The Adver- tiser. and conscientious in our supplica- tions: now see how 1t returns our com siderations. But, like most misguided ones, The Advertiser is overly sensitive. Tn the meantime We will patiently await the end of The Advertisers struggles and will endeavor to be present and help to gather up the fragments when 1t goes upon the rock in it's efforts to Hand. "-- Mobile Item.
 That's real nice in The Item, but it needn't keep any basket ready for there will be no fragments. The only rock in the program is the rock of pure and tin- adulterated Democracy on which The Ad- vertiser has been anchored all the while. 1t isn't going of on any new and un- tried seas. nor is it going to abandon the craft on which it has sailed safely through many a storm. The Advertiser Is all right.

The Chicago Chronicle calls attention to the readiness of the policemen of that city to use their pistols and notes several instances where they have shot people without excuse. It says:
 The law does not invest police officer with the authority to adjudge and inhict capital punishment. That is what courts are for. It is not a crime punishable by death for a man to run at the sight of a policeman. It is not capital offense for a man to 'act suspiciously." No law au- thorlzes a policeman to kill man except to save his own life, and that is a right which is not peculiar to policemen, but is enjoyed by all citizens.
 These points are well taken, and are applicable to other places than Chicago. The impression which seems to prevail among policemen and other officers that they have the right to shoot any man who runs, or whom they think is acting suspiciously, is a dangerous one and it ought to be dispelled.

rHr OHIO srruArrCN.

The political situation in Ohio from a Democratic standpoint presents all the elements of comic opera. There were two factions contending for mastery in the recent convention and both depended largely upon the result of contests for control. The Johnson element secured most of the State Committeeman last year, as 1t was dominant by an over wheiming majority. The ticket it put out then was beaten by sl.ooo majority. Short work was made of contests last We'd nesday, as the Committee unseated and seated as the exigencies of the situation required. It may well be surmised that the Johnson following did not suffer in the deal.
 Those who were opposed to the John son leadership had but little showing, and received but scant courtesy. Indeed, there seems 10 have been disposition to insult those who did not willingly ac- cspt orders from the autocrat.
 The result of the deliberations, if the proceedings can be so called. was plat form diametricaly opposed in some par ticulars to former expressed opinions of MT. Johnson, who was nominated for Governor. In the fifty-second Congress, of which he was member. he was a pronounced sound money Democrat and voted in that direction on every occasion when the issue was presented.
 The nominee for Lieutenant Governor was a stauneh supporter of Golden Rule Jones in his independent candidacy fer Governor in 1880, when John R. Mclean was the Democratic candidate.
 The nominee for Attorney General was | for two terms. the holder of that posi- ton by the grace of Republican nofnina- | tion and election. It is to his credit, that he strove to use the power of his office to enforce the laws of the State against combines and trusts. For this he became persona non grata with his old political associates.
 To cap tEs climax of absurdities. after the adoption of resolutions endorsing the Kansas City platform. the endorse ment for United States Senator was given to man who refused to sup port Bryan in 'ss and who. it is charged. repeated his refusal in 1soo. Just how this political hodge podge is goins to work is question for the future to de- termine.
 The Democrats of Ohio number vast army and in times past have scored some notable victories. At times they have been successful fin contests for the Legis- lature and State offices and once had AL len G. Thurman and George H. Pendle- ton as representatives in the United States Senate at one and the same time. The nearest they ever came to carrying the State for Democratic candidate for President was in 1892 when MT. Cleve- land came within 1000 votes of securing the electoral vote. Those were the days when they were united in purpose and presented a solid vote. Now they seem to prefer bosses. Four years ago they trained under the banner of John R. Mo- Lean. who won the gubernatorial nomi- nation after a bitter fight, only to be defeated by an overwhelming majority. Last year there was another contest and though not for full State ticket, still it
 was test of strength of individual iead- CTS and Tom Johnsons side won out. There was a repetition last Wednesday
 of similar scenes.

 Philadelphia will soon possess two of the rarest coins known to exist. They are the famous silver dollars of 1794. One is at present in the Philadelphia Mint by Henry Chapman. Jr., numismatist The latter coin was bought by MT. Chap man at the sale of the Murdock collec- ton of coins and tokens held in London last week.
 The dollar purchased by Mir. Chapman surpasses the similar coin at the mint in perfection and flneness. Mir. Chapman wrote to the auctioneer in advance that he was willing to pay as high as $500 for the coin. It was knocked down to him for 4S pounds, or $40
 The 1794 dollar Is similar in face, ap- pearance to the dollar now in circulation. having the medallion face on the front encircled with stars and the date. On the reverse is the spread eagle seated on the wreath

The Chi -an Budget.

New York Aug. 2S.-Estimates for the budget for 1904 just issued. show a con- siderable reduction to the amounts to be appropriated for the building of new railroad and the maintenance of old roads. and a reduction of the expenses for educational purposes. says a Herald dispatch from Valparaiso de Chile On the other hand. the estimates, taking in- to consideration the bad financial state of the country, show an enormous in- crease of expenditures for the Ministry of Public Worship. One hundred thous- and pesos is allowed for finishing the Santiago Cathedral.

 As a result of the recent race riot in Evansville, Ind, negroes from this sec ton who had gone to that State to live are now flocking back south of the Ohio River. A train arriving in this city to- day had on board eight negro men from from Bowling Green, and three from Gal latin. Tenn, who were returning to their homes. They declare they are afraid of being hanged and shot in that State, and that the negro does not stand as good a show in the North as in the South.

BIrmIngham NeWB.
 Until the Democratic Party appeals to the sober sense and patriotism of the American people 1t cannot expect to win. If 1t follows the lead of Nebraska and Ohio the. continued supremacy of the Republican Party is as secure as the con- stitution itself. If it endorses the Kan sas City and Chicaaso platforms in the next convention the. party might as well forego the farce of a campaign. The ocrats themselves don't believe in the discredited theories of those declarations, defeat is inevitable. It Is well for Dem- oorats of the South, which Is the back bone of the Democratic Party, to think it over,
