The Drop In sseoks.

The continued decline in speculs
tive securities in Wall street is be
ginning to frightsn some persons
There is no cause, however, for any
alarm. The shrinksge has been
under way, with an occasional rally
since last fall, but no serious dam
age has been done. Something like
81, 300, 900, 900 has been lost, on the
fsos Of things, by the decline OF the
list of shares dealt in on the New
York stock exchange. Az much OF
this represents wsssr which has been
squeezed out, the decline has been
no calamity. Prices had bsen fore
cd TO . higher mark than the oondi
tions warranted, and the fall has
brought the level - far below the
line at which most Of the shares
ought to stand - they had been
above that mark last September and
October.
Some very marked differences can
be shown between the present situs
ton and that which prevailed in 1887,
1857, 1878 and 1893. The lend
speculation which assisted in bring
ing the crash in 1887 and 1857, and
the construction Of railroads beyond
the country's needs which had
hand in causing the tumble in 1873
are absent today. So, too, are ab-
sent that imitation Of an inferior ele
ment Of the currency and that men
ace of tariff smashing which forced
the convulsion Of 1893. Not one Of
those menaoes is in sight now. The
fact that, Notwithstanding the long
continued decline in Wall street, nc
really damaging business failures
have occurred is an eloquent mani
festation Of the improved condition,
which prevail throughout the ooun
try.
The railroads and all the rest oi
the great interests and activities are
buster now than they were ever be
fore. Bank clearings, in the coun
ry IN whole, are on high level
Notwithstanding the tremendou,
shrinkage in the volume Of speculs'
tion. The country's currency il
sound. Nobody who belongs to the
party which is in control Of the coun
try vents to touch the tariff Busi
ness failures keep on declining in
number aud liabilities M compared
with few years ago. Not only ID
more business being done now than
ever before, but it is being done
under more favorable conditions.
There is very wide divergence be
tween the prices on the stock OK
changes and the general business

The Panama Republic.

Ihe action BY which the new republic
OF Panama was established was one cf
secession from the parent republic OF
Colombia, II seems that practically all
the Inhabitants Of the isthmus were 10
sympathy with the movement and that
no force was required TO make the
change Of government.
Colombia has the came right that he
United States had in our Civil war to
suppress the rebellion and compel the
seceders TO submit TO the authority
of the Union. This right is recognized
by the United States in the present case
Our government has dore no more than
recognize the de facto government 10
Panama, leaving TO the future to deter
mine the rights 0: the new republic in
relation TO Colombia
Untriendly critics may say that the
Washington authorities were soniewhat
prompt in giving this recognition, but
there vas no need OF DELAY, since there
was no other government on the isthmus
at the time the de facto government was
recognized. The United States recoE
uized de facto government in the
Southern states during the Civil War
to the extent OF according the Con
tederates belligerent rights.
Il is probabie that the leading powers
OF Europe will follow the example OF the
United States to the extent OF recog
nizing the de tacto government 10
Panama; and il the people OF the isthm
show themselves able to maintain their

County Officials Have Trouble.

The county officials have been having
considerable trouble vi b the printing
recently. When the delinquent tax list
was printed in the North Fork Times
last week. which has the county printing.
It was found that down to l. i. contained
1873 errors. l. is not the Times fault
/, put in a cheap bid Tor the work and
consequently is giving work that is
correspouiingly cheap when IL comes 10
service. There are very few cheap
iohn" on,ti's that IT pays to patrou!zs
aud printing is not one of them. Com
pe'snt printers like other mechanics
cannot afford 10 work for nothing and
board themselves. There is law in
mos. states OF the Union which disaIloxs
the legal printing 10 20 away from the
county seat. 1t no. only causes the
officials a great deal OF trouble and ex
pense. which the county pays for but
gives irresponsible papers chance to
take the printing from the legitimate
representative papers at an iliegitinate
price.

Why Advertising Don't Pay.

Merchants, did you ever stop tothink
how much money you could really save.
and what fine reputation you could
get Tor doing business il you would
adopt the method OF employ ing your
clerks just one day every now and then
aud run your delivery wagons say once
mouth or 50? Il is but a little step to
carry the methods you employ in your
advertising to the other branches OF
your business and it is logical dcduc-
tiou that il such slip shod methtd d
pays in advertising it will also pay 10
cut out most ot all other outlays, Ad-
vertisiug is as much a business propo-
sitiou as the hiring OF clerks or the
running OF a delivery wagon and is
governed by the same economic laws

Camden's Anti-SaloOn Troubles.

To the Editor of the indianapolis Journal:
Correspondents from this place and Del
phi have represented this little town as in
state of uproa- and excitement, The oc-
casion is that the good people of the town
and township, getting tired of the growing
evils of the open dramshop, by a large ma
jority, defeated two applicants for license.
1t has been said that the business men OF
the town were in favor of the saloons and
worked hard against the remonstrance. One
correspondent declared that several bust
ness men have declared their intention to
leave the town, and that one butcher had
being closed. These and other falsehoods
are being published abroad The facts are
that the business men of the town are
not, as a class In favor OF saloons Half
the business men of the town signed the
remonstrance, and the most of those who
did not are not favorable TO saloons. The
butcher who sold out had signed the re-
monstrance and denies the statement of
the papers concerning the matter. One Of
the latest correspondents declares that the
temperance people now see that they have
made matters worse. The clubroom which
has been opened in effort to evade the
law is indeed bad thing. but it's evils are
slight as compared TO those of the sa-
looms. IL cannot run long. Ii is simply an
effort to discourage the temperance people
i'm their work against the saloons.
Thus far the work of the saloon gang has
been against themselves and as they have
failed up TO this time will they. IL is
likely in the future. The saloons are gone
to stay. and the ''clubroom" win go. AT
least that Is what the temperance people
are saying. ANTI-SAIlOON.

and It's Success Seems Certain.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
BLOOMINGTON, Ind, Sept. A-An-
nouncement this morning was made of a
S25 prize for the student who during the
year does the best newspaper or periodical
writing. The donor of the prize does not
announce his name. There are now fully
thirty men in college preparing for news
paper work.
The new medical department of Indiana
University, under the charge of DR.. b. ID.
Myers, of Johns Hopkins, has started OF
with exceedingly bright prospects. There
are about twenty-five students in college
this year who look forward to medical
career, and of these fifteen are upper class
men, and are enrolled regularly in this new
department. The anatomy department
bears the resemblance of a real dissecting
room, and students with shears and sharp
knives are tracing all the organs OF the cat
this first week. Ii is the intention of DIR.
Myers to dissect a human body this year.
Students are not supposed to begin work
in the department of medicine until their
| junior year. The first two years work
preparatory to the medical department will
| be done in zoology, botany. physics and
chemistry. Graduates from the department
will be received into most or the medical
colleges with almost two years standing
| AS the work progresses new courses Will
| be introduced
