The secret OF the failure to move the Sc
~curities of the international Mercantile
Marine, or the Morgan shipping combine, is
in part explained by the cabled provisions

document. 1t is small wonder that j.. Pier
pont Morgan. the giant of finance, whom
Wall street has been led to regard as able
to do anything and everything that might

known of the provisions of this agreement
ever since 1t was signed. 1t puts the prop
erty of the shipping c~ombination just about
as thoroughly at the mercy of the British
government at any and all times as a piece
Of land in England would be If the govern
ment wanted it for public purposes.
TT international Mercantile Marine was
launched with much laundering in the in

in the matter. and it evidently used the

BUSINESS.

Wall street has had a very strenuous
week OF il. but the commercial reports
gathered from all over the country and
published yesterday make one Of the best
showings these reports have ever made
Commercial failures were less than the
corresponding week OF last year: consump-
ton was even larger in all lines except
hating in the promptness Of collections.
notwithstanding the tension in the stock
market there was. during the week. a
slight recession of interest rates in Indiana
polls and a number of large loans on which
demands for renewals were expected were
liquidatcd. while one or two new ones
brought out unexpected competition among
local financial institutions.
While the buying movement in pig iron,
billets and other primary forms of iron
and steel still hesitates in the expectation
Of further price concessions. inquiry in
these lines is heavy, indicating that a very
fair buying movement is likely TO start
at any time buyers can have assurance
that the market has reached a steady level.
Manufacturing in all lines, except cotton
textiles, continues unchecked, and that this
manufacturing is for the purpose Of fill
ing orders is evident. for few concerns
would be disposed to pile up fin
ished product with labor and ma
terial costs at the present level.
Notwithstanding conflicting news" in
4ho S,ao-Io4;ro -r,;o 81 The a~paoto-
ton Of good crops of wheat and corn grows
firmer among the people all through the
West and gives a very steady tone to gen.
eral purchasing. Increased railroad earn
ings show that traffic Is considerably be-
yond that of last year, but the same old
trouble of a shortage of cars is already
felt. Notwithstanding the great amount Of
new equipment that has been put in serv-
ice during the year.
The threat of continued labor trouble is
gradually passing away. and 1t is more
than likely that the present wringing of
water and tears in Wall street will prove
very beneficial to the business Of the
country at large. This mass of "undi-
gested' securities, involving heavy commit
ments on the part of nearly all the big
concerns in the street, has been hanging
over the business situation like The sword
of Damocles FOR nearly two years. The
sword has fallen. but nobody outside the
specializing fraternity is hurt 1t is very
evident that. while money rates in New
York still have considerable effect on
discounts throughout the country, the New
York operators have lost their power to
make money scarce ia the interior, and
Western credits are of a character too sub
stantial to be shaken. even by the most
violent whirlwinds in 1.-THE street"

1t a sufficient reason why the mothers
should not be uplifted? 1t is acknowledged
by workers in philanthropy, including
speakers at mothers congresses, that
women who find themselves in the unhappy
position of unmarried mothers are not un-
deserving Of instruction in the art of being
good mothers. If, then. effort is permissi-
bic in behalf of one in a case where there
is no father, why refuse it where the
fatherly relation is fractional? Should in
their fate, TO be reared without the benefit
of the latest scientific methods and to grow
up in a haphazard, u~nregulated way, be-
cause their fathers are too much married?
To the mind of non-mothers this will seem
hardly a proper course, and until the gen.
tile ladies, now so Indignantly in retire
ment, shall show that p~olygamous mothers
are not really mothers in any proper sense.

est opportunity ever likely to be open to

versational and oratorical blast? A great
chance has been thrown away.

AN INSUFFICIENT ARGUMENT.

The New York Tribune is very angry with
DR.. Littlefield. of Alexandria, Ind, for his
presumption in even attempting to generate
living germs by chemical process. and
scolds at him to the extent of half q col
umn. His presumption. it thinks. lies in
the fact he has tried to do what men be-
fore him have definitely proved could not
be done. In conclusion it advises him to
read the history of SUCH experiments and
remain in discreet retirement henceforth.
The Tribune's attitude is a foolish and sur
prising one. DR.. Littlefield may or may not
be right in thinking he has created these
germs-this point the Journal does not care
to discuss at present; but it is no argument
against his conclusions to say that because
other men have failed in the same attempt
therefore he must have failed. Such a rule
would put an end to all scientific investiga-
ton. Most of the important discoveries and
developments in the scientific world have
come after much study and research and
many unavai2ing experiments. One worker
after another engages in the study without
results. and may abandon the undertaking:
but finally one more persistent or ingenious
or learned than the rest stumbles on the
long-hidden secret, and What once seemed
impossible becomes a bit Of everyday
knowledge. In no department of the nat
ural world does the door Of scientific prog
ress ever become definitely closed. In no
direction can it be positively asserted that
N T. L---- -~.x1 x-;IY 49,
cease to investigate while any mystery re-
mains undisclosed. 1t may be folly, as
the Tribune says, to seek to discover the
secret OF life, but the fact that it has never
been discovered is not a sound reason for
refraining from seeking after it. The Trib-
une's powers of logic have evidently col
lided with it's fears that the disclosure Of
such a secret would compel it to revise a
portion Of it's theology.

Mason. In 1891 the party held a national
convention and nominated candidates for
President and Vice President. There was
except his disappearance. He might have
been paid 10 leave the country. but it suited
the party managers to assume that he had
been murdered. A. K. Mcclure writes:
The death of Morgan was most dramati-
cally presented in the political organs or the
day. and the new party speedily ABSORBED
most OF the opposition elements to the
Democracy in the Northern States. The
anti-Masonic national convention that net
in Philadelphia in 1880 was presided over by
Francis Granger. of New York, and was
composed OF Dinety-six delegates, repre-
senting New York. Massachusetts,. Connect
icut, Vermont, Rhode Island. Pennsylva-
MIA, New Jersey. Ohio, Maryland and the
Territory of Michigan. This convention was
held more than two years before the presi-
Dental election. for which it was expected
TO nominate candidates for President, but
instead of making nominations it adjourned
TO meet in Baltimore in September, 1881.

Ohio added to the States represented: John
c. Spencer was its president, and William

President and Amos Ellmaker. of Penn
sylvania. for Vice President.
In the election that followed the anti
Masonic party polled a considerable scat
tering vote in many States. but only car
ried one State. Vermont. In Pennsylvania
it elected a Governor. Thurlow Weed was
one of the foremost anti-Masonic agitators
in New York. Some time after Morgan's
disappearance a body was found below
Niagara Falls, which was said to be his.
When doubt was expressed as to the iden-
tity of the body Weed remarked that 1t was
"a good enough Morgan till after the cleo
tion." The expression passed into a pro-
verb.
The growth of the anti-Masonic party
was one of the most remarkable episodes
in American politics, and it seems incredi-
BILE now that an attempt should have been
made to organize a national party on so
narrow a basis. Mr.. Butler, who was
closely connected with the incident that
gave birth to the party, took very little
part In politics after its formation, his pref
erence being for the law and business.

The surveyor Of the port at Louisville
has made a record for strict construction
Of law and regulations. A few months ago
the Danish consul in that city received q
dress suit and a diplomatic uniform from
Denmark. The dress suit he was allowed
to take, as it had been shipped from this
country to be used as a pattern in Dem
mark, but the officer insisted that he must
pay duty on the uniform, and rather than
do it the consul allowed it to be sent back
to Denmark. Now the same official has
refused to admit free Of duty a Swiss flag
which the Swiss consul had ordered with
a view of placing it on his Office. The duty
on the flag was s2.25. The amount was
trifling, but the consul objected to the prin-
ciple of requiring the official representa-
tive of the government of Switzerland to
pay duty on the flag of his native country
which was to mark the consulate of Switz-
erland in Louisville. Under the ruling Of
the surveyor the flag will be consigned to
the government bonded warehouse for a
year and then offered for sale at public
auction. The Louisville official is much

influence Of men and women teachers. To
obtain some data he took the testimony Of
53 men and lSS women as to the teacher
that had done them the most gooc- All
but two had teachers of both sexes, but 81
per cent of the men and so per cent. of the
women testified in favor Of men teachers
Closer inquiry showed that the relative m
fuence of men and women teachers differed
with pupils of different ages. and as a sum-
ming up of the whole matter Professor
Bell concludes: The women teachers seem
best for the period of childhood: both sexes
equally right for the period from nine to
thirteen; men for adolescence. The in
ffuence of both is needed for all ages" This
leaves the question still open with a prob
ability that more depends on the individual
ity and personality Of the teacher than on
the sex.

nave been mysterious rumors concerning
the alleged progress of an airship which

of the Smithsonian Institution. An elaborate
plant was erected and the utmost secrecy
was maintained. Yesterday the machine
made q trial trip. which was ended in a
few seconds by a dive from the air into
the water. Perhaps the most remarkable
feature of the case is that the Ordnance
Board of the Wal Department made two
allotments of $4,000 each, $4,000 in all. to
assist Professor Langley in carrying out
his ideas.
