Owe PATCH OF GLOOM.

In all the country's picture of pros
perity there is but one patch of gloom.
That is in Wall street. The street
affects to be puzzled to account for
it's unsatisfactory condition. when
everywhere else there is prevalent a
spirit of cheerfulness because of the
present and prospective prosperity. But
Wall street is in the dumps; covered
with gloom as with a pail. 1t con-
tinues to suffer from it's severe case
of indigestion contracted months ago
when it was over-fed with securities.
In other words, the boom in securi-
ties has been followed by the inevi-
table reaction, and it is the reaction
that is making Wall street so weak
and nervous.
Should Wall streets malady con-
tinue for a considerable time. it might
be expected that general trade and
commerce would feel the effects of it,
for the reason that Wall street is the
financial center of the country. But
there is no reason to fear that general
trade and commerce will feel anything
like as much depression as is felt in
the street. AS a matter of fact the
country could we'll stand an easing
off in the prices Of many commodities
that have during the past two years
been pushed up to fictitious valuations.
more sane and reasonable level of
prices would be of benefit to con-
sumers and producers alike. Abnormal
ly high and rapidly fuctuating prices
are never satisfactory to any interest
Permanent prosperity is to be found
in reasonableness and stability.
In his recent review of the financial
situation, published by us on Monday,
Banker Henry Clews asserted that
there was no well grounded reason
for the pessimism of Wall street,
though he looked for some concessions
in prices. 1T is a mistake he said,
to think that high prices mean gene
raj prosperity. These benefit only the
few, and sometimes mark the haste
or indiscretion of those who should
know better. The masses are bene-
fitted most by moderate prices and
NY BlOuSldlC anu D6ltSI
profits and more steady employment
for the larger number"
President Williams of the Sea-
board Air Line was quoted in our dis
patches a few days ago as saying;
IF conditions in Wall street do not
improve there will be naturally some
letting up in general business, but
present conditions are such that the
South will certainly feel the depres-
sion far less than any other sec
ton" The South, indeed, appears to
be entering into one of the most pros
porous seasons that she has enjoyed
for a long time. The cotton crop will
be less in volume than was estimated
some weeks ago, but the level of
prices, if indications are realized, will
be higher than for many years; thus
the cotton producers will have a profit
able season. With cotton, naval
stores and lumber fetching good prices,
the South is in a safe and comforta-
BILE position.

EEvER CROSSES THE RoRpER.

For some weeks yellow fever has ex-
listed at New Laredo, Mex, and threat
ened an invasion of American territory.
That it has at length crossed the bor-
der was reported in the dispatches of
yesterday. Several cases have appeared
at Laredo, Tex, which is across the
Rio Grande from the Mexican town.
There had been no death on the Amer
lean side up to Monday, and orders had
been issued to safeguard the public by
sanitary and quarantine measures. 1t
is not likely that the old-time shotgun
quarantine methods will be resorted to,
since the situation is in the hands Of
experts in whom confidence is reposed
Nor is it probable that the fever will
spread much, if at all, beyond the linn
it's of Laredo, owing to the lateness of
the season and the preventive measures
that have been adopted. In all 'likeli-
hood the United States have suffered
their last great yellow fever epidemic.
While ii is true that there is still much
to be learned about the fever, it is
equally true that so great an advance
has been made in its treatment and
prevention that it is not now regarded
with anything like the terror that 1t
was a. few years back.
DR.. John Guiteras. who is well known
in this city and section, is one of the
fever experts at Laredo. DR.. Guiteras
adheres to the theory, now accepted by
so many eminent practitioners, that the
fever ss transmitted only by certain
kinds of mosquitoes and that to prevent
the spread of the fever it is necessary
to make vigorous war on the insects.
Meanwhile his conferee, DR.. Tabor,
holds that while yellow fever can be
and doubtless is transmitted by mos
quitoes, it can be acquired by infection
as we'll During the American occupa-
ton of Cuba a number of experiments
were made in the study of the fever.
Non-immunes were exposed to the bites
of mosquitoes that had bitten fever pa
tents, to mosquitoes that had not bit
ten fever patients, and to the atmos-
phere of yellow fever from which mos
quitoes were rigidly excluded. Only
the first class OF patients developed the
disease. Those subjects who endeavored
to contract the fever by infection slept
in beds that had been occupied by fever
patients, wore their clothes and in other
manners tried to "catch" the malady.
DR.. Guiteras is among those who ac-
cepted these tests as conclusive in OPP
position to the infection theory.
Still, it is safer to do as they are
doing at Laredo; that is, to make the
fight all along the line. They have iso-
lated the fever patients, established de-
tention camps, set up quarantine and
instituted war against the mosquito
Thus action will be taken in consonance
withgboth theories, and, so far as medi-
cal information goes, no risks are being
run. --

Too s,nan for its Age.

A gentleman who had employed an
old colored carpenter to do a piece of
rather delicate cabinet work for him
was pleased beyond his expectations
with the result, says Lippincott's for
October. .--
Wishing to show his satisfaction. he
after paying the price the old man
asked-took from the sideboard bot
tie of extraordinarily fine whisky that
had just been sent 9inf and poured a
little into a glass.
Uncle" he inquired, 'Ehave you ever
tasted any whisky fifty years old?''
No, sab, 1 never has" replied the
old darby, his voice trembling with
anticipation,
well, try that. them said his en-
ployer. handing him the glass, land tell
me what you think of it,
The old fellow received it reverently,
took one sip. and raised his eyes in
ecstasy.
"Oh, sab! dat am sho1y de fines
beverage dis chile evan taste. But"
with an anxious glance at the very
slight quantity in the glass, don't
you tink, sab, it am JUS little small
for its aGe!"
1t is, perhaps. needless to add that
this gentle criticism had the desired
effect.

SMOOT WILL STAY.

Reed Smoot, United States senator
from Utah, has been reelected an
apostle of the Mormon Church and
leader of the governing body Of that
organization. The incident tends to
bring him once more temporarily into
public view and to recall the fact that
some months ago a movement was in.
stituted by number of well-meaning
persons looking to the denial of seat
in the Senate to Mr.. Smoot. Senator
Dubois If we are not mistaken, was
one of the leaders of the movement and
its spokesman in the Senate, and the
w. c. T. U. was also prominent in
the agitation. In all probability the
anti-Smoot propaganda is still in exist
ence, though not much has been heard
of it for some time.
Meanwhile it is risking nothing to
predict that Mr.. Smoot will not be de-
MED seat by the Senate, as Brigham
H. Roberts was by the House. Mr..
Smoot will remain a senator, despite
the protests of the people who are
working against him. There are sew
eral reasons for this. The House was.
frightened by the clamor against Rob-
erts. The members were looking to
their own constituencies for reelection,
and when the demand for the ousting
of Roberts because insistent they
FASTENED to comply with it. The sena-
tors are further removed from the peo-
pie than the members of the House are,
hence are not so easily influenced by
popular clamor. The senator who has
four or five or six years to serve
knows very well that his constituents
will be apt to forget the Smoot Incl
dent before the time comes for his re-
election.
While a Mormon, Mr.. Smoot is not
a polygamist. Roberts was one. The
Senate is not disposed to hold Smoot
responsible for his religion so long as
he violates no law. There has been
no charge that he has broken the law.
The Senate is stickler for regularity
and adherence to precedent. If Shoots
| credentials are such as to bear every
every legal test to which they may
be submitted, and it seems to be agreed
that they will bear any test, then the
Senate will not go behind the returns,
but will permit the senator-elect to enter
upon the discharge of the functions of
| his Office.
And finally there is another important
| point that is not to be overlooked,
namely, Smoot is Republican and the
Senate majority is of the same political
faith Roberts, who was fred out of
the House by a Republican majority
was a Democrat.

Henry T. oxnard, the California beet
sugar king, is taking an unfair ad-
vantage of the cane sugar interests. He
has employed twelve pretty girls, whose
mission is to travel and seek to i'm
press the people with the belief that
beet sugar is rather to be chosen than
cane. Sugar talk from a pretty girl
usually goes, so growers of Georgia
cane and makers of Georgia syrup may
be glad that Oxnards apostles are not
seeking to demonstrate that beet syrup
is superior to the Georgia product.
