STOCK MARKET FEATURES
AS Reviewed by the House Of Prince &
 Whitely,


 Whitely.
 New York, June Considering the lower market in London where the de- cline was caused by dissensions in home politics. the opening here. although very quiet was fairly firm and at little change from last nights prices. The early weather charts showed favorable conditions for growing crops through out the country and later advices from different sections indicated a continu- ance for a time at least. The labor question and the better outlook for more definite and mutually agreeable settlement between employees and en- ployer, the assurance that no coal strike will take place were factors of increase confidence. Commission house business does not materially increase, on the other hand there is no desire for liquidation at present prices of dividend payers and earners. Taking the situation as a whole it offers to- day more underlying strength than for some time past and purchases of the better class of stocks on any recessions appear to us the better policy. A small engagement of gold for shipment to Europe was announced early in the morning and was used by the bear clique as @ hammer to depress the market; when it was announced that no gold would be shipped prices recov- cred quickly.
 The attack made by the western con- tingent on Colorado Fuel & Iron or at least attributed to this faction was in our opinion a last resort on the part of the bear clique to affect the general market but they were unsuccessful in the attempt. Buying of a better class of securities was good and as the of- ferings were light, prices were inclined to harden.
 Money unchanged. Foreign exchange firm at 4S7 7-S for short sterling.
 Wheat was firm but speculation light. Cotton tending lower for the new crop on improvement in weather condi- tions. This years crop was firmly held on account of apparently strong statis- tical position. We think the market as an investment is too high in every po- sit!on.
 The stock market in the closing hour was again given to sag under bear at- tacks and some acceptance of profits. Tn declines came quite easy and were general throughout the list until to- wards the very close when some recov- cry took place.
 The general position from the news developments to hand appears to us to be gaining in strength.
 Total sales '649, 800.

 A Progressive DuIImess.
 New York. June 17.-TO-day's operations ln stocks were made up almost wholly of professional operations of a testing charac- ter. These seemed to demonstrate to the satlsfactl0n of the testers that stock for sale was to be met on advances and that the offering down of prices did not D rom ise large success in diSlOdging selling or ders. The consequence was progressive dullness in the trading and slugishneSs in fluctuations in prices. In their attempts to move prices the professional operators made capital this morning of the cXpecta- tiOn that gold would be engaged for export to Germany tomorrow. Actual inquiry was made at the assay office by one information al house looking to a shipment of gold as tn estrength of foreign exchange here and the decline in sterling at Berlin brought the operation closely within the range of profit. Some selling of stocks this morning for London account here add:d to the require ment for exchange, but London turned buy CT of stocks later in the day. On the up- turn Pennsylvania was made the leader of the market and was lifted at one time more than two points. The movement in the st0c seemed to be due to organized efforts and was attributed to the rate at which subscriptions are being made by stockhold- in many cases stockholders are paying their subscriptions In full although the require ment is for the Daymen of only q 50 per cent. installlmont and the time for its pay ment extends to June 27. The settlement of the membership of the anthracite cOncil'a- tion board also helped Pennsylvania as 1t did the coalers, notably Reading.

Colorado Fuel and its convertible bonds suffered violent declined and only par tial rallies on account of the published re- ports of Il delay in paytnent yesterday of obligations failing due, officially explained as due to misunderstanding.

 Meeting ng..social Pleasures.
 Bridgeport, June 1.-The second days session of the twenty-seventh an- nual meeting of the Connecticut Phar- maceutical association at Beachside Inn, Greens Farms. was almost entire- ly pleasure, various games of strength, skill and agility taking up the time of the pill rollers. The baseball game be- tween the Mortars and PestIes was all that could be desired in the line of an exhibition, and between base hits and errors the crowd was kept good natur- ed. On account of the poor telephone connection it is almost impossible to learn the extent of the casualties. Un- verified rumors have it that considera- ble damage was done to the atmosphere by the batsmen.
 At yesterdays meeting there were forty-six applications for active mem- bership and six for the associate list The report of the treasurer showed a balance. of $91O.94.
 On account of the amount of business to be transacted the members of the as- sociation were unable to partake of a luncheon at the Bridgeport club in this city, but number took in the automo- bile ride about this city. Last evening the druggists spent a very pleasant eve ming listening to the concert and vau- deville programme, playing cards and dancing.

YESTERDAYS STOCK MARKET.


 There was a very irregular stock marktt yesterday morning. It acted as though it wanted to go up and very likely it would have shown a great deal more consistent strength than it did had it not been for the rumors of 8 new trouble with the Colorado Fuel company i'll the morning papers. Col orado Fuel broke very shortly during the early trading because there were some large selling orders put in evil dentIy with the purpose of knocking the price. They uncovered some stop or ders and the stock broke heavily, which hurt the rest of the market. Other parts of the list, however, recovered with great ease and showed decided ly good undertone. Pennsylvania was particularly strong feature. The street is more than pleased at the bull ish interview given out by John W. Gates upon his arrival here from Flu rope. But in contemplating interviews of this sort from prominent stock mar ket operators it is well to look into the past to see how the event has been borne out what they say for publica- ton. It is evident, however, that the market is acting better and unless it encounters some new and unforeseen disturbances prices ought to be higher.

.GoRMAN.

From the Nashville American Dem).
 The Memphis Morning News says Cor mans nomination for the presidency would suit the potheuse politicians, but 1t would not suit the democrats Of the south This Is all fol-de-rol. Doubtless German has made mistakes like all the balance of us. but when the democrats in the United States senate call him to the leadership immediately upon his re-en- trance into that body, it does not lie in the mouth of a democratic paper to cast reproaehes at him. There are some things in ,Gorman's Career we should like to have seen, otherwise, but for all that he is as sound a democrat SIS there is in the country, and would make an extremely active candidate In the east especially would he be strong. We are not welded to German or any other man. Any sound. sensible democrat with national repu- tation would suit us. But we do not want to have to follow nobody who has no chance.

Alahama,s Wap.

Prof. William James pronounces lynching "a profound social disease" l" He says it is "certain to become cpl demic in every corner of our country, north and south, unless heroic reme- dies are swiftly adopted to check it. He goes on to say that the north is already as fully inoculated as the south, and he looks for lynching bees any day in any northern city. One came at Danyille, Illinois, a city of l5,OO0 people. including the speaker of the house of representatives. city full of schools, churches and newspa- pers, and yet a bowling mob held pos session of it's streets until they were dislodged by the militia. In the south while this was going on a woman was lynched in Louisiana. and the wrong negro hung In Georgia
 There are those who despair be- cause lawlessness Is becoming epi- demic. They say our institutions are tumbling into the pit. and that bruto force and the lynching madness will put an end to society and law.
 Public sentiment is no doubt awry and lamentable, but given courageous sheriffs and governor who is not hunting another place, any state can be rid of the evil, especially if judges of the right sort are added-juages like Judges Bilbro and Aston. But one lynching has occurred in this state this year, and if that one be han died without gloves, as it promises to be, there will not soon be another.
 This is the whole case-brute force must be met by legal force, and one must be as strenuous and unflinchlng as the other. There is no other way to stop mobs. or rather to prevent their assembling. Moral suasion does not fit the case. It is not speedy or effective enough. More courage in public offcials-in governors, judges and sheriffs-is needed, and when 1t is lacking mobs will run their lawless and demoralizing course. When it is ever present. ready to act there are no mobs. Governor Jelks and our own brave judges and sheriffs are pointing the way--the only way in which Prof. James, social desease can be driven down and out.

PROSPERITY.

From the New York Evening Post.
 Praise of prosperity falls on many dull ear these days. Marshall the figures of the promising crops; exhibit the flat tering earnings of the railroads; array the statistics of hourishng general trade and you win find that the very people who delighted In them all two years ago are now in the doleful dumps over the same trade conditions which then made them so jubiant. The pnenomenon at least yields us their point of view For prosperity as such they did not care a fig. If by prosperity you mean thereby good crops at good prices steady em- poyment of labor, mill and factory busy with orders a year ahead, you only wearied them. They thought only of flush times for the boomer, the promoter. the fioater the speculator; and prosperi- ty that did not imply that was only barren ideality. Current events In the financial world are leading to thorough overhauling of definitions, as well as of accounts. Two short years have sufficed to change entirely the terms in which Wall street defines prosperity.

An Incident Recalled.

q was reminded" said a gray haired man, when l saw by the papers that Judge Gray of Delaware was to act as the fifth member of the arbitration com mission of an incident that occurred dur ing the congressional sessions of 1890 or 1891, when the force bill was under con sideration. At that time the democratic leaders had almost given up all hope of being able to defeat the measure and were at their wits end. as the republi- cans were bent on forcing vote. Just as the critical time came and hope for the south seemed all but gone, Senator George Gray of Delaware rose in his seat and. securing the attention of the presiding officer, he began to attack the bill. His attack on the iniquitous meas ure gave new heart to the democrats and resulted in such a vigorous and proong- ed onslaught that President Harrison s pet measure was defeated, and the odium which attached to the Harrison administration through his advocacy of the bill had much to do with Harrisons s defeat at the polls in 1892

FATAL DEMOCRACY.
.om the Boston Herald.

From the Boston Herald.
 For the masses of mankind a sympa- thetic chord is struck In the notes con- corning the humble origin and lowly family ties of the new pope. The papa cy has always been an essentially dem ocratic institution Questions of birth and breeding, even if they ever entered into the selection of the incumbent for the chair of St Peter, appear to play no part therein nowadays. Here is good man who has arisen from far down to- ward the base of the social structure and is exalted upon a pinnacle that, in the eyes of an immense portion of man kind, is the highest place to which any human being can aspire The head of the Roman Catholic church outranks all sec ular sovereigns. Among these some of the proudest rank and nobiest lineage bow in humility before him. In his pres ence no thought of his peasant stock is entertained. The man is valued for what he is himself, not for what his family should be with every man. 1t is of no consequence what a mans ancestors may have done What earthly difference can it make in our estimate of a person because some potentate may have shak- en a stick at one of his forebears and callel him a lord?

THE CIVIL WAR.
1t Was Caused By Ice Sheet, Says
 Chicago University Professor.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.
 The real cause of the civil war has at last been discovered. Slavery was not the cause of the great conflict. Neither was the desire of the north to abolish slavery the cause. No more was John Browns raid, or the insistence of the south on the states rights theory.
 A sheet of ice was the cause of the civil war This sheet of ice Is known to scien- lists as the flee cap" The laity think of it as a glacier. This sheet of ice, formed at the north pole 6,766,776 years ago. slowly but surely moved southward, locking in It's cold, unyielding letters the entire northen half of North America as far south as what has since come to be known as Mason and Dixons line.
 The reason for the advancement of the ice cap over the continent has never been satisfactorily explained. although many great geologists have spent their lives working on the problem. The latest explanation is that it came down simply to make good cause for the civil war
 This theory was advanced yesterday by Prof Edwin Erie Sparks in a lecture at the University of Chicago. By profession Prof. Sparks is historian. As a side is- sue for the amusement of himself and his students he sometimes indulges in pleasing fancies, and scientific specula- tion Prof Sparks did not state yes terday whether or not he believed the present ice age. known as the 'Knicker- booker period would be the cause of an- other civil war
 "The original causes of the civil war are to be traced to the ice age" said Prof. Sparks yesterday. During this age great glaciers covered the northern half of this continent. The glaciers cut out river channels and lake basins. In the rivers waterfalls were formed, while the lakes formed highways for the navi- gation of a great commerce. All this made possible, yea, necessary. an indus trial community in the north To the south of the old-time Mason and Dix on's line glaciers did not reach. Thus the south became of necessity an agri- cultural community.
 Prom the different types of society which naturally developed in these two sections arose the conflicting opinions and interests which finally resulted in the civil war.
 Because the south believed in the right of the individual to do as he roy ally pleased, and in the right of the state to secede, and because the north believed in union and centralized gov ernment, there came. after many com promiss, the final arbitarment of the sword |"
 The students, most of whom were southerns, were greatly surprised at the novel explanation of the causes of the war, but applauded the speaker hearti- " nevertheless

Short on Law Books.

A New Mexico correspondent sends to Case and Comment" the following letter, written by newly elected justice of the peace in that Territory some twenty years ago. when conditions were somewhat more primitive than now:
 T wish os would send me a fee bill for justices and constabes. l have but one law book in my office and that is a last years almanac and does not contain fee bill.
 T had my first case yesterday and the jury promptly found a verdict for the plaintiff and I charged the defendant SEQ costs. He kicked and reduced it to SIS, which he paid. l then 'whacked up with the constable, which l thought would be about right. If l don't hear from you before the next case comes on the cost will be S25. This thing has got to pay"
