NEW YORK, Feb. 1.-THE amount of
business done in stocks today was slight
ly larger than yesterday, but the char
acter of the market was unchanged. All
of the increase in business was done in
the first hour Of the market, the sales in
that time reaching almost as many
shares as for the whole day yesterday.
This business was a buying movement
largely confined to the New York public
utilities and which was without explana-
tion in any news development. 1t was
regarded as an effort on the part of a
party of traders to awaken the market in
to some animation and start prices to
moving
One or two railroad stocks were includ-
ed in the movement. 1t failed entirely to
attract any following and was abandoned,
prices being allowed to drift slowly back
to last nights level or below 1t, when the
traders took their profits United States
Steel preferred was heavy at all times
and this helped to discourage the attempts
to lift prices. The selling of that stock
had no other explanation than the sup
position that a speculative line was be-
Ing disposed Of. Amalgamated Copper
seemed also to suffer from some specula-
tive profit taking, but hardened after the
announcement of the declaration OF a
dividend of $40 per share on Calumet &
Hecla, which is double the rate declared
in the corresponding period Of last year.
Wall street has an abundant supply of
and naval activity indicated in these
war news, but the extraordinary military
and naval activity indicated in these
market advices seems to have little eff
feet on prices.

Railroad Earnings Diminish.

The declining tendency of railroad earn
ings is a subject of much discussion.
Gross earnings for the first week in Feb
ruary show declines in the average and
complaints by railroad officials OF the
continued storm blockades point to the
continuance of this tendency. The fact
that the decrease from last years level
Is more than accounted for by the decline
in earnings of the trunk lines and Eastern
railroads is point in confederation of
the contention that storm blOckades are
the explanation rather than falling off
in available traffic But the fact that
the ratio Of the decline in earnings has
shown steady progress since 1t began last
summer makes the subject one Of misgiv-
ing. The war in grain rates among West
ern railroads threatens also to extend
into trunk line territories over the dis
puted differentials on lake business to
Philadelphia. AS these disputes are in
regard to contracts for business yet to
come, the uneasiness over poor show
ings Of railroad earnings is aggravated.
The bond market was exceedingly dull
but quite steady. Total sales par value.

Wat tho I ion Tan,er Feared.

L. L. Minnick, of Pottsdam, o. who
once travelled as head of a circus, has
many stories Of the tricks and manners
of the show folk and of the wild ami
mails they carry about with them.
"Along in the days just before his
death, Colonel Dan Boone the famous
hunter and trainer" he said, developed
a fear of bronchitis, which grew to be
a regular nervous mania. He would go
into the cage with a snarling lioness
with young cubs without the slightest
fear, but was scared to death of a
breeze. One day after an exhibition
fight with the fiercest lion we had he
came out of the cage ana said to me:
".Louis, this will prove the end of
me yet
"sGood Lord, colonel I said, you
aren't losing your nerve? You surely
are not getting afraid of that brute?'
".Afraid of that dag he said, dis
gustedly. Afraid of my nat! Nothing
of the sort But these cages are the
worst places for draughts in the coun-
try. know I'll catch a cold some day
that'n prove my death. Louisville

VOTING MACHINES IN JASPER
Baxter New Era.]

Not in the spirit of virulent criti-
cism does the New Era speak of the
NEWTON Herald's advocacy of the in
the county Of Jasper. 1t is rather
with genuine amazement. To ma
chine this county it would cost from
eighteen to twenty thousand dollars.
Are the people of this county ready to
invest this large sum of money for ex
perimental purposes? Why not let
others do the experimenting and this
county then profit either by their
success or failure? Voting machines
are in their experimental stage, and it
is believed always will be. In using a
machine how is voter to correct a
mistake? He can not do it. Under
our present system he has his work
before him. In running over his
printed ticket he may discover mis-
takes and by securing another ticket
may correct them. After he has once
pushed the button of machine
he is done for. And, what's the mat
ter with the judge or clerk doing lit
tie extra voting on their own account?
Again, the machine will have to be
Well-housed and as tenderly cared for
as if it were a baby. And say, cleo
ton day, should the machine get out
of gear, what is to be done about it?
The Australian ballot is always ready
for action. Let us cling to it. And
now there is another matter in con-
nection with the expenditure of coun-
ty money that should receive the ear
nest and careful consideration of orr
people. The Jasper county court
house, as all will agree, is mighty
sorry affair. 1t is really a disgrace to
the county. 1t will tumble down one
of these days, with loss of life it may
be. Buy the voting machines and a
new court house, which we ought to
have, will be remote affair. In other
words the need of this county is a
new court house, not voting machines.
The promoters of the voting machine
should be turned down hard and
cold. 1t appears like a graft PROPOSE
ton to say the least.

SCOUTING THE GREAT ISSUES.

It is real mean for us to do it, but we
can't resist a smile when Judge Par
ker opens his address to friendly edi-
atars with the remark, II will not take
up your time with any reference to
the great issues upon which our party
confidently appeals to the people for
endorsement" So long as the candi-
date at the head of the ticket nominat
ed to defend these great issues" and
to execute proposed reforms, should
he be elected, so long as he dares not
great issues for fear he will say
something to offend one of the several
hundred warning wings of the demo-
cratic party, how is the opposition to
suppress its mirth at the situation?
A candidate for president, in the first
public speech he has babe in the CAM
paign grandiloquently waves aside
"any reference" to the great issues"
and attacks republican performance
with the carping criticism of "extrava
gance." The spectacle is humiliating
when seen in the candidate for the
highest office within the gift Of the
American people. The arguments in
support of the charge are specious and
misleading, too for he claims a deficit
in the treasury of forty-two millions
without making any allowance for the
fifty millions paid out on the Panama
canal account as part of a tremendous
investment for the good of the worlds
commerce.
However, contemplate as such eva
sion of the great issues" is, such criti-
cism, if prosecuted vigorously, will
serve useful purpose. 1t is the ten
dency of every party or set of men
long in control of government expendi-
lures to constantly increase such ex-
penditures. Every politician and
every reformer is pushing his pet pro-
iect and there are few pet projects, no
matter how unselfish may be the mo-
tive of the protector, that do not call
for the expenditure of money. 1t is
true that the government is doing
more for it's people than it ever did
and the taxpayer is getting more for
his money, but expenditures have in
creased enormously, and if Parker's
opposition does nothing more than
force policy of retrenchment and
economy it's otherwise ludicrous per-
formances will not have been in vain.
