even at the present time. whereas the
notes may mature on a falling market.
The broadening of the bond market Is
shown In the fact that the par value Oh
bonds bought on the New York stock ex-
change last week was SIG, 135, 900, while for
the corresponding week in 1903 the par
value of bonds transferred was only $4,844,-
800. In the market price of the bonds the
difference was much greater.
We come now to a significant and some
what cynical suggestion which finds Gre
dence in some quarters, that one Of the
factors in the present almost unprecedented
rise of the stock market is the desire OF
railroad fnanciers to retire their notes ana
float new bond issues. That Is, finding the
time propitious because of absence OF hQui-
datfon, over-extensien Of the short INTEREST
and a certain amount OF absorption OF Sc
curities by trust companies, national banks
and other institutions these inanciers have
abetted the manipulation that has helped
alcng the advance. OF course. business is
business, but 1t should be the business OF
an investor to look at alrpoints OF propo-
sition before he unfolds his roll.

without ceasing. Had the Spanish ships
passed through the Suez canal they could
not have presented themselves in those dis
tant waters in trim for campaign. We
held the bases of supplies. and other ma
terial advantages. The war came to an
end. and Spain's ships returned home.
Russia is very hard pressed Her armies
are in retreat, and what ships she has
afloat fit for action in that quarter are
locked up. The cripples at Port Arthur
are under the sleepless eye of Admiral
Togo, and the Vladivostok squadron seems
to have shot its bolt. A little wanderer
from there has just put in at San Fran
cisco complaining of great disability. Her
complaint may be a ruse. But, whatever
the play may be. this ship Is not hunting
Japanese man-Of-war. She has skedad-
died from the fighting line.
So why this talk by Russia about re-
Stunning action on a large scale on a sea
where she has no ports open. and where
the ports of other powers are all sealed up
by the laws of neutrality? How far will
the Baltic feet go? What viii 1t do en-
route? What could 1t do if 1t managed to
get In striking distance of an enemy which
now controls the situation?

Bends Instead Of Notesp

One result of the enlarged demand for
and higher price of railroad bonds may be
the conversion into bonds of the many mil
lion dollars worth Of shert-term notes sold
by railroads within the last eighteen
months. During that time, when the bond
market was shrinking and prices declining,
railroads of good credit, needing money for
the continuation of improvements already
entered upon and not to be suspended with
out loss found 1t impracticable to float
bonds. In some cases they could not sell
the bonds at ALL but in most instances they
could only be sold at grievous price con-
cessons. The investment and speculative
public shuddered at the prospect of new
flotations. and at every such suggestion the
market jolted down.
Railroads then had recourse to the ex-
pedent of borrowing money on their notes
to mature at a stated time, and as rule.
not far in the future High interest rates
were paid for the accommodation, but this
was found cheaper than forcing bonds on
market that would not take them.
Now that the tide has turned (but for
how long no man is wise enough to know
the bond market has broadened, and it is
said that railroads are being urged to sub
stitute lower Understanding bonds for the
higher Understanding notes. Some finan-
ciers figure 1t out that though the CONVEX
sion would cost money, yet 1t would pay

The American Woman.
From the Brooklyn Eagle.


The American woman Is Independent. and
she glories in it. She probably earned her
own living before marriage, and she not in
frequently prefers to continue that course
to marrying. Bachelor girls are many, but
are In a tremendous minority. College sta
tistics show that most college women
marry though they rather apt to marry
after twenty-five, and that they raise typi-
cal American families, of few. but highly
educated and highly efficient children. That
is the American ideal, and to realize 1t the
American woman brings to bear more en-
ergy than she devotes to amusement. She
belongs to all sorts of organizations and
does all sorts Of work outside of her home,
but she makes that tributary to her care Of
that home. She aspires to be something
more than nurse and cook for her children.
She will be their Intellectual adviser and
leader and their intimate friend even after
they come from college. She will cook and
wash and sew for them If necessary, but
she will retain their intellectual companion
ship at any cost. Her ideal is to be q
homekeeper rather than a housekeeper
Just how she does 1t all is continual puZ-
zle to the man who has enc set of duties
clearly marked out in his business and who
sees his wife attend to half dozen. But
that she does it well is the testimony of al
most every teacher who comes in close con-
tact with the college or even the high
school student.

War Messages.

Transmission Of messages on the field of
battle has been and is an important matter
in military science The side which can
send and receive information to and from
different points along the front and be-
tween the front and rear with the greater
CELEBRITY and secrecy has a distinct advan-
tage. One feature of the Russo-Japan war
is the enlarged employment on the battle
field of the telephone and telegraph.
The field telegraph has been used in many
wars since the days of Morse. Some Of the
reminders of the American civil war that
are pointed out to visitors on the old fields
are glass insulators nailed to trees showing
where war wires ran. But these field tel
egraphs were usually far In the rear of the
fighting line. 1t is the japanese who have
connected their outposts and headquar-
ters and who have advanced the telephone
lines as the outposts have gone forward.
They have strung wires along the front so
that the left of an army Is in instant COM
munication with the right, perhaps miles
away. and with all necessary intermediate
points
In the recent Virginia maneuvers the Sig
nal Corps Is reported to have done excellent
work in stringing wires and keeping all the
parts OF each army In touch. Though the
forces employed in the Manassas maneuvers
were small. the Signal Corps could indef-
initely extend its work The signal service
Of the American army has been brought to
high degree Of efficiency in the Philip
pines.
In the Russo-Japan war wireless teleg-
raphy has played an important part and
this agent is destined for wider use.
Frequent reference in the war dispatches
has been made to pigeons. These winged
messengers were freely used in the Anglo
Boer war. London Black and White re-
Gently had an entertaining article on the
birds that have been carrying Japanese
messages from ship to shore. Long before
the homing pigeon was known in Europe 1t
was used in eastern Asia. It was with the
descendants of this oriental pigeon that the
Japanese several years ago stocked their
naval and military lofts The Japanese,
after investigating the qualities of the hon.
Ing pigeon as developed In Europe, re-
nounced the eastern bird and imported
patches of English birds. These were held
prisoner and their progeny installed in lofts
along the western coast Of Japan and on
ships of war;

Mr.. German as Censor.

Tradition has 1t that one of the most i'm
portant services rendered by Mr.. German
as chairman of the democratic national
committee in 1884 was in censoring all the
outgivings of the candidate. Mr.. Cleveland
was new TO national life and very sensitive
Attacks began to multiply, and being of a
combative disposition he felt himself chal-
lenged to reply. Mr. German took the op-
posite view of the matter, and was reused
to energetic protest by a letter which Mr.
Cleveland had prepared for publication
about charge which Mr. German thought
should be ignored. There was a stormy
interview between the two men, but Mr.
German triumphed, and moreover secured
a promise that he was to be consulted
about all such things In future. AS a re-
suit. Mr.. Cleveland got through the cam
paign without being inveigled into any con-
troversies.

committee, and not the candidate. who

Yellow Peril Nonsense.

W elbow peril talk Is again becoming
loud. The columns of some newspapers
are vibrant with 1t. It Is urged that all
these victories over the Russians will If
they do not completely turn Japan's head,
at least swell it. Some editors say that
Caesar feeding on bears meat will grow
TOO proud. As the purist, who makes ex-
qu!site choice of his words and shoulders
at slang would put it, THE Jap Is gettin'
chesty."
But let US be reasonable Suppose the
japanese do hold their heads a little
higher? The added height will not hurt
Them They can stand on their tip-toes
without looking down on us threateningly
Perhaps these people who have routed the
Russians do feel little exalted It is only
natural
The gentlemen with boards said to them
File upon you. you brown dwarfs: out
upon you, you swashbuckling pygmics
how dare you lift your voice against the
holy car. If we want to break China.
don't You interfere; back to your kimonas;
We will eat Christmas dinner in Tokyor'
Now that the little people thus fie'd upon
have made the blood-curdling Cossack look
like three lead dimes 1t is but natural that
they should feel buoyant
Is the American a model of self-abnega-
ton? Does he expect to inherit the earth
because of his meekness? Does the man
from the states wear a veil to shield him
self from the public gaze? If we had
handled Russia as Japan has done would
we immune ourselves in the clustered
shade of some far off monastery that the
worlds applause should not reach our
ears?
Ii the japanese do feel jubilant they
have earned the right to jubilate. If the
Russians had done to the Japanese what
the Japanese have done to the Russians
they would probably be saying to every
body: Get off the EARTH" or at least Get
out of Asia!'
