DepeW on Stocks.

Senator Depew. who keeps on
speech-making regardless of either
the temperature of the summer or
the condition of the Parker boom. has
attempted 20 relieve the present pessi-
mistic shadow which hangs over
financial circles by declaring that the
situation affords no cause for alarm.
The country Is simply resting
after its wild debauch of promotion
and speculation he said. When the
waiting which always accompanies a
Presidential election is over, the enor-
nous accumulations which are the
despair Of the money lenders and the
prosperity OF the savings banks will
be utilized by the people, made wiser
by costly experience"
The Senator is unquestionably right
about the people being made wiser by
costly experience. Some Of them, for
instance, bought Steel preferred at
about 80 just before something hap
pened TO the pump and the water
overfiowed. Ever since they have
been spending their enormous ac-
cumulations," sending good money
after bad, in hopes that some day the
stock, which persistently sticks TO so,
may 90 high enough TO enable them

will be good enough for them.

many, and It tells just where the
pessimistic shadow comes from

well observed. Whether, however.

and when their bills came in they
were almost as much surprised and
borrihed as some of the trusting peo-
pie who thought St. Louis hotel rates
would be reasonable. The cause of
their sensations, however, was not the
size Of the bill, but its wording. Miss

They thought II was a mistake until
they came to compare notes. But
each and every bill had the item of
intoxicants in full view. They went
20 investigate. and found that all
guests at that hotel were charged for
alcoholic stimulant, whether total alb
stainers or not. Other American
tourists have at one time and another
run against similar rules. but this
was the first the suffragists had heard
of It, and they were amazed. indig-

Mr.. Hits Candidacy.
1t was thought that the solution of
the Vice Presidential cOnundrum had
been found when Representative Hit
expressed a willingness to have the
honor thrust upon him. Almost every
one jumped at the conclusion that the
question was settled and that Hit would
be the nominee. His age was suggested
as being against him, but that didn't
count for much as an objection. The
boom had scarce been foated. however,
than Il came softly but swiftly to earth
again, punctured by the record OF the
would-be candidate. This was not
bad record but IL was a record not
compatible with the present position Of
Isis party. II was a record not simply
favoring reciprocity with 'dnada, but
favoring something far more radical
than reciprocity-it was for commercial
union with Canada contemplating the
destruction Of custom houses from tur-
ret 20 founda ton stone on both sides
