Party administration has had nothing

1T is impossible to predict, with
accuracy the result in this or that

sonal study of the situation upon the

Gently from those statess East and

ed doubtful, or which have wavered
from time to time, first 80 Republican

me to be most favorable, and the in
dications for Democratic success are
brighter than they have been at any
time during the last four years.
Care will have to be exercised in
the selection of a candidate. In this
work there are many controlling fea-
lures to be considered, but the main
thing, after all is the platform. The
people know that when a pledge is
given the Democratic party will abide
by it. They have learned from sad
experience that they cannot expect the

cident that these conditions should
have been brought about by the Re-
publicans. The demands of the peo-
pie were plain, they constituted clear
business propositions, and conformance

the role of the obstructionist in what

Prosperity of the South.
Doubtless the Republicans will
point to business prosperity in the
South growing out of the high price of
cotton, as an achievement of their adj

they will naturally seek to make pop

matter of fact the great Southern sta

TOO MUCH CONFIDENCE
IN LISTED SECURITIES
New York Stock Exchange Wedding Out UnreIia
BILE investments.
BY w. @. NICHOLAS.

|. New York, Feb. 6.-The conscience
of the New York Stock Exchange is
undergoing an awakening. 1t is begin
ming to take action against some of
the corporations whose stocks are dealt
in under its auspices. A case in point
is that of Steel Foundries, whose Sc
curities have been dropped from the list
of those traded in on the exchange.
This action comes late, but 1t is, new
ertheless, a favorable indication. 1t is
in a sense a recognition of the respori-
sibility of that body to the public, and
may in time lead to a keener appreci-
alton of the value of it's Endorsement
to securities to which it has given d.
rect or tacit approval. There is no
way of estimating the amount of
money that has been lost by investors
who have bought stocks and bonds un-
questioningly because of the fact that
they weiR listed on the New York
Stock Exchange. This privilege Of list
ing securities has in the past been too
lightly held, and has done a great deal
to lower the popular estimate in which
the exchange is held.
Steel Foundries is far from being the
only security that should be thrown
cut of the exchange. In fact, 1t is one
of many, and its expulsion should be
followed by a general wedding out Of
rotten stuff and a sacrifice OF lame
ducks, such action TO be followed by
the erection Of higher walls against
the future admission OF securities
against which the public should be
protected by all the influence which
the organized exchanges can command.
In this particular case of Steel Foun-
dries It is claimed by friends Of Mr..
Schwab, who has been heralded as the
CHIEF sinner, that he has been misled
and badly steered by his principal legal
adviser, a Chicago lawyer, who leaped
into sudden prominence through his
connection with the original Steel and
Wire crowd. Mr.. Schwab has certain
~ been badly advised and led by some
body, and the street Is willing to hear
testimony in support OF the claim that
he has been vlctimized by selfish men.

A young virginian says: Having a

Scenery nidn,t Commit.

There is no doubt at all that in gen.
eral effectiveness opera, as it is now
given in this metropolis, is far ahead of
opera as it has ever been given any
where.
But there is also no doubt, on the
other hand, that neither here nor in
any European city, is the operate
singing, nowadays, of so high a grade,
as singing, as it was back in the be-
ginning of modern opera.
In those old days the scenery didn't
count for much. The orchestra
couldn't be compared in any way with
the modern operate orchestra. The
acting of the singers was of the most
elementary and perfunctory sort. And
it was just this last named fact that
made the singing better.
The Savannah morning news., 1904-02-07
Stnnd sim AMID SANG.

In those old days the entire dra-
matte action of the opera was brought
to a standstill when an aria began or
when there was a great duet, trio or
quartette. The singers simply stood
still and sang, with nothing else to do
that might distract their attention or
absorb their energies, whereas, nova
days the dramatic action of the piece
continues and the singers are gener-
ally expected to act while they sing
even the most difficult passages, I'M
less, indeed, the action of the piece
should naturally be suspended.
Occasionally you may hear con-
sentative old timer bewail the change
and express a longing that the old
ways might again be adopted, but
such old timers are not numerous.
Most of the old timers agree with
modern managers and modern opera
goers, that the new way is the better.
And certainly 1t would be difficult even
to imagine more splendid entertain
ments, more delightful presentations,
either to the eye or the ear, than mod
ern grand opera at its best.

close connections with the South the
opinion prevails that there will be an
immense increase in the cotton acre
age this year over last. This view is
in direct opposition to that which is
being cultivated in certain Southern
sections where an organized effort is
reported to be under way in the in
terest of planters to restrict the area
and thereby maintain the price of cot
ton on higher plane. The country
has been literally circularized lately to
the effect that the South only raises
cotton in large quantities when it is
hard up. and that its recently born
period of extraordinary prosperity is
certain to be followed by "a natural
reduction in cotton acreage. Those who
pretend to be the best informed give
this wise exposition the merry laugh
and contend that while the planters
and their friends may be talking re-
duced area and giving organized ex-
preston that way, individual planters
everywhere are preparing to increase
their own acreage rs to rs per cent. 1t

neighbors should cut down their acre

duainted with IL as being as full Of
bullish possibilities as cotton has been
at any time. Very little contract corn
is coming into the central points Of
accumulation, and reports from inter-
Tor points of the surplus states of the
West give little encouragement to look
for important Improvement in grading.
The Produce Exchange crowd" OF
New York has been bearish on corn for
months, and Is heavily short of the
market here and in Chicago. 1t is not
clear where the property is to be Sc
cured to deliver on May and July COM
mitments. Since early last fall a pow
erful speculative contingent has been
bullish on corn, although at no time
inclined to adopt aggressive tactics,
preferring to await legitimate delev-
opment of the fact that the crop is
far below the government estimate
and of inferior quality. This educa-
tional process is now well advanced
and conditions appear to be ripening
for a strong advance in prices. I'M
favorable reports of the winter wheat
outlook contribute also to call atten-
ton TO the general market situation
In grain.
j. New York almost invariably takes
bearish view of the grain markets.
largely of men in the export grain
trade and their interest Is to, keep
prices down to q point that will reach
foreign bids. The market is chroni-
cally full OF bids for Liverpool and Con-
tinental account just below the cur
rent quotations. This fact explains
the attitude of the New York party
towards the grain market. Very ma
turally, therefore, the speculative ele-
ment which looks for its news and in
spiration to the New York grain mer-
chants and commission men sell the
market short. Thus 1t invariably hap
pens that when a bull movement is
started in Chicago, and gets under
Roadway "a bitter strife springs up be-
tween the Board of Trade OF Chicago
and the Produce Exchange of New
York. II is estimated that the short
interest in corn at the present time in
this locality aggregates Is, 100000 to S0.-
100000 bushels. The bull leaders are
quite willing that this short interest
should be enlarged, and are rather en-
couraging bearish talk than otherwise.
The bigger the short interest the big
ger the killing. / have heard some Of
the most experienced specialists in corn
predict IS cents for 1t in Chicago with
in the next ninety days, and in the
same breath prophesy 81, for wheat and
80 cents for oats.

Farmers, Alliance idea.

For years the oratorlcal and literary
efforts Of the leaders Of the Farmers
Alliance throughout the country was
to keep up prices of farm products by
curtailing acreage. This plan was a
complete and utter failure from first
TO last The propaganda was followed
by occasional attempts to induce
farmers to hold back their crops One
notable instance OF this occurred in
the Northwest about fifteen years ago.
The Farmers Alliance organs urged
with great energy that growers Of
spring wheat hold their grain for 81
a bushel. The plan worked In this
case for a short while and during that
period the Minneapolis millers and
their allies in Chicago taking advan-
tage OF the bullish fever created by
the Farmers Alliance efforts unload
