dustriaI atmosphere is slightly clearer.
The fiscal year is drawing to a. close
with national finance in sound con-
dition, the small shrinkage in federal
customs receipts being no cause for
uneasiness. The most important trade
influence just now is the progress of
the crops and the past week has
brought no setback. Seasonable
weather has stimulated distribution of
merchandise, retail business improv-
ing very noticeably at many cities, al
though it is not customary to find
sales increasing at this time. Rail-
way earnings thus far for June are
surprisingly satisfactory, an increase
over last year of At per cent. being

Few changes are noted in the stu
alton at iron furnaces and steel mills
Nominally, the list of prices remains
the same, although small concessions
are reported on some orders that were
not urgent, and the average of all
products of the industry is a trihe
lower because of the declines which
were practically confined to pig iron
Taking the industry as a whole, re-
ports are almost unanimous regard
ing the lack of new orders, but there
is a wide diversity of opinion as to the
future. Many authorities anticiDate a
revival in the fall; others believe that
there will be no material change until
spring, while July 1 is made the turn

Bituminous coal and coke feel the
stagnation keenly, but hard coal is

Western markets have ruled very

Bradstreet's says:
There has been some enlarg EN- ent
in demand at the west this week, but
the betterment as yet is largely one of
tone and is predicated upon the I'M
questionably better crop advices re-
ceived from nearly all sections. Re
ports from the leading industries are
not significant of any particular re-
action from the dullness noted here
tofore. The iron trade appears to be
grounding upon the bottom as regards
prices and curtailment is becoming
widespread. From the leading textile
industries the story is one of almost
midsummer dullneSs and of a waiting
disposition on the part of manufac~
turers. Prices generally, except cot
ton and textiles, show few important
changes and really evince consider
able steadiness. Railway earnings for
the elapsed portion of June promise
to make rather more favorable COM

while bank clearingS betray irregu-

Improvement in collections is yet to

A Wholesome Play is "Sweet Clover.".
They call Sweet Clover" pastoral
play. As matter of fact it is melo-
drama.
Now don't let that frighten you.
Don't run away with any Lincoln j.
Carter IDEAS in your head. You'll make
a great mistake if you do.
Sweet Clover" i'll character is just
what its pretty title suggests-a
wholesome, clean play full OF homely
good will and simplicity.
And SO charmingly natural. Why 1t
all lies so close to nature that at every
point nothing but nature is reflected.
That quaint old white haired farmer,
the funny old maid and her bashful
beau, the simple country girl and all
the other lovable people of the story
just seem to have stepped right out of
the swaying, clover SCENTED metdows
in the flesh and blood.
They really exist.
Yes, Sweet Clover" holds the mir
ror up to nature and holds it up in
health--not in disease.
The people of this melodrama are
not the blase, tenderlon tainted crea-
lures you find in "Why Women Sim
and kindred melodramic monstrocities.
Not II bit like 'em. Sweet Clover's peo-
pie are just normal human beings doing
rational things in a rational way.
Sweet Clover indeed is II demon
stration that II play may be clean and
healthy in situation and sentiment
and yet be powerful in its interest. 1t
is II play which proves in the cnthus-
iasm it arouses everywhere that you
can appeal to audiences just as effective
ly, and just as profitaby with plot
of purity as with Sardou smut or h.
sen indecencies.
The company presenting this pretty
play, is, generally Speaking, Il very
good one. There are no very weak spots
in the cast while some of the players
are really clever.
Better actors tnan Otis Thayer, who
so convimein@y portrays the simple,
kindly old farmer, are rarely seen. 1t
is artistic character work without eX-
aggeration or the slightest affectation
Miss Gertrude Bondhill plays the
heorine without any of those maudlin
mannerisms that usually characterize
the deserted wives of sterotyped melo-
drama.
Sweet Clover drew large audience
last night-ought to draw another
large one tonight. Its worth seeing

Railway Questions,

There seems to be a general senti-
ment in this section of the country in
favor of giving the U. S. railroad
commission authority to fix freight
rates. 1t seems they have not had
that authority in the past, although
it was the superstition they did have
it when the commission was origin
ally created.
There has been so much railroad
consolidation the past few years as
well as agreements between the COM
panys that competition is we'll nigh
eliminated. This is compelling the
public to assert its rights to control
to greater extent the operation of
the roads. A railroad is not like a
private business. 1t can't be run
altogether in the interest of the own
ers or stockholders, for before they
can build it they have to obtain GER
tain rights from the public, so in turn
they must treat the public with con-
While we recognize the great need
of some authority to regulate rates
and prevent determinations and the
like, yet we believe there are other
things from which we suffer at the
hands of the roads that are more
aggravating than overcharges or dis
ordinations. We refer to poor
equipment on the branch lines, over
worked train crews and consequent
irregular and poor service, and
slow service in shipments of live
stock in to Chicago. The bad ser.
vice our people have been getting in
these respects is no doubt because the
roads know they will get about SO
much business from these localities
any way, and they can operate as
they are operating much cheaper than
to give better service.
These aggravations are slowly but
surely driving the people to assert
and to adopt more radical measures
in control of railway corporations.

Tariff revision is the question now.
Whether to revise or not, whether it
we're better to suffer the ills we have
rather than to fly to others that we
know not Of" The ills we now suffer
because of wrong schedules are surely
slight, and ought to be remedied with
out tearing up of the whole tariff
system. The fact is the Dingley tariff
has brought wonderful prosperity to
the country, and it ought to be re-
tanned, both the tariff and the pros
perity. Experts who are also pro-
tectionists may be able to suggest
some changes that would be beneficial,
but the country is surely satisfied with
our tariff in general way.
