STORIES OF THE DAY

complaining about the dog muzzle Or
dinance which went into effect on
Monday of this week. The principal
kick is that il is cruel to the CANNES
and especially in warm weather the
muzzles worry them. Another COM
plant is that Il is hard to get muzzles
that viii stay ON. Some of the dogs
can get their heads out Of the muzzles
IN short time and it is not unusual
to see them running through the
streets with the guards hanging to
their necks. Often the dogs get the
muzzles clear Off and in that case if
they are caught the owners are subject
to a fine of IS and costs. II is some
times amusing to watch the capers of
dog to get the guard off the first
time it is strapped on. 81
Merchants who sell the muzzles
have been doing a good business this
week, as hundreds Of them were sold

CONCORDANCE GOES TO COURT
Writ Of Quo Warranto Asked BY Plain
tiffs Allowed.

Harrisburg. Pa, May 6.-Attorney
General Carson awarded the writ Of
quo warranto against the Consolidated
Stock Exchange of Philadelphia, petit
toned for by A. Perrened. The attor-
ney general says the writ is an appro-
pirate remedy and can be set in mo-
tion by the attorney general. The writ,
he says. should issue against the cor
poration and not against the indi-
vidual Having determined that the
writ Of quo warranto has been ap-
propriately applied for and should be
allowed, Mr. Carson refrains from ex-
pressing any judgment upon the facts
developed before him.
The Consolidated Stock Exchange
was accused of doing a fraudulent
business and swindling its customers.
It was exposed. and some of its vic
tins asked that it be proceeded
against in the name of the state for
the purpose of dispossessing 1t of its
charter The attorney general after
hearing the evidence, has granted the
writ of quo warranto.

uation He viii Call For Troops.
Chicago, May GA crisis in the
teamsters' strike is expected to come
today State street retail merchants
have decided to send out 100 wagons
to make deliveries in all parts OF the
city. AS far as possible, these wagons
will be guarded by deputy sheriffs and
in some cases by policemen. 1t will be
impossible for all OF the wagons to be
guarded by deputy sheriffs, but it is
the intention to place two officers on
each wagon as far as the number OF
deputies already sworn in will permit.
Sheriff Barrett had zoo deputies in SER
vice, and said that he thought this
number would be ample for the work
outlined. If it is not, it is said he will
conclude that the sheriff's force and
the police are not able to control ths
situation and a request will be made
for state militia.
There was less rioting in downtown
streets, but there were numerous as
saults committed in all parts of the
city remote from the principal business
quarter.

MR. peNNEY plscIpLINEp.

XhT HEN members Of the Union ke-
w publican state Committee first
threatened to oust Mr.. Denney from
his position as secretary Of the COM
mitiee we said they would never do it.
But they did.
The excuse given Is that Mr.. Dem

the nature Of the obligation the party
seeks to impose The party rules are

Marriage and Divorce.

From the New York Evening Post.
Manila newspapers complain that the
marriage laws in the Philippines are sad
ly in need OF overhauiing. It is note
worthy tha. they also ask for divorce
law al the very moment that earnest ef-
forts are On foot in this country to put
stop to an divorces. Hitherto no divorce
has been granted in the Philippines for
any causes whatsoever, and it has been
found that the absence OF legal separa-
ton has good deal to do with the motor
iously low moral tone OF The islands. on

EDITORIAL OPINION
rhe aInsanityv Of sherman.

From the Kansas City Star.
The recent rumors of the Cars insan-
ity recall the fact that various public
men al different times have been thought
TO be out of their heads. In tho Boer war
Lord Methuen. one of the British CONF
manders. was reported to be crazy. The
most striking case Of the sort in the
United States was that of General Sher-
man, who was generally believed TO pe
insane in the winter Of 1S5i-G2
Public suspicion was first aroused early
IN the war. when Sherman then Briga-
der. told the Secretary of War that 2oo,-
900 men would be necessary to drive the
lConfederates from Kentucky. People
were not then aroused TO an appreciation
Of the magnitude Of the war, and it was
thought that only crazy man could
make such a statement
sharman's eccentricities helped TO con-
firm this impression. He was nervously
RESTLESS and active. and he frequently ex-
( pressed himself intemperately Especially
when excited he would speak SO reck-
llossly that men who were not well ac-
quainted with him thought him de-
ranged. Even Halleck regarded him as
mentally broken because Of the strain Of
the war When he went TO his home al
Lancaster. Ohio for a brief rest in De
cember 1861. his temporary retirement
was readily accounted for
This statement was widely believed
both IN the army and outside of it, and
sherman was under cloud until he had
an opportunity TO show his quality al

his reputation steddny grew until late in

TRADE ARE GOOD
Only Check to Business Just
Now Is Unfavorable
Weather
WHOLE OUTLOOK ENCOURAGING

New York, May 6.-R. G. Dun &
Co. s Weekly Review Of Trade says:
Weather irregularities provided the
only check 10 business, partly through
the direct effect on retail distribution
of seasonable wearing apparel, but
more through the development of eau
ton among traders in some agricul-
tural sections, where crops have been
damaged or farm work retarded. On
the whole. however, encouraging pro-
gress is shown in most trade reports
and industrial activity is unabated
The special jobbing dry goods sales
attracted a large attendance, and re-
suits surpassed expectations. Textile
manufacturing is in a better position
than at any recent date, the strength
of the raw materials giving additional
firmness to finished fabrics. Footwear
factories in New England are well en-
gagged, and there is no reduction in
the forces at work in the various de-
partments of the iron and steel indus
try. Aside from the Chicago strike.
there Is exceptionally little friction
between capital and labor, many
higher wage scales going into effect
this week.
Traffic returns are we'll maintained,
railway earnings for April exceeding
last years by 1O.5 per cent. and lake
navigation is heavy. Foreign com
merce at this port alone for the last
week shows a gain of $3,159,534 in
value Of merchandise imports over the
same week in 1904, while exports in
creased s1,76S, ,48S. Coke prices are
depressed by unprecedented produc-
ton, but consumption is on a scale
that precludes the possibility of any
excessive accumulation in the near -fu-
ture.
Duplicate orders for woolen goods
are appearing in moderate volume, but
this textile fabric awaits returns from
clothiers. The few reports received
thus far are satisfactory, the firm posi-
tion of the raw material precluding
the possibility of price concessions.
Hides continue firm, but sales are
smaller, as the leading buyers are
supplied for current needs. Dealers
are declining bids slightly below the
market. Leather is quiet

REFORMING THE SALOON.

THE drink question has been with
4 us a long time. Possibly some
day we may solve it to the satisfaction
.of everybody but more likely through
various agencies we shall gradually
eliminate its worst aspects.
In the attempts at reform many
ideas have found expression; regula-
ton, prohibition, state control. the
church saloon" and the use OF the
hatchet. But there is another avenue
Of reform, or for a partial reform, that
has not been very widely discussed. It
/ is reformation from the inside.
This is suggested by a resolution
adopted by the liquor dealers Of
bridgeport Connecticut who have de-
clded that they viii not sell liquor on
Sunday and will not allow persons OUT
side Of the association TO do it, They
propose to employ detectives to secure
evidence against anyone violating this
rule which is only a restatement Of
the law on the subject
Now the saloon keepers Of Bridge
port might so further out OF respect
TO the authority under which they hold
their license they might with proprl-
ETY. resolve to strictly obey every legal
provision and to see that am outside OF
the association do likewise. In mosi
States there are laws embracing the
following provisions no Sunday sales
no selling to minors or intoxicated per-
sons and no liquor for habitual drunk.
ards. In addition to the laws on the
subject, no saloon keeper who claim.

to women or win allow gambling OF
boisterousness in his shop.
Now suppose the saloon keepers
were to band together to enforce thil
code, from their standpoint would g
not be a good stroke OF business? j
would close up the dives and by pre-
venting illegal sales would increasl
the trade ihat is legal It would als'
take away the worst form Of objec
tion to saloons; and the liquor dealers
might find in consequence the demand
for prohibition growing less.
Possibly more drastic laws are need
ed. but this Is certain: 81 all the law
that we now have We're rigidly obey

evil would disappear Il would be
