Special Dispatch to The STAR
NEW YORK, September 21.-There was
some difference OF opinion among specuia-
tors as to what course the stock market
would take today. Yesterdays sharp rally
caused surprise generally. because 1t had
been expected that the market would con-
tinue sluggish with a downward tendency
for the balance Of this week. As pointed
out in this column yesterday. however.
close observers Of the transactions on
Wednesday were confident that the short
selling greatly exceeded the profit-taking.
and they were certain that rally would
follow In a few days. but did not look for
1t yesterday. By some 1t was thought that
today's market would be less active than
that of YESTERDAY. while others were in
clined to believe that today's transactions
would be largely continuation of yester-
days. In other words. they believed that
the buying tendency would be much
stronger than that to sell, Some observers
believed that the market would be some
what Of see-saw affair for a little time,
until certain important matters now well
advance are fully worked out.
-
The information continues to come from
well-informed banking circles that a deal
for the acquisition of the st. Paul, in the
interests OF Southern Pacific and Union
Pacific, has been actually closed, and that
an announcement to that effect will be
made as soon as the money market looks
more favorable. well-nformed banker
says that 1t may be taken as an actual fact
that II the Union Pacific actually secures
control of the Baltimore and Ohio there
need be no fear of antaGonism on the part
of Union Pacific interests, toward the Van
derbilt properties. He says that there Is
the same assurance with respect to the
Union Pacific. as well as the Pennsylvania
Brokers who have not been enthusiastic
with respect to the Erie property hereto
fore. now think ravorably Of the securities
marketwise. II the Baltimore and Ohio deal
With the Union Pacific Is carried through,
IT is believed that the Vanderbilt roads will
have an opportunity to reach the coast over
the Hartman lines. 1t is believed that the
pennsylvania will reach the same objective
points over the Atchison. On the other
hand. it Is thought that the Hill lines will
reach the Atlantic seaboard over the Erie.
and that Mr. Hill. instead of Mr.. Hartman,
VIII be the dominating force In the Erie
property.

Martinsburg statesman. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1869-1906, 1906-06-22

In an exchange of courtesies between
Gov. Folk and District Attorney Je-
rome, the governor commented upon
the difficulty of securing convictions OF
rich men for plundering the public.
He said sit is easier, under the lame
and hating criminal procedure in Am
merican states, for a camel to 60
through the eva of needle than it is
to put rich man in the penitentiary
for crime against the public"
The governor blames criminal pro-
ceduren for a condition that has been
brought about by lawyers themselves.
There is no doubt that it is most I'M
usual and difficult matter to convict a
rich man of plundering the public or of
any serious oftense against society. In
a great many cases the fault has not
been with the law SO much as it has
rested with the men who adminibter
the-law.
There are enough laws on the statute
books to cover every form of crime
against society. But the cunning
ly devised plan of procedure acts
| as bar to prevent proper enforce
ment of all the laws, especially when a
weak or flexible individual has the ad-
ministration of law within his power.
1.-THE criminal PROCEDURE" against
which Gov. Folk inveighs was de-
vised by lawyers and not by laymen.
One reason court dockets are so crowd
cd with untrled cases is due to a form
of procedure whic h may line lawyers
pockets with money, but does not
facilitate justice or lessen the expense
| IF litlgation.

Col. John r. McGraw has written a
letter to the Democrats of Webster
county that will apply to West Viz
ginia Democrats generally and which
is full of good sense The Col. requests
that no convention instruct nom inees
for the state legislature to vote for him
for United States Senator, and infer
ventially for any one. The Col. says
that question should not be mentioned
but all energy and fact should be
brought into action to get control of the
legisl. tue without regard as to who
will be voted for for Senator. There are
other questions of more Importance to
the people. The chiefthing is to get
at the iniquitous tax laws that taxes
every cents worth of the farmers
property, things that were never tax
ed before and that never should be tax
ed. The quesrion of railroad legisla-
ton is another more important matter
with the people than the individual
who may be elected United States
Senator. These questions come right
home with telling force to the people
| in gederal and the farmers in particu-
lar and if the Democrats capture the
legislature the matter of selecting a
Senator will be promptly and proper
ly attended to.

William Jennings Bryan is an en-.
igma.
He is the puzzle of American poll
tics.
Look the situation squarely in the
face.
Here is man who on occasion has
all but disrupted the Democratic party
BY his radical views he drove count
less thousands into the ranks of the
enemy. He was cursed and berated
and belittled. Time after time he went
down to defeat He was leader with
out one victory to his credit, and the
one thing that friend and foe could
say ofhim was that he took defeat
gracefully and possessed that unlick-
able American spirit that permitted
him to emerge from each disaster " It'll
words of hope on his lips
Today the signs of the times are that
Bryan is stronger politically than
when it was believed he was at the
zenith of his popularity. There doe
not seem to have been a concerted at
tempt to force him into the presiden-
tial race, and yet, as state after state,
has held its convention the indorse-
ment of the Nebraskan has been spon-
taneous and unanimous.
And the man has grown. One would
think that he had studied Grover
Cleveland and the Sphinx and had
learned wisdom rom both the sage of
Princeton and the inanimate inhabi-
tant of the desert which has served as
the insignia of silence since the days of
Caesars.
Mr.. Bryan weighs his words. He
thinks deeply. Many campaigns ard
great disasters have taught him much.
He no longer waves torch. He has
discovered that poverey is no longer an
argument when every man who wants
work can get it and the land drips
with fairness.
He i. better politician than of yore
and i. may be a better citizen--cel tain
ly a much wiser politician.
He is big man.
You can't get away from ii.
The Democracy of indiana, of Ar
knansas, of South Dako,a and Mis-
souri,, and the leaders of Ohio, are hail
ing him as Moses.
