Wall Streets Furry.

The fire insurance companies are
forced to sell securities In order to OBJ
tain money with which to pay losses
in San Francisco and nobody wants
those securities at boom prices. The
boomers cannot take them because the
banks are not in a condition to furnish
money on which to carry them. Be-
tween the sales of the insurance com
panies and the forced sales of the
marginless, the supply of stocks ex-
ceeded the demand-far exceeded IT,,
and prices went down.
But it is safe to assume that prices
will not be permitted to go a point
below real values, and when fictitious
values have disappeared the liquida-
ton will be at an end, and matters in
the speculative storm center will right
themselves. Any artificial depression
will quickly disappear, simply because
there are capitalists awaiting oppor-
tunities to buy securities. The San
Francisco complications have been
freely discounted, and real values are
taking the place in Wall street Of
artificial values.
The great business of the country
has small relation to the combats of
bulls and bears in Wall street. 1t is
1ock-bottomed on demand, and on
great crops that are coming on finely.
When railroads are crowded with
traffic, and shops are full of orders,
Wall street cannot make much of an
impression. 1t will be left to correct
its own orgy in stocks,

Count Whites Retirement.

At this distance and in field
wholly foreign and strange. it is diff
fcult to account for the displacement
Of Count White just before the assem-
bling of Russias first parliament The
great Russian found the task in hand
increasingly difficult, distrusted as he
is by all parties, and it is easy to see
why he desired to retire before May
10, when the douma is to meet.
But why NJ. Goremykin was put in
his place, it is not so easy to see.
From 1895 to 1899 he was minister of
the interior, and in that difficult post
he was not terrorist of he Durnoyo
or Plevhe sort. He seems to have
been appointed because he is man
of tact. No one in Russia considers
him man of marked ability. He
seems to be a man who runs with the
hapes and hunts with the hounds. and

Handling Explosives.

II is not a bit hazardous to say that
more explosives are manufactured,
consumed and handled in this district
than in all the rest of the cotton belt,
and yet no special regulations are en-
forced here in relation to them. The
explosion at the quarry of the Sloss-
Sheffield quarry on Wednesday after
noon is inexplicable. It never will be
explained But that is no reason why
reasonable regulations in the handling
of explosives should not be enforced
throughout this district. Cars filed
with powder or dynamite stand on
every switch. and thousands of per-
sons in this district know how to use
such materials. Properly handled,
stored and used either, is an useful
agent, but Just as soon as carelessness
of any sort creeps in trouble begins,
and it is a trouble that may yet prove
ueBtTuCtlNc q nlSu utSioN " itiboii
lie.
The entire subject needs treatment
and consideration. Few know to what
extent explosives -dynamit as well
as powder-are used in this district
although no sight is much more famil'
lar than the cans and boxes which
hold the stuff. The cans are generally
painted SO that they are known to the
eye, but few can pick out the boxes
in which sticks of dynamite are
packed. A carefully '.epared set OF
resu atoms baseG on the best eApe-
rience in other mining districts would
no doubt save many lives. The. ex-
, plosion OF Wednesday was by nc
means the only disaster that has be-
fallen a district in which blasting
goes on almost continuously.

Marching Through Georgia.

In discussing the incident that has
disturbed Georgia deeply, and moved
the rest of the country in a less de-
! gree, the fact should not be overlooked
that Father Thomas Sherman is a
chaplain in the United States army,
and when it was determined to send
detachment of troops over the route
of his fathers march, the son was
naturally interested. Who invited
him to join the expedition does not APP
pear plainly, and now that the entire
movement has been squelched, it will
perhaps never be known who really
the department of the gulf, seems to
be willing to shoulder the responsible
| ity, and the public will have to let it
go at that. The subject Is not one
that interests Georgia alone. The
papers in all parts of the country are
discussing it, and the following article,
clipped from the columns of the New
York Mail, staunch republican paper.
light. If" 1t says, the Rev. Father
Thomas Sherman had wished to follow
his famous fathers tracks from Chat
| tanooga to the sea, on horseback, in
carriage, or on foot, and had chosen
to make the trip alone, or accompanied
by single civilian, it is not likely
that any southern objection would
have been made. Probably his right
to purely personal interest in Gen
eral Sherman's proceedings in there
gion in question would have been rec
ognized, and he might even have re-
| ceived courteous assistance from the
people along the way.
But who can wonder that the
Georgia people are offended when the
sons tour takes on character of q
military demonstration? Father Sher-
man. escorted by a squad of United
States cavalry under an officer, and

ment,' becomes at once an offensive
reminder of the past
1--WE do not know who is responsible
at the war department for the pro-
vision of a military escort for this ex-
petition. but it must have been some
one who was incapable of putting him
self in the place of the southern peo-
pie whose homes were ravaged in 1864.
1.-THE proceeding is in bad taste, to
put it in the mildest way. 1t would
be a good thing If the military part Of
it were abandoned Let us stand pat
on the old march to the sea. This new
one is too much like rubbing 1t in

Our New theatrical Trust.

A group of Vaudeville managers
have Joined the theatrical trust, and
the capital. of the new combination is
said to be $30,000.000. The new com
bine represents not only vaudeville,
bur also the drama and musical pieces
and its object is said to be TO create
a theatrical system which may be
regulated throughout the country by
one general management and one gen
eral policy Birmingham is included
in the scope and plans of the new
trust. and we have therefore no spe-
cial grievance
But is it best that the amusements
of the people be committed to one
management and one policy? The
theatre has an educational side, and
education is not the best grip of the
known managers of the new trust.
The scheme has been maturing for
D.
reaching. 1t promises to concentrate
the amusements of the people on
Standard oil lines.
Still the Shuberts are outside the
trust, and while they remain indie
pendent all hope is not gone. After
all. a trust-controlled country has no
right to expect its amusements to be
exceptional. What Ats oil fits amuse-
ments as we'll, even If the latter be
to some extent educational. But per-
haps the new trust will eliminate the
educational feature, and then amuse-
ments will simply be amusements,
and it will not much matter who con-
trolls them.

Modern Christianity.

Since / was youth have noted many
changes for the better in the attitude Of
the various Protestant denominations
toward each other, said a Kentuc<ian.
II used to listen to controversies among
theologians and laymen regarding predes-
tnation and free will-Calvinism and Ar
minianism. These doctrinal matters are
seldom alluded to now. 1t is perhaps well
that they have been dropped. The Presby-
terrain church and the Methodist church
each clngs to the old dogmas. but it 10
a good sign perhaps that these dogmas
are no longer accumulated.
81 heard a Presbyterian pastor in Bir-
mingham say not long ago: While | am
a strong Calvinist / do not ask laymen
in my church to subscribe to any partic-
ular theological system. All I ask is a
belief in the elemental tenets of Chris
tianity. If a. candidate for membership
in my church were to tell me that he
subscribed to all the doctrines and prac-
tices of the Roman Catholic church or
the Anglican church, or the Baptist
church, but for some reason desired to
be connected with the Presbyterian
church, l would gladly enroll such an
one
at is suspicious that dogma is minim-
lied In modern Protestanism. The old
ontroversies-largely metaphysical, were
exceedingly bitter. and no good came of
the discussions. Liberal views in Protes-
tanism have come to be tests of modern
church fellowship and liberal lines will
be extended as time goes on"

The "SWAMP ANGEL. ~

From the Charleston News and Courier.
Brigadier General Edward Wellman
Serrell who is described as lone of the
greatest civil and military engineers OF
his time, died in New York last week
He was the engineer who first surveyed
the inter-oceanic canal routes for the
government acrss the Isthmus of Pan
anna. He also built the Hoosac Tunnel.
and planned and constructed the suspen-
sion bridge at Niagara. We are told by
a dispatch to the indianapolis News: AN
hour after Fort Sumter was fired on Ed
ward Serrell offered his services to the
government. They were invaluable He
planned the Swamp Angel battery that
won the Siege of Charleston" Wasn't
that wonderful? The Swamp Angel
Battery" of which our contemporary
speaks, consisted of an S-inch PARROT
gun 1T burst, August p. 1868. and was
sent with lot of old metal to Trenton
n. J. The gun was rescued from its inn
pending fate and set on a granite base
on the corner of Perry and Clinton
streets. in the city of Trenton" where 1t
probably Is to this day. The siege OF
Charleston was not raised until some
time in February, 1866. nearly two years
after the Swamp Angel had been re-
tired from service. .e

Steffens, who dressed UP Little Rhody''
as "a state for sale" DIR. Faunce couldn' t
believe that the state had ever been for
sale, and he intimated that Mr. Steffens
was a shocklngly bad fellow to say such
things. On the whole, the president of
Brown lined up against the muck-rakers.
Then arose the well-known Providence
lawyer and Independent republican, Rath-
bone Gardner, with square Endorsement
of Steffens and the Rhode Island muck
racking. Mr.. Gardeners speech quite re-
stored the equilibrium, for no one can
doubt that his knowledge of the facts is

to the assembling of parliament
and he has filled its empty purse. He
has stood between the Emperor and
abdioation. and he goes out of office

official career. He will hold that
place In history, and his services may
