able rise in stock prices in this coun.

days ago membership rights were sold
for $50, and one seat was bought
at the unprecedented price Of sos, 900.
transaction of this character soon the
price will reach 100000. or somewhat
more than SO per cent. greater than
the rate at which seats were sold two
years ago. In 1872 Stock Exchange
seats sold for $4,000, and this was re-
garded as high.

transactions nowadays average close
upon 100000 shares day. If every
member of the Exchange were active,
and If the business were evenly di-
vided, such daily business would give
to each member a commission upon
about 800 shares, amounting to q
yearly income Of $32,7O0. This is. of
course, entirely apart from individual
operations and profits.
These Stock Exchange seats are re-
garded as assets. There has been in
the past some trading in them for the
sake Of the profits gained by the rise
in the rate, but the tendency was dis
couraged by rigid enforcement of the
rule that the purchaser must be ac-
ceptable to the governors of the Ex-
change. Men now sell their seats only
for urgent reason, such as failure OF
health, or removal to other fields. In
the latter case the New York seat Is
more profitably turned into
cash, at the high rates now prevailing,
than to be held for future use. When
a member of the exchange dies, his
executors sell his seat fol, the highest
rate. The bidding is often
spirited, and some OF the most strik-
ing advances in the record prices have
been scored in this way.

schedules of the new imperial tariff
against American goods, thus averting
tariff war with the United States, Is
the climax to protracted interchange
of correspondence between Secretary
Root and Ambassador Sternberg, In
which Secretary Root has achieved his
first great feat of pure diplomacy.
The success of the State Department
in obtaining for another sixteen months
equal consideration in the German
trade with other governments that have
made great concessions to obtain the
minimum tariff in Germany, without
any amelioration of our schedules
against German goods entering this
country, ranks as one of the notable
works Of statecraft in several decades
of the recent history of the American
foreign office. Had Secretary Root not
already given ample promise OF being
a diplomat of the first class. he would
now be hailed as the new stellar light
in international politics.
All Done In a Month.
Only a month before the action Of the
reichstag, the German government was
still apparently inexorable In its posi-
tion that the maximum rates would be
enforced on Marcn 1.
In the light of the reichstags action,
at the earnest solicitation of Chancellor
Won Buelow, one might be led to think
a colossal bluff had been attempted, and
pushed to the last moment by Germany.
But this, 1t Is understood here, Is not
the case. The seed of education as to
the result of the tariff war, which Mr.
Root had been sowing. did not sprout
until within the last few weeks; tnen
| its growth was rapid.
Realizing that Mr.. Root was thor
oughly familiar with all the premises
and sound in his understanding Of what
the results would be of any course pur.
sued by Germany, and that he could
not be shaken from his position OF
nolite regret that no concession was
nossible at this end of the wire, the
German statesmen quickly went to
their reichstag. and had legislation
passed deferring the trouble.
Had the department here shown
signs of hysteria, or had Secretary
Root not fully appreciated the several
onc,es of the case. or had he made eN'
cited efforts to have Congress act hur'
riedlv In giving Germany concessions
before March I. the Germans would
have decided that the United States
could lie coerced bv actually APPLYING
the maximum tariff. but Mr. Root :
iplacid explanations that nothing AT an
could be done here, either before or
after March /. had an exceedingly
n,ieting effect upon German tarln
opinions. ...,.,,a.
which was so remarkably effective IN
this case Is all the more notable. in

1t required great courage to under
take this work at the time and in the
manner she did. But she possessed
that requisite and exercised it on
many occasions. She never faltered,
never lost heart. though she was con.
stantly subjected to ridicule, calumny
ana opposition. Few women were
brave enough to follow her in those
days. In 1852 she addressed a large
convention OF men teachers. A clergy
man who was present complimented
her afterwards.
"You spoke ably and WE'LL" he said
"but l had rather see my mother

ed from the State and various other ways
the lands under water around that mu-

nicpal asset" In New York the munich
pality has been richly endowed. But
where in New Jersey has the policy that
nicipality? In the terminal cities of Jer-
sey City, Hoboken and Camden the
water front is almost entirely in possess
ion of foreign corporations. The cities
own nothing.

It is estimated that what remains of
the riparian domain is worth about 49,
100000. The question is whether the
State school fund is to get small frac-
ton of that value, all the rest going into
private pockets as heretofore, or whether
the property shall be held intact for pub
lie school purposes, to be leased in ways
to give the income and the increment to

only one answer to that question.
