"HuMILiArEp."

The Chicago Chronicle declares
that President Roosevelt has been
greatly Inundated" by the compli
ments paid him by certain Democrats,
notably John Temple Graves and Mr..
Bryan. The Chronicle says: "Presi-
dent Roosevelt has not deserved the
humiliation"
1t must hurt the President terribly
to hear a Democrat speak a good
word for aim occasionally. Perhaps
he would prefer to have his compli-
ments come exclusively from men
who, like John R. Walsh, proprietor
of the Chicago Chronicle, have been
indicted m hundred and odd times
for fraudulent transactions.
II Mr.. Roosevelt can prosper with
an everyday enthusiastic endorse
ment by Walsh, he ought to be able
to survive an occasional kind word
by humble Democrats.-Commoner.

been hanging around 129 for several
weeks, the demand being confined TO

was an order for a good sized block in
the market and the opportunity was
seized upon 10 boost the price.
Opening on one small sale at 100, II
jumped rapidly TO l35, with but one sale

TO indicate that a mutual interest had
given cause for the demand.
When this latter stock was called. the
bidding advanced rapidly to IS. with no
offerings at any price This is five points
above the par value.

The angle Of view OF brokers as to the
