VIOLENT FLUcTUATIoN.
Force of Market Gives Evidence of
 Animated Speculation.


 New York, Dec. 2.-stocks fuctuated violently to-day and the course of the market gave abundant evidence of the revival of something like animation in the speculation. The supposition that some of the professional operators of large caliber had resumed operations was corroborated by the appearance of the trading and the signs of boldness and resourcefulness with which 1t was conducted The softness of the early market and the readiness with which it yielded to selling pressure conveyed the impression that the active cam paign for rise, which had been en- tered upon last week, had been quickly abandoned in face of some features developed over the end of the week which were regarded as rather dis couraging. The pronounced turn in the later market suggested partly manip- ulative origin for the early relapse in the favorite manner of a veteran spec Tlative leader who has been suspected of prominent share in the initiation of the present movement. The market was plainly highly speculative in char acter throughout to a degree that has not been approached since the crisis in financial affairs The reaction in the early dealings served to shake out the weak following of the bull leader ship and to encourage renewed short ky I menced to cover extensively last week. This shaking out of weak bull mar | ket following and the revival of short interest strengthened the technical po- sition of the market and facilitated the l! later advances. Room traders held the | belief that it was designed to that end I The renewal Of the advance late in the day was assigned to the general purpose of a reorganized party in the I speculation to take advantage Of the turn towards improvement in the f- nancial situation, which made itself clearly pereeptlble already last week. l The market was described as political | also, by some observers, meaning that i speculative anticipation was being made of future events at Washington and of an expected modification of the l public sentiment of hostility towards capital and towards corporations 1 throughout the country with its cor responding reflection in the trend of Legislation and administrative acts. It 1 was alleged in behalf of this view that sufficient was known of the contents of the presidents message to be pre- l sented to congress to-anorrow to bear out this assumption of a modified view | of corporation questions.
 Not 8 little was heard while prices were declining early in the day, of the effects yet to be felt throughout the commercial fabric of the shock to | which the banking structure had been subjected. The talk was silenced about | the stock exchange during the buoy- ant rise late in the day.
 Bonds were irregular, in sympathy with stocks, but were decidedly more active and showed a large absorption. Total sales, par value, $5,S46,OOO. U. s. 2s advanced # and the 3s A per cent in the bid price

Wall street is looking to that body to take early action toward cur rency reform and the rbringing about of great elasticity in our money sup plies. 1t was this opinion that was one of the underlying forces that helped to cause the remarkable change in form in yesterdays stock market after period of decided weakness.

The bears yesterday were in full retreat. They pricked up courage when the market weakened, but fell back to covering again on the subse- quent great show of strength mani fested. The bears had argued and with some show of force that the ad- vance had been altogether too fast to be sustained and that while the finan- cial situation was rapidly mending conditions did not warrant the inaug- uration at this time of big specula- tive bull campaign In stocks.

ONE CENT RATE
FOR ALL THE
POSTALS
New Ruling of the Post
office Department Be-
mes Effective
March 1st.

An order has been received from
Washington by Postmaster Harry
Krumm announcing that after
March 1 all postal cards will be
carried by the United States mails
for l-cent postage.
Postal cards bearing written
communication on the address
side when sent in the mails are
now chargeable with postage at
the letter rate" said Mr.. Krumm
Saturday, But after March /,
1907, they will be maila5le pre-
paid ! cent. There has been an
honest difference of opinion as to
the classification of these postal
cards among the postal authori-
ties. 1t has been great standing
question for some time as to
whether they should be handled
as postal cards or as first class
matter, but this new order clea rs
all that up and the department
will, after 1st of March, con-
template the sending and carrying
of them all for / cent, whether
they be paper, leather, wood or
anything else"
"Many of the foreign cards are
made with the pictures or what
ever they show on the back and
then the left half of the address
side is reserved for writing. Es-
pecially in Germany are these
cards made and used, but are not
supposed to go out of that country,
but many Americans go oyer there
and send back here to their friends
and of course we have to carry
them. Now if any one should
happen to get out this kind of
card it also would be carried for
the l-cent rate.

BURTON HAS
STRONG Pull

From an incident that occurred
in Washington last week it is quite
evident that Congressman Theo.
dore Burton, of Cleveland, has the
stoutest kind of pull with the
National Administration in mat.
ters pertaining to internal affairs
in Ohio. 1t must be confessed
that after the Dayton state con-
vention he appeared to be without
much political strength and the
boys went the other way, i. e., to.
ward the Senator'S. But like the
small boy with the big brother OF
pugnacious disposition, he can dc
things once in while that will
get the other fellows angry. Over
in Greenville there has been flour
ishing public building war.
Two sites were favored, one in the
southern and the other in the CEN
tral or northern part of the city.
The contingent behind the south
ern site got Congressman Harvey
q. CARRIER to hell and the senator
ial alliance added it's strength.
An inspector sent out from the
Treasury Department looked oyer
the ground and decided upon the
southern site. The other fellows
were in despair. AS dernier re-
sort it was suggested that Burton
be appealed to. A telegram was
sent him, followed by letter of
explain alton. Directly after its
receipt there came an answering
dispatch advising the sending on
of committee. Three hours af.
ter the party left for Washington
there came second telegram from
Burton, saying that it was unnec-
eseary for it to come, as the Treas
ury Department had finally decid-
ell in it's favor. Now the Green
vile Republicans are wondering
how Burton, who represents the
Twenty-first District and lives at
Cleveland, 200 miles away, can
pick out postoffce sites in the
Fourth District after the two Sen
ators and their own Congressman
had made other selections. The
fellows that were favored by the
change of program are naturally
throwing up their hats and shout
ing for the Clevelander.

Why Lincoln Loved Bill
Brown.

Billy Brown was an old-time
Springfield friend of Abraham
Lincoln. He knew the President
from away back. Miss Tarbell
reports his whole story of Lincoln
in the American Magazine for
February. 1t is the best reading
of the month.
Among other things Billy tells
of his trip to Washington in 1864
to visit Lincoln. Let Billy tell
in his own language why he
went:
"Well, we had supper and then
talked some more, and about ten
O'Clock | started down town.
Wanted me to stay all night, but
says to myself, Billy, don't you
overdo it. You've cheered him
up, and you had better light out
and let him remem Der it when he's
tired. So | said, Nope, Mr..
Lincoln, can't. Coin back to
Springfield tomorrow. Ma don t
like to have me away and my boy
amt no great shakes keei in
store Bill, he says, what did
yo come down here for. Il come
to see you, Mr.. Lincoln But
you amt asked me for anything,
Bill. What is itY Out with it.
Want post office? he said, gig
gin, for he knowed l didn't.
No, Mr.. Lincoln, jest wanted to
see you--felt kinder lonesome
been so long since I'd seen you,
and | afraid I'd forgit some
of them yarns if / didn't unload
soon,
i" Billy Brown, he says, slow
like, do you mean to tell me you
came all the way from Spring
field, ILL.,, just to have visit with
ME, that you don't want an office
for anybody, nor pardon for
anybody, that you amt got no
complaint in your pockets, or any
advise up your sleeve2'
d" Yes sir, l says, that about
1T, and I'll be burned if / wouldn'
go to Europe to see you, Il l
couldn't do it no other way, Mr..
Lincoln.

nearly off, and the tears just

The Law Can Make No Ex-
ceptions.
columbus Press

There has been much said CON
cerning the screen, Sunday and
twelve o'clock closing ordinances
and their enforcement, which was
entirely aside from the real point
involved, namely: "Shall all
persons under the government of
this state obey the require tents
of the laws on the statute book? I?
Or shall some persons be permitted
to violate one law; other persons
allowed to violate another law and
so on indefinitely"
No man laying claim to good
citizenship will for a moment
claim that he or any one else
should be permitted to violate one
or several laws with impunity.
To set up such claim is for a
man to put himself ou tside the
pale of reasonable and respectful
consideration, at the hands of all
good citizens.
The only question is and has
been, the impartial enforcem ent
of the law as it stands. All at
tempts to inject politics into the
situation or organize a grand pa
rade of martyrdom, will prove fu-
tile. The questions are: "Shall
the saloon business be slspened on
Sunday's9 Shall the saloons close
at IL midnight and remain closed
until o a. m. on the other six days
of the week? Shall provision be
made for an unohstrrcted view of
the interior of saloons at all times
when the law requires them to be
closed?
The law answers each of these
interrogatores in the Affirmative.
The administrative officers of the
city are sworn to enforce all the
provisions of these laws: if they
fail and refuse to do so, they are
guilty of moral perjury and NAL
feasance, misfeasance or non
feasance in office, and are proper.
lysubject to removal, and they run
the risk when they consent or per-
nit the violation without taking
: reyentiye action.
Why should a private citizen
lommit crime by eonsentiny to
the commission of one by some
citizen?
These laws may be unwise, or
unjust, unconstitutional, but the
light of the state TO enact such
avs In the exercise OF its prero-

Edward Bratton Dead.

After hearing no word concern
ing the whereabouts of her son

years ago and her son lived with

eft home, being out of work. He
was going West, he SAID. He
failed to write and his mother

Two weeks ago she received a
letter from his former employers
at La Sale saying that Edward

letter told her there was no hope.
He died Jan. 1s.

Veterans, of which he was a mem
ber, and other organizations
