Perhaps Wall Street should not be
blamed for its somewhat narrow view.
1t is doing business to a considerable
extent on other peoples money now,
but it does not seem to realize it. There
is, of course, much legitimate trading
done in the great speculative mart, but
trouble among the Wall Street gam
blers produces scarcely furry over the
country now. as it did a few years ago
when the rest of the country was doing
business on capital borrowed from Wall
Street.
A few years ago when the west was
having hard times and mortgages were
taking the farms, owing to the scarcity
of money and high interest rates, the
government did not kindly step in and
deposit funds in all the banks Of the
country to relieve the stringency. Not
at ALL That would have been Populism.
But that is just what Wall Street ex-
poets the government to do for it when
ever it gets hard UP.
Perhaps it is all right for the secre-
tary of the treasury to thus aid Wall
Street within judicious limits, but 1.-The
Street. takes itself too seriously. When
it speaks of the business of the coun-
try it usually means its own specula-
tions.

WALL STREETS VIEW.

Wall Street can not get over the i'm
preston that when It takes snuff the
rest of the country must sneeze. The
gamblers on the Street" firmly believe
that when they are pushed for money.
the business of the country must be
going straight to the bow-wows. Listen
to the following, which is sent out to
the newspapers by Wall Street
brokerage firm:
The money situation dominated
the security market this week as it has
for many weeks previously, and the
business of the country leans still
upon the treasury as the most i'm
portant voluntary factor in case of
need. Consequently what the secre-
cusSed with as much interest as ever
and 1t IS relied upon that the funds
which, deposited during the autumn
were slated for withdrawal soon after
the first of the year, will not be so
with drawn If the business of the
country seems to be inconvenience
when the times arrives. In fact. the
secretary has already postponed the
first $12,00O,000 withdrawal for two
weeks, extending the time of return
from January 20 and February 1 to
February 1 and February Is. respect
lively. The silly walls of protest
against the treasury measures for re-
lief of the money market which we
heard earlier. stigmatizing the secre-
tary as the alder and abettor of Wall
Street speculation, are beginning to
die on the ear and are only echoed
now and then in the far off editorial
of the small western paper. These
prophets of limited vision can not
comprehend that the strain upon a
stretched rope extends throughout its
entire length, and that what is bad
for the great money mart. where all
business, in its crystallized and highest
form, concentrates. is equally baleful
in proportion for the small and remote
trading point. IT, says the secretary
in his last report those who recognize
that deposit of money at Denver re-
lieves financial tensfon at Wall Street
will also acknowledge that a deposit in
New York relieves financial stringency
in Denver. no material harm will en-
sue. Money is almost as liquid as

USE THE PROBE.

1t is to be hoped that the charges of
graft that have been preferred against
the city engineering department will be
promptly and vigorously sifted to the
bottom If contractors have been held
up" by the city engineer as is charged
by one of them-and the charges are
direct and specif1c-there should be no
temporizing with the matter.
Here is an instance where a good
personal reputation would be inval-
liable to the accused, but good per-
sonal reputation is not one of his as
sets. Previous escapades and the per-
sonal habits of City Engineer McCabe
make these charges easily believable.
In fact. McCabe would probably have
long ago been dismissed from the city's
service had it not been for his political
pull" Yet it does not necessarily
follow that he is guilty of these hold
up charges simply because his personal
morals are bad, and he Is entitled to a
fair hearing on the matter in hand be-
fore he is condemned.
If, however, the evidence is found
to be strong that either bribery or
'hold-up" methods have been practiced
in any of the city departments. Wig
orous prosecutions should follow.
Public morals demand that boodling
and grating should be punished. There
is usually too much of an inclination
among those in authority to let such
matters go by default.

THE ILLINOIS PRIMARY.

In Illinois the primary has been
grated on to the convention. In
other words, a primary election is held
at which the voters not only vote for
the candidates, but they also vote for
delegates to conventions. Then these
delegates meet and cast their bal
lots for the candidates according to
the way their respective townships or
counties went. OF course it usually
happens that no one has a majority if
there are more than two candidates
for one Office. but after the first ballot
the delegates are free to make trades
and combinations until some candi-
date has a majority. Regarding this
primary Governor Deneen said in his
recent message:
1.-The operation of the primary cleo
ton law has been satisfactory. There
were no snap primaries or conven-
tons. no unseatins of delegates, no
double conventions. The electors voted
quietly and secretly. and their votes
were counted as cast. The primary
election law should be extended to all
cities, with an emergency provision to
have 1T effective at the approaching
election
Which is true as far as it goes, and
which corrects a number of evils from
which Kansas has suffered. But it is
far from perfect. The delegates are
probably put up in the first place by a
ring of politicians in the interests of
some special candidate, and trades are
made on the other Offices to secure
that one candidates nomination. How
this works is told by this paragraph
from the Chicago Inter-Ocean:
Nevertheless in Cook county two
Republican candidates for whom the
greatest number of Republicans voted
were not nominated. Neither was the
Republican candidate for state treas
urer who secured the greatest number
of Republican votes and the greatest
number of instructed delegates"
The primary election, where the
primaries of all parties are held on
the same day, is a good thing but no
system of nominating candidates in a
delegate convention will truly repre-
sent the voters on all Offices
Why not allow the voter to specify
his preference as to all candidates, and
then take the average first choice of
all the voters as the nominee?
