NEW YORK, April 20.-Thfs was another
day of small things in the stock Market
but on the other hand, little was to pc ex-
pected of the days transactions, IN vie" OIL
the general tendencies of the Market
throughout the week. No inspiration what
ever was derived from London, where the
stock market was fully as sluggish as that
in Wall street. Operations here for for
eign account were upon trfiing scale
There was little or nothing in the morn
ings news of any Importance marketwise.
The weekly reports of the mercantile agen-
cies upon the state Of the country's trade
showed a further contraction in activity
in most lines on account of the unseason-
able weather conditions prevailing through
out the country.
The grain market continued very firm,
apparently on the more widespread accept
ance of the reports of damage to the win
ter wheat crop which are now being for
warded' from the west.
With the course of the morning unfav-
able forecasts of the weekly bank state
ment indicating another large expansion
in the Joan account were published, but at
the time even these predictions failed to
stimulate the trading into greater activ-
ity. In fact. considerable number OF
usually active stocks were not dealt in at
all during the uTSt nOuT Oh DuSlneSS.
No Features Of Interest
The dealings in General developed no fea-
ture of special interest except in SO far as
one stock surpassed another in respect of
relative activity and extent Of fluctuation.
The characteristics in question were as
usual chiefly expressed in United States
Steel common AmaIgamated Copper, Amer
lean Smelling. Union Pacific, Southern Pa
cific. Reading and Atchison.
The bank statement showed another very
large expansion in the loan account that
item rising today s25.3I7 900. This makes an
increase IN the loan account of $62, coo, OOO
within the past two weeks. In a general
way this extraordinary change was ac-
counted for by the Resumption by the To-
cal banks of loans formerly made directly
by the trust companies and other nonclear-
lng-house lenders. Cash holdings increas ed

It was formerly customary for the regularly sometimes once a year. and reeulriy. sometimes once a year, and sometimes in every nt of remorse that followed his debauches, and then Break it.
 But now it is gradually dawning on the world that pledges do not stop drunkenness. When a man takes a pledge voluntarily he expects to keep 1t. Every man expects to keep his word, and every broken pledge costs the drunkard many a heartache. But he cannot help it. He fights as long as he can, then succumbs to the craV- ing. The nervous system of the ha- bituaI drinker Is diseased and he must have treatment that will cure this condition. This Orrine will dQ. and Is sold under a positive guarantee to cure the drink habit or the money win be refunded. No other treatment for the iiquor habit is sold with such liberal guarantee.
 Orrine is prepared in two forms; No. 1 a powder, perfectly tasteless and coll orless, which can be given secretly in any food or drink. Orrine No. 2, in piIi form, is for those who wish to be cured of the habit. and 1t should be taken by every one who swears off.

WHO SAYS sOg

Some one in Washington, with the evident desire to tickle Roosevelts vanity, puts forth the Statement that there is no opposition on the part of the great industries of the country to the enactment of laws to carry into effect his ideas of Federal control as he has proclaimed them so often of late. To this report The New Bedford Standard says:
 It would be interesting to know just what great industries have throuS h men commissioned to speak told the president that they desire Federal con trol This city is one of the chief centres of one of the great American industries; but we have never heard a lisp that there is any call from any man prominent in cotton manutactur- ing for a Federal oversight of the corporations engaged in it. There are a good many other great industries which see no allurement in Federal control Take the industry of pub example Where is there good req son that the national government should meddle with 1t?
 The Standards disbelief in the state msnt has good foundation. We doubt if there is any great industrial or com DsrciaI business in the United States that would voluntarily come under Federal control as Roosevelt would

nnAnrNG EvIL FRuIT.

Psychologists tell us that deep hidden in the human mind wherever not eliminated by cultivation, resides the old brute instinct, which ss often brought to life--the old desire to ob- tain from my neighbor that which is his. but that which would have mine. Unknown to themselves. perhaps a large percentage. of the agitation which has been sweeping like wave over a great part of the land against indus trial corporations might be traced to this old-time impulse. The argument has been openly used that it will better the condition of the poor and that if 1t produces i'll. 1t will fall on the "fel- low in New York" that the rich will have to bear the brunt of the burden. with giee, percentage of newspapers referred to recent Wall street distur- bances as "The Rich Mans Panic" Believing in these unwise leaders. many people took up the war against capi- tai.
 Now, although happily not too late, the error of their ways is being made apparent to them. In the recent finan- cial convulsions which have shaken the whole country and from which the South has not escaped, we can but see the inevitable outcome of agitation against vested property. And it is not the rich man who is hurt. He is well provided for. But it is the small de- positor, the man who has accumulated by hard earned savings, small com potency for later years, who feels now the effects of demagogic legislation enacted largely for political and per sonal purposes, and who suffers most from the recent railroad legislation" No sane man will seriously attempt to controvert the proposition that i'm pending. though possibly even now effects of the government in many states being placed in the hands of those who have a furious and un- governable impulse to rule. despite the courts of the land. This is now re-acting upon the good but misguided people who looked to them as deliverers and have found them. alas, destroyers. both of the property of The great and the small, the rich and the poor.
 A prompt and unmistakaole repudia- tlon of these unwise and unstatesman- man like leaders will do more to stem the present tide to financial disaster and impending panic than all the gold fin the United States Treasury.

have it. The encroachments of govern. ment on individual rights and fiber. ties are advancing fast enough under the present party of capitalization and usurpation without any additional legal encouragement. If the great industries should express an opinion on the sub- ject we think it would be for laws to curb Roosevelt and his administra- ton. k
 What The Standard says about the newspaper business under q dictator ship will apply. with probably less force. to any business subjected to governmental control and supervision. It may be that the statement sent out was only put forth as a sort of feeler to see how 1t would take. and that it really came from the President or some one connected with him. However. that may be, it lacks confirmation. |

PUBLIC OPINION.

As showing how public opinion will change The Albany (Ga) Herald has this example: <.
 Tn Brooklyn the other night an i'm mense crowd attended a joint debate between Senator McCarren and former Lieutenant Governor Woodruff on the question whether President Roosevelt was responsible for the late wall street panic, During the debate the names of j., Piermont Morgan and John D. Rockefeller were received with im- mense applause, while there was but Roosevelt This is an indication or the swing of the pendulum. A little while ago Morgan and Rockefeller would have been greeted by the same crowd as "malefactors of wealth" if their persons had escaped violence.
 A week of two earlier the very men tion of Roosevelt would have set the audience wild. yet on the occasion re- ferred to 1t seems there was none So poor as to do him reverence." while, as The Herald shows. the late objects of popular hate received all the ap- plause and honor Yet the President is no worse and Morgan and Rocke- feller no better than they were be. fore. The simple explanation is that popular opinion set Roosevelt down as the man whose acts tended to wreck the country and the other two as the men who saved 1t. That is all.

Household surrestionn.

Nothing more readily sells a worth less and spurious "old master" hid eous with all the bIantant tricks of the fabricatcr, than an old frame This is the bait which it most killing. But dealers themselves often buy pictures for their frames At the celebrated sale nt the Sellars collection, most of which were copies and were of little value as works of art. the dealers were actually bidding for the frame only.
 To the experien ed eye the peculiar patina which age has imparted to these old frames cannot be initiated. But the old styles have, on account of the enormous demand. been repeated in modern days as copies. sold as such. or as "fakcd" frames having a spurious suggestion of age artfully imparted 10 them by skilled workmen.-The London Oatnion.

crops. until recently. was a novel idea at the South, and an innovation yet looked on with suspicion.
 The South. as we know it in this land of ours. extends from the moderate temperate zone to where 1t kisses the growth of citrous plants. Cotton is king. but tobacco, corn, wine and oil are scarce subsidiary to it under proper agricultural economies. Michfsan can not grow finer Irish potatoes than Mississippi. and Mississippi can beat Ohio out of sight raising onions.
 We believe President Roosevelts vicksburs speech opened a new vista to the South. Reclaim the Mississippi delta, confine the waters of the great river, drain the swamps. make beaute- ous homes and teeming fields or what are now wild waste lands, richer than the valley of the Nile. where MT. Roose- welt went a-hunting last week. ana there vegetation production will sur pass Mesopotamia even when that, then fairest of lands. was the garden or the world. through which the caravans oI the old ages carried the wealth or Indiana. .nn-
 Meanwhile the South has some prop iems that are confusing and make tribulation.

The Agricultural south.
Washington Post.


 It is computed that the South will contribute to our international trade balance the current year considerably more than half billion of dollars in the exportation of cotton fiber alone, to say nothing of cotton oil and oil cake. Then, when We recall that the South's s sugar and rice crops curtail enormous ly importations of those articles, we can readily see that the South is a hand-an d-a-half in the creation of our National wealth. What would be- come of the balance of trade if it were not for the South? All our ex- port tobacco is grown at the South.
 And this Is despite the fact of de- moralised farm labor and crude and improvident methods of cultivation that prevail In that section. Little atten- tion is paid to the virility of seeds and the improvement of plants. though the vegetation Is susceptible to advance ment by selection and adaptation. such as holds in animal life.

SOME REGENT LESSONS.

The Indianapolis Star, unlike some
 other Republican organs, very candid
 ly admits the significance of some re-
 cent events as to their bearing on some
 phases of Rooseveltism. Speaking of
 the results of the election in cleve-
 land The Star says:
 Tn most respects the result in Cleve-
 land is depressing. It Is well known election of Burton. for it's national significance. Probably most sane persons recognized in the Burton
 municipal proposals a more statesman socialistic schemes of Johnson. The
 result is a distinct reverse for the ad-
 ministration program in Ohio. and for that reason Is disappointing.
 In the same editorial this allusion Is made:
 One of the most impressive popular
 demonstrations of recent times was the universal approval given Governor
 Hughes when he practically told Presi-
 dent Roosevelt to let him alone in New York state. The same people who are for Roosevelt and Roosevelt's policies nationally threw up their hats for the
 man who defied RooseVelt's dtctation
 out of its proper sphere. It is a pret- i ty Seeo demonstration Tn tha- good sense of the American people. The result in Cleveland might have been the same if any other Republican had opposed Johnson. though that is
 not certain. What is certain is that the outcome of the contest was a direct and unmistakable dIsapproval of Roose- velt's dictatorial spirit. so frequently shown by his arrogant interference in matters which do not really concern him. As The Star practically admits. MT. Burton was the administration can didate for Mayor of Cleveland, selected and designated as the man to carry out Roosevelt's policies in Ohio, The im- propriety of President interfering in local affairs was matter of no con sequence to him. He believed that the election of man of his own selection in Cleveland would be vindication and endorsement of the administration in Ohio.
 The people of Cleveland were not favorably impressed by this putting in spirit and showed it in a way not to be misunderstood. As before said, per- haps no man could have defeated John son, but all the same the result is a pronounced slap in the face of Roose- welt. Whether the lesson will do any good is a different matter. He is so bull-headed and conceited that the les son may have no effect on him.
 And the other incident mentioned by The Star Is not less significant. What ever else may be said of Governor Hughes he has shown a very decided determination to be the Governor of New York. On more than one occasion he has very plainly - let it be known that he wants no orders or dictation from even 8 President. The latter ought to be able to see what is so plain to others. The decided defeat of the Parsons Hearst combination, should be another evidence to him that he ought to mind his own business and keep his nose out of affairs that do not come within his province. Perhaps a few more such lessons will penetrate even his over -whelming conceit.

 Washington Special to Baltimore Sun.
 President Roosevelt is deeply con State. se1 His Ills party par there there Is 1 apparently disrupted and without leadership, and he is chagrined over the failure of the Taft boom" to make any progress in that section of the country.
 MT. Roosevelt will henceforth devote close attention to New York politics in an effort to secure control over the delegation which that State will send to the Republican convention of 1908. His opponents assert that he has in- terfered in New York politics too rre- quently in the past and that the con- dition of the Republican party in that result of Presidential meddIing with home affairs.
 A vigorous struggle is expected be- tS tween ht the Man ia the White supremacy in New York. President Roosevelt and Governor Hughes are evident opponents politically and in- in the fight for the delegation.
 John A. Stewart and James B. Key holds were at the White House today and had a long talk with the President MT. Stewart Is President of the New York League of Republican Clubs and MT. Reynolds Is one of the President's closest advisers. It was Mr. Reynolds who was chosen by President Roosevelt to make the investigation of the Chi cago packing houses, which resulted in the adoption of the new meat in- spection" system.
 Chaidman Stewart some time ago un- dertook to ascertain the attitude of New York Republicans toward the nomination for the Presidency. He sent circular letters to prominent men throughout New York asking them to state their attitude toward a third term for President Roosevelt, and he is now trying to ascertain the senti- ment of the Republican league clubs nomina tion.
 Through Timothy L. Woodruff an ef- fort will be made to give the strength Committee to President Roosevelt, and an effort will be made to bring the Re- publican League clubs into line.
