WITH THE EDITORS
New Printing Trust.

1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Yountz,
The accomplished agent of William B.
Burford of Indianapolis could not have
been brought TO trial. For years 1t
has been charged that crooiedness has
cut large figure in the sale of sta
tionery supplies to the counties OF the
state and when Yountz was arrested
the public trusted that a loose end had
at last been secured by which the
whole ugly fabric could be unravel-
ed. 1t appears, however, that the peo-
pie. are not going to have a revelation
after all unless the supreme court sees
fit to overrule Judge O'Rourke. This
fact is especially regrettable, as the
character of the case made 1t desir-
able that it be sifted to the bottom.
For too long a time there have been
ugly snsinuations and intimations con-
corning the public stationery supply
business in Indiana and any proseeu-
tion calculated to shed light upon it
deserved all promotion 1t is great
pity that the prosecuting attorney OF
Wells county is not a more efficient
man, granting, of course, that Judge
O'Rourke's decision is a sound one

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, April 4.-Despite the con-
troversy between the White House and
Hartman it does not seem to have any
material effect upon the prices of
stocks in which Mr.. Harrison is large
~ interested. On the contrary, Union
Pacific and Southern Pacific were
taken in hand today and bid up Wig
erously. Eeach issue showed a gain
Of nearly four points for the day. There
were no new developments upon the
general situation to cause the excep-
tional strength throughout the mar
ket with the exception OF the ease in
the money market and the belief be-
coming more general that the bear
party oversold themselves during the
late unpleasa ntness. Furthermore, I'M
derlying conditions are not as bad as
they have been reported.
The Atchison company increased It's
dividend late yesterday afternoon, plac-
ing the stock upon a 6 per cent divi-
dend basis. This did not have any
great strengthening effect on the At
Gibson shares, partly because it was
generally expected and had been dis
counted by the rise of six or seven
points in the price of the shares dur
out that this increase in the dividend
was rather ill-timed in view Of the
labor strife and demand for increases
in wages by the employees of the COM
pany.
The entire market was strong and
buoyant throughout the session. Chief
among the strong features were the
two Hill roads, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern. Both of these stocks
scored gains of about six points re-
spectively. The buying was of a very
excellent character. some of it be-
ing of the investment order. In ad-
dition shorts helped the market along
by scrambling over each other to get
in out of the wet.
st. Paul, Shelters, Pennsylvania
New York Central, Copper Brooklyn
Rapid Transit. Erie and the balance
of the list all shared in the general
uplifting of prices. The higher priced
shares showed gains ranging from one
to three points while the minor ones
scored a rally of about a point. Indi-
cations point to still further advances
in the active list.

PROUD THOUGH JEALOUS.

Lake county is proud of having pro-
duced John E. Traeger, who in spite
of the discredit that attended his tick
ct through the hackers of it's head, won
a distinguished victory in Chicago.
That the neighbor city will be given
an able administration of the affairs
of the city treasurership seems reason
ably certain If what his friends have
to say for him is anywhere near cor
rect.
Lake county is comparatively new
and as yet its sons are seldom heard
from outside of it's own precincts. It
has raised its quota however, OF sue
cessful men, most of whom have for
tunately chosen to remain within the
borders of the county in which they
were reared. While Lake county is
proud to have it's products do 1t credit
in outside places, 1t is also hugely
jealous of it's own for it feels that it
holds careers for every man and boy
1T possesses who embodies possibilities.
1t is not necessarily to the greatest
credit of a community that its great
men are scattered broadcast through
out the land. 1t is better that of
course, than that a community should
produce no great. In the case of Lake
county it should be many years before
celebrities who claim 1t as the place of
their nativity should crop out through
the country at large. Lake county. the
Calumet region in particular, has a
school of its own for success in those
who embody the gifts of the chosen,
which latter history proves have and
ever will be few. 1t needs both the
brain and the Drawn of its mighty ones
TO guide and strengthen it through the
formative decades through which it
must pass before 1t can spare its gen.
Cos to the outside world.

A JEROME ESTIMATE.

District Attorney Jerome may be a
brilliant lawyer. yet the public is
pretty we'll convinced that one less
spectacular and more evenly balanced
could have conducted the Thaw case
to a conviction. Had he steadfastly
maintained that Thaw's insane jeal-
ousy and use of narcotics caused the
tragedy. it is reasonable to suppose
that he could at least have secured a
drawn jury, with excellent prospects
of a conviction at a second trial, when
the maudlin sentimentalism caused by
the weird fish stories OF the fair Eve

ton of the May option and a growing
belief that the bug damage has been
greatly exaggerated played havoc with
the bulls in the wheat pit today. Prices
eased off a full cent with a feeble rally

The announcement from the treas
ury department of the plan for re-
firing the per cent governments ex-
piring July 1 will further release large
sums of government money, and the
refunding of s50,000.00O of these bonds
by the issue of an equal amount of
two per cent bonds will permit the en-
largement of the national bank cur
rency to an equivalent amount, will as
before noted in these advices, treas

and the retirement OF these AS will
add in excess of s100,o0o,000 to the
resources of the banks by July 1, as
compared with the date when the new
secretary of the treasury took office.
The result has already been noted in
much easier time money rates, and
in a still more satisfactory way in the
recent inquiry for high class invest
ment bonds.

1t was officially stated after the
meeting today of the directors OF the
Atchison company that it is not the
custom of the company to announce
the dividends on its common stock as
a semi-annual disbursement. 1t was
explained, however, that these dis
bursements are ordered out of the net
earnings for period of six months
and it is understood that the annual
rate may be taken as double the divi-
dend for six months 1t was clearly
intimated after today's meeting by a
prominent representative of the COM
pany that the directors would not or
der the payment Of the higher rate I'M
less they were confident that it could
be maintained. They demand per
cent semi-annual.
