NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, March 2e.-The governors
of the stock exchange decided to keep
open today and close tomorrow. Quite
a few of the traders were of the opin-
ion that the market would remain dull
and stagnant on account of some of
the larger professionals being out Of
the city. This was not the case, how
ever, prices showed remarkable gains
in several quarters. Canadian Pacific
had a sensational rally of thirteen
points for the day. opening at 167 and
finally closing at 1921.
That a rally In the market generally
was expected by some close observers
was sure to come but they did not
expect such a rapid recovery IN one
day. The newspapers and financial
writer's this morning had bear stories
on the situation both industrially and
financially, several of them arguing for
still further declines in the stock mar
ket on account of the general re-
trenchment in business. AS a rule
when the country becomes unanimous
ly arrayed upon one side of the ques-
tion the turning point is close at hand.
Union Pacific, st. Paul, Copper, Smelt-
ers, Reading and every active stock
upon the list shares in the advancing
tendency of the market. The rallies
extended from one to five points in the
higher priced railroad shares and one
to three in the lower ones. Shorts
were good buyers throughout the ses-
sion; in addition to this call loans rul-
ed moderately steady at A per cent
which induced considerable buying of
the investment order.
The market upon the whole closed
strong and buoyant with the indica-
tions pointing strongly to further ad-
vances next week.

MAY THE BEST WIN.

The mayoralty campaign in Chicago
has resolved itself into war to the
death between the Chicago Tribune
and the Hearst papers. Busse and
Dunno and the tickets they head have
become mere incidents in the situation.
The election of either candidate
means tremendous victory for some
body. But that somebody is not
the republican nor the democratic
party-not Mr.. Dunno nor Mr.. Busse,
but the Chicago Tribune or the Amer
lean and Examiner and the powers
whose mouthpieces they are.
Each of these papers has trained
its biggest and most powerful guns
onto the ranks of the enemy. The
Tribune has called Its Raymond from
washington and it's McCutcheon into
the van, and Hearst himself has come
into camp from New York with his
Brisbane. his opper, his Tom Powers
and others trailing at his heels to
fight for the supremacy of William
Randolph Hearst.
The great Raymond of the Tribune
seldom stoops to city politics, but since
city politics has become a battle royal
with the city political part of it only
q significance that is worthy even of a
Raymond's steel.
AS rejecting the earnestness with
which the Tribune is engaged in this
campaign, it may be noted also that
McCutcheon's cartoons have changed
their complexion utterly since the war
became the most furious from nom
partisan humor without a sting, to
partisan humor in which the sting pre-
dominates to such an extent that the
humor is sometimes lost sight of. And
all In the name of the cause that spells
might or political oblivion to William
Randolph Hearst.
The fight means more to Hearst than
to the Tribune. If Heart wins, 1t will
rehabilitate him in New York politics
in which at present he Is a discredited
factor, as we'll as establish his die
tatorship in San Francisco politics. If
he loses it will be a death blow so far
as his political influence is concerned
and his personal ambitions obtain. If
the Tribune wins 1t viii be merely the
reaf1rmation of its power as a moulder
of public opinion and If 1t loses 1t will
necessitate the acknowledgement that
Hearst Is more powerful than his en-
emy. There may be personal ambitions
involved in the Tribune's war. but if
so they are not on the surface and are
not the matter of life and death that
they are in the Hearst campaign.
The Tribune, on it's side, should have
somewhat the best OF the argument
in that it is home paper run by home
people, while the American and Exam
iner are dominated by the rank out
slider. The Tribune, moreover, has the
support in a sense OF the Chronicle, the
Inter-Ooean and the Record-Herald
which, however, can scarcely be reck-
oned on as so important as at first
blush it would appear. They are In
the present instance mere trailers in
the wake of the real dominating spirit
of the Busse-anti-Hearst campaign, the
Chicago Tribune.
Aside from the political phase in the
situation, and leaving Busse and Dunno
out Of it, THE LAKE COUNTY TIMES, as
a newspaper with fellow feeling for
other newspapers, says in all sincerity
May the best win"

Dragged From Obscurity.

Even poor old Clara Morris has been
dragged from her obscurity and pro-
vided with a meal ticket from the ia
nous Thaw defense fund. The aged
actress publishes over her own name
an alleged interview with Evelyn, so
thoroughly characterized by senile
hysteria that it excites more of pity
than amusement. Poor old Clara! She
has fallen upon hard and degenerate
days, indeed, when she lends a once cell
ebrated name to an attempt to exalt
the character of a strumpet and con-
done the crime of a guilty murderer.

While Secretary Wilson desires the ser

HEARD ON THE BOURSE.

The course of the market yesterday
developed the presence of active opera
tions working for decline and these
forces were materially added to by the
liquidation OF stocks previously bought
to sustain the market, and also of
accounts awaiting advances upon which
to sell. Notwithstanding favorable
turn for the better in the money mar
ket and much more optimistic feeling
abroad. there is apparently no unity of
purpose among American financial in
terests regarding stock market oper-
ations.
