AS the Comstocks dropped yesterday,
the Goldfelds advanced. Support was
shifted during the session of the min
ing exchange. and the Comstock is
sues. which have been carried upward
by heavy buying, were largely neglect
ed and fell abruptly. while the new
strength given TO the Golddeld issues
sent prices to higher notches than have
prevailed for two weeks. Early In the
day orders began to come in from New
York and We're taken as an indication
that interests close to the inside In
Consolidated were again in the mar
ket. The New York buying had been
suspended to great extent, and it was
the withdrawal of this support that
sent prices down during the month OF
February.
The Goldields responded sharply to
the eastern buying and prices at the
opening were several points higher.
Consolidated opened five numbers up
at $3.50. and quickly advanced TO $5.
After momentary setback the upward
movement began again, and the stock
closed strong at S5.0755. Florence ad-
yanced step by step with Consolidated.
and closed with an advance of. 32h
points. 1t was 715 numbers higher at
the opening at s4.15, and was bid up
to s4.25. AT this point the stock Jumped

After starting the gasoline. engine

Gualco, an Italian fisherman, settled
down in the cockpit of his boat for a
little nap. He was awakened by a jar
and the crashing OF glass. Morpheus
had proved a poor steersman and had
headed the Nsioop into the Crowley

side the schooner Invincible, anchored
in Mission bay. The jar that aroused
the fisherman broke all the windows in

As The Chattanooga Times looks at 1t. the sentence of General stosssei
 will carry conviction nowhere except among the tinseled aristccraey of the court which vainiy lIuaginss that the sentence will show to the world what heroic lighters and dare-deviIs we are.' and how regardless of life when, king and honor are at stake The senti- ment of the balance of the world will generally be that the courtmartial is a fraud" In this country the idea of eondemning commanding ofncer to death for losing an important position to the enemy Is abhorrent. There was no eyidencee of either treason or cow ardice. so far as we remember. but he gave up Port Arthur because he could hold it no longer, just as brave and true officers have lost important post. tions before. But Russia felt humil- lated at being beaten by Japan and proposes to make stoessel the scape. goat. If the death sentence is carried cut, it will disgrace Russia--but that is nothing new.

A Dangerous Innovntlonn.. :.

Lafayette Sun.
 While state officials have the un- doubted right to exercise their per- sonal preferences in voting for the candidates in the various oflcessin the approaching primary, the eternal ,fit- ness of things demands that they re- ffain from using their official posi- tions to publicly advocate the election of any one particular candidate, as against all the other worthy democrat ic aspirants for one of the most i'm portapt ofiices to be filled at the next election. It is being charged In the newspapers and openly asserted in pol- itica1 circles, that two of our highest state officials, In private conversation, by correspondence and in newspaper in- election to the supreme bench of the he state of candidate who in the recent sessions of the legislative was their champion, and the uncompromising be the fact the reason for their partiai- lty is patent. If these statements are true. 1t is the duty of the press to at tack. not the candidate so favored. but the conduct of the officials as repre- hensibie because 1t tends towards pack Ing the Supreme Court and strikes a death blow at the independence of the enacted laws emphasize the importanca of an unbiased and conservative Su preme Court as a protection against needless. vicious and unconstitutional legislation. If these public officers are using the influence incident to their high positions for the purposes mentioned, 1t is pernlcious partisan ship. a fragrant violation of official proprietry and breaks down the pre- cedent heretofore scrupulously obsery- cd by every Governor of Alabama since it's admission into the Union. If we e g1afataE0r Iaa la over the state will resent the danger ous innovation and the people them selves will rebuke the attempted dicta tion. Perhaps. if the newspapers, if they find the charges true, will fear iassiy denounce the unseemly want of official decorunl, 6 decent respect for the opinions of their constituents may cause the offending parties to here. after pursue a wise course of mas terly inactivity so commendable under the circumstances.
