AND
COMMERCE
Wall Street,

New York. Aug. 12.-The hackers
of the active operations in the stock
market were too much occupied to-
day with their various devices of lead
ership and manipulation to pay much
attention to the news Of the day. The
news indeed offered no radical change
in conditions. Information has been
p|rocurable for several days past ac-
curately outlining the substance Of
Mr.. Bryan'S acceptance OF the demo-
cratic nomination and its publication
about = o'clock supplied nc material
for surprise. Two items of the days
news happened to e|onjoin to effect
unfavorably two groups of security
which have been most conspicuous in
the speculation in the last few days
and this served to emphasize the drop
of the first hour in values. There was
a reaction in the price of copper at
the New York metal exchange after
successive advances of a fraction at a
time for many days past. Copper
warrants in London also We're lower.
This added~Io the feverishness of
shares of companies connected with
the industry which have been in a
high nervous state anyhow ever since
the sensational stage developed in the
Boston speculative campaign in which
they are included. The decline in the
price of silver to a level lower than
has been touched in five years past
is an incidental influence on the group
of mining and metal stocks as a whole.
American Smelling, Amalgamated
Copper and National Lead were vio-
lently affected by the early break in
prices today.
Some of the most conspicuous buy
ing today from the same brokers that
sold most largely yesterday. The re-
action vas regarded as affording a test
of the market and when the upward
movement was resumed speculative
opinion was treasured. The linen
sions Of the market were smaller than
of late. This vas partly due to a
large diversion of speculative Interest
to the cotton market. Closing stocks:

For some reason the C urts are
loath TO allow the Interstate commerce
commission the power conferred upon
it by congress. The law enacted in
1906 gave the commission power to
fix rates. 1t was attempted to attach
a court review clause TO the 1906 law,
by which railroads cou d have the
rate set aside while the case was drag
ed from one court TO another, leaving
the railroads masters of the 81 uta ion
for years, and practically leaving the
commission without any power, at all.
But congress refused to thus cripple
the work of the commi sion and the
review clause was denied. However,
the courts are now giving us another
instanc- of Legislation by injection.
The matter of rates from eastern
points to the missouri river was up
before the commission and an order
made by the commission to reduce
the rate on a certain class of freight
9 cents, and other classes in O D
ton. The roads sought a restraining
order and now step in Judges eros
cup, Seaman, and Baker, of the federal
circuit court of Chicago, granting this
order and preventing the commission
from enforcing It's decision This
court, by this act, simply constitutes
itself II power higher than congress
and virtually sets aside the law and
will of the people of the nation. By
what right do these three men set
aside the workings of this law, and
especially in face or the fact that
congress refused to place in the law
the court review clause. These Judges
are not supposed to possess the ability
to determine what are just rates. We
have a commission appointed for that
purpose, aud supposed to be appoint
ed becau.e of their peculiar fitness
for the place, a fitness not possessed
by the courts. In matters pertaining
to railroad reguI ton it has come that
to pass that any little dinky federal
court assums to have thu power to
set aside the laws of, and by, the peo-
pie, aud render in operative any and
all laws looking oward such regula
tiol. Courts are supposed to decide
matters under the law. and not TO
SIT aside the law.

"MR DoOLEY" ON HAPPINESS.

If Tiddy Rosenfelt finds out tn

way to be happy is to wurruk. May
be that accounts FIR tn onhappiness
among tn farmers. Perhaps they
wud be merryer if some employment
cud be found fir thin, preferably in
tn open air. Some say It's money;
they're poor. Some say It's simple
poverty; they're rich. Hogan says
It's human society; which accounts fl
tn happiness that prevails in all large
cities. Some say selishness will
make We happy. I've thried it. IT
didn't cure me. Other people say
onselfshness; but that's no more thin
to say that We a on'y be happy be

Sioux Falls is just now undergo
ing a series of revival meetings by one
DR. Riley. Instead Of doing hi ad
vertising thro lyh "Rileyisms," or
having his sermons appear in print,
this man do $ it by having printed
large h II tone cuts showing himself
in grac fuI positi ,ns. As a poser. be
is a good one. The Sioux Falls Pes
of tn sdar morning printed Il half
tone occupying orr aud a halt columns
of space, and showing the gentla man
in three striking positions. We lei
ton this as il j. a radical departure
from customs heretofore in vogue.
Tha it is success full is evidenced by
the report that many of the meetings
are attended by rs many as 1000 peo-
pie.
Judge Garland decided against
the city in the Dakota telephone case.
The argument of the deci, ions as re-
ported in the Sioux Falls Press, is
that the Dakota Central has large
sums invested in property, the value
of which would be destroyed in order
to let somebody else build telephone
system. If the court takes cognizance
of the rights of Huron ~citizeus, who
are and have been robbed by extor-
tionate tolls for inadequate service,
there is no hint of the fact in the
Press report. 1t is to be hoped the
council will not submit. Whether an
appeal, in hopes of better luck in a
higher court, or a citizens company,
with every telephone user a stock
holder, would be the better plan is a
matter for immediate consideration

LATER returns ind cate ,he defeat
of the county option law. The de-
feat was well merited. The law was
unfair, and the arguments used to
advance its interests were, in p TT at
least, untrue. We refer to the claim
that the law was for the purpose of
giving all the voters of the county an
opportunity to govern as to the sale
of intoxicating liquors, when the fact
is that the law provided for that vote
to govern only when the vote went
"dry."

Sunday night. The wrecked building
adJoins the Coliseum, where the First
ward ball was to be held Monday NIGHT.
The report of the explosion was
heard for a mile. The congregations
OF Grace Episcopal church and Wabash
Avenue Methodist Episcopal church
and guests of nearby hotels rushed TO
the streets in a panic. A two-story
frame building at 1913 Wabash avenue.
which adjoins the south wall of the
Coliseum annex, Immediately collapsed
and took fire.
The fire leaped across an areaway
and spread to another frame building
which was also wrecked. Crowds of
excited people, believing that the Coli
scum had been blown up, rushed to the
scene. The fremen and policemen be-
gan searching among the debris in the
belief that people were in the building.
1t was reported that two men had
entered one of the buildings a short
time before. That the bomb was in.
tended for the Coliseum the police ex-
press little doubt.
One theory is that the bomb was
as another factor of the "gam-
blers' war, - which has been marked by
the throwing of a number of bombs in
the vicinity of alleged gambling houses
or resorts. The 9th explosion in that
section occurred a few weeks ago.
1t was at first believed that several
persons were killed by the crash, as a
were in the vicinity at the
time. Careful search of the debris by
policemen and iremen, however, failed
to reveal any bodies.
