/ come from sources pure enough,
From fountains sweet and ferny;
But heavens, what lot of stun
/ gather in my journey!
/ go from places clean and sweet
To places evil smelling.
And fresh contamination find
Where man has made a dwelling.
Collecting, every mile flow.
The germs Of every fever;
For men may come and men may go,
But / go on forever.
I slip, l glide by sewer and drain,
And by the pulp mills sluices,
And gather in my liquid train
A myriad reeky juices
l chatter by the canning works,
Where blooms the piccalilli;
/ loiter in lagoons where turks
A. legion Of baeilli.
I draw them all along, and flow
with germs Of every fever;
For men may come and men may go,
But / go on forever.

deIphia and Chicago have been worked
to the limit. There is an enormous
value, increasing as the city grows
in the use of the streets, and the corpora
tions which have secured franchises have
rivaled our mints in the coming of money
Many of these franchises have been Sc
cured by corrupting the city councils,
nearly all of our large cities having suf
fered more or less from the boodler and
the CRATER. Municipal ownership and
operation of municipal franchises offer
the surest remedy, and the cities are all
gravitating toward this. However, unth
public sentiment is ready for this remedy.
increasing safeguards should be thrown
about the granting of franchises.
First-The term should be made as short
as possible. 1t is criminal folly to grant

1t was wise old Solomon who was
forced to admit, we believe, that there
were four things which passed his COM
prehension: The way of an eagle in
the air, the way of a serpent upon a
rock, the way of ship in the midst of
the sea, and the way of a man with a
maid. If Solomon could come to Cali
fornia he might add a fifth perplexity-
the way of some of our courts.

The anti-rent demonstrations in New
York and the socialist uprising in Ger
many are two strong indications of the
spirit of popular unrest which pervades
each country. While there may be some
intemperance in the demands of both
the residents of New Yorks east side
and the socialists, of Germany, both
have certain rights which must be con-
ceded in time.

COMMENT ON MARKET.

G, Bowie Chapman, Of Z. F. Hut.oa K
! Moderate profit taking was in evil
/ dence to-day. also a cessation Of bullsa
manipulation which resulted in normal
/ setbacks in most OF the standard issues.
/ though at no time was there what could
/ be called heavy selling or extreme weak
/ ness. The market was given what might
/ be termed a breathing spell after a con-
tinued rise Of several days. Traders were
/ not inclined 10 take any particular stand
/ in view of the somewhat narrow market
/ movements. News Of further attacks By
! the government IN corporations was IN
! settling but the market did not respond
/ to these rumors to suit the professionals,
while to offset this bearish news was the
probability that the Bank Of England
would reduce its discount rate 20 5 per
cent tomorrow. Sentiment in Wall street
seemed to be about evenly divided on the
future course of the market. and short
selling iG the forenoon was followed By
some short covering in the late dealings.
Reading seemed TO have distinct support
as the dividend had given some color to
reports that Morgan interests proposed
! to put stocks higher. There was little If
anything encouraging to report in the
I industrial world.
Benjamin Woodruff, Of Post G. FIagg-
THE market held strong to-day, especial
~ when one considers that we have had
nothing but upward prices for over two
weeks. At one time to-day It looked as
If we might get moderate setback but
toward theeclose prices rallied sharply
no col al
more conservative and many undoubtedly
sold stocks in anticipation Of the end
Of the upward swing. but these persons
turned buyers again In the afternoon.
Conditions In the loan crowd stu indl-
cate the existence of a considerable short
interest, and while the state Of affairs
continues there is little doubt that, with
easy money, advances can be engineered
in first one stock and then another. Re-
ports of general business continue poor
from all parts of the country. and this
must tell in the long run. but just now
the all-absorbing factor is the certainty
Of easy money"
George l. Edmunds, Of Miller & Co
Price movements during the first hour
were mixed, and changes in that period
were irregular and without Importance.
Traders, as a rule, were distinctly bearish.
It was estimated that an exchange place
house, which has been identified with the
bear position most Of 1907. sold $1,000
shares on balance. The ease with which
these were absorbed can safely be char
acterized as marvellous. One of the fea-
lures about noon was the selling Of
Southern Railway, which was said to be
for European account. Stocks are not
only low, but what Is more important !
they are cheap. The short interest is |
large. and it is my opinion the semi-pro- |
fessional element who allow their opera
tons at present TO be guided by old pre- |
cedents or rules. viii, in all probability. |

The pianen,olooo.

This singular name is given by the
inventor. Eduardo Torres y Quevedo. a
Spaniard, to an apparatus Intended TO
take the place Of stenography in re
porting speeches. The apparatus.
which consists simply OF series OF
little bells. requires the cooperation
OF eight or ten writer's. Each writer
takes a single phrase from the speak
er's mouth. At the tlnkle CT n bell on
his left he begins TO write what he
hears The bell on his right arrests
him and sets his neighbor nj work.
BY the time the circuit is made the
first writer is ready for another phrase.
Afterward the phrases. which are mum.
bered IN their order OF taking. are re-
united TO form the entire report. Tried
recently at the Athenee. In Madrid, the
diancmologo gave satisfactory results.

The officials of the Maryland Agricul-

1T is the aim Of the department to
