NEW YORK, May In the opening
the market was soft, losing much Of
the snap and strength that it has shown
for some weeks. The standard issues
were offered freely, and there did not
seem to be much interest in the gem
eral list.
1t Is charged that the change in mar
ket sentiment IS almost entirely due 10
the fact that the railroads contemplate
an increase IN freight rates and that
business has been greatly curtailed as
a result. The number Of idle cars at
this time is given as $4,000.
The large amount OF Government de-
posts in the bank IS also cause Of
same uneasiness, as it is understood the
Government Will shortly claim its own.
This is causing some uneasiness on
financial matters.
These are the reasons given by mar
ket observers as a cause Of the changed
sentiment
AS a matter of fact, increased rates
of freight should not check business
materially, and the iIle cars are prob
ably more due 10 IA general business
condition rather than the business con-
dition being due TO anticipated rates, on
a higher basis
Perhaps the chief reason for the let
up yesterday and the weak opening
this morning was the absence Of shorts

no STRUGGLING

StraggIers and the faint hearted
of an army in time of action have
no part IN the victory only the
loyal and the brave feel the Joyous
tlnglc OF success, or the conscious
ness of having done their duty
even should defeat Overtake them.
We are now on the threshold of a
great battle; not one of sangui.
nary nature, but of principles and
political reform, upon which AS
much depends as upon many Il
battle waged for human indepen-
dence. 1t is Il contest to decide
whether our government shall be
administered, as was intended it
should he, in the interest of the
people, with all that the word
people implies, or shall it be ad
ministered in the interest Of
favored classes, of what has come
to be known as the System, of
swollen fortunes and commercial
and industrial monopolies. The
Democratic party stands for the
first; the Republican party, meas.
ured by its record, stands for the
latter.
Then, what is the duty of every
loyal Democrat 1t is to stand up
in line, elbow to elbow, and fight
for what he believes. The ticket
may not suit him in some minor
particular; he may think that
some other man would have been
better in certain place on that
ticket, and perhaps he may be
right in so thinking; but the
ticket represents as a whole the
organization, and the organization
represents the principles aud the
policies for which he and his party
stand. The line of battle has been
formed and it cannot be changed.
To stand firm and contend as LOYAL
Democrats for the principles of the
party is to insure the final triumph
of those principles. To desert it
is to weaken the line, give comfort
to the enemy and probably con-
tribute to its defeat What would
you gain by that-the defeat of !
the many good men and true on
your ticket, because there might be |
a few among them who do not
come up to your standard of what
they should BET You must stand
by the organization of
your party il you would have the
principles and policies for which it
contends established in law. mol

From the insistent way that the
Republicans declared that Mr.. Had
ley was the most popular man in
the State in their party, practically
admitting that he was the only
man to place at the head of their
ticket with any chance of winning,
one might have supposed that he
would lead all the rest in the pri-
mary, but such was not the case.
Mr., Hadley received 159, 105 votes,
while Secretary of State Swanger

more votes than Mr.. Hadley. Mr.

A Texas physician says that it
is impossible to over-eat. This,
of course, applies to Texas,where
the rule is to drink twice as much
as you eat.--Augusta, Ga, He
iald.
That's an unjust reflection on
Texas. While it may be true
that the State is overrun with
red-headed widows, able-bodied
cyclones and festive boil weevils,
it comes much nearer having
something akin to prohibition
than the so-called prohibition
State of Georgia.
