DUN's REVIEW.

New York, Feb. 6.-The dullnes.
Iof retail trade Is somewhat more pro-
nounced than usual at this season
and distribution in wholesale lines
continues considerably restricted. Flu
ture orders in most lines are still
placed with great caution, but conf
dence in the future is stronger.
Conditions in iron and steel con-
tinue disappointing. Leading inter
est still maintains the established
quotations, yet price cutting is gen.
eral in several lines, and even with
this new business Is slow in develop
ling.
In the primary market for dry
goods the feature of Importance Is
the increasing evidence OF shortness
of stocks in jobbers' hands, supplies
in the west especially having been
reduced to minimum. The market
for bleached goods is only moder-
ately active, but ginghams show an
improvement, especially in southern
lines of staples.
There has been a very general
opening OF the higher grades Of fancy
worsted in the mems wear market
this week. and clothing buyers are
showing increased interest and ac-
Itivity.
The prices for footwear are firm,
at advanced rates. The demand by
visiting buyers in the aggregate con-
tinues disappointing.

THE HUNGRY MINORITY.

President Roosevelt's action in
vetoing the thirteenth census bill on
account OF its "spoils" feature, is In
harmony with his record as a civil
service man. AS a member of the
civil service commission he inaugu-
rated a practical civil service policy,
which President Mckinley observed
and which Mr.. Roosevelt has extended
until 206,637 employees are compre-
hended by the competitive examina-
ton plan, while hundred thousand
more must stand examinations.
Reports OF the census bureau
frankly show that millions of dollars
were wasted in taking the twelfth
census. because of the "spoils system
in vogue. Use employees were par
celled according to states and congress
sional districts. As a senseless sop
TO civil service reformers an examina-
ton is provided in the bill. but it is
not competitive. Party lines are
thrown down so that Democrats are
let in on the division of the ."spoils. d
The reason for this is palpable. Re
publican spoilsmen knew the presi
dent would veto the bill, and il the
Democrats had nothing to lose they
would stand by the president, sustain
his veto. and. not only lose to the
Republicans their "spoils", but dis
credit them in the eyes of the coun-
try.
We do not anticipate any moral
preaching by the Democratic con-
gressmen about this iniquituous
measure. They will get their share
of the spoils, and the minority is al
ways hungry. 1t is virtuously indig-
nant at the rapacity of the majority,
when its own hunger goes unsatis-
fed.
We fear the census bill will pass
over the presidents veto, but the
country is informed on the subject
and the congressman will have to
answer to more than the Office seek
ers In their respective districts.

THE LAST WORD.

"It had been the intention of the

ership controversy to drop with the
parting comment of "Wednesday MORN
ing, and this intention would have
been carried out to the letter but for
the spirit which seems to dwell in
the heart of the evening organ, to
keep the matter open. Since 1t will
not allow the matter to rest. even af-
ter the action taken by the alderman
ic board, a few pertinent comments
will not, 1t seems TO us, be out of
place" Observation-Disclosures the News

Long Lived Trees.

Brazilian cocoanut palms live
from 600 to 700 years, and the
Arabs assert that the date palm
frequently reaches the age of 200
to 800 years, says the Dundee Ad-
vertiser. Wallan's oak, near Pals
ley, Scotland, is known to be over
700 years old, and there are eight
olive trees on the Mount of Olives
near Jerusalem which are known to
have been lourishing in 1899. The
yews at Fountains abbey, York
shire, were old trees when in 1872
the abbey was built, and a redwood
in Mariposa grove, California, is a
manifold centenarian. Baobab trees
of Africa have been computed to be
over 5000 years old, and the decid-
nous cypress at Chapultepec is con-
sidered to be of a still greater age.
Humboldt said that the Dracaena
Draco at Orotava, on Tenerife, was
one of the oldest inhabitants Of the
earth.

LAWYER
PRESCRIPTIONS.
Hsasons Why They Are Written In
Latin by Physicians.

eS' " '"JS'S'e'"
81 don't see," said the man who
was leaning against the drug store
counter, "why a doctor can't write
his prescription in English instead
of Latin"
The druggist said: "You think, l
suppose, that the doctor writes his
prescriptions in Latin so it can't be
read so easily-so the layman can't
steal his trade and learn what he is
giving him. But that's wrong. In
the first place, Latin is a more exact
and concise language than English
and, being a dead language, does not
change, as all living languages do.
"Then, again, since a very large
part of all the drugs in use are
botanical, they have in the pharma-
copoeia the same names that they
have in botany-the scientific
names. T%wo-thirds of such drugs
haven't any English names and so
couldn't be written in English.
"But suppose a doctor did write
a prescription in English for an un-
educated patient. The patient reads
it, thinks he remembers it, and so
tries to get it filled from memory
the second time. Suppose, for in
stance, it calls for iodide of potas-
stun and he gets it confused with
cyanide of potassium. He could
safely take ten grains of the first,
but one grain of the second would
kill him as dead as a mackerel.
That's an exaggerated case, but it
will serve as an illustration. Don't
you see how the Latin is a protec-
ton and a safeguard to the patient?
Prescriptions in Latin he can't read
and consequently doesn't try to re-
member.
"Now for a final reason. Latin
is a language that is used by scien-
tifc men the world over, and no
other language is. You can get
Latin prescriptions filled in any
country on the face of the earth
where there is a drug store. We
had a prescription come in here the
other day which we had put up orig
inally and which had since been
stamped by druggists in London,
Paris, Berlin, Constantinople, Cairo
and Calcutta. What good would an
English prescription be in St. Pc
tersburg ?"-New York Herald.

70 own a ship canal to Joliet whether
she ever got it to New Orleans or not.
Now the state Of Illinois has voted
twenty millions more to carry it from
Joliet toward the Mississippi. Even
when it reaches the big river, how
ever. the work will only be started, for
the great task lies in Strengthening.
deepening and making permanent the
channel of that stream itself. If the
Father of Waters were a well be-
haved. dependable river that would
stay put. matters would be simplified.
but it has habit Of changing its
course overnight, so that its pilots
must learn it all over every trip. This
Is not only hard on the pilots, but on
the boats. which may run on a new
sand bar or sunken log at any mo-
ment. 1t is one thing to dig a ship
canal and another to make it stay dug,
especially if it is in the Mississippi.
Today the channel may be all right,
and tomorrow it may be mile away,
running over somebody's plantation.
Moreover, the river is so big and car
ries such a volume of water that it is
hard to discipline it.
