when the two-dolar-a-ton rate of the

he said. because the paper mills of Wis

Special Dispatch 10 The Star.
NEW YORK, June 19.-Small transac-

the chief characteristics of the dealings
In securities this morning
The tone of the stock market was. how
ever. fairly steady, although the fuctua-
tions showed some of the same uncertain
tendencies which prevailed throughout

American shares were rather heavy in
ihe London stock market, but very little
was done here for foreign account There
was little OF interest In the news Of the
morning relating to the stock market and
scant interest appeared to be taken In the
outlook for the weekly bank statement.
The weekly reports of the mercantile
agencies upon the state of the country
trade were fairly satisfactory exhlblts.
The dealings developed few points OF IN
terest with the course of the morning 10
In.the railway share list the Southern
railway issues were more prominent
than of late and Atchison and New
York Central were again exceptionally
strong The traction shares were heavy.
Trading in Reduced Volume.
Transactions in the industrial and
miscellaneous issues were also In great
ly reduced volume and the fluctuations
in that quarter were in line with those
noted in the other divisions of the list.
As. usual, the dealings were largest In
the United States Steel shares, Anal
Samated Copper and American Snleit-
ing.
In the last hour of business the mar
iset. developed reactionary tendencies.
but tho declines were not extensive ex-
cept in the case of sugar refining.

Nashville were particularly strong
There was no increase in activity with
the progress of the morning.

BOOST YOUR TOWN

before taking train from my
home station | always buy Il ticket, "
said merchant at one OF our growing
southwest towns. With IA party OF
business friends he was enroute to Il
station some twenty miles away.
VI never bother with IT. for short
trip" replied one Of his companions.
III costs no more To pay on the train
and perhaps the conductor will miss
you and you are That much ahead.
why should we trouble ourselves
about it?"
81 am not preaching on the moral
ity OF your remark" responded the
tirst speaker, but as n representative
OF our town, and similarly, in a place
where l formerly resided, have had
occasion to call upon railroad mana
gers in connection with improvements
desired at the station. | noticed that
they called for the records OF busi-
ness done at station for year or
more, and they, OF course, consider
the amount OF business in connection
with such requests. Once, when we
asked for little improvement In the
waiting room, the manager showed us
monthly reports for year back and
claimed that there was not sufficient
passenger business from the station
TO justify any improvement in the
Accommodations. The figures surely
were small; they showed the ticket
sales only. knew that the actual
travel from our place was much
greater than his figures showed, and
II struck me right there what the
trouble was. Our people did not
bother to buy tickets and the town
did not get the credit for the business
1t actually did. When the committee
returned home we advised every body
of the situation aud all OF the good
people have since bought tickets, thus
securing the credit for our place. And
by the way, we have since got not
only better waiting room, but new
depot"
"Well, that's new one on me"
said the other. Il never thought OF
1t In that way. or course l was jok-
ing about the conductor missing me,
but l am going to tell our folks what
you say, as our little town is on the
grow and we also want it to get the
credit for its own business. La

BROKEN PROMISES

From the Rocky Mountain News:
The broken pledges OF many OF our
state senators and representatives OF
the Seventeenth general assembly,
have verified the old adagc that "pOli-
ties makes strange bedfellows." Both
the Democratic aud Republican par
ties pledged that they would pass u
direct primary law and bank guar
aury bill, Machine politics is the
club that will undoubtedly Kill both
OF these bills and all the other reform
legislation promised.
a new conner the other day asked
the writer who represents OterO
county in the lower house OF the gen
eral assembly. Our answer was that
nobody represents 1t. One Billy
McCaskill MISREPRESENTS our
people. Billy McCaskill and that
"Indian" statesmen, Lubers OF Las
Animas, have pooled their measures
aud have violated the pledges OF the
party and their own prediction
promises to their constituents, and
have done the bidding Of the "intcr-
ests." Billy McCaskill, true to the
interests Of the political boss, hand
in hand with Lubers, voted to pass
the mOnstrosity denOminated the
amended primary law which the SEN
ate sent to the house for approval.
Billy McCaskill came to the north side
OF the river, indeed, went to all parts
of the county during the last politi.
cal campaign, and repeatedly stated
that he stood on the Democratic plat
form and pledged himself to carry out
the promises therein contained. And
when the first opportunity came to do
this he proved himself to have Joined
the Ananias club by doing the con-
trary thing. He was very much like
Esau Of old, who sold his birthright for
a mess of pOttage. A man who Will
promise one thing and do another is
not to be trusted He who promises
to do the right thing, and can do 1t
and be justified by the code of morals,
but chooses to do the contrary thing
instead, with no Justification what
ever for it., stultilles himself and
brings reproach upon the party he
represents. Billy McCaskill ought to
resign his Office. He ought to be
dashed with the whip of public indig-
nation and sent to his political bed in
disgrace. A political hypocrite is as
much to be despised as the religious
bypocrite and both are standing men
aces to all mankind.
