PANICs MADE TO ORDER

A hint of how panics are made
to order is contained in Henry
Clew's latest financial letter, under
date of September II, in which this
eminent financial leader says:
"The most disturbing feature in
the political situation. All indi-
cations point to liber al democratic
gains in November. and possibly a
democratic congress after the mex
session. The present strong drift
tow ard radicalism is not much
relished in financial circles,
especially as there is every
prospect of more or Jess radical
legislation when members elected
next November take their seats.
Perhaps sharp outlook should
be kept upon the political horizon,
for squalls are not improbable.
Not infrequently the politicians
consider it good tactics to create
d scare; and there have been
operators in the market quite will
ing to encourage such an OPP
portunity for the purpose of pick
ing up cheap stocks. Some of our
diff culties are being taken alto.
gether too seriouly."
But, strangely, the stock market
took jump upward following the
Maine election, at which the demo-
Gratis won sweeping victory, and
the republican press after eplaining
that the victory as not a victory
for democracy and an endorsement
Of its position on the tariff, but
due to fractional fighting in the
republican ranks was hard put to
it to endeavor to make it appear
that Wall street is with" the
democratic party. After all along
shouting that a democratic victory
would mean the paralyzing of
business. a democratic victory
follow ed by rising stock market
has rather taken the wind out of
their sails. Since the Roosevelt
panic of 1907 the republican party
has not been in a very good
position to claim to be the party of
prosperity.
Mr.. Clews confirms what has long
been believed by many people,
viz. that Wall street is not above
precipitating a panic, or attempt
ing to dc 80 at any time, or under
any party, when there is ultimate
profit for Wall street in so doing.
When knowlegdge Of the manner
in which panics are made to order
by the financial sharks of the
metropolis becomes more general
the wall street scare" will have
lost its potency. Humboldt Star.

TELEGRAPH REDUCTIONS

On December 18, 1908, the
Railroad Commission of Nevada
cited the Western Union T telegraph
Company to appear and show cause
why its rates charged for the
intra-state telegraph service in
Nevada should not be reduced.
The Company appeared before
the commission on April LIST, 1910,
being represented by Mr.. A. H.
May, superintendent of the Pacific
Division of the Company. After
the hearing the care was submitted
to the commission for final con-
sideration.
After an exhaustive investigation
the commission entered an order
on August 16, 1910, reducing the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany's rates on all messages here
tofore charged at a rate, on day
messages, of 40 cents for the first
ten words and Scents for each
additional word to 35 cents for the
first ten words and 2 cents for
each additional word and on night
messages q reduction from 80 and
2 cents to 25 and 2 cents.
Further, where the rate was
heretofore so and 3 cents on a day
message, the anne has been reduced
to 40 and 8 cents, and on night
messages reduction from 40 and
3 cents to 80 and 2 cents.
Further, on all messages trans
mitted within a radius of 200
miles maximum rate of Is and 2
cents for day service and 25 and /
for night service has been pre-
scribed and all of the above rates
became effective September 20,
1910.
Taking 20 word messages as an
average the following comparative
examples will indicate the effect
of the reductions between points
in Nevada.
A day message of 20 words from
Carson City or Reno to Winnemuca
where the charge as formerly 70
cents, 1t is row only As cents or a
cut of 35 per cent. A day message
from Carson City or Reno to
Eureka, Elko, Wells. Cobre and
Tecoma. where the charge was
formerly 80 cents it is now 70 cents
or cut Of 12a per cent.
A day message from Carson City
or Reno to Tonopah or Goldfield
where the charge was formerly 10
cents, it is now only So cents or a
cut of 21h per cent.
Further. the night service is to
be maintained under the new rate 8
which offers to business men and
other very economical letter
service.
Also the commission found in It's
investigation that the rates be-
tween Carson City and Reno and
other Nevada points and Ely were
exorbitant and unreasonable by
reason Of the fact that the Western
Union Telegrph Comply did not
operate beyond Cobre, while FIR ON
Cobre to Ely the business was
transmitted, over an Independent
line owned and operated by the
Nevada Northern Railway, thus
resulting IN q combination of local
or double charges at Cobre. This
matter was taken up with the
Western Union Telegraph Com
pany and the Nevada Northern
Railway and by negotiation the
commission has succeeded in
having the Western Union take
sover, on an operating basis, the
aid Nevada Northern telegraph

along the Hudson with her cargo OF

tiller, between glances at the compass
and the chart, watched the silver rib

placid lake of Tappan Zee, contracting
to a thread between Peekskill and West
Point, and lost altogether in a sheet OF
rain that roared down across Pough-

Carson was still silent, as he avoided

decks of the night boats, gained its
rear, crossed the Hudson in a slow
drizzle at Kingston and stood north

towering clouds. vivid with incessan'

"Why .dost circle about like a sand
hill crane?" said Craighead. why
don't you 'light?'
Like the sand-hill crane replied
Carson, I'm afraid. Where can we
alight?''
"Gad!' said Craighead, II never
thought of that! New York has al

that the idea of there being any diff
Guilty in getting into her embrace
never entered my brain. We are a
little shy of knowledge of how to get
in from above, aren't we?"

Carson.

head. THE ground has always seemed
adequate as a way in before. Can't
you follow the crowd?'
There's not an airship to be SEEM"
said Carson. They've been driven in
by the night and the weather. Is it
safe to drop into any harbor We may
happen to flnd?"
what else are we to do?' cried
Craighead. Its coming on to storm;

moon, which, nearly full, was climbing

to the south and east would escape the
storm for hours. To the northwest

with lightning. C%raighead, complain
ingly asserting to his companions
plan of retreat from Manhattan until
day, expected Theodore to turn the
Virginia from foul weather to some far
New Jersey village; and was astonished
when he entered upon a swift fight up
the Hudson, which lay shining in the
moonlight. laced with the wakes of
boats. Far ahead, on both sides, quiv-
cred the lightning of the storm; and
from afar came the rumbling OF
thunder. Carson seemed to be seeking
