Banker Clews, in his weekly review of Wall Street and general conditions, reports a waiting tendency in both the stock market and general business. He states that complaints about high costs of living, which originated with the consumer, now come from the producer and distributor. who find the enhanced cost of doing business a se- rious detriment'', and also that "the disposition among consumers to econo- Fnize is certainly checking consump- tion.' But he expects that the cost of living will be reduced by the good crops. This might be true but for the speculators and the trusts
 Mr. Clews does not anticipate any tariff revison during the coming short session of Congress. as all its time will be required to pass the appropriation bills and to transact necessary routine business, and he urges. that ''these should not be delayed in order to af' ford a pretext for forcing the Presi- dent into calling an extra session.. There is, he says, danger of polit- fcal trick of this sort". As neither the President nor his party is probably in any haste for the assembling of the Democratic House. Mir. Clews must be referring to purposeful delays by the Democratic and Progressive members of the present Congress. Surely, Speaker Cannon has still an abundance of power for the expedition of busi- ness in the House. and the point of danger must. therefore. be in the Sen ate. Quite possibly, the people might welcome the extra session which Is deprecated by MT. Clews as promising larger relief from the high cost of liv- ing than can be expected from the good crops
 Of course, the principal object of MT. Clews' solicitude is the stock market, and of that. he says:
 Present conditions suggest fair ac- tivity in the stock market, with mod crate fluctuations in either direction. Trading has unquestionably been checked by recent manipulation, which carried prices quite beyond the views of buyers. A reaction of few points would place the market upon sounder basis and afford some inducement to tions. Much will depend upon Presi- dent Taft's message and the opening of Congress a week hence.

A MODERATE PRO-
 GRESSIVEo?

We do not know how accurately Governor elect Baldwin is reported in an interview published by the New York American, but as the interviewer was James Creelman. the presumption of accuracy obtains. Perhaps the most important feature of the inter view is Judge Baldwin's characteriza- ton of himself as "a moderate Demo- crat, occupying the safe, reasonable course, and as man of the centre, between the conservative and progres- sfve wings of the party. But as ne advocates the extension of our mer- chant marine by permitting the people to buy ships where they can get them cheapest, and as he believes that the obviously unjust" items of the tariff should be changed aS once instead of by single schedules, he must be placed as at least a radical conservative in stead of a centrist pure and simple, for such policies partake strongly of the radical character.
 Judge Baldwin deprecates any rever- sion to ~Bryanism as commonly url- derstood'' as likely to defeat the party in 1912, and it is known that he is opposed to Roosevelt's new national ism" Perhaps the best characteriza- ton of him would be as moderate progressive
 As the interview was devoted wholly to national issues. and as it appears in one of the Hearst newspapers, it is perhaps a legitimate inference that MT. Hearst has undertaken to place all the men thus far mentioned for the Democratic Presidential nomination upon national issues. with a view of determining which one of them. if any. shall receive his support. There are yet Governors Dix of New York, liar mon of Ohio. Foss of Massachusetts, and Wilson of New Jersey to be inter viewed and placed. if such is the Hearst plan.
 Judge Baldwin has placed" himself with considerable clearness. Possibly. the comparatively small importance of Connecticut in Presidential contest may debar him from the list of com petitors, but it is certain that the party could Ego farther and fare worse".

The pension question is not unlikely to come before the next Congress. and attempts will be made to warp it to test of 1912. Commenting upon the matter, Harper's Weekly says:
 Hardly any one questions that pen sions have been shockingly overdone and that our pension system is honey combed with politics and fraud, and that the great extensions have been planned and carried through with too little purpose to afford relief to veter- ans and their dependents who deserve and need 1t, and too much desire to keep up 8 vast expenditure to enrich pension agents. to rivet high protec- tion upon the country, and to hold the old-soldier vote to the Republican party. Pensions this year will cost the people about 157 millions. The laws under which these pensions are paid will stand. To repeal any of them is not suggested. The sums paid out under them will fall off rapidly in the course of the next ten years provided no wholesale new pension legislation is enacted. What is to be done is to induce a critical attitude on the part of Congress and the ad- ministration and all future administra- tions toward pension legislation. It ought to be damned, strong and tight. Further than that. it may be possible, if the inspiration is strong enough, to overhaul the pension list and excise from it the swindlers. of whom there must be an enormous number. No merited pension is grudged, no lawful pension under existing laws, good or bad, is in any danger of attack; but the list might very properly be exam ined, and further reckless legislation should be stopped. The pension-jo job bers doubtless feel that they and their clients have now a vested right in about $15O, GOO 900 of the taxpayers money, and that the rate of increase must march with diminishing num- bers. For that idea they are likely to find plenty of backing, though there Is encouragement in the recollection that the next Pension committee in the House will not be named by Uncle Joa

Naval mutiny is a serious matter, especially when accompanied by bom- bardment of c capital city. Yet. when conditions become unbearable, to what else can sailors resort? Insufficient food, low wages. overwork and the penalty of whipping for breaches of complaint made by the Brazilian sail- ors. should surely suffice to justify their one available and effective method of bringing the matter to the enforced attention of the supreme au- thorities. viz.. mutiny. It is pleasing to record that their action brought an amendment of conditions, and that the mutiny ceased promptly.

Store Six Billion Cubic Feet.
LA CROSSE, Wis, Feb. 5.-Plans
have been announced for completing one
of the largest water power developments
in the United States by the construction
of a dam at the mouth of Rock creek,
on the east fork of Black river. Ii
will provide G,OO7, 0G1 600 cubic feet of
storage to be utilized by means of 81

The new dam will be the third Of a
series constructed by the La Crosse

FOUR ARE INDICTED
BY CHICAGO JURY

gard TO the construction of Section D.

for the removal of "A large quantity of
so-called "shale rock" Upon eXamina-
ton by experts ii was stated that the
rock" was nothing more than hard
clay and offered little obstruction in cX-
cavating.
McGOvcrn was the contractor in
charge of the construction. and was the
man paid for the removal OF the "shale
rock" Bonnell certified that it was
rock. Ericsson approved BUnnClIS dcci-
sion. RedieSke then put his stamp of
approval on the work, and the city paid
the money To McGOyeru.
