Finances and Markets
4SSOciGted PrcsS DiSbntchl


 NEW YORK. April 25.-Trading was characterized today by relative backwardness in the leading issues but this was largely offset by further activity in higher prices for many specialties. Reading was about the only speculative favorite to show more than a fair degree of strength and animation, selling up to 170H the highest price since 1910. Buying of this stock was doubtless founded on something more substantial than the virtual settlement of the anthra- cite strike. Over a score of issues. embracing industrial equipment anI metal or copper shares. took part in the days movement, the foremost be- ing American Can. The final hour was marked by a revival of activity. in which Reading. Lehigh and Ameri can Can carried higher prices Strength was shown by sucn real market factors as Union Pacific and Steel and profit taking made jess than the usual impression. Prices at the closing were mainly within frac- tions of the top. Bonds were irregu- lar. Total sales were two millions United States bonds were unchanged

a third-no, a fourth-cup of candi- datOrial coffee. he may take it with clear conscience. He has never said anything about consecutive candi- dacies In fact he has never said any thing that would lead any reasonable person to believe he would reject the nomination if it were offered him. Almost anybody would believe Mir Bryan is perfectly willing to try once more. It is not supposable that, with the presidential habit strong upon him, he is going to do anything to scare the nomination away if it hap pens to come in his direction No indeed he would not be MT Bryan if he did.
 And why shouldn't Mir. Bryan run if he feels so inclined? There is no unwritten law or any other kind of law against it. If the democrats want to nominate bim-and there are plen- ty of democrats who would like to do that very thing-repubhcan generally will feel grateful to them if they will do it IL would add much to the in terest of the situation and the result would go a long way toward putting an end to the peculiar kind of pOliti- cal doctrine that Mir. Bryan and a good many other democratic leaders hold
 And then the nomination of MT. Bryan would be something of a nov city. It was regarded as rather unique when he got third nomination; but a fourth-well it can only be hoped that the democratic brethren will rise nobly to their duty and put him in the lists again.
 There is a strange fatuity about Bryan. His inordinate vanity permits him to see only the best side of every situation where his own interests are concerned. Tbere is little doubt he believes he could be elected. He be-
 lieved the same thing in 1908, in 1900 and in 1896. After each successive defeat he came up confident and smil- ing. He seems utterly unable to com prehend the fact that an enormous majority of the American people are utterly out of sympathy with his revo- lutionary notions. He is one of the few men in public life who never learns.
 For these and various other reasons the news dispatch, noted above. con- veys no surprise And if the Balti- more convention takes an insane mo- ton to nominate the sage from Lin- coin it need not fear that the said sage will offer any great resistance.

The Vanishing Japa1ese Specter.

The dreaded yellow peril' which has been the genesis of Congressman Hobson's continuous nightmare, and caused many other timid souls to imagine that the benicose Japanese would sweep the Pacific of the pos sessions of the United States, and mayhap shell the city 1t the Golden Cate. need no longer be regarded as even an attenuated specter, since it has been laid by a New York society woman, the author of many charming college girl stories and the wife of an eminent legal practitioner. This is how it came about.
 For some time past group of Japanese wrestlers. headed by the
 gigantic Oshimmy Oshammy, the ter rible Jap who has been sent to this country to demonstrate the deadly jitsu art. has been holding forth at Madison Garden. New York. and has more or less effectually con vinced the crowds in attendance that the Japanese are invincible in war as well as boastful in peace. Not
 one of the many minor jiujitsu eX- 1 perts who accompanied him has been able to bring the champion to the
 mat and his triumph was complete. ! Then the unexpected happened. 1 After a business meeting of the Working Women's Vacation commit
 tee at Terrace Garden, the other night, the ferociOus Japanese were in vited to give an exhibition of their : young women how to protect them 1 selves by jiu jitsu, and Mrs. Selden Bacon. widely known as Josephine 1 Daskam Dodge. volunteered as a ] subject Mrs. Bacon was in the
 conventional American costume. and, according to the usually Veracious
 New York Tribune, did not even re-
 move hat pin. Then, amid thun- 1 dering applause, and the lamentations
 of the ferocious Japanese fighting
 man and his companions, Mrs. Bacon proceeded to throw the redoubtable Oshimmy Oshammy, not once, but
 three times, over her shoulder, in
 strict accordance with the technique
 of the art of jiu- -jitsu. and it was all
 done within the space of five min
 utes.
 Ordinary prudence demands that an
 adequate fleet of battleships be main
 tained in the Pacific, but the moral effect of the incident at Terrace Garden will. after Oshimmy Osham- my has told his tale of woe to his
 countrymen at home, be greater than
 that produced by the most formidable naval demonstration. For jiu jitsu is the long suit of the Japanese fighting man.

The Mexican Situation

Conditions in many parts Of Mexico have become simply intoIerablc. or. II would be more accurate to say the intoierable condition of Mexican af- fairs has been revealed. II has come about that throughout an entire state the state of Sinaloa-there is no such thing as safety for the non- cOmbatants. It is not war; il is pill lage and outrage. It has come to be demonstrated that thousands of the Mexican people know so little of self restraint that they can hardly be trusted out of the sight of the mili- taTy. With the demonstration of this fact the pitiable weakness of the Madero government is explained.
 The deplorable condition of affairs in the republic to the south is of a character to cause the gravest ap- prehensions, It is not likely this country is thinking of intervention though there have been strong hints that intervention may some time be found necessary. But in studying the situation the query naturally arises, how long can actual brigandage be tolerated? In other words, how far must it go before outside authority is compelled to intervene?
 The weakness of the AIadero gov Nt.hi ,1 ready been made. is not to be deter mined by the relative number of fed eral and rebel troops That is the least of the presidents troubles. The weakness of the government is the weakness of the people of which the nation is composed When whole states. in which no actual war exists, are given over to rapine murder, and outrage. this is d sad commentary on the people of that country for self government
 IL would take wise man to cast the future of the Mexican republic The outcome Of the present conflict iN b'C tilt Stit matter ID De COllSiu- cred. Suppose Madero succeeds in putting down the present uprising within reasonable time Does any one doubt new revolution would start almost immediately? And does anyone. doubt the same thing would happen if Orozco should win?
 The trouble is in the material The trouble is that men have been trying To govern Mexico who cannot ever govern themselves The trouble is that many thOusands-perhaps ma iority-of the Mexican people have nc adequate conception of real liberty They do know what license means and that is about all
 The future of the Mexican repub- lie is a dark one. Its hope is in a Bolivar or a more humane Diaz; but ii must be confessed that none of the present leaders has given any sign oi the possession of the qualities which that hope implies.
