Daily Stock Letter.

Evening Post Col

NEW YORK, May 27.-The main
prices declined was the report, tele-
graphed from st. Louis, that receiv-
ership papers were being drawn up
for the $5o,o00,0o0 st. Louis and San
Francisco railway. On Wall street
these advices excited no great sur
prise; the 16 point break in the conf
pany's FIVE percent bonds from the
January prices, and the general know
ledge that it had found much Difficult
ty in providing for renewal of the two
and quarter millions of short term
notes maturing next Monday, had SUIT
ficiently indicated the position before
hand. What an application to the
courts would mean In regard to this
railroad system, would be the rear
rangement and untangling OF dent
and guarantees which had grown over
burdensome.
The stock market had moved unin-
terruptedly before the Frisco" dis.
patches were received, in the early
dlleInoon, lneH, III VHe Two Nioslh3
hours, selling movement began and
before the day was over. net declines
of one to two points occurred In the
active stocks. At the close, the mar
ket was weak. This decline may have
partly resulted from the fact that
hopes of relief to the Frisco at the
eleventh hour had seemingly been dis
appointed; but it can hardly be said
that the weakness was an expression
of CONSERVATION, or surprise, There
was. however, little other news to
affect the market of the day. The
Union Pacific officials only limited
vaguely at negotiations under way
/ for settlement of their problems.

Seasoned With Salt.


Washington Post The retiring
moderator of the Presbyterian general
assembly now in annual session at
Atlanta, Ga, has stirred up spirited
discussion by his attack upon the lazy
clergyman. Referring to the alleged
presence OF drones in the church
hive, he proclaims the slothful min
lister an internal traitor to his calling.
Small exception should be taken to
this definition. The church, no doubt,
occasionally gives shelter to the
shirker, just as does every other pro-
fession in life Unless DR.. Matthews
intended wholesale denunciation, his
pointed observation should elicit ap-
Iproval, rather than opposition or dis
| claimer
! Scriptural exhortation favors the
word seasoned with salt. Remarks of
this character cannot weaken the hold
of the earnest servant upon his flock
| or give the tongue of cayil fresh
cause to wag. All true reform, as well
as all true progress, starts from
within. 1t really begins with the in
dividual Take heed unto thyself
and unto the doctrine was the in
junction of the Apostle Paul to his be-
loved Timothy And it was this same

of works. The only quarrel on the
Halter point, after ALL is whether the

consequence of an end already reach.
ed In either event the practical ap-
/! plication is the same, and is one that
was accepted and followed by John
! Wesley in London's slums, just as it
was by the self sacrificing Catholic
priest who gave his services and his
