While there has not been apparent
on the part of the administrative
branch of the government any ten
dency to cut down expenses, it is en-
couraging to note that congress is
showing a disposition toward economy.
Few if any appropriation bills get by
the committees without being pared to
the bone. A notable instance is af-
forded in the handling Of the rivers
and harbors bill. If congress can
find a way to force the departments to
dispense with several thousands of
needless employees in Washington and
thruout the country it will confer a
substantial benefit on the taxpayers.
But probably no great reduction in the
number of government employees can
be expected until after the election.
And even then there will be thousands
of party workers clamoring for their
reward.

A Bishop on Dances.

The Dean of Durham, Bishop Weldon, after watching displays of country and morris dances by the English Folk Dance society at Durham, said that he greatly regretted certain changes which had come over the characetr of dancing.
 Even my memory" he said, "carries me back to the time when the mazurka, the schottische, and Sir Roger de Cover ley were habituaL In recent days dancing has almost degenerated to the waltz alone and that has been to some extent sup planted by the jazz.
 T would welcome any revival of old dances. There is a physical benefit which belongs to dancing, and nobody who watches the conduct of young children in the slums as soon as music is heard can doubt that dancing is the instinctive motion of human nature. Daily Mail, London

FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET CLOSED STRONG.

New York. July 22.-Prices on the stock exchange rose and fell within an extremely small radius during the great CT part of today's session. Sentiment in speculative circles was visibly hearten- ed, however, by the better aspects of the railroad labor situation and maintenance Of comparatively easy money rates.
 There was q fairly succe ssfuI demon stration against the shorts in the last hour. when quotations rose to highest averages of the day under the impetus of 2 demand for oils. s1eels rails and va rious miscellaneous speciaIties.
 The sudden advance of prices followed publication of excerpts of Senator Hard ings speech of acceptance. The candi- dates references to the countrys trans portation needs met with especial satis- faction. Sales of stocks amounted to a20. 900 shares.
 Industrial conditions frightened as a result of the railroad wage increase and advices from the more important steel centers indicated increased production, based on the belief that many new con- tracts for equipment are pending.
 Reports of ''saturation" in the steel in dustry, which have long been current in the financial district, met with denials in authoritative quarters but the motor group as a whole made indifferent re sponse to these assurances. Sugar shares were under further pressure, but rallied on the frmer tone of allied food .ssues.
