WHAT CONVINCED HEAL DOW.
Tko Experience That Opened the Great
Prohibitionist's Eyes.
"I was," says Neal Dow, "sitting in my
room, one evening, quite late, a good
many years ago. In answering a
knock at the door I found a lady
whom I knew Terr well as the wife of
a Government official in Boston. He
was a periodical drunkard, and on
that very night was down on a
spree. His wiie wished me to get him
home quietly, because it he was drunk the
next uay he might lose his position. I
started out, and lonnd him in the backroom
of one of the downtown saloons. That was
in the days of license in Maine.
"I said to the keeper in a very quiet way,
'I wish you would sell no more liquor to
Mr. Blank.'
" 'Why, Mr. Dow,' he said, 'this is my
business. I must supply my customers.'
" 'That all may be,' I replied, 'but there
is this gentleman with a large family de
pending on him for support. If he goes to
his office to-morrow drunk he will lose
his place. I wish you would sell him no
more.'
He became somewhat angry, and told me
that he, too, had a family to support; that
he had a license to sell liquor to whoever
he pleased, and he didn't care to have me
meddling in his business. 'So you have a
license, have yon?' said I, 'and you support
your family by destroying that man's. "We'll
see about this.'
I went home thoroughly determined to
to devote my life to suppressing the liquor
traffic in the best way possible. The
Maine law originated in that rumshop."
CLETELAND AND EANDALL.
A Story That the Latter Took the Former's
Defeat as a Vindication,
Canon Lake in New York Press.
"Do you know that Samuel J. Randall
looked upon Grover Cleveland's defeat for
re-election as a personal vindication of him
self and his course in Congress?" I was
asked yesterday by a Philadelphia politi
cian, who went on to say: "I was talking
with Randall shortly after election, when he
said: 'I shouldn't be surprised if some of
the friends of the gentleman who is about to
retire from public life understand now that
I told them the truth when they challenged
me to a contest with them two years ago, and
threatened my political future if I did sot
follow their lead on the tariff. I told them
distinctly that their programme would put
Cleveland under the daisies at the close of
his four years' term. I told his friends
when they persisted in presenting his name
at St. Louis that he wouid be defeated, bnt
they laughed at me.
" 'When I recalled how I had been in
duced by his explanation to me of his posi
tion on the tariff to go into New Jersey and
make speeches for him in 18S4, by which
protective tariff Democrats were kept in
line, I knew I was right in my judgment of
what would happen if he was renominated.
No man can lire twice in the White House
who breaks his faith. "
LITE BAIT FOK PISHUE1IEN.
A Steel Clad Dllnnow With His Tail Free Is
tho Latest Device.
American Angler.
A Cincinnati inventor has made applica
tion for a patent on a perforated armor in
which to inclose a live minnow, with only
his tail exposed temptingly tothe view of
the angler's guest. The metal case is pro
vided with hinges, so that it may be opened
and shnt to receive and inclose the live bait,
and also with a set ot revolving spinners at
tached thereto, which rotate when the
spoon is drawn along. The metal case may
be painted and shaped to resemble bait
fish, while the holes In it permit the game
to scent and sight the tidbit within. One
objection, however, occurs to us: the fish is
liable to get dizzy and die of coma.

ISSUES OF THE DAT.
The Business Situation Somewhat
Involved, bnt Nothing Like
DANGER SEEN ON THE SURFACE.
Industrial Discontent and the Bilver Prob
lem Again to the Front,
THE DIQNITI OF AMERICAN LABOE
In seeking a correct understanding of the
business situation, two things must be kept
steadily in view the industrial trouble and
silver legislation. A. great deal depends
upon the manner in which they shall be
settled. Without entering upon a discussion
oi the merits and demerits of either it is
sufficient to say here that it is unfortunate
that they should have been sprung upon the
country at the beginning of the spring trade,
which is usually the best of the year. As
midsummer or winter diversions, when business
is clack, they could wort but little harm, and
there would be moro time for their discussion
and settlement.
w
The silver question rests as much upon theory
as fact. To sum it up it is apparent that one
side to the controversy is in favor of inflating
the currency of the country on the ground that
business requires such assistance, while the
other as stoutly maintains that any material
expansion of funds would lead to a riso in
values, reckless speculation and extravagance,
which would Boon bring about a financial crash.
Free, or unlimited coinage of silver, rinds few
advocates. Such legislation as may be enacted
will no doubt be more or less of a compromise
between the two extremes.
Labor being the mainstay of the country the
Archimedean force which moves everything
its claims cannot bo ignored, no matter when
presented; and they should be met in a spirit
of broad liberality as becomes the Importance
of the issnes involved, and in harmony with the
progressive sentiment of the age. But at the
same time labor should unhesitatingly recog
nize the value of capital, without which there
could be no progress, and man would return to
the savage condition of his remote ancestors.
The two are inextricably linked together in a
sort of marriage bond, for better or worse, ac
cording as they harmonize or disagree. Every
effort, therefore, should be directed to making
their relations agreeable. War between them
invariably results in injury to both. If the
present upheaval throughout the world shall
result in drawing these great factors in human
development and happiness closer together by
removing the causes of antagonism which have
hitherto kept them apart, a great deal will have
been gained. Such a consummation would be
tho greatest vfatory achieved for humanity
since the surrender of King John at Runny
mede. Bo far as this country is concerned
there 'are no signs of a long and bitter
conflict. The two sides have come face to face
and are discussing the questions in controversy
with a calmness and deliberation which portend
good results. Each recognizes the strength
and ability of the other, and neither is disposed
to insist upon unfair conditions of settlement.
Moderation is a characteristic of the typical
American workingman. He is guided by in
telligence and not passion. He acts from con
viction and not impulse. When he feels that
he is right, be goes ahead with a coolness and
Deliberation which command admiration if not
always success. Some men are not dangerous.
They can always be relied upon to uphold the
law and maintain order. Therefore their ef
forts to improve their condition cannot be
regarded as inimical to the peace and welfare
of society. Hence nothing serious is appre
hended over the present agitation. Business
may be temporarily depressed in some quar
ters, but the prosperity of the country is so
great and its recuperative power so extraordi
nary that any depression likely to ensuo would
scarcely be felt, and the rally would be so
prompt that very few would know that any
thing beyond the usual bad happened. There
may be serious trouble abroad, where the la
boring element is less intelligent and self-possessed,
and where there is a score of centuries'
growth to settle, but there will be none here.
Pittsburg has nothing to complain of so far.
Her prosperity is unabated. All of her great
industries are in full operation. The volume
of trade last week was the greatest in her his
tory, as shown by the Clearing House report.
The bank exchanges wero the largest of the
year, and 2,225,000 in round numbers in excess
of those for the corresponding period in 1SS9.
When it Is remembered that these figures rep
resent solid business, speculation being next to
nothing, the result shows a degree ot prosper
ity that is seldom attained by any community,
and should be, and no doubt is, a matter of
personal pride to every citizen.

MONErAEY. MOVEMENTS.
The Best Week of the Year at tho Clearing
House.
Local business continues to Increase in the
face of a threatened strike of large propor
tions. Ordinarily this danger would act like a
wet blanket on a firebrand, and that it does not
have that effect no wis the best of proof that
home industries and interests are in good
shape, and in a manner proof against outside
influences. The bank clearings last week were
tho largest of the year to date, and $2,225,000 in
excess of those for tho same week in 18S9. This
evidenco of prosperity cannot be waived aside.
It must be credited. The Clearing Bouse re

Keesport bank is understood to have redis
counted quite a Dutch of citv paper.
The weekly statement of the New YorK
banks, issued yesterday, shows the following

The banks now hold $3,333,225 in excess of the

Money on call at New York yesterday was
easy, with no loans, closing offered at 4 per

DK0PS OP OIL.
A Narrow Market, With Batlnesi to Corre
spond Latest From the Field.
Brokers were distrnstf ul of oil yesterday, not
knowing what Sunday might bring forth, and
consequently did very little business. The
market was narrow as well as anil, the range
being only of a cent. The close was at the
lowest point owing to indifference rather than
weakness. Pittsburg and Oil Citv were on the
bull side of the fence, with New York inclined
to the other. The opening was better than
that of Friday, bnt the close was . lower. The
principal nnciuiions were: upening, 6is: nign
est, 84; lowest and closing, 8 There was
no fresh news to affect the market either way.
Several brokers thought conditions favorable
to a rally. The week's clearances were 1,930,000
barrels.
The oil well on the Shanks farm, Neville Isl
and, Gaily & Quffey, showed signs of life yes
terday morning. Two or three other wells in the
same vicinity are approaching completion.
The Keating well of Gaily & Co., in the West
view field, dry in tne 100-foot is being drilled to
tho lower sand, where their Rea farm well is

well.
Tho Beaver well, a mile and a half ahead of
developments, is in tho sand, but no oil has
shown up. Boyle Nos. 2 and S, on the Corbeit

WALL STREET HAPPY.
The Upward Whirl In Stocks Continued Re
newed Interest In American Securi
ties In London A Brenk
and n Rally.
New York, April 20. The good half day's
business makes Wall street and especially the
brokers, jubilant Commission houses report
ranch greater interest in the speculation and
much mote nnmorous orders from outsiders,
which would indicate the continuance of the
steady confidence in an improved market which
has been growing of late.
The increase in the bank-reserves improves
the monetary situation, and the balls were
decidedly In the ascendant to-day. The
London market has for several days past shown
renewed Interest In American securities, and
this morning London prices came higher ac
companied by liberal buying orders m all the
London favorites, which bad the effect of
opening this market materially higher. The
foreigners were specially prominent in tba
St Panl, Erie and some others, and these
stocks were leaders of the market all the way
out
They were undoubtedly heavy realizations at
the high figures of the opening, to which force
was added some hammering by the professional
brokers who sold stocks whenever they ap
peared sluggish. The drive had the effect of
sagging prices off for a few minutes, but the
unnsual demand soon changed the course of
prices, and from that time, except in a few
special stocks, there was no weakness shown
in the market.
Chicago Gas was specially heavy in the early
dealings, owing to the influence of the new
litigation, but it recovered latter, though) it
failed to reach opening prices. The grangers
were again very prominent In the upward
movement, and the St Paul stocks in particu
lar, and the dealings in them reached high
figures. There is talk of a resumption of divi
dends upon the common stock, bnt tbe officers
of the company give little encouragement to
the idea.
The upward movement continned till the
closo with slight reactions from time to time,
but the close was active and strong at abont
tbe best prices reached. With a few excep
tions tho entire active list was higher to-night
and St Paul preferred ross lc; tbe
common, 1J; Wabash, the preferred, 1J;
Erie, 1, and Big Four and Lake Shore, each 1
per cent Railroad bonds kept pace with the
share list in both its activity and strength, and
a business of $1,102,000, with some general ad
vances in the list, shows the prevailing temper
of the speculation in its true light The Texas
Pacific incomes, with $145,000, and the Atchison
Incomes, with $118,000, were the active issnes.
Amongthe principal changes for the day were
Cedar Falls and Minneapolis firsts rose 4 to
76K- The sales of bonds for tho week reached
the large total of $11,419,000, against $3,219,000
for last week. Government bonds have been
dnll and steady. Bonds have been dull and
featureless.
The J'ost says: The market this morning was
active and higher, and the best prices of the
day were made in the last half hour, after tbe
appearance of tbe bank statement at 11:40,
showing an increase of $2,008,775. In the surplus
reserve the gain was principally In legal tenders,
which reflected tbe movement ot currency from
the Wen and South. Loans were contracted
$4,207,500 and deposits wero reduced $3,605,500.
The largo advance on the coal stocks was dne
principally to covering otsbort contracts ra her
than any heavy buying for the long account
The condition of the coal trade, whilo some
what improved, is not materially different from
a month ago. Large earnings reported by roads
In all portions of the country have had consider
able influence in the upward movement of
prices, and the agreement on a silver bill
materially assisted the advance in prices. The
money market ha3 ruled easy and will doubtless
continue so, but the advance of the last two
weeks has been so great as to warrant reason
able expectations of a reaction.

stocks on the ew York btock Exchange yester
day. Corrected dally for the Dispatch by

WALL STRErJT GOSSIP.
Hopes Built on the Silver Boom The Possi
bilities of Oil.
Special to John 1. Oakley & Co.i
New Yoke, April 26. Boom, that's the word
to express the hopes and expectations of Wall
street For several years things have gone on
in a hum-drum way in speculative circles, up a
little, down a little, active occasionally, dull
generally. Committees on dullness and com
mittees on bucket shops havo tried to fan the
dying embers of speculation, but to no pur
pose. For a long time Wall street has been
more or less pessimistic Koom traders and
frequenters of the Exchange have upon all
rallies, if not indeed, on all depressions, pre
dicted lower prices, and generally operated on
the bear side upon small provocation.
Wo havo all lamented the absence of the bi
bull leaders who strayed the market a decade
ago and inf used life into business, distributing
speculative orders with a large hand. Now,
porcbance the market has received. In the sil
ver idea, an impetus that will start it on a
course that will summon bold bull leaders from
out the ranks. K vents make men and every
emergency finds sluinbenbg material, as the
North found Lincoln in Springfield and Grant
at Galena, in far away Illinois. Perhaps BH
nois may furnish some big bull leaders in stock
speculation.
If Hutchinson grows weary of wheat and
Jones of tbe bear side of stocks and Armonr
and Beam see a chance for a bull turn in Wall
street they may forsake their oldwavsand
show Wall street "The Promised Land" of a
bull market, with S. V. White and Keen as
their colleagues in enterprise and aggressive-
ucsa. -i.ua uctubjr ut uuu puui to set tne specu
lative ball rolling was first shown In Lacka
wanna, and, within 24 hours, in St. Paul, which
climbed up to 73 to-day. The speculative pot
ws boiling this morning and transactions wero
larger than they have been for the same hours
in a long time. Reactions havo como almost
every day thi3 week, but they are of small
dimensions and tho markot appears to have
such a bull momentum that for a few days at
least it is likely to rise.
The bank statement to-day was favoraUe,
showingagalnon legal reserves of over $2,000.
000, and a reduction of loans of over $4,000,000.
This indicates tha$ the recent advance has not
brought a lot of stocks hero from the outside,
and that investment holdings have not been
transferred to speculative marginal accounts.
A few days ago wo pointed out the failure of
the Vanderbilts to keep paco with the rest of
the market, saying that but few of the stocks
were held on tho street as would shortly be re
vealed. The rise in Lake Shore to-day to 1GS
is taruy uuk uwi. uuai. , wui go mucn nigner
011 its heavy business, and we expect to see
Canada Southern and Cleveland, Columbus.
Cincinnati and St Louis tako a flight next
week.
The grangers have all been buoyant, notwith
standing the fact that Western managers show
no conciliatory disposition. If any of them are
short of their stocks tbey must bo disgusted
with their lmpotency in controlling the market
as 01 01a uy Denigerent ana rate
cutting arts. If coal companies, who
are natural competitors, can combine to
hold rates, and maintain confidence in their
securities, during one winter of more than or
dinary mildness followed by another of phe
nomenal warmth, what excuse, except in
competency, to grapple with tbe necessities of
business can Western managers offer. Among
the slow stocks are Richmond Terminal. Lcau
Trust, Cotton and Oil, but tbey onght to get
their innings soon, and we especially recom
mend purchases of the latter. Tbe "strike
mania" might lead to some dlstnrnances, and
it seems to be the only clond on the present
speculative horizon. London is buying here,
and all fears of gold exports are apparently
dissipated.
Oil has not caught tbe bull Infection which
attacked grain, provisions first and how
stocks, but if tbe bull feeling grows people
will be looking around for sometblngtbat has
not gone up. Then petroleum will be the bull
card, and since the visible supply in shape for
good delivery Is small, traders could run away
with tho market if they once got the bit in their
mouths wo should favor purchases of oil.

N0mbeb ot mortgages recorded yesterday,
25. The largest was for $15,000.
A BurnHTELD street jeweler thinks watch
making and repairing would be justths thing
for women.
Thkee was qnlte a movement in zeal estate
between Glenfield and Jlaysvillo yesterday
morning. Several land Rides occurred. One
house was nearly buried.
The failure of tho Pittsburg Commission
Company yesterday had no effect 'npon the oil
market, as thsy wero short of tho stuff. It
caused some surprise, however.
There was a good inquiry for real estate
last week, and a large number of sales were
closed up. Tbe demand for building lots in the
suburbs is much greater than ever before at
this season.
There Is some anxiety in Chicago as to the
possible outcome of the strikes which are
threatenod for ilay L The emergency Ij al
ready beginning to affect the money market
and local securities.
Some of the very best commission houses In
Wall street seem to talk in very conservative
hut, nevertheless, confident manner. They are
inclined to tho belief that the stock market has
changed its course, and that from this on good
securities will sell considerably higher.
The Gonld people are talking as if they were
on the fence. The fact thatllr. Gonld is doing
absolutely nothing either to Improve hi3 Mis
souri Pacific or Wabash is conclusive evidence
to those who profess to know bis feelings that
be is not at all in sympathy with any further
Improvement in the market
Abpinwall, on tho West Penn road, one
mile above Sharpsburg. will soon have a boom.
Six hundred and one lots of various sizes ars
laid out on wide avenues, with sidewalks.
Shade trees havo been planted and natural gas
mains laid. Water works and an electric road
are projected, and a $5,000 railroad station will
soon be erected. Fourteen houses have been
completed and others are under way.i
MAEKETSBY WIEE.
Wheat Slow bnt Stronger All Around Fa
vorable Crop News Corn and Oats
a Shade Better Pork Weak
and Unsettled.
CHICAGO Only a moderate business was
transacted in wheat to-day, but a firm feeling
existed and prices averagod higher all around.
May and June made some rather sharp fluctua
tions, but July ruled steady within a narrow
range. May and June opened JSKc higher
and advanced 11C, and closed firm at al
most outside prices. July opened z
higher, ruled firm and closed about o higher
than yesterday.
The firmness was attributed to the nature of
the crop new3 and favorable advices from
abroad. Crop news from the Northwest re
ports favorable progress, though to-day a dis
patch from Minneapolis said that seeding in
the Jim River valley bad been stopped on ac
count of dry weather.
"Another aull day was witnessed in corn,
though the feeling was somewhat firmer. Op
tions were confined largely to local operators
and fluctuations were kept within narrow lim
its. Tbe market opened at a trifle above yes
terday's closing, was easy for a time, then sold
up c, ono or two prominent traders buying
freely of July and some May, which started the
crowd to covering, eased off some then, closing
c better than yesterday.
Oats were fairly active, and a stronger feel
ing prevailed. Prices advanced lc for tbe
distant futures, but May held easy. 'The feat
ure of the trading was tbe free selling of May
by a large holder. His operations prevented
E rices for that month from advancing, and they
eld at about the same to c above yesterday's
close.
A weak and unsettled feeling prevailed In
pork, and prices receded 4050 cents. At a re
duction there was a little more inquiry, and
prices rallied 2030 cents and closed compara
tively steady.
A fairly active business was reported in short
ribs. Prices early receded 57ic Later a
steadier feeling prevailed, bnt trading was
rather light and prices slightly Improved.
The lard market rnled rather weak early,
and prices declined 607Jc Later they rallied
slightly, the market closing steady.

STILL AHEAD,
The Wonderful Success of Drs. Cope- r
land and Blair in Treating W
CATARRHAL TROUBLES IS Mt
ABATED.
"A short time iincetha attention of ft-'
public was called to the remarkable success!
Drs. Copeland and Blair were haying in their
treatment of catarrh and all its yarious com
plications. Although imitators of their
method of treatment ana mode of advertis
ing have sprang up in various sections of
the city, their feeble efforts have met with
no success. Drs. Copeland and Blair still
remain at the head, and their success is un
abated. Dr. W. H. Copeland is personally
in charge of his extensive practice. To his
skillful treatment and close attention to the
yarious changes in the caes under his care,
are due the wonderful results reached.
MISS SMITH'S STATEMENT.
Since Dr. Copeland located permanently
in this city, over one year ago, a week has
not gone by in which a new statement of the
proof of his wonderful skill has not been
published. The individual case presented
to the pnblic this week is that of Hiss Annie
Smith, of No. 338 Ella street (Bloomfield),
Pittsburg.
Hist Annie Smith. !33 Ella Street.
Miss Smith's trouble had extended over a
period of seven years, and to the writer she
stated the following:
"My head and nose would stop up. My nos
trils wonld clog first on one side and then on
tbe other. There were roaring and buzzing
noises in my ears. My eyes were weak and
watery. I could feel tbe mucus dropping into
my throat. I was constantly hawking and
raising.
"A dry, hacking cough set in. which at times
was so violent that my throat would become so
raw and sore that I cou'dhardly swallow.
"Sharp pains would shoot through my chest,
extending as far as the shoulder blades. I bad
no appetite. The very tight of food caused a
nausea in my stomach. Night sweats were
added to my other troubles and weakened me
terribly.
"I could not sleep, and in the morning was
tired and unrefreshed.
"I grew weaker every day, and was greatly
rednced in weight,
"It was while in this condition that I read ot
the wonderful success Drs. Copeland
Blair were having with cases similar to my
own; so determined to see them. I did so, and.
finding their charges even lower than patent
medicines, placed myself under their care.
"Their treatment certainly performed won
ders for me. I am now feeling as well as I ever
did. My bead and throat no longer choke up.
The pains in my che3t have disappeared, and
the night sweats have ceased. In fact, to state
it briefly, all the symptoms I mentioned have
left me, and I owe my recovery to Drs. Cope
land & Blair."
Miss Smith lives, as stated, at No. 33S Ella St,
and this interview can be readily verified.
HOME TREATMENT.
Mrs. Robert Ramsey, of Washington, Pi,
speaking of her successf nl treatment with Drs.
Copeland A Blair, says: Every fall for tbe past
five years I have been troubled with cbronio
dyspepsia. Have tried countless remedies and
various physicians without any relief, I could
not get ease from pain in any position I would
assume. Every breath I drew was like a knife
cutting me. I became weak and pale, losing
greatly in weight.
Since I have been with Drs. Copeland &
Blair all these symptoms have disappeared, and
I now feel as well as I ever did.
Jacob Altmeyer, of Risher, opposite McKees
port, Pa., states: "I commenced treatment for
my catarrhal trouble with Drs. Copeland A
Blair on June 29, 1SS9. I now feel like a differ
ent man. and shall be pleased to state my case
and recommend their treatment to anyone ad
dressing me."
Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman. Pa,, was
afflicted with catarrh, and had lost all sense of
taste and smell. He was under the care of
Drs. Copeland c Blair, and now states: "I am
perfectly well, and owe my recovery to their
treatment."
Mr. Harry Phillips, of Hnlton. Pa., has this
to say of his successful treatment for catarrh
with Drs. Copeland & Blair: "I was in very bad
shape, but now feel like a different being, and
as well as I ever did in my life."
