Tn other words, spare Bpoll the ba,U club. tho rod and. (Jood Times Already Here. Last week's Htock sales amounted at New YorU to 2,845,604 shares, a record without tecent precedent. Twenty lead Inft ralljvriy stocks have risen In eleven weeks from an n vera rc quotable value of $19 a share to $02. At tho same time, tu use tho words of one conserva tive reviewer, "a new face 1ms crept over tho whole commercial situation. It Is not to bo reroRiilzed beside the features made familiar through four years of depression. Despondency lias overywliere given way to tho most hopeful and sanguine feeling. Good crops nro beginning to move at high er prices. Hank clearings outside the speculative centers reflect nn Increas ing volume of trade, llallroad earn ings are Improving. The depressed iron and, steel market has within tho week leportcd the appearance of a new demand for products. Dullness fail ures for July give certain evidence of the change that has taken place. Dun's record In comparison with the same month In the tluee previous years Is aa follows: July. Number, WSl ., SIS ISM Lisa 1893 901 1S9I 933 Liabilities. $7,117,727 15.S01.W."i 10,433, V.'S 10,200,133 This represents a remarkable improve ment, particularly In comparison with last year, and supports the surface indications of a notable business re vival." A In the light of these facts the ques tion may be asked, "Why does not this improvement make Itself immediate ly and wholly palpable to the average man doing business say tn Scranton?" "Vo answer that It Is being felt, and wo call the business men of the city to witness. The mines nreworklngsteadlly now for the first time this year. The steel mills are active. Hardly a small factory or shop Is without Its quota of workmen and Its normal volume of onlers. Jt ''past losses couUtttye sponged out of the way by magic," we should feel more prosperity than In years; ,lt is the catching up with old debts which have been accumulating during the four long years Just ended that causes us yet in some measure to feel the pinch. In other words, while it Is easy to get in debt and not difficult to exhaust the little balance saveil'up at the bank. It takes time and patience to get out',Qfrdebt ngalp, and to hoard up another surplus for a future rainy day. Hut there Is no short cut through this inevitable and wholesome period of liquidation. The credits secured during the hard times must be made good. The debtsj contracted when work was slack and money scarce, in order that the wolf might be kept from the door, must be paid ere the average man will feel at liberty to "blow him self." The little account in the bank, depleted for the same reason, must be restored.. These .things take time. ProsDorlty-ls already here. Money Is even now getting a move on. But It cannot cause n boom and no sensible man would want it to. If this thing keeps up, the London press will soon havo to take something to relieve that John Sherman feeling. The Crisis in Spain. The effect which the nssasslnation of Spain's prime minister, Kerior Canovas, will have upon the Cuban problem re mains a theme of cencral speculation, not only in this country but throughout Europe. The opinion seems to bo gen eral that there will not be found a Conservative leader capable of cement ing the various factions of that party and that In tho end the queen' regent will bo compelled to tender the pre miership to the leader of the Liberals, Senor Sacasta. For a score of years lie and Canovas were the two great statesmen of Spain who, although rep resenting opposing parties, often play. ed Into each other's hands. Those best Qualified to predict say that the denth of Canovas inevitably projects Sagasta to the front. That the great Liberal is not anxious to accept the peculiar responsibilities of the position of premier at this time may be inferred from his remark of yesterday, when h'e declared, with a suggestion of melodrama, that his coun try's politics must hot depend on an an amination, and added that the Con servatives oupht to remain In power. "While it appeals as wo would say to tho Balllerles.this sententious deliverance is nevertheless entirely true. The Con servative party of Spain, as fashioned by Canovas, Is responsible for the col onial pollcy.whleh lias turned Cuba into a shambles, which has nurtured Wey lerism and which now stands for all that Is repugnant In the relationship of colonists to the central government. It Is tho party which has sown the wind; and by every rule of justice It Is the party which should reap tho whirl wind. To a man like Senor Sagasta ppjver nt this Juncture would mean simply; work and worrVwlthbu tho sllchtetMros pect of reward Had he been called to the preriiieiRn'lpttwo.or three years ear lier, his modern Ideas of a proper col onial reltrtlnr&ulh ,for Cuba, might havo averted JJis. Jitfsentrftvo)qtlon and saved tho many millions of treasure and the prestige. Ipkt.by Sixain in the ensu Jug Interval, Hut, now the. progress of Cuba toward Independence has reached too advanced a stage to Justify expec tations of a reconciliation, and It will becomn thr-'sjul duty of tho successor of Canovas tn ler'Cuba.go, either with or without tho receipt of a nominal equivalents -- t is Interestlnc to note in this con nection the revival of talk in well-informed circles n Washington that Spain may pick a quarrel with the United StatcB-nsthe on? means of get ting out of Cuba without iirecipitatlnu evolution dt home, it la represented by trustworthy Washington corres pondents that this theory as to Spain's ultimate Intentions' prevails among tho leading officials of our government, from the president down. A change In ministries might Induce the abandon ment or It mlgh't effect the culmination of this plan; "but If the latter, wo concur in tho opinion of tho St. Louis Globe-Democrat, expressed a few days ngo, that it would bo a long tltno before Spain would solicit a repetition of tho treatment. The wonder occasioned by tho acci dent to Mr. Kerr is not that ho was hurt but that, with scorching and rid ing on sidewalks so general In Scran ton, and so utterly Ignored, by the au thorities, accidents of that kind nro so few. We can thank no one but Provl denno for our past Immunity In this respect. The Peril of Base Ball. In tho course of an editorial devoted to tho base ball problem n It exists from a Philadelphia standpoint tho Public Ledger of that city says: "Ilaso ball Is In danger of being dethroned as a favorite national game. It still has a strong hold on popular favor, but tho Interest Is not nearly so Intense as It was, and It is clearly and rapidly wan ing. There Is a wide and growing sus picion that the games are not being played or decided on their merits, but are being won or lost by methods dis creditable to all concerned. If this sus picion becomes a certainty In the pub lic mind tho popularity of base ball will be over, or at least seriously Im paired for some time to come. It must be regretfully admitted that the point of conviction Is rapidly being reached." The Ledger then cites the remark of an umpire that tho home club must win to draw a paying audience: that If It could not do so by superior playing, ho must help with hts decisions; and It concludes by dcmnndlng a more eqult able and orderly system of umpiring. We know nothing with rcferencd to tho Inference ns to crookedness con tained In tho Ledger's opening words; It may be true In the National league although we doubt It. It certainly la not true In the Eastern league. Dut there Is danger that the national game will fall Into disfavor unless It shall soon bo rescued from the disorderly features which lately seem to charac terize It as never before. A week has not passed this season In the big leaguo without bringing Into print an nccount of some umpire mobbed or goaded Into nn attack upon a player or a spec tator; and even In the exceptionally well conducted Eastern league there has been more disturbance than was necessary. Added to this, players have exercised a license on nnd off the dia mond not good either for them or for tho game. It would seem, In brief, that ordinary business prudence had for a time deserted a good many of the men concerned pecuniarily In maintain ing base ball high In the favor of the people. Whether this Is a consequence of tho general demoralization Incident to dull times or of the malign Influence of the stars, or of the "crime of '"3," or something else, It Is unfortunate for all concerned, nnd requires speedy cor rection and amendment If the game is to live. It Is growing plain that William Jennings Bryan will need to get a new lssuo and a new set of advisers, or elso give up political ambition. The logic of events Is going directly against him. A Populist In Error. Dr. C. P. Taylor, the PoVullst nom inee for auditor general of Pennsyl vania, is circulating a document tho purport of which Is that If a working man had begun 1900 years ago to ac cumulate a million dollors, saving one dollar each secular day, and not al lowing for interest; and If his life were miraculously prolonged to complete tho task, he would today have only $."31,898, or less than sixty per cent, of the desired million. Dr. Taylor asks In conclusion, "What shall we say to those who obtain not only one million but many millions In the few years of the adult period of a single life?" What we shall say ought to depend wholly upon the circumstances. If a boy who with a few dollars saved from wages purchases a sack of raw pea nuts and a roaster and opens a peanut stand, selling his goods at a profit, should later find himself able to start another peanut stand and then two others and afterward four others and so on In geometrical ratio it Is easily conceivable that he could in acampara tlvely short time ncquiro a million dol lars, the last dollar of which would come to him quite as honestly as the first. That Is how many of our largo fortunes are accumulated not, per haps, with peanuts but on tho prin ciple underlying the peanut illustration. If tho owner of one peanut stand finds that another person Is likely to start an opposition stand near him, and to prevent It sells roasted peanuts at or below cost for a time, or until tho would-be rival Is run out of the busi ness, we havo precisely the principle which our Populist friends condemn not, Indeed, In tho peanut business, but In the parallel caso of the Stand ard Oil company for example, whoso vast business was built up by Just such methods, and with the result of a con tinually lowered selling price of kero sene oil. The millions of Mr. Rocka feller havo been won along tho same line and In obedience to the same trade laws that have governed the supposi titious peanut vender In his accumula tion of pennies, nlckles and dimes; It one Is dishonest, so is the other; If one should bo attacked by law the other should by no means escape. On tho other hand if a peanut ven der gives short weight, palms off on his customers Inferior stock by falsa representations or works a pull on councils or tho street commissioner to secure a site for his stand on some public place to which he has no moral title but where he can Increase his trade, wo have precisely the samo prin ciples Illustrated as In tho caso of tho millionaire speculator who gains vnl uablo fraachiso concessions without rendering a public equivalent and on tho strength of such concessions or ganizes a figurehead corporation with inflated capital stock, which ho pro ceeds to unload on unsuspecting peo ple so as virtually to steal a million or ten million dollars. To tho ' man who thus obtains money, whether in big sumo -or in email, we uhould ccy; "Make restitution where posslblo and go to Jail." But wo should say this ns well to tho peanut vender as to tho speculator In securities. In other words, If we havo made our meaning clear, the Import of Dr. Tay lor's grievance becauso there nro mil lionaires is Insulilclently qualified. Some millionaires nro good men and some nro rascals but In cither event they are not by nature different from other men who measure their wealth by bIx figures, by five figures or by two. If It Is morally wrong for any man to have a million, who shall say that It would bo right for any other man to havo a cent? Ilerenftcr, under tho ballot law ns amended by tho Inst legislature, only blnnk forms of nomination furnished by the secretary of tho commonwealth are to be used. Under tho new law certificates of nomination must bo filed with tho secretary of the common wealth at least 42 days before tho day of election and nomination papers at least 35 dnys before election. Objec tions to tho validity of nomination pa pers must lie tiled not only with tho court of common pleas, but also In tho oillco where the original papers wero filed, at least thirty-five days before the election In the case of certificates of nomination filed In the oftlcei of the secretary of tho commonwealth, and at least twenty-eight days In the caso of nomination papers filed In his office. The court is required to hear and de termine tho objections at least sixteen days before tho election. It might avert confusion If those concerned In, political strife would bear these changes in mind. Tho fact that the British association for the advancement of science is to meet nt Toronto soon after tho conclu sion of tho Detroit meeting of tho American association, thus enabling the groat scientists of both brandies of tho English speaking race to como together, has suggested tho propriety of organizing nn International associa tion which in its membership shall cm body the world's best scientific scholar ship. Should such be the outcome It would be In obedience to one of the manifest tendencies of the times. Com binations are the order of tho day; it is being recognized at last that in union Is strength, and everywhere Is civiliza tion progressing toward universal brotherhood. Detestable as are the ethics of the assassin, tho man, who shot Canovas simply gave Spain a taste of the meth ods Spain has long employed In Cuba. Fiom her own dislike of It she should leallze how Cubans feel. Is Society Really Growing Wickeder? From tho Philadelphia Record. A saturnlno writer, who apparently has more respect for tho inventions of tho theologian than for those cf the literary artist, tells tho public, through the rather hide-bound Homlletic Review, that novel rending is the source of the flippancy and dishonor and irresponsibility of modern society. His argument rests upon the antithesis of truth and fiction, the "truth" as understood by him being of a theologi cal type rather than scientific or actual. He would replace the novel, wl'h "scien tific theology and the Word of G6d." What he means by "scientific theology" is not clear. Logic may give us a sys tem, but science deals with verifiable facts and not tho postulates of faith. But aside fron the meaningless phrase In question, to the love of fiction this sapient writer attributes the sensationalism of newspapers and the lack of "tho public sense of fact, of reality, of truth." It may bo observed hero that tho sense of reality tho quick recognition of fact and prompt adaptation to it when demon stratedis one of tho most conspicuous characteristics of tho nge. Tho spirit has both stimulated and has been stimulated by scientific, historical, archaeological and sodoloRlcal Investigation. It never was more dominant; It never mado tho human mind moro Judicial; It never Influenced conscience and conduct more than it does today. Perhaps if theology had dealt and should deal less on metaphysical speculations, less In the realms of im aginative thinking concerning things dls coverabla o'nly by authority, It might be more Influential in modern times. o "A further effect" (of novel reading), continues the essayist, "Is to be seen In the Immense change that has taken placo In tho conduct of mankind In the various departments of life. Corruption In poli tics and laxity In religion are Instances tn point. If there Is no basis In reality, why should men live as though they were? Multitudes havo answered this question to suit their natural desires, and are liv ing accordingly. The chango has been almost revolutionary. The world has ut most lost all sense of truth and right, and of ideal character and conduct, and all sense of responsibility." This Is the fruit, then, of novel reading. And why not, too, of tho study of poetry, much of which Is equally fictitious at least In Its Idyllic, heroic and epic branches? lAro wo to brand ns corrupters of tho public con science. Thacktray, Dickens, Trollope, Hawthorne, Macdonald, Meredith, Hardy and Howe'.ls? See In their bad train the best cultivated of women go Charlotte Bronte, Jano Austen, Maria Edgoworth, George Eliot, Mrs. Ward, Margaret De land, Amelia Uarr and Mrs. Oliphnnt? Surely the man must be sadly jaundiced who can set this group of splendid au thors la such saffron and livid colors! o But the man's statements aro not true, except In that a tolerably good-slzed so cial revolution Is In progress.Thls Is at tributable to tho progress of Bdence, the emancipation of women, the fertility of Invention and tho greater humanity of preachers as to fiction reading. If con tempornneous events be related as cause and effect, tho misogynist on equal grounds may charge our social ovlls to tho larger place now occupied by women in industrial and general life. o Tho revolution we nre unlcrgolng Is not for tho worse, but for the better. Professor McMaster ha written that there Is no political vice of the day that our venerated ancestors did not under stand and excel in. Bribery and corrup tion were tho avowed basts of nobcrt Walpole's party system. General Sickles has tbld us of his observations of tho drunkenness. Insolence, turbulence and gambling that went on In congress before tho civil war. Even Tammany Is moro reputable than It was when Tweed and Wood controlled It. Bad as wo still are, our election compaisns aro less abuslvo than they were when the two Adamses wero running for president. Never wero our pcoplo less bound by mere considera tions of party nor more loyal to prln clplo than In this generation. Cleveland was first and I'attlson twice elected gov ernor In protest of boss leadership, and McKlnley holds his present ofllce through tho revolt of men who preferred principle to party. In Great Britain political brlb. ery and corruption havo been extin guished, ond In this country large prog ress has been mado In tho same direction, As for licentiousness, thore has not been a popular novelist for fifty years so ri bald nnd obscene as were Fielding and Smollett. In whom our great-grandmothers delighted. No; we aro not going back ward, and one must bo Ignorant of his tory who thinks so. There aro battles yet to be won; but they aro being foupht. Tho ago I searching for fact nnd rising In morals by tho process, end among tho best servitors of tho cauie aro tho people who wrlto our novels. ALASKA AS AN INVESTMENT. H. S. Canflold in Tlmes-Hcratd. Pretty nearly everybody knows what Alaska cost us. William II. Seward signed tho treaty of annexation March 30, 1SCT. It was ratified on tho 20th of Juno of that year and tho territory was turned over to a forco of United States soldiers on Oct. 9 at Bltka. Tho town was then called New Archangel. The prlco paid was $7,200,000. Tho $7,000,000 was for the land. It Is not often that ono hears what the $200,000 wns for. That sum went to llusslan trading companies who had received concessions from their govern ment. To them It wns so much money picked up in tho middle of tho road, slnco It did not cost them anything, but they wero much out of pocket, all tho same. Becauso of this there Is grumbling about tho Alaska sale In Bussla to this day. Often somo fellow, whoso fnther wos a. fur trader, will get full of vodkl and de nounco tho "crime of '67." Of course they havo not heard of tho "crime of '73." While the prlco paid for Alaska Is gen erally known, few pcoplo aro aware of tho tremendous roturns irom me lanu oi snow nnd seals. It has paid for Itself many times over and Its career ns a rev enue producer Is In Its Infancy. Tho fact Is that Alaska has given back moro than its purchnso price In whalebone alone. Tho returns from this article wero $7,000, 000 In 1890. They are now something llko $9,000,000. o Alaska has paid us to date $103,000,000. This enormous sum hns been derived from furs, herring, salmon, cod, Ivory, whalebone and gold. At the time of tho last consus the United States had taken out $70,000,000. Slnco then we have been enriched by $27,000,000. Of this $20,000,000 hns been gold nnd tho remainder from other products. These nro giant figures, but they aro the exact truth. Tho first actual settlement of that wonderful coun try will begin noxt spring. Tho sum total of what It will add to tho world's wealth In the coming years passes conjecture. It will be n pllo of money, mountainous and sublime. fl it Is a singular fact that the existence of gold In quantities along the tributaries of the Yukon was known to a few men n century ond a half ago. The truth has boon held back by tho fur trading com panies. They were not after minerals and they feared the ruin of their Indus try, which wns In Itself a gold mine. Trappers, explorers and men who lived with the Indians were forbidden to tell what they knew on pain of death. Tho Bussla Fur company did summarily shoot one man who grew excited with drink nnd blabbed. That denth Is still remem bered In Alaska, having been passed from mouth to mouth, as is the mnnner of un lettered peoples. Other fur companies havo done nothing to develop the coun try nnd havo kept their lips sealed. They foresaw tho effect of a torreht of Immi gration. Such things cannot bo hidden, however. The secret Is out at last. o It Is a prevalent Idea that tho Alasknn territory produces only gold nnd things of tho sen, but this Is wrong. Even In Klondike, which Is far removed from tho mollifying Influences of tho Japnncso cur rent, hardy vegetnbles grow In profusion, although cauliflower and asparagus will not ripen. Hny is ns high as a man's head. When tho country comes to bo better known It will be found capable of making many things for humanity now unthought of. Although, for some undls coverable reason, reports have gono abroad that there Is no game, the fact remains that there Is plenty of It. Moose, elk and cariboo, or tho American rein deer, abound. Every river Is stocked with fish. No mnn should starve who has a hook and a flint-lock musket. THE CABINET AND CONGRESS. From the Times-Herald. Those who believe that our government would be strengthened nnd our legisla tion be made moro efllcnclous by allovv Ing the heads of departments to help legislate aro Impelled to this conclusion by the Irresponsible character of our gov ernment, which Is so divided that nobody can tell who Is to blame. This desire for a moro responsible government Is accen tuated by a study of the British system, where the premier and thoso who serve with him are selected by the house of commons, and whore the members of the cabinet must go to tho country and with the members of the house achieve victory or defeat. Between the English cabinet and houso there Is community of Inter est and community of danger. o In our government the only legal con nection between tho cxecutlvo nnd heads of departments and the legislature, be tween tho administration and tho con gress, Is by written communications, stat ing plans and propositions, needs and re quirements. It Is contended by mnny that If heads of departments wero given heats on the floor of tho houso and sen ate and the right to introduco bills and participate In debate the president would be.ablo to gather about him tho strong est men In the nation who could, by their Influence and power, add Immeasurably to tho grasp which both house and sen ate would havo on public questions. o But Speaker Beed contends, In tho Il lustrated American, that this plan would be destructive of our representative form of government. It is Mr. Heed's belief that wo cannot adopt any feature of the British system without accepting It In ItB entirety. Our members of the cabinet aro appointed by the president nnd are not directly nmenablo to the peo ple, and cannot bo reached for any wrong ndvlco they might give to the sennto or house. Men so situated, In Mr. Heed's opinion, would havo but Httlo Influence. In legislation, but would have an unjust and mighty power In distributing the patronage of their departments. It Is also urged by Mr. Beed as an additional ob Jectlon to copying tho British system that In this country moro than anywhere elso a member represents his district, nnd even though he wero appointed by tho president a member of his cabinet ho would still bo amenable to his homo In fluences, where his political future Is de termined, and not to the houso or tho senate or to the people, TOLD BY THE STARS.
