The Supremo court has decided emphatically In favor of the editor, who will no doubt proceed to roast the judicial candidate with the flames of a seven-time" heated furnace. Railway a Barometer. The Minneapolis Times calls atten tion' to the fact that the railroad Is one of the best of barometers Indicating the state of business. The benellts of the great crop yield and the heavy foreign demand there for, with prices for wheat double those of a year ago, are apparent In all lines of business activity, and notably so In the increased earnings of western rail roads. The bank clearings of the coun try for the past two weeks made a record In magnitude of gain but enor mous increases In railroad traffic and the practical application of these fac tors in Increasing dividends, are par ticularly encouraging. The Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul road about ten days ago declared an extra dividend of 1 per cent, on the stock, In addition to the regular 2 per cent, semi-annual disbursement. The investor, therefore, sees a 4 per cent, stock changed to at least a 5 per cent, basis, and presumably to C, for If the road could earn, as it did, better than C per cent. In 1S0C, what can It earn In such a year as 1S97, with so promising a year as 189S following it? In other words, this great grain carrying road is the first to respond to the radical change In business and to share among Its stockholders the benellts already 'derived In the few short months of re vival, and confident of ability to main tain the Increased disbursement. For the first time In over fourteen years St. Paul stock has sold above $100, Its par value. As a safe 4 per cent. Ptock it Bhould bo worth par; what Its Investment value Is on a C per cent, basis the Investor will de termine, while Wall street will occupy itself in speculation as to a possible C per cent, per annum basis of evidence. The Northern Pacific Is showing a greatly improved condition and the traffic of all the western roads shows most encouraging gains. These are examples of the meaning of the "return of confidence," and there are many others. The improve ment of the business of the railroads Is nn carl.v demonstration of current revival of business. With the passing of the government's financial compli cations, with the unwholesome and dis turbing tariff agitation ended for a few years nt least, business at last has a chance, nnd aided by nature Is im proving It to the full, and thus early the substantial results uro In sight. Funds are pouring, and will pour forth more freely Into the channels of In vestment nnd trade; new enterprises will bo undertaken. Improvements will be made to established industries, plant and equipment will be enlarged and muny more men will find employment, once the great bulk of idle capital starts forth Into activity. Philadelphia Is now compensated for all her worry over the gas lease. Her cricketers have beaten tlio Britons by four wickets. Question of Woman's Rights. Tho civilized world anxiously awaits the result of Mayor Harrison's latest experiment in giving tho management of the street cleaning Into the hands of a woman. The mayor Is foxy In placing her at tho head of a force of twenty men. If she were directing a -squad of women In tho cleaning opera tions the work would probably pro gress slowly, as their Ideas of the proper way to do It would clash. No tvvto women ever agreed on tho exact method of cleaning house and twenty one women would doubtless have twenty-one different ways of cleaning tho streets. If the boss decided that the procedure should bo bias, some other woman would insist on having It laid out In gores nnd would want the front breadth for herself. Tho next would pout If she couldn't have a committee appointed to consider tho advisability of tearing up tho whole pavement and cleaning It on both sides, while some of tho others would disagree on the principle of cleaning In front of saloons. If a woman Is to run tho street clean ing department It Is wise to give her dominion over men. The New York salesman wjio walked out of a Chicago hotel one morning last week and could not be found by the aid of Chicago detectives, official and private, was surprised to discover on his return to New York that ho had been tho cause of much anxiety In three cities, had nearly driven his fiancee crazy by his disappearance and ivas centrally believed by his friends V havv (been murdered. All this was (cause )f e telegram that never came to his sweetheart, telling of a sudden call to llaltlmorc. As their wedding day was fixed for October 0, the young woman In question naturally was con siderably exercised over her lover's mysterious departure. This in an end ing to a romance that may well bo Initiated by modern story writers who regard the finale of "divided by doath" or "false to his vows" ns their un erring choice. It Is growing to bo a certainty that Oenernl Woodford nnd the Duke of Tetuan occupied, themselves during their interview in awed admiration of each other. About nil that can bo gathered from the general thus far la that the duko Is "such a pleasant man," while the duko protests that lie finds General Woodford a delightful person. Just why thu Queen Regent should have given such a "sympathetic wel come" to tho general Is not explained, unless by the possibility that tho Span iards Intend to bring him and his mis sion to grief. The Tvvlllghtof the Seal, It Is probable that tho next decade will witness almost tho entire exter mination of the Alaskan seal. These Interesting creatures will soon bo found only In the museums of natural history and tho precious skins once so lavishly worn by the curled darlings of society will bo but a memory, for unllko old lace, diamonds and stiff brocades, seal skin cloaks will not bear handing down for many generations, since when a sealskin garment begins to grow shabby nothing in the world can show wear more frankly. While tho loss to commerce from tho extermination of the Alaskan seal will bo great, Individually speaking, the real loss to tho country will not bo worth mourning, for tho seal menauerle up in the IU'liiinir sea has been a very expensive luxury for tho United States, not to mention Its tendency to produce annual quarrels between America and Kngland. But as regards preserving the animal for the interest and In struction of future generations, this country should naturally feel an in tense desire, although Just why a great effort to increase Canadian profits should be made Is not clearly seen. It Is unmistakably true that for some years an enormous sum ban been ex pended by the United States for tho protection of nn Industry of which Great Britain and Canada have been tho chief ones to take advantage. It Is no wonder that Kngland is not wild ly anxious to participate In a confer ence to be hold for the purpose of ad justing or revising the sealing regulations. MacMonnies' poor Bacchante is still In disfavor. Tho AV. C. T. U. of Kings county object to having her placed In the Metropolitan museum. Bo3ton will now feel vindicated. The objectors to this work of art should make a little trip to tho Metropolitan gallery nnd pass somo more lcsolutions, Insisting that mosquito netting bo placed on one or two of Hans Makart's divinities. Not a Sanitary Device. The ProvidenceJournal sounds a note of warning against tho proposed plan of utilizing garbage for animal food In the following: The feeding of city garbage to swine is one of the practices that sanitarians are, endeavoring to abolish. There is good reason for objecting to this method of swill disposal. It has been shown by the Department of Agricul ture that garbage-fattened pork Is re sponsible for disease and death, and as pork Is a common article of food It Is Important to prohibit whatever tends to make it more undesirable for the table. The hog's reputation for un cleanllnes is due In part to the man ner in which ho is kept. The popular notion Is that he enjoys eating stuff that other animals will not touch, nnd the result is that the hog Is obliged to eat things unfit for the stomach of n, self-respecting creature. He would eat wholesome food, but he can't get It In consequence of tho belief that the sour and half-decayed matter collected from city back yards is good enough for producing pork, and, while this is bad for the hog, it may bo even more un fortunate for those who eat pork chops and hum,. The doctors for years have pointed out tho dancers lurking in pork not cooked thoroughly. Trichinosis, a dis ease which kills thirty-live per cent, of those attacked by it, Is caused by eat ing pork In which tho parasites have not been killed by extreme heat. A hot lire will render infected pork harm less, but notwithstanding the oft-repeated warnings of doctors and health boards, there are hundreds of people who never think of the necessity of cooking pork through. Many unknow ingly take tho chances of contracting a dlseaso which will have a course of threo or four months It it does not prove fatal. It Is, therefore, the duty of municipal governments, if possible, to protect consumers of pork from tho consequence of Ignorance or careless ness In tho kitchen; and, although the local supply ot pork may bo small, it Is Important to bear In mind that epi demics of trichinosis have been traced to a few diseased boss. Tho now process of treating garbage may not have tho approval ot a few Individuals who want cheap food for their pigs, but it will bo commended by the thousands who are at the mercy of unscientific cooks, and besides It should bo adopted on the ground that cleanly methods are conducive to com fort and health. Oil fields designated by a spiritualist geologist in Cattaraugus county, N. Y more than forty years ago now prom ise to yield rich returns, Tho locality designated by tho "geologist" Is now being prospected with every reason to hopo for profitable boring. The Increase or Gold. From present appearances the In crease In the production of gold Is liable to cause a revolution In the cur rency of tho world. According" to an exchange, one ot tho notable features of tho money of the present and the onu likely to seriously affect monetary conditions In the near future, Is tho astonishing Increase In the production of gold, us compared with silver, In nil tho great mining Holds of tho world. This Is not because of any increased demand for k11 over former years or of decreased demand for silver, which Is always markotablo abroad, but be cause gold Is being discovered so much faster than silver, the proportion of gold to silver In tho world's coinage materlat Is constantly Increasing, nnd gold promises to bo still more plenti ful in the future, Homo peoplo bollovo that In n fow ycart gold will ho so plentiful that gold coins, hardened with some cheap nmalgam, covering nil de nominations and having atnplo dura bility, could bo put Into circulation, each coin having tho standard weight and fineness In It. In any event, tho Increased production of gold Is bound to have a very appreciable effect upon the financial urrangementa of the future. A somewhat remarkable Jail delivery took place In Salt Lake City last week when n general amnesty was granted to all persons. Tho occasion was the triennial housecleanlng, when It was decided to fumigate the cells. About twenty offenders were thus released, most of whom were plain drunks and tramps, although a number was doing time for larceny. Then a war was made on tho remaining occupants, a horde of vermin, that had made Jail life no dream even for a tramp. The disappearance ot a governor from such a state as Michigan would seem to be something to cause con siderable uneasiness, particularly when It Is Governor Plngree who is lost. No one ever was able to lose Altgeld nor Tillman during their terms of ofllco and It would be difllcult for as big a man aa Governor Hnstlnga to go far out of sight of tho people, but It Is evident that the Mlchlganders should put a tag on their governor when they let him out on vacation. Rlcycle teachers have troubles of their own. The Louisville man who went off riding with a pupil and was pursued by an angry wife, also awheel, Is probably willing to testify to this assertion. The wife knocked tho other woman down several times and then proceeded to "do" her husband. When she had llnishod with him, he was ready to accompany her home, although his former companion was left weeping by tho roadside. , The testimony at the Luetgert trial deduces the fact that the sausage maker In prosperous times paid his wife tho munificent sum of $3 a week. It would not be surprising of she did pack her hand-bag and go away when the prospect of a reduction became evident. TOLD BY THE STARS, Dnlly Horoscope Drawn byAJncclius, Tlio Tribune Astrologer.

From tho Lancaster Era. No worso evil can possibly fall upon the industry and commerce of a nation than a badly-depreciated currency, whether it bo a flat paper or ono con sisting of a debased coin. Tho Republic of San Domingo Is in that fix at tho present moment. Tho San Domingo dol lar is worth only thirty or thlrty.flvo cents, and has been almost displaced by American nnd Mexican money, of which about $5,000,000 aro In circulation there. By a decree of the president no moro of this foreign money will be ndmitted Into tho country, whllo that which Is already thero is forbidden to circulate. Tho cir culation of tho debased money of San Domingo Itself will now bo enforced. A more certain or expeditious way of ruin ing tho trade of that Itepublic could not well bo devised. From tho Springfield Union. Under tho Wilson law, salt was ad mitted frco Into the United States nnd tho salt Industry In tho western part of Nuvv York suffered seriously Wages vvero reduced nnd many mines were Idle. Tho DIngley bill, tho awful instrument intended to promote American Industries, imposed a duty of elslit cents a hundred pounds on salt, In bulk, and twelve contu wb.cn In packages. Note tho result. Thu salt mines aro busy, wages .vro some what higher and thers nro moro men em ployed, o i DOES WARM BLOOD CAUSE CRIA1E ? Providence Journal: It will bo instructive to see whether tho "epidemic" of crlmo which has caused' moro or less comment during the summer will bo continued now that cooler weather Is at hand. The presumption has been that extremo heat has something to do with tho commission of murder and other gross forms of misdeeds, and surely tho great number of lynchlng3 at tho South, where tho temperature has been highest, and tho many and vurled crimes of a Ben hattonal character In Now Kngland havo suggested a connection of somo sort be tween them and th'o mercury. It is not Elrange, indeed. If when a man's blood Is heated his brain Is correspondingly af fected, though Just how wo must leave, Ierhaps, to tho psychologists. HEAPING AS TIIEV HAVE SOWN. From the Detroit Tribune. Tho storm of popular Indignation which burst out In Greece upon tho reception of the terms ot settlement dictated by tho powers, recallB tho fact that It was In re sponse to popular clamor that tho na tion was plunged Into the foolhardy war at all. Tho soberer heads from tho king down knew brforo the opening ot hos tilities as well os they know now what the outcome of the war was to be. If tho mob which precipitated the attack upon Turkey reasoned that help 'would be forth coming from somewhero to lick tho Turk, or at least tho Turk would not bo per mitted to do Gieece uny great harm. Tho mob has had Its way, and tho mob is reap. Ing a bitter fruit us all mobs do. With that Inflnlto check which all mobs pos sets, "tho people" are even now trying to cast all tho blame upon tho government Just as they did when the war reverses began to demonstrate that tho Greeks were going to get a sovere trouncing In any event, and annihilation in caso the powers did not step between them and the Turks. Mass meetings to be held all over tho provinces as well as in Athens bid fair to drive the government Into some worse-extreme than any that has yet boen fallen Into. It Is duo that the terms of poaco are not what any conquered people would voluntarily chooBe, but If wo eon. cede that the loser ill such a def.pcrato Cccno as tho Greeks tried to play ought to suffer something In cape of failure, It Is difficult to see why they should not now ocqulcsco and try to do better In tho ru tin e. It Is hardly posslblo thAt, having failed to get the powers by the oars In tho first p)acc, any course which may now bo pursued wlll bring about this re sult. Grcoco must submit, for It Is qulto evident that Kuropo Is well united In tho matter of making her submit, 1IUST Ol' INVESTMENTS. From the Troy Times. Ever since tho rise In American seourl ties began a few months ago the English financial Journals have been doing their best to bear the inarkot and persuade Eng lish Investors to plaeo their money cite where arywherc, In fact, than In tho United States. Tho persistent attacks which havo been mado en American In vestmcntD seem Ill-natured, but thero Is certainly sufficient excuse for them One of tho legacies left by tho Bryan cam paign of repudiation Is to be found In the suspicion with which all American securi ties ure regarded In London. A fow years ago English money wus scut across the ocean by tho million in onltr to secure tho profits whlsh American InvoHimcnts realized. With tho coming of t'ho business depression much of the capital Invested win withdrawn, but tho withdrawal wouM have been only temporary, had not the silver shoutcrs Intervoncd to bring discredit upon tho financial cyatem of the United States. Under tho circumstances It Is not par ticularly surprising that the English pa peri havo been advising tholr readers not to trust their money to American Invest ments, b'lt nevertheless tho advlco Is both Ill-timed and bad Notwithstanding that London has been a steady seller ot American securities, prices havo aa a rule steadily advanced. Occasional flurries duo to manipulation by speculators do not count. Even a superficial knowledge of tho causes contributing to this advanco shows conclusively that It has been based upon tanglblo evidences of prosperity. For example, the railroads of the country did a business last month exceeding IV 000,000,000, as against $3,860,000,000 during tho same month In 180o. Is thero any rea son for surprise, therefore, that railroad stocks lncroasod In value? Yet the Eng lish seem to have an Idea that the ad vanco has been purely arbitrary and that prices aro sure to fall again. Perhaps If they had not within tho last few years been so badly victimized by the Kaffir buibMo they would have a little inoro faith In tho Inducements which Ameri can enterprises hold forth to Investors. The advlco which tho EngllBh Investors have received and. acted upon is certain ly bad, looking at the matter from their point of view, but from tho American standpoint It con hardly bo regarded as unfortunate. The English 0oney that was withdrawn from 'this country will In evitably return. It may be a matter ot months or even vears before It comes back, but tho memory of tho big dividends and profltnblo Interest cannot be oblit erated, and eventually will lead tho Eng lish investors to or.co more seek American Investments. They will find then that tho Mocks which they were so willing to dispose of cannot bo repurchased, except at a considerable advance, and the differ ence In price will go Into the pockets of Americans. THE IIAIHT OF SAVING. From Leslie's Weekly. Now that tho good times aro marching upon-us, filling the farm and tho factory, nnd making tho peoplo cheerful and tho country glad, it might bo well for all to remember that tho best way to profit by tho depression of tho last four years is to save something out of tho new pros perity for any other possible season of idleness and distress. With the vast abundance that this country has known, the habit ot economy ba3 come slowly. Many havo seen tho wisdom of It, and they aro our rich peoplo and the owners of our land3 and industries and banks and various profitable properties. But tho great) majority of people havo lived up to their Incomes, and when the wages stopped.or tho salary ceased, grim want stalked In. And so good men and well bred women had to go to charity to keep from starvation; had to sacrlflco their prldo and accept of the public bounty, because in their days of prosperity they had forgotten tho future. Saving comes easily when It Is once bo gun. Do not spond moro than you earn. When Peter Cooper earned a dollar ho lived on fifty cents of It, and tho other successful men will testify how hard tho struggle was to savo the first money and how easy It was nftcr tho habit had been formed. Wo aro going to havo four of tho greatest years tho world has ever known, but no ono should let that pros pect delude him Into spending all ho gets. Thero is safety only In saving. MILLION'S SPENT FOIt 1IUTTONS From tho New York Evening World. Tho small boy who delights to collect buttons may plcaso himself with tho thought that a king once shared his weakness. That was Louis XIV, In 1CS5, when his crazo was at Its highest, ho spent no less than JOOO.000 In this strango form of Indulgence, Among tho items of which this oxpendlturo was made up, are tho following: Aug. 1, 1CS5, two dia mond buttons, value 67.SC8 fracs; seventy flvo diamond buttons, value GSG.S03 francs; on tho buttons for a slnglo vest he spent 1200,000. Of tho 332 "boutonnlcros" used 162 contained flvo diamonds each, and tho remaining 12 were slnglo diamonds. It Is estimated that during his llfetlmo this foolish monarch spent no less than to, 000,000 on buttons alone. PEST OF THE SOUTH. From the Philadelphia Ledger. It is not tlio better class of cltizenB In Now Orleans that Is trying to burn a schoolhouso because It has been selected ns a yellow fover hospital but tho hotter class does not seem to bo able to re strain tho class that Is doing this idiotic mischief except by nctual force and a great deal of It.
