Honry Clews & Co.'s weekly state moeut is perfaced this week with timely observations as to the effects of the monetary agitation upon the business of the country: Wall Street continues to lack any fix- ed basis of confidence for transient op- erations. - Material conditions are sat- isfactory; such as the prospectspt the crops, the earnings of the railroads and the movement in the larger depart- ments of merchandise; and the ex- ports of gold are viewed as but a natur- al movement. Virtually the sole o_b- stacle in the way of an active and ris ing market is the condition of politics. 'That element of suspense is, howgver, strong enough to obstruct operations, and it exposes the market to attacks under which prices easily yield. It is a factor which nobody ventures to re- gist, and its natural effect is to induce realizing among small holders and a steady fall in prices; while the larger aud stronger holders generally hold on to their stocks. With such an issue as now profoundly the country from end to end, an unsettled and waiting feeling in speculative circles is perhaps all that may be expected. Wall Street is _the point at. which the greatest sensitive ness of the silver agitation centres. The question about which our millions of people are so excitedly occupying themselves is neither nor less than- what shall be the kind and value of the money in which our thousands of mil- lions of national, corporate and private long obligations shall be settled, and what the currency in which the com- merce of this great and radidly grow- ing notion shall be transacted-the money of the most stable and prosper- ous countries? or that of semi-civilized, dig rusted, and bankrupt nations? The crisis of deciding such a .question is one of the most important that can be- fall a country. The mere fact that a large portion of our people should be intent upon forcing the acceptance of a debased and fluctuating metal as stand- ard money is a discouraging symptom; for it shows to what dangerous ends an ignorant free sufferage may be prosti- tuted. That aone is enough to pro- duce a deep unsettlement of feeling among responsible property-owning citizens; for the same incapacity for judging upon complex money questions may easily, at any time, imperil the country under the settlement of other large questions affecting the welfare of the nation. Moderator Withrow's sermon at the Presbyterian General Assembly in Saratoga yesterday was a new depart- ure in that it made a plea for peace and work. Among cther notable say- ings was the following: \The spirit of the Church of Christ should not be that 'of the 'lion of the Tribe of Judah,' but that of the Lamb of God. Zoologists believe that in 100 years the lion tribe will be extinct. The world will get along well enough without lions and the churches can get along without the men who have the lion's spirit.\ 'This is the first olive branch of any appreci- able size that has been put forth since the famous Briggs trouble began. -~ ogee _ The Lockport Union-Sun says that this \is no time for Democrats to quar- rel.\ But that is all they will be called upon to do for many years yet. -Buf- falo Commercial. Judging from the fierce manner in which the Commercial hammers the machine and Tom Platt's replies, the Ropublicans will do. their full quota of quarreling from now out. Platt says McKinley can not be elected although the Commercial and Express assure us that the Ohio man's nomination is a foregone conclusion. Democrats will be well occupied right along in laugh- ing at the Republican scrap, working for a deserved victory and reaping the rewards thereof. mono- 4 Gre nw _ Senator Teller of Colorado now pre- dicts that California, Colorado, Wyom- ing, Nevada, Washington and probably Kansas will be taken out of the Repub- lican column on the silver issue. The fulfillment of that prophesy will be doubly galling to the Republicans in view of the fact that the Democratic candidate for president will very proba- bly go through on a sound money plat- form. mn nna @ an ___ According to a Niagara Falls Re- publican they voted for Morton dele- gates up there, although wanting Mc- Kinley, simply to save certain charter amendment bills. 'That was only one of the many transactions in the Legisla- tiveExchange to which we have several times alluded.

He proposes to contest in the courts Governor Morton's decision that placed the 60 special agents in the non-competitive - class.

'The orthodox hell in this case would fit the crime, after human justice had taken its full course, The Buffalo Express demands that the whipping post be wiped off the sta- tute-book of Delaware. It should re- main for at least three classes of crimi- nals: The wife-beater, the cruelty to animals fiend and the tack-thrower. The whipping post thiis applied would be a good thing in every state. MAY 26 The Buffalo Courier has the follow- ing to say of the Buffalo Express' com- ments on the interview the latter had with Warner Miller: . With reference to Warner Miller and his recent interview attacking Platt, the Express says: + \Warner Miller has not repudiated that interview, nor, so far as we know complained of unfair treatment at the hands of the Epress. Mr. Matthews has not heard from him since Miller broke his engagement with him. No excuse has been offered for the fail- ure to keep that appointment. 'The only apparent reason for it is that Mil- ler becmae afraid of the sound of his own voice. He is notoriously a man without a backbone. He wants to do what is right, but lacks the courage. After the publication of the first inter- view, he became frightened at his own boldness in attacking the terrible Platt, and ran away. 'That is all there is to it.\ This is a good description of Warner Miller. If the McKinley men are seri- ously thinking of fighting Platt to a finish, they should not pay much atten- tion to Miller and his weak-kneed fol- lowers; they should rely chiefly on younger men who have not been tang- led up in all sorts of political trades and who have no reason to fear Platt's sharp tongue and secret wire-pulling. as a rule, compromises with Platt have resulted in advantages to Platt, and corresponding losses to his party opponents. He long ago ceased to fear Warner Miller, Chauncey M. Depew, and others like them who lack nerve. THE TRUE CAUSE OF GLOOM. 'The continued uncertainty about the adjournment of Congress naturally casts a gloom: over the whole country- Lockport Journal. This statement is by a leading Repub- lican journal, whose editor was form- erly regent of the university and is at present state civil service commissioner. One would imagine that the Lockport editor's declaration was concerning a Democratic Congress. But it happens that this Congress is a Republican body by a large majority, and it is therefore the action of a Republican body which is \casting a gloom over the whole coun- try.\ The Journal is to be commended for sizing up the Situation accurately and for frankly admitting the truth re- garding the policy of the Republican Congress. Courier. THE BEST SALESMAN. Many of the mistakes people make are because of lack of information When a man has anything to sell to the people, unless they know it, they are apt to make the mistake of pur- chasing, elsewhere. He consults his own interests by employing salesmen to tell those who call what bargains he has to offer. But such salesmen can talk to but one or two at a time. The newspaper is salesman talking to thou- ands at once. Compared with the cost of any other kind of salesman newspa- \pers advertisements are as cents com- pared with dollars. 'There is no sales- man so cheap, because no. salesman can be anywhere nearly as effective- Rome Sentinel. Statistics prepared by the Bureau of Internal Revenue show that during the mouth of April, 1896, the total receipts from all sources were $11,481,295, as follows: Spirits, $6,189,822; - tobaceo, $2,872,005; fermented liquors, $2,851,- 695; olcomargarine, $71,524; miscellan- eous, $45,579. 'This shows an increase in the receipts from spirits of $687,113; from fermented liquors, $269,215, and a decrease of $89,904 from tobaceo, $5,- 191 from oleomargarine. and $26,982 from miscellaneous sources. 'The net gain for the month from all sources was $824,230. A notable feature of the report is that during the month of Ap- ril the receipts from cigars and che- roots increased $5,587 and from cigar- ettes $28,202. During the past ten months the receipts form cigarettes ex- ceeded those from cigars by $108,500, wheih shows a marked increase in the consumption of cigarettes as compared with cigars. -Bradstreets. A «Nebraska man recently had his own way regarding his funeral ser- vices, although out of the usual order, He was ill and knew he could not live, so he insisted upon having his funeral sermon delivered while he was yet alive, that he might know just what was said of him. 'The preacher natur- ally demurred at this, but the sick man maintained that as it was to be his fun- eral he should have his way. And he did. Bishop Ireland, a man of peace, has had the courage to say a good word for war. It was high time somebody said it, for war, abstractly considered, which is often a deliverance and a blessing, was fast becoming a commercial boo, and patriotism was afraid to utter its manliest convictions because it would incur the odium of jingoigm.- The Journal. j Sometimes a cloth dipped in very hot water and laid at the base of the brain will cure a troublesome headache.
