Address changed as often as desired. llunliiraa Outlook. Notwithstanding the midsummer seaton Is always the dullest In the year for trade, the steady Improvement In business kept up last week. Bradstredt's reports that the early fall demand for sta pie merchandise ivhlch was announced the previous week Increased. A special Investigation shows that increased purchases by country merchants In the west, have Increased business with western Jobber* 10 t<? 15 per cent, compared with the fall trade at the same period last year. The Improvement among the woolen manufacturers is also more noticeable, and a number of the large trunk line railroads report that they are carrying more merchandise than at this period for three years past. Practically no gain was made in the coal strike last week and in consequence not so many factories und mills were obliged to close on account of a shortage of coal as were expected to close. The outlook for an early settlement cf the strike holds out the hope that all the coal needed will shortly be available. The hope Is based on the renewed activity promised this week by the strike leaders, and the indications that events aie ten Jing to a situation which promises a settlement of the wage differences in a number of the districts. The financial situation is very llttlo disturbed. The Financial Chronic!* of New York says of it that, notwithstanding the coal strike looked more serious the early part of last week, notwithstanding the bears have been doing their very best to bring on a reaction which they claim was due, and notwithstanding gold shipments in considerable an' .11 ir have been marie, the stock market now seems to defy the efforts to cheek it The Chronicle says: "Bear in mind thit It was only Tuesday night that Secretary Gage made nis aaaress, anu mai uu?j after thnt address had been made could the public understand how much the President's message meant as a feature of the coming reform movement. Now that It Is seen clearly that there Is to b? a strong effort made at tho aiming pension of Congrcsrf^o reorganize our payer money system, the markets develop new strength. Push on the good work, and the activity wp have now will be as nothing In comparison with the buoyancy the future will have In reserve." There Is very little in the course of the stock and commercial markets of last week to Justify the Idea advanced by some that the currency discussion will discourage business enterprise. Tho general faith among business men Is that the administration's programme for reform will be upon safe lines that will cause no disturbance and will bo In the direction of a sound financial system. It Is only when the soundness of the currency is threatened that discouragement comes. Happily, whatever reforms are to be proposed will not be on that line, and a discussion und a settlement of the principles to enter Into n sound money arrangement con only result In the adoption of a . Jtisfactory plan. These things being true, it may bo said that, the tariff question having been settled, the future months will be comparatively free from agitation# which might disturb business. A I'crf Inrnl I'olnf. The xon of an Ainorlcnn citizen Is in trouble In Uorimany under peculiar circumstances. Alfrod Wessiing, the young man In question, was drafted Into tho Herman army, notwithstanding he had n release from allowance to tho Oerman emperor. One day last week a sergeant of his company struck him n blow for mme potty offense, and, rein-iitlng tho Insult, the American knocked down tho sergeant and fled, taking refuge In tho American consulate. Acting upon tho advlco of the consul ho returned to tho regiment and Is now under arrest and awaiting trial. The offense of efriklng a superior officer Is punhhrd severely In the Herman nrmy and young Wessllng will probably by given th" iiPiinl hard sentence, lie h guilty of th" charge, although tho Amerloan consul at Ifnnover, where the Incident occurred, has appealed to our atubasMdor at Horlln In bis behalf. The point which Is moiil Interesting, and Is of more Importance than the question of (he guilt of YVmsllng. Is, what rlghl had tlio Oerman government to drofi a son of an American cltlitcn Into tho military service In spite of his protest, Tho father had been released from allegiance to the emporar, and the young son was under no obligation to serve. The investigation of the ease by the American ambassador should, and very likely will, take a wider range than inquiry into the mere fisticuff incident. If there are more c??es of the sons of American citizens being forced to serve in the German army this government should know about them. Astute Air. Gioriuau. The platform adopted by the Democratic convention of Maryland la a notable demonstration of the embarrassed position in which the Democrats find themselves at present. It Is so absolutely meaningless that it 19 a confession, not a weakness alone, but of the fact that the Democracy is without any other Issue than the desire to gain the offices. In Maryland Senator Gorman, who waa deposed from power as a bo?s by the uprising against him in 1894, and who straddled the silver issue last year, la a candidate for re-election, and is to make a supreme effort to recover his lost prestige and restofe the supremacy of the corrupt Gorman ring of Maryland. The election of a legislature in his lnterents will be attempted and the platform of the convention was framed to catch all the voters. To do this It refrains from endorsing either the gold or silver side of the currency issue. The Philadelphia Inquirer says upon this point: The platform was his; If It was not drawn In nis own handwriting the senti menta wore at least ms, anil he u was who read the resolutions to the convention. One year ago Mr. Gorman presided over a similar gathering, and the gold standard was Indorsed. This year Mr. Gorman Is wlsheywashey and uncertain. ilo needs every Democratic vote. He dare not advocate aoid for fear of the few remaining silver ahouters, and he dare not Indorse free silver for fear of the gold men; hence he hesitates, wobbles and loses himself In the mazes of one of those magnificent straddles which all uncertain Democrats must clutch upon in the delusive hope of Having something from the waves which are pouring over the battered and wrecked Democratic craft. Hence the platform refrains from Indorsing either gold or silver, but declares for "honest money," the gold and sliver money of the constitution, and the coinage of both metals without discrimination against either." There is nothing about free silver or a ratio of 16 to 1 or any other ratio. There is simply a glittering generality, u fear to be strictly honest or dishonest, a striking IndeclBion?that Is all. Thus Maryland sets an example for the Democracy of other states who are afraid to tackle the money issue. They can steer entirely clear of It, and by so cowardly a course conf**9 defeat in advance. The Ohio Democrats, or rather frqo sllverltes, were bolder than this, but In view of the present situation in that slate it Is not Improbable that even they are wishing they had had the astuteness of the Maryland boss. If we are not mistaken, however, the many thousands of Democrats in Maryland who last year had the courage to cast their votes for honest money will force Mr. Gorman to show his hand, and announce his exact position on the currency question. Platform evasions will not satisfy them. Cuuracron* llaatlngt. It is fortunate, not only for the Republican party of Pennsylvania, but for the state Itself, that so courageous a man as Governor Hastings occupies the chief executive's office. He has been swinging his veto axe with splendid effect, and has not only saved to the stale treasury many thousands of dollars which were appropriated by a recklessly extravagant and profligate legislature, but has killed a number of very unjust bills. The most important piece of legislation of the latter class was the mercantile tax bill, which would have proved so great a hardship to the mercantile Interests of the state, and the passage of which raised a storm of indignation among the business men. In applying his veto power, In all cases the governor has shown a fearless Independence of the political schemers and bosses that has been positively refreshing. He Is being commended on all sides, outside of a certain circle of politicians, and Is popularizing himself dally among the people. The mercantile tax bill, the only excuse for which wan a need of revenue, was a proposition to place a tax on commerce and industry? a tribute levied to meet the extravagance of the legislatures, and In standing between these great Interests and the effort to raid the treasury Governor Hastings has displayed a manly courage which has attracted the attention of the whole country. The record he is making for himself may lead to great honors from the hands of an appreciative people. Keep your eye on Hastings. Comptroller Howler, who Is not unknown to fame, has over-ruled the courts nnd holds that United Btates deputy marshals are personal appointees of the marshal and can bo removed by him. Now, the question arises, can Mr. Howler's ruling set aside an Injunction Issued by a federal court? Republicans genrally will be glad to learn that, according to Mr. nowler, who Is the fame gentleman who tried to set aside an act of Congrens once, the Democratic ofllce deputies can be .removed, but what they want to know Is, which Is the authority whose mandate must be obeyed?Mr. Howler or the United Htates court? I. C. Halphsnyder, who was a candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination In this wtate hint year, and who clairn^l the place on the ground that ho was the only true blue ]( to 1 silver man asking the mpty honor, Is organizing a company lo go to the Alaska gold field*, If Mr. Halphsnyder doesn't "watch out" his loyalty to the l\>|KH.'ratle cause will be doubted. The attention of our free trade friends, who, a few days ago, were Indulging In certain prophecies, Is called to I he fact that Germany has derided not to retaliate upon the United States for the new tariff. It seems I hat Allen O, Meyers Is to manrtK'' John It. Mclean's i<enalorlal campaign, which adds another d ?i weight (o Iho I'opoerall'' situation In tho lluekeye slate. The Jjotiliivlllo Courier Journal thus calls attention lo tIllogical position of our frno sliver friend *: "They Insist that an Increase of the supply of 'primary' money slwtiys puis up prices of commodities, nnd yet tin y i xpi.^u Unit the III" crease of gold from the discoveries In Alaska only tends to put down the price of silver, which, according to thfcm, is only a commodity." 'Jlie It I slit hiulTiu filial. In order to save 800 lives Captain Slgiby, of the United States warship Maine, ran his hig vessel Into a pier in East river, and besides sinking the pier sank a number of freight car*. He only had a minute and a half in which to act, and had he not taken in the whole situation at once and given an order which he knew would result In the huge ram of the battle ship smashing into the pier, there would have been a disaster in which hundreds of lives on hoard of un || excursion steamer might have been lout. The pier and the freight cars were of small account, compared with the human ~ freight on the steamer, and the fact that they suffered loss Instead is not the ~ point. It was the presence of mind and the llrm action, regardless of what the consequences would be to the warship, * In order to save the excursionists, which W marked Captain Slgsby as Just the sort of a cool-headed navigator to make a = good naval olHcer. The statement in Saturday evening's ^ News that the Injunction Issued by j, Judge Ma&on at Fairmont, wmcn nas caused no much comment, wan made permanent was not true. The Injunc- j!t tion wa* only temporary, and conse- ti quently the rather unjust comments U made by the evening puper were uncalled for, p ti While wheat closed at 807& cents Sat- pi urday, the value of the silver In a silver hi dollar remained at about 45 cents, and Mr. Bryan and "Coin" and all the other u gentlemen who baaed a campaign on the ni theory that the prices of silver and wheat were twins are not saying a word. President McKlnloy acted as umpire in tn a golf game, played by young ladle*, Sat- w urday, and, strange to eay, notwithstanding he didn't know a thing about T: the sport, he gave satisfaction. Thut was a genuine case of McKiniey luck. ^ The Ohio Gold Demorats will meet at Columbus Thursday and the organlza- ni Hon seems to be very much alive. ci CURRENT COMMENT.
