Secretary Root's address at Utica, flaying William Randolph Hearst will go down in history as one of the most masterly efforts in modern oratory. From start to finish it was an attack upon the democratic candidate for governor of New York and at no point did the speaker descend from the high plane of dignity with which he opened his remarks. The result was that every blow carried weight and struck home. A better foil for Mr. Root's argument could not have been introduced than the Quotations he employed, which were culled from editorials printed in the Hearst newspapers. These, teeming as they were, with coarse and abusive vituperation directed against the most honored citizens of the nation, stood out in glaring contrast with the virile and masterly censure of their author,1 which formed the entire subject matter of the secretary of state's address. The limitations of space forbid entering into the details of the speech, but possibly the most telling point made was that which had reference to the subject's 'congressional record which, summed up briefly was nil. The congressional records do not lie, and the speaker bared the editor-politician's uneventful official career with relentless clan's uneventful career with relentless and unerring statistics. He called attention to the fact that "during the three years he has been in congress, that body has been in session 467 days; there have been votes recorded by yea and nay. He was present and voting at but 23, present without voting at two, leaving 160 out of 1S5 roll calls from which ha was absent, and 442 out of 467 days of the legislative session when there is no evidence of his presence. 'HIs voice was heard in that congress In those three years but once, that for ten minutes in a personal matter regarding an article published in the New York American. He did not even contribute a motion to adjourn to the business in congress." The only important thing that Hearst ever did during his term as congressman, after all is said and done, seems to have been the drawing of $15,000 salary for his neglected service. In concluding this part of the address the speaker said: "It is of public interest to know that this man, who offers himself for a great public office on the strength of what he printed in his newspaper about legislative reforms and the duties of others, totally failed to perform his own duty and proved a worthless public . servant in a legislative office the only office he ever held." Secretary Root could not have chosen A better place than Utica. for the delivery of this notable address, that being situated in the very heart of a community which, for good, hard sense, for culture, brains and decency, stands second to none in the Empire state, or Indeed, in America. If his words do not boar fruit It will indicate that an apathy lias taken possession of the people of the state of New York, whleh will make them deserving of any fate that is in. store for them in the event Hearst is elected. WITH THE EDITORS. Greater Cnre in Railroading. The press of the country generally is Incisive In its comments on the recent disaster' at Atlantic City. There is much agreement in the eumment that greater care should be taken. The New York World voices this thus: The inexcusable accident on the Pennsylvania's new electric line to At lantic City recently would never have happened if the train had not charged the bridge at considerable speed after the customary slowing down. But for the universal impatience which has caused "making time" to be considered the first duty of every engineer or rnotorman the train could never have plunged into the thoroughfare. But there is a cause beyond and superior to reckless speed. It is imperfect equipment. The "Pennsylvania stand ard" has received some heavy blows of late. It is time for that great railroad to fix the responsibility for the wreck and to heal by greater care for the furture its wounded reputation. We disagree only as to "wounded reputation." We expect the great road to lead the way toward the general condition or reform In management and equipment and more painstaking that is surely coming to be demanded by the people. Senator by Direct Vote. The progress made by the movement to give the people a direct voice in the choice of United States senators may be seen from th- fact that twelve of the thirty mentioned vacancies to be filled this season have already been provided for by primary election. In Georgia, Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennesee and Arkansas In the south, and in

5 0 if i

Illinois and Oregon In the north primary elections have been made, and

South Carolina will be added to the list ; when the election is held In November. In Nebraska, Minnesota and South Dakota the primary election laws do not include senators, but the popular tendency is nevertheless in evidence as the state conventions declared who would be elected if the next legislature shall be republican, and in these states the senatorial question is practically settled. In the other states the old methods still obtain, but all the signs indicate that the old methods will not much longer continue. If the people cannot obtain the desired amendment to the fuderal constitution by which senators may be elected direct, they will insist upon having what is regarded as next best. Grand Itapids Herald. The fabled pot of gold at the end of the rainbow has never lost its fascination for the sons and daughters of men. Seven pages of advertisements of Kansas City mining companies most of them fakes of the boldest stump recently appeared in the Sunday edition of a New York newspaper. It is pitiful to learn that the victims in large part are widows who throw away the life insurance left them by their husbands in these fraudulent investments, and in all cases people who eannot afford to lose the money. That many persons making a pretense to respectability and looking people in the face whom they meet in the streets and in abodes which are supposed to be secure against the visitation of criminals, are engaged in this style of wicked plunder, and with the definite intent to plunder would not be believable in the absence of abundant proof to show that it is so. Kansas City Star. Mrs. Roosevelt In Church. If the example of the president's wife is to be followed, the wearing of gay plumage to church will be relegated to the list of things to be avoided. When Mrs. Roosevelt accompanied the president and her daughter to service the first Sunday after her return to the White House she was garbed in a walking suit of mixed black and white, with a white waistcoat and small black, chip hat, with a rosette or two of black, and white robbon. Not a vestige of a wing or a feather or even an artificial flower adorned the headpiece, and not a furbelow was on the gown. Yet the mistress of the White House looked un commonly well. It has been noted that Mrs. Roosevelt the year through Is gowned simply when attending church. New York Press. While the mikado Is protesting against race discrimination at San Francisco, Corea might find the time opportune to ask that his Japanese majesty practice at Seoul what he preaches at Washington. New Orleans Times-Democrat. Between Trains THFi RAZORHACK. The Weleetka (I. T.) American gave space to the following communication from a subscriber on "The Arkansas Hog": "Arkansas has a greater variety of hogs and less pork and lard than any state in the union. An average hog in Arkansas weighs about fourteen pounds dressed, with its head on, and about six pounds and a half with its head off. It can outrun a greyhound, jump a rail fence, climb like a parrot, and live on grass roots and rabbit tracks. It hasn't much tail nor bristle but plenty of gall. It will lick a wolf or a bear in a fair fight. It Is called razorback because it is shaped like a sunfush. In hunting razorbacks they are always shot at sideways, for there is not a ghost of a show to hit them otherwise, any more than to shoot at a split shingle. It can drink milk out of a quart jar on account of its long, thin head. This type of razorback is known as the stone hog, because its head is so heavy and its nose so long that it bal ances up behind. The owner of this type of hogs usually ties a stone to its tail to keep it from overbalancing and breaking its neck while running. If the stone is too heavy it will pull the skin over Its eyes and it will go blind." HE SAW AUGUST BELMOXT. Just before the big subway and ele vated strike nearly every paper in the city sent men to interview August Belmont. He was inaccessible. Cards were useless, pleas futile. Secretaries had the stereotyped answer: "Mr. Belmont Is busy; you can't see him." A new man on the Sun appeared and made his request to see Mr. Belmont. The rest of the crowd smiled and awaited developments. "Mr. Belmont is busy," came the an swer. "You tell Mr. Belmont I am going to see him if I have to wait until hell freezes over," said the new reporter. The secretary disappeared. A uniformed page soon appeared and handed the Sun man a card. It read: "It will take a long time for hell to freeze. I will see you now. "AUGUST BELMONT." According to an Iowa editor a certain church wanted some wine for communion purposes, but could get nothing but persimmon wine. After partaking of this the congregation attempted to sing the Doxology, but their lips were so puckered the best they could do was to whistle it. There is character in the sox men wear, says an exchange. The black stocken notes weight and dignity; the red, a leaning to profligate ways; the pale blue, a vapidity and mushroom desire to be in the swim. What about the country editor who, according to tradition, wears no sox at all? According to a daily newspaper, lard is now being made from pigweed. The old way was to run the pigweed through the hog, but some wise gentlemen have made a machine that works like a hog, so to speak, and refines the lard without the help of the aforesaid porker. Please pass the pie, the crust of wJaicb is made from pigweed lard.

Latest Movements in CB7 Direct Wlrea to NEW YORK LETTER. New York, Nov. 2. Despite lower prices from London, our market opened strong and higher, with Reading again the pronounced leader and Pennsyl vania a close second. Reading scored an advance of over five points from the opening sale, and was in demand at all times. Shorts were anxious buyers, based on an interview with one of the largest stockholders, who is quoted en thusiastically bullish, and makes the statement that the company is earning over 12 per cent, on its capitalization. One of the strongest features is that the director has been backing his opinion by large additional purchases of the stock in the open market, and that is given as the reason for the sensational advance of today. St. Paul, Union Pac fic, Southern Pa cific, Atchison, Louisville & Nashville and Baltimore & Ohio were not ignored, however, in the general advance. Each of these issues had their favorite co terie of supporters, and scored ad vances ranging from three-quarters of a point to one and one-half. In the industrial column. Copper had a substantial rally of a point and a half. It was mostly short covering, as there is nothing particularly new in the metal situation. The traction issues were also strong and higher, Brooklyn Rapid Transit and Interborough both advancing two points. The more flattering prospects of Hughes' election were assigned as the reason for the strength. On the whole, the stock market closed irregular but firm, with advances throughout the list.

WHEAT Although the news was bullish, it was not accompanied by any additional buying orders, therefore our market did not respond to the favorable factors. Argentine shipments were lighter than expected. Their crop was reported to be damaged in certain sections. Foreign markets were quoted fractionally higher early. Northwestern markets were weak in sympathy with the slight decline here. The cash wheat market was a trifle easier but there was a good demand for better qualities of wheat at slight concessions In price. Sales to seaboard 25.U0O. The market closed steady at a shade lower than last night. CORN Dull and featureless, the entire range for the May option being only one-quarter of a cent all day. The cash situation continues strong, however, corn in the sample market being held one-quarter to one-half cent higher than yesterday. Trade in futures narrow and of the professional sort. The market closed steady. OATS Relatively stronger than any of the other markets although the volume of business was not large. Cash houses were fair buyers. There was also a little commission buying. Sales to the seaboard were 200.609 and would have been larger could the cars be secured. The market closed steady.

.11 EAR I) OX THE BOIRSE.

New York, Nov. 2. This is Pennsyl vania day. This good, rename, inea and true old-timer came in with a straight 7 per cent, dividend. The earnings show 12 H per cent. This was a big surprise, as the best that was expected was 3 per cent., and one-half extra for the year, but Mr. Cassatt said per cent., and so it was. The bears all along the line were in a rut, and it does not look now as if they had all the stock they needed. Mr. Frick helped out by jerking up Reading fourdollars per share, and he says. "If they don't come in give them another twist." As Reading is better than Pennsyl vania, and is worth more, as me stocn Is earning 14 per cent, and only paying 4 per cent; the coal ia.-ids of the Read ing alone are worth more today than the whole road is capitalized for, and outside of the coal lands of the company the road, as a railroad, is in fine condition and doing a big freight and passenger business. Pennsylvania is well worth buying when you consider the kind or a road it is. The best road by all odds in the country, it carries one-quarter of all The - railroad freight in the United States, and has more cars than anv ther road. It is earning over three times its dividend, and has paid divi dends longer than any other company. It is better managed, and every mile of the road goes through a white man's country, and it now pays 7 per cent.. and it ought to sell higher than elther Canadian Pacific, Illinois Central or St. Paul. Chesapeake & Ohio disappointed everybody by not raising its dividend. It was well touted, but the buying has not been at all good, and the road is nothing extraordinary. In fact, it is really paying all the dividend It can afford at this time.. If this election hoodoo was removed from the market, money or no money. there are shorts enough in it to put the whole active list up five points. J. P. Morgan tells his best friends that he thinks Hearst will be elected, and that directly after the election he will see to it that Steel, Southern Rail way and Louisville & Nashville, which really have had no particular advance, are pushed up to go in line with some of past speculative favorites, and that after the middle of November money will be considerably cheaper. The Colorado Southern and Union Pacific have entered into a joint deal to save some hundred miles or so going into Denver. The close relation this will establish carries out the gossip that the Colorado Southern has also changed hands. "Car famine" is what the operating departments of all the railroads call it -they simply cannot supply the de mand from the shippers. No railroad ever expected so much business and so much prosperity all at once, and they are not prepared ior 11. ine oig increase in earnings is the thing that tells, however. If ycu went to Pittsburg and talked to some of the real iron men 'not the speculators in the stock market you would get some idea of how scarce iron Is. You simply cannot get spot iron Predictions of the importation of for eign foundry iron have been reanzea. and in addition to five thousand tons of No. 3 Middlesborough, which has just arrived, five cargoes are on the water These importations are the natural resuit of the high spot prices, which have reached $18 to $19, Birmingham, for im mediate delivery, against $13 last June, and corresponding increases in the price of Bessemer. The demand where the scarcity of raw material is almost as acute as on this side, will, it is exDected. result in a rise in the European prices if American buyers continue their activity, which win quicaiy put foreign iron to a prohibitive level, and thus automatically cnecK tne export movement. Foi ihls reason American nrminrers do not look for a recordbreaking importation. The railroad equipment companies are now coming in ior uig eaiimiss. Thi ppnnsvlvania has just placed an order for twenty-five of the largest lo comotives ever built for the Pittsburg division. The Car Foundry and Pressed Steel company plants are both working overtime. The Philadelphia Trust company which failed and brought on a panic in the stock market last summer, has iust resumed and opened its doors for business. This will give our western people some idea of how good business is in the east, especially in New York and Philadelphia. Politics are still running high New York, bets there being made $5,000 and $3,000. even money, that Hughes gets not less than 50,000 ma jority, and 3 to 1 that he is elected Even Croker, the old Tammany boss savs Hearst win not go to ine tiariem river with 8,000 majority, and that Mc Carren and Brooklyn will beat him to a standstill. Baltimore & Ohio Is now in much bet ter condition. I am told to buy It for ten dollars per share. Pennsylvania has changed sentiment, and Harriman has been buving Union Pacific and Southern Pacific on a scale-down from 188 and 93. Rock Island and the Frisco systems are offered more business than they can take care of. and Reid says in January next they will resume dividends on the Rock Island preferred. J. L. D.
