NEW YORK LETTER,

New York, March 20. The stock market today was confined almost wholly to three specialties. Union Pacific, Smelters and Reading. There was more or less manipulation in evidence in these three issues and their actions back and forth influenced traders in other quarters. The range of fluectutatlons and volume of business in these three stocks was on a large scale. Union Pacific sold down from 136 to 133 and back to 135, finally closing strong around 133; Smelters from 122 to 115 and back to 118; Reading from 106 to 101 and back to 103. If the speculative public are looking for action, they certainly can get plenty of it In such markets as those of today. At
no time was there any perceptible lull

HANLY'S HEAD, NOT HIS HEART. !
It 13 method, not motive that has
pulled down upon the head of Gov. J.
Frank Ilanly an avalanche of criticism.
The beat and most respectable thought in the state gives him credit for pure motives, but resents most emphatically his assumption of the possession of all the virtue and all the knowledge of the
state.
Ills affectation of superior wisdom superior virtue and Buperlor information and appreciation of the real wants
of the people Is not fancied. Ilia uaur
patlon of legislative powers, his frustration of tho will of the representatives of the people plainly expressed Ills stultification of members who went to the late sessions of the legislature with clean hands, cler consciences and
pure motives..
This unpopular policy has certain
ly been instrumental in curbing Mr.
Hanly's usefulness. It has lost the
state some valuable legislation which
there is no doubt would have prevail
ed had the governor used more tact in
gaining his ends. The insurance mea
sure he advocated and which was lost
Utterly, is a notable example of this. There is not the slightest doubt but what the Farber bill would have become a law in Its original or very near
ly its original state had not a number
of what might have been powerful friends of the governor been trans
formed into formidable enemies by rea
son of the latter's unfortunate tendency
to arbitrarily dictate ana dominate or
to question the sincerity of their views
when opposed to those he held.
It seems a pity that a man of such
strong principles and steadfastness of
purpose combined with the brilliant in
telligence and executive judgment as that possessed by Ilanly should have his efforts handicapped by the spirit of arbitrariness that has hampered his
career since he first filled the chair of
Indiana's chief executive.
ECENT events have brought into strong light a new profession which is sure to be amplified and made MORE EFFECTIVE in the near future. I mean the function of
teaching the whole population how diseases are caused and communicated and what are the CORRESPONDING
MEANS OF PREVENTION.
The recent campaign against tuberculosis is a good illustration of
this new function of the profession. To discharge it WELL requires
in medical men tho power of interesting exposition with telling illus
tration and moving exhortation. Obviously the function calls for dis- ln the activity,
interestedness and PUBLIC SPIRIT on the part of the profession,
but to this call it i3 certain that the profession will respond. It also calls for some new adjustments and new functions in medical schools, which should hereafter be careful to provide means of popular exposi
tion concerning water supplies, foods, drinks, drugs, the parasitic
causes or consequences of disease in men, plants and animals and the
MODES OF COMMUNICATION of all communicable diseases.
Medical museums should be arranged in part for the instruction of
the public and, with some suitable reservations, should be statedly
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC. The medical schools also habitually should provide popular lectures on medical subjects, and these lectures should be given without charge on days and at hours when working people can attend. In other words, selected physicians should become public preachers, AS WELL AS PRIVATE PRACTITIONERS.
America has much to learn from Europe in regard to this public spirit
ed service on the part of tho profession.
In another respect the teaching of medicine must be broadened in upon the whole closed irregular and

A few vague rumors here and there of financial difficulties of one or two of the smaller brokerage houses which

NEVER TOO LATE TO ARBITRATE.
It was only a few weeks ago that The Lake County Times in its editorial column discussed the question of the relations of capital and labor in the Calumet region, emphasized the importance of encouraging harmony be
tween these two great forces that must be relted upon to build up this region and suggested a board of arbitration
for the Calumet region as a means of preventing the precipitation of some
great Industrial struggle that easily
might be prevented.
Today a strike threatens to tie up the whole Iron industry of this region and
not a move has been made by the busi
ness men individually or collectively
in the affected district to make a set
tlement. The Indifference of the East Chicago and Indiana Harbor business men to the dangers of the present sit
uation Is hard to understand.
It is always easier to bring the parties to a misunderstanding to a set
tlement of their difficulties at the be
ginning of a strike than It is later on when 111 feeling has been aroused and
prejudice is strong. While it is to be hoped for the good of East Chicago Indiana Harbor and the whole Calumet region that the present strike will be settled without difficulty, the disturbance ought to serve its purpose in demonstration the necessity for a permanent board of arbitration to which both capital and labor may take their differences and have them adjudicated. This is a question that is worthy of the careful consideration of the business men's associations all over the Calumet region.
rigid supervision of the states" and of the GENERAL GOVERNMENT. While it is plain that the government acquisition of fifteen
billions of railway property and the sort of management that would ensue in its administration would lead to DANGEROUS RESULTS beyond the imagination to picture, it is also demonstrated by the experience of the older states which have railway commissions that supervision and control promote both the public safety, the interests of the producing and transporting public and the investment of those who, as capitalists or savings bank depositors, DERIVE THEIR IN

ritom Cll MARKET. Chicago, March 20. The egg market again showed considerable firmness and sales were made mostly at c, and in some cases as high as lc, over the board's quotation. Receipts, although heavy, are not sufficient for the large, local, consumptive requirements. The poultry trade developed a weaker tone. The offerings are only fair, but the high prices prevailing are curtailing consumption. The better trade shows little improvement. The local demand shows slight betterment, but the outside trade is practically nothing. There were no strawberries in, and offerings were hold-over stock.

Chicago, March 20. WHEAT. A more active market ln this pit than usual. Prices ruled lower early, later had spurt enough to cause the short some uneasiness and compel a few of the more timid to buy back their wheat, finally closing weak with a loss of about a cent a bushel upon the days trading. The news was more conflicting than for several days. The
bad crop reports from quite a number of states in the southwest seemed to
