It lias ruined in Wall Street
steadily for about a week, aud
: speculators have been saying
with Yorlainc, "It rains in my
heart, as it rains in the street."
Tuesday weather and Wall
Street were a little brighter,
.-'rain stopped, money for specu
lation was cheaper, prices went
up, 3,1-46,000 shares were sold,
and brokers who want to sec
seats rise from $500,000 to $1,
000,000 each felt more cheerful.
Onoe a "1,000,000 share day"
was wonderful. Now a "2,000.
000 share day" is a disaster.
.We easily get used to pros
perity and want more of it.
The French take smallpox se
riously for good reasons. In
the war of 1876 every man in
the German army was vaccinat
ed, and uot one mau developed
smallpox.
In the French army few were
vaccinated, and thousands hud
smallpox. There is no THE
ORY " about that,.
Sniullpox has been spreading
' iu England, in regions where
vaccination has Ijcen'ncglcctcd,
and the French hurriedly an
, iiouneed that no -Englishman
I might land on French soil un-
I, less he had been vaccinated
i, wlithin two moiiths.v,This ap-
, plies to American tourists com
ing through England-' .
Later the vaccination rule
; was abolished, 'the French hay
! ing decided to risk a little
smallpox rather than shut out
- British and American tourists'
cash. France takes smallpox
and vaccination seriously. Brit
ain will do the same after a few
more die.
Connecticut's legislature, by

A tendency to favor a general In
stead of a limited revision of the
tariff, In fact, has. been growing
more and more apparent, and what
Is regarded as the opening gun In
that fight has been fired from the
midst of the camp of administra
tion supporters In the senate by
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania.
Commenting on tho president's
reference to "the necessity for some
'limited changes" In tho tariff
scneduies, ne expressea me opin
ion that "any tariff revision neces
sarily must be a general revision"
since "we can not open up some
schedules and extend protection to
somo items and at .the same time
deny protection to other manufac
turers and other commoditios
which need It." 1
The Pennsylvania senator also
ranged himself against the presi
dent on the immigration question.
The president expressed his disap
proval of the national origins

proclamation to put it Into effect
