SEED'S JOKE OB BLAINE'S?
(From the New York Tribune.)
- It i hard to traee a good joke back
to its origin. This was illustrated in
the Senate the other day when Senator
Bailey alluded to Speaker Heed's aar
castic remark at the expense of Jadge
Holm an, of Indiana, "the watchdog of
the . treasury." Mr. , Bailey said the
wittiest and bitterest thing Beed ever
Said was the remark when an appropri
ation that came very near Holman's
home was up antl the old judge was re
markably eilent about it. Beed said:
"The watchdog never barks at home
folks." That was said," interrupted
Senator Hoar, "in 1369 or 1870, when
L nrst came into the House." Mr.
Bailey was sure the Temark had been
ma'drt later, while he was himself a
member of the House, which was many
years after Mr. Hoar went over to the
Senate The Texas Senator appealed to
Senator Lodge, who was a member of
the House at the time. Lodge nodded
his head to confirm Bailey's story:
Then Senator Hoar arose and said the
the witticism originated when E. B.
Washburne was a member of the House.
Hey too, was a " watchdog. " H bad
not objected to a bUl passed by his
brother, Cadwallader, who was a mem
ber at the same time from Wisconsin.
"Some one," said Mr. Hoar, "asked
the Speaker (James gV Blaine), if the
Bepresentative from Hlinois had ob
jected.' Xo, said Mr. Blaine, 'the
watchdog does not bark when one of
the family passes by.

THEBE IS A BETTEB AND EASIEB
JXELTNO SINCE THE MEB-'
OE2 DECISION. ; I
The Business of the Country Is On a
Sound and Conservative Basis, and
" the Outlook For a Good Stock Market
, Is Be assuring.
NEW YORK, March 23. Under 4ate
of March, 19th, the banking house jj of
Henry Clews & Co. sent out the follow
ing regular weekly circular letter: '
"' The Northern Securities decision,! as
expected, proved adverse to the mer
ger, and the stock market rallied sharp
ly ia consequence, partly as a result of
the removal of suspense and partly ij be
cause "of extensive short covering. The
decision :is one ef he most important
issued by ; the supreme court of the
United States in many years, and its
effects will be very fsr reaching.
Whether the court will hereafter take
the same! attitude towards an industrial
combination not a monopoly as it has
done in the case of a railroad which is
a quasi-public monopoly remains to be
seen. It is quite certain that the de
cision opens the way for further litiga
tion,' but which for the present is not
likely to follow. The administration
has been successful in this suit, and
seems wisely disposed to leave the rail
roads alone. Will it also leave the; in
dustrials alone; or will it be forced to
select one of these combinations for a
test casef And what will be the course
of the political opponents of the admin
istration f These are all questions that
we should like to answer but are unable
to. It is to be hoped that good sense
land not politics will prevail, and that
the adjustment of such important issues
will not be attempted when vision and
judgment are warped by the beat of a
Presidential campaign. That is not the
time for calm consideration.
On the
other band the decision Is an exceed
ingly" wholesome one from a public
point ef view. Bailroad consolidation
must now progress along lawful and
more natural lines; . and the financial
community has been spared the tidal
wave of speculation that would , have
engulfed ' the speculative stock opera
tors had the merger gone through two
years ago, to say nothing of the anti
Capital crusade that it would have in
evitably created for the political cam
paign of 1904. One other result i is
quite likely to follow tbis decision, and
that is the amendment of the Sherman
anti-trust law. There is a Vast differ
ence between reasonable and. unreason
able contracts in restraint of trade, and
the proaeat1 anti trust law will probably
be amended later on so as to give the
courts liberty in deciding what re
straints are reasonable and what v are
not. Five of the judges out of nine
were 'of opinion that the Sherman law
forbids reasonable as well as unreason
able restraints; but as Judge Brewer
evidently considered the Northern S-
eurittes merger an unreasonable re
atrainty he cast his vote adversely,
showing thst the verdict of the highest
tribunal upon a most vital point is de
pendent upon the duration .of a single
life. -It is unlikely, however, that ahV
new legislation will be attempted tnjs
session of Congress. ' " f
The improvement m stocks which
followed the merger decision was fur
ther "stimulated by better accounts of
the iron trade and continued ease in
money. Prices of iron and steel have
?n--ahietly hardening the last few
weeks, and now that the conviction has
been Reached that prices are at bottom
level orders held baek for months are
being placed, and the outlook j for all
kinds of steel products is better than
at any time'' since the reaction began.
While the Western roads seem to have
nearly finished their extensive outlays
for improvements, this is not the caSte
with the big Eastern railways, . whch
sre and will be for some time to come
heavy buyers of iron and steeL . The
Pennsylvania, for instance, has already
placed some large orders in the mar
ket, which is not without significance,
since" this company nearly always ex
hibits 1 exceptional shrewdness in its
operations, whether in the financial
markets or in its purchases of raw ma
terials.: The transportation improve
ments, alone in the large Eastern cities
will compel unusually heavy orders fpi
iron and steel during the next two or
threo years, and .this-is a sustaining
faetor of much importance. There is
only one hindrance to recovery in the
iron ana other industries, and that is
the uncerain attitude of labor. New
enterprises are already seriously held
la check, not only by the unreliable
poliey followed by some unions but also
ny the high eost of labor, which, ia
many instances, has reached an ex
treme level. Much of the recent busi
ness reaction is due to this influence.
and any further demands on the part
of unreasonable labor leaders would be
simply -disastrous. There are indica
tions,1 however, that sanity, is resuming
its sway. The bituminous coal miners
have decided not to strike thus avert
ing a disastrous struggle, and in some
trades labor has submitted to moderate
reductions, which permitted a revival
of business; and should this spring es
cape an upheaval labor will probably
benefit more than capital. !
As for the money market, that con
tinues easy. Funds are returning free
ly from the interior, bank reserves sre
high, speculative demands are lieht and
ordinary business requirements strictly
moderate. Tne prospects are for easy
money' until the new movement begins.
except of course, the usual stringency
incidental to April I. With the break
up of winter general business should
become more active and transportation
revive. Following this we should hsve
better railroad earnings than in Jan
uary and February; besides which it is
about time for the j Western r roads . to
feel the" economics expected from the
heavy outlays of the last three or four
years and whieS are now nearly com
pleted. This week the war in the far
East has not been a. faetor, but -more
decisive events may be expected be
fore very long, and these are sure to
influence the foreign 'financial markets,
and by sympathy this markef also.
Many, of the. financial, leaders are ab
sent on their customarv spring out-
ings. - When they return fresh activity

An enthusiastic good roads meeting
was held in Liberal hall, at Silverton,
on Wednesday evening, which was at
tended by a large number of the lead
intr citizens of that section. The meet
ing was addressed by County Judge
Scott, president of the State Good
Boads Association, and Secretary II

ization will perfected.
The meeting was attended by many
of the professional and business men
of Silverton. and a large number . of
the prominent farmers of the surround
ing country, and all toot, a deep inter
est in the proceedings, and listened at
tentively to the remarks made by Jtfdge
Seott and Mr. Thielsen. The people of
the east part of Marion county are fmly
alive to the importance of good roads,
and propose to do their part in further
ing the movement inaugurated in this
county by Judge Scott. 5 .
At the meeting held in bilverton a
number of the business men and farm
ers signified their willingness to make
individual - donations of as much as
$100 toward the improvement of the
highways in that section, and it was
apparent that enterprising citizens of
the Silverton country ! mean business I
and have taken the matter in hand
with a determination to accomplish
good results during the! coming season.
Another Invitation.

Profr James I II. Hyde, of the Depart

into a mass of pimples and black spots.
A beautiful woman, has the beauty of
her stomach. The oft quote I phrase,
