Tho calamity howler has arisen front his slumber of tho seven years. He is actively engaged in heralding the ap proach of a panic. That n business reaction of moderate proportions has set in is undeniable, "but In view of tho liberal crops and other favorable factors, it is not reasonable to expect anything ap proaching commercial paralysis. It ia easy to agree with Henry Clews that no such excesses have taken place in tho business world us were com mitted in thofloldofstookspeculation, Mr. Clows further remarks very sensibly that, "while industry and trade must inevitably share the Ilium cial reaction, there is no reason for expecting tho same degree of depres sion in the former us has been endured in tho latter. "Depression Is always tho after-etfeet of overdoing or overdoing or over production, and when the industrial markets become as surfeited with goods as tho ilunucinl markets were -with securities, then we may expect serious reaction in general business, Jta it is, tho latter is suiforiug chlelly from symputhy with Wull street, and also from high costs of production. The first cause uffootsuowouterprisos, of which wo tiro having ruthor too many, and tiio second is largely duo to tho labor movement. "Evory day it is bocoming more and moro apparent that industry is boing checked by high-priced raw materials jind labor; for consumers cannot af .ford present high prices, and some form of readjustment will have to tnko LKR-DRAWH i pirn before the equilibrium between .,., y unil demand Is restored to i tv at.

Wants to Suppress W. R. Hearst. Tho newspapers owned by William Randolph Hearst are waging war against .John 1) Rockefeller because he controls such an enormous amount of wealth mid absorbs an Income so diabolically largo. These newspapers comment editorially upon tho atrocity of ono man having so much, but tho remedy isn't oven so much ns hinted at. In an able editorial, written some fifteen years ago, wo called tho atten tion of congress, the president and tho supremo court to tho wretched manner in which wo were nil boing soaked by Rockefeller, aud nsked if something couldn't bo done to head him otr and, in the interest of tho greatest good to tho greatest number, glvo tho rest of tho men interested in tho oil business n chance to turn an honest penny. To this appeal con gress made no ro-ponse, the president answered nothing, and the supreme court was as silent as tho grave Since then the fottuue of Mr Rockefeller has doubled nd doubled again, and every gift the man has made to endow a university or build a house of wor ship has been followed by an advance in tho prico of petroloum sufficient to meet the expenditure in full and fat ton his exchequer by unywhero from $.'1,000,00,) to Oi.OOO.OOO. By the observ tiuco of this conservative business method, all tho bread he has ever cist upon tho water has returned to him in thirty days multiplied many fold, aud his joy in doing good has beeu thereby greatly augmented. It is it a wonder that somo political party has fa led to seo tho advantage of a declaration in fuvnr of goverumont ownership aud control of John I), Rockefeller, because all other trusts aud combinations are innocent in com parison. Mr Rockefeller is dangerous because of tho methods bo has em ployed in silencing competiion and the wealth at his command with which to carry out his nefarious plots. Never theless wo aro astonished that tho pot should call the kettlo black. Air Hearst is leputed to bo worth at least S0,OOO,0O0. He owns threo mighty yol low newspapers dovotod to sensation alism; to distorting facts, exalting fic tion, and thereby poisoning the minds of tho people The meanest tiling Mr Rockefeller does is to sell us oil that has to be dried before It will burn, bu- Honrst feeds us with contumacious falsehoods mid calls it news.

PRICE TAOS Oil CLOTHB& I P Mar WnM I ItalUa Oiitoa W Wll ! ABirMMI, A peculiar custom of the peasantry In rtmote parts of Italy, according to a correspondent, is the wearing of prica tags on new dresses and suits of clothes. While In most countries the custom ob tains of' promptly removing such Indi cation of the purchase price the mo ment a garment Is bought, rural folk in Italy tai.e pains to sew them on the more securely, In order that they may not drop off accidentally. This prac tice is indulged in by the moro prosper ous peasantry, corresponding to the well-to-do farmer class of this country. The observer of social conditions, re marks an American exchange, may well aslt why this custom of wearing price marks on clothes hns not found favor In this country, where ostentation on tho part of our "new rich" runs riot. , Many a woman of wealth Is heard to complain that hor maid servant, on a' much smaller outlay, by wearing cheap but almost perfect Imitations of the original, can present as fashionable an appearance na herself. The plush par-! ment of modish design often looks as well as the sealHklr costing ten times, as 111 tic It, paste ornaments cannot lie told from diamonds, except by the ex- pert. Complaint of the same character 1r made by the man who patronizes an expensive tailor. The great improve ments effected by the manufacturers of ready-made clothing ha.'e made It pos sible for the flC-a-week clerk to ap pear as well dressed as his $1 .Oflti-a-wcek employer. All this Is. of course, most dispensing to the person who wishes to get the worth of his or her money. What is tho use of wearing expensive clothes If one's neighbors do no: appre ciate them? The universal wear'ng 6f price tags would remove this l!flU"!ty, f.nd the woman with n new ?lof rcuvn or $.V) hat would derive twice He ratls faction from wearing them lha: she does at present that !?. t rovId?d her neigh bors were wearing nothpiir better One dinger, to tie sill" 'vnuld be th Incen tive to i)revarlrti r It would be so cisy to rnan?r tue ;ip'ireh. uut any thing wot'ld be N'lter than running the r'ak. as at present, of having a new $100 gown mistaken for last year's "make-over."

U4kOIN CmbIImI XmI Made HOMad4 for Invalta. Orewsome details of a man-eating orgy are furnished in the annual report on Urltish New Guinea, lately present ed to the commonwealth parliament. The information is t.upplleci by a iceI dent magistrate, betore wnom six na tives had beon brought charged with murder and cannibalism, reports the London Express. Two women and a boy were the wlt nessss. Laldo, one of the women, swore that the people of her village had eaten four neighboring villagers. The vic tims were two men and two women, who had come ashore at Latdo's vil lage in a wrecked canoe. They were got out of the canoe, said Laido, and a man named Lakapona speared one of tho men. "Then came Taubara," the woman continued. "He took his tomahawk and 4'lllod the other man with two blows upon the neck. Wariwarubuthcnl llled a woman with a blow of a 11 . taawl He held her hair In one hand and struck her on the neck with a tomahawl, held In the other hand. Glllnua then killed the other woman, also by a blow with a tomahawk. "I saw those four people killed. I saw with mine own eye the four men I have named kill them. When the four persons were deid the iopl" mr.de a big fire and scorched their hi dies on It. "Then they cut pieces off villi mves nnd put these pieces Into pots and rooked them. And when they were cooked the people and there were many sit down nnd ate of tl'e flesh." Had these people done her people any injury? Laldo was asked. No. she' said; It was deliberate, cold-blooded I murder. I "Let up kill these people," one of the' murderers had said, "but no one Is to ' tall; about It. because of the police and the government that will come nnd pun ish us." In view of this occurrence It Is Inter esting to note that New Guinea Is ofn clally recommended to colonizers as a "charming henlih resort." 1 Not to ll- HnitiTd.
