PULPIT EDITORIALS |
REV. FRANK CIJAND.
The Heactlon In Fiction If there Is any
thing proves there Is an overruling God
who makes for righteousness , It Is that all
evil finally burns Its-It out , while good can-
no' be quenched , but grows on nnd on "tlio
eternal years of God are hers. " If smallpox
were to break out among us , nnd even If
we had no way of preventing It or curing
It , It would by and by run Its course and
cease. Every epidemic finally subsides. And
every lie eventually rots and falls. And
every humbug some day comey to contempt.
Hut truth , goodness and health have In
them the eternal fountain of youth.
What prompts this strain Is this : that
many years ago It seemed that sotno licen
tious satyr had hypnotized all our lltera-
tuie. It was filth , filth everywhere. The
bastard realism of Zola , the rank mouth-
Ings of Aniello Hlvcy , the caprine anacreon
tics of Oscar Wilde , with shoals of little
fishes In their wake , filled the sea of letters.
Our standard magazines burnt Incense to
Aphrodite and hundreds of cheap publica
tions blot-somed with wrealhs of fiction dedi
cated to Dlonyt'us. ' Those who loved the
good old English homo life and the play
of the nobler and purer emotions could only
cry out "How long , O , Lord ! "
Suddenly has the change come. It hap
pened but yesterday ; to spjak more accu
rately , about a month ago. The public pal
ate of good , old , strong America was at last
sated , the abused public stomach rebelled.
The publishers toll us that there has been
a remarkable falling off In Hie demand for
such literature as I have mentioned and
the market now calls for clean stories. You
who watch for and read new books have
noticed the truth of this , Mrs. Hlves-Chan-
er has sunk Into merited obscurity. Grant
Allen's new book Is coldly received by critics
and readem Wilde's public Infamy has
shocked the world.
Look at our new favorites. Whatever you
nay say of them they are wholesome. There's
lone of that Ill-smelling "suKKostlveness"
u them. Cleverer fiction than Conan Doyls's
"Sherlock Holmes" stories never were writ
ten. Amelia r ; . uarr , nuuueiiui ivmtr ui
inrc and fascinating fancies , U In great call.
Then thcro are Miss Wllklna' delightful
sketch ! ! * of New England life- and Ian Mac-
ami and S. R , Crockett ( don't forget to
read "Men of the Mot * Hags" ) and tlio cilm
and truthful Howells , and masterful , tragic
Hall Calne.
And even France catches step , for one of
.lie most popular stories from that region
: oday U the awect little love tale , "The
\bbe Constant ! ! ! , " by Ludovlc Halcvy. I
cannot refrain from quoting these just wordu
of llnlovy. which I find In this book :
"Jem was alone In the world ; ho was M
yeara old , Ot that family , where for more
than a century ull had been good and honei't.
there remained only a child kneeling by a
grave ; but he , too , promised to bo what hie
father and grandfather had been before him
good und honest and truo. There arc fain *
lles ! like- that In Franc ? , aiid many of them ,
inoro than one ventures to ray. Our poor
country la , In many re pcts , cruelly ca
lumniated by certain norellitt' , who draw
exaggerated and distorted pictures of It , "
Thehopefuleat thing about It lu that more
and more tha great fact that Ii the center of
our civilization , the fact that the massi-u of
our people- are convinced of the truth and
beauty of a strong , hopeful Christian life , Is
beginning to appear In fiction , It Is only here
and there a yet ; but tli time U coming
ulicn th > novelist < < liall arlsf wlia mill sln\v

, dudiv all Inspired by love of Christ. Ho
, will how us the picture of duly lit with
, love , lofty service and magnificent self-do-
ulal btsel nprn consecration to the Master
j ! of harts ; he will show us the lop nnd acme

consequent dullness ; and this reacts FOIIIO-
what unfavorably upon the New York
market. The continued firmness of the for-
elKii t'Xchnnrfi'S aiul the outflow of sold
also dlscournKe operations ; although It Is
taken for granted that the government
must borrow another JiW.OOO.OOO at no distant
day , that clement of the situation inny be
snld to have been already discounted There
are the principal elements pausing the cur
rent pnrtlnl reaction of tone , but they are
to be regarded rather an temllntf to heget
noslponement than as producing uny real
distrust of values , nnd hence the changes In
prices have been comparatively Immaterial.
STIM. I.lVli ON IIO1M- : .
The market receives support from the
Ift'iiernl Improvement lu the current gross
earnings of the railroads. The genernl con
dition of trade In this city and Hie Interior
ban also a tendency to encourage confi
dence. The business outlook has many
favorable symptoms. December Is always a
quiet month , merchants hclng usually oc
cupied with stocktaking , closing of accounts
or firninlntlng plans for the new year. .lust
now buyers of merchandise are In a con
servative mood. bpcntiPc of the late reac
tionary tendency of prices of raw materials ,
and because they require some assurance
that the Increased demand for consumption
will prove permanent. Fortunately such as
surances are forthcoming. At the west
anil In many paints of the east the retail
branches of trade FhoW a marked Improve
ment , which must soon stimulate the pri
mary markets. The recent declines In Iron
are leading to a basis of prices on which
buyers nnd tellers can agree , so that a new
lease of Improvement In Hint Industry IF
already In prospect. Viom the wet trade
reports are uniformly encouraging. Collec
tions aio peed , and distributers conlHontly
look forward to an active spring trade.
Cokler weather has already Imparted n de
cidedly better tone to several branches of
business. The movement of the. Immense
corn crop , which must soon begin , Is
looked forward to uH a powerful factor
toward business Improvement In the west
and southwest. The lateness of the cotton
movement may have somewhat checked
southern trade , but the better prices
realized and the fact that cotton must soon
move more freely linn tmemiraged confidence
In the south , little Inferior to that prevail
ing In the northwest. Contrasted with a
year ago , there Is a rcinarkabte change In
the business temper , which has not yet
had full opportunity of expressing Its-'c'f
and there is no hifznrilln , s.iylntt that. If
congress gives any fair promise of doing Its
clear duty on the''currency question , the
spring of 1S96 will develop a large and genu
ine Improvement. With such conditions In
prospect , the stock market Is likely to show
unusual resistance .to bad Influences , anil ,
while- caution In stock operations may IID
advisable for some tlthi * to dine , still the
"short" side of the1 market Is not likely to
be the safest. ' '
WHAT TIIK PnjSSirJENT OMITTED
The prcf lilcnt'B message has boon , on the
whole , favorably received | , i Wall street ;
less , however , Iroin Itsi positive side than
from Its negative. , 11 , makes no recom
mendations calculated to disturb confidence :
neither does It offer any encouragement
to hopeful anticipations1. Ity many the pres
ident's emphatic declarations In1 favor of
the retirement of th'e legal tenders IB viewed
as , on the whole , u-bodv of soupd doctrine ,
calculated to guide public opinionto , wholesome - .
some conclusions upon the currency ques
tion. Hut , nt the Nhme time , there Is a
general disappointment that the president
should trust so entirely to Increased Issues
at national bank notes to nil the vacancy
In Hi ? circulation that would be caus-ed by
his proposed retirement of the f5K,000COO ( )
of fulled States notes and treasury note ? .
Ilia suggested reduction of the note tax
from 1 pr cent to one-fourth of 1 per cent
and tils Increase of note issue from 80. per
cent of the amount of deposited bonds to 100

ought to be made under any circumstances
and independontlv of any funding of the
treasury paper. lJut it Is not believed that
such a change would very materially In
crease the volume of the national bank cir
culation , and there Is no question about
the entire Inadequacy of such increase to
fill the gap caused by the withdrawal of the
legal tenders. Some surprise Is felt nt the
president's silence on the principle of Issuing
bank currency on a pledge of all assets
and th duplicate' liability of the stockholders
holders- . The discussion of this form of
note guaranty within the last two years
hnH wrought n considerable change of opin
ion In ItH favor In'baiiking circles and among
Intelligent students of this question gener
ally. It Is seen Hint such a basis of Issue
must be In some degree depended upon to
produce the expansion of bank clrculntloo
that would be essential In the event of the
withdrawal of the treasury Issues. The
value of the Issue nrlvileire would be so
largely Increased under Bucli a basis , and
the regulation of the money market would
be so much easier than It Is under the pres
ent Inelastic currency , that there seems to
be no reason for doubt that the retirement
of a large part at least of the treasury
notes would be compensated by equal new
Issues of bank paper. And , If It should not
be doomed prudent to offer this basis of Issue
to the state banks- , under due safeguards ,
the restriction of this privilege to the na
tional banks would bring over many of the
state Institutions to the national system and ,
besides , would Induce the creation of a
large number of new banks under the na
tional law. Sly Individual Judgment , how
ever. Is that It would be prudent to provide ,
at present , only for the retirement of the
notes issued under the act of 1S90 , leaving
the "greenbacks" for subsequent treatment.
QUESTION Mt'ST UK ANSWEKKD.
It lit dawning upon expert opinion that
th ° question of note guaranty Is practically
the most vltnl factor In the problem of cur
rency reconstruction , Its Importance being
not only In the facilitation of the with
drawal of the government currency , but
also as Involving the requirements of per
fectly sound retail money that would au
tomatically respond to the wants of business
and largely contribute toward n natural
and even regulation of ( he market rale of
Interest. Hut , from present Indications ,
there Is little to encourage the expectation
that any Important action on the general
currency question will be accomplished , if
Indeed attempted , nt the present session of
congress. The possibility of disagreements
between the two houses , and between con
gress and the administration , are so great
that men of force npd leading are Ilkelv
to defer n campaign on this question until
the achievement of some real result becomes
a possibility. We tnko It therefore that
the next few months of legislation are not
likely to prove an ttifluttitlul factor bearing
upon the investment 'and speculative Inter
ests. , , , i

CHICAGO. Dec. " . Wheat opened at
about ' 4P decline under yesterday's closing
rates , nnd for about twenty minutes gave
very slight signs of recuperation. At the
end of that time , however , symptoms of
recovery became apparent. The Improve
ment was very gradual nt first , but before
the session was an hour old the rise becnmi'
rapid , and from ClHf M"V advanced In a
hurry to from C2o to C2'ic. ' The first trading
In It WBH at from fil-V to Gl'fei' . compared
with tU'fcc at the close yesterday. The open
ing weakness had two or three rmsoim to
Justify It. The Mvftpool market only re
sponded tper \ cental to the Chicago jump
of Ic per bn. yesterday. A private cable1
gram from Liverpool said : "Argentine crop
' respects favorable : shipments "fyhent '
Irom Argentine for the week , ISI.OMbu. , " nnd
whnt perhaps Influenced the early seller. "
here ns much as anything el e wns that
the receipts nt Mlmi'iipoils and Duluth
wore more limn SCO carloads In execs * of
those on the cot responding d.\y of the year
before. The rlw which succeeded the op n-
Ing decline had nlso several good reasons
to support It. The price barely touched OJUc
on the advance when some of the big
bears Jumped Into the pit with clean trad
ing cars nnd svinn had the Felling Bide of
them covered. The market yielded to the
onslaught , nnd the juice was soon crowded
back to fn\y. \ : A recovery to fil c followed
and the latest trading was at from til-Se to
ni-74 ( . , iiK insi i'ii' on me uiiy ueiuri- .

The local receipts were nhout as exp.'rti'd.

OATTLK-Wlth only forty-four loads ot
cattle the yards seemed almost deserted.
It was n light run even tor a Saturday ,
only about half the number being on sale
today that were here a week ago. The
light 6Tcilngs ( combined wllh the usual
Saturday's dullness could hardly do other
wise than make a very quiet and featureless
iniu ltd.
In the way of dressed beef cattle theio
were some right good heavy corufed steers
on the market In addition tu the usual
showing of half fat stuff. The market WUM
very dull and hardly steady. One bunch
of 1730-lb. beeves , tic1 heaviest cattle seen
here 111 some time , sold at $1.23 , wbllo
beeves weighing 1,400 or a little over went
at J.1.00rji.70. :
The font * ? of the maikct ban
been downwaid this week and at
the close prices me fully IBo to i'uu
lower than nt the opening of the week.
There In n stior.g Influence at work at the
present time that Is decidedly against the
cattle trade. In the first place the holiday
season Is near at hand nnd It Is the time
when poultry , oysters and gam- attract the
public appetite and beef U neglected. Again ,
mutton and pork are very low , and under
the Influence of the money stilngency con
sumers are Inclln-d toward the cheapest
incut , which cuts down the ronsmuptlon
of beef still mole. As a general thing cat
tlemen do not anticipate much activity In
the beef market until after the new year.
C'OWM and hclf-rs were In moderate supply .
today and holders did not experience much
dllllculty In securing about steady prices.
The market on butchers' stock has also ex-
> erlencetl n decided reverse the past week ,
: iut prices on that kind of stuff are ntlll
good the way other cattle are selling.

odds and ends constituted the fresh supply
of stockers and feeders. There wete not
'noiigh to make any test of the market.
