Government onicrrn H&nlnln Wliy
Knlllnii Off if Miiiinr lluliis Is
an Indication of (Imrritl
I'riisiicrlly.
Tho number of saloons la tho federal
collection district of Nebraska will lie much
mailer this year than In the year of 1900.
This Is shown by tho report of the deputies
to tho collector of Internal revenue In this
olty. t'nilo Sam maintains a system of In
spection over saloons which Is onn of the
most perfect of the government Intelligence
department. Knch collector Is provided
with a number of Held deputies, whoso
duties aro to trael over the district nnd
check up tho houses which nro expected
to pay revenues to tho United States.
1'rom tho record of licenses Issued for
the preceding year a showing Is made of alt
persons who did not apply for a license the
following year and tho list Is given to tho
deputy working In a sub-district composed
of a number of counties In each stato form
ing a part of the collection district. While
on any business In the neighborhood of the
former holder of a government license the
deputy ascertains why tho former appli
cant has not renewed his llccnso and makes
report to tho collector. Tho deputy having
charge of tho counties of Douglas, Cass
Hid Sarpy reports to tho collector that of
tho persons on his list all but ono or two
have retired from tho retail liquor busi
ness. llpprrniM In Third Wnril.
In tho Third ward of Omaha at least six
saloons which wcro running n year ago
have been shut up and their owners have
engaged In other lines of business. This
tvorage. It Is said, will hold good for tho
rntlro district, making tho number of sa
loons In tho thrco counties less by 10 per
cent thnn they wero a year ago.
Tho decrease In tho saloon business, ac
cording to the Idea of tho people nt the
ofllrc of thn collector. Is one of the best
pvldenccs of a prosperous condition of tho
district. One of tho officers, speaklujg of
IK- fnlllng off of government licenses, said:
"Tho fact that many of tho Omaha sa
loons have quit business makes a good
showing. Industrially, for tho town. No
man engages In tho saloon business from
love of tho occupation nnd the majority of
them would do anything olso wlilili would
pny equal prollts. In hard times they run
taloons, as they can mnko more profits than
In any other lines. When times nro good
they withdraw their capital from tho sa
loons and Invest It In other lines of busi
ness, whero the woflt Is moro congenial
and prolltii can he made with equal cer
tainty." "After suffering for two months from n
severe nttark of grip I found quick relief
and a lasting cure by using Dr. Miles' Nerv
ine, Pain l'llls ami Heart Cure." Harry
Abbott, Cincinnati, Ohio.

WHAT CONGRESS IS TO DO
Program of tho Week in Both tho National
Legislative Bodies.
REVENUE BILL TO COME UP EARLY
.Senator Atilrlrh to Present Mensnre
for Itednetlnn of War Tax Monday
or Tnemln j Appropriation Hill
linn llotmc'a Attention.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. The senate will
take up the legislative, cxecutlvo and Ju
dicial appropriation bill Monday ns soon
as posslblo after convening. There Is little
In the bill that ordinarily would create do
bate, but It does not seem Improbable that
several days may be required to act on It
because of tho destro on tho part of some
senators to postpono consideration of the
ship subsidy bill ns long as possible. The
shipping bill will bo made tho unfinished
business whenever in the opinion of tho
friends of the raensuro it is wlso to give
It that place; but, In view of tho fact that
It will be displaced by appropriation bills
whenever senators In chargo of these meas
ures dcslro to tako them up, It Is probable
that the motion to glvo tho bill the place
of vantr.go will bo postponed until after the
disposition of tho executlvo bill.
Senator Aldrlch, chairman of the finance
committee, probably will report tho war
revenue reduction bill Monday or Tuesday
and ho will ask Immediate consideration
for that measure. The rules of tho senate
glvo preference to rovenuo bills, as they
do to appropriation bills, and no order
of tho senato will be necessary to make it
placo for that bill. It Is not probable that
any effort will be made to dlsplaco appro
priation bills with that measure, but all
senators seem united In the opinion that
It necessarily must becomo a law ritirhg
the session, and If there should be an
occasion when It would bo necessary to do
cldo between It and soma bill other than an
appropriation bill tho preference nlmost
certainly would be given to the rovenuo
bill. Tho present Impression, however, Is
that this bill will bo scon disposed of.
Democratic senators probably will make an
effort to secure additional reductions, but
falling In this will voto for tho bill.
Tho pension nnd military acadomy appro
priation bills also aro on tho calendar and
will receive early attention. Tho Indian
appropriation bill will bo reported enrly In
the week, hut will not bo pressed.
Scnntor Morgan has not Indicated his
purpose with referenco to tho Nicaragua
canal bill, but his friends say that he will
delay a rcasonablo tlmo and that If England
docs not net upon the amendments to the
Hny-Paunccfoto treaty he then will movo
consideration of the canal hill.
Renewed effort will bo made Monday or
Tuesday In executive session to sccuro tho
confirmation of Mr. J. S. Harlan as attorney
general for Porto Itlco and also to secure
ratification o' tho treaty with Spain for tho
cession of tho remaining Islands of tho Phil
ippine proup.
I'riiKrnm In the llnnse.
Tho houso of representatives will devote
most of Its attention during the coming
week to appropriation bills, a scries of
them District of Columbia, fortification,
naval, postorflco nnd ogrlculturo being
ready for consideration. At tho outset,
however, there will bo a day or two given
to other measures having right of wny.
Tho army reorganization bill will bo re
ported back promptly from tho committee
on military affairs, probably tomorrow, and
sent to conference with a general disagree
ment to all tho senate amendments. It
may bo reported back during tho latter part
of tho week, and a sharp contest Is prom
ised, Hlchnrdson of Tennessee, the minority
leader, hnvlng Intimated that thero will
bo a discussion of each paragraph. The
District of Columbia Is entitled to tomorrow
and will seek to hold the day for tho con
sideration of locnl measures.
The bulky postal codification bill also
Is beforo tho houso ns a continuing order
and will require much of the tlmo not glvoa
to appropriation bills. Efforts aro making
to havo thn bill to promote tho efficiency of
tho revenue cutter service mndo a special
order for Tuesday.
Tho appropriations bills nbovo referred
to will consume tho tlmo during the rest of
the week, except Friday, which is private
pension day, aud Saturday, when eulogies
lo thu memory of the late Senator Gear of
Iowa will bo pronounced.

NEW YORK. Jan. 20. Henry Clews, head
of tho banking houro ot Henry Clows & Co.,
writing of tho situation In Wall street, s.tys;
Thu stock market reoulres close watchltiR.
circumstances being favorable to sharp
fluctuations It, either direction whenever
tho market leaders choose. At tho moment
the most uncertain tactor lu tho situation
s Hid otltsldu nubile, which lias come into
tho market with such unexpected force.
The public has bought stocks nn nil un
precedented scale, generally with ample
margins, so that thus tar tho market can
not be said to lu honeycombed with weak
accounts such an Kcnerully murk thu culmi
nation or n him movement, much oi tnu
recent advance In railroad Blmres hits been
luo to tho tirocress of tho "community of
Interest" Idea In the various railroads, espe
cially tho anthrucltu coul properties. It
does not by uny mentis follow that theeo
iroperucH are to do consoiiuaieti, stuto
aw often bcinir an effectual barrier to
such projects, but by purchase, exchange
or other means thu ownership of these
iroperties nus been so illstriullleil us to si-
enco cotilllel between tho various lines anil
lo permit tho adjustment of tralflu tinon
moro economical nnd therefore, moro
prolltuble lines. With tho prospects of
rate cutting thus diminished, If not ubol
Ished, the prospects of better prollts nre
greatly Increased; hence, with tho present
lurRo earnings of the roads, the recent
boom in values lias soiuti appearance of
Justlllcntloii. As to thu ftlturu It cuniiot be
said that this concentration of railroad
mumigcmcnl Is at an end, on thn con
trary, It s-eniH likely to continue, until the
wholo country Huh been divided up Into
geographical sections, much thn same ns
nKiami, which is rwiw dominated by two
or threo Rreat aystems. This process of
combination carries with It great powers
lor goo i oi in,
Peerless Anierlenn Rnllroniln.
Thus far It cannot bo snld that such pow
ers have been used for public disadvantage.
ior American ranroaiis, mint utiu inaniiK'i
by private enterprise, stund without u peer
lu clllcloncv. cheapness of transbortatlon
and as prima Investments. Many of the
stocks which have been so active during tile,
ast few mouths win ero Ioiik illsuppcnr en
tirely In tho stroiic boxes of rich holders,
Tho prlccM of these securities often look
nigh una are nigh ror speculative pur
chases but the dlllletilty of making big ami
safe Investments at tlib samo time will
catiso a largo permanent withdrawal of
good railroad stocks from thn market.
nils will force moro attention to tho low-
irlced unseasoned securities which hnvo
liituly been brought Into prominence by
dividend possibilities. In these speculation
has already been very actlvo and cart led
prices beyond tho realm of reuson. There
aro a number of securities of this class
selling much above Intrinsic merit, but.
win o thu speculntlvo mania is on that
showed Itself two and three weeks ago, It
Is folly to prophesy as to the futuro"of such
stocks. Wo leave that to tho creators of
theso visions.
Industrials Lend Decline.
Some of the IiIk operators seem to havo
been trying to curb this speculative spirit,
not from any philanthropic motive, but
fclmply becausu It threatened lo Interfere
with their nluns nnd carry the market be
yond their control Tho outlook for gold ex-
lorts ami rumors or u ecuerai steel nonu
sHtio kuvo tho market a setback, thu In
dustrials leading tho decline. Very eonsld
erablo liquidation followed and thu short In
terest was increased to an extent tnui may
strengthen thu market later on, The lin
mvdluto ftlturu of thu market, however. Is
very MiccrtUIn and wo can only udvl.se
caution until thu situation Ms clarllled.
The Kreat election boom has now run ten
weeks without break or Important Inter
ruption. It has been no moro clliiun move
mentno scheme of a few combined pro
fessional operators. From the beginning It
has received Its support from a InrKo In
vestment demand and from thn speculative
class, great and small, In all thu domestic
centers, acting simultaneously but for the
most part Independently of each other. Thu
movement receiveu us impulse iroin cer
tain concurrent factors of extraordinary
Importance to the national welfare, tho ap
preciation of which was not confined to this
country but has equally awakened mi un
precedented speculation In American rail
roads on tho markets of London and Iierlln.
It Is not eurnrlsltiK that such an unusual
aggregation of speculative forces, acting to
nether and on tho same Impulse, should de
velop such a movement as wo have wit
nessed, nor urni win ooom suouia exniuu
such extraordinary forco and persistency.
The special featuro of tho movement hns
been, until recently, thn almost total ab
sence of tho "bear" element. On both
sides of (he Atlantic all have been pulling
In the mimo direction and this uniformity
of notion hns created a forco of demand
nover beforo matched, with an effect on
prices nbsolutely uncontroluble.
Extraordinary Rise In I'rlcex.
In Judging of the future course of the
market It Is Important to tako at Us proper
valuo this clement In the wholly extraordi
nary rlsi lu prices. Tlio question is lias
tho advance In prices been attended by an
equal rise In Intrinsic values? It may be
safely assumed that, so far us prices havo
been put up through thn pure forco of ex
traordinary and unopposed demand, to that
extent tno nso stands exposed to reaction.
Thero is no rule, However, irom wnicn wo
niav Juduo us to when or under what set
of circumstances thn reaction may be ex
pected to niinear. All other tilings being
eqtinl tho persistence o( any Itillatlon will
do proportioned to mo persistence oi uio
uniform order of cnulldunco which forced
the advance. So far there has been no
broad or serious nlmlement of thu hitherto
utmost uniformly sanguine feeling, nor hns
tho money market interposed any utistaciu
to thn carrying of stocks. Conservative
holders keep up a sternly stream of realiz
ing, but thu sungiilno class are still largely
lu thu ascundDnt; It cannot bo said, how
ever, that thev Include as many of tho
really strong and sagacious operators as
Heretotoru. riteatiuy morn nun moru inu

powers amounts to.
EneonriiKU Speculative Iliiyliig.
Its strength usually Is nronortloncd In
versely to thu degree of Inllntlon thorn Is in
prices and thn precipitancy there Is In a re
action depends on the samo cause. At this
moment thn mnrket Is Huslnlneil by cer
tain elements which nro unquestionably cal

Important corporate reconstructions am in
process or In contemplation, under tho con
trol of high financial potentate!', and rumor
Is busying Itself In thn Invention of no
tions which, If true, would constitute "hull"
arguments of considerable force. It Is a.
Miiestlon. however, whether thesu very tac
tics may not compel said plans to retlro Into
postponement, liy which an opportunity tor
irnttlnir out of stocks under pretty offectlvu
cover would bn lost.
It is not to nn overioonea tnai mom is a
limit to the tlmo for which n high specu
lative excitement can bo kept up. After a
tlmn the nerves protest, thn relapso stago
of the Wall street fever sets In and tho
patient settles Into a state of Invalidism lu

For tho present i recommend trading only
to catch the turns In thn market rather
than for permanent holding, which here
after will be of frequent occurrence.
