The Student of Stocks Gets Left—The Morgan-Welsh Syndicate Not 8o Much of a Failure—Pros- pects Bright. Nrw Yonk, May 0.—[Special Telegram.]— There has been but one influence, which might be called controlling, in the news of the past week, and that is labor troubles, Tt 18 not often that the varied interests of Wall street are as unanimous upon any one sub- ject as they are on the present condition, un- easiness and rioting in the west. Wall street stands to-day wedded to its selfish in- terests in the value of stocks and other securities and as defender of what it deems its inalienable right to invest its money in everything and have protection for it. The feeling of Indignation and rage which now posses the street 18 decper and more revengeful than the sentiment of 1850. Men who then dodged the draftand who gave but cold sympathy for war, to-day say sternly that they would gladly shoulder muskets and march against soclalists, arnachists and revolutionists. Groups of men who proverbtally discuss prices and value but are more given to read- ing from ‘“Tape” than from any other publication, now warily debate the news from the rioting points. The market for the week may be character- Ized as havingbeen dulland steady. There have been: irregularities in prices, but the main movement has been steady, with small deallings, The early part of the week showed indications of a serlous decline in prices but strikers took such decisive steps that from the point of view of the stock stu- dent it was like the railroad rate war, which, instead of cutting 3 per cent, or 5 or 10 per cent from tariff rate, promptly cut the rato in two and then cut it again, thereby reducing it to small fractions at jumr. Such wars always mean carly settlement to the student, &0 when rioting oceurred in Chicago and Milwaukee, the student concluded that the bottom had been reached and that it was the proper time to look for a rall It must be remembered, however, that the 1st of May has passed without the development of anything like the trouble that had been predicted throughout for sev- eral months past. 1t was most positively as- serted that anthracite coal miners, number- ing nearly 100,000, would s for eight hours _work and ten hmu'«{n\y at that time, and whileassurances of loyalty were receivi Dby many coal men from their employes, there was a feeling of uncertainty tha L very potent. effeet upon the stock market in the” interest « ars, ‘Lhe predictions of trouble in - the anthracite regions have not only failed of verification, but there is good reason to believe that the bituminous coal miners, amounting to perhaps 10,000 men, will ret to work within a few days.

'The facts are, ho ever, there are strong indications that Gowen will seck by every available means to make terius with the Morgan-Welsh party, and in this way work In harmony for the reorganiz- ation of the company. = The fact of the matter has developed during the past few months, that the speculative publie have very few stocks to trade in, and that arties who are strong enough to await the uture growth and development of the coun- try are the principal holders, and they are d mined to exer their power in the matter.

Mr. Egan was very indignant at the charge. He said: hose English papers in this instance, as in every other where they refer to Ire- land or the Irish peopis, display the most ar- rogant ignorance and barefaced lying. 1f there is one feature of the socialistic troubles more noticeable than another or more grati- fying to overy lover of Treland it Is the fact that up to the present time not a single Irisl man has been found on the side of the re Iln‘: while we can point with melancholy pride to the fact that about three-fourths of he brave fellows who fell in defense of law and order were of our nationality.” Some Irishmen, he snid, may perhaps have gone to extremes in defending their homes and in battling ~for their national rights, and some of them will no doubt do so again in the futuro if Englisn stupidity and Enelish prejudico pre- vail to thwart the manly efforts of Gladstone to settle the Irish question by constitutional means; but this mueh I ean say, and 1 know whereof 1 speak: That socialism, as that term is understood by the followers of the red flag, never has found and never will find any foothold in Ireland nong the Irish people.

City employes have been voted ten hours' pay for eight hours' work and a nu ber of individual manufacturers made settle- ments with their men, but a great mass of strikers remain idle. There are no crowds and business seems to be progressing as usual. Orderly processions of strikers have passed through the streets every day, but the pronounced denunciation ot violence, par- tloulnrly the socialistio methods lins ‘eiven the public a sense of treedom from danger of riot. The feeling has not been - shared by the authorities for several reasons. The Kirst regiment of Ohio National Guards has been on duty, day and night, at the armory, near the court house, Several hundred spe- cial policemen have been appointed, and safety organizations have been formed all over the city. Four regiments ofnilitia have been ordered here by the governor. - The ex- planation for all of this preparation was made to-day for the first time. Police com missioners have discovered soclalists to the number of 600 are organized and armed with effectiveritles; they control here the manu facture of ' dynamite and bombs; ones used in Chicago were made here, and they “now lave on hand for use a supply of infernal ma- chines.

In The Temperance Field. A large and well pleased audience gathered at the W. C. T. U,, Buckingham hall Saturday evening, the occasion being the usual gospel temperance meet- ing under the auspicces of the Omaha Reform club, Rev. Mr. Smith, a re- turned missionary from China, opened the services with reading of the seripture and prayer. He was followed by Evangelist Bitler in n short address, pleading with the drinking men not only to leave their cups but to turn to the fountain which is able to and does take all evil desires from a man’s heart, and setting forth the glorions joy and peace of a life consecrated to God. Mr. R.J. Spoerri then sang “Where is My Wander- ing Boy to-night?"" the audience joining in the chorus Mrs. M. E. Roberts of Lincoln spoke as only a Christian mother can, asking that for the sake of the aching hearis of the parents left in the epstern homes and for their own, the f ung men should turn toward the better ife in Christ. She laid particular stress on the fact that each per- son has an army of followers, who were being influenced for either good or bad; “which kind of a leader would Jou be, one tuking your followers up to lives of happiness ‘and peace, or leading them down to destruction and death?™ Mrs. Roberts has a Sunday- school class in Lincoln of seventy-five members, young men, nearly all of whom have been converted within a few months. Mrs. Howver sang beautfully ‘‘My Boy 18 Coming Home ‘l'o-night,” followed by Rev. Mr. McKaig in a fow words of encouragement and exhorta- tion.

R. C. Barrow, at the Christian church last eveping. The text was Rev, 11—15. The speaker rapidly sketched the history of the church during the past three centuries, tho great apostacy, and modern reformations. We should accopt the reformatory teaching of Luther, Cal- vinand Wesley, but not erystalize around the doctrines of either, and refuse to muke any further progress. Mr. Wesley said “I'expect great light yet to break forth from the word of God.”" The man who formulates a creed, puts his foot in the stream of human #hought, and declares that nothing more shall ever be learncd, Calvin restored the sovercignty of God in the hearts os the people, alioobing the corrupting tendency towards a religion of works alone. Wesley ewed and de- veloped the spiritual clement in religion, and Roger Williams was an important factor in_ restoring the primitive form of baptism. All the really great and learned men_who have practiced aflfusion for baptism, have done so on the ground that hiad u right to change the forms of the ordinance. John Calvin, in section 15 of his institutes, s: “The word baptize 18 Greek, and meancth to im- merse, and it is certnin that immersion was the pi ce of the ancient church, but we think we have a right to change the form of this ordinance, somewhat, only <o the substance is retmned.” iley, Chalmers, and nd pious men who have flusion.
