But | it is equally true that men seeking a | market to realize ready money at forced ‘sales of securities are not likely to miss any means of concealing thelr transac- | tions. The source of selling orders in the | present market is a baffling mystery, and | inferences usually drawn from the per- | sonality of the brokers employed are al- | most invarlably at fault. ’ FAILURE OF ENTERPRISES. The conditions which prompt the liqui- dation and the probable limits of its ex- tent are consequently the cause of grave disquiet and apprehension. It was the| failure of stock jobbing operations that brought the early selling, and the losses reported were almost wholly on paper, as the previous gains had been. But later episodes represent the faflure | | of enterprises in which extensive capital | o has been embarked, at demonstrably un- | productive’'employment.

EACRAMENTO, Sept. 28.—The reply of Governor Pardee to the report of the Prison Directors is as follows: To the Honorable the Board of Prison Di. rectors of the State of California—Gentlemen: 1 have before me your report on the disastrous and lamentable outbreak and escape of prison- ers from the penitentiary at Folsom. It would appear from the cvidence taken before your board some time since (a report been placed before me by Pri- vate Secretary A. B. Nye, who was present at the meeting of your board). that the whole prison force, with two or three exceptions, connected with the outbreak, displayed a total want of capacity and efficiency at the very oment when called upon to show capacity d efficiency. T mote. with pleasure, your praise of Turn- key Cochrane, Who was so nearly killed in | the melee; with as great a degree of sadness I note your account of the murder of Guard W. L. Cotter. Both are worthy of all praise. 1 also note the foliowing sentence In your reports "Your board is convinced that had officers and guards who were attacked showed the same daring and nerve as the con- viets who attacked them, the convicts could never have left the prison grounds alive 1 also note the following in your report: “Yet the board is unanimously of the opinion that the officers and guards should have stopped this outbreak at all hazards.'” 1 also call attention to the following: *We also feel that there was a time when the lieu- tenant of the guard could have stopped the cutbreak and prevented the prisoners from es- caping. and he should under no circumstances heve surrendered the armory to the convicts.” The following- is also worthy of note: ‘So convinced is the board that it is the duty of all officers and guards to prevent the escape of convicts at every hazard, that an order has been issued making it the imperative duty of all officers and guards to prevent conmvicts from escaping, whether they have free men in their charge or not, and when any such at- tempt is made the guards must fire." T agree heartily fully and unreservedly, with these four quotations. And in this connection 1 most sincerely agree with the following clause The most extra- | ermer, ser:ing 1 shall certainly take heed of your recommendations in these cases, and I| e system’ is what we complain of.|agree with you that convicts who ald the | i system has been abandoned by pr prison authorities to preserve order and prison | State o the Trajted | discipling should receive some reward for their » note your disapproval of that unjust ' bias which makes the public so ready to take | the part of desperate men confined in prisons for infractions of the law against the prison Jfficials when the latter are compelled to take | sive steps to control their charges and pre- | ‘e discipline. Those who know how des- | perate and abandoned many of the convicts | ned in our prisons are agree with you | oughly In your condemnation of that public thor sentiment which, knowing nothing of the true | nditions, refuses to belleve that harsh | prison measures are frequently necessary to disci pline those men who will stop at no brutality, to wreak thelr vengeance upon ray their plots and conspiracies, | ct their escape from the charge of | those whom the law has put over them. With | rou, T am convinced that those who come clos- | st in contact with the convicts in our prisons | | know best how to manage them. It is always | | safest, I think, in human affairs, to look out | for the best results In any particular matter | at_the hands of those who are expert in it. note, also. what vou say about the neces- | sity ‘of so improving the two prisons as to per- mit the substitution for the present ‘‘congre- gate system’’ the more modern, humane and | safer method whereby each prisoner shall be separately confined. Your board has recom- | | mended this ch . I am informed, | | & number of times. | for legislative action. 1 agree with you as o its necessity and shall hope, with you, | | that the Legislature, at its next session, may | | make sufficient appropriations, both for this and such other improvemnts as may appear to be necessary. I eongratulate you upon this staterment in your report: ‘‘For years your board has en- deavored to eliminate from the management of the State prisons any political influence_or interference, and that is its present aim. We are pleased to say that we have succeeded in this to a very great extent, and wish to .ac- knowledge our appreciation of your expressed | desire to aid in this particular."” In conclusion, gentlemen of the board, let me say that it devolves upon you to conduct the af- falrs of the prisons. 1 have every confidence | in your desire to so conduct them that no ju criticism can flow to you, and that, o far possible, they may be made what they were in- tended to be, viz.: places of detention and pun- | ishment for those who break the law and re- | formatories for such prisoners as may be ca- | pable of reform. And of your Integrity and | capabllity well and properly to manage the in- | stitutions committed to your care I have no doubt, GEORGE C. PARDEE, Governor of California. —_————— Latest in Baby Transportation. A well dressed woman created some- thing of a sensation on Fourth street in the vicinity of the St. Nicholas Hotel Monday afternoon by her method of car- rving a very young baby. She had across her arm a “carryall,” but Instead of hav- ing 1t filled with articles secured in the shopping district she carried a lusty youngster, which looked as if it might be about one year old. It was sleeping as | serenely as if ensconced In its own couch at home, and the mother walked in and | out of the stores with as little concern as if she only carried an ordinary pack- age. But the passers-by eyed her, and every woman from Vine to Race craned her neck to see how the child enjoyed its new mode of travel. The mother paid little attention to the comments of the throng and went about her business in such a matter-of-fact way that the lln-I pression soon prevailed that both she and the baby were used to it and cared little for what others said.—Cincinnati En- quirer. | or { | reason counts for nothing. No matter what may be said as to the causes which have brought about the present situa- tion, prevailing conditione' throughout the coun- try do not justify the existing great decline in substantial ~ securities. The time will come when people will wonder how conditions such | as we see now could have existed. | It does not appear likely that the much feareq | money stringency will materfalize. In fact, | money is abundant now. only those who con- | trol the supply are afraid in the uncertain state of affairs to part with it. The conse- | quence is that we have a superabundant supply | of money on daily call. while time money can- | not be had in large amounts. | But this will change, especially as it is al- | most _certaln that, With the inability of cor- | porations to finance their requirements, general business_throughout the country must, after a time, fall off, and when that moment arrives we shall have & large Amount of funds seeking employment. These surplus funds will. to some extent, determine the value, for ordinary purposes, of a superabundant volume of cur- rency and we shall witness an increased de- mand for securities.

Buffalonians who “hang out” at Wey- and’s and who used to frequent the elder Weyand's place, when “Grove” Cleveland was a regular patron there, will appre- ciate the following story about Grover which is going the grand rounds. It is said Mr. Cleveland tells the story himself with much glee. It was while he was Governor of the State of New York. There was a public meeting at one of the theaters to which the Governor and his staff were invited. The staff put on their most gorgeous uniforms. There were fif- teen or sixteen of them and they were re- splendent in gold lace and cord. ‘When the party reached the theater en- trance they found so many people there that somebody suggested they should go around and enter by way of the stage door. They encountered a stolid stage door- keeper who had been at his post for years and was used to the wiles of people who wanted to get behind the scenes. “Can’t get in here,” he said in a gruft voice. “But,” sald Mr. Cleveland, “I am the Governor.” The doorkeeper looked the Governor over carefully. Apparently he recognized him, for he said: “All right, Governor, you can go in.”" Then he waved his hand at the gaudy staff and announced: ‘“The band must go around the other way.'—New York Commercial.
