IMPROVEMENT IN BUSINESS. The movements of the stock exchanges may commonly be accepted as fairly accurate evidence of the opinions held by the country's captains of finance and industry In respect to the business future. A temporary movement of prices up or down may be engineered by brokers engaged in "corners," or other like manipulations, but long-continued advances and declines testify to the real convictions of investors. This truth is recognized by careful observers, among whom Wall street is regarded as a business barometer. The average populist does not understand that Wail street only records settled convictions as to the value of stocks and bonds, but believes that it dictates such values, just as some ignorant rersons think that our weather bureau makes the weather it announces.

No well-informed person considers the barometer a weather-breeder. It merely indicates changes of the atmosphere which are matters of fact and which it is useless to lament. A sensible person will take a like view of Wall street price fluctuations. They merely record, us a rule, the judgments of the best-informed business men of the country. Lo' ked at in this way the present rapid advance of railroad and industrial stocks and bonds in Wall street becomes a very interesting fact.

It testifies to a belief on the part of a great many very shrewd people that the immediate future, at least, is likely to see a decided increase of prosperity. Last Saturday the first prices of leading stocks were several points above the closing prices of Friday. There was some excitement, and the dny's record showed dealings aggregating 323,863 shares, with advancing prices. This was a record not equaled since the panic of the Venezuela scare, December 21, 1895, when the movement was in the oiher direction. The character of the present bull movement seems to be further indicated by the dealings in bonds, which aggregated as much as $1,763,000, at improved figures.

London selling seems no longer to affect transactions materially. Our own people are buying stocks and bonds to keep, it seems, and are confident in their opinion that values are going to Improve further all along the line. Since April last there has been a continued rise in stocks, the advance being pretty general and ranging from 10 to 20 points. A number of stocks have advanced over 25 points and American Sugar has gone up 36t points. Keasons for the better feeling are numerous and varied.

The crops are very large and prices are better, promising1 increased demand for all sorts of commodities. Wheat is about tweuty-five cents a bushel higher than it was twelve months ago, and at this enhanced price Europe Is expected to take some 200,000,000 bushels of the crop. England and France will want increased supplies, and Russia, India, Australia and Argentina our rivals will have diminished surpluses to sell at Liverpool in competition with us. Corn, cotton and other agricultural products are expected to be in like demand. Our exports were extraordinarily large last year and far in excess of our imports, with the result of giving us a credit balance abroad and causing gold to be sent us to settle part of the balance In our favor.

The gold reserve at Washington was thus protected from depletion, and even increased, to the great delight ot the business public, which looks to the gold reserve as the guarantee of the goodness of our currency. Happily, by reason of large exports, this situation seems likely to be repeated in the present year, so that legitimate cnuse of anxiety oo that account is deferred to the remote future. With the passing away of hard times political discontent and the spectre of free silver may be expected to vanish the one condition of a renewal of genuine, solid and permanent prosperity. Undoubtedly the stasnation of business, which was so general last year, is already to some extent corrected. Increased activity of our industries, increased earnings of our railroads, increased jobbing and retail trade these are indisputable.

The improvement may not be universal, nor all we desire, but it is a patent fact. DRY GOODS. ETC. 1 KAGER OF BALTIMORE, if RAGER OF BALTIMORB, BRAGER OF BALTIMORE.

9, 1S07. WILL HE BECOME A PROFESSOR? While the announcement or Senator Gorman's contemplated and voluntary retirement from the United States Senate has been generally received with expressions ot incredulty. not unmixed, we aro sorry to eay, with derision, there are serious-minded persons who, upon the principle, perhaps, that -there's ower a true word spoken in are or opinion that the coming session of the Legislature will mark the close of Mr. Gorman's senatorial career. The suggestion that the Senator himself proposes to withdraw from the contest in advance of the election, -while, as we say, by no means univei sally or even generally credited, has been hailed with ill-disguised satisfaction by soma who have heretofore been known to bask in the sunshine ct the Senator's favor and to be among the loudest in siug-in? his praises.

It Is true these fair-weather friends of what is suspected to be departing greatness usually qualify their opinions by reaffirming their individual and personal devotion to the Senator and their unshaken confidence in him as a party-leader. We do not know whether any of these unselfish friends of the Senator have ever taken the trouble to think of what career would be open to him should he, voluntarily or involuntarily, vacate his seat in the Senate and his position as chairman of the democratic caucus, of the steering committee, There is one man in the United States who has, apparently, thought of this, and has mapped out for Senator Gorman a career equally useful and distinguished in the event of his retirement" (voluntarily or involuntarily) as aforesaid. It is one of his own colleagues, and no less a person than the venerablo senior Senator from Massachusetts. At the opening of the summer school of Clark University, Wrrcester, the other day Senator Hoar delivered an address. This was before there had been any whisper of Senator Gorman's intention to retire," and the Massachusetts Senator must, therefore, bo acquitted of anything like collusion in making tiie suggestion he Cid make on that occasion.

Mr. Hoar deprecated the absence in this country ot any great university where the science, not to say tbe arts, of statesmanship were specifically taught. "Where," he asked pathetically, "is an Amercau legislator or statesman to learn anything of the mechanism of government as it exists in other countries, or, indeed, of a reat deal of it as it exists in our own?" Answering his own question, he advocated the establishment of a national university where the science of politics should be adequately taught by experienced masters and past masters of the art. The cost of its foundation." he enthusiastically contended, ''cannot be great. We have men who have large training in our own public life, such mea as Senator Allison or Senator Hale, or Senator Cockrill or Senator Gorman, who might easily fit themselves to conduct such an institution.

A chatr in such a university would be an object of high ambition for the most eminent of our statesmen when he should withdraw from active political life. Such a school established la America would, in my opinion, attract pupils from the whole civil zed world." It is not always easy to tell whether Senator Hoar is a profound satirist or simply an unconscious humorist. Certainly his persistent nabic of attributing to the United States Senate virtues which notoriously it does not possess has had the effect of directing public attention all the more forcibly to the weaknesses and shortcomiugs ot that body. Save us from our friends and apologists may well be the cry of Senator Hoar's colleagues. It is impossible, therefore, to know whether his present suggestion of Senator Gorman as the possible head of a great university, in which the ingenuous youth of America are to be trained in the paths of statesmanship and "instructed in the mechanism of government," is seriously meant or not.

"Mechanism" is a goud word and admirably adapted to Senator Gorman's peculiar talents. "Machinery" would ills convey the same idea. Professor Gorman's chair in the proposed university would be that undoubtedly of "applied polities," applied to the art of getting office and staying there. A course of lectures by the on "The art of living luxuriously in Washington on a year" would attract widespread attention. On the subject of legislative "hold-ups," "compromises" and "straddles," the knowledge that he possesses and is capable of imparting surpasses probably that of any of his colleagues.

It will be noticed that while Senator Hoar includes hiiu in the list of eligibles" for his proposed university, he omits probably, as in his judgment men of inferior merit, such distinguished practitioners as Quay and Piatt. But, perhaps, although we see no evidence of it in the comments of the New Ecglana press upon Senator Hoar's adiress, which appears to have been taken in perfect good' faith and seriousness by those who heard it, the old gentleman was only having his sly joke at the expense of his colleagues, for whom he thus suggested a congenial and useful employment in their approaching retirement." And, perhaps. Senator Gorman is only having his little joke in suggesting the possibility of his own "retirement." He may be only testing in this way the sincerity of some of his professed and devoted friends. As for other persons, it is already sufficiently evident that they will hold their judgments in suspense as to Senator Gorman's real intentions until after the November elections. Then, and not before, they will be able to judge of the probability of his "retiring." In the meantime he may think over Senator Hoar's kind suggestion.

'HE SUN PRINTING ESTABLISHMENT. 1 EAT, ACCURATE, PROMPT. THE SPANISH PREMIER'S ASSASSINATION. Senor Canovas, prime minister of Spain, was yesterday assassinated at Santa Agueda by an Italian anarchist. The prime miuister lived about one hour after he was shot The Incident is a lamentable one, and the more so because the victim of the assassin was an estimable man.

whose only offense, it appears, from the point of view of his assailant, was that he was at the head of the government. Like the killing of the Czar Alexander and the President of the French Kepublic. this onslaught was a protest against the idea of authority and a demand for the abolition of all government. The character of tbe victim was not in question. He suffered merely because he happened to be the prime minister.

As anarchists form in Spain, as elsewhere, a very small minority, the assassination of Seaor Canovas does not Involve directly any important Dolitical consequences. It can hardly affect the form of government, and least of all the war for the suppression of the rebellion in Cuba, upon which all parties in Spain are united. Auurcaist outrages are not novelties in Spain. Ou February 19, 1895, a bomb wasexpioded by anarchists in tbe garden of the royal palace at Madrid. In June of that year there was a bomb exploded in Madrid and an explosion at Barcelona, planned by 00 anarchists, by which 15 persons in a religious procession were killed.

The thrower of tue bomb in this latter case was a Frenchman. Other ouTages of like character have been rather common at Barcelona, the population of which city contains a large turbulent element. An ad-interim ministry has been formed under the presidency of Senor Cos-Gayon, minister of the interior. THEY AKE FOR L5LOOI). An unusually large crop or mosquitoes is reported from all the mosquito-growing districts of the county, and their activity and keeu interest in human affairs are so great as to be really painful.

While they cannot be regarded as exactly the ad vance agents of prosperity, except in so far as they themselves prosper at the general expense, they unquestionably take sides on one of the chief issues of the day, and be-heve in levying a high tariff on everything with blood in it that comes their way. Like trusts and monopolies that suck their advantage from the popular veins by means of protection, the mosquito regards the human body as created expressly for its benefit. Unlike them, however, it frequently gets smashed. But it is a gay, irresponsible pirate, living on the fat as well as the lean of the land, never so happy as when It is illustrating the beauty of making other people coatribute to its support and rendering life hideous with its little song about the loveliness and wholesomen ess of bloodletting. If one cannot be a member of the Sugar Trust, it is probably almost as pleasant to belong to a syndicate of able-bodied mosquitoes at a seaside resort.

The student of curious coincidences will doubtl ess note with interest the raot that the inauguration of the Dicgley bill, with its best of tormenting and vexatious exactions, is synchronous with the production by nature of a largely increased army of natural custom house officers and revenue collectors instructed to force every man, woman and child whom they meet to pay in blood for every ounce Of food they import into their bodies.
