CHICAGO, with its natural tendency tc
hyper bole and extravaganza, is already con-
graduating herself on becoming the chic
centre OF an immense tea, coffee and spice
trade. Because the nations which have en-
gagged the most extensively in this trade have
always led the commerce of the world, and
because the cities commanding the largest
proportions of it have been vastly enriched
thereby, Chicago has determined to engage in
it. She is to make a jealous, persistent Ell
fort to become the distributing depot not
only of great Mississippi valley, but OF the en-.
tire continent. She win soon make it appar-
ent to the merchants of Philadelphia, New.
York, and Boston that it will be to their in.
terest to establish wholesale houses of these
valuable commodities in Chicago in preference
to their own cities. This would be stupen
dous undertaking for any other than a city
which has "by persistent energy and restless.
enterprise gotten together the nine best ball
players in Amarica-the conquerors of the
invincible Red Stockings, the indomitable
Mutuals, and the sturdy Athletics-the white.
legged champions of the continent"

The DoNALDsoNviLLE RIoT-The New Or
leans Republican has report "that Laws shot
the Mayor and was himself killed in the me-
lee, and that the reported confagration was
the camp fire OF the United States troops who
had arrived and taken possession of the town.
Six hundred State militia left here tonight for
the scene Of the riot. There is great excite
ment here, and from the many conflicting re-
ports it is impossible to get at the truth of the
affair. Full particulars will probably not be
had before tomorrow morning."

THE Revolution makes strong poin,
against the prevailing treatment of women by
hotelkeepers. A recent case in this connec.
ton, where hotel proprietor was alleged to
have most shamefully treated a female guest
calls forth strong ebulition of wrath from
Mis-. Ballard. She says: SIT is a frequent
boast OF Americans that woman may travel
alone across the length and breadth of our
country, not only without danger of insult,
but that she is sure of receiving fiom every
one she meets the greatest courtesy and kind
ness; ready assistance in any little difficulty
or perplexity is offered her by all gentlemen,
since it is taken tor granted that woman is
entitled TO all respect and courtesy until, by
her own conduct, she forfeits her claim to re-
ceive it. But this general principle, so credit
able 10 both men AID women OF America is
not accepted by the botel proprietors of our
country. A single woman shrlnks from pre-
sentIng herself at one OF these temporary So
journs; for f>she does not receive insult in
words, she has to pass critical survey from
the officials, who scan her from head to loot
in attempting to decide for themselves wheth-
eT she is or is not respectable woman, while
her blood tingles in every vein with her
shame and indignation at this NIUE investi-
CATION of her moral character"

Speaker Blaine's reelection:
There has been good deal of speculation

tanning whether there would be strength
enough among those members elected as rev.

as supporters of civil service reform, to elect
the speaker with the help of the free trade
democrats, and to control the organization Of
the next House.

Thursday afternoon in Boston, the following
resolutions of respect to his memory were
adopted:
Whereas, the intelligence has reached us of
the deathsof our associate, Capt. Edward Good

ties of heart and mind, his excellent traits of
character, aid his many kindly acts, has
changed our pleasant thoughts to eorrowful
vacancy it has made in our midst

rarely is there to be found one who more com
pletely filled the measure of the character of q
good man than our friend who has Just passed
away; that in whatever aspects his lite may be
viewed, traits are presented which arouse at
once our pleasure and our pride.
ResolUed, That we recall with satisfaction the
many agreeable associations we have had with
him, the remembrance of which will always
live in minds.
RESOLVED. That it is gratifying to consider the
