the Fort Smith railroad have been
stopped by the Brooksites to prevent
members Of the Legislature and troops

We, the undersigned, members ol

come here to meet under the call OF
Governor Baxter on Tomorrow, sud we
wish to meet and settle the troubles
now existing here as the country re-
ouires it, and we respectfully
ask the protection of the
general Government while we meet
and deliberate. We hold that the mat
ter should not be postponed and all that
we can do to have fair and honora-
BILE adjustment shall be done, and un-
less we are protected there NAV be
bloodsbed iu a very short time, and
the consequence no one can tell. We
are we'll satisfied that there will be a
quorum OF the legislators present to-
morrow under the call OF Governor Bax'
ter, and we are Satisfied a quorum
would be here now were it not tor the
unwarranted seizure OF the trains on

Chicago Markets..

A fair improvement has taken place
in Chicago wholesale trade during the
past week. Dry goods; millinery,
boots and shoes, building materials,
and numerous minor branches of trade
have been only fairly active, but in
grain, live stock, lumber and provisions
the movement was probably fully equal
to the expectations Of most merchants
Wheat, corn and other cereals have
been in fair demand on Change, but
the stocks were accumulating, as the re-
ceipts were considerably improved, and
lower prices were realized. The sup
ply of barley, however, has proved very
light, and a good deal is being received
in New York from Europe. Our -four
t1ade is hardly Of a satisfactory charac-
ter; as shippers are deferred from pur-
chasing to any considerable extent by
the dullness of Eastern and European
markets, and under large and increas-
ing stocks, prices are barely maintained.
The receipts of cattle and hogs show a
material falling of, and prices rule firm
er and better, large numbers being pur-
erased for New York, Albany, Boston,
Pittsburg, Buffalo and other prominent
Eastern markets. At the leading lum.
ber yards trade continues unusually
brisk for the season, the inquiry being
chiefly for common grades for the inte.
rior towns and villages. The stocks of
lumber are very moderate, and prices
for common boards, joist, scantling and
fencing are about fifty cents better than
a week ago. From Mackinaw comes
the cheerful intelligence that the ice at
the straits is thin, and an early opening
of lake navigation is generally predicted
by the experienced. The movement Of
currency to the country has been rather
light, and as the receipts are large,
money is decidedly plenty.

Remarkable Mortality.

The most remarkable instance Of
mortality in a single family that proba-
bly, ever occurred has taken place in
Blnghamton, N. Y. On Sunday, Dec.
18th, Mr.. and Mrs. Holiday celebrated
the sixty-6fth anniversary Of their we'd
ding at townsville, Delaware county.
At that time sixteen children of the
family, Of which Mrs. Holiday was the
eldest, were all living, and fourteen
brothers and sisters Of MIR. Holiday
were also in good health and present at
the anniversary. Since then the entire
family, thirty-all, in fact, except Mr..
and Mrs. Holliday-have died.

Abuse of the Whiskey License.

In speaking Of the various bills and
theories in Congress and in the State
Legislatures, in reference to the subject
of Temperance, the Winona Republican
has the following on the subject of
licensing everybody and anybody who
applies:
"Not only are our license laws mad
equate in themselves, but they are
shamefully abused. Gun. powder, nitro
glycerine. and prussic acid can only be
sold under very stringent regulations
and by men of good sense, respectability
and some claim to moral responsibility !;
but any blear eyed rufian who can
scrape together money enough to buy
barrel Of poisoned whiskey and pay
for a chep license, can set up a grog-
shop and deal out his fiery mixtures to
reeling sots. The Irishman who. in
the days when something like charac-
ter was (nominally) required of per-
son engaging in the liquor trade, ap-
piled for license, and, in reply to the
usual question, said that 'sbe jabers,
he didn't think it required good
character to sell whiskey," was thou ught
to have made an effective rejoinder :;
but the truth is that it requires more
wisdom, firmness, moral principle, con-
scientious honesty and integrity to sell
whiskey as it should be sold, than it
does to deal in any other article that
men buy and sell. 1t is mainly the
lowest and meanest rum holes that are
now being closed in various places by
the woman's crusade, and to that ex-
tent they are doing a good work. It
would be an unmixed blessing and ben
eft to all our large cities and towns if
three-fourths Of their grog-shops were
permanently shut, and in their stead a
few high-priced licenses issued to repu-
table citizens, who should be put under
bonds to dispense none but pure liquors,
and whose licenses should be promptly
revoked and never renewed on suitable
evidence that they had willfully given
or sold liquor to confirmed sots or to
minors. If ii addition to this precau-
zion skillful inspectors were appointed

Wisconsin Legislature.

"a fatal day for the monopolies," is
the head line, which appears in late
issue of the Milwaukee Sentinel over
the proceedings of the legislature. It
was !" fatal day for the monopolies"
when the Reformers elected branch of
the Legislature, and monopolies, their
tools and representatives have long since
discovered it. Railroads at the begin
ming of the present session sent, as usu-
al, their representatives to Madison
The lobbies were filled with the Elmores,
the Crockers, and other monopoly tools,
who in times past have been able to
browbeat Legislators to threaten them
into submission, to obtain for their
masters such legislation as they might
need, and to snap their fingers in the
face ofan outraged people. How have
these monopoly tools succeeded during
the present session? In the face of their
threats once so powerful, despite all the
influences they could bring to bear, and
Notwithstanding the power and wealth
by which they are supported they have
been utterly unable to prevent legisla-
ton in the interests Of the people, and
against the extortions of monopoly.
They howled when the Assembly pro.
posed to increase the tax upon the gross
earnings Of railroads, and threatened
the representatives Of the people, but
the tax was nevertheless raised to five
per cent. being the very increase which
a convention Of farmers had re-
quested The position Of things in this
state is reversed. The people and not
monopolies now hold the power, and
will continue TO As long as they elect
the proper men to represent them. Il
