WALL STREET YEsTERDAY.-The stock mar
ket was firm in tone, but inactive. The adj
vance and decline in the principal active stocks
were but slight, with the exception of tho coal
stocks which fell OIL. Gold opened and closed
Mt 1O5ls and business was done at this price.
Government securities were strong and frac-
ton higher, and railroad bonds generally ad-
vanced. Money on call was easy at gig 3 per
cent, the former being the closing figure.
PECULIAR Custom House RULINGS are not
confined to American ports, rs our Mexican nd
vices conclusivey show.
THE JOCKEY CLUB ENTRIES show that there
are prizes around which claimants are even
more numerous than they are about Southern
State houses
A DISTINGUISHED WARRIOR made quite long
excursion by rail yesterday ut the expense of
his grateful fellow citizens. Read "Joe Co
burn"
IT SEEMS that the great Union League meet
ing was not a love feast after all. Too much talk
about reform generally does chill tho fervor Of
fraternal gatherings.
LOUISIANA DOES Nor PROPOSE to abandon the
sensational DRAMA 1t now seems probable that
the Nichols Legislature will send o republican
to the United States Senate.
By TIE BOARD OF EDUCATIoN's adoption of q
certain bill yesterday the Legislature is given
opportunity to condem that sham economy which
seeks it's ends by impairing the efficiency Of our
public school system.
SENATOR BLAINE is not to have q monopoly
Of Louisiana dispatches. That one which Scna-
tor Bayard received yesterday was signed by men
who arc trusted ut least as much in Louisiana US
Mr.. Packard himself.
WEST STREET became yesterday the scene of
the railroad war, and the most careless spectator
could not fail to perceive that if that thorough
fare is finally given over to the dummy it will
not be because there any dummies among tho
opponents of the scheme.
The INDEFArrGABLE CoMsrocK, of the Society
for the Suppression of Vice, has discovered new
world to conquer, and the report of his engage
ments yesterday will be found exciting. Public
rejoicing should he deferred, however, until it is
ascertaned whether the captor will be able to
retain his prisoners and spoils.
THE TELEPHONE still holds its own. We record
this morning the fact Of the successful trans
initial Of sound from Chicago to Detroit, q dis
tance of nearly three hundred miles. If this
enterprise is properly managed the country Mt
large may yet be compelled to listen by wire
to all the sorehead speeches made in Congress,
and thus learn what heroic endurance is neccs-
sary to the loyal Congressman who earns his
salary by being always III his seat
THE OPINIONS of the Superintendent Of Build
ings upon the cause of the Washington street
breakdown should be carefully considered by
lcssces everywhere. There is apparently an i'm
precision abroad that any building is strong
enough to sustain the weight of whatever ma
terial can be crowded into it. A little observa-
ton of buildings in course of construction, how
ever, will convince the most sceptical that the
outside Of many q business house is a safer loung-
Sng place than the inside.
A WEEK OF DAYS like yesterday would leave
ne would-be insurer of his life in little doubt as
10 what companies to patronizc, for there would
he few or mono left. Tho placing of five COM
panies In the hands of q receiver by request
Il the superintendent of tho Insurance Depart
rnent Of the State, shows that the HERALD has I'M
ulcrstated rather than exaggerated the dangers of
careless investments of this important character.
II seems also to show that the State Department
of Ins,rance has not heretofore fulfilled the re-
uuirements justly made upon it.
IT IA TO BE HoPED that the earnest appeal
published this morning for moro participants in
Inc interstate rifle match will be generally
l,.uaded. New York and Connecticut have felt
extremely lonesome at Creedmoor during these
uatches in tho pest two years, and would DO
really grateful for the beating which the crack
,,,ots of other states insist could be easily in
aicted. The conceit of these Eastern men may
49, "a be taken out Of them, but they arc Of
,ouzvs incapable Of doing y for themselves y
