4 MoHopoLY IN LIGHT.-The present
price of kerosene oil, which, as everybody
who uses the article is fully aware, is more
than double the price OF a few months ago,
is due wholly to the operations Of the Stand
ard Oil Company. That corporation, by
buying up numerous retineries, and by per.
suadin. or coercing all the rest which could
compete with it. has gained control OF the
oil trade OF the country and the world. The
only limit to the price consumers must pay

A New York correspondent says the
dry goods merchants OF that city are
speaking very hopefully of the pros
poets for good fall trade. The riots,
they say, could not have happened at
a better time for them than thus "be-
tween seasons" There were but few
goods to be forwarded to the interior,
and the interruption Of transportation,
was not seriously felt. There
are many Southern and Western buy
ers in the city who will take hold in a
day or two. The certainty OF abund.
ant crops warrant the belief that the
West is going to be more liberal pur'
chaser than any season since the panic
of 1878.

During the last days Of Grants ad'
minstratlon, when he was hesitatlng
whether to decide IN favor OF Nichols
or Packard, the doughty Governor OF
Pennsylvania, John F. Hartranft, ca.
tering to prejudiccs OF his party, ana
appealing solely to brute force, sent q
oompous telegram to Grant offering TO
furnish $4,000 volunteers to suppress
the white people of Louisiana. This
was paraded over the North as evil
dence that Pennsylvania had a loyal
Governor to stand by the government,
which is generally understood in that
section TO he the Republican party
The offer was not acted upon. Hayes
came in and finally removed the sup,
port of the troops FROM Packard, and
Nichols became Governor de facto as

individual in New Orleans sent the fol-
lowing squib to the Chicago Times
To His Excelenoy, John F. Hartranit,

Your noble offer but short time
back to send $4,000 men to suppress
and crush the people of Louisiana has
not been forgotten by her sons: and,
now, finding you are in trouble to man
age your own difficulties, don't you
think you had better call on the White
League of Louisiana, as they may
prove gentlemen instead of renegades,
as you once called them2 l think
they can teach your militia how to
