MILWAUKEE, July 3l.-The "corner' in
wheat eliminated amid great excitement at
2.30 this afternoon. A few minutes before the
noon board closed, Mr.. McGooch instructed
his brokers to bid 1.3O for all the July wheat

of the board who claim that their deals are
mafgined to higher figure than the closing
prices but they were forbidden by their
customers to settle. The matter will be
thrown into the hands of the committee on
arbitration. McGooch & Co.'s profits by the
corner is variously estimated at from 100000
to $780, OO It is certainly the most SUCCESS

10, s,.atf1h 81 uext month, tho Demo-
80. - fl,is state will meet in conven-
~, e baton Rouge. But one candi-
.tlate Is to benominated by the conven-
iona candidate for State Treasurer,
TO succeed the negro, Dubuclet, who Is
now state Treasurer. A convention Of
the Democrats of State to nominate
a candidate for only one Office is, pre-
sumably, a very Insignificant affair.
/; For the nomination for Treasurer
there are four aspirants, and we name
them: Major 8. d. Oliver, of East
Carroll; Captain Landry, OF Orleans;
Col. r. Richardson, of Ouachita, and
Major J. G. Moncure, Of Caddo. Select
ing either of these gentlemen as the
nominee tor Treasurer, the Baton
$ Rouge Convention will not miss US,
very far =. 49,.
81 The serious business of tho conven-
ton will come up when the question
OF a new State Constitution is broached'
This, the life and soul OF good govern
ment in Louisiana, is a question which
can no more be put aside than the
supremacy OF the white race over tht
black. Louisiana stands alone-tht
only unredeemed State in tho Union
1t is, still, the paradise Of carpet
baggers and tramps-the lost goslin o
all the Southern States. Tho Bato'
Rouge Convention ought to meet thi
question fairly and without equivoca
ton. It must not be dodged, as, 70
instance, by referring the matter t
the legislature In its wisdom, bccaus
that amounts to nothing, rs an ez
preston of opinion; but the Conven
ton. should say that Louisiana eithe
needs new Constitution, or does moi
It is high time Louisiana should b
redeeEled.
