GIugETT1 ON THE TREATY

We are glad to record the fact that Gam
BETA, the leader of the French radicals, is
pleased. We doubt if, during his whole
career as public man, this has occurred be-
fore. He is one of those mortals who never
seem to agree with anybody else. Like
Wendell Phillips, Dixie, Garibaldi and q
few other of the impracticables OF the world,
he conceives it to be his duty to object to
everything that anybody else does. He raises
a standard of excellence and gauges all
public acts by it. The standard is so high
that no falible mortal can ever hope to at
tain it, and though he honestly aims to reach
it but yet falls short of the mark, he must
expect to brave the censure and criticism of
Gambetta. He is chronic fault-fnder who
cannot be pleased, and does not wish to be
pleased, with anything save his own con-
duct. His ideal is absolute perfection; all
other mems ideas are pernicious-fraught
with danger to human liberty, and meriting
the most scathing denunciation. 1t makes
to secure the same ends; if they adopt other
means than those he employs they merit and
receive censure.
Perhaps a man of this sort is necessary in
every nation. They are generally quick to
detect pernicious doctrines and fearless in
their denunciation. True, by their factious
and sometimes blind and indiscriminate
complaining they occasionally OBJ
struct progress, but the great good they
accomplish through their watchfulness OF
the interests of their pet ideas, their jeal-
ousy of any departure from certain narrow
path, more than counterbalances the ill they
| do. Although their perpetual snarling al
others, their constant complaining at the
well-meant efforts Of persons as sincerely pa
| triotic and honest as themselves, sometimes
become monotonous, and lead us to wish
they were in perdition or anywhere else
where they might be muzzled, there occa-
sionally comes a season of refreshing
such as this that has come ovel
Gambetta. It comes upon us with all the
unexpectedness of clear, limpid spring Of
pure water in desert, surprising and refresh.
ing us-a full compensation for all the worry
and WEAKNESS of toll and travel over the
arid wastes of biliousness that have so con
tinuously met our gaze.
The thing that has pleased Gambetta Sc
wonderously is the treaty of Berlin. He
finds in it his hearts desire-the change Of
the policy of England from conservatism ia
] radicalism. In the occupation Of Cyprus

The Chicago Market on Friday.

[Chicago Tribune of Saturday Morning.
Wheat-This market was active, feverish, at
times very much excited, prices fuctuating
with unusual freedom, closing about 15c high
er than on Thursday on deliveries for this
month, but nc lower on the August and Sep
TENDER options. The deal was a very contrary
one, and operators were largely at sea during
the greater portion of the session. The causes
affecting the market were numerous, and with
al quite interesting. 1t has been well under
stood for some time past that strong parties
were under the market, and practically con-
trolled the great bulk of the wheat at leading
points, which was no great thing to do, as the
visible supply of all grades in store, afoat,
and in transit by rail on July 20 was only
4,4O4, 900 blu. But some time ago. when the
prospects for the harvest yield of 1879 were de-
cidedly bright, great many sold freely for de-
livery up to September. Later on the crop
prospects were not SO favorable. This gave
those in authority greater strength. and
having secured full control of the wheat, they
had little or no difficulty in adj
yancing prices which they have done quite
rapidly, within the last few days. The corner
at Milwaukee, and the semi-corner at Chicago
especially in July wheat, has resulted 30 far in
large losses to these short sellers, and. though
some of them filled in their contracts and took
the other side of the deal, the uncertainty of
those outside of the ring caused teverishness,
recollections of the coup0 etat of ring some
very few weeks ago being still fresh in the
minds of many, hence left little show for the
use of any judgment Many thought prices
would be materially higher yesterday, as they
knew the market was completely controlled by
prominent men here and at Milwaukee, and SO
they purchased freely early in the day on home
as well as outside account, free buying orders
coming in by mail and telegraph. Then the
severe rain STERN of Tuesday night was looked
upon as likely to prove very injurious to the
grain in shock or yet uncut, and, altogether, at

What a Local Paper Says.
Milwaukee News. July ~,


The market yesterday for August No. 2
opened at Sl.O211s, one cent higher than the
closing price the preceding afternoon, fell al
and then slid steadily to 9714c. Septem be +
opened at SIC, fell to 9419c, rose to sc, and
then tumbled to 9211c. On the call board at
220 P. NJ both these options closed FULLY one cent
higher, although it would have been impossible
to get rid of large lines at these figures. This
decline is to be attributed to the influence of
more favorable local crop prospects on the
minds of country buyers, the desire of holders
to realize, and standing orders of distant buy
ers to sell on the first decline. There was much
excitement and about 100000 bushels
changed hands.
There is no nominal change to note in the
price of July, although McGeoch was said to
be settling at slightly under his price of the
preceding day.

terday that Alexander Mitchell the day before
released all his mortgages on McGeochs prop
erty, and had pronounced that gentleman
better off than he had ever been. Good for

Yesterday evening, the Nens reporter saw two
kilograms that had just been received in the
Office of w. P. McLaren Co. One of them
which was considered good authority, dated st.
Paul, estimated the damage to crops in Mime
sofa, from 80 to 40 per cent. the average yield
crop % to rs bushels. The other dispatch,
from source entirely Independent of the
former, confirmed it in striking degree. This
estimate gives the damage at 40 per cent. for
Minnesota and Iowa, the average yield 2s,000,-
600, adding that when the crop comes to be
threshed it may average less than this estimate.
Thos. Doyle, Esq, who is at times a large
operator on Change, has been all along sup
posed to be short on July. The contrary was
the case. He was long l25,O0O bushels, of
which he sold $4,000 Thursday at S1.15, and
and offered to sell the balance at 1z5c below Nc

A Trip Upon the Raging Thiokety.

n 3fiP opou tn6 n3SlnB 1utCxoty.
DEAR EpIToR .-Notwithstaading the dry
dull times, some Of our vigilant and assduous
citizens can find enjoyment in breaking of from
the monotoay Of farm life and taking a trip in
the way Of an excursion, which at the present
day is quite fashionable. ssxs
Yesterday, 17th inst, while your people were
enjoying o pleasant excursion trip over the
Mountains Of North Carolina, breathing pure air,
drinking good water, and having good time
generally, some Of our citizens were enjoying
good ride down Thickety creek, in search Of
roots, stumps, logs, sand bars, &c:
The Gotilid, 1 understand, consisted of two
wooden vessels, the "Iilot' and the "detecGpe,"
launched in the upper waters Of thickety creek.
These little aquatic pioneers, with their cargoes
Of human beings and the necessary implements
for "ciearing the Wdy," descended that historic
stream to Thomson's Mill. During the voyage
matters Of interest to the crew were discussed,
especially the expense and trouble to the corpor-
ators to clean out the creek. They struck no
torpedoes, however.
Had the water in the creek not been 50 low,
in consequence of the dry weather, the excur-
siouists would have had more pleasant trip,
and obviated the necessity Of getting out so Of
ten to push of or pull oUer some oh iruction in
the creek. From what learn Fl ON the passen.'
gers, the stream is navgable, for pleasure boats,
in its present condition. As n craft has been
filed up and launched for the purpose, you will
doubtless hear Of another excursion by the
Corporators, who, / presume, will observe the
proprieiy Of making their trip on higher
tide As matters develop themselves we will
attempt to inform the public through the COL
umns of your paper; but at the present, pru-
dence ftrbids our specializing too far upon the
issue. ANONYMOUS

GOVERNOR HAMrToN.-In the ColletQn County

Thcr, was no organization of our people in

wns no paltering with truth. There was no
shadow of deception There was no effort to

actcr as his and the sense of the profound poll
cy he represents, how utterly insignificant are
the small politicians Of the hour.

TO be Governor, except rs it would enable him
20 serve his country, he understands neither the
position nor the character Of the man. How

and luxury. His manhood wrestles with the
bear in bogs and cane brakes Of the Mississippi,
