CHICAGO. September 19.-The rapid ad-
vance in provisions Which has been going
on for the past three days has caused the
suspension 10 day Of joseph Jones & Sons,
one OF the Oldest firms on Change, and also
Of Campbell and johnson; they we're chic fl =
interested in lard and short ribs, and "a the
decreasing stocks OF there provisions have
almost the Shorts" there was strong
pressure TO buy during the greater portion
OF the day, and consequent sharp ad,
vance.
The grain market has also been strong
and, although outside prices were not main
tanned to the close, there was no visibi,
weakness among the holders, and the com
paratiye smallness of the receipts of grair
has a tendency to still further enhance The
values. Active business is confidently
expected during the fall and winter.

They Will Lose NO Opportunity.
New York Times.l


The Republicans of South Carolina de-
serve credit for their heroism and patience.
They know thst they have been cheated,
and that they will be cheated again, by the
Democrats, but they propose to 60 into the
next canvass just as though nothing had
happened to discourage them. E1-
Congressman MACKEY, who was openly
and shsmefully defrauded of his reelection
last Autumn, ihinkstha the exposure Of
the tissue-psper ballots has go dismayed
the Democrats that they will not resort TO
such nefsrious schemes at another election.
A more schrewd and less charitable Judge
ment il, that when Democrats boast Of
cheating each other, as in Charleston, they
will not be sufficiently sensitive to allow
a little thing like the exposure OF the tissue
ballot swindle to deter them from steal ing
an election from Republican voters when
ever they have the chance.

LUCAS, IN ConcovIllas, Cubs, have risen In
rebellion against the SPsnisrds and have
IoIned the patriots, taking with them a
large proportion Of their masters cattle.
There is great indignation in Cuba over
the massacre OF about seventeen officers
who served in the late Cuban revolutions
on the patriots side, but OF late been re-
siding in different places and following
their different ayocatiOns. FROM their
past records, they were suspicioned of
being in sympathy with the present revo-
luton. Some were killed in their homes
before their wives and children's eyes by
the Spanish troops, and others were taken
into the woods and slaughtered. The Cap
tain General Is causing an investigation,
and has cited the Governors at Calen, Glen
fugas and VI itanzt to appear before him
TO explain the cause Of these bulcheries.

KANSAS CITY, No, Sept. l9-Gen. Thos.
Conway, of New Jersey, the leader of the
colored exodus movement, IN an interview
with Journal reporter, said that informa-
tion from reliable sources was that during
the next year 100000, if not more, colored
people will emigrate from the South to the
North and West.
Tie pauper element will not be promi-

score of the Southern refugees who have
gone into Kansas during the pat summer

no opposition in settling in Kansas, and he

the Western States, and could fad homes

The same Old story.

Let it not be forgotten that the ideas and
Ian uage now used by Jefferson Davis, and
under his direction by the Democratic par
ty, to justify the doctrine of State rights, is
the identical language used by the same
man in 1861 to justify secession aud revo-
luton. If the same clauses produce the
same effects the success Of the State rights
party in 1880 will lead to another attempt
at secession. with all its dreadful conse-
guences. What reason have we to believe
that language which was interpreted one
way in 1861 would be interpreted in anoth-
ca way in 1881?

The Over-Productinn Theory Ex-
pi0ded.


Only little while ago the doctrine was
taught that over-production had caused
the hard times. Wise heads conferred
together to adopt measures to limit pro-
duction to the public needs. Long essays
were written by political economists to
bring manufacturers to a more reasonable
state Of mind. Excess to supply over de
mand was the general cry in both Europe
and America. In this country a sudden
change has taken place, and the position is
radically reversed. According to one Of
the leading organs of the iron trade, the
Bulletin, of the American Iron and Steel
association, We are importing largely oil
iron fabrics, rails, ETC., from England to
make up our own deficiency, and the
country as not yet producing as much il or
as it consumes. The over-producticI
theory is exploded.

The investigations instituted by Leeisla-
lures and Courts Of Law into the affairs of
railroad companies are usually ineffective
in getting at the facts. The reason of it is
probably to be found In the fact that the
inquiries are not conducted BY experts.
Those details of their business which the
companies care to conceal are buried from
sight under . mas Of irrelevant matter.
the committees Of inquiry and the lawyers
are lost or confused in a wilderness of fig
ures they do 70. understand. The road to
truth is thus blockaded. The time will
come when it will be necessary, alike in the
interests Of the public and the interests of
the owners OF railroads, tina, system of
accounts shall be kept of railroad business
which shall be a revelation of their affairs
instead OF a labyrinth of corcealment.

As further particulars Of the crisis in
Afghanistan are made known, it becomes
evident that Eogland committed serious
blunder in forcing paid ruler upon the
throne at Cabul, and then trusting ,hst he
would be accepted without protest by the
people. The revolt gains strength every
day, and it is not unlikely that England
will willingly embrace some form Of CON-
promise to get out Of her dilemma. Russia

A very considerable trade has been
gradually diverted from England of late
years, in the shape OF machine made doors,
window sashes, and other joinery, which

large numbers. The trade first commenced
in 1877, when :, 800 doors were shipped to
Great Britain, an amount which lat year
was increased to 5000. The New York

Advance IN the Price or spring Wheat
IChicago Tribune, l6.l


The advance of yesterday in the price Of
spring wheat on the Chicago Board Of
Trade was doubtless in great measure due
to the rather critical relations between
England and Russia, brought about by the
recent renewal of troubles in Afghanistan.
A war between these two nations would
effectually lock up the supply of wheat
from the Black Sea ports, and as Russia is
the only country in Europe which has q
bushel Of wheat to spare, the entire Euro
yean demand would, in the event of war,
fall upon the surplus product Of the United
States, with the result of q heavy advance
in prices. The feeling that the European
situation is full Of hostile possibilities, to.
eether with the steady and regular call for
wheat TO fill shippiog orders, has made the
market firm and given values an upward
tendency very much to the advantage Of
the farmer.
