The shipments would have been larger,

past two o. three days that the giowers
prefer 10 allow the fruit to rot on the
trees in preference to going to the
troublc and expense Of gathering it.
Tho q7ality Of the fruit that is being
shipped is excellent, and some of the
railco officials state that it exceeds
that Of the past five years. The trouble
in regard to the fruit is that it is not
picked until il is just ripe enough to be
eaten a once, and in consequence of that
fact it soon rots on the hands of the
buyers. If the prices remain as low as
at present, it is very probable that the
growers will make compost of the fruit.

tary establishment because France and
Russia have enlarged theirs. Naturally
the French and Russians will find it nec-
essary to draw ew more thousands of
their people from the pursuits of peace
to match the new battalions of the Ber.
lin kaiser. There is no limit to this sort
Of thing while the material for fighting
men holds out, unless the unmilitary
portion of the population get tired of the
taxation necessary to support these vast
armaments. There are abundant symp.
toms that the popular patience is nearly
exhausted, at least in Russia and Ger
many. The French bear their huge bur.
dens with remarkable fortitude for the
present, because they are persuaded that
it is necessary in preparing for the re-.
venge which is their engrossing passion.
1t would undoubtedly be well for Eu.
rope if something like the "holy ALI.

league would enable all the nations to
disarm.

SENATOR VOORHEES, had an enthusias.
tic reception at Terre Haute, his home,
on arriving there from Washington on
Saturday last. He was escorted to the
Terre Haute House, and at half past one
o'clock he was serenaded at the hotel,
and in response to call, mounted bug
gy in front of the hotel, and addressed
the crowd for half an hour.
He gave in brief the result of the work
of the extra session, referring to the con-
test between the President and Congress
as conflict between the representatives
of the people and an autocratic execu.
tive. The Democratic majority had
made the fight for the freedom Of the
ballot, and has taken from the executive
the power to place troops at the polls
He was ready any time to meet his enc.
mics, the representatives of the money
power, on any Of the issues, dead or alive.
This was as near as he came to an allu.
sion to the ex.soldiers in this city, who,
it will beremembered, failed to denounue
him as was the purpose ofits originators.

The Keene wheat "dealp seems to
have closed, after an existence of about
nine months. Last October James Keene
entered the Chicago market as a buyer,
and, after picking up several million
bushels in that city, found it necessary,
or advisable, to extend his operations to
other cities. Since last autumn he has
partially controlled the worlds supply
of wheat, and few persons have been
able to trade in it without paying him
tribute. In the past nine months he
has handled about 10000, 900 bushels of
wheat in Chicago and other markets,
two.thirds being bought and sold in
Chicago. The operation has been con-
Quoted with ability, and the whole world
of wheat traders has been affected.

Mr.. s. ScHULElN, a'business man OF Ft.
Scott, Kansas, takes the position that
one great cause Of the depression Of trade
in the United States, and the consequent
depreciation Of all property values, COM
mercial failures and unemployment OF
laborers, is the infamous secret CONNER
cial agencies, which, he says, "are dis
grace to free country" We copy the
loIlowing, sent us by Mr.. Schulein;
THE VEIL IS LIFTED.
Our,country has been suffering for sew
eTal years by financial depression. Dur
|ihg all this time wise men have been try
ing to solve the problem and explain, II
possible, the cause Of 80 many business
failures, the reason 30 many men are idle,
and the road to prosperity, but have not
succeeded, and it remained for one OF
our own business men, of quiet, thought
ful habits, to solve the problem, and, like
all great discoveries, it is 30 simple that
every person wonders now that it was
not seen, and the evil effects remedied
long ago. He argues that it cannot be
for a lacG of money, which is certainly
true, when thieves can blow open the
safe of any bank in the country, and find
enough money to keep them busy carry
ing it away by morning. The farmers
are not to blame, for they would be very
foolish to raise more pork than they can
sell at remunerative prices, rgrow more
corn than would pay fifteen per cent on
the investment. The mechanic cannot
be held responsible, for he would be
foolish to make hammer with which
to beat out his own brains. 1t then must
rest with the business men, as the pro.
fessional man in this functionary is con.
sidered as leech only in the body poll.
tic, who is allowed to live because he
cannot die, and is not worth the atten-
ton of great philosopher.
Az merchants are not likely to do any.
thing Willingly that would. bring them
to ruin, although they may do SO, in fact,
very often do, by not advertising, except
to keep a man ia front of the door to an
noy the people, by pulling at their coats
as they pass, in order to call their atten.
ton to the fact that few boxes of col.
lars may be found within; but they can.
not be the source of all the shrinkage in
value, unless we attribute it to that
branch named in the following card,
which we copy from the Pioneer, and
would recommend to the careful consid-
Grafton of our readers for its intrinsic
value.

REPUBLICAN papers claim that the
Duke of Argyll, when about departing
from New York for home, expressed
himself in favor of replacing General
Grant in the White House for the bal
ance of his life
No doubt monarchist, and sprig of
tbe British nobility like the Duke, ia.
vors similar state of things in this
country. He knows that Grant Is the
representative of centralized despot-
ism here-a government based, like the
British government, on corruption and
favoritism. He also knows that the 30.
called Republican party here, is the po-
litical organization whose leaders favor
force rule. These leaders want a large
standing army to maintain themselves
IN power, with an organized money pow
er to assist. In the British system the
aristocrscy are "protected"-the peoples
rights neglected and disregarded-a
moneyed power kept up by government
aid. The Republican leaders insist we
are "nation," that the States are mere
provinces, that local, or home rule by
the people, for the people, must be set
aside, and all that.
In fact, the Republican leaders are low
ers and admirers of the British system
of diabolical rule.
