WALL Street To.day.

NEW YORK, Dec. 12-The Posts financial ar
ticle SayS:-The stock exchange markets con-
tinue dull United States bonds are strong for the
SIS and 6's of 1850 s1 and rather weak for the As
because OF a report that the Secretary Of the
Treasury, without waiting for further authority
from Congress, has resolved to sell the balance of
the As and invest the proceeds in the SIS and 6S.
What truth there is In the report is not known.
Railroad investments continue strong. All first
class bonds are in demand, and such stocks as
Rock Island Q4910 New York Central which Is
upto 1887, and Burlington and Quincy, which
is 123k, are also in demand. Speculative rail-
read bonds are also higher. The market for
speculative shares opened, as a rule, at an ad.
vance, and in the first hour further advanced 4
a3 per cent. There was then decline of 1sa1
per cent, which was followed by an advance of
1aasa, and this by decline of 16aH. The largest
advance was in st. Pauls Sioux City preferred,
which was brought up to 76 on the expec-
per cent. will be begun in January.
by mortgage of only $4,000 per mile, or an an
nual charge of 5000 per mtle and the earrings are
said to be good for 81 400 per mile. The next
largest rise was / % in Jersey Central. Kansas a.
Texas advanced "a. The stocks conspicuously
strong, have been the coal shares. C. C. & l. C.
& Erie. The st. Louis and San Francisco shares
have been exceptionally weak, no reason being
assigned therefor. Mining stocks have been
quiet to-day. In the money market per cent.
is the ruling rate for call loans at the Stock
Exchange, the exceptional rates being 5a7 per
cent. Rates for the same class of loans are 1a2
per cent. lower on C. S. bond collateral Time
loans and prime mercantile paper are sac per
cent.

Mr.. TILDEN OUT OF THE RACE.-A special dis
patch from New York to the Philadelphia Times
says that short time before the late election in
New York Hon. L. B. Faulkner and other prOmi-
nent democrats called on Mr.. Tilden TO consult
his wishes with regard to the nominations. After
saying he wanted Gen. Robinson renOminated
he made the startling declaration that he didn't
care to be candidate again. He was getting
to be an aged man. The constant worry and nc
patton in politics was wearing upon him.
He had lawsuits and private business on
hand that required more than his entire atten-
tion. He had fortune, and his inclination was
to live the rest of his life in the ease of his home
He had once been elected President OF the
United States, and the majority OF the people
knew it-were coming more and more to know
it every year-and the time would come when
every one not blinded would say that he had
been cheated out OF what rghtfully belonged
to him. and he added 1t is question whether
will not live better in history rs an elected
President who was cheated than f:y running
again and serving for four years; for any man
in ofIiee is bound to make political enemies"

JAY GOULD, AND so FoRTH.-We are at . loss
whether to call it ridiculous or disgusting, the
way the rival Missouri River towns are going on
about Jay Gould, both through their newspa-
pers and by means of associated press despatch
es. Each and every one of these towns is keep
ing up din about what Jay Gould is going to
do for them-he is going to centre all his rail-
roads there, and eternally ruin all the other
towns. They have all let 20 their grip, and are
looking to Jay Gould to boost them along.
Some or all of them are lying outrageously, or
Jay Gould is. To an outsider, it looks as if
Jay Gould is going a big eye on st. Joe. As he
owns the st. Joe bridge, and controls the Hani-
bal road, the direct eastern route from this part
of the country, why would lie run out of his
way to Atchison, and cross a bridge that he
doesn't own, in order to go further to reach the
Hannibal roadf Why does he send a man to look
over the "bob-tail" road, if he doesn't want to
get shorter cut from the Central Branch and
Missouri Pacific to the St. Joe bridget Is he
building the branch from Marysville to point
on the Central Branch in order to take business
away from his own road and his own bridge, or
to bring business from the west end of the Cen
trail Branch to the st. Joe bridge, there to meet
his eastern connecticut At any rate, do not let
60 all holds, and put yourselves at the mercy of
Jay Gould. If nothing else, grab root.

Grant President.-Learencorth Press.
Why do you willfuily msrepresent usi The
very article you refer to, declares emphatically
that if Grant is nominated, we shall heartily
support him. But in this free country, a man
has right to first choice, even if it doesn't
chime with the furore of the hour. If, with all
the honor Grant has already received, he has
not yet got what the nation owes him, We are
afraid the nation will never be able to pay. If,
out of the host of able men, soldiers and civil
iani, who have brought the country through
the last twenty momeutous years, Grant is the
only one deserving high honors, then the coun-
try is badly off indeed. And if Grant is the on
ly man whom the Republicans can elect Presi-
dent, it is humiliating confession, and the
party had better make an assignment ar once.
If these opinions constitute us q member of the
Hen Party, there is a big Hen on. -------

II The associated press dispatches say that
Hayes, in his Message, will take decided ground
in favor OF limiting the coinage of silver, lest it
should drive all the gold out of the country, and
of retiring the remainder of the greenbacks.
Since resumption has succeeded so well, hadn't
Hayes better let we'll enough alonei Nobody
is complaining of being overburdened with sill
yer or greenbaeks, and as they are on par with
gold, there is no cause for further interference.
Gold is not being driven out of the country to
any alarming extent by silver, and will not be
driven out, until the conditions of trade now
bringing it in are reversed. Fortunately, in
this instance, the present Congress is not dis,
playing remarkable alacrity in carrying out
Hayes recommendations.

The SCHOOL TAx.-The Leavenworth Times
speaking of the State school tax muddle, say.
the effect will be, that the school districts
throughout the State will be deprived of q large
proportion of their fund, and will have to Gu,
their terms short. If we have had an erroneous
idea of this business, will some one enlighteu
us' We had supposed that this annual school
tax did not come back directly to the school dis
tricts, but supplied fund to invest in certain
securities and that the interest on these invest
meuts was the fund that was apportioned among
the schools. Ifso there will be the same amount
of fund to distribute this year as last, but the
regular increase will be cut off for the next two
years. But whether this tax comes back direct
or through interest on investments, it cannot
affect the schools this winter, for the fund fol
them is already on hand. Next year will be the
time it will he felt at the worst.

The FRATERSfTY.-We have been too bn-y,
for the past few months, to pass the ordinary
compliments with our brethren of the press, and
numerous newspaper improvements have gone
without notice.
The Winfield Courier was enlarged, some time
ago, and new power press added TO the Office.
II is large and handsome sheet.
The Sumner County Press was also enlarged,
and is printed on power press. And to add to
his honors, Capt. Folks has just been elected
Coroner Of Sumner County.
The Kirwan Chief is considerably enlarged,
and sports power press.
The Marysville Ners has provided itself with
power press.
The Sslina Joavnal is much enlarged, and has
put on q handsome new dress.
John Coulter, late of Leav en ortb has taken
charge of the Beloit Gasette, and is making it q
lively, spicy paper.
The Wyandotte Gazette has fine new dress
and has passed into the hands of Armstrong &
Meyer. 1t again comcslto us in ex change. For
some reason, the Taylor family SCARED on us,
and for the last seven eight years nj utterly
refused to comfort US by exchanging.
John II. Rice, of the Paola Repablicaa, has
new power press, and is happy. He doesn't kill
worth cent.
johnny Gilmore, of the Fretlonia Citizen, is
building him a tine house, and is goin:. to get
something with calico around it, to put into it.
The Hiawatha Dispatch has finally got on its
whole suit of new clothes.
The Hiawatha Herald was enlarged, few
weeks ago, column to the page.
From all appearances, the Kansas press is
fourishing. There is but one serious eye sore
the extensive use Of patent outsides yet pre-
walls. If this were done away with, the Kan
sas newspapers would lead the country press of
the nation.

II The Maine conspiracy seems to have al
most died out. Whatever may come of it, it
shows that the Democratic party, whenever it
has an opportunity, will not hesitate to per-
petuate its power by fraud, regardless of all
sentiments of gratitude or magnauimity. The
Democrats of Maine got control of the State of,
fees by favor of the Republicans, who chose
