Tue Secretary Of the Chicago Board of
Trade has just issued the twenty-second an
nual report Of that body. The figures pre-
sented are very instructive, and show a de-
cided Increase in the trade of the city, 1885,
154,5n bushels Of grain and -four having
been received here in 1879, against 134, ,086, ,595
for the previous year. The receipts of seeds
were 100 per cent Of the quantity received in
1878, while the increase in the receipt of live
stock has been unprecedented. The! conse-
quences to the city have been very consider
able. More employment has been given.
more money has changed hands, and the
farmers, on account of the increase in their
products, have been enabled to invest more
largely. The amountof lumber shipped from
mere to the farming districts has materially
increased There has been an increase of 80
to 80 per cent in the sales Of general mer-
chand1se. In some articles, as In the
case OF iron, the increase has been much
greater. The value of the farm products
sMpped from Chicago during the last year is
estimated at s252, 152, GOO, of which s51 ,s00,-
0oo IS reckoned as being the sum obtained
for live stock, s7s, ,452, 900 for flour and gram,
and S73,5oo,o00 for meat, lard, and dressed
hogs. The estimated value of farm prod
ucfs for 1873 was $o07, ,400, 900, thus showing
an Increase Of ss44a, 81 ,752 600. These figures are
emlnently satisfactory, and go to show that
Chicago has not Jagged in the path Of pros
perlty and progress.

THE merchants and business men OF San
Francisco propose to take measures in time
for the protection of their city against the
threatened uprising of hoodlum blatherskites
on the Chinese question. These solid and
respectable citizens have no fondness Tor
Chinatown, and would not go far out OF
their way to prevent the expulsion Of the
Chinese from the State, as is contemplated
under the new Constitution; but they evi-
IDENTIFY intend that whatever is done IN
this direction shall be done decently
and in accordance with law, and to
that end they have formed n secret
organization, similar to the Vigilantes OF
1856, the purpose of which is to preserve
order and keep the peace in the city. The
effect Of this step will be to hold in check
the murderous rabble that follows Kearney's
lead, and to prevent the occurrence Of scenes
of bloodshed and outrage such as would for
ever disgrace the name Of San Francisco.

The moral effect Of the agitation which
has been going Oh concerning the ex-
orbitant tax levied by the railroads upon the
surplus grain and provision products Of the
West is shown in the action yesterday Of the
meeting in this city Of railroad managers,
representing nearly every important line in
the Eastern, Middle, and Western States.
The question Of a general reduction Of rates
was referred to 4; committee composed Of
prominent officials Of roads connected
with the great federation" formed
for the purpose Of maintaining high
rates, with instructions that the situa-
ton be considered with regard alike to
the interests Of the railroads and Of the pro-
ducers and shippers. This Committee wisely
concluded that it was time to make a:.sllow Of
respect to public opinion, and reported re-
duction Of cents per 100pounds On grain and
flour, making the new rate IS cents from Chi
cago to New York, to take effect March 1,
with corresponding reduction in other ar
ticles to go into operation March S. This
report was adopted and in addition the
meeting voted a practical reduction Of S
cents per 100 pounds on live hogs, the rates
to all New England points to be the same as
those to New York, and all rebates on hog
shipments, whether for domestic or foreign
consumption, to be abolished.

FOE some time past many people living in
the vicinity of Ottawa have suffered severely
from incendiarism: Dwelling-houses, barns,
sheds, lnmber-piles, etc., have been set
on fire. and the incendiarics were
not discovered. One Of the victims,
O AIr. Ellard, employed q detective
to solve the mystery, Which was speedily
done, and the incendiary discovered in the
person Of a priest named Faure, who GER
tainly does not enjoy that reputation for
sanctity and purity Of heart which
should belong to man of his cloth.
It appears that Faure had five ac-
complies, one Of whom has turned
informer on being promised immunity.
The reverend gentleman and his fellow
incendiaries have been arrested and placed
in Jail to await their trial. Faure is said to
have been concerned in case Of grave
robbing and in case Of abortion, and Oh the
whole is very unsayory sort of person.

WHEA the Reddleberger Debt bill came up
for action in the Virginia House Of Delegates
yesterday, Mr.. Hamilton introduced sub
stitute providing that the principal Of the
State debt be recognized at the sum fixed in
the AlcCulloch bill, sS2,ooo, GOO; that the in
terest thereon at the rate Of 8 per cent per
annum be paid, and that the new bonds issued
In accordance with the substitute be exempt
from taxation, except for school purposes.
The substitute also provides that should the
Council Of foreign bondholders and the
Funding Association Of the United States
accept the terms Of the act before
June l, 1850, they shall be authorized
to do the funding, or. in case Of
their failure to do so. the Governor of the
State may make contracts for the same pur-
pose with other responsible parties. The bill
and substitute were ordered printed. The
introduction of the latter created quite T.
sensation, and is supposed to be the result
of an understanding between prominent Vir-
ginia Republicans and the bondho1ders. #
this turns out to be true it is well, for good
Republicans have little in common with par
ties who repudiate their just debts. Indeed,
it was reproach upon the party that the

TIE Citizens Association Committee on
Main Drainage held another meeting yester
day afternoon. The questions Of sewage and
pure water-supp1y were discussed ut consid-
cradle length by DR.. Raucl, Judge Farwell,
and Gen. ". S. Smith. The general impress
sion was that the sewerage Of the city was very
defective, and that most of the animal and
other deleterious matter Of the sewers was
carried into the lake, from whence it was
conveyed back again as component part Of
the drink1ng-water. The remedies suggested
were additional pumping-works, removal Of
the crib to that portion of the lake opposit
Evanston or Highland Park, and oxidation.
The only difficulty in the way Of the adoption
Of those plans is the great expense.

THE INDIANA DELEGATION,

On the same day that q partial victory was
secured by the third-term movement in the
New York Convention it met an overwhelm-
ing defeat in Indiana. The District Con-
ventions in the latter State were unanimous
1y opposed to a third term, and not single
delegate was chosen who Was in favor Of
risklng the chances Of defeat on tlird-term
issue. The great majority Of the delegates
are professedly for Blaine, who will probably
receive the solid vote Of the Indiana delega-
tion at Chicago, but the general sentiment
of the State indicated united opposition to
the third term rather than a stubborn ad-
herence to any one candidate. For the time
this sentiment found the readiest and most
effective expression in uniting upon Blaine.
The situation in Indiana seems to have been
fairly and inte!ligently summed up in the
following paragraph from the Indianapolis
Journal, the leading paper Of that State:
The Congressional District Conventions which
entirely harmonious, and the best Of feellng
prevailed throughout in the Seventh INDIAN

ever, was opposed to instructions and opposed to
tho passage Of any resolution that wo9id m oe d ~
pleasant to confront in case any one OF the lead
ing candidates now before the country y.shonld ne
nominated Mt Chicago. The sentiment OF the
these Conventions was very decidedly. for Blaine,
with a strong sentiment for F. 3; Washbufne

ALTHOUGH the Democrats ara in q major
ity in the United States Senate, it appears
that they cannot always procure quorum
in that body. In fact it would seem that
many Of the Democratic Senators care only
for the honors and emoluments Of the Office,
and think little about the duties connected
herewith. One Of the expedients proposed
for procuring = quorum is decidedly
Bourbon,-vlz.: to allow members who are
paired to vote under certain circumstances.
Another question under consideration Is the
desirability Of renewing the twenty-frst
joint rule, which regulates the manner Of
counting the Electoral votes, and which be-
came void in 1876 By the failure Of the House
to adopt it. as had been the custom.

SOME of the Democratic statesmen and
capitalists who went down to Washington to
capture another Convention for Chicago have
found their way back home in 4 mourn
full and melancholy frame of mind. The
trouble seems to have been, as they look at
1t, that Chicago arrived on the ground too
late, and found that Cincinnati had been put
ting in some effective work which could not
be overcome Then, too, Tilden went back
on Chicago, and, rather than be the means Of
stirring up any new strife in the ranks Of the
Democracy, our local statesmen and capital
lists gaye up the fight and went their ways.
