THE sHELL-LEss SHELL ROAD.

A drive down to the New Lake nowadays
reveals most reprehensible condition OF the
shell road, or rather the road which once WAS
shelled, but which is now In pitiful state OF
restitution. 30 far as shells are concerned.
Really 1t Is about time that the man
ager OF the New Canal and Shell Road should
be made to suspend his toll charges, which
are little less than robbery In view Of the fact
that the road Is actually In worse condition
than the common dirt road on st. Charles
street above TlvolI circle. The Idea OF charg-
ing person In q carriage twenty-five cents
for the right OF driving over road which Is
worse than dirt road and upon which no
WORK has apparently been done for months
and months Is simply monstrous, and there
ought to be- some way to correct this glaf1ng
fraud upon the public. Those Of our
recent guests who are accustomed to
the superb, new and free drives In Chicago
st. Louis and New York, must have been
forcibly struck by the absurdlty Of this
charge for driving over q road which is
neglected, and which In sorae por-
TONS Is almost as bad as q road In country
village. The evils complained Of for 30 many
years, both as regards the canal and the
shell road, are increasing every day, and
causing greater and greater annoyance to
the public who are being daily and hourly
injured by the mismaDagernent Of this
and most important property OF the

A GENERAL EXCHANGE.

Apropos of the movement now on foot to
erect building for the Cotton Exchange On
some site other than the present end upon
a scale commensurate with the importance
Of the institution. we hear 1t proposed that
the enterprise shall be so enlarged as to pro-
vide for combination and concentration OF
the Western produce and bulk grain trades
with the cotton business under one roof and
In one general organization.
II location could be obtained tolerably
convenient to Poydras and Magazine street,
though not, Of course, going east Of Caron-
delet street to find 1t. the result would be OF
incalculable benefit to the trade Of the city.
New Orleans needs an institution Of this sort.
Her grain exporting trade is steadily increas-
ing and needs but the influence Of organized
effort snd promotion to spring rapidly into

SHORT WEIGHTS In GRAIN.

Ag New Orleans Is now looming up AZ q
grain exporting point. and as there are cheer
Ing Indications that the prophecy OF that long,
headed Hnancier and business man. Jay
Gould. that New Orleans will Ia three years
time export more grain than New York and
Baltimore together. will be more than fulfilled,
the time Is propitious to call the attention Of
our st. Louis friends to the fact that grain
brought there In bulk has an unpleasant way
Of falling short In weight when delivered ut
this point We are aware that there is q ma
tural shrlnkage In grain amounting to about
one-quarter OF per cent but when, as was
the case here the other day, In a cargo Of
10000 bushels there i, Il shortage Of four hun
dred and tWenty-sir bpshels, the matter be-
comes serious enough for investigation.
Such shrinkage, with wheat at 81 40 per
bushel. involved an actual loss to the
buyer here OF five hundred and eighty
six dollars and forty cents, and yet
under the present methods Of delivery Of
grain at st. Louis there is no reclamation,
AZ the bill OF lading is only signed for aRiven
number Of bushels more or less It would
not BIZ 90 Objectionable II there occasionally
happened to be more than the specified num-
Der, but the ne vdrietnr system OF less Is grow
Ing to be exceedingly monotonous, and calls
for change which will give relief to buyers
ia this market. 1t IL well to correct these lit
tie things before they crystalize Into regular
customs and rise to the dignity OF precedents.
It ought to be very simple matter to ar
range, and In view Of the vast trapsactions
which will be made In grain IN the near fu-
ture, 1t would be we'll to adjust all differences
at the start. We therefore call the attention
OF the sellers In st. Louis and the elevator
men at that point to the unmistakable fact
that all grain received here by river falls
short to much greater extent than can be
accounted for by natural shrinkage.

The aggressive fight that the Blaine men
have been making In Ohio for the past three
weeks has considerably demoralized the adher-
ents Of Sherman. They complain that Blaines
friends are acting improperly In entering
1herman's territory, inasmuch as the latter
has shown no disposition to contest Maine.
The Blaine men reply that the fight Is not
bounded by State lines, and they intend to
capture delegates wherever they can. With
this defiance they 90 on holding meetings,
organizing clubs and In other ways working
M u strong Blaine sentiment. When the del
eoates are selected the present outlook Is that
che Plumed Knight will have what our YAM
kee friends call smart sprinkling. Sherman
VIII doubtless have majority OF the delega-
lion, but 1t will be so evenly divided as to be
almost yaiueless to him. The influence OF
the State in the convention is likely to be
small, In consequence Of the division q It's
d0le0NtiOn.

4 curious outburst OF Socialism Is reported
from Ottawa, Canada. A number Of incen-
diary fires have prevailed in that town for
some time past, destroying large amount Of
property there. The police watched for the
incendlaries, but for long time watched In
vain. Finally, one day last week, one q the
perpetrators Of the outrage was captured.
He became frightened when locked up, and
gave away the gang OF which lie was mem
Der. 1t seems that these men were Socialists,
who had bound themselves together to de-
stroy the property OF their richer netghbors,
entirely from Soctalisdc Views. They be-
Aeved that wealth was demoratizing and un-
equal. and that no man should enjoy more
wealth or prosperity than anybody else. In
stead OF proposing to right this wrong, as
most other Socialists do, BY dividing the
property Of the wealthy among the needy,
they went to work to restore the equality BY
destroying the property Of those who pos
aessed any. An investigation Of the incen-
diaries failed to show them as mad as most
people would believe.
