q. 8. Merrill, general manager Of the
Chicago, Milwaukee 4 st. Paul railroad,
s.vs there IL not word OF truth in the
report that his company was about to in.
augurate war on the Iowa pool lines on
Omaha business. The line was built to
earn money, and this could not be done
by inaugurating war or cutting rates.
He felt quite sure that at established
rates and without recourse to any trick
erv, his road being the short line and
equal in every respect to any Of the older
lines, would be able to get fair share of
the Omaha business. He could not say
what bis company would do if asked to
Join the pool, but whether it Joined it or
not. it would certainly maintain regular
~ established rates. There was no traf-
flo agreement with the Union Pacific. No
such arrangement had ever been thought
Of. All they asked Of the Union Pacific
was TO be treated precisely the same as
other lines connecting with it at Council
Bluffs.

Tue Mark Lane Express, in its review
of the grain trade the past week, says:
The weather has been autumnal. The
rainfall was general Tuesday, but was
not sufficient to damage crops materially.
Outstanding crops, however, are en-
dangered. English wheat at provincial
markets declined one to three shillings.
At London for the finest samples slight
concessions we're made. Millers were
not eager buyers. The new crop of for.
eiEn wheat remains at deadlock. The
off-coast supply remains liberal. Many
cargoes have been ordered to ports of
discharge. There were twenty-five arri.
walls. Ten cargoes were sold and fifteen
withdrawn. The stock hos increased
125.5oO quarters. compared with the cor.
responding period of 1881. The sales Of
English wheat the past week we're l7,204
quarters, at At sh,llings 10 pence against
1851 quarters at 81 shillings for the cor.
responding period last year.

Tho Chicago Inter Ocean publishes a
record of outrages committed on women
and children within the past eight
months. showing the alarming frequency
Of this class of crime. Statistics show
that those who perpetrate such outrages
are seldom adequately punished. The
paper takes radical grounds on the sub.
ject and declares the time has come when
the people must take the law into theil
own hands and advocates the immediate
lynching of every brute found guilty Of
aseaulting women or children, believing
such retribution in some cases will put
stop to the increase of suoh crimes.

The largest and handsomest municipal
building in the world, it is said, is the
new CITY Hall Of Paris. It's accommo-
dations are almost equal to those Of the
Capitol at Washington, and it is probably
superior to the new Capital at Albany,
as a place for the transaction Of public
business. But its cost will be but
So GOO. 600, although the Albany struct-
ure will cost more than three times as
much. The s., 000, 600 includes the bet
ter part OF 81, 900. 600 expended to secure
works of art by $50 artists to adorn the
Paris municipal building, and nearly as
much more for the preparation of the
site of the structure. The French are
known as economical people, although
war has rolled up for them the largest
national debt in the world, and they
show their thrift in public as well as pri-
vate fnanciering. The people Of the
United States greatly need to learn
economy of them in both matters. The
French abhor debt, as individuals, and
they expend their money prUdently, botf
from private and public purses, EXtray'
agance is a great curse in this country.
