was in good request, both for the British
and continental markets, and fair pur
chases were made. Bacon was in better de-
mard, and moderate number of orders
were provided for. including hams
sides and shoulders. 1t was
also understood that manufacturers
were forwarding increased quantities of
products to their agencies in the principal
foreign markets. Advices from foreign
markets indicated an easier feeling in that
quarter, and quotations were reduced Cd
on pork, Is Sd on lard, and 4@5s on ba-
con. Freights to European markets have
been slightly advanced.
The domestic demand for hog products
was fairly active within the past week, and
sales were somewhat larger. Orders were
quite freely received, and as manufacturers
were more willing to meet the prices of
buyers, the latter experienced very little
difficulty in providing for them.
The demand from the South
was active, orders from the
large distributing and interior consum-
ing markets being quite free, and
liberal Qualities of mess pork, sides and
green meats were forwarded in that
direction. Trading with the Western min
ing and agricultural districts and also with

HEAVY FAILURE.
CHICAGO, Dec. 2.-Board of trade circles
were excited to-day by report, which
proved we'll founded, of the failure of
Creigh Davis, an old firm which has been
dealing heavily of late: Year corn is the
rock on which they split, the prices of that
option having declined heavily in spite of
large purchases by that firm and Others
The drop of to-day proved too much for
them. Liabilities are said to be heavy,
but the full facts are not known.
It is reported that the firm was backed
by capitalist until to-day, and being long
on three million bushels of year corn upon
which they had wasted $15O,OOO, in mar
gins, and being called from all sides this
morning, they at once suspended. They
have very small assets to pay very con-
Siderable debts. Many persons suffer, but
only for small amounts. There were no
other failures, though reports had it that
at least one other firm suspended.

ANOTHER SENSATION.

More Secret History About the Star Route
Prosecutions What Merrick and Ke1
Have to Say About Dorsey's Card.
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 2.-An editorial letter il
the Post-Dispatch from Washington writ
ten by Joseph Pulitzer, referring to sta1
route matters and especially to Stephe1
w. Dorsey, gives some secret history Of
the case obtained, the writer says, from 8
perfectly authoritative though confidential
source. When it was first known thai
MacVeagh really meant to have Dorsey
indicted and prosecuted, Dorsey came
from his sheep ranch in New Mex
leo and went to the White House
Garfield told Dorsey not to give
himself any uneasiness about the out
come, but return to his ranch and feel SURE
he (Garfeld) would be his friend. But il
spite of all this MacVeagh proceeded with
his case, retained detectives and special
counsel, collected testimony and drew
upon promise of immunity from smalle,
members of the ring confession of guilt
which was sure to convict Dorsey. Alarmed
by the report of MacVeagh's doinys, Dor
sey returned in the spring of 1881 to the
East. While in New York, MacVeaph &C.
tually procured warrant for Dorsey's ar.
rest. The warrant was about
to be issued, but Dorsey had
his secret agents everywhere. He heard Of
this move by telegraph. He saw his peril.
There was only one man who could save
him. He took the next train to Washing
ton and arrived there late at night and
went from the depot to the White house
and appealed to Garfield to keep his
promise and save him. Garfield sent TO,
MacVeagh. What there ensued may be
inferred from the fact that the warrant for
Dorsey's arrest was never served, but with
drawn. This incident is historical, and
known to be true by Blaine. It has never
been published, but it is true and Mac.
Veagh will not, dare not deny it.
WASHINGTON, Dec, 2.-The Star publishes
the following conversation with Merrick
and Ker on star route matters: @We are
going to have trial." said Merrick, lay
ing particular emphasis on the last word
When asked what was to be done next
Monday, Merrick said: "If Dorsey had
published his statement originally, the
country might have believed It, but the
country will bear in mind that Dorsey had
had trial. That he did not 60 on the
stand and swear to it, shows that the state
ment is not true. It is too thin; too alb
surd."
''There is another point" said Ker, who
was standing near; shat if that statement
is true, Dorsey committed perjury before
the investigation COMMITTEES" Ker, speak.
ing OF Dorsey's card, said that Dorsey had
made very valuable contribution to the
material of the government. In case he
should go on the stand, the statement, he
intimated, would furnish convenient full
crum for working tho lever for the cross
examination.

A Dastardly Outrage.

Mr.. j. G. Donnelly has good cause to
feel offended. A few nights ago he was
awakened out of his sleep by the breaking
OF glass. He did not know at the time
that the glass was in his house, but in the
morning he found that it was the glass
over the front door in his dwelling house.
The act was dastardly, cowardly and re-
vengeful one, and the person who did the
deed deserves severe punishment. Mr..
Donnelly has suspicion of who did it,
and if he can get the necessary proof he
will make it hot for him. 1t is verv
strange way for a man to seek revenge.
yet it is apparent that it was done for re-
venge, and nothing else.

MAssAcHUsErEs GAMBLING.

A curious custom prevails along the
sea coast of Massachusetts, in regard to
selling pools on fishermen-to see which
one of them will catch the first fish
while out on an excursion. In q number
of the seaport towns regular exchanges
are established, where this pool selling
goes on, and each man in every fishing
excursion that goes out is bought up by
the adventurous gamblers in the same
manner that horses entered for race
are bought. These pools often 'un up
a. high as $500 or $500 each, according
to the number of fishermen, and the
6rst man that catches fish is declared
the winner, and his hacker takes the
pot !; the man who gets second place,
however. takes some share.

THE EASY-G0LNG SUPREME COURz.
The opinions of the United States
Supreme Court are much too long.
They go into a history of every case,
and often q person has to read half
hour or so before the point in the deci-
sion is reached. But all this plays into
the hands of the Clerk. He gets
wealthy in consequence of it. Imagine
the readers of paper in these days Of
telegraph waiting three or four weeks
for a decisionl The Judges are too
slow. They don'tintendto be slow, but
they are, without knowing it. It is sell
dom that a decision can be had in less
than a month after q case has been
argued. In similar courts in England
decision is given in five minutes after
case is argued. This is as it should
be. The Judges, in holding off their de-
cisions, without knowing it, are enriching
a certain number Of resident attorneys
at the expense of other attorneys who
do not happen to reside there; for, know
ing the delay, the expense Of waiting,
etc., the nonresident lawyers frequently
are required to secure the assistance of
resident attorneys to argue and look
after their cases.
The worst of this is that the Supreme
Courts of the different States initiate the
Washington example, and the mania for
long opinions has become one of the alb
surd vanities of the law. Oh! for
Judges who can say what they have to
say compactly, tersely, and who will
shun verbiage as one of the deadly sins.

RETAINED EDITORS.

The retaining of q leader-writer on q
great London journal, such as the Times,
the Telegraph or the Ne,os, is pecul-
lar feature in English journalism. II
writer shows marked evidence Of merit
or if he has the ability to write exhaus-
lively and in graphic manner on some
special class of subject, he is retained,
as it is termed; that is, he is paid a
stipulated amount each year. With the
papers referred to, this is commonly
s1 600 ($5, ,000). In receiving aretainer
he binds himself not to write for any
other publication on the topics for the
treatment Of which his employer has en-
gagged him. In his leisure hours he can
write on other subjects as much as he
pleases, but the implied understanding
is that he must keep himself thoroughly
informed on every phase Of the particu-
lar question the Times or Nes0s wishes
him to write upon, and must be in read
mess whenever called upon to furnish
an editorial leader. It may happen that
weeks and months will pass by and no
call will be made for his service and at
another time his pen will every day be
in demand. His retainer is not to pay
him for what he writes, but simply to
reward him for keeping himself thor.
oughly informed, and to secure, when
needed, the command of his services.
For the actual writing he does for the
paper to which he is attached he receives
additional pay. The London Times
pays for its first or leading editorial
article $50, and $25 each for the follow
ing articles. In the Times Office it is
sometimes the case, on an important
subject, that two and even three leader
writer's are asked to cover the same
ground, and it has frequently happened
that the article, when it appears, is
formed out Of the contributions of all
three, skilifully dovetailed together by
the revising editor, who has selected the
best and most striking portions Of each
article submitted to him. When this is
done each writer is paid precisely as
though his leader had been printed in
its entirety. Hence the cost Of some of
the Times leading editorials is $3.50. In
the other large newspapers the writer Of
the leading article commonly receives
$26, and the writer Of following ones $15
each. These rates. it may be added, are
in excess independent Of the retainer
of what il paid for editorial work by our
American journals.
