a POINT WELL TAKEN.

The Virginia Chronicle edl-
torially remarks that the days OF
the stump speaker are numbered
because the press is taking the
place Of the stump speakers. This
is true, and politicians are beginning
TO realize it. Il had been the GUS
tom in Nevada for q long time for
the Central Committees to throw
away large sums of money on
stump speakers. paying them IN
advance, while the press took the
crumbs which fell from the table at
the end of the campaign, and had
their bills cut down fifty cents on
the dollar. The stump speakers
valued their services very high,
each must have several thousands
of dollars and all expenses paid or
they would not take the field. They
ALWAYS had friends on the State
Central Committees who ''stood
in" and thus the stump speakers
pounced down on the campaign
sack and ripped it open. Some OF
these speakers have been hired and
paid large prices for services poorly
rendered in order to keep them

swered all questions with as much

approaching a smile, and it never betrays
any feeling either pleasant or painful.
The moment the train stopped Lafayette,
Melting was hurried out of the baggage car,
and into hack, which had been ordered in
advance. In the excitement of the moment,
the door of the vehicle was slammed shut
with such force that the glass was broken

SPECULATION In MARGINS.
The Chicago Grain Markets Unsettled,
with Lower Prices
A DiscOuraging Outlook for Higher Prices
for Wheat-C0rn Lifeless-NO Special
Change in Provisions.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

CHICAGO, Oct. I7.-There was an unsettled
feeling in the leading markets on Change
to-day, with lower prices for the cereals.
Wheat opened firmer, but under increased
speculative offerings, rapidly declined, then
rallied, and closed 5sc lower than yesterday
on the regular board. On cali, the offerings
continued free, and the market was active at
further loss of &c, with sales of 1900, 900
bushels, chiefly for December and May. The
panicky feeling in the New York stock mar
ket was the principal factor of weakness,
and the bears took advantage of it to
pound the market at the opening.
McGeoch came to the front as large buyer.
Milmine bought 100000 bushels and
Lindblom purchased heavily. They
dumped the entire lot on call, and Reams
sold May freely. Private cable advices also
indicated a stock panic in Paris to-day. The
outlook is discouraging.
Corn was dull and lifeless, with trifing
decline of quarter cent on 'Change. The
influence of smaller receipts and rainy
weather in the West held the market steady.
On call, there were sales of 800, 900 bushels,
mostly for May. Hutchinson continued his
buying of all the May corn he could get.
The feeling is firm on futures.
Speculation in the deferred deliveries of
pork was active. A decline was expected, but
under the free buying of Cudahy the market
was turned upward, but subsequently sagged,
and closed about the same as yesterday On
call, the feeling was stronger, with sales of
$3.50 barrels, mostly for January, Rosen-
baum sold out big line of long lard, but
Hutchinson held prices up. On call the tone
was easier, with small sales Of January. The
supply of hogs is liberal. Cash pork COM

Spiders at the White House.

w Washington Letter.
The spiders had become so bad under the
caves of the White House that it became
necessary to bring out fire engine to wash
them down. The deluge of water caused a
veritable shower of spiders to the stone floor
below, and very soon at least a million of
them were crawling about in every direction
and hue known to the species. About 3
o'clock the thoroughly chilled insects began
crawling up the large pillars toward the roof
in such numbers that the pillars looked as
though they had been painted black. The

christened the presidential spider" because
it has inhabited the old portico ever since it's

General Vt OIIneuN.
If no acts of violence or bloodshed have
been committed nor any extensive disturb
ances taken place, and the problem is simply
the dispersion of a disorderly and turbulent
gathering the slow advance of troops in rear,
or in support, of the police is advised, thus
giving opportunity to the idle and curious,
the women and children, to disentangle
themselves from the crowd. The playing of
a stream of water upon the assemblage by
means of fire engine will not nfrequently
be found a thoroughly effective means of
securing its dispersal. Getting wet is dis
pirung; the bubble reputation is not to be
sought at the nozzle of a hosepipe; the
soaked rioter is an object of ridicule rather
than admiration, and is more apt to be
laughed at by his whilom associates than re-
garded as hero and followed to the death.
