A Day of Unusual Excitement among
Spectators in Corn.
j 4avy Transact ms, Accompanied by Rapid
Fluctuations-Sixly Cents Now the Fig
ure for the December Option.



CHICAGO, Dec 4-The corn pit was a verita-
BILE pandemonium to-day, and the deal in
year or December corn was a cause for great
excitement on the part of the shorts" This
set the whole market in ali uproar, and for
time trading was impossible owing to the
noise and the r1pd fluctuations. December
was advanced 31sc, January &c and May 1c
above the highest prices paid on Change yes
terday. The fears of the shorts were in
creased ny the parading of gloomy reports
of the condition of corn in various sections.
The stock OF No. 2 in Chicago has increased
since last week only $50, 600 bushels and this
had no influence when blocks of 100000 and
a quarter of a million bushels were being
swung upon the market and as quickly COB
bed. Eggleston offered 100 900 bushels of
January at SIC. and Lester took it, as he did
5000, 900 bushels, but whether he backed
Lester down or had to back himself
no one will tell 1t was one of
the largest days business ever done
in the corn pit, and when 1 o'clock p NJ had
arrived the market closed for December at
$3.50 bid. January $3.50, May 5S5sc bid. On
the call, December closed at SIC. Margins
were called tonight on the basis of 60c per
bushel for December. Some of the New
York parties realized to-day with handsome
profits. The estimate of an increase in the
visible supply of wheat of $4,000 bushels,
and receipts of 376 cars helped to depress the
D almost abandoned wheat pit, and when corn
weakened wheat went off 1Hc, and then re-
acted with corn &c. The close was about
&c lower than yesterdays.
Fifty-two thousand hogs were received to-
day, and there were about $4,000 left over.
Packers took $4,000 and shippers 1000.
Heavy grades were about &c higher.
Despite the large receipts the provision mar
ket on Change opened actively under large
purchases by local operators and an unusu-

Sizing Up the New. Senators.

Special to COurier-Journal.
Great interest was taken in the cut OF the
new Senators. They compare favorably
with the older members, both as to sober
ness of attire and external indications of po-
liucal acumen. Perhaps tine most gentle
manly looking of the lot is Senator Cullom,
of Illinois, whose pleasant, intellectual face
invoked much favorable criticism. Palmer,
of Michigan, has a Ben. Butler cast of
countenance but his optics are
straight. He parts his heavy, badly
trimmed hair in the middle. and
brushes it in sweeping angles down his fur
rowed brow. Wilson, of Iowa, is canny-
looking, mddle-aged gentleman, with thick,
steel-gray hair, close-trimmed beard Of the
same color, and face denoting a good
amount of sound sense. Colquitt, OF Geor-
gia, has a sagacious-looking forehead, from
which his iron-gray hair is brushed behind
his ears. He seems like a man of parts, with
will strong enough to make himself felt.

Dolph, of Oregon; Gibson, of Louisiana;
Kenna, of West Virginia; Manderson, of

A Guess at the Composition of the Ways
and Means Committee.
Special to Courier j. Journal.
The ways and means committee is the
real job, and it ought to be and will be thor
ouehly revenue reform. 1t is believed it
will consist of eight revenue reformers and
five protec.ionists, four of these to be Repub-
lican and one Democratic Here is shrewd
guess of its composition:
VIM. r. Morrison. H.. Chairman.
John r. Tucker, Va; Frank II. Hurd Ohio;
Jas II. BlOunt GA; John Kasson, Iowa;
s. j. Randall Pa; w. ID. Kelley, Pa;
John Hancock, Tex; Albert s. Wilns KY;
j. Warren Keifer, O.; a. s. Hewitt, n. Y.
e. John Ellis, La; VIM. II. Calkins, Ind.
This is fairer committee than the last,
and, whilst making assurance of revenue re-
form a certainty, gives the protectionists and
Republicans their strongest men. Rosecrans
will be chairman of military affairs, with
Socum good second. Dorsheimer will be
given good place on the judiciary; SO will
Follett. Reagan, OF Texas; Buckner and
Hatch, of Missouri; Herbert, OF Alabama.
and Stockslager, of Indiana will all get good
chairmanships.
OF course John Randolph Tucker will have
the chairmanship of the judiciary, as, if the
Democrats come in, he will be Attorney-gen-
eral. He is conceded to be the ablest lawyer
of the House.

THE POOL.

The representatives of the rail-
roads west of the Missouri river,
are in San Francisco, trying to fix
up a pool arrangement: in other
words, endeavoring to agree upon
an equitable division of the spoiIs,
The opening of the Northern
Pacific for through business has
made necessary another adjustment
of the traffic agreement by which
the roads have heen apportioning
the profits among themselves. The
line mentioned is naturally am
bilious to get a large share of the
business. 1t has new road, a big
debt, and hungry stockholders, a
combination that suggests the ne
cessity of extraordinary exertions.
That those exertions will be put
forth may confidently be expected.
The man Willard seems to be the
sort of person who will not let his
road suffer so long as there is carrys
ing to be done. Already it has
dawned upon the pool convention
that the Northern Pacific has an
idea that it is very important ele.
ment in the meeting. The old roads
do not take kindly to the suggestion
that they must surrender a consid-
cradle proportion of their enormous
profits, Yet it is clear that they
will have to accept the situation or
enter into war of rates that can b ,
no moro ruinous to the northern

THE FIRE DEPARTMENT.

1t is a good beginning that the
City Council has made in the mat
ter Of a paid fire department. Of
course it seems a small force-onlY
FIVE men on regular duty at the en-
CINE house-but it is perhaps all the
Council would have been justified
in employing, considering the con-
dition of the municipal treasury.
However, five men, ready for imme-
date duty and well trained, are
more effective than half hundred
not ready for work at a moments
notice. The first few minutes at a
fire are everything. By the new
arrangement some apparatus can be
gotten onto the ground and into
service, while under the old order
of things the men were getting to
the engine house.
Yet while this is an improvement
that will be commended by the pub
lie, we must not stop here, but soon
make another advance. Salt
Lake, if not already rich
enough soon will reach the
point when she must maintain
an effective and sufficient fire brig
ade. Had the little blaze that was
started the other evening been left
to itself five minutes longer, the
value of the property destroyed
would have been more than the cost
of a force of fifty men a year.
Money expended in Well-ordered
fire department is among the best
investments that the corporation
can make. If the municipal income
is not large enough to maintai n a
sufficient brigade, the taxes will
have to be increased and more rev.
enue provided. Property owners
will pay almost as cheerfuIly for the
preservation of their property as for
the protection of their lives. How,
ever, we will first see how the new
order of things works. and advance
as the occasion requires.

| competitor than to the other lines.
1t looks as if it were
going to be rather difficult for
the roads to agree. One of the
representatives said, that in order
to satisfy all, there would have to
be distribution of about 400 per
cent. of the business, which would
indicate the holding of greatly
magnified ideas by all the lines. If
the public could have voice in the
matter it would be sounded
against any pool arrangement, for
the pool system is simply a combi-
nation to rob the public. Railroad
companies claim that they
are obliged to form these traffic
compacts in order to protect
themselves. The truth is they
form the pool so as to hold the pub
lie while its pockets are being
picked. If the roads were operated
separately and independently of
each other, the business would be
performed for what it is worth, and
the public treated fairly. If there
is not enough trade to maintain a
road, let the road go to the wall I'M
til there is. Do not compel Portland
to pay tribute to line in Southern
New Mexico, nor force Omaha
to pay interest on Northern Pacific
bonds, when she can have no posi-
BILE concern in keeping up the price
of those obligations. In the west,
however, there is no danger of any
railroad losing money, even if it be
not protected by the pool. There is
plenty of business for them all, and
business which cannot be diverted
from its proper channel, if the road
will manifest, not a liberal, but
fair and reasonable policy. 1t is
too much to expect, but we
wish it could be that the
meeting in San Francisco would
break up in row, and for once the
transcontinentaI railroads be each
left to attract business by its own
efforts. We would then soon see
which is the better line, and which
could do the work the cheapest.
There is no fear that any of them
would carry passengers or freight
less than cost, no matter what the
competition.

Council for the removal Of the CHS
nese washing industry to some
quarter isolated from the business
and inhabited part of the city; nor
who wrote the petition, but the sug-
gestion and prayer might both have
come from a more enlightened race
than the Chinese. This matter is so
unlike anything that has come from
the hated heathens, that few people
will credit them with Esincerity in
the business, or with understanding

really smacks of intelligence,
thoughtfulness and enlightenment,
and how can We allow these to
the Chinese? However, the
petition is on record, and
should be acted upon as the
laundrymen request, and more also.
The Chinese ask that only the wash
ing branch be removed, no restric~
tiOns as to locality being placed on
the ironing part of the business.
The entire industry should be taken
aWay-the washing as a sanitary
measure, the ironing as a protection
against fire. AS Sing suggests, the
washing industry necessarily creates
q nuisance, which is made worse in
a town like this where there are no
sewers for carrying off the suds and
filth; and as Sing does not suggest,
the ironing industry is a nuisance in
that property in the neighborhood Of
one of these establishments is in
constant danger from fire. The care
lessness of the Chinese in this mat
ter Of fire is proYerbial. Some Of
the more disastrous burns in
western towns have resulted from
this negligence. AS these people al
most inYaribly occupy lickety,
tumble-down lumber shanties, and
always keep them strewn with
highly infammable material their
shops are literal fire traps. So long
IS these finder boxes and their
reckless occupants are Isolated from
other property, it makes little differ
ence, but now the washhouses are
mixed up with some valuable blocks,
increasing insurance rates, and en-
dangering life as vel as property
The better way will be to designate
some spot on the banks of the
Jordan, for the exclusive occupancy
Of the Chinese lauudrymen, and
compel them all to occupy it. They
can then enjoy the filth by them
selves, and if they want to burn
their shantles, nobody else will be
injured by the confsgration. The
Council now has an excellent oppor-
tunity for getting rid of a nuisance
in good shape, the Chinese them
selves having requested 1t. The
sooner the business is attended to
the better will everybody be pleased.
