WHICH PROVIDES That the privileges which 1t
is proposed to grant to the parties signing
the lease shall not be exclusive, but shall
| be open to others. The secretary of the
interior will have the power to decide be-
tween applicants for sections of the park
and all leases are to be under his imme-
diate control. Any violation of the terms
of the lease, which fixes a rate of charges
for all accommodations provided for Wis
itors, can be punished by the secretary,
who has the power to take away the privi-
lege abused. The amended lease was sent
to Senator Vest to-day for his inspection,
and it is believed by the interior depart
ment officials that it will meet his approval
1t is expected that the new form of
lease will be signed before the end of
next week by the representatives of the
company engaged in the enterprise.
oUININE.
More surprise is manifested at the fact
that the ways and means committee took
quinine off the free list, and restored the
duty upon it, than at any other act of the
committee. The votes of the committee
are made public. Careful inquiry, however,
shows that the tariff on quinine was re-
stored by the votes of the Pennsylvania
protectionists, Kelley, Randall and Russell
Errett, aided by two other high tariff men.
There was not full committee. The vote
was only five to four-nine only of the
committee of thirteen being present. It
does not seem probable that the house will
agree to the restoration. There is
10 prospect that the senate
will take it of the free list. but the
tariff monopoly have devised very in
genious argument. They say that it is a
fact that quinine has been made no cheaper
by having been placed on the free list, and
that the drug imported from foreign
countries is adulterated and impure. BY
restoring the duty so that the Philadelphia
firm Of Powers q Weightman can make
the medicine with large profit, the ague
burdened sections of the country will be
able to get purer medicine at no greater
cost. 1t will be very difficult to convince
congress of the accuracy of this state
ment. This is the argument, however,
which was used on the ways and means
committee as one OF the means of accom-
plishing this result.
THE OLMSTED APPOINTMENT.
The publication here of an alleged list
of correspondents and prominent public
men who had petitioned for the Olmsted
appointment turns out to be very disre-
putable affair. The paper was taken away
41o -
furnished for publication. The signatures
of Brady and of Buell. and Helm, of the
Critic, which were on the paper, were not
used for obvious reasons, it not being ad
vislabe just then to disclose Mr.. Olmsted's
star route affiliations. Several of those
who were represented as signing for their
newspapers, actually signed as citizens,
and the names of their papers we're added
before publication. This is the case with !
all the newspaper signers except three.
THE GRAIN REPORT FROM NEW YORK
during the year 1882, presents some re-
markable features in its movement. The
steady decline of shipments of sailing
vessels in the last few years is very marked. !
In 1860 the reports of sail were 63.376,O00
bushels, by steam 49,966,0O0 bushels. In
1881 the reports by sail were 19,007, 900
bushels, by steam S3,502, 600 bushels. In
1881 our wheat and corn crops were both
short, and as a consequence our reports OF
1882 we're materially affected thereby.
The sail shipments for the year
were 6,284, ,289 bushels, while those by
steam were IS, 1878, AS bushels. After MAX
ing due allowance for the shortage of 1881,
in its effects on the reports of 1882, the
conclusion is evident that steam Will crowd
the sailing vessels from the grain trade.
Another important fact to be noted is that
not single bushel of grain was shipped
to Europe from New York in a vessel under
the American flag.
