Mr.. ". NJ. u. is smart reporter,
A. every one must know,
And YOU can see the Wallace items,
In the Ottawa JOUUoi, oh
He can tell YOU lots Of nonsense;
But remember without fail
They are the biggest, biggest lies.
That ever passed through the mail,
He tells about one Red Bird,
Shooting at his beaver cap,
But the highway commissioners,
Have gotten him into trap.
He said that Mr. Gordon
Was the father of Il son,
But, in fact, lis only daughter,
And she lives close by Deer Run.
He said that Mr.. Kn-lcy'-
Horses ran away,
Busted his suspcndcrs,
And threw him from his sleigh.
Now, II, for Mr.. kinslcy,
He proved beyond a doubt,
That that was The biggest lie,
That ever yet got out.
Now the little JoUlpp',
Takes in all this silly stuff,
And thinks the Wallace reporter,
Is giving us quite puff
But If this young reporter,
Though manly, stout and bold,
Keeps on writing nonsense,
He'll get left out in the cold

You will be glad to hear the Champaign
Sugar Works Co. has resolved to enlarge
the acreage of sorghum for this years
crop, and have accordingly already made
contracts for 600 acres of cane. | suspect
so far the profits have not been large and
il may prove better for the stockholders ii
Is so, since if sugar could be made at II
profit under the double disadvantage of in
experience at the business and the very
bad crop years, everybody would 90 into
the business and manufacturers of north
ern cane would glut the market, AS the
glucose manufacturers did, two or three
wears ago. In the light of what has been
learned on the subject of sugar making, il
| is almost incredible that the first attempts
at making sugar with the ribbon cane OF
| Louisiana, were near failures, and that
moderate success only was obtained after
fifteen years of experiment And yet
there are thousands who predict failure
with sorghum, because the failures have
about equaled the successes, in the nOtori
ously cold and unusual summers.-B. +

THE B CONVENTION.
They Demand Action Against Nom Union
WoFkingmen.

UTICA, n. Y, Aug. 12.-The labor conven-
ton adopted resolutions that the executive com
mittee be directed to use every honorable means
in their power to have direct representatives
nominated and elected to the Legislature, and
that it is the sense Of this convention that
localities where such action may be
taken should receive practical aid from
organized labor through the State; also,
that we demand Of the Legislature
of the State the passage of a law
changing the Castle Garden labor bureau from
a labor bureau to furnish cheap pauper labor to
employers into a labor bureau for the benefit of
workingmen and citizens of the state of New
York and skilled labor of the United States; and
we also recommend the passage Of a law to in
crease the head-money tax on all immigrants to
$40 per.head so as to stop the influx of paupers
to this country, the money so raised by tax to
be used as a fund for the care and benefit Of all
immigrants.
Aresolution was adopted demanding the passage
of a law prohibiting giving work by contract or
otherwise, or the purchase of articles required
by the government Of the State to or from en-
ployers who employ other than union men. A
circular antagonissic. to Governor Cleveland,
signed by many workingmen, had been intro
duced, and a number of attempts were made to
offer resolutions deBonncing the circular, as nm.
authorized. The circular and all resolutions re-
lating to it, were ruled cut of order as not prop
erly before the convention.

BUSINESS DIFFICULTIES.
The wall-strest Bank to wind Up Under
a Receiver.

The Wall4Street Bank TO Wind Up Under
q Receiver.
New York, Aug 12.-President Evans, Of the
Wall7street Bank, states that additional investi-
cation satisfies him and the directors that the
amount of the loss will fall short Of the capital,
and that depositors viii be speedily paid in full.
A notice was posted this morning announcing
that all checks of Ogden & Co. will be paid on
presentation atthe First National Bank.
A rumor was current at the opening OF bust
ness that the absent cashier. Dickinson, had
been arrested, but it proved unfounded. It is
now asserted that Dickinson was using the bank
funds in private ventures in grain and stocks.
His margins, however, were small, but he
averted suspicion by putting small sums to his
credit In a large number Of Offices. IL is thought
his latest purchases, when closed out, viii show
a profit, as the market advanced after they were
made. Bank examiners are at work on the banks
affairs, footing up the losses sustained by
says it is not known whether q statement will
that the stockholders will not be paid % per cent,
and that the defalcation is larger than stated.
Vice-president Simpson states that the stock
holders will be paid so per cent, and depositors
in full Reliable authority says the deficit will
not be over $250,000. RHmors on the street,
however, put the defalcation at half a million.
Brokers who had dealt with Dickinson are said
to be keeping quiet and trying to conceal the
fact that they had transactions with hin. Dick
inson was not at his house this morning. The
general belief is that he is in Canada.
The directors of the bank decided to wind up,
and S receiver viii be appointed this afternoon.
