for the season, while Chicago is not keeping up
in this respect Indianapolis, however. runs a
little ahead of last year Ths talk of disease
among swine in the West is subsidiug. The
season has been an unusually favorable one for
feeding, and this may have a bearing upon
the reduction of shipments this month.
The flour market is still under cloud. The
Boston journal of the 18th says ''We would
like to give improved tone to the -four market,
just to take it out of the old rut in which it has
been running for some months, but facts will
not permit it, and we are reluctantly compelled
to report the market as dull In fact,
we have never known buyers more Indifferent,
and their purchases are confined to immediate
wants. We doubt if even concessions would lead
to any increased activity 1t is now estimated
that about three quarters of the -four mills of the
country are idle or grinding only sufficient wheat
to meet the local demand for flour, and holders
are firm and confident. Western millers are be-
ginning to feel that it is no object to supply the
Northern and Eastern trade with flour at less
than cost and while buyers are Indifferent hold
ers are also Indifferent and sell only when full
current rates are obtained" There is nothing
encouraging from Great Britain or the continent.
Flour and wheat appear to continue dull at all
points abroad. Small shipments from this side
are more than made good from other points, and
abundant supplies on hand and afoat check any
improvement. In the leading English markets
the trade appear to purchase precisely as they
do here, only for immediate wants, and it is
doubtful when more favorable state of things
will prevail" The New York Produce Reporter
still looks hopefully the future of the market,
and says: 'The only great market in the world
forthe surplus of producing nations Great
Britain, and for five months past her markets
have been overstocked; much stagnaton and de-
preston have prevailed there which has been CON
stantly reflected here, and the question naturally
comes UP, can we compete with foreign nations
In the one great market in producing flour so
low as to command that market for our surplus.
or shall we have to greatly curtail or productions
We think We can. Superior quality, rapid and
cheap transportation are elements of strength
which we possess in so great degree that we
are placed far in advance of other nations"
GRAIN.
Tameness still broods over the market. The
Board of Trade Price Current says
Wheat continues dull and weak, with very
little local demand shipping inquiries. Flu

Garfield and Tuctap

Mrs. Garfield did a very graceful and
a very sensible thing in asking John
Randolph Tucker. of Virginia, to act
as the guardian of her infant children
during theirSegal minority. Graceful,
because Tucker was one Of Garfeld's
truest friends; sensible, because a bet
ter man could not have been found for
that responsible position. When Tucker
came up from his professorshp in 1.-The
University as the Virginans call it,
a brilliant, scholarly, big-Eearted, old
fashioned Virginia gentleman, to sit in
the House Of Representatives,, he sought
out the more cultivated among his col
leagues and made them his friends.
This was not difficult. for no one ever
knew him long without loving him.
Among them all he found no one so
congenial as Garfield. Although they
differed Numerically in most things,
yet they had much in common. Gar
field was big-brained. big-hearted
boy. his enthusiasm tempered only by
his culture. Tucker was personally as
delightful as Garfield, ex, elIing him in
his ability to tell good story, and was
intellectually his peer in every respect.
At the same time he NaS morally strong,
as honest as he was fearless. although
he was no better equipped for political
life than Garfield. O: course. their
political views differed i'll ia:o. Tucker
was State-rights man: Garfield was
a nationalist. Tucker was Il free-trad.r;
Garfield protectionist. Bot one day,
after their friendship h.1 become fact,
Garfield came over to fuckers desk
on the Democratic side OF Tie House
and said: ''Tucker, You know l am a
protectionist, but l wan; that there
should be free trade hereafter between
you and me in matters literary ''With
all my heart responded fucker, and
from that time to the day OF Garfield's
death they were the Closest friends.
They both loved literatnrc-s.ll letters
ancient and modern, but perhaps most
of all, the Greek and Latsn classics.
Every day they managed 10 steal time
from even the most en9ros>ing of their
legislative duties for IN excursion into

HOW IT LOOKED TO THR GOLD
MAN OF THE PRESS"

From the Jackson Herald-W. e. Gould. ]
st. Jackson ut Logan.
One of the most interesting
events in the history of Logan
was the Banquet last Thursday
in commemoration of Jackson's
victory at New Orleans. The
Democrats OF Logan put on their
holiday attire and devoted them
selves to making the day mem
orable, and succeeded in re-
markable degree. Feasting COM
menced at l o'clock, when Free
Dinner of elaborate preparation
was served to "the old men of
the party" III the county who had
voted for Andrew jackson, of
whom there was quite a number.
In the evening a Banquet was
furnished to everybody who de-
sired to attend, and such an ag-
gregation of good things for the
Inner man. has seldom been
equaled and never surpassed
About one thousand persons par
ticipated who were seated at ta-
bles provided to accommoda e
about three hundred persons at
a sitting. The walters were Lo-
gan's prettiest ladies, married
and single, and Logan has as
many lovely women as any other
town in the Union, Their bright
faces and sparkling eyes ad-
ded additional zest to the ele-
giant provisions they supplied
with such ease, grace and ra
pidity.
The responses to Toasts were
to the point, brief and pithy.-
Judge Robert Wright presided a;
the evening ceremonies and Lew
Green, of ,he Sentinel, was MAJOR
DoMo of the occasion, which is
conclusive evidence that every
thing was done in order. Qaite
a number of Republicans partici
pated and seemed interested thai
Logan should surpass all former
efforts in public entertainments.
1t was day of great pleasure
and an era of good feeling, all
differences of opinion and party
prejudices being forgotteI for the
time,

Don't Go Far Enough,

Col. Vance. in the Gallipoli.
Bulletin, speaking of the Weldy
intimidation Bill,' says it does
not 60 far enough. He complains
that the Railroad and Syndicate

this further:

The Prayer Test.

A report from Logan saws the
people in the valley are trying
prayer as a means of averting the
bloodshed that hangs over them.
That's just the way with some
people. They will never crook
he pregnant hinges of the knee
until every other resource fails
The efficacy of prayer under snch
conditions is open to debate
Jackson Herald.
The proposition for a "praver
test" as above stated, was sug-
gested by Bro. Gould of the Jack
son Herald. who in reading the
Columbus papers. get an idea
that dead men lay thick on the
coal hills as autumn lie ives. and
that the Monday Creek Overflow
ed its banks with human blood.
Bro. Gould belongs in county
where murder is committed at
least once a week. The PRAYER
test he applies there, he thinks
keeps biood>hed down TO that
limit III his own comfy.
But inasnuch as no bloodshed
Is occurring in the Logan neigh
borhood. we have concluded to
relieve the Almighty and urn
the matter over to John 7. Norris
and the Ohio Legislature.
The place for prayer is where
these factors, Norris and the Leg
is.ainre. are not spreading them
selves, in Jackson county.
The barren hinges of the Ha "
Eaters knees are Stitiened
straight at this writing.
