FRANK THE GREAT.

The Candelaria True Fissure thus
up ends the Argonaut:
Frank Pixley is conceded to be
the most interesting and correct
writer Of English on this Coast, and
it is generally considered presump-
ton for one Of the lesser lights of
Journalism to tackle him on any
argument, But we do not feel that
we were doing our duty were we to
allow his opening article IN the last
Argonaut to 90 to the country I'M
challenged. We are we'll aware
of the fact that with a single stroke
of his devasting pen, a single wa =
of his gigantic jaw, he could smite
poor we out Of existence, but, all
the same we propose to say our
say.
The great am starts his article
with the assertion that Boycott
ing is foreign production =
1t comes from Ireland
In his unreasoning hatred of
Ireland and Irish thinks his reck-
less regard for the truth is exceeded
only by his supreme ignorance.
The two items following, clipped
from exchanges, show how far off
he can get when he wants to,
George Washington was the
first boycotter in America. He
said: If we cannot get our freedom
we will shut up the factories of
England and starve her merchants"
''Boycotting has ancient authority
in Massachusetts,. Hon. William
Northend, in an interesting address
before the Essex County Bar As
ISOLATION last December, relates
how in 1851 the Court of Assistants,
for action which met with the dis
approval of the community, order
ed that Thomas Gray's house at
Marblehead be pulled down, and
that no freeman give him house
room or entertainment. This was
pretty effectual boycott. 1t left
the offender no associates except
the Indians. His business certain
ly was ended forever in these
parts"
All of US who have read the able
and interesting journal of which
Pixley is the head recollects that
he, but few years ago, advocated
the sinking of the ships employed
in the importation of Chinese. Try
for moment gentle reader, to i'm
agine him saying that the present |
peaceful and perfectly legitimate
boycottlng movement prevalent on
the Coast is cruel, inhuman and |
un-American. Compared with the
ideas suggested In Franks blood
thirsty editorial, it is the very
essence Of miidness.
He says that the movement is
not in the hands Of Americans.
There be lies. The movers of the

The Week Opens Under Favorable Auspices
Trade More Acrive-Prices Strong.
INDIANAPOLIS, Oct 25.
The local markets exhibit more activity, and
strong prices are noticeable on nearly all lines of
goods. The cooler weather promises to give
more snap to trade and the frmer prices are
creating better feeling. To-day grocers report
coffees still moving upward. and sugars are a
good deal irmer with excellent prospects of an
early advance. Hens and chickens are in better
demand, and prices move up little, it will be
noticed The dry goods men are having good
trade still, and with cooler weather it, as WELL
promises to further improve. The wool market
has taken on a more quiet tone, but prices are
firm The Boston Journal says there has been q
fair demand for wool, and prices are supported
about as firmly as for some time past. No
further advance has been made and for the
time being it looks as though high-water mark
had been reached, but such is the condition of
the markets. at home and abroad, that holders
feel confident that present prices will be sus-
tanned, and that further advance will be estab-
lished before the end of the year. Manufacturers
realize the situation and when in need of supplies
they purchase at full current prices but many
VI tucu1 are uOW we'll SLOCkeO, anu are QOG Toduy
to purchase to any great extent until the goods
market shows signs of improvement, and prices
are obtained equal to the higher
cost of raw material. The mar
ket, therefore, is more quiet this week,
but there is no concession in prices on the part
of holders any desirable grades. We could
not find ''auy dark cloud overhanging the wool
market" and all dealers express themselves as
confident that the present prices will be sus'
tanned. The market is quiet, however, and some
small lots have been forced off the market at
slightly easier prices. But they are criterion
of the market, and are sold only to close some
particular account We are now in the season
of labor troubles which comes around every
year, and the season of tariff agitation will soon
be upon US. These are the two great disturbing
elements of the wool market. But unless the
first named assumes much larger proportions
than now seems probable and the latter is more
successful than in former years, may fear
little from them. Stocks If many descriptions
of wool are light, and lmporrations from abroad
are practically stopped for the present. The
statistical position was never more favorable,
and nothing short of hurricane of disasters can
demorallze the market for WOOL
GRAIN.
There is healthy tone to the local market,
and prices opened firm and continued so through
the day. Receipts of wheat are light with good
demand for spot stuff. Receipts of corn are heavy
and grading quite satisfactory Oats-higher.
Prices to-day ranged as follows:
