THE CITYS SOLDIERY.

These have been fine nights for sleep
ing. There has been just that suggestion
Of frost in the atmosphere TO make
blanket comfortable A Whit OF the
morning air is quite as good as cocktail.
Then, after good breakfast, and with n
light overcoat ON his arm, the man with
blood in his veins dismisses his carriage,
snaps his fingers at the street car and spins
down to his workshop feeling it is glorious
TO be alive, if only TO breathe. But how
about the brave soldier boys at the quar-
antine stations? II that thought crosses
his mind ii gives him pause. Indeed
il is one thing 10 be tucked snugly
under the coverlids these nights, but
quite another thing TO stand sentinel in
the woods through the lonely watches.
And for what2 For nothing more than TO
do public duty, without other reward
than the appreciation Of the community.
TnE APPEAL hopes that that appreciation
may be manifested, in some substan-
| tial manner. The members Of the Chicka.
saw Guards, the Merchant Zouaves and
the Schorr Zouaves, who volunteered SO
promptly TO form Gordon, have now been
on duty four days and nights. The fun Of
that sort OF thing doesn't last four days,
especially when the mir is as eager" as il
has been, and the responsibility as serious,
These soldier boys never yet failed "a
respond quickly when they could DO oI
any service 10 the city. This last task
has been particularly nrduous, but they
have shown the pluck and gallantry which
the community has learned to expect Of
them. Now, would II not be the hand
some thing TO show the boys that theiI
conduct is fully appreciated II Is OF little
moment what shape the testimonial takes
but TnR APPEAL would be- glad to put say
S25 into the pot. These boys are the
life and the hope Of the city. They
have shown the trao spirit Of good citizen
ship and good soldicrhip, and are worth &
great deal more than taeir weight in mus
kets and buttons. There is nothing Of the
fcaiher-bcd soldier about them. They
constitute an clcmcn, Of our social life, o
which We have every reason TO DO proud
Honon should be even.

Bureau Of Public Health to this extent
he will meet the demands OF the people.
Let the Marine Hospital Service have
control OF the coast quarantine, as it
should, being bureau Of the Treas
ury Department, but let the Bureau
OF Public Health be charged with
the enforcement OF all inland quaran-
tines, as it should, being a bureau of
the Interior Department. We sorely need
a national bureau that can enforce an in
land quarantine that will closely confine
disease TO the place where it originated or
secures foothold, literally seal it up,
and leave all the healthy places free from
fear or apprehension OF its spread by
tramping refugees-free to pursue their
avocations and farther their trade inter-
ests undisturbed and in unbrolSen con-
tinuity.

THE GREAT WHEAT BULGE.
TIE CHICAGO TIMES SUMS UP THE
SITUATION INTERESTINGLY.
What Poor Harper, of tie Fidelity Bank.
Didn't Do and Got in the Penitentiary
What Success Always Does.

CHICAGO, H., Sept 27.-The Chicago Times
tomorrow will sum up the situation on ths
wheat bulge, las follows Last year Harper, Of
the Fidelity bank, tried to boost wheat above
the 100 cent line but he only got it to 93A
cents. That was June z, 1887. Harper was
Just year too previous. What was impos-
sible then is as easy as rolling of log now.
Conditions were different and a different
set OF men are under the market. The deal
of last year was rotten from inception to col
lapse. The deal Of September, 1888, seems
TO have been founded on correct business
principles, and carried on by men OF brains
and honesty as well as money. When the
Harper deal collapsed there was nearly
5000 900 bushels in Chicago warehouses,
with additional millions of bushels pointing
this way. This wheat was carried on shoe
string margins by desperate gamblers. Az
the present moment with the September
deal approaching close there is less than
5000, 900 bushels of contract wheat In Chica-
10, practically all of which is held by one
man. who has paid for IL with his
own money and locked II up, and the
strangcst thing about the whole business
Is the fact is at no time during the month
have receipts been above normal. Within
receipts would naturally be looked for, but
the movement amounts TO only thin,
trickling stream. Nearly 1000 cars Of wheat
a day poured In upon Harper during
the last few days Of his calHmitous
corner ono million bushels every
twenty-four hours. Today receipts were
~, 900 bushels, and tomorrow the quantity
will not be any larger. The business days
yet remaining before the month closes Is
plenty Of time for wheat TO break 10 90 cents
or advance to 81. The course OF the market
during the next two days depends entirely
! upon the extent Of the short interest yet
| outstanding and the disposition Of the shorts
TO settle What that interest amounts 70
only one man can tell and lac won't.
That man is "Old Hutch"
The TTmcs says that never was there a
smoother deal run than this Of old Hutch s."
The paper attributes this largely to the popu-
| lar disbelief that the cold man" would run
ono. "Ile never had and he never would"
was an expression that for years had
been repeated 20 often that II came TO
be absolutely true. While no definite
statement can be made rs TO the yet out
standing short interest a generally excel
| lent authority puts IL at about $1,000 90
| bushels. The bulk OF this according
10 apparently the best gueSsers, Is
on English and other foreign nc-
| count. Hutchinson's gains aggregate
already AZ the lowest estimate a clear mil
| lion and q half dollars. Treble may be
nearer the true figures. How much moro
will be added, or possibly deducted, when
| the deal Is finally closed can be told perhaps

PRESIDENT NETTLETON
d mnn. sIre.-CardLnal Riehe,i1n

great man, Eirc.--CdTdtHdt hchcbh
Gen. Geo. II. Nettleton, President OF
the Kansas City, Memphis & Birmingham
Railroad, to use the popular name, yester-
day telegraphed TO his representatives
here that he had directed work to begin
at once on the west pier OF the great
bridge, which is TO span the Mississippi at
Memphis. This dispatch came plump
with the decision OF the local author
tiles 10 relax the quarantine regu-
latons, in view OF the continued
cool weather. The effect was magical. 1t
was like n bugle call, and sent the blood
bounding through the veins of every citi-
zen Of Memphis. by this timely act Gen.
Nettleton not only does honor to himself,
but honors his colleagues in the railroad
| business. During all the troublesome
period Of quarantine, the conduct OF the
railroad companies has been nnex-
ceptionable. They have been helpful,
accomplishing and cheeriully submissive
TO authority. We believe that any other
railroad president who might have enjoyed
Gen. Nettleton's opportunity would have
done the same thing, and THE APPEAL,
in voicing the popular appreciation,
will not embarrass him with invid-
ious distinction. II is not infre-
quently that the press finds just occa-
sion TO criticise the railroad companies,
but, after all, the relations between them
and the public are still in process OF deter
minaton and adaptation, and - well,
every dayll be Sunday by and by"
The palpablc thing before the people OF
Memphis at this time is that
Gen. Nettcton has done grand,
good thing. Long life to him
Here we were all in tho dumps, with a
disposition toward accrbity, and every
now and then somebody rcmarRing, with
gruosome air, that most things temporal
were at skies and sovens, but along
comes Gen. Nettleton and with a word
puts us TO rights and makes us
feel that the world is moving, and
that Memphis has actually reached, ut
the very moment she Is INDUCING in I'll
OF the blues, the threshold OF that mil
lonnial period which was to be
ushorcd in when there should DO laid the
first stone Of the great bridge across the
Mississippi. Men and brethren, the Lord
is good 10 usl Memphis is going
brayely ON. Lot the toast pass.
What is yesterday, in the light
Of today and tho promise Of tomorrow
Verify, Il is time for rejoicings Gen.
Nottleton IL entitled TO all tho laurels that
are within reach. His telegram Of ycstcr.
