THE u. s. House of Representatives yes
terday, in passing the Senate bills to give the
widows Of Generals Blair and Logan pen
sions to the amount OF 8, 900 year. did a
most unjast aud unSisa act. The Generals
referred to never were subject to one tenth
part Of the dangers, priyatIons and suffer
ines to which every private soldier under
them was exposed; and while the former
were honored after the war, the latter were
left in oblivion. Ii the widowa of two Cen
erals are to have large pensions, surely those
of all Generals should have The same, and II
the widows of all the Generals in the army
shall have 50 900 a year, as his is free and

THERE Is some talk of selling the city
pss works to private parties. There is al
waya talk about something, and people had
better expend their breath ia that than
in worse ways. But ii would be sorry day
for the cts if such talk should be effective.
Several ,owns in the North were induced
to adept such plan, but only TO realize,
when too !sie, the great miatake they had
made. As tong rs The gas works shall re-
main the property of the city, their man
sgement will be subject TO the influence OF
the pub'ic; but if they shall become private
property, the public will have nothing to do
with them, except to submit to such exactions
as may be imposed. Ifthere must be mo-
nopoly, by all means let it be public, and
not private one. But, for all thiF, there is
no good reason Why the price OF gas here
should not be cheaper than tits.

THE Cincinnati Enquirer, demo-
cratic journal of national reputation,
publishes a story that Cleveland's S1O,-
coo contribution to the national demo-
cratic campaign fund was put up by
Myron H. Bangs, who was poor man
four years ago. and who got the
Charleston harbor dredging contract
through White House influence. He
made 500 900 out of it in single year
and, as the Enquirer puts it, ''the re-
port is that it was part of the under
standing when he secured these fat
government slices, that he should put
up for President Cleveland in his CAM
paign, and that when his check for &c.,
coo was received it was understood to
be the presidents contribution.

NEW YORK, Oct. Or. G.. Dun s.
Co. g weekly review of the trade, says:
The great wheat speculation has been
the absorbing feature this week, for
though the September corner came to
an end with heavy losses for sellers it
left the market in such state that
much higher prices for other options
we're obtained. With December wheat
at 1lS at Chicago there came heavy sell
ing and sharp reactions, but the state
of the market is still against all rea-
son. Cash wheat sells for more at
Chicago than at Liverpool, and at one
time it would have paid to ship wheat
hack from Antwerp to New York. at
New York sales of wheat amounted to
IOS ,463, 900 bushels, more than three
times the entire visible supply, and
prices closed SO cents higher than a
a week ago.
Corn advanced &c with sales of 49,
0O0, 600 bushels and oats a fraction.
The speculative fever was felt in other
markets and pork rose 81 per barrel,
lard 35c and hogs 25c per 100 pounds.
Coffee rose 1c with sales of SIG 500
bags, and oil 1c with sales of 6,738 600
barrels.
Cotton-There was slight decline
of 1c with sales of $3.50, 900 bales. The
wool market has been steadily strength
enin0 with the advances mainly in
Ohio fleece combing wool, but the aver
age of 108 qualities is hardly a quarter
of cent higher than on September 1st.
Reports from interior points are uni
formIy favorable outside the in
fluence of the yellow fever.

considerable stringency resulted from
and the self-defence measure
of the banks, but the stu
alton is materially improved. At
many western points the tenor of re-
ports is generally ragged.
There is less complaint as to cOllec-
| tions and money is increasing in de-
mand and the volume of bushes is
enlarging. Outside of New York the
bank clearings show gain Of 1913 per
cent here, but they are greatly swelled
by speculation at Chicago and other
points.
The demand for iron increases and
| at Philadelphia the advance in pig
iron is deemed equal to about 81 per
| ton, while remarkable improvement
| is seen in the market for bar iron so
long depressed. Steel rails did not adj
vance, but a sale of 1900 tons by
eastern and 20, GOO by western mills are
reported.
In the boot and shoe trade reports
are growing more satisfactory.
The stock market has witnessed
much selling and some reaction and yet
the average of prices is shade higher
than week ago, for the advance Of the
| bank Of England rate to cents lead to
some liquidation for foreign accounts
in American securities. Foreign trade

A Family Wrangle-

The st. Clair case, wherein the SON.
in-law, st. Clair, is defendant and his
wife, mother-lu-law and father-in-law
are the complaining witnesses, was be-
fore Judge Fletcher this afternoon.
Despite the disgusting testimony and
facts connected with the case, the room
was full. Nearly the whole settlement
near Columbia ford were summoned as
witnesses. Defendant was charged
with threatening to kill his wife and
asks for a bond constraining him to
keep the peace. Mrs. st. Clair is to
appear before the session of the federal
court at Lawrence, October Sth, to an
swer a charge of sending an obscene
letter through the mails. Both she
and her miscreant husband have had

Defendant was bound over in the
sum Of 500 to appear at the next term

KANSAS laws are liberal. Women
have equal property rights with men in
all respects. What man may do with
property, a woman, under like circum-
stances, may do. A homestead of 100
acres in the country OF one acre in town
is exempt from forced sale except for
taxes or in foreclosure of a mortgage
legally given. A husband cannot dis
pose of his wite's interest in any kind
Of property without her consent freely
given, nor can he cucumber it without
like consent. AS to property of every
description man and woman stand pre-
cisely equal before the law, whether
they are married or single. A large
amount of personal property is exempt
in possession and use of families
quite sufficient for the convenience Of
any ordinary family, and enough to
conduct all the work about farm as
we'll as in the house. Mechanics have
liens for the value of their work or
materials in building or other perma-
nent Improvement, and a labOrer's
wages for three months is exempt from
attachment, punishment and execu-
ton, for the benefit of his family.

DIES MONIES, Ia. Oct. "a fine
question that may take on national i'm
portance is now pending in the COVER
nOr's Office. The officers of Hamilton
county imposed poll tax on some
Italian laborers on the Northwestern
road at Stratford. The Italians do not
object to laboring for recompense, but
positively object to laboring two days
for the state of Iowa. They have,
therefore appealed to the consulate at
Chicago concerning the matter and he
has in return referred it TO Secretary
Bayard. The letter has been sent to
Governor Larrabee for statement Of
the case with his opinion as TO what
should be done. The Italians declare
that the imposition Of this tax is in
violation of the commercial treaty of
1881 between Italy and the United
States. The state claims on the other
hand that the taxation is according TO
the law of Iowa and il not in violation
of the treaty. There are several
thousand Italians in this state, all of
whom are greatly interested in the
question at issue.
