REVIEW.
NEW YORK, September 28-All the
news before opening was essentially bull
isb. The trunk line meeting yesterday
was very important one and the result
sn agreement TO advance rates. AL
though at opening there was some dispo-
sition TO take profits by the more timid
bulls. the buying was SO good and heavy
that II soon turned the market into q
most pronounced buoyant one with the
Vande,bilis AS the leading features.
This good feeling was augmented later in
the day by the receipt Of Chicago spe
cial that the freight agents OF east bound
roads would meet this afternoon and Or
der general advance in all rstes that
have been cut except grain, cattle and
dressed beef and they will be restored
very soon. The action yesterday by the
granger officials was believed to make
their future outlook brighter, that is If
the advance in rates would be maintained,
and operators believed that this time
they would stick together for some time
at least. The Erie statement showing a
net increase for August Of sC02s3 start
ed the buying Ia this stock. There were
also rumors of some important negotia-
tions, whether that is true or not IL 10
be seen, but il assisted the good feeling.
The Gould stocks were very strong.
Points were out that the Western Union
was the next bull card Missouri Pacific
was tied up on reports that Gould had
bought The ST Louis, Arkansas and
Texas railroad. This was confirmed in q
measure later in the day. The closing
was about the best figures Of the day for
most OF the list with very encouraging
outlook. Bonds strong. Money TWO

The Senate, on motion OF Mr.. Sherman,

The Profitable Cow.

The most profitable COW for the dairy Is
one that eats heartily. II Is these big
eaters that produce heavy yields Of milk
and rich milk. You want a COW that will
eat enormously, for you then have one
whose digestive and assimilative organs
are exceedingly well developed. II 10
those COWS that eat but little and arc over
dainty about the character Of their food
that pay but little profit in milk and but

monial In favor ola good dairy COW. A
gentleman remarked TO us not long since
that he had COW that hc did not think
ever had enough 10 eat nj one time In her
life. She ate enormously. We told him
that she was the very kind OF COW we adj
mired most, aud asked II she was not an

certainly must be, ~ she furnished milk

rum. Filibustcriifg motions were again
interjected, and isthe voice OF the clerk,
rendered somewhat husky from the task
imposed upon him Of calling fifteen rolls
during the day, again filed the hall.
Though the hour is still early and the
prospects OF an all night session are
strengthening, the House is already show
ing the effects Of the long session. The
seats and sofas in the rear OF the chamber
are. occupied by members who are either
giving themselves over to slnmber or are
smoking and chatting in order to resist the
tendency TO sleep. Atmosphere in the
hail IS heavy with tobacco smoke, the floor
IS strewn with edibles and scraps OF paper;
the spectators in the gallery, tired OF the
dreary monotonyo OF the proceedings, have
almost all departed, and, altogether, the
House does not present very cheering
scene.
Both sides seem determined TO carry the
night ON. The advocates OF the direct tax
bill feel that il they permit an adjourn
ment the chances for the passage OF the
measure at the present session OF Congress
are very small, while its opponents, being
oil the same opinion, are putting forward
every effort 10 secure an adjournment. 1t
Is possible, however, thatstoward or 2
o'clock WEAKNESS will weaken the deter
mination OF both advocates and opponents
and that some compromise will be affected:

NJ NEAL AND MORGAN

The Tenth District has no nah who
could better represent II in the Democratic
National Convention than Albert 4. Nc.
Neal OF Bolivar. lie has been q member
OF several National rs well rs State
Democratic Conventions, and in each in
turn has proven his special usefulness,
in the Chicago Convention, especially, Of
1884, in which he took very
high position, and was Of great SER
yico MS member Of one OF
the most important Of the standing
committees, that on platform. Memphis
is usually accorded one member, and il is
generally conceded that Judge Il. J. Nor
gan Is 10 be the man. No ono has, so far,
ven,urcd TO oppose him, and there is
reason to believe the delegates from Shelby
county to the District Convention will be
for him. The Judge is IN old.iashioned
Democrat who believes in party suprem-
ocy, and that the government can best be
administered by candid Interpretation
and calculation Of law according 10 the
canonsoi JelleHonian Democracy. Though
a man Of eminence at his profession, and
Of the front rank among his fellow citizens,
he has never pushed his fortunes along
tho party or political lines. The Offices he
has filed came 10 him MS a result Of his
professional worth and standing, and the
fulhllment OF their duties sealed the pub
lies respect and confidence In him. Tho
Judge would make n delegate that Mem
phis could be proud Of. Ills mien and
manner and his powers OF speech would
secure him commanding place among
the distinguished men who are TO assem-
bic in 81. Louis from all parts OF the
Union. With Albert McNeal for col
league, the District would be fully,
strongly and worthllyrcprcsented. We say
this in no spirit Of diotation, nor with any
view OF interfering win or barring the
aspirations Of other aspinnts for the
honors Of u day. Nor Is II to be under
stood that we present these gentlemen as
the candidates OF TUE ArrEAL. As we
have many times stated, we have no can
dldaics for any position or Office, and de.
sire that every Democrat in tho county,
district and State shall feel that each has a
claim upon our columns and consideration
equal to the other, and that all can have n
hearing. But there are no gentlemen In
the Tenth District more worthy than
Judge Morgan and Albert McNcal Of tho
honor Of representing Il in the National
Democratic Convention 10 assemble at st.
