Aud is it thus that men to such
low tricks,

brought to buy,
Whilst on either side receiving licks

And thus you see twas poor
Cardoza's fe:
He laid a trap for others, like the
elf
In running round he fell there in
himself.
All yes he did upon Prof. Brown
He made his charges that were
false and mean;
Attempted to criticise him up and
down;
Accusing him of actions most
obscene.
Yes what he said was harsh, but
far from keen;
For had he in those hours the
present known,
He had not made to Brown that
hasty answer,
Of which you can agree was no
good plan sir.
All well, sometime within our mod

Presented here before us in this
age
The man OF wisdom plays the sim
pie fool,
Although the fool scarce ever
plays the sage:
And this you sees to say when in
rage
Both great and small men go be-

Thus with Cardoza, wise perchance

A Minneapolis Sensation.

M1NNEAPoL1s, Sept. 2O.-The ugly ru-
mors which were barely whispered yester-
day afternoon in more or less direct con-
nect;0n with the failure of D. G. Maak &
Co. ended at midnight in the arrest of VIM.
&. Harley. of the grain commission firm of
Harley & Peterson, on the charge of steal
ing wheat from the Minneapolis Union
Elevator company. Harley was formerly
bookkeeper for D. G. Maak & Co. He left
them two months ago and formed a part
nership with Peterson, grain man of long
standing in this city. A Systematic course
of robbery OF the company has been car
ried on in which several parties have been
interested Owing to the construction of
the public elevator and the nature of its
business no one man could successfully
practice larceny upon its contents. Harley
was arraigned in municipal court this FORE
noon on the charge Of stealing $4,000 BUSH
els OF wheat from the Union Elevator COM
pany. Afterwards charge was changed to
l,5O0 bushels and bail fixed at $1,000. The
case was set for Tuesday. At the chamber

The House.

In the house Immediately after the read
ing of the journal Mr.. Burns of Missouri
called up tie conference report on the sun
dry civil appropriation bill and the house
refused-S2 to 49-to agree to it. Repre-.
sentative Morrow of Colorado introduced
resolution directing the committee on
enrolled bills to transmit the Chinese bill
to the president without delay. A point
of order was raised against Mr.. Morrow's
resolution and the debate upon the point
was spirited and at times almost bitterly
personal. Mr.. Payson said the bill was de-
layed because the president wants more
than the constitutional ten days. This is
part OF the same performance begun by
the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr
ScotO who attempted in demagogical
way to make some capital for himself and
his party. The speaker pro tenn. sustained
the point Of order. There was no law or
rule-prescribed manner in which the bill
should be transmitted to the president, but
the practice has grown up of entrusting
that duty to the committee on enrolled
bills. While sustaining the point OF order
he was not prepared to say that if the res
olutlon was again brought up in few
days he would rule that it was not privi-
legged. So the resolution was not received
and the house adjourned.

THE REVIEW OF TRADE.
An Improvement still Noted in the Le
gitinate Volume Of Business.

An 1mprovement Still Noted in the Le-
gitimate Volume of Business.
NEW YORK. Sept2l.-Dun & Cos weekly
review of trade says: The volume of le-
gitimate business continues to improve.
The crop reports are altogether favorable
as to corn. The general average of prices
has again declined slightly. In stocks a
severe reaction averaging So per share cul-
minated last Saturday and there has been
an average advance of $15O per share.
The crop which is the most important to
railroads as to financial aspects is not
large-the yield of wheat being SO,OOO,OOO
to aO,OOOOOO short of full crop. The
heavy rams late in the season 1--WE also
injured cotton to some extent as to grade
and probably as to quantity, but the feel
ing still prevails that large business may
be expected for the coming season, though
the fuller supplies OF money at western
and southern centers may cause the demand
upon New York to be lighter than usual.
Official reports show that the money in
circulation of all kinds was about 81, ,36l.-
ooO,ooo September lst, against $l,32l 900
year ago, and the treasury has put out
this month about S2.OOO,O6O more than
it has taken in. Besides adding 10 the
circulation the amount of gold and silver
coinage for the past week the addition to
the circulation has been $3,200,OO0 and on
Thursday $500, 900 more bonds were pur-
chased. Reports from interior points show
that money is generally in ample supply,
though there is some cioseness at Detroit
and Cleveland. The market is tight at At
lanta., Collections have improved. For
speculation money there is in abundant
supply but for commercial uses the market
is growing harder Business is failly ac-
tive at all interior points reporting and at
most it is better than year ago, but
while the principal centers report a
good and increasing trade the accounts
from several of the unusual dullness at the
smaller towns in regions surrounding sug-
gest that the distribution may not be an
swering expectations. Wheat has been
moderatively active with sales OF 29,OOOOOO
bushels and only Il cent net advance in
price, while corn has declined ~ cents,
oats a cent aud oil 81 cent. Pork pro.
ducts are higher. Meanwhile the exports
of wheat from this country for July and
August amount to 18,500,OO bushels-four
included-against 35,75O,OOO bushels last
year, and the supply remaining for export
is probably about 2i, 600 900 bushels greater
than last years exports for the rest of the
crop year.
