CHICAGO REVIEW.
Business In the Grain Center Dur
ing Yesterdays Session.

CHICAGO, November 4.-Wheat was
quiet to-day most of the session, and
fluctuations were again confined within
narrow limits. The opening was easy,
with first sales showing i4a3sc. decline as
compared with Saturdays closing, edscd
1sc. more, then rallied 1c., ruled firm and
closed about sc. higher for December and
May than the closing figures OF Satur-
day. No special influences were brought
to light, though after the decline the mar
kct ruled quiet most of the time. his
was due to the visible supply showing a
smaller increase than had been generally
expected, and to report that Dodge, OF
the agricultural department, had written
to the American Agriculturist claiming
only 3S, 900 900 acreage, and on this ba-
sis calculated that the crop would be
+S6, 900, 900 bushels, or 4TO,OOO,OOo
bushels of sixty pounds each. There was
also more talk of concentrated increases
of December wheat, which induced some
covering by shorts. Receipts were again
very heavy. Minneapolis and Duluth re
served ,652 cars. The visible supply in
creased 1875 900 bushels, whereas nearly
twice that quantity has been expected,
The increases were chiefly at Baltimore
Buffalo, Chicago, Minneapolis and New
York. The decreases were at st. Louls,
Toledo and chiefly on the lakes and Can
ada. European adviccs quoted wheat
dull and the feeling easier. Later in the
session the market was strengthened by
the reported taking here of some % ,OOt
bushels of freight room. Part OF TINS
wheat, it was reported, was taken tor eN
port.
There was only moderate speculative
| business transacted i'll corn, the bulk o
trading being III December, The feeling
developed was comparatively steady yanC
no material advance established. The
market opened a shade lower than th'
closing prices of Saturday, was casicrto1
a time, selling off lsahc., rallied and ad
vanccd 1saasc. upon covering by loca
shorts, ruling easier and closing tr'ti
lower than Saturday.
Oats were quiet and lower early, bu
later became stronger and prices al
vanced ha3sc. May was the iavorite AM
showed greatest variation.
A brisk trade was repOrtedin i'll mess por
attended with considerable pressure am
a marked decline i'll prices. Stock IT
ported on hand had a depressing etieC
and encouraged shorts to enlarge thel
line. Prices declined 3sc. on November
5a1Oc. on year. and 1Oa12l2c. on JAM
arv deliveries, but rallied slightly and tn
market closed comparatively steady.
. Trading was only moderate i'll lart
Prices exhibited very little change.
A comparatively light business wa
transacted in short ribs.

Yesterday morning, at daybreak, there
was bright sky overhead and a crisp
white frost on the ground; but before the
sun came out of his chamber to run his
daily course there came up body of tog
so dense and SO charged with moisture,
that it seemed to those it enveloped, that
they were wrapped in veritabe cloud.
Captain Breese, in his early ride to town,
was caught by it, and was convinced it
was a cloud swooping down unusually
low. II was a very we'll defined body,
moving in mass with its limits clearly
marked, and rolled away as quick as it
came up, opening up clear sky again,
but leaving everything it touched drip
ping wet. After all, there is little differ
ence between the cloud and the fog banks,
only the former is more heavily sur
charged with moisture, and does not
distil its waters gently like the fog, but
let's them out in heavy drops and con-
| tinuous outpour.

THEY SHOULD GO.
A Right step In the Right Direc-
ton.

Every town and every city is cursed i'll
greater or less degree with certain char
acter of houses, offensive to morals, con-
ducivc to disorder, very sinks of iniquity,
ccsspools of debauchery, traps of hell to
the unwary, a stencil in the nostrils OF
decency, an offensc to the eye and the
knowledge of good citizens. Neither
morality nor decency can have any tolera-
ton for such places; neither ought the
sound principles of municipal govern
ment find any such toleration They
should be stamped out as a conttagra-
ton is stamped out, even to the very last
spark of vice. A fire disregarded and
uncontrolled is no more disastrous to
the material well being of Il community,
than this flame of hidden vice is to its
moral safety. OF the two, the last is the
more far reaching Of the two; there is re-
cuperation for the one; stained morality
is rarely, if ever, restored to its purity.

The court also advanced and set for hear

STATE NEWS.

Wilmington Messengers The Consti-
tuition as drafted was in fear of the peo-
ple and on the side OF new Government
to be set up. The Twelve Amendments
were adopted through the influence
mainly of Thomas Jefferson, and they
are drawn mainly in behalf of the people
and in distrust of the Federal Govern
ment. They are the great break-water
against Federal usurpation, madness
and folly. They are the chief muniments
of great, free people. In this closing
quarter of the nineteenth century 1t is
more than ever apparent how necessary
are those Amendments. Hamilton, aided
and abettcd by Chief Justice Marshall,
did more to endanger the rights OF the
free and sovereign CommonwcalthS, and
the liberties of the people, than all the
other consolidationists combined down
to the great war and the advent of the
Republican party with its Stewards,
Stantons, Grants, ct ID Onnc genus.

WILLIAM JOHNSON DEAD.
This Useful Citizen Dies at His
Home OH Mills River.

We leared yesterday with peculiar re-
grct that this very good and very useful
man had died at his home on Mills River,
in Henderson county on Friday last of
pneumonia. 1t is as if we, and many
others also for whom we could speak, had
lost good old friend. More than once on
our road to Pennsylvania court, or on
our return, we have stopped at his beau
tiful home i'll the valley and the cheer OF
his firesde was not brighter nor more
grateful than the geniality of his manner
and the kindness of his nature. 1t al
ways seemed to us that his temper and
mis- expression had drawn their inspira-
ton from the placid lovelness of the
scene that surrounded him. His being
seemed to have taken its Coloring from
that upon which his eye rested so con-
stantly through life somewhat pro-
longed. What was smooth and verdant
lay around his daily path; what was
harsh and rugged lay atar, sottened
by the distance and enrobed with
the heavenly blue, symbolic Of the hope
full eye with which he looked into the
future.
Mr.. Johnson was a good man in the
full meaning of the word, husband,
father, ncighbor and citizen. He was a
lifelong member OF the Methodist church
He was brother of the late Rev. H. F.
Johnson, president of Whitworth Female
College, Brookhaven, Miss, and was
an uncle of Mrs. c. w. Malone and Mrs
o. H. Henry, of this place. He was
about ~ years of age.

CHICAGO.

The pubic agitation meeting of our
Section, which was held on Sunday af-
ternoon at Waverly Hall, was opened
by Comrade HEAVIER. Comrade Orchard
son introduced resolution for discus
sion, congratulating the lately formed
salt trust for the vigorous blows it is
dealing to the miserable system of com
petition. The directors of the salt trust,
Comrade Orchardson stated, must have
been studying socialism, for they have
made the discovery that milkman's
private enterprise method of serving
customers six blocks apart and in the
locality where the other milkman lives,
is not the most improved method of
saving labor. Hence, they have agreed
that each producer of salt shall serve
the consumers in his own locality.
Comrade Adams then introduced a
resolution, stating that many inmates of
the Home of Incurables are shamefully
treat ted by the officers and employees of
said institution, and that either the
municipal or the State government
should thoroughly investigate this mat
ter, The latter part of the resolution
reads as follows:
That the only true solution of the
troubles under consideration lies in
the founding of new order of so
ciety in which poverty will be
abolished, and sickness and i'm
potence will be no longer treated as
crimes, but in which the unfortunate
will be cared for with the tender, low
ing kindness that is accorded to suffer.
ing brothers and sisters. In other
words, the only remedy for all these
difficulties lies in the establishment of
complete socialistic form of govern
ment."
Finally, the following topics were
discussed: 'SOcialistic suggestions as to
the constitution making in the four new
States" Comrade A. Hamilton offered
a resolution that was adopted and or
dered to be sent to the conventions
which are now in session in Washing
ton, Montana, North Dakota and South
Dakota, as well as to all leading news
papers of these States for publication.

This resolution suggests that the citizens
OF the new States should not establish a
Senate, but that the Legislative body of
each State should simply consist Of a
house Of representatives.; also, that n
clause be inserted in the new Constitu
ton prohibiting the government from
granting railroad, telegraph, tele-
phone, manufacturing, or any other
franchise, to any person or corporation,
such grants being in direct opposition
to the rights and liberties of the Amer
lean citizens, as defined and guaranteed
by the Declaration of independence.
The resolution was thoroughly discussed
by Comrade richardson, Mrs, Wood
man and Others.
The German Section has decided to
hold concert on the 3lst of August at
Twelfth Street Turner Hall, in commem-
Grafton of the 2jth anniversary of the

tive speech on that occasion.
