Chicago Grain and Produce.

CHICAGO, May 6.-SpeculaJive trading
In wheat today again hinged on the
weather and to the contradictory reports
received The market during most of the
session ruled quiet. In the absence of gen.
eral rain, however, operators were not dis
posed to sell, in fact the buying exceeded
selling and higher range of prices was
established. The opening was $I@11sc
higher and advanced 1c moe, declined 135c
and closed about nc higher than Satur-
day. July opened 5s@3lc higher, ad-
vauced &c, fuctuated within a small
range and closed about &c higher than
Saturday.
Only moderate business was done in
corn, transactions being chiefly local and
fluctuations limited to H@15c range. The
feeling was firm and trading at slightly
advanced prices.
Oats were active, stronger and higher
Interest centered chiefly in June and july
which advanced 5s@Ic. Offerings were
moderate, but on the bulge they increased
slightly and a reaction of &c followed, but
the close was firm at 55c@$4c above Sat
urdav.
The feeling was somewhat nervous and
unsettled in hog products. Prices fiuctu-
Rted considerable within a moderate range.
The market opened rather weak. showing
later considerable temporary strength.
About the middle of the session the feel
ing was easier. and prices settled back
again TO medium figures, but toward
the close considerable strength developed,
End prices were we'll supported.
The leading futures ranged

to some rich man like John Wanamaker,
who is an honest christian gentleman the
way the world goes, and no newspaper or
person has ever even whispered ought to
the contrary. And there are also thous-,
and honorable christian gentlemen in the
city of Philadelphia as competent as he to
fill cabinet office, and some Of them more
so, who are representatives of the middle,
industrial class without question, and it is
no reproach to Mr.. Wanamaker to have it
thus set down, as our Sixth District friend
labors to make il appear.
The issue raised by him is not the virtue
or demerit of the individual. When he
becomes an agent of government, his in
dividuality is swallowed up. He represents
a principle or class. II is we'll know that
monopoly and the combination Of capital
are striving 10 grasp and hold complete
control of the nation, 10 shape all of its leg
isIation in their interest. That class ask for
representation and Mr.. w. is its choice.
There is no question but there is conflict
between monopoly and the people for con-
troll in the government. The agents phi
lanthropic heart and christian spirit are the
individuals personal property, as II were.
As part of the government he must repre-
sent and stand for the class with which he is
allied and which is his true constituency.
This fact may not be apparent to the super
fetal inquirer, and the agent may even Be
self deceived, but the common sense of the
public DEGREES that it is SO. Th,re is
plebeian and patrician class, the latter's
title derived from wealth, forming in this
country very rapidly and the struggle has
commenced for exclusive control of the
government, with the latter class at present
in the ascendent. The theory of our gov
eminent is to place these classes on an cx.
act political equality. That both these
classes will exist is inevitable. That the
patrician class shall not use Ethe machinery
of government to grind down the former is
the intense question of the hour, and the
effort of the middle, intelligent, patriotic
is to protect the class of greed from the
"volcanic fires" to which they are blindly
rushing, as much as to guard their own
safety and the ''moneyless rabble's" from
that ruin which grasping greed threatens.

About Indians.
Communicated.


A real live Indian of the Sioux tribe,
Rosebud Agency, Dakota, one Of the head
men of that section, stopped off at Colc.a
recently on his way to and from Washing
ton, where he went to look after the inter-
ests of his people. Those who had the OPP
porlunity of converslng with him, found
him to be man of superior intellect and
well posted in what is going on in the world.
He speaks English perfectly and is able to
converse in sixteen different Indian dialects.
He has acted as interpreter on many occa-
sions and in this capacity he was acquainted
with many Friends who haye at different
times been among the Indians during the
past forty years.
He wears G. A. r. badge and was with
Custer as scout, shortly before he was
