TIE TRADE IN CHICAGO.

Chicago, Dec. a speciall-People on this side,
learning of the reduction in the Bank Of England rate
OF discount when they came down in the morning,
leapei TO the conclusion that this sign that the fnan-
cial trouble in London was mending would be followed
BY an instantaneous improvement here. The expecta-
ton was not realized. The trade was amazed to see
prices, instead Of advancing, become very weak. 1t
required the best sort OF news and the most vigorous
sort of buying to recover this decline. rhc close,
however, did finally show the early loss a little more
than recovered. December opened at 90, sold between
30 and Of, and closed at 90 IL; May opened at 90 SO.
sold between 81 "a and 90 IL, and closed at 90 Ia.
The Northwest, which had cleverly sold wheat at the
top, began to send in some news on the other side.
The receipts. fer instance. 1t was announced, were
falling off; the country elevators showed 100000
bushels less than a year ago; and the prediction was
made that the visible supply Monday would show a
decrease. The rally Of "a cents which followed
was not all maintained to the close. About 10000
bushels OF cash wheat was reported sold TO interior
millers. st. Louis reported a decrease in her stocks
Of wheat for the week Of over 400. 900 bushels. The
Northwestern movement showed no falling OIL. The
close In corn showed q little fractional advance. May
opened at 81. sold between 50 "a and SO 5-S, and
closed at 50 SO. The arrivals were 1913 cars: the
estimates for Friday, $50. Although lake navigation
was closed, the out movement OF corn from Chicago
has equalled the receipts. Provisions were very dull
pork at one time showed a decline of about 30 cents
lard Of Z IL cents, and ribs Of 8 cents. The final
figures were a little over the low ones OF the day.

The above statement shows that the net earn
ings for the first nine months of 1890 were 3d.
91S 10 less than for the like period in 1889; but
il does not show the fact that the cost of the ac-
cidents which happened on the road in the early
part Of the current year before the election Of
the present management was over $40, 900; and,
further, that the cost of accidents which occurred
subsequently was over $50, 900; thus making the
costs and expenses OF unusual and extraordinary
accidents in the current year amount to more than
$50. 900, all Of which have been betrayed and
paid out of the earnings of 1890.
But for this fact tine net earnings for the first
nine months of the current year would show an
increase Of more than $50, 900 over those for the
like period of the previous year, indicating that,
had it not been for such accidents, the net earn
ings of the road for the year 1890 would be near
Iy, if not quite, 4 per cent on its capital stock.
Prior TO October |, in tie current year, the
road handled about 3 900 carloads of materials for
use in betterments TO its property, for which no
charge has been made and for want of equipment
it has been compelled to refuse business which

The Ez-Pr.stdent Offended.

NEW YORK, June 28-Bishop Potter deliv-
cred the annual address to the Phi Beta
Kappa society of Harvard college, taking for
his theme ''Ihe Scholar and the State" In
the course of his address he said:
With us there is, you will say. no throne to
be bought or sold and no pratorian guard to
claim the price or deliver the scepter. But
We may not forget that the events of our re-
cent struggle for national existence have left
behind them a condition of things which
makes possible a situation only less scan
dulous, because less open and notorious.
The honorable provision for those who suf-
fered aud were disabled in the conntry's de-
Tense threatens under the selfish and unscru-
pulous manipulation of those who see in the
aggregation of their fellow citizens short
and easy road to political supremacy, to be-
come a pauperiZing system, which as the
least and the most innocent consequence Is
the ruinous burden which it is destined
sooner or later to saddle upon the public
treasury. Never was there pharisaism of
philanthropy in which personal aggrandize-
ment more impudently masqueraded in the
garment of a grateful patriotism than our
halls of congress have lately presented and
the unmanly silence with which schemes so
grotesque that they should have long ago
been laughed out of any intelligent public as
eembly have been received, is one of the
most amazing facts of our political expert
ence. 1t has come to pass that not alone
some SCARED and honorable veteran, not
alone some brave and manned survivor of
an heroic charge, that not alone the widow
and orphan, whom death on the field or in
the hospital have left bereft and penniless,
but every skulking camp follower and de-
serter, every fraudulent and tainted claim
ant who has the effrontery to demand his
bride, can have it if only his vote shall thus
become a commodity with the contract of
partisan dictation, and he himself lackey to
do his political masters bidding. have
nothing to say of those who have devised
this infamy and baptized it with the name of
civic gratitude, but for the manhood which
It is destined to corrupt and degrade no hon.
orable man can feel, think, any other than
the most profound sympathy and sorrow.
Happily q situation so grave has IN 1t ele-
ments of alarm which cannot easily be barren
of some good result. We are at the extreme,
wise men tell US, of g drift which became
well nigh inevitable as a result OF the vicious
forces generated in connection with our
great civil war, and if the nation is strong
enough to survive that innermost deteriora-
ton which has threatened and is threatening
the foundations of character among US, it
vii be stronger still because of the victory
which il has won over its unworthler self.
For ons, rejoice to believe it.

The Topeka shops Get a Big Order.

TOPEKA, July president Marvel has
given orders for the immediate construction
of !, 400 freight cars in the shops of the Santa
Fe road in this city, to be built for use this
fall and winter. This is the largest single
job of work which the company has ever un-
dertaken to accomplish at its shops in this
city. It means the employment of a large
number of extra men and the expenditure
in this city and state of large sum of money.
A prominent Santa Fe man, who has just
returned from Chicago, had talk with Mr..
Marvel, in which he voiced the warmest
feelings for Kansas. He said that he appre-
ciated the fact thatthe Santa Fe railroad is
essentially. Kansas institution. The inter-
ests of the state and of the road are SO closely
allied as to be almost identical. He said
that he desired to see these mutual interests
advanced, and he wanted to do all he could
to promote the friendly relations existing be-
tween the Santa Fe and the state of Kansas.
The road would stand by the people of Kan
sas as long as the people stood by the road.
As an instance of this he referred to the
building of the cars mentioned above. He
said that he had been out that morning get
ting estimates ON the cost of freight cars and
had found that he could have the cars built
on contract cheaper in Chicago than at the
company's shops in this city, but he had de-
termined that when the company had any
money to spend that it should be spent at

The Union Pacific Gets Two Million Acres
of Disputed Lands

The Union Pacific Gets Two Million Acres
of Disputed Lands
WASHINGTON, D. C., July L.-Secretary OF
the Interior Noble has sent to the senate a
response to resolution of that body direct
ing him to report the cause of Withholding
patents for lands within the limits of the
government to the Union Pacific Railroad
company, which are free from all claims.
and which were not reserved at the date OF
the definite location of the road. The secre-
tary says the conclusion has been reached
that the Indebtedness of the railroad COM
pany to the United States does not authorize
his department to withhold lands granted to
the railroad. and for which lists have been
filed. SIT is a subject for legislative control,
if it can be controlled at all. A large por-
ton of the lands now unpatented lie in the
states of Kansas and Nebraska, and have
already passed into the hands of innocent
purchasers from the railroad company. They
are being cultivated by the citizens of those
states for farms, and on them the homes Of
the people have been established"
This railroad was built on time, and has
complied, so far as is known, with all the
conditions of the land grant. No reason Is
deemed to exist, therefore, why the secretary
should not proceed now to deliver to the
Union Pacific Railroad company the lands
which have been earned, and it is his inten-
ton to certify these lists, commencing at the
eastern portion of the unpatented lands in
Kansas and Nebraska, where the lands are
agricultural. have been sold, and are in the
use of actual settlers. If there is any objec-
ton existing on the part of congress, this
action may be prevented by any resolution
or act that may be controlling in its effect.
The lists of lands selected by the company,
now on file in the interior department., pat
ents for which have been until now under
suspension, are said to aggregate about two
million acres.
