THE LocAL STOCK MAnKrr.
Business Fairly Active the Past Week
Features OF the transactions.

EehBureS OF the IrAnSncttOnS.
Business was fairly active on the local Stock
Exchange last week, and there were several
features worthy of more than passing notice
The free selling of Columbia Insurance stock
cannot be attributed to dlstrust of the invest
ment, but was most likely occasioned by a
desire to realize funds. OF the Columbia
stock, 10 shares brought 16; 5S, 152; so, 15s,
and 100, 15l The closing bid was 15i, with
16 the lowest offering. The Columbia will
shortly remove from Its present location to
the Fleming Building. The free buying Of
Commercial Insurance stock was feature
elicittng remark. For 100 shares the full par
value of So was paid, with other sales aggre-
eating 400 shares at AZ. AT the close the low
est Offering was at ST.
The sales of Washington Gas stock con-
tinue light, but without improvement In the
quotation. The sales were so shares at 42i.
The closing bid 425, with 43 the lowest offer
ing. For convertible gas bonds 1873 was paid
for 81, 300.
Another feature of interest last week was
the constantly improving demand for Wash
fngton Loan and Trust stock. But 20 shares
were sold. 1t brought 9S The time has at
last arrived when there is no longer neces-
sity to sustain this stock, but the effort is
rather in the other directon-to hold down
the price until orders can be filled. The re-
moval of this company into its new quarters
has caused growth in its business far beyond
anticipations and an increase Of $3.50 900 in
deposits already.
Washington and Georgetown Railroad
bond scrip sells as fast as offered at 130 to 1873.
For ZOO 133 was paid $50 brought 1872.
The quotations on us Electric Lighting
bond scrip are nominally lower; 1,400 sold
for ITO. The closing bid was at 10S with no
public offerings.
Columbia Title Insurance stock remains
firm. The sales were $50 shares at Ct.
There is but moderate inquiry for Ches-
apeake and Potomac Telephone stock with
offers to take small lots at IS. The only sale
last week was of 10 shares at 55 At the close
on the board 81 was bid, with an apparent
Willingness to sell at IS or Sc.
There is some apprehension in the minds of
brokers that the usual heavy payments of
District taxes this month may limit the will
fngness OF the banks to extend accommoda-
tions as freely as heretofore on collateral
securities, and the feeling is becoming general
that movement should he made by the Board
OF Trade and other representative bodies to
induce Congress to allow the tax money to be
deposited In the banks instead of permitting
the United States Treasury to withdraw such
vast sums OF currency, the life-blood of COM
merce, away from the business community
These deposits are of no value to the Gov
ernment. but their withdrawal from the banks
occasions an Inconvenience which the COM
munity ought not to be called upon to suffer.

or late years, since Mr.. Kennan has been
lecturing and writing about Russia and the
Czars government from his peculiar and dis
torted point of view, we have had much TO
say about the cruelties of Siberia, and have
grown virtuously indignant over the alleged
wrongs OF the subjects of the Gear. 1t was
clear case OF noting the mote in our neigh
boris eye while not regarding the beam In our
own. Nothing more shameful, cruel or dis
graceful was ever perpetrated under the rule
OF any czar than the convict lease system
which prevails in several American States.
Perhaps our people will awaken to the shame
and disgrace and cruelty of this terrible svs-
tenn, now that 1t has caused state of virtual
civil war In Tennessee. The lease system is
not only cruel, so far as the convicts are con-
ccerned, but 1t is hideous injustice to free
labor, with whom these legal slaves of society
come Into direct competition. Yet, with this
infamous system in operation In number of
States, at once an injury and insult to free
labor and travesty on Christian government,

prate about the wrongs of an alien people

little caution, and have the bivalves we'll

there is no earthly reason why an oyster

IT is in way satisfactory to know that
some one has at last succeeded in saying
something about Senator Quay which that gem
tleman resents as libelous The satisfaction
arises from two considerations-tha there is
still good deal of vigor in the English lam
guish as she is printed in Pennsylvania news
papers; and that the callousness of Senator
Quay's skin does not extend as deep as some
people would have us believe.

RUDYARD KIPLING has made a worldwide
reputation and not o little money out OF the
East Indian trooper. He has now turned his
attention to the more commonplace and less
picturesque American pirate, and it is to be
hoped he will make more reputation and
money out of him. The chances are that he
will not, however. Mr.. Kipling will find the
American pirate much harder to ''catch" by
the literary or any other medium than the
East Indian trooper-harder, in fact, than the
flea Of Kipling's own India. Still, all who
believe that man should enjoy the usufruct
OF literary as well as of other property will
wish Kipling success in his endeavor to make

The annual report of Colonel Wilson, su-
perintendent of the West Point Military Acad-
emy, is of character to afford great satisfac-
tion to the friends of that model institution.
The fact that during the year no one of the
large number of cadets committed any offense
against the rules meriting suspension or dis
missal tells a pleasant story OF the executive
ability OF the officers in charge and Of the in
telligence, self-control, and diligence of the
pupils. AS Colonel Wilson says in his report,
the young gentlemen seem fully alive to their
exceptional good fortune in being selected to
receive the splendid training and education
provided by the Government at the institu-
tion, and turn their advantages to the best
account by submitting manfully to the strict,
but necessary, discipline and by applying
themselves closely to their studies.

many years after its mission was fulfilled
1T is always a grave mistake, except in the
most extreme public exigency, for private citi-
Sens to ''take the law into their own haudsn
On such occasions it almost always follows
that the excited aud uuorganized citizens go
further than was intended, and that in trying
to right some wrong a greater one is COM
mitted Even if this is not the direct result
of so-called mob justice, the indirect result is
almost always bad, and Injuries materially the
community in which the disorders occur. No
doubt the Tennessee miners, who on Fri
day night released the convicts at Bricevile,
have good cause for indignation against the
State authorities. The convict lease system
must be obnoxious to all right-thinking peo-
pie on humanitarian grounds, while its in
Justice to free labor is uumstakable. That
such system should be allowed to remain in
the face of the bitter hostility shown towards
it months ago by the Tennessee miners re-
fleets great discredit on the Tennessee Legis-
lature, on which, in a large measure, the re-
sponsibility for Friday nights disorder aud
bloodshed must be placed. At the same time,
the miners made grave mistake in resorting
to violence, which will hardly hasten cor
rection of the evil of which they complain.
This Government will make no mistake in
exercising great deal of patience and for
bearance in dealing with Chill at the present
time. We are so vastly more powerful and
wealthy than Chilli that the ill-temper of the
latter can only have the effect of making her
absurd and odious in the eyes of the world,
while our failure to take harsh measures will
be mistaken by no one for cowardice. If it
should really become necessary for US to at
tack Chilli, we could, as all the world
knows, blot her from the map with
out ever feeling the drain on our re
sources or causing any appreciable disturbance
in our trade or commerce True, Chiian gun
boats might succeed in destroying few build
ings in our coast cities and killing some of
the inhabitants, even were our Navy much
larger than it is; but in the end, and that end
could not be long delayed, the Chilians would
be so absolutely at our mercy that pride would
almost restrain us from taking just revenge
Nothing but the clearest proof that no hope
of fair amende for the attack on the
American sailors in Valparaiso need be
expected from the government of the
Junta should cause this Government to
seriously contemplate extreme measures
While the Chilian foreign Minister'S answer
to the note of the State Department, or at
least the translation of it made public, was
curiously curt, it cannot as yet be said the
Chilians have assumed an attitude of open de-
fiance. There is evidently much in the situa-
tion that the public cannot rightly judge of
on the information given out here. The in
dicatons are that Minister Egan has blundered
again in conveying his message to the Junta,
and If that gentleman were at once eplaced
by more. capable and less irritating man,
there would be marked improvement in the
situation.

BISHOP GRAFTON, of the Episcopal diocese
of Fond du Lac, takes position on the ques-
ton OF opening the Worlds Fair on Sunday
which will probably commend itself as right
and sensible to a vast majority OF the people
OF the country. The Bishop says: 'After one
has properly observed his duties on the Sab
bath, there is no possible reason why he
should not devote the remainder of the day
to healtbful recreation" The Bishop, there
fore, announces himself as decidedly in favor
of opening the Exposition about noon on Sun
day, or at least that part OF it which includes
the art and kindred displays. No doubt
those among us whom Max O'Rell keenly sat-
irizes as the ''unco guild" will make as bitter
an opposition to this proposition as they
would to throwing all parts of the show open
all day long; but in the end good, common,
nineteenth-century sense is likely to prevail
with the directors, and some such compromise
as that suggested by Bishop Grafton will be
adopted.
