Grain Futures Decreea Gambling.


Those grain gamblers who are politely
called dealers in futures" in the technique
of the speculative world have just met with
judicial rebuff which virtually "knocks
them clear out" at one blow. Under a re-
cont decision of the Minnesota supreme
court at st. Paul their always rather ques-
tionable occupation is completely swept
away.
Inasmuch as it will practically enable
those who may happen to get caught in the
meshes of q disastrous grain deal to abso-
lutely repudiate their contracts unless they
buy or sell actual grain the decision is
likely TO prove gravely important aud far
reaching in its effects
This decision was based upon the case of
Oscar Aiohr against Nielsen. From the evil
dence it appears thai Oscar Mohr and other
merce sued Nielsen for money alleged to
have been expended on the defendants Or
der in the purchase and sale of grain.
In his answer the St. Paul man sets up
the defense that the alleged purchases and
sales were not actual purchases and sales.
They were described as merely gambling
transactions whereby the plaintiff under
took to buy and sell grain on the Chicago
aud Milwaukee boards Of trade ostensibly
for future delivery but without any real
intention or expectation on the part Of
either party to the contract that such grain
would actually be delivered. Large quanti-
ties of wheat and barley were formally
bought and sold with the fully understood
expectation and intention on the part of
both parties that they should merely wager
on the range of the market prices
On this evidence the supreme court re-
verses the decision OF lower court. In his
adverse opinion Judge Vanderburg holds
that contracts for the sale aud delivery of
grain or other comm )dities appointed to be
consummated at some future day are not per
so unlawful when the parties thereto in good
faith intend to perform them according to
their terms. But agreements in the form
of contracts merely designed to secure tie
payment of the difference between the
| stipulated price and the market price at q
future day and not intended to represent
actual transactions are in the nature Of
mere wagers on the future price. Therefore
they are void.
Whether this will have the desired effect
of restraining grain gambling or will sim
| ply stimulate the growth of litigation and
the development of iron-clad swearing re-
mains to be- seen.

No wrong in Pointing the News.


Last week William N. Tyler of the Rhine
beck Gazette, who had been indicted under
the New York law for criminal libel, was
virtually acquitted. Last August Charles
Van Steenburgh, Red Hook constable,
went to Rhinebeck one Sunday while peo-
pie were going TO church and arrested boy
named Edison on a charge of larceny.
Persons who saw the arrest told the editor
that Van Steenburgh was intoxicated and
treated the boy brutally, and made show
Of him along the street while he was hand
cuffed.
In its next issue the Gazette called Van
Steenburgh "a Red Hook tough, pa loafer,n
and other names.
After being out some time the jury asked
Judge Barnard if, in case they found the
editor guilty, they could fix tho amount of
fine. Judge Barnard replied in the negative,
and the jury then brought IN verdict of
guilty and recommended light fiue.
In sentencing him Judge Barnard said to
Editor Tyler: This officer came to Rhine
beck and made the arrest in a censu-able
manner. You printed the story. You did
nothing wrong. But the jury has found
you guilty, and l must punish you. l fine
you cents
But the dispatch that records this right
eous judicial decision does not state what
was done to punish the unworthy law Of
fcer who was guilty of the consurable con-
duct that was justly condemned.

Apparently China goes about her wa
preparations almost curiously as she pro
reeds in all othe- fairs Writing to a
Paris news syrdicat, uuder recent date q
correspondent dssc les these OMNIBUS pro-
ceedings of the strangely able Mongol who Is
at the head of them.
OF Viceroy Ii Hung Chang, whom Gen.
Grant pronounced the ablest OF the fou
| really great men whom be met In his
journey around the world, the writer states
that his present occupation is the compile
| ton Of a rail way from Tien-IsIn to Tong
shan. That is the extent of it according to
present plans. But the writer thinks thai
| every strategical reason indicates that the
| line should extend as far as Chang
Halkuan. Unlike Port Arthur that port
is not subject to the inconvenience of being
frozen over during the winter.
So the correspondent thinks that the
world in general and the Flowery Kingdom
10 particular is about to witness duel in
railway construction. Not il the friendly
rivalry of commerce, but for the pur poses
of war. 1t is to be feared, however, that
China will lose the race. All the plans are
drawn and ON paper. Everything is ready.
But unless foreign loan is made 1t is diff
cult to see how the object can be realized.
Should this railroad project fail every
thing indicates that China will probably be
unable to resist the strong rival who will at
some time attempt TO secure a naval
station of vast Importance in the Pacific
AMI to annex the peninsula of Corea.
China is in a very awkward situation. In
the interior she has the REVOLT to contend
with which threatens her vhrone and her
emperor. Abroad she Is confronted with
the European powers. One of these now
presents an immediate danger to the in
tegrity OF her territory.
Only yesterday morning the MORNING
NEWS dispatches told us that Premier Ii
Hung Chang had just dispatched the
European emissary of the Celestial empire
poste haste to Russia to vigorously protest
against the Instant enroachments of the
czars soldiers upon the Chinese Pameer
frontier in Central Asia Whether that
protest will avail anything remains to be
seen.
Notwithstanding thege apparently immi-
nent dangers Viceroy Chang appears to be
to appreciate the actual gravity OF the
situation so implicit is mis- confidence in the
assumed invlncibls strength of the Chinese
armies. Still the united forces of all Woo
Sung and Shanghai are said to number less
than 1000 men, and all the warships of the
empire are reported to be locked in Port
Arthur.
Whether this ost ensibly calm Indifference
to surrounding commotion is the result o:
an underes Innate of the gravity Of accu-
mulatiug dangers or the effect of a
knowledge of some secret source OF
streng q that inspires confidence is
not altogether clear. But the pres
emit outlook indicates that Premier
Chang will have need for all his Oriental
cunning and subtle diplomacy if he eventu-
ally manages to safely steer the Monaghan
ship of state through the dangerously
angry-looking breakers that now surround
It

At the recent annual meeting of the
Chicago Methodist ministers the Rev. r.
w. Bland read a paper entitled THE
Literary Revision of the Discipline" This
subject is one which has interested the
church for some time "Pick up the dis
cipline Of our church" the reverend gentle
man said, and you will blush with shame
at finding the most slovenly, barbarous,
outrageous inaccuracies and inelegancies of
composition. 1t does not possess even the
ordinary elements Of good writing. There is
not single meritorious feature in it. It
would be the labor of year for man with
the pen Of an Addison TO revise it. Take
the marriage services, for example, continued
Mr.. Bland. "There is passage in it which
is almost an insult 70 decency. In one
paragraph 1t calls upon the couple 10 make
it known If there is any physical impedi-
ment which would prevent their marriage
II is an insult. and TO think Of reading it at
a church wedding" All through the paper
Mr.. Bland was scathing In his denunciation
Of the discipline. As most u tue ministers
seemed 70 agree with the expressed opinion
Of the speaker the paper caused little dts
cussiOn After its reading IL was referred
b the conference delegates 10 take what
action they deemed proper. But IL is likely
10 arouse very warm discussion IN other
parts o. the country.

Kansas farmers have great confidence in
the moisture machine of Melbourne. Event
uaily they have signed q contract by which
Fraak Melbourne agrees TO produce crop
rains in Northwestern Kansas during June,
July and August. 1892 When meeting of
citizens was called and committee ap-
pointed to confer with Melbourne, the rain
maker stood by his first proposition to
furnish rain at 10 cents an acre. Hereafter
a series Of meetings will be held In the
various counties of the state for the purpose
of Awakening public interest. Melbourne
will also attempt to make similar contracts
with twenty counties in Colorado, claiming
that be can easily water the entire country
from one point. In Colorado the Irrigation
companies will fght the scheme. II will

Intelligence from various points in Russia
state that great numbers OF peasants are
focking into the towns from the country
districts, perishing from the want of food
At least IS, 900 have passed through Tuinien
alone, seeking food Many are falling by
the roadsides and dying in their tracks.
These wanderers have no fuel and the cold is
intense. Incendiarism and pillaging are
spreading. Destitute Jews expelled from
Kieff, Astrakhan, Moscow and Odessa are
swelling the ranks of the famished
thousands. Everywhere the local authori-
ties are paralyzed for the want of funds.
Therefore the organization of relief COM
mittees for the distribution Of corn to the
sufferers has been discontinued. But the
assessment of taxes goes right on. Hence
nihilism.
