BUSINESS MODERATE
Along the Wholesale Mercantile Line-The
Intense Interest in the Coming Election
Restricting Trade More or Less-very
Little Change in the Temper of the
Markets.
FRIDAY. Nov. 4.

friday, NOV. 4.
No change of consequence was reported
or observed in the wholesale mercantile
markets to-day. The movement was mod
crate on all accounts and business seemed
to be suffering more or less in consequence of
the intense interest prevalent in the Presi-
dental campaign. Betting was again the order
of the day, and the wagers made covered
almost everything from box OF tobies up
to $500 bill, the latter being placed even on
the general result. As a rule prices were
unchanged and noteworthy features
were lacking, which condition of
affairs is expected to prevail
until after the election. Sugar was reported
a little firmer at primary points, however,
and dried fruits were quoted stronger and
more active. Oats anc hay continue to show
an improving tendency; wheat. corn, flour
and iced were easy; butter, cheese and eggs
were steady to firm; vegetables were weak;
hog products were heavy; game was more
abundant and fruits were steady.

The Minds tys.erious Workings.

In the Marchioness of Dufferin's
Canadian Journal there is an account
of one of those condolences" which
DR.. Weatherly is at much pains to ex-
plain away: You remember that told
you that a poor man servant of ours
was drowned at the Mingan. As we
knew nothing about his people we
were unable to communicate the news
of his death to them, so ID. ordered any
letters that might arrive for him to be
brought to himself. The first of these
which we have just received-was
from a servant girl to whom he was at
tached at Ottawa, and was dated exact
ly seven days after the accident. In it
she said: 81 have been in my new
place week and like it very much,
but had such dreadful dream on the
day of my arrival. l dreamt that you
and NOVEL; were upset in boat to-
gether, but you were drowned" As
the spot is in an uninhabit region on
the coast of Labrador, more than five
hundred miles from Ottawa, without
either telegraph or posts, it was impos-
sible that she should have received the
news of her lovers death when thus Let

BASIS OF REPRESENTATION.
Some Suggestions That May Prevent AM
misunderstanding.

Some Suggestions That May Prevent ANY
misunderstanding.
Our attention having been called to a
list of delegates from the F. A. and l. o.
and F. NJ. B. A, of Illinois, to the Feb
ruary conference, as published in the
Monitor of January 90, where list of
thirty-seven is given, and fearing
there might be some misunderstanding
that would result in disappointment
when, upon arrival, they find that
their thirty-seven delegates will only
be entitled to seven or eight votes, we
call attention to the basis agreed upon
by the committee of confederation, viz:
Resolved, That representation in the conven-
ton shall be governed by the following rules:
/. Each of the following organizations shall be
entitled to twenty-five votes as an organization
the National F. A and l. u; the National
Farmers Alliances; the Colored F. n. A. and
Cooperative Union; the F. NJ. B. A; the K. OF
L.; the National Citizens Alliance; the Nation.
al Citizens Industrial Alliance; the Patrons of
Husbandry; the National P. of l., and such
other organizations as may be accepted and in
dorsed by the executive committee prior to the
first day of February
2 Each of the above organizations acting
with the confederation shall be entitled to an
additional vote for each 10000 voting members
and major fraction part thereof.
The above basis is plain and no mis-
takes ought to arise. The secretaries
of each of the national bodies should,
and probably will, send an Off cial state
ment, with the chairman of the delega-
ton of twenty-five at large, chosen by
their body, showing the actual mum Der
of paid up male members in their order,
as reported to the national secretary
for the year 1891, and that will undoubt-
edly be used by the credential commit
tee to decide upon the eligibility of
delegates On that basis state with
5000 paid up male members would be
entitled to As of vote and with SO, 900,
$40 votes. Let us not make any mis-
takes that will bring disappointment
or cause dissatisfaction Nonconform.

of those lads" So he invited them to
dine with HIM, talked matters over
frankly, and made stout friend of
each one of them. He took advantage
of the evil to see the good, and bring
out the best. A nicer lot of lads
the judge publicly disgraced them,

at their worst before the world, and
very likely have gone on doing their
worst. do not believe in punishment
as punishment. When it will not stand
some fair chance to reform or help a
boy or an adult it is false and wicked
affair. Our jails are running US. Yet
there were people who wanted those
lads disgraced and punished, and not
helped. A criminal is a branded out

Our children are the worse for 1t. The
greatest idiocy in the world is our sys-
tenn of Furnishing offenders against So
ciety. No mother can consider it for a
moment without adherence. Our boys
may at any time commit an indiscre-
ton or a crime from which love and
patience may save them; but shut up
even for day with criminals, they are
started on downward career Our
only mission is to save, and to be able
to save we must cultivate the power to
see the good there is in those about u.s.

Dear old Betty Rawson! What lesson
she taught me in my childhood. Her
husband was a drunken vagabond; and
she was slowly wasting with mortal
disease. 1t was an extreme case, such
as you and will hardly be called to du-
plicate in our own lives She made the
best of everything, and you could easily
have mistaken her for millionaire.
Whistle to keep your courage up,
boys, was the advice given to lads sent

The st. Louis Conference.

No assemblage of citizens, perhaps in
the history of this country, has ever
excited such deep and universal inter-
est as the one which will convene in
the city of St Louis on the 22d inst.
The great industrial elements will there
be represented. They are to meet and
consult together for the common good.
The men who 60 there will be sent to
represent the sentiments of their re-
spective constituencies. They will not
go there to carry out their own pecu-
liar and individual views. They are
not to work in the interest of any par
ticular political party. They are to do
the very best thing for the relief and
welfare of the people who sent them
there. We regret to see some DISPOSE
ton in certain quarters to pack that
body in the interest of the democratic
party. We would quietly give out a
friendly note of warning-if any man
goes to that conference and assumes to
drive his people into false position he
will be repudiated, as he should be, by
his people. Let the people be watch
full, firm and faithful and they will tri-
