Now that the question of option deal
ing has been taken up by congress, with
strong probability that the laws will
be so amended as to cut it off or so re-
strict the operations of the gamblers as
to remove the harmful effects of the
practice upon the agricultural interests
of the country, some of the Chicago
Board Of Trade operators whose "busi-
ness" would be seriously affected by such
legislation, are striving very hard to
hedge the committee of the senate that
has the question under consideration, to
the extent of preventing any sweeping
legislation as is demanded by honest,
fair dealing and the best interest of pro-
ducers and consumers alike. These in
terested defendants are willing that the
laws NAV be amended in certain particu-
lars, but they want to be given the privi-
lege of framing the law and amend
ments. There would be just as much
reason in a criminal on trial before
court of justice being permitted to write
the verdict of the jury on his case. 1t
ought not to be done.

THE MEMPHIS AFFAIR.

The Memphis tragedy has attracted
widespread comment and concern. AT a
boarding school Alice Mitchell became a
fast friend of her roommate, Freda Ward,
and the two young women, to use the pat
expression of the period, became chums
Later Alice MitcheIi's love took a wilder
form and finally ripened into an insane
desire to marry the other woman. This
perversity of sex became aggravated to
that end that the enraptured girl burned
to be with her sweetheart constantly. This
of course could not be, and as Alice
Mitchell frequently declared her ultimate
purpose OF wedding her bethrothed. for
she claimed the existence of plighted
troth, a discreet relative very properly
broke up the intimacy between the girls
and forbade the visits of Alice Mitchell
The enlargement and forced separation
intensified the passions of the strangely
possessed girl and she waited her oppor-
tunity and cut her friends throat from
ear to ear.
There are three views to be taken of it.
Insanity. revenge for the slight in being
refused admittance to the house of her
friend, and a third, which is being avidi-
ously seizedupon and passed from lip to
lip and yiciously limited AZ in newspapers
with prurient gulosity that is positively
shameful.

After wasting more than a month of
time-that ought to have been esteemed
valuable, and which might have been
made so had the dominant party been
inspired by a desire to conserve the best
interests of the country instead of some
questionable party advantage-the con-
gress has finally agreed upon code of
rules for the government of that body.
The new rulas, though not what they
should be TO secure the best results in
matters of legislating for the public well
fare, are said to be great improvement
upon the code of the Fiftieth congress.
Much of the spirit of reform that char
acterized the rules and proceedings of
the tifty-tirst congress has been adopted
and incorporated III the new, though Of
course clothed in different verbiage.

There was held, in Atchison, last
week fair for the purpose of raising
funds to aid in defraying the expenses
of the department encampment of the
G. A. r. that is to be held in that city
next week, and from the generous pat
ronage accorded the fair by the good
people of Atchison and vicinity it is safe
to say there will be no lack of interest
and hearty cooperation on their part to
render the encampment a complete and
grand success. The gross receipts for
the fair was $1,000, which, as a supple
ment to the fund raised by subscription
and otherwise and the further open
hospitality that will be extended the
attendants upon the encampment, can
not fail to make the occasion a memoir
able one for its completeness in every
detail. The attendance promises to be
large.

RAILROAD BUILDING FOR 'e2.

From the reports that come in from
the southwest, railway building has
taken sudden start in New Mexico.
The probability of an extension of the
Santa Re Southern to Albuquerque by
way of Cerrillos and San Pedro has
stirred up the Atchison. Topeka & Santa
Fe and that company has already COM
menced work on branch from ITS main
line at Cerrillos out to the coal fields and
San Pedro. Engineers have been put to
work on the proposed extension Of the
Carthage branch of that system to White
Oaks and another corps of surveyors
have been sent to Socorro to run a line
for the extension of the Magdalena
branch toward the Beach range. En-
couraging reports are also received in
work on the line from Albuquerque to
the northwest.
Oklahoma and the territory also have
good promise of large extensions of rail
way lines this year. The Rock Island
already has large force at work on its
main line south from Minco, which will
be pushed on to direct gulf connection
before there is halt in construction;
while this year will without doubt, wit
ness the construction of a good mileage
of east and west lines through that
country.
Everything now indicates that very
lively times are at hand in railway cir.
Giles and that the present year will wit
ness more building than has been done
for ten years.

Congress recently appropriated two
million dollars for the construction of a
harbor of safety at Ludington formerly
Marquette) Michigan. Speaking of this
harbor in Its last weeks issue, the Lud-
ington Record among other things said;
Fourteen years ago next fall the barge
Rutter was stranded north of this harbor
and half hundred men who went on
board to help trim the cargo came very
near losing their lives. The commander
of the Rutter st that time is now the
