CHICAGO, Dec. 20.-There was tre-
mendous selling OF corn to-day. The Offer
lngs same in, in the main, from the larger
commission houses and parties having
country constituents. The market opened
active at S0Ao under the final quotations
OF yesterday. the receipts overru ming the
estimates, 612 cars coming in. Under free
offerings the market sold off ho more, q
large line supposed to have been taken on
yesterday by q prominent professional
coming ont on the break. At Acc for May
there was heavy buying, the demand ut
that figure being very urgent. and the mar
ker rallied hc, became less active and
steady. and closed with lf0*c loss. The
Illinois State crop report was u stimulat-
ing factor. but was off SET by the heavy
selling pressure at the start.
The increase of 1866 900 bushels was the
chief support for wheat at the opening. but
there was free liquidation and very little
outside trade. Domestic markets were all
heavy and cables lower. which resulted in
q gradual decline. The English visible
1.425.O00 bushels. Corn was exceedingly
weak, and its decline helped TO depress
wheat. The rally toward the close was
largely duo to the fact that the exports
from the four principal Atlantic ports were
liberal. amounting In wheat and -four to
about &c. 600 bushels. After the opening,
which was about the same price as the
closing of yesterday. the market advanced

of Bowers's great congressional ef-
forts that it is the leading news

Times might also take valuable lesson
from the HERALD about the way in
which partisan newspaper ought to
treat the distinguished men OF its party.
Had it been wise and possessed modi-

have viciously antagonized Mr.. Harri-

and who seems to have a dead cinch on
the Republican nomination. There is
great difference betw cen having choice

able to grasp this subtle distinction but
most people can. The gentleman who

THE ANGELES HERALD: FRIDAY APRIL

agreement with the water company
they are to receive a years notice Of the
city's desire to abrogate their lease.
this notice to be given in a peculiar
way. The preliminary notice was given
six months ago. This was done by the
city attorney, as per direction of the
council, and to make this notice valid
second one was to be given after The ex-
piration of six months. These have
only few days to run. 1t was for the
purpose of being authorized to give
this second notice that Mr.. Mcfarland
procured the calling of the special
meeting. As will be seen elsewhere. it
came to naught, the council adjourning
without taking any action. The effect
of this failure to act is to extend the
lease OF the Citizens company for an
other year. 1t is understood that it's
officials have promised number of ma
terial Improvements in the hill water
system in consideration of the councils
refraining from abrogating the lease,
such as providing that the hill cat III
ments shall not enter the reservoir. a
better clarifying system, etc. The con-
tract, if not Cancelled, runs till 1898.

HUMAN BONDAGE.
A PICTURE OF THE TREATMENT OF
AUSTRALIAN BLACKS.
The Men Shot Down and the Women
Outraged Slavery In its
Worst Form.

EDITORS HERALD Owing to the mis-
leading trendings of many English writ
ers concerning the institution of slavery
az it existed throughout our southern
states up to 1860, l now beg leave, as a
simple comparison between American
and English character, to call public at
tention to the treatment to which the
aboriginals of the Australian colonies
have been and are still subjected by
British adventures, and more especially
so by the squattlng elements throughout
the northwestern sections Of Australia.
That there may be no shade of doubt
about this subject, shall allude only to
atrocities which came under my personal
observation and which, to say the least,
outrage our common humanity,
Therefore, Notwithstanding all opin.
ions to the contrary, l assert that, even
up to this date, throughout extreme
Northern Queensland and Western Aus
tralia, the black people are shot down
like wild beasts and are subjected to
other shades of brutal treatment with
out the slightest justification there
for. On the cattle stations through
out the Kimberley division all
black men found within their
boundaries are shot down-cruelly MUIR
dered OF course, such crimes are VIC.
lations of law; but, strange as it may
seem. Notwithstanding the government
officials are in possession of all the facts,
they stupidity wink, wink. wink, for Gs
are involved. Who, therefore, would be
held responsible? Again, in satanic op.
position to such summary tactics, the
suuatters throughout the northwest and
Gascoyne districts, round in the blacks
for station hands; in fact, these aborig-
inals are kidnapped by the squattere,
who rush the black camps at certain
periods with armed bodies. Necessarily
husbands are separated from their wives
and children from parents! AS nothing
could be more debasing than the modes
of living at these sheep stations, the
morals of these station people are neces-
sarily the lowest OF the low, and, there
fore, the treatment to which these poor,
outraged blacks are reduced is most re-
voting. Fancy black women herding
sheep in nude condition, and in the
heat of the sun ranging from 100 de-
grees to $50 degrees, without the most
distant shade OF a garment. Their food
is cast at them, as if they were dogs and
not human beings then, for some little
offense, they are fogged with whips. l
regret to say that slept within twenty
feet Of such a scene. 1t WAS at mid
night, when everybody was supposed
to be asleep, the equatter whipped a
poor, outraged black woman in beast.
ly manner, simply because he was jeal-
ous OF his Chinese cook. No punish
ment should be too severe for such an
English monster.
AS the great majority Of the "Chris-
tian people" of the colonies are tarred
with the same brush, these hideous out
RACES against the enlightenment of this
age will continue until the aboriginals
shall have entirely passed from that
sunny land Of dark deeds.

THERE has never been anything so
pitiable in American politics as the
attempt made by Mr.. Harrison to strad
die the silver question by his interna-
tional conference fake. In order to
cover his anti.silver attitude with a
pretense that he is not opposed to the
white metal, he has used his great Office
to foist upon the public as bald and de-
ceptive an electioneering trick as ever
was played by ward politician or
manipulating party boss. He knows
that the proposition of his agents to
hold conference has met with con-
temptuous derision from the controlling
men of Great Britain, and that
without the cooperation of that country
no conference can be had. Yet he is
now playing that marked-card game
with the gall Of an accomplished and un-
scrupulous blackleg. By this disreputa-
BILE deception he is furnishing bogus
ammunition to be used during the cam
paign to mislead the people of the
silver states. He is the first American
president to descend to low.down trick
cry in order to catch votes. If the silver
men in congress fail to roast him for his
Cheap-John tactics they are not the
men we believe them to be.
