TIE NEW YORK ExonANaE
Presents Its Protest Against the Pro-
posed AEti-Option Legislation I'm Con-
rrasa

Presents Its Protest Against the Pro-
posed AEti-OptiOn Legislation I'm Con-
gress.
WASHINGTON, d. c., February a.
The views of the New York Produce
Exchange in regard to the proposed
legislation against the sale Of options
were presented to the House Committee
on Agriculture to-day by Mr.. Henry B.
Nieland, who read the protest Of the
Exchange against the passage of the
bill.
The protest states that the Exchange
heartily approves of the sections OF the
measures defining options. The evils
arising from the trading in options as
there defined were well known, and any
legislation which would repress such
practice would be welcome. But the
bill In section, proposed TO restrict
trading in futures, which was a very
different form OF trading, and which In
cluded contracts which were continu-
ally used by all classes Of merchants
and dealers and bankers who were deal
ing in the products mentioned in sec
tion 3, on a perfectly legitimate way.
In all the future contracts Of the EX-
change the actual delivery of the article
sold was provided for, and that was the
basis on which the contract rested. The
seller was obliged 10 deliver and tbs
buyer 10 take delivery OF the product
when the time named in the contract
came. ANY interference by legislation
with the laws governing trade should
only be made when gross abuses sought
rectifcation. The laws that have been
successful In governing trade had been
the outgrowth of many trials and some
failures. Such laws grew with trade
customs and such customs had never
been the resuIt'Of legislation.
The business done in futures was
piece OF machinery for moving the pro-
ducts Of the country as far superior TO
the old methods of doing the same as
railroads are ahead Of wagons or elava-
tors Of balf-buShel measures. Fifty
years ago the radius Of markets was
much smaller.
Farmers In q district where crops
were abundant took low prices for their
produce while their neighbOrS within
perhaps 200 miles In district OF poor
harvest received much higher
prices. The remedy proposed by the
bill for an Legitimate mode Of trading
On futures would involve In the ruin OF
the entire system under which the
legitimate business Of the various eX-
changes was prosecuted. II was as
serted by some shat dealing in futures
was always disastrous to the producer,
but as much might be said in the OPP
posite direction; TO market his own pro-
duct, and that alone would be the gain
by Selling those opportunities that now
and again occurred under this system.
BY the system Of dealing in futures,
benefits were conferred upon the farm
er, the hog packer, the miller, the mer-
chant and capitalist. The unsettlement
OF our commercial relations with other
countries must be disastrous 70 all con-
cerned in them, and 10 none more than
10 the farmer, whose skill and labor
produces a livelihood for himself and
those dependent on him, and a vast adj
dition to the wealth Of the nation Of
which he is a citizen.

The Farmers' Alliance and the Cordage
Trust Alleged to BIO Working Together
in Harmony.
CHICAGO, February 9.-The Inter
Ocean will publish tomorrow two col
umn expose of scheme whereby the
National Cordage Trust, through con-
nivance with number Of leading ALI
ance officials, is attempting to get con-
troll of not only all the present Alliance
stores in the country, but four thousand
additional ones that the Trust proposes
starting. Statements are made by ID.
NJ. Fulwiler, State Business Agent for
the Alliance in Illinois; +. E. Whipple,
of the Whipple Harrow Company, st.
Johns, Michigan, and VIM. Deering &
Sons, Chicago, that places certain ALI
anee leaders in compromising position.
The part Of the scheme that has APP
pealed so powerfully to the Alliance
agents is the commission of one-half OF
one per cent. allowed to each State
agent for all the goods sold in his terri
tory. 1t is claimed that the National
Union Company are preparing to cap
ture the st. Louis conference on the
twenty-second, and get an endorsement.
This will be strongly opposed by many
Alliance men and some Of the strongest
papers in the organization, which the
National Union people could not con-
troll. A apecial paper from Dun's agency
is published, showing that on January
2Sth, 1891, the company had not made
satisfactory showing. Il. Ii. Batch,
the President, is charged with being a
former lobbyist for the National Cord
age Company at Washington.

Canine Sagacity.

The smartest dog story yet record
ed comes from the south side.
Farmer Leftwich, whom everybody
knows as the Alliance secretary and
good, honest gentleman, has dog of
the shepherd and water spaniel cross
which he thinks great deal of. The
animal is female and brought her
first litter of pups last summer. Mr.,
Leftwich picked out the females of
the young family after they were
several days old and drowned them
in the creek near by. The mother
observed his action and appeared re-
conciled. Last week she had a sec
ond litter Of eleven pups, five of the
number being females. After they
we've two days old, the mother picked
out the five females, taking them one
at time and soused them into the
creek, and then wagged her tail with
satisfaction, as il soliciting demon.
strations of approval on the part Of
her master.

CONVICTED THE COURT.
A California Jury Finds the Judge Guilty
of Contempt of Court,

Especial Correspondence

| lSpSClaAl lNorfGSIlOnueuCS.l
AUBURN, Cal, April s3. The Califor-
MIA jury and the California judge have
not stopped their good work of doing
ludicrous things for the rest of the world
to laugh at The finding of an Auburn
jury is one of their latest feats of alb
surdity.
The Southern Pacific company, hav-
ing been much pestered by brake beam
tourists, got law passed by the legis-
lature making it a criminal offense to
steal transportation ON railroad car.
The first arrest was made in this town
when brakeman discovered a hungry
and dirty tramp coiled up on the brake
beam, where he had ridden across the
mountains. The tramp was tried before
jury on the charge of having stolen a
ride on railroad car, and the jury
after due deliberation returned YER
dict of not guilty because the stolen
article was not found in his possession.
There is one judge in this country who
has the reputation of making the juries
under him work very hard. He is ex-
tremely severe upon them, and no man
will serve a second time on jury under
Judge -- if he can possibly help it.
He was holding court in country
school house and the jury, who were all
farmers, began to be very restive. But
there was not much prospect of their be-
ing allowed to go home for some time
unless they took matters into their own
hands. The judges instructions upon
the case then under consideration had
been plainly for a verdict of guilty.
But without deliberation they abruptly
returned a verdict of not guilty, and
added that they had found the Judge
guilty of contempt of court and SEN
fenced him to be confined in the school
house for three weeks. And then they
made rush for the door, locked it and
fled, leaving the court to climb out at
the window as best it could.
In another mountain town not far
from here there is a lawyer who is very
unpopular with both bench and bar on
account Of his domineering and quarrel
some disposition He is locally famous
for his unusual faculty of browbeating
witnesses into saying things they don't
intend to say and badgering them into
tempers and Inconsistencies. One day
he had in hand big and muscular wit
ness, upon whom he was practicing his
usual methods.
Suddenly the witness stopped, deliber-
ately took off his coat, squared off and
began giving the browbeating lawyer a
tremendous licking The sheriff inter
fered, and after few minutes order
was restored.
The judge, white haired and usually
mild hammered old gentleman, was pur-
pie with anger. Shaking his fist at the
sheriff, he shouted;
1.-THE next time, sir, that you inter-
fere when anybody is licking that man
I'll fine you for contempt of courtl'

HARTMAN, Tenn, April %. - East
Tennessee is rich in places of historical
interest, and hundreds of tourists from
northern states make pilgrimages to
them. Elizabethton, in the Watanga
valley, is one of the most interesting 10
calities in the state. 1t is an old town,
started in 1897. Near the village stands
the modest home of Andrew johnson,
and an old sycamore tree is pointed cut
to visitors to the town, under which the
first court ever held in the state was
held. N. G. Taylor and Landon G..
Haynes were born here.
There is an incident connected with
Andrew Johnson's death that has never
been printed. In front of his old house
runs the Watanga river. The water is
swift and the ford deep and dangerous.
A man was taking drove of cattle
across and Mr., johnson, who stood in
his doorway watching them, noticed
that some of the cattle were getting into
very deep water and were in danger of
drowning. He became somewhat ex-
cited by his efforts to attract the drivers
attention, and his old neighbors say
that the exertion and excitement brought
on the stroke Of apoplexy that caused
his death.
Just above the village on Doe river
are the ruins of an iron furnace once
owned and operated by Parson Brown
lows in-law-O. Bryan. A large
tree is now growing up through the old
stack. Elizabethton used to be a tough
town, but new generation has arisen
and there has been a marked improve
ment. Local option was adopted and
works well.
Every reader of war history, and those
who remember the stirring events Of
that period will recall the trials and
dangers through which the loyal men of
east Tennessee passed. Near the village
of Elizabethton lives one of the bravest
and truest of those patriots-Dan Ellis.
He is said to have killed more Confed-
crates with his own hand during the
war than any other one man. For more

mountains, often in sight of his own
home, and yet in all that time he dared
not sleep under his own roof. Hepiloted
over 5000 loyalists TO the Union lines
during the war, and was such disturb
ing element to the Confederates that
they made standing offer of $1,000 for
him, dead or alive. Dan is still hearty
and vigorous, and talks about his thrill
ing adventures very Interestingly. Just
below the village is Sycamore shoals,
where the gallant Sewer and his band
of loyal men rendezvoused before they
started to Kings mountain.

Convention. The ten wards in the
city OF Knoxville are reported as
favoring Cleveland almost to man.
The Nashville papers, referring to
the work of the mob there Saturday,
say that everything is quiet and that
no more trouble is anticipated. The
mob did all it started out to do,
and there is, as natural conse-
quence, no furtherir necessity for
