4 DISCREPANCY THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED.

TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
sir: | have the honor, as chairman Of the Execu-
tive Committee Il the National Celebration OF Column
bus Day, TO call Your attention to n peculiar dis
crepancy between two Congressional acts, which
ought to be remedied once, or else the American
people will be involved In n TREMENDOUS absurdity.
The Act Of Congress OF April %. 800 named the
10th OF October as the date for the dedication Of the
Worlds Exposition grounds, In Chicago.
The movement for popular celebration OF Column
bus Day in every locality In America, to be led by
the public schools, has now received Congressional
recognition and the President has been authorized,
by Joint resolution, TO proclaim a general holiday.
commcmora,ing the 40Jth anniversary OF the
discovery of America. on the elst day Of october,
1892 and recommending 10 the people the observance
in all their localities of this anniversary by public
demonstrations and by suitable exercises In their
schools and other places Of assembly This Joint
resolution has received the Presidents signature.
II was the idea Of The origators and friends OF the
movement for this popular celebration that the Chicago
dedication should be the centre Of Il mighty popular
demonstration from Maine to California TINT the
people should remember what Is going In Chicago,
and that tho Federal Observance in Chicago should
consider Itself the chief expression OF the popular
sentiment In this way the Chicago Exposition
would receive Il great advantage; for popular aten-
ton would be simultaneously directed TO IT'S naugu.
ration. and also the popular demonstration would DO
was going on In Chicago at the same time
But now all that Is changed. We are going t. have
n two-headed celebration. Chicago Is going 10 shoot
her guns on the 18th Tho people are going to
assemble In their localities all over the United States
ard celebrate the 21st. Thus Chicago Will lose the
advantage Of being in tcnch with the popular move
mcni and the populnr movement Will lose the spirit
CT being simultaneous with tho Federal Observance.
Moreover and this Is worse, we are Involved In
comical prcdlcamen,. America will have TO r,e and
explain 10 Itself and T. the worh how II comes to be
making two anniversaries Of event only one
date Is right We Will have TO tell the world that
VIC didn't know that October IL was the wrong
date until after Ind invited the ROYALTIES If
Europe 10 present that date. Then some
smart fellow discovered that October 81 was tho
correct date and the OF the people are told by
the President 10 observe the proper day. But the
royalties being invited, can't admit 10 them that
We didn't look up the proper date with enough care
and 30 We Will have TO let them come en-, and have

HOW FARMERS GAIN on A "BULL7 MARKET.
TO tho Editor of The Tri bune.
cir In reading over the report OF Senator Wash
burns speech on the AntI-Option bill. see that IN
answcr TO a question By Senator Henderson as to
whether farmers got the benefit of rise In prices when
the bulls In possession Of the market. he
piled In the negative, saying that before the farmer
could avail himself Of the rise in prices and get his
grain to market. the price would have slumped lower
than before. Now. this mny be and probably IS the
case VIXEN certain month has been cornercd and
the rise takes place IN the last two or three DAYS u
the month; but In m ordinary "bun' market the
farmer gets every advantage Of the rise in prices. as
the receiving houses in each market send out bids
each night based en- the closing price that night good
I'LL noon the next day and for any delivery that suits
the seller within the next two three months and
this i where the advantage 10 the farmer comes In.
Al present he receives bid up to the market each
night for any delivery within a month or two. and
can suit himself as TO what delivery he will sell for
Do away With the system Of trading in futures and
he will then have 10 ship his wheat on consignment
to some market where In the Absence Of export de
mand he will have to take the price which the liber
