The Chicago Tribune Says that the
Wheat Market Has Been
Cornered.
J. D.. Rockefeller, John T. North and
John ". Mackay are the
Manipulators.
The Sales on the Chicago Market
Exceed Actual Supply by 49,
600 1000 Bushels.
Is tn, Wheat Market Cornered:

1S th3 wheat market COrnered?
CHICAGO, Feb. 18.-The Tribune says
that there are strong indications that the
wheat market is being manipulated, and
intimates that J. D. Rockefeller, of the
Standard Oil company; John F. North
"the Nitrate King" and John w. Mac
kay, the bonanza millionaire, are back
of it. The paper claims that the sales of
wheat on the Chicago board of trade
alone aggregate 70,0O0,0N to 8O,OOO,OOO,
whereas there are less than 100000
bushels of actual wheat in the west, leav-
ing about 100000 bushels which are
really wind" sales and must be covered
at whatever price the market touches.
But this is not all. Similar short sales
have been made in all of the principal
markets of this country and Liverpool.
1t is asserted that the alleged combi-
nation of multi milIionaires have sent
agents abroad and secured accurate in
formation as to the real shortage in the
crop, and as early as the middle of De-
cember began to quietly pick up all of
the wheat offered, working through COM
paratively unknown brokers and that
they thus, without attracting attention,
secured absolute control of the market.
Whether or not the price will be put to
a high figure is known only to the
cliuue.

A Monetary Conference.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.-A meeting
looking to a monetary conference will be
held at Secretary Fosters residence in
this city, Monday morning. Secretary
Foster, Senator Teller, Senator Aldrich
and perhaps other prominent public
men, representing both sides of the sill
yer question, will attend. 1t was in
tended to hold a meeting at the treasury
department this morning, but Senator
Teller has gone to Bethlehem, Pa, with
other congressman to inspect the iron
works there, and Senator Aldrlch is at
his home in Rhode Island. The pur-
pose of the conference is to effect a com
promise by which the administration
will lend it's efforts to calling ar inter.
national monetary conference, if the
republican senators who favor the free
coinage idea will agree to prevent the
passage of free coinage bill this season.
Silver Legislation.
WASHINGTON. Feb. ia new and
important development in the silver
question has just come to the surface,
and it may solve the problem that al
present is causing considerable anxiety
in the Democratic camp. It is known
that the. committee on rules will report
a resolution setting apart a certain day
for the consideration of the Bland bill,
Speaker Crisp having given assurance
to the silver men that such action would
be taken when Representative Catch
ings returned from Boston. When this
resolution is submitted to the house
Representative Bynum will move tt
amend it by substituting some day next
session. He is a friend of silver. but
does not believe that the demand fol
free coinage is sufficiently pressing now
to warrant haZarding a division in thu
party.
Keep the Tariff Paramount.
There is general opinion among thu
Democrats who want to see the tariff is
sue kept paramount until after thu
presidential election, that such a resolu
ton can be passed by the combined
votes Of the Democratic and Republican
opponents of silver in conjunction with
the votes Of those of those Democrat
who believe that postponement is tn
proper policy. At any rate the effort i
to be made. In the meantime the pro
posed joint caucus is off, and no actor
is likely to be taken on the silver bill il
the house for sometime. Assurance
have been given these anti-silver me-
that they will be afforded sufficient tim
to call the caucu before the considera
ton Of tho measure is begun. A pool o
the senate is said to have been made
with the showing that a free silver bill
cannot pass that body. TIL

DISCIPLINE NEEDED.

We wonder what Mr.. GEORGE F. GIBBs
and those associates with him in the con
spiracy to carry the Logan election by
falsely representing to The people that it
was the desire Of the church authorities
that the city give Republican majority,
think of the emphatic rebuke which the
first presidency administered in the de-
claration over their signatures published
in yesterday mornings HERALD! We also
wonder what these over jealous Repu bill
cans think of the attitude in which they
are placed by the concluding paragraph of
the leading editorial in last evenings issue
Of the NelcS! The official newspaper organ
of the church says
The church has no dlctation or persuasion
for its members as 10 which party they shall
join or support. If any one intimates to the
contrary, he is q deceiver. If any one prctsnds
that the church l, aders desire that members
shall be in condition TO be swayed TO one side
or the other as exigencies may demand he is
misrepresenting those leaders and intoxicating
most dangerous and delusjve doctrine. Honor,
sincerity, truth and righteousness are es-
senuals in our religion, and falsehood in
politics is falsehood IN faith alike detestable
to GOD and TO all honest men
1t seems to US that in the light of known
facts and developments growing out of the
Logan election there are some men who
might be subjected to pretty severe disci
pine with great benefit to the church and
much good to the community.

HOME RULE.

or course everybody read the special
dispatch from Washington in yesterdays
HERALD in reference to the Home Rule
bill. The House committee has practi-
cally concluded its consideration of the
bill and in all probability viii report it to
the House next week. We learn that it
is not thought there viii be minority re-
port against the bill, as even the Republi
can members Of the committee, with per-
haps one or two exceptions, think favor
ably OF the measure, as offering the best
and speediest solution of the problem. The
understanding also is that there will be
little if any opposition on the floor of the
House, the Democratic majority being so
large that if there are airy members op-
posed to the bill they feel that their an
tagonism would be in vain. 1t is now
believed that the bill as amended will be
promptly passed ny the House and sent TO
the Senate, where it will at once be substi-
tuted for the Senate bill and put in line of
passage. the expectation being that it will
reach the President within the next few
weeks.
Thus, the outlook is that Utah will begin
the year with Home Rule, her own laws
being administered by officials selected by
the people to whom those officials viii be
directly responsible. 1t will be glorious
day for this territory when the public ser
wants from governor down will be men
chosen by the voters, and that day Will soon
thereafter be followed by another even
more glorious, the day when statehood
shall be proclaimed and Utah be admitted

FOR SHAME!

The decent people of Salt Lake, who have
q regard for the courtesies and proprieties,
hung their heads in shame yesterday morn
ing when they read the vicious assault in
our down street contemporary upon Presi-
dent ELIOT, of Harvard university. It has
been rare indeed that a newspaper has SO
prOstituted itself, so abused the honorable
profession of journalism; seldom have hate
and prejudice and venom been permitted to
outrage decency and override the common
rules Of hospitality. If the Tribune re-
presented the sentiment OF the community,
what depraved and barbarous people this
would be, and how essential would be the
coming among us Of many suoh men as
Prof. ELIOT to teach US something of
civilization and give US an insight into the
proprieties, the decencies and the refine
ments Of society in the nineteenth century.
Fortunately our contemporary speaks for
nothing beyond its vulgar self, voicing
only its innate hate and void1ng only its
own venom.
There are few men in the United States,
or in the world, for that matter, who stand
higher in the noble profession which he
follows, than the head of one of Americas
foremost educational institutions Presi-
dent ELIOT came here for observation and
to increase his knowledge, and we do not
doubt that he expected to be shown the re-
spect and consideration which would be
cheerfully accorded him in any other part
Of the civilized globe; out because he did
not, without thought or consideration, fill
himself with the preiudices and hates and
viciousness of soul-soured editor, be is
| brutslly assailed as "a most profound
crank" as having every little common
sense,n lessen tally narrow and oftentimes
contemptible;" as possessing "a spirit of
/ toadyism," undertaking ito lecture to bet
ter men and women shan either ne or any
Of his ancestors are;" he is told that she
simply makes an egregious idiot of him
self;n that "the mistake was made when
he was given an education at ALI" that he
is an educated idiot" ''simply intoler-
able" and is advised "to go back to Har.
ward and unload his platitudes upon the
students there" and so on.
President ELIOT is too broad minded, toe
clear-headed, and in the few hours that he
has been within the borders of Utah ba.
seen too much to think for moment thai
the Tribune voices the opinions, or repre-
sents the sentiments, civilization or culture
Of this community. ae will necessarily
regard the TRADE as a remarkable exhibi.
ton Of brutality and IS an illustration OF
the depths of depravity to which a mans
Iprejudices and hates can sink him. And a.
the distinguished visitor will certainly take
this charitable and intelligent view of tht
assault and his assailant, the decent peopl,
of Salt Lake need not feel that they have
been outraged and disgraced by this viciou.
and uncalled for attack upon guest.
