Dishonest EmnlOycs.

The Terre Hautc Express says that tho
Vandalia railway company, which has
always been marked by its liberality to
employees, has discovered that II is being
systematically plundered, and that 1t has
recalled all free passes on the Logans-
port division. Investigation showed
that instead Of riding On the passcs,
some OF the employees sold them wher-
ever a market could be found. The
VandaIia also discovered that another OF
its privileges was abused. Employees
have been permitted TO lay in coal al
half rates, and in this way their winter
supplies were obtained al less figures
than otherwise ruled. Since May the
employees have ordered over 400 loads oil
coal from the mining districts, and in
vestigation devclores that 240 car loadl
we're sold to outsiders. Men who were
not married took advantage OF the chcaT
rate TO supply their friends; one EN-
ploye ordering five car loads for tricnd
lin no way connected with the road
This privilege has aIso been taken away

Mr.. Grant was so amazed that he al
once became very wide awake. He pro-
ceeded to indite the following reply:
"Mr. George de Forest Graut presents
his compliments 10 Mrs. Bradley Martir
and desires TO know whether her niece
drinks"

ran as follows:
"Mrs. Bradley Martin l. much sur

to her by Mr.. George de Forest Grant
but begs to assure him most emphaticall,
that her niece does not drink"
The correspondence then came to
sudden ending through the following
note from MIR. Grant:
"Mr. George de Forest Grant yer,

"Had | better sell my wheat at 55
cents or hold 1t for higher price ?"
was q question recently propounded 10
DR.. w. |. Chamberlain. and he answers
as follows:
"The writer he's his crop of wheat in
the granary aud intends to keep il there
until developments advance the price or
monstrates that advance is not to be
expected. From all the information he
can gather be believes that the world 9
crop this year falls short of what the
world will demand. The most careful
caculstions make the supply, including
tho large surplus . carried over
about 100, ,0O0 900 million bushels short.
Against this we have financial string
ency, business depression and an abnor-
mally large supply Of wheat in sight.
These three things forced the price
do wn to the lowest point every recorded
in the commercial history of the country
this low price is rapidly removing
tie incubus OF a large available supply
Europe is buying wheat at . great rate
now. The exports last week we're
], 100000 bushels larger than the week
before aud 2,370,00O bushels larger than
the corresponding week last year, while
the receipts were much smaller. II is
estimated that the visible supply last
week was decreased 10000 bushels
against an increase OF 3,622.000 bushels
the corresponding week last year.
These facts tell their own story aud
are having their legitimate effect.
Wheat is firmer stronger and more act.
i've than a week ago at every point. II
an advance can DO made in the face OF
the greatest business depression aud
financisl stringcncy known since tM
war, what will result when money be-
comes easier aud business revives, and
the available supply is reduced to nor
NAL proportions!
"Whethcr business revivcs soon or
not the financial situation must improve
before long. Money cannot lie idle a
great while. II will soon be seeking
safe Investment and the low pricc OF
wheat is already attracting 1t. With
plenty OF money at easy rates the price
OF wheat will advance even II business
does not revive"

From the Indianapolis Sentinel.
South Carolina is doing very well

the New York Post, who has been study.
ing the system at Greenville. The state
is gradually increasing its profits, aud Il
ought TO, IL as reported, it is selling
whisky for So gallon for which saloon
keepers formerly charged Sl.35. AT
the Greenvillc dispensary sales amount
to about $500 per day, and are gradually
as the stocks which were
bought out when the saloons closed, are
being gradually usedlup. Last month
expected TO grow. On the other hand
there is loss OF revenue from fines. In
July there were fewer arrests than in
any month for years, and only one
drunk" was before the mayor. The
fines amounted to $48 dollars, as against
Sl5S for July. 1892. There was but
thirty "disorderlies" arrested, as against
eighty-seven for the preceding July
There Is an improvement in general
behavior, especially among the negroes,
who go home earlier and devote more
time 10 the cultivation Of domestic vir-
tues. This is due to the fact that the
dispensary is not losting place. Nei-
ther is it made attractive in any way
There are no pictures, no mirrors, no
fine glass ware, no lunch, on coffee or
spices for the breath, nothing but bare
room with a counter and a stock Of
whisky and beer.
Behind the counter sits tho dispenser,
who has already become known to the
negroes as "Mr. Spenser" aud in that
character has become an object of aflec-
ton to some Of them. "Look hyur,
said a colored mother of fam
lily, as she spread on the table an array
OF bacon and flour which her reformed
lord had brought in, ''see wat dat Mr..
Spenser done gone and done 4 u.s."
Citizens generally are disposed to give
the system fair trial, and concede that
it has done much to promote sobriety.
One of the features OF the law is that
minors and habitual drunkards cannot
obtain liquor at all. The law Is model
ed on the Swedish law. which has been
very beneficial in that country.
