THE DITCHED BRIGADIERs.
A Busy Country Has Wearied of Their
DlOviatfng Humbug.
Chicago Times Oem.)


Chicago Times Oem)
Is there, outside of rhetoric, a last ditch
Do there exist, save in figures of speech,
fearful and bloody men who perish in that
last ditch?
We heard some revival recently from
Southern brigadiers in the Senate of the
United States of their purpose TO do mar
velous things rather than assent for a mo-
ment to the proposition of the Democratic
party announced last June that the coward
ly makeshift' should be repealed. Within
forty-eight hours Mr.. Harris, VINO was re-
Gently declaring that the Vice President
of the United States would never be per-
mitted arbitrarily TO order the calling OF the
roll on the present matter because he would
be killed if he tried il, was saying that he
would '.see the universe sunk in eternal
perdition'' before he would permit the In
famous rneasure'-that is, a measure for
the repeal of what the Democratic conven-
ton OF last June called a ''cowardly make
shift"-to pass the Senate. Another last
ditcher. one of those thraSonicai brig
adiers of whom we heard so much
during the war and from whom we have
heard so much since, Senator Pugh de-
clared that he would die in his tracks be-
fore he would abandon an inch of the posi-
ton he had taken, a position opposed to the
Democratic party. Another bloviating hum
bug, who thirty years ago was all the time
dying rhetorically in the last ditch and has
survived to enjoy his monthly voucher from
the treasury of the United States, Senator
George, of Mississippi, was proposing with
in forty-eight hours to fight the Demo-
cratic measure for repeal of the "cowardly
malxeshift' ''as long as breath lasted"
The George breath seems to have given
out.
If the &C untry has wearied of these an
cient hum Jugs, blatant and boastful talk
ers, who seem to know nothing of the
genius OF The Republic which survived de-
spite their efforts to destroy il, Ii is small
wonder. The fellows belong TO a past age
A generation which is all business and
cares nothing for rhetorical cant has no
patience with the grandiose charlatans that
are forever willing TO die in the last ditch
but forever postponing the discovery of
the precise location of the ultimate excaya-
tion

LOCAL GRAIN AND PRODUCE.
More Activity I'm Trade Circles with
Few Changes In Values.

Yesterday was the most active day of the
present week on the wholesale streets
Morning trains brought in a number of
country merchants and mail orders were
better than for some days past. But il is
still noticeable that retail merchants are
buying only goods which are necessities for
families from day to day, and on a very
limited scale. Boot and shoe men report
trade better, and dry goods houses are
selling some goods but far below the aver
age October volume. Prices in dry goods
are steady. but can hardly be said to be
firm. Grocers report trade I'm leading
staples fair. but not up to expectations by
any means. On Commission row business
still drags. and the commission man who is
now making expenses is very well satisfied
There is more complaint of late as regards
collections.
The local grain market is as near a stand
still as IL ever gets. Attendance on Change

alton in prices. Track bids yesterday ruled
