WAsHRuRN CoRNERED.

Senator Villas stripped off the pre-
tense of pure purpose with which SEN
ator WASHBURN has draped his anti
option bill, and exposed what has been
charged to be the real purpose of it.
Rather. Senator Villas made Senator
WAsHBURN do the stripping. 1t shows
that the object is what the senator adj
mitted it to be to the Chicago reporter,
on which we commented Yesterday, the
absolute control Of the price of wheat
by the Northwestern millerS.
The senator from Wisconsin was max
ing ali argument against the bill, when
the junior senator from this state inter
rupted him to ask whether contracts in
which neither party intended the deliv-
cry of the grain would be sustained by
any court. Admitting that they would
not, Senator Villas asked Senator WASH
BURN whether he would accept an
amendment TO his bill which shall limit
its effect to such contracts as both par
ties intend shall not be followed by de-
livery of the article" The report says
that the senator hesitated, but finally
said that he would not because it would
not be effective; it would be evaded.
This makes it evident that the millers
are not after wind wheat" but are
after all dealers in wheat except where
immediate delivery follows the con-
tract. They intend to bar out from
competition with them even the men
who would buy for actual future deliv-
cry. A farmer could not hypothecate
his crop, because this is an agreement
to deliver crop at some future day.
The rank paternalism and unconsti-
nationality of such measure need no
further demonstration than the Chic ago
interview and the senator's reply to the
question of Senator Villas.

CLEVELAND, O., Jan. 6.-When the

debauch, it was predicted that the effect

his own hands were badly in

that he did not venture out upon the

Mrs. Todd, also prominent in money

cause better one, to present its tariff
pictures and to contend for its fetch.
One of its latest efforts is tabulation
of our exports to England during the
ten months ending with October, to
show, presumably, what protection has
done for US. The table includes most
of our protected manufactures, and
shows exports valued at S1S90l, 702.
With that blindness which is the peeul-
lar characteristic of the protectionist,
the Press fails to see that its table is a
velitable boomerang. showing, Uy the
most conclusive of arguments, demon
stration, that our manufacturers need no
protection against competition, because
they are competing with England in her

teetive tariff, with the multitude of adj

REPUBLICAN ADVICE.

1t would be natural to suppose that
the New York Tribune would fight a
little shy of giving promiscuous advice
nowadays. Only recently the Tribune
advised the country by all means to
elect the Tribune'S editor to the posi-
ton of vice president, and the country
used almost unnecessary emphasis in
rejecting the advice. But, notwith-
standing this rebuff, the Tribune con-
tinues to give advice right and left, in
cheerful disregard of its ineffectlveness.
1t is particularly fond of advising
GROVER CLEVELAND as to his duties
and responsibilities, being, no doubt,
convinced that it earned this privilege
by its share in accomplishing the late
Democratic triumph. Its latest advice
to Mr.. Gle VELAND is that he waive his
personal objections to Mr. MURPHY for
the senate, because "Mr MURPHY and
his associates had strong personal OBJ
jectiOns to Mr.. CLEVELAND, and vet
they gave him such earnest support that
he was elected"
The tribune shows more zeal than
accuracy in its sincere striving after
Democratic harmony in New York. Mr..
MURPHY and his associates did support
Mr. CLEVELAND after he had been
made the nominee of the Chicago con-
vention, but previous to the nomination
they opposed Mr.. CLEVELAND as cor
daily as that gentlemen now opposes
the nomination of Mr.. MURPHY for sem
ator by the Democratic legislative eau
Gus. In opposing Mr.. MURPHY before
his nomination, therefore, Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND is simply exercising his right of
reciprocity. If the caucus chooses Mr.
MURPHY as its candidate. Mr.. CLEvE-
LAND wiH acquiesce. in the will of the
majority as readily as Mr.. MURPHY and
his associates acquiesced in the will of
the Chicago convention.

TRANsCoNTiNENrAL RATES.

They Are Getting Into Worse Con-
dition Than Ever Before.
CHICAGO, Jan. 6.-East-bound rates
from the Pacific coast are apparently
getting into worse condition than ever
before. The Southern Pacific, not con-
tent with the ruinous reductions here
tofore put into effect on various COM
mOdities from San Francico to New
York and intermediate points, has
asked its connections to join it in reduc-
ing the rate OH dry hides, sheep pelts
and goats pelts in carload shipments
to 81 per 100 pounds from California to
New York. 1t also desires to make a
rate of so cents per 100 pounds on wine
in carloads from the Pacific to
the Atlantic coast, applying
the same rate to Chicago. The
old story of clipper ship competition is
rehearsed in giving a reason for these
Pacific may put the reduced rates
into effect by way of New Orleans, but
whether it will be allowed to do so by
way of Chicagois not yet definitely set
tied. The AtchiSon has decided to meet
the earlier reductions of the Southern
Pacific, and may take the same course
with regard to the new rates, but the
AtchiSon is on record as agreeing TO
make no lower rates to the Atlantic sea-
board than to Chicago. The Southern
Pacifc'S rates on canned goods, brandy,
ETC., are higher to Chicago than to New
York.
A rate of so cents on wine from Cali
fornia to Chicago would give the lines
east of the Missouri river just cents
per 100 pounds as their proportion, and
yet the WeSt-boupd rate on wine is 70
cents from Chicago TO the river. Not
one of these roads has consented to the
tariff, and 1t is not likely that any action
will be taken until after the meeting of
the transcontinental lines in st. Paul
next Monday. fhe Union Pacific has
refused to participate III the reduced
rates, but it is understood that the Rock
Island, by way of showing its loyalty to
the Denver IL Rio Grande. will stand by
that road in competing for the traffic
until the rates dWindle to nothing.

SIOUX CITY FAILURE.
Leeds Land and Improvement

SIOUX CITY, To-, Jan. 6.-The Leeds
Land and Improvement company. of
this city, failed today with liabilities of
S500,000, and assets of less than $1,000
600, mostly Ill real estate, on which
scarcely the amount of liabilities can
be realized. The company was Or
ganiZed to build the manufacture
ing suburb of Leeds for speculative
purposes, In doing so it incurred a
large Indebtedness over and above its
income from the sale OF property. Some
holders OF prior liens commenced to
push their claims, and John j. Brooks,
of Boston. financial agent. was sent to
interest Eastern stockholders in raising
money to satisfy them. |. G. Hender-
son. a local creditor, charged that he
had raised 100000, for which he had
not accounted, and this precipitated the
failure. Following are names OF per-
sons who have filed attachments and
the amounts of each:
Sioux City Creditors-A. S. Garretson,

Davidson 81 Co., Kansas City, $4,000.
In addition TO these claims there is at
least 100000 worth of bonds held by
Sioux City banks as collateral, and
from S300,000 to $500, 900 in bonds held
by Eastern capitalists and loan com
panies, secured by first real estate
mortgages. Probably S2O00O0 of the
claims are not secured, while the other
$300,000 are.
The failure has carried down with it
the American Security company, the
Leeds Annex company and the Sioux
City Land company, which were inter

Improvement company. The total capt.
talization of the four companies is
So, 900, 000. AT the outside $1,000
