organization had been made permanent,
Walker proceeded to read the riot act for
Wheeler's benefit. He told him he must treat
the convention with respect or be put out oil

however, and insisted on hayiag his rights as

for this delegation recommended that both

half votes.
W. W. Ramsey moved that the chairman

there was more disorder, some objecting and
some seconding the motion. Albert Spears
held the floor. He did not want any such

WARM IN THE CORN PIT.
excitement Enough for Even the
Hardest Operator

Chicago, July 90.-There was plenty of
excitement in the corn pit today. Reports
Oh ruined crops came IN thick and fast
ana Ti,d the price Jumped rapidly.
ana the market closed at the top figure
of the day.
The excitement started with the posting
of statement showing the receipts of live
stock in Chicago to be 81 900 head. the
largest one day receipts ever known. T.
brought traders to the realiza ton of the
drought in the corn belt, and it's conse-
qrences such as they had not previously
conceived. The magnitude of the receipts
showed that western growers had become
alarmed over the long drought, and, fear
feed at paying prizes, had resolved to sell
out at once. While the brokers have
taken cognizance of the drought, they
had not heretofore, had it so strongly i'm
pressed upon their minds. The showing
that $4,000 hogs, 10000 cattle and 10000
sheep had been shipped to. Chicago in
twenty-four hours came with almost the
suddenness and force of a Knockout
blow.
During all last week. corn was on the
jump. The signal service reports. of
shCW in various localities caused prices
to drop 2 cents, but when it was reasoned
that the rain had benefited only a limited
territory, prices advanced. Saturday night
prices closed pretty well advanced, with
the exception of the market being in
fluenced by the weather on Monday.
When the traders came down to business
and press dispatches and saw that in sec
ticns of Illinois, Missouri. and Kansas,
showers had fallen, but there had not been
sufficient to break the drought in the big
corn belt, which extends from Ohio to the
Rocky. mountains.
Then came the announcement regarding
live stock receipts, ana it began to be
realized that 70 per cent. of the best por-
ton of the corn belt was still affected by
the drouth The surplus corn states
Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas ard In
diana-which last year raised a billion
bushels out of the 1000, 900, 600 constituting
tie entire crop, and shipped much OF it
because they We're unable to use it, had
not been materially affected it was de-
CARED. and the brokers were set to think
ing. 1t did not take them long 10 figure
out with considerable unanimity, that the
" estern packers who had been heavy buy
ers of corn during the closing days of last
week. knew more about the exact situa-
tion than they did themselves, and that
the indications of the serious effect of
the drouth had been seen in the west be-
fore they were seen here.
All these things influenced the market,
and the alarm became general.
One thing that ayerted a panic was the
pulling against each other of wheat and
corn. Every indication was favorable to
forcing wheat down and corn UP.
The excitement continued undated until
the close with the outlook for a field day

Passage of a Few Unimportant Bills
in the House.
Washington, July 30.-Beyond the
passage of few unimportant bills, by
unanimous consent, nothing was done
by the House today. Mr.. Boutelle offer
ed resolution congratulating and re-
cognfzing the Hawaiian republic, but on
point Of order, it was referred to the
committee on foreign affairs.
Two hours were spent in an attempt
to secure the adoption of a special order
for the consideration of Mr.. McCrea's
bill to protect public forest reserva-
tions but the Republicans, by absent
ing themselves, succeeded in forcing an
adjournment.
Under the act of March 3, 1893, the
president reserved public timber lands
from sale and disposal, and set them
aside for forestry purposes.
The total number of acres so receiv-
ed aggregated 17,764, 800 acres, and in
cluded lands in Alaska, Arizona Cali
fornia. Colorado, New Mexico, Oregon,
Washington and Wyoming
The bill. for which consideration was
sought today empowered the secretary
of the interior to sell under restric-
lions rot exceeding so per cent of the
timber of commercial value on these
reservations, to regulate the occupan-
cy of the same and to protect the same
against fire and depredations

Washington, July 30.-Nr. Harris, of
Kansas, a member Of the House COM
mittee on Pacific railroads, has submit
ted the following supplemental state
ment to the minority report against the
Reilly bill:
q fully concur in the foregoing views
of the minority, except so far as the
opinion is expressed that the govern
ment should, in the event of foreclosure,
proceed to sell or transfer the property
acquired to some other corporation or
company as indicated and suggested in
the Pattison report.
1.-The agents of the state for the per-
Torrance of a public duty have, as a
rule, proven incompetent and dishonest;
incompetent in not protecting the rights
and interests of the public and dishon-
est in using the powers entrusted to
them wholly for selfish ends and for
the purpose Of building up vast private
fortunes at the expense Of the people.
In the case Of the Pacific railways,
the object of the original act was stated
to be to promote the public interests
and welfare and to that end subject to
alteration, amendment or repeal
and hence the subsidies of lands and
=
companies as trustees. for the accom-
plishment Of that object. Their breach
Of faith is unparalleled and undenied
and their sole excuse is that they did
only that which other companies die
and followed the common custom OF
railway builders and managers.
why, then, enter into such an en-
tangling alliance and permit or risk the
sacrifice Of public duty and functions to
private aVarice. greed and bad faith?
Il believe that foreclosure of the gov
eminent lien should at once follow de.
fault in payment in that a complete
transcontnental line should be acquired
and operated by the only competent
and legitimate power-the people
through their government Such will
be the influence of this action that prob
ably no further changes in the trans
portation system of the country will be
necessary, but that everywhere the pub
lie duty to be thus performed will be
recognized as justly earned

OUR NORTHERN NEIGHBoRs.

State Auditor Ramsey has submitted
to Governor Mcconnell his semi-annual
report covering the period between
January 1, 1894, and June 80, 1894. The
report shows that the receipts for six
months were $3OS, 497.72, while the war
rants issued amounted to 99,985.43. The
taxable property in the reports of the
various county officers for 1893. The
states proportion taxes levied was
$2S4, 17O90. The total bonded debt is
$3.50, O00 of which $4,000 are capitol
building bonds, for the payment of
which there is already on hand about
S59, 900.
1t is said that "charivari" party
can soon make a band of 100000
crickets take the back track and de-
sert any country. Old John Haley,
who lives in Wood River valley, tells a
HALEY paper that the crickets have
been very numerous in his section, but
have done but very little damage, be-
cause people have learned the trick of
driving them away by beating tin cans
or anything that will make noise. A
person with a tin can walks along by
the side of the crickets. At each stroke
on the can the crickets crowd over
each other in their endeavor to escape
the noise. One person can, by walking
back and for<h for SO feet or so, beat
back quite a number of the crickets,
and three or four persons acting in
concert can drive millions of them.
When strikers expect all good citi-
zens to stand by them in their strug-
gle with employers, be they right or
wrong, they should not forget that in
the past they have repeatedly marched
to the polls like bands of sheep driven
to the slaughter, and voted for the
very measures that brought about the
evils of which they complain at the
request or command of their employ
ers. Especially has this been the case
in Pennsylvania, Ohio. California and
several other states. They would cast
a servile vote to hold job regardless
of consequences to their fellow citizens,
and now they expect unconditional
sympathy for all their acts. There are
many of the organized laborers who
are not wholly blameless for our evil
times.-Amador Dispatch.
