MINOR FACTS AND EANcIss.

1t is no more than fair TO acknowledge
merit even If it be merit in what many
will think wrong direction. The United
Press, in IT'S report OF the Corbett. Mitchell
fight, sent not only the first accurate
news, but also tho hest report, considered
by journalistic standards, Of all the ener
getc news purvoyors represented at Jack
sonvile There was absolutely no fault
IN It's service upon this important occa-
sion, cOnceding, of course, that people
want good reports Of bad events Just as
much as they do good reports of good ones.

One of the best all round Republican
newspapers in the Omitted States is un.
questionably the Chicago Inter Ocean. 1t
represents better the real sentiment of tile
Republican masses than any other news
paper published in city Of the first mag,
ntude, unless we except the Philadelphia
Press, which gives it close race No
New York journal can be said to be in
touch with the great western country
whose natural metropolis is Chicago.
Under the scholarly editorial control OF
William Penn Nixon and the enterprising
business management of Proprietor Kohl
Saat, the Inter Ocean has won signal
triumphs as an ideal family Journal.

good point is made by Representative
FAIRS Courler-Progress when it calls ut

present police force doubled, there would
need to DO individual effort on the part Of
each citizen to suppress lawlessness aud to
volunteer in the general campaign against
crime. But 1t will strike Il good many
residents Of this city, who are also taxpay-
ers that they should not ma pXneCted TO
do all the battling. When great areas of

men, remain for hours exposed to the dep
rotations Of promiscuou5 prowlers, it is
proper first TO increase the force before
calling upon citizens to volunteer as mill

Wheat Opens Strong, so Closing for
May-Foreign Markets Very Firm

Universal Demand Abroad for

CHICAGO Dc. Wheat opened strong
and also closed with May, but between
opening and closing there were several
dips. News was uncomprOmisiDgly bull
ish. The foreign stocks decreasing in the
face of liberal imports was the main
strengthening influence. Corn suffered
from neglect, but gained 15@4 cent on
yesterdays closing prices. Provisions
were dull, but firm, and gained little.
May oats finished unchanged.
Wheat opened strong, under various
bullish influences. The Liverpool and
other foreign markets were very firm and
again sent higher quotations. California
sent very buliish dispatches regarding the
universally OF the demand for cash wheat
from abroad. The opening price for May
was from 6 ,1z@605I cents, but for an hour
aud hall the tendency was downward. II
sagged to 601t@6015 cents, and then ad-
vanced to aud closed at 603s cents.
Corn was dull ana fluctuations narrow,
but the speculative demand for May was
rather i0 excess OF the desire TO sell. The
fluctuations followed those of wheat, and
