House of Lords in Great Britain. He knows
nothing about the subject, but he is equal to
the occasion, and the Buzza'd gives forth to
the world that if the House of Lords is done

and if it is not done away with there will still
be two. t'The Betzznd,' writes the youthful

Young Scooper finds his way to New York,
and, poor devil, gets footsore in dancing at
tendance on editors to get a job at report
ing. But he gets it and rises.
Scooper is not good newspaper man. He
can't write English and there are lapses of
grammer in his conversation. But he is a
hustler; looks after Jim Scooper and has no
principles. ,.
He may even have begun with sweeping
out the office, and one day he finds himself,
by the grace of the proprietor, city editor of
the Morning Hlsmdum in the metropolis. A
great change now comes over Scooper, not for
the better. By some means he gets the ear
Of the proprietor and becomes supreme.
Scooper makes himself felt, and reporters
and subordinates subside into the innermost
recesses of their boots in his presence. Why
does the sole proprietor of the Morning Hum
drum have such confidence in Scooper? 1t is
for number of reasons. One of them is be-
cause he (Scooper) never gets into a con-
troversy with his lord and master. Another
is, that Scooper is an expert at scaling bills of
reporters. Under no circumstances must

and by deducting twenty-five cents here and
fifty cents here, he reduces it to SLABS and is
happy.
By applying this process to all the bills he
manages to save quite neat little sum for
the proprietor, who passes his time in
Europe, while Scooper keeps the paper up to
the scratch, and if the revenue should fall

Has anybody ever been able to find out
why the executive editor of newspaper is
feared by his subordinates as if he were an
Eastern autocrat? You don't find it in the
drygoods or grocery business. Employees
are not in mortal terror of heads of de-
partments, and yet groceries and drygoods
are just as much business enterprises as a
newspaper.
Scooper, whose ignorance of art, literature,
foreign politics and all refined knowledge is
of the densest description, talks Familiarity
on all these subjects, but is shrewd enough
not to say too much.

There are some fourteen thousand news

in this country. Each of them has an editor
who is generally much more of an oracle to
his readers than he is in his own estimation.

SENSATION IN PORK

Other Lines of Provision Followed at
Better Prices-Wheat Fell Off 1-8c,
with Corn and Oats Lower.

CHICAGO, Jan. 1O.-Pork shot skyward
to-day advancing 771sc per barrel on heavy
buying. Lard and ribs followed at a re-
spectful distance. Wheat was weak on
heavy selling. May closing 1kc lower. May
corn lost sc, and May oats like amount.
On lower cables the wheat market opened
weak. with May &c lower at 671ac. The
offerings of long wheat at the start were
liberal, and prices declined steadily for
time. The light receipts, however, caused
a reaction, on which some of the early loss
was overcome. The total at eight primary
markets amounted TO 3l0992 bushels, COM
pared with 62S, 600 bushels a year ago. Prices
were steady for time, or until Brad
streets visible was posted Bradstreets
figures on stocks were not encouraging
TO holders as might have been. These fig
ures showed a decrease of $4,000 bushels
east of the Rockies and an increase Of 200,-
600 bushels west. Australia in three weeks
showed an increase of 100000 bushels, while
European stocks showed a decrease of L.
$4,000 bushels. The report was generally
regarded as bearish, and Partridge who
surprised the pit by buying at the early
decline, began selling. Other traders fol-
lowed suit, and another decline followed.

was heavy at the close, May finishing at

ures of the day at 30@sc =,
Provisions opened higher and advanced all
day with few and slight reactions. Pork

the causes of the heavy buying was the
failure of expected heavy receipts TO ma

the effect that a shortage OF l,VOOOoO hogs
in the stock of the country would be am

buying was general. The strength continued
throughout the session, subject only TO the
temporary reactions of somewhat limited
character every now and then on little
