make it interesting for Mr.. Morton if he
should receive the Republican nomination.

There is no danger of it. David d. is
shrewd enough to get from under polili-

put it down as fact that Mr.. Hill will not
lead the Democratic forces of the Empire

The Presidency Of the Senate.

1t seems to be generally understood that
Hon. George M. Seiders of Portland, will
be elected to the Presidency of the Maine
Senate the coming winter without opposi-
ton He is gentleman in every way
qualified for the duties of the position. He
graduated from Bowdoin college in 1872
and after teaching for several years read
law with Hon. Thomas B. Reed, and was
admitted to the Cumberland bar. He set
tied in Portland and quickly attained a
prominent position in the practice of his
profession. He was member of the
Maine House of Representatives in 1878,
serving with distinction upon the judiciary
committee, and establishing reputation as
an able and ready debater. He served as
United States assistant counsel in the Ala
bama court of claims in 1884, and was
elected county attorney for Cumberland
county for two terms, 1858. Mr.. Seiders
is an orator of exceptional force and elo-
quence. He has strong, clear voice, and
unites fine mastery of pure English, with
a graceful delivery. He was recognized as
one of the clearest and most persuasive
speakers of the Senate two years ago, and
exerted strong influence in shaping the
legislation of the session. He will bring to
the Presidency of the Senate grace, tact
and an intimate knowledge of the duties of
the position. Under his guidance its work
cannot fail to be conducted rapidly and

Judge A. H. Horizons suggestions.

In view of the fact that the docket of the
supreme court is now about four years be-
hind and the delinquency increasing each
year, the proposition for the appointment of
commissioners to assist the court in dispos-
ing of the accumulation of business is being
revived. 1t is understood that Chief Justice
Horton is not favorable to the commissioner
system, for the reason that their work must
be reviewed to some extent by the regular
justices, hence very little time is gained by
the court. Judge Horton believes that in
termediate courts of appeals, one in eastern
Kansas and one in the western part of the
state, would afford ample relief and not be
subject to any of the objections found in the
case of commissioners. The commissioners
are not authorized by the constitution, and,
in reality, cannot decide cases except upon
the approval of the court, but the court of
appeals could be established by law and
with two divisions, suggested, the work of
the supreme court would be lightened and
the interests of lItigants greatly promoted.
Judge Horton suggests that the court of
appeals should be limited in its civil juris-
diction to cases involving sums under $1,000,
and that the jurisdiction should not extend
to constitutional cases or those involving
land titles.

Sentiment of Senator'S.

BALTIMORE, November 16.-The Mauufac-
turer's Record publishes special letters from
a large number of United States senators
and congressman giving their views on
whether the government should give finan-
sial aid to secure the early construction of
the Nicaragua canal. The letters are about
equally divided between the democrats and
republicans.
Sherman, of Ohio. writes he is thoroughly
ommitted to the construction of the Mica
ragua canal and en pha-izes the report made
to the senate IN favor of government aid.
Senator Walsh, of Georgia, says the Mica
ragua canal is the greatest enterprise now
before the business world. He believes it
should be built and controlled by the United
States government; that it would open new
markets for our products, the field, the
mine, and the factory and would enable
America to compete successfully with Euro
pean nations for the trade of the Spanish
American countries and the countries of the
Orient.

Consideration is being given to the feasl
oility of utilizing electric and other rapid
motor street car lines to facilitate the trans
portation of mails in the important cities
between the main postoffice and branch of

plan of this kind will probably incluoe the
running of special cars on the street lines
for the exclusive use of the mail service,
not only for carrying locked pouches, but
IN which a certain amount of distribution
will be possible. OF course such an ar

A Gradual Improvement.


New YORK, November 19.-R. G.. Dun a.
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says:
In nearly al branches of business grad
ual improvement appears and a hopeful
feeling obtained last week and still contin-
ues. 1t will take some time to lift business
out of its depre sslon and the progress made,
if less than the san9uine expected, it is at
least encouraging. The decision to offer
$50,000,00O bonds for replenishment of
treasury reserve was, by bankers, generally
approved.
It is generally assumed the bonds will be
taken at once. The effect is less easy to an
ticipate for the formal announ cement that
after a general reconstruction of revenue
laws it is still found necessary to borrow
largely, tends to raise dOu bt about financial
provisions for the future. The reported i'm
portation of gold from London with loss
on its face of 81 500 at the present exchange
rates is presumably meant to effect bond
There have already been
come Withdrawals of gold from the treasury
by redemption of notes to make payments
for bonds and goods rather than gold is
likely to come from Europe.
Resumption of work and increase of work
ing time have been more conspicuous in the
cotton industry than others, but no increased
demand for goods appear.
For finished products of iron the demand
on the whole is narrower. At the west there
was a little improvement. Manufacturers
of woolens have good orders for the time OF
the year, many still running mainly on such
goods but there is a general failure of sup
Elemental orders for spring goods.
Sales of wool are again smaller than last
year.
Speculative markets have been stimulated
in part by the call for bonds and wheat has
115c, corn 113c and cotton six
teenth. Western wheat receipts in two
weeks of November have been ,871, 671 BUSH
els against II, 166, $50 last year, but Atlantic
exports in two weeks have been only ,029,-
355 bushels, against 1,77O,645 last year and
they are not increased by the advance in
price, which is partly due to accounts of ex-
tensive feeding to cattle. In October over
half the exports were from the Pacific coast,
at less than 30 cents, so that the average for
all exports was only 50.8 against 68.5 last
year. Corn receipts have been less than half
of last years, with e2 ports insignificant.
The failures of the week have been 27O in
The United States against 232 last year, and
38 in Canada against 36 last year.

A s AY NOV a lw
Might Grind Hom.

OMAHA. NEB., November 20-Transmis-
souri, grain traffic is practically at an end
and will continue so until new crop is bar
vested. Railroads, instead of transporting
grain to eastern markets, are hauling it into
Nebraska. Kansas and other western states,
on account of the short crop. There are
about seven counties in Nebraska with any
visible supply of wheat, or for that matter,
any other grain, tributary to the Burlington,
Union Pacific and Rock Island, and these
counties are located in the eastern and south
eastern portion of the state in a belt where
the average wheat rate is 26 cents per 100
pounds, or Is 6-10 cents bushel. The ac-
tual Chicago value in the above territory,
allowing nothing for the middleman, is SO
cents per bushel and during the entire fall
wheat has been worth from SO to 55 cents
per bushel to central Nebraska mills, where
it escapes classification. weighing. switching
and other charges incident to Chicago de-
livery. at the mills it has only to be sub
jected to 10 cents freight rate, or cents
bushel. This wheat has been worth AZ to 49
cents to the producer shipper on track. or
10 cents more than if shipped to Chicago.
Wheat, therefore, if not shipped to mills or
used locally, is held for future delivery.
The same condition obtains with corn and
oats. But the demand is not alone conf fined
to Nebraska and Kansas; there is also
large territory tributary TO the Rocky noun
tains where there is a demand fog cereals,
especially corn and oats.

Chairman RiohnrdsoninIt

1t is stated in Topeka that Chairman J. S.

committee of Kansas, Is negotiating for the
Topeka Daily Press, witha a view of making it
a stalwart democratic organ. Mr.. Richardson
is an experienced newspaper man, and was for
some time the editor of the Wichita Beacon,
which paper he relinquished to take the ac-
tive management of the Kansas democratic
campaign this year.
In connection with this rumor is another
one 10 the effect that Mr.. Richardson will
be candidate for mem Der of the state board
of railroad commissioners. The present
board is composed of two populsts and one
democrat. but with the coming change of
administration the board will probably be
made up of two republicans and Que straight

Charge the Commission with Falstty.

The Railway Age contains reply to the
report of the United States strike commits
sioners, addressed to those gentlemen.
The reply criticises the report of the COM
mission in strong terms, specifying numer-
Gus misstatements of fact and ia Sc couclu-
sions in the report. The statements made
in the commissions report many of them,
are charged to be false, as shown by their
Inconsistencies, not only with facts in evi-
dence but, in many instances. the statement Is
are inconsistent with each other.
The Railw Age says the statements of
the commission ''Show an amazing and al
most incomprehensible misunderstanding of
the essential elements of the st-i8e;" and
that "the curious ccident that the misstate-
ments of fact are all on the same side-all
tending to throw discredit upon the corpora
tious and to increase the bitterness of the
laboring classes against caDital-is an acci-
dent from which one would prefer to draw
no inferences5
The Railway Ages article concludes with
this:
''One conclusion only may be ORA wn,
which is that no matter on what side the
errors, the mere existence of such errors,
though many and of such enormity, alone
suffices to make the report entirely worth
less and discreditable as public document
discreditable alike to the commissioners
themselves and to the country"
