WHEAT BULGED 2 1-2C
KAysAs REPORT GAVE BULLS COUR-
AGE AND LED TO BUYING.
shorts Were Nearly Pnnic-sfrfcken,
and the Advance Was Transmitted
to other Markets..

CHICAGO, June 1.-THE unexpected bad
condition of the Kansas wheat crop caused
a stampede in wheat to-day, and July closed
at a net advance Of PIC over yesterdays
close. Corn and oats responded to the bulge
and closed sc and sc higher, respectively.
Provisions made slight advances The ad-
vance to-day makes a total gain or over 6
cents a bushel in three days.
Wheat was excited and b~uoyant. with the
bulls rampant and the shorts in agony OF
fright. The Dullish news which has been
coming for some days and gradually working
I'd a buIlish sentiment seemed to have got
full possession this morning, and when re-
inforced by the official Kansas report, which
showed a drop OF nearly thirty points from
last month. the effect was to start a buying
furore. resulting in the advance above noted
Net only we're shorts covering wildly, but
there was active buying for the long account
as well. Many ommmission houses had gen.
erous outside orders. and there was little
wheat for sale. The Kansas rep2H put the
condition in the State at 60. against 81 a
month ago. Liverpool was Ad better. There
were rumors of injury TO the Russian rye
crop. and Minneapolis reported the largest
-four sales during the last forty-eight hours
than for any previous forty-eight hours in
the history OF the trade. The report OF
plentiful rains in France and the consequent
improvement of crop prospects here partially
checked the advance for a while, but the
buying movement was too strong to be over
come. and the scramble TO cover was general
TO the close. July opened excited and ABOUT

closed strong at 615sc.
Corn was quiet and rather weak during
the early hours, responding to the favorable
weather. But later. as wheat took its tinal
sharp jump. corn went up also. July opened
about hc higher, touched 2oc and closed
steady at 2S%c.
Oats followed the same path as corn. The
market was exceedingly quiet until near the
close, but under the influence OF wheat and
corn prices went I'D and closed at the high
point of the day July opened unchanged at
Use, touched INC and closed steady at l8Ac.
Provisions enjoyed a good sized trade all
day The opening was firm in sympathy
with hogs, but weakened later, under free
selling by packers. The bulge in wheat had
a steadying influence. and closing figures
showed but little change. July pork closed

WHAT'S IN A NAME:

A. Chicago gentleman writes to a
contemporary and suggests that the
name of Salt Lake City be changed. To
his Chicago-attuned ear, it has a
harsh, Unmusical, commonplace sound.
He wants a nice, sweet, pretty name,
something after the classic style,
something with an opolis to the end
of it. His ideas of the fitness of
things are very much like those of
that surveyor who went through York
state with a manual of Greek and
Roman history and named all the
towns and cities after the cities of the
ancient world.
1t may be true, it no doubt is true.
that the rose, under any other name,
would smell as sweet. But who wants
to change the name? To change the
name of Salt Lake City would not
change the city in any respect; it's
history would be what it has been. it's
future would be what it will be. Is
there any other name that could bring
up so many memories of the history
of the west as the one our city now
has? For half century, half CEN
fury of conflict, this city has borne it's
present name. Around it are clustered
the associations of all those years. Is
this nothing? What are a people S
most precious inheritances? Surely
they are the traditions that have

A CASE OF SENATORIAL BACK PAY

Senator Mitchell, chairman of the
senate committee on privileges and
elections, has reported a resolution
providing for the payment of the
salaries of Senator Lee Mantle, of
Montana, and Senator Clarence D.
Clark, of Wyoming. from March 4,
1898, the date when the senatorial seats
of those states became vacant instead
of from the later time when the sena-
tors were elected. 1t is said the reso-
luton is necessary in order to validate
payments already made.
1t is very doubtful if the resolution
should pass The states of Montana
and Wyoming failed to elect senator's
to represent them in the senate The
governors of the respective states made
appointments to fill the vacancies thus
created, but those appointees were not
allowed to take their seats in the SEN
ate, the senate holding that when a
state failed, through its legislature, to
elect q senator to represent 1t in the

The action of the sultan in deciding
on the expulsion of Protestant and
Catholic missionaries from Armenia
seems to be in ensifying the interest
in the Turkish-Armenian question.
which for a time has been over
Swallowed by other matters.
Various motives are ascribed for the
action, but the one which creates the
most interest is that which credits the
policy to the suggestion of Russia;
whose object is said to be to displace
the Catholic and Protestant mission
aries with ministers of the Russian
church, with a view to Russianize Ar
menia-
The pretext offered by the Sultan is
that the Protestant and Catholic mis-
sionaries encourage the Armenians to
revolt against the Turkish rule and
hence are regarded as a disturbing
element in the country and public
policy requires their Punishment 1t is
scarcely likely, however, that Chris
tan nations of Europe and America
will submit to the Punishment of Pro-
testant and Catholic missionaries with
out protest.

SHOULD A PREACHER STEAL SER
MONS:

An ultra fashionable divine of New
York has been caught stealing a SER
mon. The reverend gentleman so
caught is the Rev DIR. Parker Morgan
of the Episcopal church of the Heaven
| ly Rest. The sermon was stolen from
volume of sermons preached by
| George Putnam in the church of the
First Religious Society of Roxbury.
| Certainly the Rev. DR.. Morgan has
paid a high tribute to the moral and
intellectual worth of the Massachusetts
minister
The stealing of sermons is and is not
to be commended, paradoXical as the
statement may seem. 1t is to be COM
mended in that it shows an apprecia-
ton of good thing; it shows that
he who does 1t knows a good thing when
| he sees it and is DESTROYS that his par
ishioners shall enjoy it as we'll as him
self. that they may be moved by the
beauty of the language, the elevation of
thought, the depth of moral sentiment
that pervades it. We say that for all
these reasons the stealing of sermons
by reverend gentlemen is commendable.
1t is not commemorate in that it
| shows a lack of moral courage in the
minister guilty of it. 1t is not COM
mendable in that it shows he is fully
conscious of his inability to furnish
from his own mind so good a sermon
as the one he steals, as it practices a
deceit upon those who pay him literally
n ri Far
and make them easy in their conscien-
ces. 1t is not commendable in that,
while he breaches that people should be
truthful and honest, it shows he him
self is not truthful and honest. 1t is
not commendable in that it completely
ignores the old and reliable maxim,
Example is better than precept."
With great respect and all Difference
to the cloth, it must be acknowledged
that very few ministers are capable
of preaching really good sermons.
What is to be- done, then, when it is
remembered that the English people
(of whom the Americans are branch)
love to read sermons, according to the
authority of great French critic of
English literature? The only thing to
do is to adopt the plan of Sir Roger de
Coverley. He always had the most
eminent divines of ancient and modern
times preach in the village church. and
he always knew in advance whether it
would be the bishop of st. Asaph or
some one else. How absurd it would be
to ask a man to read an original poem
every week, and pay him for the same,
and expect him to equal Chaucer,
Shakespeare, Milton or Tennyson. If
people want good poetry, get a good
reader and insist upon his selecting
nothing but the very best
Now why shouldn't Rev. DR.. Parker
Morgan adopt this plan in his sermons?
What sermons he could give from Til
lotson, South, Newman and Beecher,
with one occasionally translated, with
acknowledgements. from Bossuet! The
next time he steals sermon we would
suggest that he steal that very superior
one in Tristram Shandy entitled, "And
We Trust We Have a Good Con-
science" and that he get the inimitable
Corporal Trim to read it. He will cap
tivate his congregation.
