mate IA the Board OF Trade, and quashed
the eleven indictments against W. A.
Skahe and ten Others. charged With be-
ing proprietors Of or employed IN bucket

The Board OF Trade does a wholesale
business IN wheat dealings" said Judge
Horton, "and what IS called the bucket
shops 10 q retail trade. There IS abso-
luteiy no difference In their methods OF
operation, and the statute which makes
the Board of Trade business legitimate
does tina same for the lesser dealers, VINO

in conversation with a gentleman who

NOTES AND COMMENTS.

The Reading Railroad is out of the
hands of receivers. With the scaling that
was done in the re. organization, and the
proper management,it it ought to be able to
keep its hand above water now.
Canton still seems to De the Mecca
toward which a good many people wend
their way. President elect Mckinley is
receiving good deal of advice just now as
to appointments and how to conduct his
administration.
DR.. Parkhurst, who is always terror
to evil-doers, has been stirring up
Gotham again with sharp stick. This
time he prodded society on the inidelity
of men to the married relation and the
folly of rich women who patronize bar
gain counters. declaring that the latter
are as effectually numbering tie shop girls
and the sewing women as if they had used
q dagger. If the Doctor had wanted to
arouse the social lion he could not have
aimed more direct.

John M. Carson, writing from Wash
ington to the Philadelphia Ledger, states
that an effort will be made at the coming
session of Congress to provide for the
creation of commission to whom the
tariff question shall be referred with
authority to make investigation and re-
port to Congress what legislation is
needed. Senator Cullom introduced bill
some time ago providing for such COM
mission but no action was ever taken
upon it. There is growing sentime ut
that the tariff question should be taken
out of politics and that settled revenue
policy should be agreed upon and the
constant agitation of this vexed question,
which is so detrimental to business, be
permanently and satisfactorily disposed
OF. Senator Cullom is of the opinion that
this is the opportune time for the enact
ment of egislation of this character. But
whether it can be brought about or not
is another question.

There is growing opposition to
biennial sessions of the State Legislature,
and strong effort will most likely be
made this winter, when the am endments
to the Constitution are under considera-
tion, to defeat the one providing for
sessions once in two years. The opinion
seems to prevail that annual sessions are
necessary in order that bad laws passed
at one session may be repealed or
amended within year. The expenses of
the annual sessions, it is claimed, will be
a comparatively small charge for the
relief that will be insured.
