A Grain Decision,

f-yi "A TRAIN OeC181On.
@ "A case Of general and local interest In
the grain trade has just been decided In
the Ramsey county court. The plaintiff
was the Farmers Warehouse associa ton
of Medelia, Mimi, and Woodward & Co.,
Of Minneapolis were the defendants The
plaintiff company incurred losses In ifu-
ture trading in both Chicago and Mime
apolis markets. The plaintiff claims the
manager had no authority to make such
trades. that even II he did they were
gambling Transactions, and losses so in-
Cured could not be set off against the
proceeds received from the sale Of grain.
1t appeared the manager had sole charge
of the business for years, and In all
transactions made on the floor Of the
Chamber Of Commerce Of Minneapolis
that the actual delivery Of the grain was
contemplated. and that the purchase and
sale Of grain for future delivery, either
there or in Chicago, was q contract which
could be enforced the same as any other.
The public is apt to confuse the trading
with bucket shops (Which do not handle
any actual grain) with reputable houses
which do business on the various ex-
changes and the result is frequently ex-
pensive litigation and heavy losses to the
outside trade in addition to those made
on the board of trade. This case lasted
seven days. with able attorneys on both
sides. 1t resulted in verdict for defend
ant in every point in controversy.

DEMOCRATIC PR0SPE

1t seems probable that the
free silver men will have two
thirds of the delegates at Chi
cago with them on any test
vote, especially on nomination
of candidates. Up to this writ
ting, there is little prospect OF
either compromise or a bolt.
The platform will be a free sill
YER document. A free silver
ticket will be nominated and
the chances are largely in favor
of its election. Minnesota has
revolted from the republican
ranks. There is a fierce war in
New York. Teller advises free
silver men, of all parties, to
support the democratic nom
inees provided he is in favor of
free silver, and this advice car
ries much weight with it. As
Teller says, this course is the
only chance of success for free
silver men,
So it seems now from all ap
pearances, that a free silver
man will be the next president
of the United States, but he will
be a democrat.

MORTON GIVES UP THE
FIGHT.
Compared the Silver Craze to
a Mad Bull and Says
None Can Stop 1t.

Washington, July 2.-Secre-
tary Morton comedies that the
silver faction of the democratic
party will have everything its
own way in Chicago, and that
no possibility remains for de-
feating the selection of a silver
platform and candidate. The
secretary says:
eff there is a man in this
country who does not believe
that silver is going to see that
doubling Thomas. He would
do me good
When asked for an express
sion of opinion concerning the
statements given out by Mr..
Whitney secretary Morton said:
Sup in our weather bureau
there is a man who believes
that by firing guns into an ap-
preaching tornado it can be
destroyed. The trouble with
Mr.. Whitney's threat is that
the gun is not big enough-the
men behind it are too few.
Silver is like a mad bull. 1t has
got the road and is going to
keep it. l do not know anything
that is going to stop it. l will
tell You what l would like to
see-that is, the enactment of
a law taking away the legal
tender quality from gold. The
silver men would then get what
they want, but you would not
find gold depreciating in value.
A dollar in gold is worth a
dollar, whether it has a stamp
on it certifying this to be true,
or whether an amount weighing
what is contained in dollar is
in a lump. But the same can
not be said of silver.
"Mr. NYhitney's statement
was excellent. but it came too
late. / do not see that it is go.
ing to have any deterrent effect
upon silver men. l began
throwing down the gauntlet a
year ago. 1 have not decided
which way ] shall cast my vote.
That is u matter l shall deter
mine when the time comes.
Until then I am not going to
give any thought to it.

$4,000 FIRE ct CALVES
ION.
Mallory Line Sheds And the
Docks Burned to Ashes.

Galveston, Tex, July .
Galveston was visited by a
$4,000 fire this afternoon.
The Mallory line sheds, extend
ing from pier "a to pier %,
burned together, with their con-
tents. A train of twenty-six
empty freight cars standing on
the track was consumed. The
fire started at tAe foot Of TWEEN
lty-fifth street and spread in
both directions. The tiremen
could make no Roadway, and
the flames licked up everything
in reach.
The sheds were owned by
the Mallory line, but the dock
burned was the property of
the Wharf Company. The
largest shed was 1900 feet long
by 100 feet wide. The next
largest was 400 feet long. In
the main shed were stored five
thousand bales of jute and a
large amount of bagging, ties
and general merchandise. All
the sheds were frame.
Spontaneous combustion is
given as the origin of the fire.
Smoke was seen issuing from
the jute in the warehouse and
soon the jute burst into flames
and burned like finder
The secretary of the wharf
company says wharves and
sheds will be rebuilt at once.
The loss and insurance is as
follows: Galveston Bagging
and Cordage Company, 500
bales of jute in Labadie ware
house, loss s25, 666; insurance,
s25, 900.
The total loss of the Mallory
line is S47,5 500, as follows:
West warehouse, $500; steam
er shed, $4,000; injury to ware
house foot of Twenty-fourth
street, $1,000; injury to city
shed, $1,000; machinery, such
as trucks, gangways and stag
ing, $1,000; 125 bales of cotton,
$4,000; 40S bales Of wool and
673 sacks of wool, $4,000.
The Mallory. loss is fully COW
cred by insurance, all placed
with Beers, Kenison & Co., but
in what companies the local
manager of the Mallory Com
pany does not know.
The Gulf, Colorado & Santa
Fe lost twenty-five freight cars,
valued at $4,000. There were
100000. pounds of wool on these
cars consigned to the Mallory
line, loss $4,000; fully insur-
ed.
The s25, 600 insurance on the
lutte was placed with Beall &
Harris. The other insurance
was placed with Hughes 6
Stowe and Charles R. Brown.
A small steam yacht at the
foot of Twenty eighth street
was burned. The damage tc
the wharves, which is covered
by insurance, is estimated al
$4,000.

Lehigh Valleys Big Deal,

The announcement has just been

1t is the intention of the new own

The preliminary survey for this road
has already been made. The new
company takes possession on March

Big Circulation Not All.

The following extract from News
paperdom might have been written
especially for the COLUMBIAN, SO well
does it apply. The circulation of the
COLUMBIAN is of that class that brings
steady and remunerative returns to
steady advertisers.
A large circulation Of the right sort
is generally desirable. A fairly repre-
sentative circulation, in the field
sought to be covered, is essential to
good advertising business. "
Advertisers are not placing SO much
reliance upon circulation alone. They
are adopting other tests of advertising
value. They are looking for such
definite returns as will justify the ex-
penditure of their money. 1t amounts
to nothing to advertise in a medium
that brings no returns, whatever its
gross circulation may be, and some
such sentiment is pretty sure to be
embodied in the intelligent advertis-
er's reply to solicitors argument
about the number of copies printed.
1t is only necessary to take look
over the newspaper field to be con-
vinced of the truth Of the contention
that it is character rather than mere
size that makes circulation valuable

acter of the paper.
