Market Gossip.

Chicago: A Duluth message report
ed an extraordinary demand there for
cash wheat. Shipments today from
that port were over half a million ard
recent charters were for three times
that amount. And yet the Duluth mar
ket was about the last to respond of all
domestic markets. The price here has
advanced nearly 1Ac above Thursdays
closing before there was any advance
in Duluth and the northwest markets
have hardly kept pace with Chicago.
Chicago: It was cabled as an unus-
ual thing that a Manchester importer
resold a cargo of Russian wheat at
Odessa at 4 cents over the recent pur-
chase price. Sales of wheat for export
were given in New York messages at
40 boat loads. Cash sales here though
not fully confirmed, were about 49, 600.

coast; corn off coast quiet: on passage

tive; corn firmer.

WHOLE STREET FESTOONED
An Elaborate Plan Projected for Dec
grating Kansas Avenue.

If the Committee of Fifteen will see to
the procuring of sufficient evergreen,
TOpeka's streets along the line of
march can be prettily decorated for
Fall Festival week.
A prominent Topeka florist has this
matter now under Amusement and will
submit an offer for decorating the
streets to Mrs. c. S. Sutton, chairman
of the ways and means committee of
the Floral parade before the meeting
of the Floral committee next Thursday
afternoon. The offer will be brought
up and decided upon at the meeting
Thursday.
The plan is to completely entwine
the iron poles of the city railway with
evergreen and asparagus fern from the
bridge to Tenth street on Kansas ave
nue. and west on Tenth street to Har-
rison street. FestoOns of evergreen and
fern are also to be hung between the
poles and from the iron poles to the tel
egraph and telephone poles along the
sides of the streets. In addition to
these decorations four arches of ever
green are to be built at each of the
entrances to the capitol square.
With the streets decorated in this
way the effect would be pretty. If no
better plan is suggested this should be
accepted, as it is a most important fea-
ture to have the streets along at least
a portion of the line of march decor
ated nesOme becoming manner.
There must be two or more arches.

Chicago, Sept. II.
WHEAT-Was firm at the opening,
most of it's strength being derived from
the heavy coast clearances and Liver
pool cables, which came I'D higher
Northwestern receipts, however, again
overran those of last year and this fact
was effective. December opened I'M
changed at 599s @591Ac, advanced to
59s4c and declined on the northwest re-
cefpts to $3.50.
Then somewhat of a scramble fol-
lowed. A rumor was current that the
British cabinet had been hurriedly
called together on account of the Turk
ish situation received enough credence
to advance wheat in a short time to
6O9sc.
CORN-Was helped at the opening by
the cables and unfavorable weather. May
opened unchanged at 2414c and ad-
vanced to 249zc, the bulge in wheat be-
ing factor.
OATS-Were quiet and firm follow
ing corn and wheat. May opened I'M
changed at 1886 and advanced to 1910.

they had collected in premiums. The
examiner came to Topeka and after

million pounds in gold from Europe to

would be simply a gigantic loan which

quiry among the foreign houses which

such contemplated shipment. This was
not regarded as proving much, as the

A CAREFUL ESTIMATE.

Chicago Chronicle.
The platform, with its crudities. its
redundant and inconsequential YER
biage its prevarications, fallacies and
falsehoods, and with its single merit as
a superficial honest money declaration
has still to be interpreted by Mckinley
in his letter Of acceptance. There is
no doubt that to conciliate the boiling
silverites he will straddle and wabble,
evade and refine, dodge and equivocate,
until he reaches the conclusion that the
platform is as much in favor Of silver
as OF gold.
If Mckinley shall be elected preSi-
dent his four years term of office will
present an example Of disagreement
without a parallel in past history. It
will be a repetition on a larger scale
OF his weak and corrupt State admins
traton in Ohio. II will be a period Of
misrule and of riot for all the schemes
and conspiracies by which the treasury
is robbed or by which the people are
defrauded and oppressed. Popular IN
situations and our system of free gov
eminent through a pure ballot box will
be tested to their utmost capacity.
Under an administration Of McKin-
leyism the traffic in duties and subsi-
dies in patronage and spoils will be a
greater strain than that of slavery in
the past on the conservative forces of
honest Republican government.

New York Evening Post.
1t is we'll known, and is highly char
acteristic. that the choice of the Jew
ish Rabbi to deliver the opening prayer
at the st. Louis convention, was due
to wish not to offend the A. P. A. by
emploving a Catholic, nor the Catho-
lies by employing a Protestant. In
fact. the prayer was to be part OF the
general defensive humbug for which
the convention has BEEN held. We
doubt if any similar body has met in
the United States with less sincerity.
Mckinley is probably the first candl-
date for the Presidency whose friends
before the convention have had to con-
fine themselves to apologies, whom
hardly any one dared to praise, and
whose own language showed his unit
ness for the place; who refused TO speak
ont. lest he should anticipate the plat
form. vet secretly fought hard TO draw
the platform to suit himself; who is
surrounded by a mass Of gold men who
were silver men a week ago, and stands
on resolutions which the drafter and
he have been fighting for some years.
Lodge and he as gold men are sight
most offensive TO honest men. What
then must the whole spectacle. includ-
ing the Rabbits prayer, be TO the AL
mighty. whom ii is evidently intended
10 hoodwink along with everybody
else.

TRIUMPHANT PLUNDBRER.

Chicago Chronicle.
McKinleyism rather than Mckinley
is triumphant at st. Louis.
This explains the lack of enthusiasm,
the absence of great crowds and the
presence of a selfish and sordid spirit
in all the places where men congre-
gate.
Mckinley has none OF the elements
of true leadership. There is no mag
netism about him. He does not APP
peal to the imagination or the emotions
of men. He has been a commonplace
Congressman and an opera bouffe Gov
ernor. No party and no faction ever
has looked upon him as a leader. He
is the author of no phrase and no senti-
ment that has awakened thought or
inspired enthusiasm among the peo-
pie.
But his name is associated with the
most monstrous measure of taxation
ever imposed upon free nation-a
measure so foul and wicked that it was
twice repudiated by an outraged cleo
torate, and he is preferred now not be-
cause of his talents, but because the
cOmOln6u MOuOpOIlSlIC Interests VI lIe
country, working through the ignor-
ance. forgetfulness and prejudice of
self-seeking politicians, demand his
elevation.
A bankrupt in his private business
affairs. a colossal failure as Governor
of Ohio. in which position he fore
Swallowed the weakness of mind and
temperament which will scandalize his
administration if he becomes Presi-
dent, a Congressman who never had an
idea beyond his tariff monomania, and
a chairman Of the Ways and Means
Committee who prepared tariff bill
by presenting the manufacturing mon
opolists of the country with blank pa
per on which TO write their own sched-
ules of robbery, he unworthily profits
by the fact that his party has fallen in
to the hands of organized plunderers,
who ignore its intellectual chieftains
and look to him as plant tool for the
perpetuation Of further infamies.

PRAISES THE BOLTERS.


Denver Republican.
When he (McKinley) accepted the
nomination of the money power he
justly forfeited the respect and the sup
port of all true believers in bimetal-
lism, and we hold that the Colorado
delegates and others who went out
with them are entitled to the lasting
gratitude of their constituents for the
courage and independence they dis
played in this matter.
AS the chief representative of pro-
lection, Major Mckinley will prove a
popular candidate in the manufacture
ing centres OF the Eastern and Middle
States, where that policy is deemed
sufficient to insure a return of the pros
perity which the country enjoyed I'M
der President Harrison'S admiaistra-
ton, when we were adding S50,000,000
to our currency on account of purchases
of silver, but we believe that as the
campaign progresses the money ques
tion will rapidly become the leading
issue in every section, and if this
opinion is sound. it is wholly within
the range of probability that the plat
form and the ticket approved at st.
Louis yesterday will be defeated by the
largest majority in the history of Amer
lea"
