 General S. E. Merwin as trustee upon the insolvent estate of Qulgley & Tut tie, the New York brokers, has filed his final report in the probate court, which shows that the estate will pay l3 mills on the dollar as a dividend, The liabilities of the concern were $2S7, ,299.- 04, and the trustee has been able to scrape up s, 73439 in assets. That will allow the payment of the IS mill divi- dend. A hearing will be held upon the acceptance of the report on next Tues day. If the report is accepted the af- fairs of this firm and of William F. Futile and Edwin O. Quigley will be finally disposed of. MT. Futile settled his individual estate by paying between 6 and : per cent. to his creditors. It was not thought that there would be any dividend from the estate of the | firm, for MT. Futile had severed his connection with it before Quigley con- tracted so many debts.

THE ST. LOUIS CONVENTIONS.

Tomorrow Is a day which the leaders OF
two OF the side-pocket parties have SET
apart for formulating a creed and for
deciding whether Mr.. Bryan shall or shali
not be the nominee Of the Populists. we
dislike the creed and the leaders OF the
Populists: but we do not fear them AT
all. They may do their worst without
hurting Mr.. Bryan, who has the popular
heart and the popular leadership. When
he speaks many thousands listen. we
quote a few interesting references to the
Populsts and the Middle Of the ROAD
men. Read and digest.
THE first class is the Populst, or those
who favor straight endorsement or
nomination OF Bryan. which viii bring

TIE NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS..

1t seems to the Dispatch that II would
be a foolish and cruel policy for our City
Council TO refuse to aid the State Agricul-
tural Society in securing renewal of its
loan. For the Council so to refuse would
mean that the society's grounds and
buildings would have to be sacrificed at
auction sale at a time when the real
estate market is not favorable for the
disposition Of large properties.
For the city TO guarantee the interest
upon the new bonds would involve no
great risk. The society's income from the
property IS nearly sufficient to meet the
annual interest charge proposed. Further
more, Richmond has now greater in
terest. direct and Indirect. than ever
before in the welfare Of the society, since
we have lately spent a large sum OF
money in building an auditorium upon
the grounds.
Certainly. it would SEEM to be good
financial policy for the city TO help the
society now. and wait a better day for
dissolving its relation with It, If that
should appear 10 be the best policy TO
pursue.

THE BoLTING PAPERS.

Let none Of our readers be unduly dis
turbed by the length or apparent impos-
ingness Of the list OF so-called Demo
cratic papers that have bolted' the nonli-
nation Of Bryan and sewall.
Few Of these papers are published In
states where they can do our nominees
much harm. and many are papers that
have bolted the party before and are
called Democratic only by courtesy. Few
indeed. we repeat. are the staunch, re-
liable. steady-going Democratic papers
that have left US.
Some Of the papers included in the list
have never said they would bolt. though
they have expressed their objections to the
party's platform. Others. that spoke hast
ilv are now rectifying their positions. and
by the day Of election will be pouring
"hot shot" into Mckinley, II they can not
make I'D their minds to plead the cause OF
Rrvan direct. SO we would advise our
readers not to permit themselves to be
disturbed in mind by that newspaper list.
In good time. no doubt, the list VIII be
revised by competent hands, and the
nublic will see then that of the boiling
napers only a few have been y NO. l.
