MANGLED HANDS.

E. V. Debs recently visited a furniture
factory in Michigan where children work
on saws and knives driven by steam. The
children get tired and careless, for they
ought to be playing or at school. Mr..
Debs asked them to hold up their right
hands in favor of some proposition and
out of Sc hands, there not a whole
hand One or more fingers had been cut
off by the whirring blades. Legislators do
not need a better argument than this for
the enactment of laws suppressing child
labor.-Little Falls Herald.

OF the eyes of the Indian Chief Joseph.
OF the Nez Perces (nose-pierced) In
dams, is in New York and thus speaks
to newspaper reporter:
This east is strange to me. I do not
understand 1t at all. The green of the trees
and the grass is not here. The quiet of
the woods is missing. 1t is all dirt and
noise and hurry, and the people are
strange. 1 notice many things as 1 walk
and they puzzle me. The white men have
put up buildings which one cannot see the
top of. They tell me people stay there and
labor during the day. L have had white
men who know the ways Of their fellows
tell me many strange things. 1 can under
stand little English myself, but I cannot
speak any. The white men are very Won
derful and skillful to do some of these
things. They send the cars along on a rope
and the buildings up into the sky. They
have railroads in the air, and they go up
and down the buildings without moving
themselves. L have heard much of these
wonders in Washington, and one or two
of them I saw in Portland once. But here
in New York it is all wonders, and do not
understand how the people live. 1t ir good
for me to see these things before die and
so l must see them now. for 1 do not ever
expect to leave my people for so long
again.
The Indian is satisfied with his lot
today. The white man has won all he has
got and from hating him we have come
to love him. There were too many white
men for the Indians to rule, so the whites
won the Indians place 1t is all over now

Insurance

The regular meeting of the Los An
geles Board of Fire Underwriters was
held this afternoon, about thirty agents be-
Ing present. President r. G. Lunt occupied
the chair. The principal business OF the
meeting appeared to be to exchange views
upon the burning question of reduced COM
missions. After considerable discussion
a resolution was unanimously carried In
favor of sending committee from this
association to San Francisco for the pur-
pose of comforting with the executive
committee of the state organization of
Mr.. r. b. Stephens, secretary of the local
board, was appointed as such committee.
The sentiment expressed was to the ef-
feet that while such cities as Alameda,
Oakland. Berkeley and Portland. Ore. are
on the excepted list, where agents are al
lowed to receive 20 per cent, 1t is a rank
injustice to put Los Angeles on a smaller
rate of compensation.
A resolution was also carried, with only
two dissenting voices. pledging the mem
bers not to sign any agreement with San
Francisco managers by which they con-
sented to the Is per cent compensation.
1t would have been interesting If the
members present had stated what practice
they had adopted In sending In their
monthly statements and the rate of COM
mission which they had charged up.
1t Is reported that resolution has been
introduced In the Board of Underwriters
of the Pacific Coast for the purpose of
abolishing all second agencies in Los An
geies and that the resolution stands a
good chance Of being adopted.

ON 'CHANaE
What Was Done Yesterday on Wall
Street

NEW YORK, May 25.-There was more
animation shown in the dealings on the
stock exchange today than for many
weeks past, and some buying by commits
sion house agents gave evidence of slight
awakening of outside interest in the mar
kets. Sales for the day reached an ag-
gregate of over 2OO0 900 shares, and were
much better distributed through the list
than has been the case in recent trading.
There was display of considerable
strength which carried most stocks at
one rate or another above last nights
closing, but sales for profit-taking were
heavy and carried prices down at the
close. The market is still in the control of
professional traders, and their tactics Off
set the elements Of strength. New Jersey
Central gave evidence of having reached
point of resistance to further deprecia-
ton. and the shorts were driven to rather
strenuous exertions to cover Sugar was
strong. on the belief that the explanation
offered of the sugar schedule Of the tariff
bill In the senate would help its chance
OF passage. The tone of speculation gen
orally showed considerable confidence, va
rious causes contributing to this feeling

denying the right of the Interstate COM
merce commission to fix railroad rates,
still exercised favorable influence on
railroad values, not on account of the i'm

to the belief that It secures advocacy by
the commission of a law to authorize
railroad pooling. The weakening Of the
exchange market during the day was also
regarded as an encouraging factor in the
general outlook. and account was also
taken of the weeks statement of the
merchandise exports from New York
showing total of SO. 127, 1885, an increase
OF $3.50 4SO over last week and of $2031, 1872
over last year. This large expansion of
exports is looked to help Offset the heavy
imports in anticipation of the new tariff
and to help adjust the exchange balance.
Statements of railway earnings were also
good.
The bond market displayed quite an
activity In the late trading. and sympa-
thzed In the decided rally which occurred

were $780, 900. Governments gained slight

The stock markets here were irregular
today and inclined to be dull on the expec-

the dullness was English rails. the set

large bull account and high cantangoes,

further reaction in kaffirs. Cantangoes
on Americans were at ~ per cent. Today's

more is to go. The operation is difficult to
understand, as the best informed people
do not wholly connect it with currency
plans. The Paris bourse was steady after
dullness, and the Berlin market was

OFFICE OF THE HERALD,

The Investments made by the large prop
erty owners of this city in real estate
located upon the principal business streets
are made profitable precisely in proportion
to the care and foresight with which they
are managed. The day has gone by when
piece Of property may be neglected and yet
a large return upon It's original cost be
secured. AS the city extends itself, SO the
area Of the retail business trade FROM
which the largest returns In rents are re-
ce,ved. becomes enlarged, and is liable to
drift altogether, as has been witnessed Of
late years, during which the central point
Of the retail business has moved from the
function of Main and Spring streets as
far south as Second and Spring.
No other municipal Improvement is Of
equal Importance with the condition Of the
streets. Our pavements are the first OBJ
jects to attract the attention and criti-
cism Of visitors and intending investors.
Even as the condition of mans linen
gives token of his habits OF personal clean
illness, so the condition of a city's streets
give evidence for or against the thrifty
care and economical management OF its
governing officials. There Is no economy in
letting streets go to ruin for want of re-
pairs, nor in allowing poorly patched.
uneven and unclean thoroughfare to ex-
list in front of the highest priced and best
improved business property in the city.
Take Main street, for example, along
that part of It which contains the most
valuable improvements, say from the
Plaza to Ninth street. The condition of the
pavement along this route is disgraceful.
The proposition has been made to re-
surface the asphalt portion of 1t running
from First to Ninth, and big protest has
been filed against incurrng such an ex-
pense. 1t hardly seems possible that the
men who have signed this protest are
aware Of the comparative insignificance
Of the amount for which the street can be
transformed into an elegant boulevard,
and 1t is incomprehensible that any capi-
talist owning an improved frontage, worth
say quarter of million dollars. should
object to the expenditure of few hund-,
reds for such a necessary work.
The actual cost of resurfacing would
not exceed 10 cents per square foot, and
the consequent expenditure to the signers
of the protest would consequently approx
innate not to exceed the amounts herein

CHICAGO MARKETS
The Days Transactions on the Board
Of Trade

CHICAGO, May 25-Wheat opened firm
at about the price it closed at yesterday,
because the French country markets
we're quoted partially franc higher. Liv-
erpoo, on the other hand, opened 1ad
lower, and the next quotation noted some
transactions at a further I'd decline. Re-
ceipts at Minneapolis and Duluth were
heavy, the total number of cars at the
two places being 832 against 514 on the
corresponding day Of the year before The
firmness which started on the strength
reported in French markets was shaken,
when about half an hour from the OPEN
ing, the st. Louis market broke to 1c per
bushel below the price it closed at yester-
day, and New York sent dispatches about
the same time claiming a decline in Paris
equal to 1Ac per bushel. These matters
kept the market fiuctuating within mar
row range during the morning. July
opened shade higher, at 71AQ71ssc de-
clined to Tic, recovered to 11as@711ac then
down to 70%c and back again to 71xc in
that time. Closing cables gave the net
decline for the day at Liverpool at 1sd
each for May and July I'd for September.
Bradstreet. which was expected to show
decrease in the worlds stocks for the
week of about 1,750.000 bushels, reported
Only $4,000 bushels decrease. In the last
half hour a break which appeared impend-
ing all forenoon, but only materialzed on
the receipt of Bradstreet's report, carried
July down to 70ssc, and it closed at 7O1Ac
A line Of about 100000 bushels, supposed
to be long wheat, was sold at from Tic
down to 70%c. The most of that fell into
the hands of scalpers. who, in parting
with 1t again, caused the further decline,
Corn was moderately active and weak.
