to the interests Of corporations. Who
shall compute the amount paid by the
railroads Of Kansas, the school book
trust, the stock yards trust, the liquor

dawning upon the people who are being
ROBBED by their dishonest representa-
tives, and who are paying for the priv
ilege Of being robbed in additional char
ges in transportation, etc, that the evils
which have come upon US are the result
of public utilities being controlled by pri-
vata interests for private gain, and that
the state, or people collectively, could az
once purify the muddy pool of politics,
remove the temptation from the tempter
and the tenptable, and have much be-
ter service and much better facilities by
taking these services, these facilities
from the corrupting hands of private
corporations, whose privileges are en-
throned by purchased law. Under our
present system, every member of So
ciety. whether consumer or producer,
must contribute 10 dishonesty and plum
der. Let no opprobium be cast upon
party, no word Of reproach be hurled at
temper or tempted. They are the pro-
Ducts of the age, the victims of condi-
tons which are forcing themselves upon
us, but let us as rational men and wo-
men work for and apply the only rem

agement by the people collectively Of

MARY ELIZABETH
HIS TALE

Man that is born of woman is small
potatoes and few IN a hill. In infancy
he is full of collie and catnip tea, and in
old age he is full OF cuss words and bad
whisky. In his youth his mother taketh
him across her knee and sweeteneth his
life with her slipper, and when he is a
man grown the sheriff pursueth him
through the alleys and all the days Of
his life.
He speadeth like bay tree. He get
teth into office and his friends cling
about him like flies TO a sugar barrel.
He swelleth with vanity. He cutteth
much ice for time but he is hewn
down at the next convention and cast
into the salt box and his name is
boomers. Out of office and without
friends he soon goeth busted. He lieth
down in the COW pasture beside the still
waters of the brook. He goeth TO sleep
and a neighbor's goat eateth the last
shirt from his back. He dieth out Of the
world and goeth where it is warm
enough without clothes and the last end
of that man is worse tEan the first.

Words for the G. A. r. Historians
to Digest.


When President Z. B. Andrews of
Brown University, came out in favor of
the silver coinage propaganda, he at
least, and with all men, established his
character for courage and honesty Of
convictions Such views as he avowed
were quite as unpopular and unprolita-
bic in Rhode Island as gold bogism is in
Mississippi. That he was not victim
to the ayowal of his belief was only ow-
ing to the fact that intolerance and os-
tracism proved unequal to love of the
right Of free speech. But until this
proof was made, he was believed to
have sacrificed his honorable and lucra-
tive position beyond reclamation, for
his belief
The point Of this reference is q recent
and an eqeallE conspicuous exhibition
Of courage and love of truth by Pres
ident Andrews; one which should
enlist for him the applause Of every
sontherncE at least He lectured few
days ago upon the war III Chicago. The
following is the report Of the Times

DR., b. Benjamin Andrews, president
OF Brown University, proclaimed Gen.

Kobt, L. Lee the most valiant and most
heroic military genius of modern times
from the stage of Central Music Hall
last night. He did not discredit the
bravery and valor of the leaders under
whom he himself fought. He gave the
head OF the Confederate army more
glroy because he had to face killing
problems in addition to the or binary
puzzles OF the soverest fight that history
Inows. The Grafton was one Of mas
terful eloquence, delivered bya man
pullt for an orator, with rolling voice
and the presence Of a giant He spoke
with an air Of powerful and firmest
conviction. There were many in the
audience who saw readily how he stood
before the trustees of his institution
last summer and told them he would
recall his resignation and become pres.
ldaat again with the understanding
that he was to think and act Az he had
thought and acted or might thing OF act
In the future on matters of public in
terest. The trustees agreed.
DIR. Andrews talked in Eyanston IN
the afternoon. His theme there was
Gen William Tecumseh Sherman. He
took occasion to give the man who was
called crazy at the beginning Of the
var the honor Of executing the culmi-
nating feature--the march to the sea.

Grain Letter.

Birmingham Sept. 17.-Whs at opened this morning about 1sc over last nights close, influenced by higher cables from Liverpool, which se=md to ignore our decline of yesterday while Paris wheat was shade lowsr. The impression seemed to prevail among the big profss- sionals that the Liverpool market was manipulated, hence they paid very little attention to it after the ops ming, and with a general bearish feeling in the pit wheat very soon lost it's advance II was also helpsd probably by the large northwestern receipts, 1,013 cars Paris and Liverpool both cabled reports of damage to the Argentine crop by hot weather and locusts, which may account for the strong market in Liverpool and their steady clos= at % to 1Ad advance for the day, but Paris wheat was quoted 1A cents lower with Antwerp about the same. The market later declined still more, largely on weakness in contin ntal cables and closes weak at about the low point.
 Clearances were small on 350 000 bush els wheat and flower. Indications are for an increass of about 100000 in the visible next Monday. The London Re- view estimates market requirements of Europe and importing countries at 47O,- 100000 bushel. Reports from Odessa say that the large grain houses there have lost heavy by the advance in wheat and that several of them have suspend ed. Tha demand at the seaboard to- day was reported small as was also the cash demand here. These latter conditions caused a general all-round bearish feeling led by the declins in grain. The real feature of weakness in corn seems to be the cash situation with cash corn cents below December, when the December decline means new corn which should be 1 or cents below the cash article a number of the big SD 5culators who were selling a little the early part of the week, finding the market yielded so easily, have been crowding their sales and the result is the lowest pric@ corn has seen for some time. The talk about frost and other damaging feature had no potency what ever in sustaining the price against the offerings and raids of the bear element
