WHEAT STILL SOARING.
Foreign Rumors Cause Fluctuations
That Stimulate Speculation.

Chicago, Sept. 1O-September wheat
sold at dollar today. December came
within q of that figure at one time, but
declined before the close to 9S, an ad-
vance of Ac. since yesterday. Septem-
ber closed at 9S1s, strong foreign mar
kets, seaboard engagements and ru-
mors of a reduction in the French
wheat tariff, were the bullish features,
the reaction being caused by realizing
sales.
Wheat was in good demand at the
start, about 1sc. improvement only as
closing prices for December and one
cent for September For a surprising
defunct deal, September exhibited a
surprising degree of activity and
climbed up to 81 within a moment or
two of the opening, when the price was
99la. December was decidedly erratic.
From 9Sb to 9SA to begin with, it rose
to 9S5s, turned around and went back
again to 9Sls. Then it dropped to 979s
and rose from that in a gradual way
to 97%, From the latter point to 99A
was the work of about twenty minutes
and those fluctuations were all within
the first two hours of the session.
The rally was caused primarily by
an advance Of l 2-3 cent in the price at
Liverpool at the opening.
New York, Sept. 10.-Wheat pursued
an erratic course today, finally wind
ing up at ha4c. net uecline. There
were two periods of decided strength
during which December touched s1O3,
or within IA of the highest point of the
year. The first occurred at the opening
and was based on foreign buying, to-
gether with a firmer set of cables. On
subsequent sharp decline local trad
ers accumulated a good-sized short in
| terest, which was later run in by a
rumor that the French duty was about
to be reduced. Following this rise was

THE MARKETS.
Wall Street Review.

New York, Sept. 10.-Today's market
was strong almost without variation but
in an irregular degree in different parts
of the list. Realizing sales at one time
depressed the average price a fraction
below last nights close, the extreme net
decline being shown by Louisville, Is; New
Jersey Central q, Missouri Pacific Is, and
Northern Pacific, preferred, Ss. In addi-
tion there were some sharp declines from
the best before the close. The net gains
for the day all through the list are the
more notable in view of these facts. There
was little news of a special character be-
yond what was confirmatory of facts al
ready known. Total sales were go, 900
shares.

A Sample Of Democratic Tariff Consistency

The Democrats say that if the duty
is taken off of raw cotton or put on the
ties they will oppose the measure. This
does not mean simply that they will
vote against it. They did that after
they had got the duty on these articles
fixed to their liking.
No, they will not be content with put
ting their votes on record but propose
to Indefinitely delay by flibusterlng
They assert they do not believe in pro-
lection but they are willing for the
sake of putting a duty on product, a
considerable part of which they already
sell in a foreign market, to delay the
entire tariff measure, for no one knows
how long q time, and then after it may
be passed with all the concessions they
demand TO condemn it and discredit il
in every possible way.

Making a Religion for Japan.

There is somewhat peculiar flavor
to the report that the learned men OF
Japan contemplate the manufacture of
new religion, and that they are led
to take this step by reason of the libcr-
alizing influence of the Christian mis-
sionaries.
1t is said the savants of Toxic and
some of the other large Japanese cities
have been studying the problem of the
greater growth of the Occident as com
pared with the Orient. and that they
have arrived at the conclusion that the
strictcr morality obtained under Chris
tianity is accountable in large degree.
In this view of it they propose to
build up new religion for Japan, TAX
ing a bit from Christianity and another
piece from Buddhism and a patch from
what they may deem the best princi-
pies of each into a new religious sys-
TEN. If ii isn't a patch work. crazy
fabric when completed many will be
surprised but if the people be given

lead better lives than now the results
will on the whole be gratifying.

VOICES OF THE PRESS.
Utility Of Spanking.
(Springiield Republican,

(SprinSiield Republican,
Admirable indeed was the courage
and fervor with which Prof. Albion W.
Small of the sociological department
of the University Of Chicago spoke in
behalf of corporal punishment at the
meeting of the national association of
teachers in Milwaukee, Wednesday.
The corporal publishers are now in a
minority in educational circles, and,
therefore, If by dropping the old meth
DDS OF discipline the public schools are
losing anything worth retaining. it is
we'll for such man as Prof. Small to
speak out That he feels strongly on
this question appears from this ex-
tract from his address:
There is mistaken policy in the
operation of some of our schools, how
ever, which is doing what it can, and it
Is much. To make not patriots. but an
archists. Ii is the policy of practically
leaving to pupils themselves To fix the
standard of their own conduct That is
right which they consent to treat as
right. and nothing is positively binding
upon them unless they agree. We are
covering il up with fine phrases but
the fact is that a great many schools
have surrendered to the unwise par
ents, who have previously capitulated
to their unruly children. The abolition
of corporal punishment in schools is
only an incident in this surrender. The
policy of which abolition Of corporal
punishment is an accident is virtual
treason against sovereign moral law"
To stop short Of downright compul-
sion in H,.ntinFr wit children iAfara.
they have developed the habit of eff
fective morality is simple anarchsm,
says the professor who then adds this
vigorous sentence:
The idea that the childs skin is too
sacred to smart for social offenses. or
that correction and compuision do him
deeper wrong than his unbridlcd law
lessness intlict both on himself and So
ciety, is an unsocial creed than which
know none more insidiously immoral"
The question of corporal punishment
isn't settled yet, and it won't he right
away so long as men like Prof. Small
Will talk SO uncomprofnisingly in its
favor It's just as well to keep the
question open, for the youth of the Goth
century may need some stringent doses
now ana then. There are plenty of
signs around that our boys and girls
may he getting too much moral sua-
sion for their health"

President Mckinlcy's determination
to revoke Mr. Clevcland's order reduc-
ing the number of pension agencies
from Is to 9 is altogether in the pub
lie interest. The proposed consolida-
ton of agencies would have served no
useful purpose: it would have caused
untold Inconvenience to pensioners; it
would have put the government TO an
immediate expense of more than $l00,
000. and would have resulted in no ulti-
mate reduction in the yearly cost of
the pension service. Most of the things
that Mr.. Cleveland did with regard to
the pension system might better have
been left undone, and this was con-
spicuously one of that sort
