Regulating the Hucksters.

To the Editor of The Times:
Please allow me to say a word on behalf
OF the hucksters. They should be permitted
to cry their wares loud enough to be heard
within the houses they pass. but not in fog
horn tones for the benefit OF the people
on the next block. They should also be re-
stricted to reasonable hours, say from a.
m. to p IN. The police regulations should
be amended. AS they now read too much
discretion is left to the police.
To arrest a hardworking huckster and
fine him Tor in default send him to the work
house, for conducting his businessi in the only
way that is practicable, and at the same
tirne to allow idle persons to sing, whistle or
yell on the street at all hours, day and night,
is a travesty upon Justice.
If huCksters are not allowed to cry their
wares they will ring door bells, W hich is
far greater annoyance as any housekeeper
will testify. THOMAS W. GILMER.

In spite of the downpour of rain quite

spontaneity about the salvo that greeted
each of the players that beiokened ac-
quaintance and pieasurable remembrance
of what little they have been seen to do.
.'Niobe" was the bill last night, and 1T
must have been gratifying TO every one

wall street Yesterday

New York, May 24.-The decision OF the
Supreme Court 10 fix maximum rates Tor
traffic does not rest with tile Interstate
Commerce Commission must be regarded
as an important ruling, not only on account
OF its technical bearing, but because OF
its effect upon general sentiment. which
was so badly disconnected by the lnterple-
tation placed upon the antitrust law by the
courtinfts decisioni n the hetransmissourica case
The street had counted upon favorable
decision in the so-called Nebraska maxi
mum rate case, but no decision was handed
down, hence the matter will go over until
the October term.
There was some disappointment a the
postponement OF the decision, but, while a
favorable result was also expected there,
the present condi tons will be maintained
by the standing njuncti against the
State in the meantime, and the effect OF
favorable decision viii, after all, only
be to maintain the status quo.
The stocks during the forenoon were ir-
regular, as it was known in certain quar-
ters that Nc decision would be handed
down today, and it was calculated that
TIE postponement would be hurtful TO the
market, as much less attention has been
sion case on the same general lines.
The market w also unfavorably affected
by further declines in the anthracite stocks
aud by the Encouragement for exportof $780,
600 dollars in gold, in addition TO the $780,
900 announced last week The amount was
in excess of recent estimates, but OF the
total 81 $50 900 was obtained by the ship
ping banking house from private sources
and will thus not affect the Treasurys gold
balance.
Upon the announcement OF the Supreme
Courts decision firmer tone at once de-
veloped, which was most pronounced liz the
granger group, though more or less shared
in by the whole list, including the anthra-
cite stocks. The sharp recovery in the last
named was Doubtless in part Teferable 10

of those stocks In the loan market, Jersey

Spies in the Departments.

Spies in the Departments.
To the Editor of The Times:
From a recent issue of the Milwaukee
Telegraph 1 clip the following;
Gen Alger has dispensed with the services
of the spies employed during the Cieve-
land administration To see that the men
in the War Department performed their
duties and worked the proper length of
time. Gen. Alger says that man VINO
Will not do his duty as an empioye is
not tit TO be employed by the Govern
ment. That is right.
Your own paper made similar an
nouncement some two weeks ago, and thus
called attention to an important method
of treating employees. Gen. Alger is To
be congratulated upon this advanced step.
HIS example needs to be Initiated in other
departments Of the public service.
This system OF espionage is based upon
the false and dannable conception that
human beings are to be controlled by an
appeal to slayish fear rather than by
their love of justice and right. By 1T
ladies and gentlemen OF character and
standing are bounded by class OF beings
having the nature of the hyena and the
instincts OF buZzard. 1t may, possibly,
be justified in military life, where the
individual Is nothing but mere machine,
but not In civil life. 1t requires but an
ordinary degree Of talent. 1t demands
some brain with the moral element elm
mated. II requires a disordered liver in
stead of generous heart; check instead
OF intelligence; impudence instead of con-
science; and the natural and acquired
tastes OF the assassin rather than the
traits Of patriot and a gentleman.
This system OF spying was not confined
to the Cleveland administration nor TO the

Chicago. May 24.-Wheat traders today
were bullish and bought on French crop
news. 1t has been of all kinds, but buIiSh
in the main. Estimates of decrease IN
the crop ranged from 10000 200 bushels
TO $4,000 900 bushels. The advance of
1-2c 20 I2c in Paris has confirmed
reports of damage, and there have been
some buying orders here from abroad. The
French news has overshadowed everything
in the way OF bear influences The large
increase in the worlds shipments and on
passage, the heavy receipts in the Northwest
(621 cars, against SOS cars last year., and
improved crop prospects from the winter
wheat, as well as from California and
from the Northwest, counted for little.
There was disappointment atthe decrease
of only AL 900 bushels in the visible,
when traders had expected 100000 or p
100000 bushels. Local stocks decrea Sed
$50 900 bushels and are down to 6, 100000
bushels. Withdra walls from store are SS,-
900 bushels, and receipts only six cars.
In the face of this news there has been
only small local trade. The shorts have
bought freely and the bears OF last week
have taken the bull side. st Louis was
a good seller early. but on tile first break
became a buyer. New York has been OH
