Commerce and Finance,

Flour ruled steady under moderate Of
ferings, but buyers operated only from
hanG to mouth, and trade was dull Spot
Bran was firm, with a fair inquiry for
choice stock. Hay was in moderate
supply, and desirable grades were stead
lily held, with receipts kept well cleaned
up. Straw was steady, with ample Of
ferings for the limited inquiry. Refined
Sugars were firm and in moderate de-
mand. Provisions sold chiefly in jobbing
lots on Il basis Of quotations. Wheat
opened firm and at | p. IN. was ic.,
higher than yesterdays final rates. The
rise was due. to the advance in Liverpool
cables, reports Of unfavorable weather in
Argentina for harve ting and threshing,
and liberal speculative buying lin other
domestic grain centres. Export demand
was light. Corn options left off on call
the same as last evenings rates. A fair
inquiry prevailed from exporters, but
bids were generally out of line with this
market. Nothing was done speculativelv.
Car lots for local trade were steady and
quiet. Oats in car lots were lower, under
a'slow demand and increased pressure to
sell. Cotton was unchanged.

IN ODOROUs KANAwHA.

Even the two Republican organs of
Kanawha county are bowling fraud
and corruption at each other. One is
the Mail and the other is the West
Virginian. The former is owned by
the public printer and the latter by
the clerk of the House of Delegates.
The war grows out of the exasper-
ating delay in the publication of the
acts of the last legislature, which is
causing very serious inconvenience and
embarrassment to lawyers and liti-
giants all over the Sta<e. The public
printer blames the clerk and makes all
sorts of insinuations and charges
against him. The clerk comes back in
a red-hot article in his paper daring
the public printer to take issue with
him before the grand jury and making
counter charges that are calculated to
raise a blister.
In celebrating upon the matter Clerk
Hood goes into certain details connect
ed with legislation during the last
corrupt session which are far more
damaging to the reputation of the last
legislature than the worst charges that
any Democrat has made in this con-
nection. And as clerk of the House
Of Delegates Mr.. Hood should know
whereof he speaks. He declares among
other things that
1t was an OPEN shameful secret, ban
died about the legislative halls at the last
session of the legislature, that some of
the most prominent men in the State who
attend legislative sessions as lobbyists.
had been retained, or rather bribed, to
assist in securing favorable action upon
the tremendous deficiency for State print
ing and the furnishing of stationery.

ATTORNEY GENERAL M'KENNA'S
DUTY.

Among those who are familiar with
Union Pacific affairs is Congressman
James Mcguire, of California, who
probably knows as much about it as
any man in the country. The history
of the enterprise is as we'll known to
him as are the details of tina disgrace
full transaction by which the govern
ments interest in the property is to re
sacrificed in payment of a political
debt and in aid of the oppressive
scheme of monopoly devised and being
prosecuted with such consummate skill
by ]. Pierpont Morgan.
In recent newspape interview
Congressman Mcguire said: The sale
of the Union Pacific Railroad should
not be allowed to proceed at present,
because the proposed sale for less than
enough to pay the entire amount due
the government is contrary to law, and
is therefore beyond the power of the
executive department of the govern
ment. There is no need of sacrificing
any Of the governments claim if the
Thurman act is followed. That pro-
vides for payment of the first mort
gage bonds by the Secretary of the
Treasury, and the holding and opera
ton of the road for account of the
government until further action con-
corning it by Congress. 1t could then
be offered for sale or otherwise dealt
with according to the judgment of
Congress"
The Secretary Of the Treasury would
not have to use a dollar to protect
government interests. A mere sugges-
ton to the court would, of course. Sc
cure postponement Of the sale. If the
court should refuse an order postpon-
ing the sale, an appeal could be taken
to the Supreme Court. This would de-
lay the sale until Congress could pass
upon the matter.
The order of sale would not have
been made but for the express consent
of the Attorney General. He has not
asked for delay. He can secure it if
he is willing to ask for it, 1t he be
not willing, then President Mckinley
could force him to do his plain duty
by simple peremptory order But
there is no likelihood that either the
President or McKenna will do any
thing to DELAY final consummation OF
the deal. McKinley's obligation to
the Morgan syndicate is too great to
permit him to do anything that u cal

THE UNION PACIFIC THEFT.

Two newspapers in New York and
one in Chicago, whose stock is owned
by the Morgan syndicate, which is try
ing to get hold of the Union Pacific
railroad for $4,000 900 less than will
cover the governments mortgage,
are, of course, doing all in their power
to muddle the popular mind. But the
proposed steal is so plain, the PROPOSE
100000 over the first mortgage, when
the governments claim is $53,000,000
over and above this sum, is SO clearly
a scheme to defraud the government
of $40 100000 that these papers owned
by the Morgan syndicate carefully
leave the main issue alone and howl
about the inadvisability of govern
ment ownership" of this railroad; and
in this crazy howl they are joined by
few minor administration organs
who are evidently laboring under the
impression that the papers owned by
the Morgan syndicate are administra-
ton organs defending the administra-
ton and that it is their duty to follow
suit on the same line regardless of the
fact that Mckinley would give most
anything if he were free of the obi
cations he owes this Morgan syndicate,
which contributed 100000 toward
his election in the last campaign. For,
if President Mckinley allows this 500
100000 steal to be consummated, his
name in all history will never rid it.
self of the foul stencil that will attach
to it.
The howl of the Morgan syndicate's
newspapers against government own
ership Of this road which is echoed
by a few of the smaller and less in
formed administration organs-such
as our Fourteenth street neighbor-is
foolish. 1t is not a question of the
government owning the Union Pacific
road, for even should it come to the
point where the government to pro-
tect itself would have to bid the $685.
100000 over its present holdings of
S53,0OO,O00, the Morgan syndicate
would instantly raise it's bid over the
sS6,00O,000 figure, which would cover
the governments claim. These first
mortgage Union Pacific bonds are all
he'd by Wall street and it is Wall
street, or, rather, the Morgan syndi-
proceedings. The stock of the Union
Pacific is worth to-day in Wall street
almost twice the sum asked to cover
the first mortgage and the govern
menqs claim. According to the latest
