With further big advance in Wheat
prices of Flour again enhanced 1Oc.Gl15c
per barrel. In some instances as much
as 25c.m y40c. stood between buyers and
sellers. Demand was very cautious,
and, as a rule, the trade was able to
satisfy its limited requirements from
second hands. Quotations were largely
nominal. Spot Bran was scarce and
firm, with choice stock wanted. Desir-
able Hay was kept closely sold up at full
prices. Straw was in moderate supply
and demand at former rates. Refined
Sugars were quiet and steady Wheat
again sharply advanced, and at D. IN.
was Sc. above last evening rates. There
was an active covering demand from
shorts in all domestic grain centres, and
offerings were light with sellers indiffer-
ent. Cables were decidedly higher and
demand from exporters was good, but
business was difficult to work because of
the small supplies and rising views of
holders. Corn options were c. up on
call, in sympathy with wheat. Cables
| advanced and export demand was good
with sales of 10000 bushels No. .
mixed on private terms Local car lots
advanced &c. owing to scarcity. Oats
were in light supply and firm, but ruled
quiet. Cotton advanced l-l6c. per pound.

FRENCH ARMY ETHICS.

General ChanOine has performed ut least one
real public service in France. He has authori-
tatiyely exposed the animus of the army, or or
o. part of the army against the eel Govern
ment He resigned his portfolio as Minister OF
War because his colleagues IN the Cabinet were
about to emphasize the fact that in their opln-
ion the military power must in time Of peace be
subordinate to the civil, and he declares that he
did not demand the prosecution of the papers
which have attacked the army because he did
not deem the penalties provided by the law
sufficient. That is perfectly Informing and COM
prehensive He thinks the army should ut all
times be superior to the civil Government, and
that TO crticse 1t should be leze-ma csty.
France should not be a republic but a military
despotism and there should he no freedom Of
the press That is not his opinion alone. 1t is
the opinion of the whole cabal which has been
clamoring against revision of the Dreyfus case
and raging, often with mob violence. against
what it is pleased to term the insults heaped
upon the army" Upon the monstrous charac-
ter of the first part Of that creed we need not
dwell II Is obvious TO every one who believes
In free Institutions. To the second part Of 1t
some passing attention mny be paid.
1t would be unfair to the French Army to ig
more the fact that some scandalous attacks have
been made upon II In the press. They have
been, indeed, almost as bad as the attacks upon
the civil authorities which have been made by
some Of the papers which pose az the cham
pions of the army. Freedom of tile press in
France. az elsewhere now and then degenerates
into license. That is not to be denied. But
taking the case at it, very worst the law which
is good enough for civilians ought 10 be good
enough for soldiers. II civilian is libelled he

lection or that special penalties ought to be I'm

SOTND MONEY AT STAKE.

"The New-YorlS Evening Post" publishes an
able and convincing article urging the re-elec
tion Of John Murray Mitchell to Congress in the
With District of this State on the ground that
# Is IN matter of National concern that he
should be reelected" for the sake OF sound
money. II declares that as member or the
Uouse Committee on Banking and Currency ana
Of the subcommittee which prepared the NC
Cleary Currency Reform bill he rendered valu-
able service OF this bill 1t says:
u embodied the views Of the best thinkers anu
the most prudent statesmen OF the country; -.

members Of the committee and Is now redu! =.
be reported to the House and acteo upon. -
there ia to be any such thing as currency re-
form If there is ever to be quietus put upoi,
the agitation for unlimited silver ana unllfniteu
creenhacks II must be reached by the passage
of this bill Other measures may perhaps ne
more scientific and this measure may Ne sun
open to useful amendment. but no other Is hkeiy
to command the requisite numDer OF 'o'es "
become practically effective. For this reason the
CITY Of New-York ought 10 keep Mr.. Mitchell IN
Congress.
This reasoning Is excellent. II there IS to be
any currency reform 1t must be reached through
the passage of currency reform bill. ana 10
PASS n bill requires votes. Therefore 1t Is impor-
tant that Mr.. Mitchell should be reelected III
the bill he has helped to prepare Is to pass the
House of Representatives 1t is necessary to have
q Republican majority in that body, ana there
are thirty-three other sound-money candidates
IN this State who ought to be elected to secure
currency reform, And if the reform bill is to
become n law It Is necessary that 1t should pass
the Senate which at present is in the control or
the Siverites Therefore it is highly important
for the preservation of the gold standard to re-
tire Senator Murphy and elect sound-money
man in his place That can only be done by
choosing n Republican Legislature on Novem-
Der g.
For the sake of sound money not only MI
Mitchell but thirty-three other Republicans
should be sent to Congress- and Legislature
should be secured which will see that no vote
of the Empire State shall be cast on the silver
side in the United States Senate.
And yet some people say 1t Is ridiculous for
Colonel Roosevelt to talk about sound money!
We are glad to note that THE Evening Post"
appreciates the correctness Of his position and
is as much convinced that sound money Is an
issue In the State and Congress election in New
York as 1t was convinced Of It's bearing last
June on a similar campaign in Oregon

Now comes a strong. clear voice to the con-
trarv effect. A great nation. victorious In

pjcjon of population of just debts in the Ameri-
can contention, nor hint at Sinking vaiid re-

principle that the one who contracts dent Is
the one who should pay it; and this, that
one cannot impose obligations upon another

people who have fought for and won their free

thcir former enslavement. Such principles
must prevail They do prevail. And II the

A COWARDLY ISLANDER.

..Detant 10 HI any office in the gift of The
"people." Then ne explained his reasons FOR
refusing to rcnominate him. and frankly said
that 1t was because he did not give Satisfaction
TO "tbe men who made him. and had not shown
rroper consideration to Tammany Hall Mt
Croker took particular occasion 10 disayow an!
intention to reflect upon Justice Days charac-
ter and ability. But that was in the early
stages of the campaign. before public indgna-
ton had maddencd Mr.. Croker. Since then he
has lost his senses.
A few days ago. in wild attempt to extrl-
cate himself from the position which he had as
sumed of claiming the right to control the ac-
tons of judges on the bench. he made a con
trary statement In 50 many words he declared
that Justice DAILY had mot been an upright
Judge" He has since bern asked to explain
that charge but he has refused to do So
II rests with Richard Croker to prove his
statement that Joseph +. DAILY Is not an upright
Judge. If he fails. he will brand himself ma
