plains. Is illustrated with an interest

When the Sangamon County grand
Jury takes up the bribery cases against
the Gas Trust and Warehouse people
II will also indict many legislators for
perjury on their oath Of Office.
Although this oath 10 administered to-
1853 citizens of Illinois every two years
It IL not commonly known that each
Representative not only lifts his right
hand and s0lemnly swears to do his
duty, etc., but he also signs his name to-
the oath Of Office which closes with the
following sweeping oath.bound prom

"Nor win I accept or receive. directly

But u man whose ability ana heart

Hope Reed Cody was not In politics

He was not In politics for office.
He was In politics and In public life
as matter Of duty, Just rs he was In
all the other relations Of life dutlful
and sincere.
He will be greatly missed.
Not only by those to whom he was
bound by all those endcaring ties Of
love and tenderness,
But also by those who watched him
from afar rs the mariner watches the

He was indeed guide to honor as In

Peace to his ashes.

1t was a bad day for the people Of
Chicago when Andy McNally tele.
graphed from California that he was
going to support Harrison for Mayor.
A support by telegraph 10 all that the
firm Of Rand, McNally & Co. has ever
given any Democrat, but even for such
support they demand big returns.
Rand, McNally & Co. publish school
books, or think they do.
They are principally famous for print.
ing railway time tables and Indifferent
bicycle maps.
But they went into the school book
business. and Of course they went into
politics at the same time.
The reason they went into politics
was to get their alleged school books
into the public schools Of Chicago.

As stated, Mr.. McNally supported
Harrison by telegraph.
But no sooner was Mr.. Harrison re-
elected than Rand, Mentally & Co. de-
manded q return for their support In
the foisting Of their alleged literature
upon the poor people Of Chicago.
Strange to say, this supporter by tele-
graph secured enough ''pull" to get
several Of Rand, Mentally & Co.'s books
introduced into the schools Of Chicago
to take the place Of the old, reliable
and standard works that were In the
schools for years, and that gave every
satisfaction.
The people did not know anything
about this until this week, when their
children started OF for school again.
Many Of them had been promoted
just before vacation began and went to
school with the books Of their elder
brothers or sisters who had gone up
still higher.
Imagine their establishment when
they were told that only the Rand-Mc-
Nally brand went, and that they must
buy new outfits.
In this way the poor, tax.burdened.
ill.treated parents Of Chicago were
forced to 60 into their pockets for sums
aggregating 100000.
It may be oil right enough to reward
Rand, McNally & Co. for political sup

When an investigating committee
or special grand jury gets to work
on the matter, some people will be sur

In the meantime, Mayor Harrison Is
suffering for the sins Of others.
The Eagle has afiidavits from six
contractors who were boldly informed
that II they did not take an interest In

such harmony of action between the bank
and the open market as exists now. Hith-
erto, when the bank of England has made
efforts to force rates up in order to pro-
tect bullion or attract it from abroad, the
other banks have been in the habit Of
contending as to which should work the
cheapest. In consequence the Bank Of
England was soOn beaten. Such a thing
has happened upon the present occasion.
Whether because they had but little
spare money or because the precarious-
ness Of credit on the continent inspired
them with prudence, our leading joint
stock banks have all striven to maintain

rates either by purchasing bills sparingly
from brokers or by exacting rates higher
than the Bank of England rate. The
bank itself only worked at 81 per cent,
when bills of 60 days currency or less
were presented for discount. For longer
dates it's charge is 3A per cent and the
opel market accordingly charged 3k and
81 per cent.
Yesterday and today the market work.
ed about n off these rates, but the weak
ness is hardly expected to continue. To
attain this rigidity the Bank of England
has had to borrow freely, going up to ga
per cent for money into September. The
desired object, however, has been at
tanned. Gold follows in steadily, foreign
exchanges are more favorable and the
bank reserve is accordingly strengthened.
Next week it promises to be consider
ably further improved through the re-
turn of holiday money from circulation
for mi of England officials tell me that
sovereigns are now pouring in Further
supplies of the yellow metal from Ger
many, however, are improbable for the
present because the reichsbank must go
to 6 per cent if the drain of it's bullion to
England should continue. But we shall
be pretty comfortable now until autumn
demands arise.
This has been the poorest week on the
stock markets for years past, yet all the
departments are wonderfully strong con-
sidering the outlook. Even kaffir shares
have tlinched out little. thanks mainly to
the marvellous calmness in Paris. Ma
licious people, indeed, declare that one
section of the market is strong because
our brand new African millionaires sold
short to an enormous extent before the
latest row with Kruger began. There VIII
be no war, these people declare. Inc
market bosses do not want war. They
are merely maneuverinS for a slump ana
the agitation will be kept up until the
slump arrives. Certainly a bear account
of considerable size does exist, much of
it originating in Johannesburg. 1t is true,
likewise. that people as a rule do not be-
lieve that war is coming.
We are all much more concerned about
the state Of affairs in france than about
the duel between Dom Paula and
lain and Stead. Reports Of the Rennes
trial and of the ferment in Paris are read
With far more avidity than the South
African dispatches. What alarms "
most is the apparent inability Of the
French powers to use even the police 70
enforce public order. 1t appears to be
surrounded by traitors. and it is openly
said tina the assassin of Labor acted IN
concert with gendarmes. If this is true,
revolution may be upon us any day.
Anxiety deepens hourly in Paris and
under these circumstances you must not
expect us to take a more active snare IN
the revived speculation Of your stock
markets. The shouting goes on, how
ever, and Louisville is still the frst
favorite with professionals. but the pub
lie either does nothing or sells. Mean
while industries all flourish throughout
the United Kingdom and even the harvest
is not so much below the average as was
at one time feared. We shall perhaps
reap nearly one-third of the quantity OF
wheat REQUIRED to feed us for the next Il
