THE CHICAGO GRAIN MARKET.
TrnnsactiOns In Wheat Are Moderate

Chicago, April 24-There was nothing
much new in the wheat market today.
Crop damage reports were as plentiful as
ever, Michigan coming in with more en-
phatic claims Of damage than heretofore
The visible supply decreased 1,923.000
bushels. Liverpool was 3-Sd. lower About
forty loads were reported at the seaboard

The highest price ever reached by Cap

at the end of heavy buying which pushed
up the quotation from SO. The warm

of the company. coupled with repetitions
of the rumors that the Stevens syndicate
wishes to own the road, account for the
advancing price fully.

opinion of the market at the close was that
the opening this morning may show some
declines but that the entire list is pur-
chase around this level. AS heretofore
stated in this column, it is believed that
the leaders are buying stocks for an ad-
vance in the near future and there was
nothing in the course of the market yes

trary. There are bears in the market

LEGISLATURE ADJOURNS.
The 10th Missouri General
Assembly has finished it's
work and is now history, 1t
adjourned sine die Monday,
May %, when the clcck in the
Senate and the clock in the
House indicated that the hour
was - noon, but more truthful
time pieces marked 5:5G p, m,
as the hour. AS all bills must
be enrolled and read at length
in both House and Senate, q
bill being ia the hands of the
enrolling force caused the de-
lay. In the Senate all was tur-
MOL and confusion Saturday
and in the House wrangles were
frequent But in the closing
hours all past differences were
forgotten. Before adjournment
valuable and beautiful presents
were made some of the officers.
Hon. w. Shields McCliutic will
treasure gold chain and
Knight Tempiar charm which
was presented to him by the
Senators of the 10th Genera
Assembly. AS presiding off
Ger and as legislator, Senator
MCClintic can afford tC
stand on the record he las
made, and on account of his
faithful work the people from
all parts of our Imperial Mis-
souri, are urging him TO go ur
higher and in 1900 be elected
Lieutenant Governor of oul
! Great State. While the legis
lature has not done all the
good it could have done, it will
be found, when the record is
made up, that good work was
done. Many important bills
became laws and in Missouri
at least, trusts will not reigr
supreme. -Four strong anti
TRUST laws were passed, A goot
revision of the Statutes ha'
been made. Democracy looks
carefully after the interest o
the masses in Missouri.

THE BURLINGTON'S MONSTER
ENGINE.

Railroads, East aud West,
are not competitive in tlneic
equipment ia any sense; but the
monster locomotive of the Bos-
Con & Albany Railroad, which
recently took the palm from
old 1899" of the Empire State
Express, must relinquish its
place to 4 western rival.
The Chicago, Burlington g.
Quincy Raiiroed has recently
put into service the two largest
passenger engines ever con-
structed. They will be used on
the Denver Express and the
fast mail trains. These new
giants, numbered 1891 and 1892,
weigh just one ton more than
the Massachusetts wonder One
hundred and tweuty-seven tons
each. 1000 pounds more than
their eastern rival.
Eastern railroads were ia a
aine days wonderment over the
Boston & Aibany's experiment.
When locomotive No. 221 thun-
dered out Of Boston few weeks
ago at a 7O-mile sweep for
Springfield. the worlds record
in locomotives was exceeded.
Without any spirit of competi-
tion and wholly within the
scope of it's needs, the Burling
ton system has had to outdo the
New England line.
Compared with the Boston &
Albany's No. 221, the Burling
tons No. 1891 shows more
marked characteristics than are
TO be guessed from the total
weight difference of one ton.
The Albauy's engine weighs
1876 tons, and the BurlingtOn'S
1877 tons; the drivers Of the one
are six feet, two inches, and O
the other z feet and 1 of al
inch; No. 221 hauls a trait
weighing $40 tons and No. 159,
pulls one weighing 81 tons
the compound cylinders of the
one are % by 81 inches and o
the other 23 by % inches; No
221 carries eight tons of Goa
and 4,500 gallons of water; No
1891 takes twelve tons OF Goa
and 5000 gallons of water; boil
engines have the same stean
pressure of 900 pounds to th'
square inch.
This new maStodon of tn,
Burlington's is the Atlauti,
type, Vauclain compound en-
glne. with two cylinders-higl
and low pressure-on each side
It's boiler is fitted with 90
tubes, two inches in diameter
and sixteen feet long. It's gian
drivers, two on a side, arr
about midway between th'
back of the cab and the from

five feet in diameter. Back O
these are the regulation truck
supporting the tender. Eacl
of the four driye-wheels weigl
5000 pounds, and makes abou

On it's first trip with the Den
yer flyer, No. 1891 pulled a sol
id vestibule train of two mai
cars, one composite library anC
smoking car, two sleeping cars
a dining car and two reclining
chair cars-a load of sixty on

What did the parties declare

American aud anti-American
and pledged themselves to dc
what they could to destroy it

WHAT DEMOCRACY DOES NOT DO.
Democracy is not a levelei
Democracy would not rob the
thrifty to supply those who
will not work; Democracy would
not take from those who ac-
cumulate by industry and econ
omy to supply the pocket of
the spendthrift; Democracy sim
ply insists that men shall eat
the bread that they earn and
not steal that which other peo-
pie earn. 1t is the only doc,
trine that is sound, and that is
why you find Democrats ready
to defend their doctrines al al
times.
THE FIRST REPUBLICAN PLAT
FORM.
Republicans, do you know
that the first Republican nation
al platform contained the plank
which appealed to all people to
Join the Republican party on
condition that they wanted the
government taken back and
placed upon the foundation laid
by Washington and jefferson?
1t was not Hamilton then. Ham
ilton is the latter day idol of
the Republican party, the idol
worshipped by those who, in
stead of turning themselves to
the adjustment of domestic
questions, can only see strenu-
Gus life in a military policy that
reaches around the globe. In
the letter expressing his regret
that he could not attend the
Boston banquet, Lincoln said
that the Republican party be-
lieveG in the man and the dol
lar, but that in case of conflict
: it believed in the man before
the dollar.
GETTING MONEY FROM THE PEG
PIE.
One of the most familiar
methods of collecting revenue
{ to carry benevolent assimiia-
tion to the Filipinos is found in
| the 1-cent tax on kilograms. If
you want to send a telegram
you go to the telegraph office.
write out your dispatch, the
l operator Will tell you how much
: the telegram is-just as much
as 1t used to be-and then you
: will be informed that under the
: benefcent wisdom of the Re
publican party the telegraph
! company is permitted to trans.
fer to the man who sends the
telegram the 1-cent tax on each
telegram. Why? Because the
: Republican party would rather
! tax the man who sends tele.
, grams than the telegraph com,
5 pany that sends the telegram
f by wire. Why? Because the
5 men who control the telegraph
! company have more influence
I with the Republican party than
t all the people who send tele
grams.
