DOG AND DOGMA.

A Baltimore man tells of attending
a church on one occasion when the
minister delivered a sermon of but ten
minutes duration-a most unusual
thing for him.
Upon the conclusion of his remarks
the minister had added. II regret
to inform you, brethren, that my dog,
which appears to be peculiarly fond of
paper this morning ate that portion of
my sermon that / have not delivered"
After the service the clergyman was
met at the door by a man who, as
rule, attended divine service in an
other parish. Shaking the good man
by the hand, he said:
Doctor, I should like to know
whether that dog of yours has any
pups. If so, want to get one to give
to my nister."-Harper's Weekly.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Oct. 3O.-WHEAT-For the
first time in months this market reused
Itself from the lethargic condition
which has prevailed in the pit and per-
formed somewhat like it did when
speculation was conferred chiefly in this
cereal December sold off a cent from
to 70 and back to 73% during the first
two hours of the day. The news as a
rule was in favor of bull operators
Reported sales of 10000 bushel cash
wheat to exporters and a better for
eign demand were a few of the factors
that sustained the market. The close
was steady to firm with fair part of
the advance maintained.
CORN-Dun and featureIess, although
a little selling appeared in the early
part of the session in sympathy with
the temporary weakness in wheat but
later regained the early loss. Offerings
Of new corn are becoming more liberal.
Weather conditions for the movement
Of the new crop are improving. The
market closed steady.
OATS-Dun and lifeless. Pit traders
who usually operate in this market
were busy in the wheat pit and neg
lected their specially The market
sagged back and forth one-eighth and
finally closed at about the opening
prices.

THE BURTON WARNING.

The wife of Senator Burton is re-
ported as saying that she never felt
so proud of him as when he went to
prison. OF this the Richmond Times
Dispatch says that while this is an
attestation of loyalty, Mrs. Burton
probably does not realize that her
husband committed crime. While
he did not steal or commit murder, he
sold his influence as a senator. 1t
goes on to say:
Mr.. Folk of Missouri says that when
he began to prosecute the boodlers in
his state several prominent citizens of
st. Louis came to see him and pro-
tested that as boodling had been GO
ing on for years until it had become a
custom, and that as the people knew
it and tolerated it, it was unfair to
jump on the boodlers of that particu-
lar administration and put them in
Jail, merely for doing what others had
done for so long time with impunity
Some of the corporation managers
have taken much the same view.
They knew they were violating the
law, but they finally reached the con-
clusion that custom made it right, OF
at least excused the infraction. So
long as nobody proceeded against them
they felt that nobody cared a RAP
whether the law was violated or not
1t was natural and the public was in
part to blame. for public sentiment
is the life of the law. But the law
breakers have had a rude awakening
They have discovered that the public
was not so Indifferent as it appeared
and that it's conscience only needed
to be quickened by such men as Folk
and Hughes and Glasgow The laws
are made to be enforced and the PEG
pie aroused are determined that they

STANDARD OILS NOMINAL FINE.

To the average zap who is working
his nine or ten hours day for the
moderate remuneration of $15 a week,
s., 900 seems like a lot of money. When
on the other hand it represents the
fine of a corporation of the Standard
Oil company's magnitude for infring
ment on the laws of the imperial state
of Ohio, it bears a different aspect.
That the laws of the state have been
infringed the assessment of any fine at
all is established, and it must be a bit
discouraging to the good people of Ohio
to contemplate the vast amount of
money paid out by the state in prose-
cutting the law-breaking trust, in view
Of the meagre returns. Five thousand
dollars means about as much to the
Standard Oil company as car fare for a
trip to the state lie would mean to the
richest man in Lake county. A five
cent piece thrown to a begger would
be no more missed and regretted by a
millionaire, than will be the $4,000 fine
be misses and regretted by the Stan
ard Oil company.
In fact when taking into considera-
tion the enormous saving over what
might have been assessed, had the court
seen fit to have exercised the limit of
prerogative in the matter, it will be
seen that the Standard Oil company
should rejoice after the manner of re-
ioicings of trusts. The fine impos ed
was the limit prescribed for one offence
along the lines charged. Judge Banker
had it in his power to have the amount
s6,000,0 600 for the law provides a pen
atty of $1,000 a day for breaking the
statutes in the manner practiced by
the defendant corporation. The COM
pany has been illegally operating for
twelve hundred days.
If any more figures are needed to
prove that the fine imposed is insig-
nihcant to the Standard Oil company
let it be stated that the latter's divi-
dends for the past twelve months
reached the enormous sum of $4,000
600.
