A SESSION DEVOID OF INTEREST
Another Dull Day in the Superior
Court.

The proceedings of court yesterday
were rather devoid of interest, the ses-
sion being largely consumed in the
trial of a lengthy insurance case. Judge
Littlejohn may continue on with civil
business for a while longer, or may
take up the criminal docket some time
next week to the end of disposing of as
many of the Jail cases as possible ere
the holidays. There are no murder
cases at this session of court and the
few felony cases on docket may not
occupy any great length of time in
trial,

LOOSE MATCHES IN WAREHOUSE
At Leslie Came Near Starting a Bad
Blaze,

A loose match on the floor of a cotton
warehouse at Leslie, near Americas,
came near starting serious blaze there
yesterday morning. Some one stepped
upon the match, and thus the blaze
originated. The cotton near at hand
was hastily removed and the local fire
apparatus quickly brought to bear upon
the flames. By prompt work the blaze
was soon extinguished, but for while
it seemed that bad fire was inevitable.

Private Property.

The issues Of politics in this country
are being steadily narrowed down TO
questions turning on the ownership
and control Of property. Ever since
there has been any record of human
society we find a general recognition of
both personal and property rights. 1t
was FOR the protection OF these rights
that social order was organized. When
might made right and the strong hand
took what and when il would from
tho weaker. the necessity for some
protection was made so plain that the
people Of even the widest and rudest
tribes recognized it and they banded
together 10 save their women and
children and such property as they
possessed from being carried away by
robbers
The recognition OF the right of a
man to his wife. his minor children
and his property is. the basis of all
civil and criminal law. and upon that
right all social order in every race and
nation. from the most savage to the
most enlightened. is founded. There is
no race Of people upon the globe in
which the right of property is not
recognized and defended.--New Orleans

pnEMoNITIoN PREVENTS WRECK

Negaunee. Mich, Sept. 27.-The pre-
monition of the engineer prevented
what would have been a bad wreck
last night. freight had been order
ed on the side track to let passenger
train pass. 1t was found. however,
that the train was too long to go on
the siding.
The engineer sent a brakeman down
the track to flag the passenger. Then
he thought that the fiagman might
fail. so he sent another out to signal
the passenger. To the surprise of the
second trainman the first man did not
flag the train, but it stopped when he
signaled
Later a search was made and the
body Of the first 1agman was found
cut to pieces. He evidently had fallen
asleep on the track while waiting for
the train.

CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago. Sept. 2S.-WHEAT-Rathe

tinues strong, September wheat in Min
neapohs selling from to cents a
bushel over the deferred month. The

are Disappointing. Foreign markets

were liberal 80 boat loads reported en-
gagged at New York. The market
closed steady at about yesterdays
prices.
CORN-About the only trade of con
sequence was the evening up of the
September contracts. Traders who
have open accounts in that month have
been closing them as there are only a
few days in which they can either de-
liver or receive the cash article. The

WITH THE EDITORS.
sorrow In the sanetun,.

Some of the pains and perilous re-
sponsibilities of Journalism have been
illustrated by the experience Of the In
diana editor who unwittingly publish
ed In the columns of his Republican
newspaper the plate matter intended
for the use of his Democratic contem-
porary The fact that the editor was
away from home at the time and that
the blunder was caused by the over
sight OF the foreman hardly palliates
the enormity OF the offense in the
minds OF the outraged subscribers.
The editor could not even take refuge
in the plea once made by a distinguish
ed newspaper correspondent WHO ex-
cused his contributions TO Democratic
paper on the ground that the paper
had certain Republican following en-
titled to "a little corner Of its own"
When theeditor OF a strictly parti-
san newspaper is further hampered by
his position Of cx-p postmaster he feels
the burden of life moro keenly He
knows that he is directly responsible
not only to his senator. the congress-
man from his district, the chairman Of
the state committee and the district
committeeman but to every loyal par
~ man who has honored a petition
r.
innocenfly. his paper IS committed to
heretical doctrine, the number OF ex-
plantations demanded is in proportion
to the extent OF his former party fealty
and his previous protestations Of party
fervor. It Is no triains matter to so
contrary to the law and the prophets
even IN plate matter
A popular impression that an editor.
through the strenuousness of his call
ing. is insensihle to the delicate prick
ings that worry and annoy ordinary
men is wholly unwarranted. Perhaps
he Is the more sensitive because of
the didactie nature of his position,
whether as guiaer of great metro
pohtan daily or promoter of an au-
theritative country weekly. There is not
an editor In the land who does not
keenly appreciate the turbulent emo
tions OF the Indiana brother excited
when the gravity of the foreman's error
was made known to him. Personally
he was blameless. but IL is much more
difficult to explain mistake than To
commit 1t. and when the unfortunate
editor realizes the terrible conseQuen-
ces that may follow the perusal of doc
trine hitherto unknown to his trusting
subscribers the charm that can soothe
his melancholy is absent without leave
IN remembering that ito err IS hu-

avoidahle the subscriber may temper
the divinity Of forgiveness with the
appreciation of acute and unusual suf-
fesing.-Chteago Tribune.

large an opposition. Not that the com

NEW YORK LETTER.


New York. Sept 2S.-Secretary Shaw's
plan for the relief OF the money mar
ket which was made public late yes
terday afternoon had very stimulat-
ing effect on prices this morning. The
early trading. however. was OF the per-
sistent bearIsh sort. Raids were made
against st. Paul. Union and southern
Pacific Copper. the Steel issues. Colo
rado fuel, Erie and Missouri Pacific
For the first two hours stocks looked
ike they were going to be put on the
bargain counter irrespective OF their
merits The losses in the active issues
ranged from one to four points St
Paul sold at 170. from an opening
around 1881; Union Pacific down 70
1S1 y from 1S5 at the opening and Cop
per declined from 112 to 1924 The
selling was again for the western con-
tingent wha have assumed just as
bear.sh an attitude at present as they
were bulIish when stocks were a great
deal higher.
In the late afternoon a determined
drive was made at the shorts result
ing in wiping out all of the early
losses. Shorts were frantic buyers OF
stocks that they had sold early in the
session. The news assigned for the ad-
vance was that the secretary's relief
would be far more reaching than the
trade generally believed. In conse-
quence of this fact, money ruled a
trihe easier in the latter half 70 the SEES
sion, loans being made at ) per cent
The action Of the market looked
! like a well planned coupe to drive
shorts in who had become too aggres-
sive. The bulls were successful in this
and the possibilities are that the mar
ket will react again tomorrow.
