CHICAGO LETTER.

Chicago, Dec 19-WHEAT-Trad
in wheat today was narrow and in
clined to the selling side of those who
were the buyers yesterday. North
western traders sent in more bearish
views on the cash situation, just the
opposite from their tone yesterday
The speculative markets for both the
December and May options here showed
declines OF about a half cent for each
future. Foreign markets We're frac-
tionally lower. Clearances to the sea-
board light, only $4,000; a decease in
the cash demand. All these factors in
duced selling by the scalping element.
As result the market closed weak.
CORN-A shade weaker but the vol
ume of business was light, quite a
contrast from the activity displayed
yesterday. Cash corn in the sample
market was reported one half cent
higher. Receipts a little larger than
estimated. Export demand fair. The
market closed steady with a slight de-
cline compared with yesterdays clos
ing prices
0ATS-Lower early IN the session but
later regained the lost ground based
on reports from France and Russia
that their crops will be short. Export
demand continues excellent and this
factor prevents any material decline

Christmas Oversee.

There is, perhaps, no better illustra-
ton of the spirit for which Christmas
stands than that given by the long
files of people found now at all hours
of the day before the postal money or
der window. Almost every one of
them carries a large reddish brown
slip of paper-the application for a
foreign postal money order. Thousands
OF our foreign population are daily
sending a part of their savings home
as a Christmas greeting from America.
They are not Of the Weather class,
naturally. Many of them can i'll spare
the gifts they make, and very likely
there IS hardly one Of them who would
not find use for this money in some
article of comfort or necessity. And
withal they are respectable, well-ap-
pearing class of people, citizenship
of which the great republic need not
be ashamed. We are proud and glad
as nation that our history and insti-
tutions permit US to help make bright
er the Christmas day for many people
oversee. For such as these a star is
rising in the western sky.-New York
Globe.

A Crusher.

George Hoadley, ex-governor Of
Ohio, once related that the hardest set
ting down he ever experienced fell to
him while campaigning in his own
state. Tired and out of sorts, ne ar
rived at a little town one evening and
went to the only hotel in the place.
The proprietor stood coatless behind a
little desk, smoking a corncob pipe.
After Mr.. Hoadley registered his host
said. Take yer grip up to No. 10. down
at the far end of the hall" With
some evaporation the states chief ex-
ecutive said: 4 am George Hoadley,
governor of Ohio" The man looked
him over calmly and replied: Well,

New Lincoln story.

In her book. Dixie After the War
Mrs. Martha Lockett Ayary tells the
following new Lincoln story in con-
nection with General Pickett, who led
the charge at Gettysburg: AR Lin
coin had taken a warm interest in
young George Pickett as a cadet at
West Point. During his hurried So
journ in Richmond Lincoln's carriage
and armed retinue drew up in front
of the old Pickett mansion. The gen
erals young wife came out with her
baby IN her arms and said: Il am
General jPicketts wife.
Madam" Lincoln answered. Il am
Georges old friend. Abraham Lincoln. !
The president OF the United states?'
she asked.
No with smile; only Abraham
Lincoln, Georges old friend"
The child reached out his hands and
when Lincoln took him IN his arms IL
kissed the president.
Tell you father" said Lincoln. that
will grant him a special amnesty
II he wants it-for the sake Of your
mothers bright eyes ana your good
manners"

Salvation Army Methods.

There may possibly be such a thing
as keeping a good man down." but
there is no way of suppressing a man
with views, as is illustrated by the
assault OF z. Benjamin Andrews on the
Salvation Army. E. Benjamin has
been doing things ever since he leaped
into notoriety and out of his job, by
championing the free coinage of sill
yer. Now he makes a good bid for
publicity by attacking something that
Is almost universally commended, while
there are quantities Of admitted evils
waiting to be assaulted.
The Salvation Army and the Volun-
teers OF America have won their way
into public favor by doing good work
that nobody else would undertake.
Chancellor Andrews objects that they
do not make public statements OF their
receipts and expenditures. What of
it? Nobody is getting rich out of the
work. The people who collect the
money are not riding in automobiles or
building fine homes. They are still
tramping the streets and holding their
religious meetings. BY their works
shall We know them"
With curious inconsistency Mr. An
drews also assails the expenditure Of
money he wants accounted for. He
thinks that furnishing dinners that
anybody may partake of is pauperiz-
ing. How so? The Salvation Army
undertakes these dinners only on
Thanksgiving and Christmas and per
haps one or two other special days
Anybody that would set pauperized on
two or three square meals a year would
certainly be an easy victim.
VIGOROUSLY the dinner business is q
very small item of Salvation Army
work. but it may be observed that the
people who get the dinners, as well
as the recipients of other benefits
| know what it is doing with the money
They are not asking an accounting
Neither are the people who give the
money. They simply have the benevol-
ent impulse, and have not the time OF
the inclination 10 give directly. Tney
usually do not want to be bothered
with reports. They have given to the
poor. and if the money did not reach
its destination they would feel blame
less.

It's All I'm the Way.

Some people condemn Christmas CIV
ing. Not all such are ill-natured. eth
err They condemn the gift phase of
Christmas because 1t is sometimes made
so much of a fad. It is true that too
much giving Is not in exact accord with
the real spirit Of Christmas and what
is worse, some of Ii is almost out OF
reason. Gifts made for the sake of
display of means, or for the discharge
of some obligation, or because some
thing is expected in return, are dis
tasteful and vulgar at a time when
entirely different motives should hold
sway. After making due allowances.
however. for all possible cases there is
no good ground for general condemna-
ton of Christmas giving. Making
Yuletide gifts displays the best side
of your nature, for in the majority Of
instances 1T is prompted by generous
motives. 1t is the expression of our
best feeling. So there is, after all.
plenty of justification for Christmas
giving, providing It Is done in the right
spirit.
1t is the way which counts most The
spirit in which a gift is presented is
more important than the gift itself A
mere trinket, or a bit of fancy work
done by loving hands may serve to ex-
press remembrance and affection. IT
isn't the value that counts most it is
the spirit. A little token may give
cheer to the heart through a whole life
time, while a costly bauble may ex-
press only temporary interest and may
be soon forgotten. It is all in the way
of giving. the how of giving, by whom
and to whom.

Indiana Constitution Good.

It would require considerable edu-
cation to convince Indiana generally
that it needs a new constitution and
those who are clamoring for a consti-
tutional convention will have a rocky
road to travel before their desires are
gratifed. The constitution has it's
faults, but after all it's a pretty good
old document. Indiana has prospered
well under 1t. True. it has its rejects.
It was made for Indiana when Indiana
was comparatively insignificant state.
1t does not meet all the requirements
of the present. but amendments can be
made when the necessity for them be
comes so grave that all the people are
convinced they are necessities. We
do not want to give few lawyers the
right to formulate new bill of rights
If the legal profession desired to raise
it's standard, 1t could have done so by
making an active campaign for the con-
stitutional amendment last fall. 1t
didn't do 1t, so it must be taken for
granted that 1t is satisfied to be medi-
OGRE when compared with the bars Of
some of the other states. SO far as the
length of the legislative session is con-
cerned, they are not long enough. All
recognize that that Is true. The legis-
lators ought to be permitted to CON
tinue the session until the work in
hand whatever it's nature, Is completed.
But this, too, can be remedied by
amendment If it is gone about in the
proper way. No, Indiana can wag
along for some time yet with the fun
damental law of 1850, by fixing up
some of the weak places a little.-La-
fayette Courier.

The Church In Europe.

That there should be popular dis
turbances against the Catholic church
in Rome seems strange, when viewed
from a distance, as the church was
supposed to be sacredly regarded by
the people OF Italy. Evidently. how
ever there is considerable opposition
to it. The rioting in Rome, as well
as the action in France. does not IN
dictate public sentiment based on poll
ties alone but reflects a hostility to
religion. Beyond all doubt Europe is
cursed at the present time by an in
fidelity that is hostile to all religion
and boastful in its supposed wisdom.

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York, Dec. 19.-Liquidation in
the stock market was on an enormous
scale from the very opening this morn
ing The selling appeared the heaviest
in st. Paul Reading, Union Pacific
Copper, Shelters, Missouri Pacific
Louisville & Nashville and American
Sugar. Each and every one of these
issues at one time during the session
showed losses ranging from three to
Ave points. The market generally had
the aspect of a panic, but in the late
afternoon influential interests came L
the support of the market and saved
any further declines. 1t was rumoret
in the street that Secretary Shaw woulc
again come to the rescue of the specu-
lators by depositing an additions
twenty five million in the Nationa
banks, this, however. was unconfirmed,
but it had the desired effect of caus-
ing considerable short covering.
Another rumor which was given con-
siderable credence was to the effect
that the directors of the Reading COM
pany met and declared the regular divi-
dend of per cent. This was a severe
blow to the bulls on Reading who were
expecting a large increase in the an
nual disbursement.
The call loan market was again the
depressing feature of the entire day.
Call loans at one time ruled as high as
rs per cent, but subsequently eased off
to per cent. near the close after
brokers had been Accommodated at the
higher prices to carry over their long
stocks.
The market closed feverish and err
ratio and predictions as to the course
of the market during the next few
days are more or less hazardous.
