Governor Hayward takes a very
reasonable view Of the special court
question. AS the Legislature refused
to make an appropriation to pay tho
judges who preside over these extra
terms be should not incur expenses
that he cannot pay. What is needed
is not so many extra terms, but
promptness in the dispatch of business
at the regular terms.

MAIL TRANSPORTATION.

The New York Financier thinks that
while there Is so strenuous an effort
to expose Relating and other illegal
practices by railroads and trusts, it
would seem that an investigation
might quite prohtably be made into
the methods that have been In vogue
for very many years through which
the government has been made to pay
exorbitant rates for mail transporta-
tion. 1t says:
1T may seem strange to the casual
observer that. in a department of the
government OF such vast magnitude
and conducted at such great cost. there
should not have been periodical inves-
LEGATIONS by congress into its man
agement When, however. the fact is
considered that every member of the
legislative body is indirectly a bene-
ficiary of the department, through the
enjoyment of the franking privilege,
and that though instances of the abuse
of such privilege are frequently dis
closed, inquiry thereintO Is regarded
as meddlesome interference. it is not
surprising that evidence of fraud in
the administration of the department
Is suppressed and no attempt made at
investigation, though millions of dol
lars are squandered. Even now when
the attention of congress is called to
Irregularities in administration the eff
fort is made TO convict the mail car
riers OF the offense; the railroads
would not have the opportunity for
fraud were not the inspectors of the
weighing process alert to discover it."

DREAM STREET.

Around by the corner of Pleasant
You can hear the light patter of dear
little feet.
It has no beginning nor end so they
say,
SO you see you can't find it by asking
the way.
Though everyone goes to the street
Of best dreams
Not a person will tell what it's like,
so 1t seems.
No numbers are found on the doors
over there
And the houses and people float high
in the air.
They keep the frost-spangles and sill
yer star beams.
IN a wonderful store in the street Of
good dreams.
To play round the corner so safe and
so wide,
You can start off tonight without
money or guide;
Just climb on my lap and I'll whisper
to you,
And perhaps you viii go where the
dreams will come true;
Past Lullaby Lane, then through
Slumberdeep Square,
And the first thing you know you are
landed right there!

NEW YORK LETTER.

New York. Dec. 22.-Higher prices
from London this morning had very
little influence upon this market and
in consequence stocks opened fraction
ally lower here
The most depressing feature of the
day was the weakness in Reading
which opened al 138 IL, half point
lower than last nights close and
gradually declined until it had lost
five points for the day selling at
1873 IL. The trade in 1t was on an
enormous scale lots of from one to five
thousand being the order of the day.
1t was thought in well informed cir
cles that the selling was by the Frick
crowd who had caught some one long
a large line of their particular spec
ialty and was working the "separa-
tor" methods on them again. Any one
that is able to guess the fluctuations
in this security is certainly entitled
to the profits. 1t bobs up and down
three to five points during every bust
ness day.
The weakness so apparent in Read
ing had a bearish influence upon the
entire roster Union Pacific lost two
points, opening at 1872 and selling
down to $50; ST. Paul from 1852 TO 800;
Copper from 113 to Up; Shelter from
1872 to $50 and the balance of the active
list proportionately weak.
The Hill issues, Northern Pacific and
Great Northern also suffered large
losses for the day. Northern Pacific
touched a new low record, selling down
to 100 and Great Northern down to
1872
The bank statement was better than
the trade generally expected, but its
effect upon the market was only mo-
mentarily, 1t produced a rally of about
a half point then the selling became
more aggressive than ever.
A few minutes before the close the
failure of firm, which 1t is believed
were long on stocks. was announced.
This gave the bears additional conf
dence and the selling of everything on
the list was resumed more perststently
than ever.
The close was feverish and at al
most the lowest prices of the day.

selling at TN. The selling was Of a
better class than the buying and it was
the opinion Of some of the shrewdest
traders that one of the larger elevator
concerns was the chief seller Houses
with Northwestern connections also
contributed literally to the selling
pressure. There was nothing particu-
lar bearish over night in the news.
Lack of cash demand and the absence
of inquiries from exporters for wheat
was assigned as the bearish influences.
The market closed with a weak under
tone, showing a loss of about a half
cent for the day.
CORN-DuIl and fractionally lower
The car shortage prevents the increase
of new corn at all markets and in addi-
ton disturbs the speculative market
conditions. The selling of the May op-
zion was mostly BY commission houses

The recent unpleasantness between
Hammond and East Chicago on ac-
count of the proposed vacating of For
syth avenue is given by many as an
argument against the amaIgamation of
the two cities.
The people of East Chicago must
have known at the time of the incep-
ton of the project that the vacating
of Forsyth avenue was a foregone
conclusion when the yards were locat-
ed where they were, and objections
to the closing of this thoroughfare
should have been made then.
However, ignoring the arguments
one way or another. it is certain that
East Chicago's rights would have been
much better conserved had that city
been a portion of Hammond. instead
OF merely a locker on while Ham
mond was doing things.
The city Of Hammond having an
nexed that portion Of the city now oc-
cupied by the Gibson yards, Will come
very near having the last say as to
whether or not Forsyth avenue shall
be vacated. And It Will doubtless be
governed IN its decision entirely by
the effect it viii have upon the city
OF Hammond. regardless of the neigh
boring cities.
This city is IN exactly the same posi-
tion as the merchant who anticipates
the forming of a partnership with his
competitor. The competitor Will re-
main a competitor until the partner
ship is a fact
Hammond must guard its own in
terests selhshly until this city and
East Chicago have amaigamated and
then the interests Of the two munich
palities will be Identical
Then Hammond viii have To look to
East Chicago for favors and will have
TO reciprocate when East Chicago
wants things done. Instead of being
an argument against amalgamation
the apparent Indifference OF Hammond
TO East Chicago's desires is the best
reason why the two cities should get
together.

MONEY SENT TO GOLD COUNTRY
Rush in Foreign Orders ut Postofice
Nearing the End.

In December. especially the earlier
part OF the month and also during the
last days OF November, there are sent
from this city thousands Of dollars to
foreign countries, most of which goes
as remembrances of the holiday sea-
son. There is no definite estimate of
the amount of the money which is sent
to Europe from this city, but it
amounts to thousands. 1t Is estimated
that at least a thousand foreign money
orders have been issued al this post
Office during the last few weeks, and
the amount Of money sent over is
larger than ever before, because Of
the increase in the number of foreign
born citizens during the last year
OF all the foreign countries to whom
Christmas remembrance are sent in
the form of cash Austria seems to lead
the list. For many years it has been
the custom of persons Of foreign de-
scent or parentage to send money to
their relatives in the odd country" and
particularly is this true or those from
continental Europe.
In the case of the British Isles there
is less money sent during the month
of December than goes to the coun-
tries of the continent. but there are
several reasons for this. In the first
place the postal arrangements between
the United States and Great Britain
permit the cheaper and safer trans
mission Of parcels across the water
This postal system Is also in operation
with Norway. Sweden, Denmark and
Belgium, and may be extended TO
other countries. Another reason is
that the Irish people send money all
through the year to their relatives in
the Emerald isle, not waiting for
Christmas.
