Chicago, Sept. 23.-Wheat: After a
steady opening in wheat, free selling
was induced by an increase of 3,000.
900 bushels in Bradstreet's figures on
the worlds visible supply. Stop-loss
orders were encountered and. at the
close, prices were 3. q z lower than

Corn.
In spite Of bullish influences from
frost and prediction of general rain,
corn sagged off a little with wheat
The market was not a very broad af-
fair and it took only the liquidation OF
scattered holders to bring about a
sharp decline.
The break in other grains was the
signal for a sharp drive in oats. Vague
rumors were spread to the effect that
large exports of Canadian oats were
ready to be shipped into the United
States as a result of compromise be-
tween the senate and house committee
on the tariff.
Provisions.
Packing houses were responsible for
the break early in the day and later
decline resulted from weakness in the
grain list. Cash trade is reported quiet.

Editorial Opinion
POLITICAL CHICANERY.

From the Princess Anne Marylander.
The recent famboyant account Of
alleged wrongdoings by oystermen in
Fairmount district, published in the
daily press of last Tuesday. appears
TO have been the work Of some apos-
tie of confusion and to have had lit
tie foundation. The faet that the
authorities at the county seat had
had no intimation of such wrong do
irgs. reinforced by rigid investiga-
ton, emphasizes the folly of giving
too much credence 20 startling news
items. especially at time when po-
litical capital is at a premium.
Il is very plain that the author OF
the article in question had something
more in mind than the mere sug-
gestion of a violation of law. IL ap-
pears to be true that something ia
that direction had occurred, but
nothing to justify the elaboration
and flights of imagination so rhet-
orically wrong up into a news item.
The notion OF that truculent news
promoter savors of deceit, and his
evident intent was to stir up strife
and mislead the oystermen of SOM
orset county. If the truth were
known, it would probably develop
that the writer of the article in ques-
tion was far from being a sympa-
thizer with the oystermen, but rather
an enemy in disguise, who. not for
the first time. was attempting 10
shift the burden of his own con-
science upon more loyal people than
himself.
Such political chicanery will bear
serious watching.

it had been the trashiest play ever writ

of the most remarkable men OF modern

in his rocky citadel to write play him-

pie so that he might further stir the
hearts of his fearless mountaineers
never to yield, appears to one like some
heroic legend
The work is by no manner OF means
trashy play. 1t is a stirring ro-
mantle drama. which, with a little more
"verve' in the English translation, would
turn into practical success. Stanko--

He is in love with Danitza, high spir-

dream, not only to lead her to the
throne of Montenegro, but to conquer

At last. after victory over tho

ru~Hls Board of Assessment Revision and Appea
i composed of William p. White, President OF

Every Evening series of questions relative to the
impending equalized assessment that It will be exceed

swer 20 the satisfaction Of its readers.
An equalization OF assessments such as is made
mandatory by law will be for the benefit of the
people of the city of Wilmington whole That
perhaps, the underlying reason for the opposition
of the Every Evening TO such assessment being
made 1t almost invariably opposes anything for the
benent-of the people. The people are so well aware
OF Il that today Of the most unpopular news

of il all is that il admits present assessment is
fneqltable that present system is far from what
il ought to be- and yet il is doing its utmost TO hamper
the Board of Assessment Revision and Appeals and
to attempt to place upon its work cloud of doubt
and suspicion.
Three highly important facts should be borne in
mind by the public in connection with this impending
eoualization of assessment. is that il is made
mandatory by law. Another Is that in the last mu-
nicpal campaen, which resulted in the reelection OF
Mayor Howell by an. almost unprecedented plurality
zone Of the most important and emphatically stated
planhs in his platform declaration in favor OF
such equalization third Is that the work in which
The Board OF Assessment Revision and Appeals is en-
gagged will bring about il It be properly and honestly
performed two important things. One Is that II viii

smaller ones from unjust burdens Of taxation which
they now bear. The other is that it will compel many

do their part toward meeting the financial needs
of our city which have not been, are not now and

been circuarzing their customers for some time
charging that tn opening Of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal would be Of special interest to North

the Northern cities to poute the waters of Chesapeake

two ways of accounting for this strange opposition to

financial personal interests in waterways scheme
across the Demarvia Peninsula, which does not have
the sanction Of the United states Army Engineers.
It is scarcely necessary to say that many Of the OBJ
jectons urged the purchase of the canal based
upon selfish rather than economic patriotic motives
The great meeting at Lorewood Grove this county
recently and other meetings held here and in other
places have shown that the sentiment in favor of tho

of warrior heroine Characteristic of the
Montenegrin of today. One need only
to recall the part played by women in
the recent Balkan war.
