Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago, Feb. Real winter pre-
walls all over North America. This is
the first factor in the grains. Snow
has been exceedingly well scattered
SiXty-fiye out of rs stations in the east
and central and southwest show down
fall in past "a hours Temperatures
have dropped TO four below in Kansas
and parts of Missouri and Nebraska.
Canada is cold at 10 to 80 below in
parts and our spring wheat states
have cold snap of 10 or 20 below.
There are reports of 20 below from
Nebraska. This severe weather is eI-
pected to last several days. There is
trifling improvement in the Chicago
cash corn demand. A liberal export
demand for wheat is claimed, but re-
ported sales as given out are not
large. Wheat gossip is friendly, bases
on small Argentine surplus estimates
and a further fricasee of Indian and
Australian news. Receipts and ship
ments of wheat at primary points for
the week just about equal last week
when the visible decreased about 9eOr
600. Primary corn movement OF the
week is also about same as last week.
Corn visible may increase another
half million or so. AS this is the nrst
wintry spell of the 1894 season It's
effect on the cash grain demand viii
be watched. Its effect will be toward
firmness.

AN ORIGINAL ARGUMENT
FOR UNIVERSAL PEACE.
Outline of Proposal of Hamilton Holt
"America's Destiny to Lead" Z

Hamilton Holt, editor Of the Inde-
pendent, in that publication presents
what he considers is an original argu-
ment for universal peace under the
title, 1.-THE Way to Disarm-A Prac-
teal Proposal"
Mr.. Holt in part writes:
I'm his famous essay, Perpetual
Peace published in 1895, Emmanuel
Kant declared that we never can have
universal peace until the world is po-
litically organized, and 1t will never be
possible to organize the world political
ly until the people, not the kings, rule.
"a careful study of the formation Of
the thirteen American colonies from
sparate states into our present COM
pact Union discloses the fact that the
nations today are in the same stage of
MES were about the time of their first
confederation.
Let the League of Peace be formed
on the following five principles:
'First.-The nations of the league shall
mutually agree to respect the territory
and sovereignty of each other
''Second.-All questions that cannot be
settled by diplomacy shall be arbitrated-
''Third.-The nations of the league shall
provide a periodical assembly to make al
rules to become law unless vetoed by
nation within a stated period.
'Fourth-The nations shah disarm Il
the point where the combined forces of thu
league shall be a certain per cent higher
than those Of the most heavily armed ma
ton or alliance outside the league. De
tailed rules for this pro rata disarmament
shall be formulated by the assembly.
"Fifth.-Any member of the league shall
have the right to withdraw on due motto
or may be expelled by the unanimous vot
OF the Others
Mr.. Holt concludes with this state
ment: 1T would seem to be the mani
fest destiny of the United States t,
| lead in the establishment of such
| league"

All not that face! You were our friend
Too close to be SO silent now!
The love- the laughter, at an end
In austere lips and brow.
We loved you, but we went our ways,
Undreaming in our rash content
That you were dropping numbered days
Along the roads We went.
We loved you, but we never guessed
Your ardors and your shining powers
Were aiming for farther quest
Than any quest of ours.
Good night dear contradict AS we part
Not idle praise nor tears we bring.
But see! Our hearts stand round, your
heart
Like warriors round a king.

TO INCREASE BIRTH RATE.
British Fighters Urged to Marry Be-
fore Going to War.

British Fighters Urged to Marry Be-
fore Going to War.
Realization of the necessity of a high
birth rate to offset the deaths due to
the war has led to a movement in
England to reduce marriage fees and
to encourage soldiers and sailors to
take wives before leaving for the front
The archbishop of Canterbury has
addressed an open letter on the sub
ject to a London paper, and he has
likewise sent a strong letter to all the
bishops urging them to reduce the
marriage license fees so that soldiers
and sailors summoned to active serv-
ice may marry before leaving home.
The marriage fees total $40, which in
cludes $3.50 in stamp duty to the gov
eminent. The archbishop has request
ed the government to waive the pay
ment of this duty in the case of re-
cruits.
Many dioceses already have lowered
the license fee to $3.50 and the clergy
men are waving their right to per-
| sonal fees.
The wholesale encouragement of
marriages on the part of the soldiers
and sailors of Germany, Austria and
/ France has attracted much attention
In England and probably inspired the
archbishop's action.

Democratic Nominee Refuses to Make

ST. Adams, Oct. >. - Charles d.
Watson, who was nominated at the
Democratic state convention held in
bennington Sept. %, for the office Of
United States senator, on Saturday
notified James f. Kennedy, of Willis
ton, chairman of the state committee,
that he feels compelled to decline the
nomination. Mr.. Watson has notified
Secretary of State Guy w. Bailey to
this effect.
Mr.. Watson S action leaves it to the
state committee to decide whot course
shall be followed to fill the vacancy
1t will be remembered that the Dem
ocratic state committee was about
evenly split as to whether Charles A
Prouty should be made the nominee
or not. Some of those who have fol
lowed things politically in Vermont
were not backward in making the
statement that Mr.. Watson nomina
ton was a most remarkable expires
sion of the party's confidence in him
adding that, with the very evident
Prouty sentiment prevailing in thu
convention, no other Democrat IN Yer
mont could have defeated Mr.. prouty
