MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12, 1883.
Thi business failures lor last week,
numbered 275, being 80 leu than
the previous week. The bad weather
probably caused the falling off.

Mas. Langtry found New Or-

has visited in America; was pleased
with the treatment of the press and
really regrets she eould not see more
of the South.
The Children's Aid Society of
New York sent twenty-seven Jboys

Thk Mexican government has
published tho decroe that the deci-
mal system shall come in force in
that republic January 1, 1884.
This reform with reciprocal free
trade will just about complote the
conquest.
In the Chihuahua riot, last Sun-
day was a week ago, about 200 dis-
solute characters' undertook to take
possession of affairs generally. Six
citizens were killed in the fight and
five of the ruffians were hanged on
«n olive branch.
It is estimated that there are 33,-
653,365 cattle in the United States,
valued at $659,000,000. This esti-
mate does not include tho bulls of
Chicago and New York, and hence
tho whole ranche is within tho reach
of an ordinary Texas stock syndi-
cate.
The quashing of tho indictment
against Prince Napoleon and his
liberation by the French govern-
ment is announced- There was
really no occasion for the fright
from the first, but this marching up
the bill and down again shows a
weakness that the Bonapartists will
hardly omit to tako advantage of.
It opens the way to tho restoration
and empire with a Napoleon on tho
thrdne.

Mr. Blaine is writing a history
of congress from 1861 to 1881. It
will be comprehensivo, and will not,
it is said, bo confined to any partic-
ular side or phase of the many great
questions which have agitated the
country before congress, but will bo
written more for the fiituro than for
the past or the present. Some bold
honest writer should follow Mr.
Blaine and write the history of tho
congressmen for the two black do-
cades.
It is stated in the Washington
dispatches that over one third of the
members of congress have been
habitually absent since tho tariff
bills were taken up. What odds
does it make f Moro than one third
aro as ignorant of the tariff question
in its bearing upon the rights of tho
peoplo and general interests of tho
country as a rice-field negro is of Bob
Ingersoll's theory of the Christian
religion. If paired they fire as valua-
ble absent as present.
On Thursday night last, a mob
attempted to tako a negro from jail,
at Paola, Kansas, who had outraged
a white woman. The lynchers were
frustrated by tho desporate resist-
ance made by the sheriff, who shot
sevoral of tho men. On Friday a
second attempt was made, and tho
negro, seeing it likely to succeed,
cut his own throat and fell dead.
Tho corpse was taken out and hang-
ed to a tree, In Buch cases Judgo
Lynch's decrees aro irrevocablo and
their execution is certain, bo tho
victim dead or alive.

Speculation in crudo rubber,
"corners," so to spoak, is the cause
alleged by tho eastern rubber manu-
facturers for closing thoir establish-
ments. Thus it is as a contem-
porary remarks: "Such now aio
the facilities for collecting informa-
tion and conducting speculation
schemes by thoso. having large
means, that the ordinary laws of do-*
mand and supply are constantly dis-
turbed and the very achievements of
a progressive age operate to increase
tho difficulties and uncertainties of
legitimate business. The prices of
commodities advance to unreason-
able figures while the wages of thoso
who produce thom remain at tho
starvation point. The speculators
get the profits.
KANSAS FARMEBS ON THE FREE
LIST.
A dispatch from Wichita, Kansas,
of the 7tli, presents the following
statement in bohalf of the Kansas
and southwestern farmers:
The recent positive stnnd on the tariff
question taken by the Kansas senators
is meeting with much commendation on
all sides. The Arkansas valley is pre-
eminently an agricultural section* and
the prices of lumber and wire for fenc-
ing and building purposes are of no lit-
tle moment to the residents of this por-
tion of Kansas. Stock raising and
wheat andfeorn raising principally em-
ploy the fanners here. To the south
and west of this city is one of the great
uieat centres of the Union, where
barbed wire is used to fence mile after
mile of grazing ground, and where
whole counties are enclosed by barbed
wire fences for pasture and stock pur-
poses. Any action which congress may
take reducing the price of barbed wire
will keep thousands of dollars here
which otherwise would be ex-
pended for wire. Stockmen on the
Cherokee strip, many of whom have
from twenty to seventy miles of wire
fence, take a very deep interest in this
question, and of course any action tak-
ing the duty from barbed wire pleases
them immensely. The very outspoken
and manly position taken by Senator
Ingalls, to wbose influence mainly can
be ascribed the placingof sawed boards,
timber squared or siued, lath, shingles
and other articles in the way of lumber
on the free list, is much praised, and
the senior senator from lfansas never
stood higher in public esteem than he
does to-day. The free list should not
stop with lumber and barbed wire. Ag-
ricultural implements and farming ma-
chinery are the curse of the Kansas
farmer. Expensive farm machinery,
poorly housed, left out in inclement
weather to go to pieces, is the bane of
the farmers of Kansas, as well as of the
West generally. The machinery, in the
first place, is. too expensive, and a re-
duction of tariff on the necessary arti-
cles composing the machinery necessa-
rily would cheapen it and be of untold
advantage to the farmers of Klfh6as.
a«
Vincent and the Wolffe.
Notwithstanding Mr. Wolffe promptly
and emphatically disclaimed any par-
ticipation in the defalcation of Treas-
urer Vincent, of Alabama, the authori-
ties of that state have deemed him amen-
able to the law to such an extent as to
justify levying upon some railroad stock
owned by him in Selma, and charging
him with being an accomplice of the ab-
sconding treasurer. If the state of Ala-
bama bases its claims simply upon the
fact that Mr. Wolffe in the transaction
of a regular brokerage business invested
funds deposited with him by Mr. Vin-
cent, in stocks or cotton futures, it is
probable that no court will sustain this
action. Mr. Wolile is licensed by law
to negotiate just such speculations ; and
from a strictly business standpoint it
was a matter of no concern whatever to
him where the funds came from. It is
alleged that Mr. Vincent also lost large
sums through cards. If this be true,
and the state of Alabama has taken
for the basis of its action the
hypothesis that speculations in futures
are illegal, Mr. Vincent's transactions
through Mr. Wolffe are placed upon the
same footing as his speculations through
cards, and it would be equally as feasi-
ble to sue for and recover funds squan-
dered in the latter manner as in the for
mer. The position of the News Upon
the question in futures has been well de
tinea. It is unquestionably an evil in a
quasilegitimatized form. Numerous in-
stances have occurrcd lately of men
holding high positions succumbing to
its seductive temptations and proving
recreant to important trusts. It is to
be hoped that intelligent and discrimi-
nating legislation will see its way clear
to the enactment of laws which will
r?nder state funds inaccessable to offi-
cials with speculative tendencies, and
also the suppresion of any business
whioh approximates gambling so close-
ly as does dealing in futures —Galveston
News.
But suppose tho "State of Ala
bama" does not "baso its claims sim-
ply upon the fact," etc., but upon
some other fact akin to the transac-
tion of the Wolffo that made it neces-
sary for the Ehrlangors to eliminate
him. Tho News is correct, reason-
ing from its hypothesis, but Alabama
has doubtless found a "negro in tho
woodpile."
