'Cleveland Plain Dealer:--One ef the socialistic orators of Chicago gpro- poses that the government of the United States should assume the man­ agement of the etreet railroads of the cities and reduce the rate of fare to 2 cents. Perhaps if the government had charge of these Institutions there would never be any Impediments plac­ ed on the tracks by dismiseed drivers, or at least never but once. These so­ cialistic chaps have seme very queer Ideas about freedom and government. TV*.)*; &*..•; • ?• #&"The postmaster at East St. Louis > .must be something of a humorist. He 1% of course, a Republican, and having invested In a farm in Kansas, he wauts to throw op his commission and move. In order to faciliate bis own removal ha writes to the post-office department that be ia a Republican, a violent and offensive partisan, glories to it and wants his successor named immediate­ ly. So far his successor has not been appointed. His friends are deaireu* of retaining him as a postmaster, and the department seems to think he's tbe very man who furnishes a case for • brilliant Illustration of civil service nfens. S^Tbe lease holders of tbe Cherokee tftrlp Insist that ao Texas cattle shall pass over that strip between the months of April and December to the northern pasture grounds in Kansas, Nebraska and Dakota, as tbey have been in the habit of doing. The claim la that all Texas cattle are diseased during the summer season and transmit tbe Texas fever to other cattia. The peculiarity of this disease, and of this case when it gets into court, is, that tbe Texas cattle, which seem perfectly healthy, and abont which no disease can be detected, transmit the fever. The lessees of this Indian laid propose to assume that all Texas cattle are dis­ eased, whereas tbe courts may require them to.show, as was done in the Mis­ souri cases years ago, that each lot of cattle prohibited are diseased. lift I - • of the charge of shooting truttnovati Rossa, on the ground of Ititmrilljr. Of her insanity there Is no one who now entertains a doubt, but it was very cunning In its method. The shooting of Rossa wasoue of its manifestations, of course, hut how etwin«e it is that such a person should have selected just such a victim at just such a time. And how strange It Is, loo, that Mrs. Dudley should advance in her defense precise­ ly the same line of reasoning for justification that Rossa projects con stantly into bis debates in justification of his dynamite policy. Since Mrs Dudley was insane when she shot Rossa. and since the act was not there­ fore a criminal one, Rossa's enemies must regret ti.at the crazy woman did not so plant the bullet as to cut off the man who constantly boasts that he has been and is a party to the schemes of assassins who blow op public buildings and make war upon women and child­ ren and persons innocent of offense against Ireland. The friends of much- abused and long-suffering Ireland have need to pray for deliverance from such advocates as Rossa, who seek to dignify as8asssinatlon and clothe murder In the garb of patriotism. More Railroad Facilities. We have got so used to hearing of proposed railroads, whose lines would run through or touch oil Kane county that nothing in the way of railway projects is now apt to surprise us. The latest story is thus narrated, in a dis­ patch from Springfield": The Wisconsin Central Railroad on Tuesday filed articles of Incorporation with the Secretary of State. The prin­ cipal business office is to be located at Chicago, and the capital stock of the company is 20 000,000. The road will be constructed from Chicago through Cook and Lake counties to the Wiscon­ sin state line, also in a westerly direc­ tion through the counties of Cook and DuPage to Elgin, Kane county, and thence in a northwesterly direction through the central part of McHenry county to the state line; also, from Huntley, 111., to Dunlelth, III., through McHenry, Boone, Winnebago, Stephen­ son, and Jo Daviess counties; also a line from Belvidere and Rockford to Belolt, Wis. The incorporators and tirst board of directors are: Henry Alison, Edward Alison, Holver Olson, Henry Ohon, and Edward Olson, all of Chicago. This is the outcome of an eld scheme for paralleling the St. Paul and tbe Northwestern roads for a considerable distance, and of giving the Wisconsin Central road its new and direct line Into Chicago.--Elgin News, special to the Inter Ocean Ht>m Sycamore, DeKalb County, has the following significant paragraph: Hon. A.J. Hopkins, of Aurora. Is no uncommon sight on our streets. He has his line out for the office of Congress man. This fact he freely admits. He also feels that he can reasonably expect most of the delegates from thl3 county In addition to those of his own. This feeling probably comes trom the fact that he is in possession of a document with the sign manual of most of the delegates sent from this county to the convention that nominated Mr. Ell- wood. This document, it Is claimed, pledges each delegate to "deliver up" this county to Hopkins when Ellwood ceased to be a can lidue. Ellwood is deal, and consequently seeks the posi­ tion no mors. Now it is vacant, and the question naturally comes up: "Who carries DeKalb County in his pocket?" "Who has the right to 'deliver u,V this county te any one?" There are intelli­ gent voters in this county who serious­ ly object to being bargained away in a lump like a drove of Texas steers. They do not care to sell their birth­ right, much less to have it sold by Others and receive no just recompense Jir. Hopkins ha3 a host or friends here who wish him well In his political en­ deavors, and who would be pleased to vote for him, but they would like to know it when they do. There are others who do not want to vote for tome other delegate In good faith and have him "deliver up" himself or this county to Mr, Hopkins or any other nan. •fir The Desert News, the church organ, in a five column editorial on tbe 6th lust., justifies the insult offered by the Morman officials to the A nerlcan people fcnd flag. The President of the Nations! bank in which the U. S. de­ posits are kept declares "half mast was the proper place for the flag, as we have not more than half our rights." The truth is, a majority of the Mor­ mons «re aliens, taken from the pover­ ty-stricken districts and slums of Eu­ rope, who have no sympathy with our free Institutions and hate our restric­ tive laws. Tbe men who take tbe oath •f allegiance do it for political influ­ ence and power, always protesting that tlie church is above the state, and its Authority must be obeyed. Aud all thfe dupes of this rolio of barbarism s#ear by the church and despise tbe Our Chicago Market Report. Prepared Sxpressiy for the PLAINDGALER by Oar Own Correspondent. CHICAGO, July 14,1885. The fine growing weather and splen­ did crop reports have had a weakening effect upon the market, and buyers are quite limited and prices continue to drop off a fraction each day, and tbe close of each week wltuesses a material decline in wheat. Winter wheat which brought 95 and 96c a few weeks ago has come down until 92c is about tbe price paid. Corn has held Its own steady, between 47 and 48c, but is weakening at present. Tbe outlook for a good crop of corn is splendid. Oats are steady with slight decline. The re­ ceipts of live stock for the past seven days amounted to 52,180 bead of cattle, 80,009 bogs, 11,000 sheep as compared with the previous week this is a heavy falling off in receipts. To-day the prices are are about the same as they were one week ago. The light receipts of tbe beginning of the week sent the prices up 25c, but the light demand at the close caused a drop equal to the gain. Fat cattle for shipping are In good demand as prices do not change much in this grade. Common aod butcher's 3upply Is plentiful. The sup­ ply of hogs for the past week fell off about 60,000 as compared with the pre­ vious week and the price has advanced until the market rate to-day is about 30c per 100 pounds more than it was seven days ago, There is no improve­ ment in the quality or price of sheep, shippers remaining out of the market. The produce market Is In a very healthy condition, the demand being fully equal to the supply. Choice creamery butter is in excellent demand at an advance. Poultry is scarce and higher. New potatoes are plentiful and as the sea«on advances tbe price drops. WINTER, WHEAT--NO. 2 red 92} No. 3 red 86Jc.
