In tjonseqnenceofth reported short
crops caused by the drgught of last
summer the spirit of -speciilatioar rose
high, orjraerirfa te hecessariesof
life became the order of Che day llf the
great provision centres of the West,
and a great advance in every article of
food followed at once, Notwithstand
ing the fact the crops have proved much
more abundant than was apprehended
during the summer, the prices still keep
up, controlled as they are by specula
tors who dictate prices, and hold them
up for their own gain.
We clip the following from the Phila
delphia' rfmc and .presume it lyill ap
ply as truly to other large cities North
and South :
"Prices of most commodities of life
been riaimr. rising Notwithstand
ing the prdtusion of nearly every staple
or commerce advantage nas teen uulbu
of a temDorarv check in the harvests to
run up every article of food, furnishing
and luxury, with the single exception
ofclothintr. Rents, too, which are the
first to feel the depression of scant mar
kets, are, singularly enough, keeping
Dace with provisions indeed, in most
cases surpassing them in growth.
fit is necessary to remind consumers
thatthere is something wrong in Buch
a state of things. Who ever heard of a
healthful increase in one direction that
did not affect and bring about coter
minous increase on the part of every
thing else? The staples of life meat,
flour and potatoes are just a3 aoun
dant in this country this year as they
were last. The export of them, is not so
great this year as last, since France
, and the general continental countries
have garnered more than average har
. vests, Knout war, aiauurein crops
or an unusual exportation sucn an in
crease-in the price of living as we are
now witnessing is an unnatural and
baleful symptom, because it is a proof
that the country is falling still more su
pinely into tne hands or reckless ana
conscienceless speculators.
"Early last summer Jay Gould's jour
nal gravely asserted that a. failure of
the wheat crop would be a good thing

not failed far from it, no crop has
failed and yet the markets are run
ning a muck as in time of war. The
proof of the factitious nature of the
general advance is further attested in
tbe ominous fact that wages have not
advanced while their purchasing pow
er has decreased a considerable per
cent. In the older countries arbitrary
advances in the commodities of life are
checked by systematic co-operation,
which, enabling the consumer to deal
directly with the producer, leave the
speculator no chance to grab swift for
tune bv a sudden doubling of the prices
of life."
This is a bad, it is an outrageous state
of affairs. It is bad for all, but espe
cially upon the poor, whose daily labor
brings them daily bread, and who in
ordinary times find it no easy matter to
provide for their households in a man
ner that they ought to be provided for,
and have anything left for a few little
luxuries and a few pleasures in life.
The fact is there is a wicked, heartless
mania for speculation predominant in
these days, whose only aim is to accu
mulate money rapidly, no matter who
suffers by it. Speculating in bonds,
stocks, gold, &c, is demoralizing and
questionable, but that is a kind of "dia
mond cut diamond" game, into which
men enter of their own accord, and
those who speculate are the sufferers
if they get bit They have no one to
blame but themselves. But the game
that seizes and monopolizes the neces
saries of life has no redeeming features.
It is monstrous and indefensible. The
burglar who blows open a safe to rifle
its contents is white-souled beside the
worshipper of money who can coolly
sic aown ana iorm a plot to possess
himself of , the supplies of food upon
the market with a view to locking them
up until necessity forces the hungry.
and needy to pay the extortionate prices
he demands before he will open his
. warehouses to them.
There are laws on the statute books
against such villainy as this, but judges
to enforce the laws are few and far be
tween, so few and so far between that
we never see the laws enforced, though
in one' or two instances judges have
called the attention tot jurors to the

' that one man or a combination of men
who command the capital can control
the food supplies of the country, and
hold or let go as it suits their interests,
there is a big screw loose somewhere.
JHereis a big field for reformers that
lays the civil service reform question
in the shade," and a field in which our
flaw-makers and law administrators
might figure to seme purpose, with
some good to the public, and with some
honor to themselves., There is much
talk about anti-monopoly, but the mon
opoly in the food business is about the
Worst nd 'least defensible monopoly
that the United States has to. complain
of at the present writing.
THE STAR ROUTE FRAUDS.
jhi EkwpAJ Herald of Friday
has a pointea article on the "Govern
rnent and the Star Boute Frauds," in
which it warns Mr. Arthur that he can
hot afford to be indifferent nor even
lukewarm in pursuing the prosecution
.of the star, route swindlers. Speaking
of the progress of the star routers, un
der Hayes' administration, it says :
, Why it was or how , it was that this
aiasrracef ul public plunaerine was suf
fered to flourish throughout the four
years of the Hayes administration Is a
wonder that Is only increased by every
new-deyeloDment. It has been known
for some time past that a very signifi
cant report on this subject was made to
Postmaster-General Key in August.

high in authority under tha adminis
tration of Mr. Hayes may be responsfe
ble for tne star route xrauas is a ques
tion on which future developments
may possibly shed more light than we
now have. But enough is known to
iustif v the belief that the shameful
corruption mac went on iur vcaio
might nave Deen aeteciea ana awppeu
by proper vigilance and enterprise on
the part of those whose business it was
to guard tne puoiic interests.
It calls attention to the wide-spread
apprehensionlbat the prosecution will
fail through the influence the guilty
parties have with the administration,
and their close connection with the
leaders of the Bepublican party. It is
even intimated that they have received
material aid from District Attorney
Corkhill, while Attorney-General Mac
Veagh's strange conduct is unaccounta
ble. Corkhill charges the failure to
MacVeagh; and Cook, whom Mac
Veagh employed to take special charge
of the cases, says it was Corkhill, and
MacVeagh is as dumb as an oyster,
and absolutely refuses to perform the
duties of his office, though the Presi
dent declines to accept his resignation.
Brewster and Bliss wash their hands of
responsibility by alleging that the harm
was all done before they were retained
in the cases.
The truth is they have undertaken a
big job in this star route business, and
one they wish they were well out of,
for the men charged are men conspicu
ous for their active zeal in the service
of the party, and much of the money
they handled went into the campaign
fund, which carried Indiana, where
Dorsey superintended in person, and
Ohio, and insured the Republican vic
tory in the presidential election which
followed.
Mr. Arthur may be disposed to do
right, but he has a heavy load on his
shoulders and is placed in an exceed
ingly embarrassing position. Whether
he has the nerve to meet the situation
as the country expects and with credit
to himself remains to be seen.

under the circumstances he would not
insi3t upon an attachment for Storrs
and it was arranged tnat ne snouid tes
tifv at any time during the trial.
..... .
Tnomas JNortn tnen resumed tne
stand and was cross examined by Mr.
Davidge. J nst as tne witness was re
leased from the stand Guiteau improv
ed the momentary lull to make his first
speech of the day. He said : "I notice
my friend Henry Ward Keecber is do
ing some cranky work on this case. I
used to attend nis cnurcn and prayer
meetings, and if your honor knew him
as well as I do, you would not pay any
attention to him. There are a good
many people that tnink be is badly
cranked socially, and have no doubt
that Mrs. Til ton told the truth and that
he lied about it, and I tell him so pub
licly.
"Un well, well, prisoner, tnat will do
for you. said Mr. Davidge.
Gulteau was apparently satisfied and
nodded with a smile, saying: "That's
all right judge, I have had my say on
lieecner, I'm sausned.
Gen. John A. Lozan then took the
stand and was asked, "Do you know the
prisoner?" "Oh yes, of course you do,
General," broke in Guiteau ; Myou know
me very well rm nappy to meet you
again.

The first time be ever saw him was
when he (Guiteau) called upon him to
receive his influence. The eeneral im

sometmng wrong in bis mental arrange

Hubbard, a fanner living near the
Oneida community, knew Guiteau du
ring the six years he remained with
them. Witness had never been a mem
ber of tbe eommpnity bat had worked
for them. Jdis evidence was of little
importance beyond his statement that
Guiteau showed a quick temper and ir
ritability and was generally considered
peculiar.
Edward E. Smith was employed at
the Republican national committee
rAms during the late Presidential
campaign, and frequently saw Guiteau
hanging around the room. He thought
Guiteau was trying to secure the reco
nition of the committee, but was con
aent tnat ne never received any as
signment to speak. The witness thought
Giuteau very peculiar and frightful, and
rambling in nis conversation.
Guiteau here interjected his custom
ary comments; "This gentleman wasn't
in a position to know about matters
there. He was only a clerk any way.
Gov. Jewel), ex-Senator Dorsey, and
the rest of us boys were the ones that
did the work there.

John Morse, colored, attornev-at-law

Mrs. Kcoville then took the stand.
