It says: "Criticism Is made by negroes who yoted the Third party ticket of those who voted the county Democratic ticket It the Republican who voted for the straight Dem ocrat is a traitor, certainly the Re nubllcan who voted for the Third porty is lite wise a traitor. Tnose wnue Republicans who are charging Repub lican defeat unon the negro voters should remember that when the time came for the latter to choose between the kind of Democrat they wanted to vote for they chose to suit themselves and refused to vote for a party which was trying to kill the Republican party and to organize on its ruins a party composed of weakkoeei white Re publicans and Democrats, to the ex clusion of respectable colored people. The Republican party went into devi ous paths ignoring the faith and bowing. at every cross-roads to weaver ana ms Detticoat escort." Of office seekers there is no end. It is probable that the vacant position of State Treasurer will be filled Satur day. ' - .Tleetinz of an Important Committee. CjriOAOO, Nov 17. The Committee on Tneoioglcal Seminaries, appointed at the last session oi tne f resoyierian General Assembly at Portland, Ore., held the first of its regular sessions here to-day.

St. Louis, Nov. 17. The Army of Tennessee was called to arms to-day. It was not the voice of "Old Tecumseh" but that of his clerical son, who ap pealed to the old command of -his father to rescue Irom the poesesoion of labor organizations the monument of General Shermm, and roused them to ! indignation. Just after the socU 'y of the Army of Tei nessee had been called to order this morning. Rev. Tbos. E. Sherman, son of the Gen rat, was in vited to address the meeting. He was in the conventional garb of his crder and spoke for a tew minutes Ns lth great feeling of the affection which the children of Gen. Sherman entertained for the survivors of his father's old command. Then he turned his remarks to the monument which the family; is providing for the tomb of tne dead General, the construction of which it delayed by the refusal of the striking granite cutters at Westerly, Conn,, to allow it to be removed to the West. In a yoleesad, but passionately Indignant he saidr " Juat .about the time work was finished the strike occurred in the granite quarries and the fin ished monument stands there now, and there is no power in this country, in State or nation to more it, to move that monument from the hands of ihe union." His frame quivering with emotion he continued: "They will not consent to let us have it moved and I only know one way to get it, and that Is to organize one or his old regiments and go there and take it by force. Prolonged applause-1 The family cannot even move our father's tomb stone from the spot where these work" men hold it enclosed." Indignation iu the audience. There is power, then, even nigner and stronger than tne power that you conquered and our gen eration has got to meet the problem of conquering or at least subduing to law that great power." There was dead silence for a moment as the . speaker concluded and then there waa a burst of applause, which swelled into a mili tary cheer for the spirited son oi tne old commander. The Bherman monument committee was summoned to meet and prouaoiy will take action in the matter. ; LATEST FOREIGN NEWS.

Stocks In New York Yesterday Tne Grain and Provision markets of Chicago: i " New Y"ork, Nov. 17. The stock market, although irregular in early trading, was, in the main, higher. The advance in leading railway shares was equal to i$ per cent., but some specialties scored much greater im provement. Distilling and Cattle Feeding sold up 15 per cent., and was higher and active all day on reportad absorption of Western rivals and the payment for their plant in casn. The upward movement brought very little increase of business and the lack of enthusiasm on the bull side finally in duced the bears to make vigorous dem onstrations against the list. Brokers identified with , a leading operator known to have pessimistic views about the future of the railroad situation, were the leading sellers. Omaha, common, fell off li per cent because the directors-took no action on the pay ment of a dividend. The remainder of the list yielded only i to 1 per cent, despite the pounding by the bears and the marketing of some long stapk. The strength of Sterling exchange, which led to some very strong talk about ex ports of gold in the near future, was used with some effect against the mar ket. On the other band, the banks and Trust companies are placing their funds freely on time at rates lower than those current of late and the man agers of these institutions would natu rally be slow in adopting sucn a policy if they regarded the efflux of gold as imminent. Industrials, if anything, received better support than the rail way list. The close was weak. Sales were 261,000 shares listed stocks; 18,000 unlisted. . Chicago, Nov. 17. Hcg products soared maiestically skyward to-diy. To-neht, compared with last evenlne, pork is up 32ic, lard 20o and Bhort ribs 15c.

Free trade, pure and simple, was im possible, for the oniy proper way to raise mooey to carry on the Govern-: ment was by customs tarm xne tana, however, would be reduced along con servative lines in such manner as to lessen tbe cost of living to the common peopje.

Tbe SEartna Washington Monnmnte Case. Richmond. Va.. Nov. 17,-In the Supreme Court of Appeals to-day Judge Fauntlerov delivered tne - opinion in the celebrated case of. Colbert and Klrtlev acainst Shennerd, the lower court being sustained. This case is better known as the Martha washing- ton monument case, in which the plaintiff sue the defendant for 120,- 000 on alleged breach of contract. Tne declaration sets forth that the defend ant agreed to sell to the plaintiff a certain lot of land near FredericHE- burg containing the Martha Washing ton monument, but wnen tne stipu lated amount was tendered to Mr. Shepperd he refused it. The case was taken to the Fredericksburg courts. The jury found for the defendant. -: In the declaration is filed a note from Shep nerd, an extract from which reads: "I hereby agree to erive to Messrs. J. W. Colbert and W. F. Kertley, a sixty-day option on the lot containing about two acres of land, with the Martha Wash ington monument and a large marble shaft thereon.for 12,500," The defence argued that the 'contract did not stipu late the selling of the monument. More Complete Control by the Commis sion Over this Clauge of the Lsw-Tbe Commission, Not the Railroads Ar biters tn Alleged Cases of Excep tion to the Bale Against Dls- crimination, Washington, Nov. 17.The Inter- State Commerce Commission today announced its decision of the important ; cases'brought by the Georgia Railroad Commissioner against the Cincinnati, New Orleans - and Texas Pacifia Rail way company, the Louisville and Nash- j ville Railroad company and other rail-1 roads and steamship lines, seven cases in all, involving rates for longer and shorter hauls from Cincinnati and other Ohio river points and from New York aud other North Atlantic ports to points in Southern ten itory. The long and short clause of the inter-State Commerce law is construed by the com mission a the light of .more than five years operation of the iaw and the de cisions heretofore rendered by the commission and the courts The main points decided are aa follows: The fact of a receivership for a de fendant carrier subsequent to the com plaint should not interfere with the -progress of the proceedings brought merely for the purpose of railway reg ulations. , This is important to the Richmond Terminal, Georgia, Pacific and other tied up roads. "k The phrase, "common control, man agement or arrangement for contin uous carriage or shipment" in the first section of the act to regulate com merce was intended to cover all inter- tate traffic carried through over all rail or part water and part rail lines Receipt successively by two or more carriers for the transportation of traffic shipped, under through bills for con tinuous carriage over their lines is as sent to common arrangement for such continuous "carriage or shipment, and a previous formal arrangement between them is not necessary to bring such transportation under the terms of the law. The total rate for through carriage over two or more lines, whether made by addition of established loc i, or of through and local rates, or upon a less proportionate basis, is , the through rate that is subject to scrutiny by tbe regulating authority. - How the rate is made is only material as bearing upon the legality of the aggregate charge, and how any reduction may be aceom pushed is a matter for the carriers to determine among themselves. Competition of carriers, sum act to the Iuter-State Commerce act does not create circumstances and conditions wnicn tne carriers can take into ac count in determining for themselves, in the first instance, whether they are justified in charging more for a shorter tnan for longer distance over their lines, nor dos the competition of mt-ketsor different lines for tbe sale of commodities at given points served by both lines. To determine the force aud effect oi such competition involves consideration of commercial questions peculiar to the business of shippers, such as the advantage of business lo cation, comparative economy of pro duction, comparative quality and mar ket value of commodities, all of which are entirely disconnected from the cir cumstances and conditions under which transportation la conducted. Carriers cannot create abnormal sit uations by making rates which equal ize advantages and disadvantages of localities and thereupon claim justifi cation for greater charges on shorter hauls on the ground that, the lesser long haul charges, which accomplish such equalization, are necessary to se cure Increase in trmc over their lines. The carrier has the right to jtfdge ia the first instance whetner it is justified in mating a graater charge for a Shorter distance in all cases wbere the Circumstances and conditions are wholly upon its own line or through competition for the same traffic with carriers not subject to regulation under the lnter-btate CommUsion act. In other cases ihe circumstances and con ditions are cot presumptively dissim ilar and the cart if rs must not charge lees for longer distances, except on order of this commission and the proof will be put on the carriers. JJpun application for relief under the Fourth section proviso of the Inte Stae act the carrier is not limited by the rules of evidence and may present to the commission every material rea son for the order in its favor. There seems to be no limitation upon the power of the commission to grant re lief under that proviso when, after in vestigation, the commission is satisfied that the interacts of commerce and common firmness to carriers require that exception should be made. Cases No 321 and No. 325 are dismissed. In case Nos. 314, 316, 316, 317 and 326 the defendants are ordered to cease and desist from charging: more to shorter than to longer distance points men tioned in thecomplaints,or file applica tion for relief and enow cause thereon wittun tne time specified, The decision is in the line of more complete control by the commission oyer tbe long and short haul clause of - - inn nninmiaaion i n ana uj m.. . and not railroads arbiters in casto Hotrod to iustifv exceptions to tne general rule that roads must not charge more for snort tnan 4ong tjau.
