East Tennessee incomes, West Shore trust receipts, and Erie second consols were tho only issues tkat indicated speculative interest, on favorable reporta respecting the progress of the reorganizing jeheme. Central lowa issues were strong, and a little More active than for some time past. Stocks opened weak and prices irregular, within less than of last evening's closing quotations, and on moderate fluctuation remained steady until 11 •'dock. From that time until the close there was a downward tendency, in which Union Pacific was most prominent. The market did not close at the lowest quotations. Asa rule the differences were for small fractions. The botuun figures were rerally reached after midday. Out of respect the memory of the Vice-president the exchange dosed at 1:30.

figures one way or the other invariably move tho market, so to-day they helped the depression, though they wore in a great measure expected. The fact that the session was the first business day of the month, and a less than halfday's session at that, owing to monthly deliveries taxing up the first hour, and an adjoumroentof the entire afternoon session also tended to make the business of a holiday character. Pretty much all foreign advices helped the ‘ bears.” In corn and provisions the deliveries were moderate, and not such as to attach to themselves any significance. Prevision dealers made little or no attempt to hold up the market, whieh, for want of this support, tended very slightly downward. The only things savoring of a feature were the purchases of January lard at 6.15®6.17*9c by the packing companies. They kept the market cleared. Flour was quiet and unchanged.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE. The Ditch Problem. I the Editor of the Indianapotie Journal: By your permission I will throw a little light upon the ditch qnes ion, which has been puzzling many of your readers during the past month. As given it reads: “A man has a ditch 100 rods long, and he lets it out to two men to dig, at $1 per rod. As there is a little difference in the ground, they agree that one is to have 87hi cents per rod. anil the other $1.12 per rod, beginning at different ends. How much ditch must each man dig to receive just $50.” As originally given it was 7 shillings and 9 shillings per rod. This was when each of the States couuled their money in shillings, varying from 5 shillings and (5 pence to 8 shillings to the dollar. The question was current in New York forty years ago, and can be worked on this plan and no other. Let “Student'’ and others trv it. O. M. Tvukr. MCNCIE, Ind., Nov. 30. Prohibit Saloons. To the Editor of the Indianapolis Journal? It is admitted by all intelligent and unprejudiced persons that the greatest evils of the liquor traffic are embodied in the places called saloons, where intoxicating liquors are dealt out to be drunk upon the premises where they are sold. The universal verdict of mankind is that these saloons are public evils. In this land pinoty persons out of every one hundred will concede or maintain that they are “only evil, and that continually.” This being the case, the question arises, why are they permitted to exist! Why don’t enlightened legislation, based upon this just and clearly prevailing public conviction, strike directly at these evil saloons and wipe them out! I have been studying tnese questions for some years, and the more I study them the more 1 am surprised that in the course of so much agitation upon the subject of the evils of the liquor traffic, no one has suggested a direct and concentrated attack upon its citadels, the saloons. The resistance to such an attack must., in the nature of the case, be feeble and small. Few men who respect themselves and public opinion could be induced to face the world and defend saloons. No respectable defense eonld lie made for them. The greed of their gain would be about the only interest enlisted in their behalf. The absolute prohibition of the manufacture and sale of liquors presents entirely different questions—such as vested rights ia property, personal liberty, and at least an

appearance of sumptuary interference and regulation: and such prohibition has never been entirely effective. In fact, it is an open question whether the evils of the liquor traffic, as carried on under general {irohibition. are not greater than thev are under free iquor. The best thought upon this subject is settling to the conclusion that a wiser policy than general prohibition is the restraint and regulation of such saloons as mav be allowed to exist under high taxation, and providing power to prohibit them entirely under ’ocal option. The objection to this policy is that it leaves the saloon in existence and widely prevalent and fortifies its position in the spirit of human greed that will indorse and nourish it as a tax producer. Again I ask. why should we have saloons at &1B Surely, it is possible to enact and enforce a law’ prohibiting the sale of intoxicants to be drunk at. npon or about any building or premises. or public place, or public meeting; a law would make liquor-drinking a private and personal act. instead of a public nuisance. With the sale of liquor in this manner, as free as the sale of any other article, there could be no complaiut of an infringement upon vested rights or personal liberty, or of sumptuary interference and restraint. With the attractions and allurements of the fascinating and powerful saloon out of the way, the moral onslaughts upon the drink habit would have free course to run, and be glorified in great triumphs, of course an attempt to prohibit saloons will be desperately opposed by the saloon influence in politics. We will be told that it will be impossible to enforce such a policy: that it will cause m ore liquor drinking than is now done in the saloons: that all revenue from the traffic will be lost, and some will say that thev will never consent that the accursed stuff shall bo sold in any manner, but the great majority of the plain people are looking at this matter from pure, practical. common sense stand-points. They know that if a general public sentiment shall demand the abolition of saloons, the saloons must go. That great end gained, the minor objections will largely and sappear. It is not to be expected that men will stop using intoxicants, but it may be honed that such use will be greatly diminished when the conveniences and temptations of the saloon are removed, and in that day even little children will know that a better era has dawned upon humanity. Logansport, Nov. 30. Mac B. How Women Differ from Men, At least three men on the average jury are bound to disagree with the rest just to show that they’ve got minds of their own; but there is no disagreement among the women as to the merits of Dr. Pierce’s “Favorite Prescription.” They are all unanimous in pronouncing it the best remedy in the world for ail those chronic diseases, weaknesses and complaints peculiar to their sex. It transforms the pale, haggard, dispirited women into one of sparkling health, and the ringing laugh again reigns supreme in the happy household.
