Itabcock, of Wisconsin, chairman of
the congressional campaign commit
tee, after the St, Louis convention
will return hero and begin uctlvc work
in the campaign to elect a republican
majority in the house of tho Fifty-Fifth
congress. He lias convinced himself
that tho main efforts of tho democrats
will be directed to electing a majority
of the next house rather than to elect
a president. For tho republicans to
elect a president and fail to control tho
house would, iu his judgment, bo
calamity, and he purposes to leavo no
stone unturned in an effort to choose
at least a safe working majority iu
that body in which all revenue legisla
tion must originate. Congressman
Mercer, of Ncbruskn, has been selected
as secrotary of tho committee and W.

Speculative Kmictloii llim Not ('bunged tlia
IIiikIiiorh Outlook.
Nkw Yomc, Juno 13. R. G. Dun &
Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade says'J
Speculative reaction lias not In tho least
changed tho business outlool:. Tho Hctitlous
prices inutle for wheat and cotton meruit no
good except for Individuals, and tho olituiKo lo
prices more nearly iu nccord with nutunl rela
tions of demand and supply only conform to
conditions which huvo been well known for
months. Tho government mport ns to wheat
indicates a much smallor yield thun anybody
really expects, but that bus becomo so much
the rulo that tho report has no leal Influciico
nnd tho principal effect was tho serious depres
sion caused by largo hales In anticipation of
tho report, which secmod to bo thoroughly
known In advance to some speculators. Tho
government estimate as to cotton was unex
pectedly favorable and has caused u decline of
more than half a cent In a single wool;, but It
Is only just to say that some reaction from
artificial prices would havo come earlier If In
formation much more reliable than that of tho
government had not been persistently dis
credited. Failures for tho week havo been 210 in tho
United States against ail last year, and y Iu
Canada against .4 last year.

I would bo heartily in favor of amending tho

cheering, as thoy left tho police station
