r.i.t TITUS STATIC'TUB CASH.
Ell Titus of Kansas City , the general man
ager of tlio American Llvo Stock commission
company , Is In the city mid makes this state
ment regarding his company.
"During the fearful depression of the stock
business In and prior to isyj. " said Mr.
'I'ltua with emphasis , "sonic stock-misers In
the neighborlipod of Kansas City , in discuss
ing the depressed condition of the stock busi
ness , tlio exorbitant freight rutos and the
ononnons costs of marketing stouk rendering
profit almost out of the quest Jon , took steps
to reduce tbcso costs as much as possible.
.Being satisfied that little or notli-
' ing * could bo dona towards causing a
reduction of railroad charges , wo
naturally turned our attention to the prices
charged or rather rules ilxed by stock yards
companies nud llvo stock exchanges for
transferring , yarding , feeding and selling
Block. Hiiro we found much that was wrong
in It ? elf , and in some cases arbitrary charges
that were little loss limn conlisontory. But
wishing to market our stock nt a minimum
cost , ovcry oITort was made to avoid antago
nizing the Interest of persons engaged in the
business. To that end wo organised the
American Llvo Stock commission company ,
subscribed and paid for capllul stock and had
It duly Incorporated. Our business is trans
acted exactly llko that of any Individual
or firm , Incorporated or chartered Instltu
Jlon acting as llvo stock commls-
1 9(011 ( merchants. Tlio company In every case
t gives quell n bond as Is required by tno stock
yards company , our business Is transacted
just ns others transact theirs , receiving and
selling stock , charging the same comndsslous
and expenses that others do and In every cnso
living strictly up to the rules of the stocit
yards company and the llvo stock exchange.
In this city , Mr. George S. Brown , ono of the
pioneer comnilsoloti men and n charter inom-
i bor of the llvo stock exchange represents the
company. The only enu.se of complaint
against us by other commission firms that I
know of Is Ihnt our company Is a producers
company , JLhat Is , uoouols eligible to mem
bership who is not a stock raiser
or producer. In other words It
Is a ttort of a granger inovo to ,
prevent middlemen from fattening on our
fat.
' ! ln May , 1880 , our ofllco was opened In
Chicago mid soon uftor in Kansas City , and
, March 1 , 1800 , Ihls olllco was opened' and
business was commenced hero. Until lalcly nil
bos gone along serenely at this point but this
wcok Mr. Brown , our representative , ro-
. colvod tlio following notice , which fully ex
plains itself :

The notioo served on buyers read as

ONLY rOU VIOLATING TUB HUI.ES.
Ylco President A. B. Waggoner of the llvo
took oxchmtgc , with no little emphasis said :
"Tho ivbdlo trouble In this matter Is that tbo
American LlvcS took commission company
does not llvo up to the rules of the exchange.
It comes In with n plan of Us own to orauo
the constitution , by-laws and rules ofthoox-
change , aud attempts In an indirect way In

qulro , yet part nnd In many cases the greater

This of course breaks down the prices agreed
iponby nil the members of thooxcbango and

ad faith. If the charges wcro excessive or
: i any way out of proportion to the capital In-
cstud , the talent employed , the expense In-

Polish Jews emigrating to the United States
has been received with considerable sntisfae- "

both among the working classes and busi

Jews to England and Lord Salisbury's gov

Iholr way lo America are of the
most squalid doscrlplion mid it is probable -

and other American cities nnd most of whom
are destitute. Au Odessa dispatch says that

naku for a coltonwood bcdsioad. And like
hla Industrious Insert the peculiar work of
ho lobbyist is done at night.
A chapter on the lobbies of past sessions
rould make nicy nud sensational rending ,
t would show how the railroads , the Pull

1st of cuppers whoso bushiest It was to debauch -
bauch members of the legislature , leading
'hem into snares from the meshes of which
.hey could never extricate themselves.
Go to the dav books and lodgers

Today there are members traveling OKM'rco

There are members who are led Into a little

ho tlmo the luckless member stands hi need
if a friend. The friend is there , nnd cheor-
tully puts up the money. From tnat
nomcnt the legislator is like clay

I was written , from Iho moment the logis-
ator becomes thus involved he is the crcu-

ilin.
ilin.Thero
There Is n swnrm of lobbyists hovcr-
ng over the present lagislaturo.
The variety is ereatj but the
skill of some of them has not reached iho
finest point. The railroad crowd is prclty
much the same as of old. As un innovation
i. sprinkling of farmers hus been brought
nto the lobby and they hcolr lo palm Ihem-
selves off as simon pure "farmirs' friends. "
The alliance loaders , however , have spoiled
noslof them and ai-o herding their sheep
, hat they may not bo devoured.
But all things considered there are fewer
of the legislators of other days who know how
to play a double part than hud been expected.
And mauy of these who have como hero keep
so nloof from these whom they suspect of sin
ister purposes lluil thus far the work of the
capper and oil room spider has been far from
roniunoralivo.
There uro lu llio legislature , howoverspoc-
iinens of the blackmailer and fraud as there
have have boon In years gone by. There are
Lhosn who hnvo introduced bills to extort
blood money for themselves and there nro
Ihoso who hnvo Introduced similar bills for
others in order lliat both may dcrivo n beuo-
fit from the party bled. It is not difficult to
distinguish tbcso measures. Tholr framers
are never at ease when iho bills como up for
consideration. They liavn to stand
the penetrating stare of tholr doubt
ing brothers and llvo in fear of
being called to account by the Independent
press wuenover the proposedonactmentsshall
formally como up for final consideration. Up
to tills tlmo there has been little donn to encourage -
courage the scheming lobbyist nnd boodle
worker. But there will bo au influx which It
is felt will increase until tjio close of the ses
sion shall have bocu reached.
Among the most disgusting sights nt the
capital uro tbo ox-members turned pro
fessional lobbyists. The most conspicuous of
this class of parasites is the whilom Lieu
tenant Governor Games , who has boon devoting -

today Woodward left town. An order has
