Speclal Correspondense of The Chieago Tribuns, Mrwarxex, Wis., Aug. 7.—Recent articles in Tex TRIBUKE a8 to the eyetems of insj.ection of gram as practiced in Chicago and in Milwaukee bave sttracted wide attention in the wheat-grow- ing districts of the Narthwest, if one may be- lieve what the operators say. You must know that many of our priocipal grain men have offices in Chicago and Milwaukee, and, aithough renerally resident in Milwsukee, are as moch in- terested 1n one city as the other. Therefore, the testimony of these men is of value. They agree in every particalar with the conspicuously fearless and able editorials a8 to the malpractices in Chicago lately poblished in Tue TriooNe. Io this city the Inepector of Gran is snnoally elected by vote of the members of the Cbamber of Commerce, and there is no oftice in the gift of that body of which they are more jealons. Whatever interest may be felt in other elections. that of Grain Inspector always excites keen dis- cussion. Mr. Hollang, the incambent, bas en- Jjoyod the position for yeara. He bas established s charscter for integrity and industry of 8o eu- duricg » pature that no one will now dream of attempting to oumst him, after tha failure of Mr. West's assanlt last election. The only complaint connected with the office is that ihe Inspector earns more money than any man io the graia business. It is popularly supposed that he pocketa £10,000 a vear, regn'arly. Va- rious attempts have been made to effect some cbange ip this respect, which, without doing in- Justics to farthful and meritorious officers, shall araw into the tressury all over and above a fair compensation to them. Next year, all Inspectors and asairtants will donbsless be paid handeome malsries and the residne o ioto the treasury. Now, a8 Lo the difference between Chicagd and Milwaukee's systems of inspection—this being what our operators say. In Chicago, 28 you bave akown, palitical mterests are predominant. But, worse than that, your Board of Trade have adopted such rigid caat-iron rules that it is al- most impossible to secure capable. honest in- spection under tham ; and theso rules have been chasuged and the mode of inspection varied so often thst shippers have lost all confidence in the abulity of the Board to eecurs for them common justice. One reason thatI bave mot ssen mentioned for the loss of Chicago's prestige m the wheat trade is this. Southwestern wheat is almost alwayas inferior even to Northern Hii- Dots and Wisconsin wheat. The very worst of these grades is thrown in with the lower grades from Wisconsin sad Minnesots, and the product 1s the lowest grade of marketable wheat. Alone, it would not grade st all. The Wisconsin and Mionesota wheat, unmixed, will grade higher, if sent to market in the condition in which it was abipped, than when it is made to do service in the way ivdicated, and the consequence 1s that abippers are compelled by this dishonest dodge 0 loso several cents a bushel in order to bring produce that would otberwise be hardly market- sble up to the arbitrary standard fixed by the Chicsgo Board of Trade. Nothing of that kind is permitted, or even thought of, in this city. Every car-load of wheat, as it comes into the freight-yard, is graded just for what it & worth If it ia Jlower than the rotoguized grades, it is eimply “rejected;” and there's the end on't. Thus, every farmer gota the value of his produce if he ships to Milwaukeo; but, if bo sbips to Chicago, it is & lottary whether he will arne. If his wheatis wanted to improve the guality of some poor sinff {rom the Southwest, it is & doad certainty that be will never see anything lika the worth of his sbipment. Farmers are slow in learning these tlungs, but when they do learn them they ge: the leason by heart, and take a5 long to for- Bet. Now, ses one consequencs of this state of af- {airs, above and beyond the mere volume of shipments to the two cities. Milwaukee-in- spected wheat sellsin New York and ali other Eastern markets, slways, soveral cents s bushel bLigher thao Clicaga. As our system of inspeo- tion, and the invarisble justoess and correctness of grading done by our Inspectors, has brought about this result, we are naturally jealons of interference with either. Juetly, we bave come to regard our Inspectors, snd their work, as the one thing, above all others, in which we must aud willbave purity and proper busincss principles applied. The price paid in New York being higher, that in Muwsukee corresponds, and these are the reasons why we are taking much ©0f Chicago's trade, The largest dealers who have enjoyed this basiness, however, are as mnch Chicago as Mil- waukes men, and it makes very little difference %0 them whother the stuff goss through ome Place or the otber.

Within the presen: week there has been derel- oped an orgauzation stvled *Tax-pavers' Union,” under thexgis of certain superannuated politiciaua. Retrenchment and reform in mu- nicipal affaira is the ostepsible-object, but, 28 the government of the municipalicy is all that cau be desired, the real object sypears to be the adrancement of the ndividual interests of a fow who have found that they camoot riee above thelr present level uuless they throw dust into the eyes of the bonest tax-payers. and divert at- tention fiom themselves while they clamber’into placa.

Such a terrible searon of inteuse snd long-continned cold was noprecedented in the fiozen North. Yet there were daya. about the beginuing and end- ing of the long cold sp=lis, tuat remiuded one of summer. At these fluctuuting periods 1t was not uncommou to go to bed with the mercury fiozen and the very atmosphers 8o icy that one could almost cat it 1nto chuuks, and rise 1n the morn- ing to find real Indisn-summer weather. with tho thermometer away up about 40 to 50.

Special Correspondence of I'ie Clicaas Tribune. Racrse, Aug. 7.—During the past week we have bad more than our shars of dreary, dis- couraging weather. Ths summer has beenan unusnally cold one, even for Racine. Crops of all kinds bave beeu a month behind those in the samo latitude along the Valley of the Mississippi and west, and the cold rains recurriog at inter- vals greatly injure cereals after they have strug- gled to matmity, It 18 well for our city that we are not indebted to our neighboring farmers al- together for food. Inland, on tke line of the several rauroads lesdiog to the lake, prospects are much more promising. Even now, should Providence see fit to put op the thermometer about twenty degrees, aud guarantee us clear siies for two or three weeks, we aliould have lit- tle occasion to growl SOCTALLY oar city is dull. Our gazelle-eyed belles and stalwart beans explore the source of the roman- tic river, or float peacefully ont the barbor be- yood the bar. Lately, arrangements were made by 2 pasty of these young people to participate in the pleasures of river-bathing; but when one of the members—a gentleman from Chicago— proposed divesting limself of Lis cost aad gloves, the *painfal modesty ™ of the yoang ladies wag shocked, and thoy abandoned the project m utte: disgust. Boating on our river wouid ba more popular than it now is if the city ordivance against batlung before certain hours was enforced. As the mutter now stands, it 18 uneafe to take & party of lsdies on the water unul after dark ; 1o every nook aod bayon alung the banks of the river, grest strapping, grimv feliows are pluvging abous like crocodiles, and the approach of & bost is the eignal for a rush to the bauks where they can see better and be bot- ter seen darcing, whooping, sud throwing up their beeld n 8 manuer tuac would be creditable to s herd of Patagonisns.

Mr. and Mrs. R. H. Baker also entertained s few friends at their spacions mansion on lsst Mondsy evening. While the elder members _of the party were wrangling over a game of whist, the young people were aimiring the magnificent piintings, or discoursing ‘‘most excellent music.” Gen. George A.

Svecial Corresponaence of Ihe Chicago Tribune, Kexosua, Wis., Aug. 7.—The clerk of tho weather must have been in & moist mood lately, 28 he has saturated the earth with heavy show- ers, thereby cansing no inconsiderable damage tothe crops. The farmers carrya long face hereabouta and talk dubiousty of the coming bar- vest; some of them spicing their lamentations with profanity—juet to give them weight one would suppose, or to csiry conviction to the minds of their hearers tbat a famine is imminent. Wheat ia somewbat injured, but will not roat if cool weather prevails. Whole fields of oats are down, fiattened by the heavy fall of rain, with no prospects of fiilling. The hay crop promises fair if there is a chance to cut and stack it, which, thus far, the wet vesther has materially inter- fered with. Corn, potatoes, and other ciops may Drove a success in spite of this peculiar season, and theo the farmer will not altogether lose his faith in Mother Earth’s power to reproduce. e LECTURES.
