The City of Paris, tike “ beautiful woman. spends a great deal of money upon her toilet; but, like an intelligent person, she includes in theexpenses of ber tuilet all outlays impera- uvely demanded by the aygiene of her citizens, ofber public bultdmgs, her promenades, und routes of communication. of alt kinds. Not- ‘withstanding the fact that in Paris the munic!- pal administration frequently chunges ‘hands, the sanitary condition of the city at the time of “the Exposition of 18:8 fully warrants the Placing of Paris in the rank of the most favored Capitals of Europe. It may even be seid with truth that Paris is the clean- est city iu the ‘world. This condition of thincs, however, bas not been brought about without considerable expenditures, ub- sorbed by a large class of select assistants, who operate with impiements of tho most approved Hod. The number of sanitary engineers has, on several occasions, had to be considerably foereased for variuus reasons, all having their cricin in a desire to accomplish the best results The cost of sweeping 2 portion of the public Toads, which was formerly distributed among the riverside residents, 18 now converted into a compulsory municipal tax, payable in specie. sweuping comprises an urea of 14,500,00 Woare metres, of which 5,000,6W métres ure set duwnto the account of, the riverside house- holders, and 6,50,W0 métres to the account of the city. “An urea of pearly 4,000.00 fquare métres, comprising macadumized roads ind gutters, is iutrusted to the cure of spe- Gal road laborers.

BUSINESS. Stocks Active and Lower, with Money Down to 4 Per Ceni. Denver & Rio Grande Raided—it Declares a Dividend of 11-2 Per Cent. The Produce Markets Active and Weak—A Gala Day for the Bears in Provisions and Breadstuils, e Causes—Open Weather, with Big’ Stocks of Hog Product Here, and a Big Wheat Crop in Indfa. FINANCIAL. Stocks were active and lower,’though money Was cusy at Gi percent. Denver & Rio Grandoe Wasuguin the specini feature. lt sold down steadily from the opening until 67 was reached, when a rally of 3 per cent ovcurred.’ A quarter- jy dividend of 1 per cent was’ declared, al- though the road is months bebindhand in tho payment of its coal and iron bills. Report said Mr. Gould was raiding the stock for the purpose of buying it, But there seemed to be a gencral movement of the lenders of the murket on the theory that anything was better than deuth by stagnution, and that if they could put stocks up by ordinary methods they would seo if buyers could not be brought in by lower prices. The bears. attacked several stocks in turn, among them Jersey Central, Wabash, Michizan Central, St. Paul, aud Northern Pucific. Of tho Just it was said that the bears sold 15,000 shares in the last hour. If so, the stock was taken with remarkable ease, a3 the price yielded very litue: No reason is known for this attack on Northern Pacific, as everytime connected with the roud isin the most satisfactory shape. But itis said the bears hoped to muke a break which would starta serious decline by discouraging the holders of subscriptions to the Oregon Hall- way & Nuvigution Compuuy and the Urezon & ‘Transcontinental, who control the Northern Pa- citic, and who have to furnish $20,000,000 in cash before next September te meet their subscrip- tions to the new stock of those companies. Beurs were jubilant, and predicted a further average decline ot 10 centsin the market. They believe that this downward: movement is under the direction of Mr. Gould; that he hus begun with the weak stocks and intends to put them all down, even including the Vancerbilts and the favorit investment stocks. But even the bears think this decline is forced only u3 a pre~ liminary to another advance. Cnicggo brokers repurted that buyers for in- Yestment have begun to cume around ayain, at- tracted by the lower prices, and are giving or- ders to buy at limits. At the close the market showed a slight im- Provement in tone over the lowest point of the da; St. Louls gossip reports that Wabash is giving four months’ paper, bearing § per cent interest, in payment of supplics und expenses. ‘Tne prices of stocks for the day will be found in the following table: yeow- ‘Open=: High- ate Stocks. ing. |: Do preiefed, Luke Brie x Western.

The Past says in regard to it: “The rumors on the street in ‘connection with the decline have been innu- merable, the principri ones Baving been that the company itself was in trouble; that the Mexican National Constructon Company was in trouble: and thut one or two Stock Exebunze firms which bave Leen identiticd with both these companies were in trouble, because loans which they had obtained on Denver & Kio Grande stock had been called: Mespecting.the trst Tumor, it is denied that the cumpzny is in any trouble; for that matter, the Leover &.

As to the second rumor, there 13 rbis foundution: that the company hus built and is Dusiiding # railroad in Mexicu, callmgz up from eubscribers to its stock cash installments, as thls stock has fallen to a discount ic the market. As to the third rumor, it is deuledon authority of the firms which are the subject of tho rumors, They say that such Denver & ito Grande stock fas they bold is nut in loans, butis paid for witn their own money; and that the runiors respect- ing them are simply scandalous. So much for the main rumors on the street. The Mexican Navona!

It is, therefore, to be inferred that there isa combination of interests agalnst the vroperties with which Gen. Palmer fs identified, und that these interests have separate purposes. Whether the fight has more than becun and what the outcome of it will be remain to bo seen.

The depression was supposed by some to be sturted by the report that stocks were demoral~ ized in New York, while others thought that it was chietly due to Tl. K. Jackson's estimate that British India has raised about 359,000,000 bu wheat this year. “Another reason named was the open winter, which has added a great écal to the feeding capacity of the country—left alive about all the pigs that have been dropped thus far, and awakencd fears for tho integrity of the packed product after warm Weather comes next spring. Itwas remembered that hog product bas sold very low after an open winter, and that rain graded very poorly at the same time. [ence the air was full of beurinfluences, The pressure wus greatest on January provisions and grajn, a great.deal of which had beeu carried over from two or three mouths ago, when it was bonzht at much higher prices than now.

Last yeur we had a super- abeadant yield, followed by a veary bard winter which involved n largo increase in consumption and waste. This year we have bad smaller crops; but that condition bids fair to be fol- lawed by an open winter, which will mean less consumption and jess waste. It is tnis that, amid even our Sterne necessities, we find the wind tempered to the lamb, whether shorn or not. itis now reported on good authority that the Minneapolis millers are experiencing great diif- ficulty in grinding, or rather crushing, the wheat of the new crop. It cakes after passing between the roliers, instead of granulating, as well edu- cated wheat will always do.

A Correspondent Who Calls for Thelr Strict Enforcement by the Commis- sioners. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. Crrcaco, Dec. 17.—When the City Fathers and Muyor, the organs and dispensers of the funds of the city, are kept on short allowance—tind no money for work that must be done—need moro police service than they have money to pay for —then comes the golden period when euch skulking interest, each abuse that hns escaped just burdens of taxation, has imposed its fair Share of public burdens upon their unguarded or defenceless neighbors—is summoned to show cause for these abuses, Then came the consideration of © saloon- licenses; and, first, We find they ure not collect- ed; second; we find they are remitted; third, we find that tney are far toolow. Then comes the license tax on vehicles that tear up and wear out our streets, and we learn that those who cost us most pay us least; that the saloonkeepers, and hackmen, and liverymen, and hucksters— and ali this gentry, under ban more or less in public sentiment—in sentiment as expressed in the pulpit and the newspaper—bave all the time been preferred and protected by electing a man to do it. It is the old method that guarded slavery, enabled an interest—tho crime of crimes—to rule the Nation—rule it with an iron rod—with a rule that would bave lusted until this hour, perbups fora century more, had not the usual infirmity of crime caused it to become so bold that it demanded, in obedience to the just logic of its existence, to be Allowed unlimited exten- siou, excluding and driving innocence and jus- tice to the wall. ‘Whom the gods wish to de- stroy they first make mad.’ So our railroad muguates disclose the “ gocrets of their prison-house,” confess their crimes, acknowledge , the justice of. the churges of extortion, show up their methods ‘ot wasting the public moneys unjustiy’ filched from the public pockets. ‘This they do when pushed by “short commons.” by declining receipts, by the necessities of consid- ering bow to live and pay their enormous divi- dends, in the presence of the problem, Sbull the companits. pay the moneys lor abuses, or sball they be abolished? when the question ts, Shull we neediesly pay 20 per cent commission on passenger fares? Then the railroad magnates ‘become reformers and tell the zgents: “It was all very well us long ig we could extort this com- mission in addition to our extortionate rates of but now that passenger rates are the public; Jower—that the compuny mlust pay the commis- jon—this abuse must stop. 4 a When rogues fallout honest men get their dues.” Hear the remarks ofa “truthful James” in the sulemn and secret convention of General P: wer Ayents ot Dec. 1; in Chicago on the question of paying commissions on the sitle of through pusseng “ By the long practice of paying, and by the luug unchecked ability to receive commissions, the p:ying ronds and the receiving agents buve Inanaged to dispose of vast amounts of the revenue derived from passenger earnings, and have thus despoiled the owners of. the rall- road property. or huve assisted in forcing the pussenger to pay much lirger rates for his rail- Fond pussage thin he would buve - been obliged to pay hud no commission been paid. For,” be coutinued, “the commissions puid by the jead- ing railroads amount to from 1to3 per cent of the gross revenue derived from passenger eurn- ES. “ ‘And he continuad: “If the owners of the property bad not been paid increased dividends from the money that would have been suved if commissions bad wot been puid, then the ruil- road compunies world bave been uble to quite Jargely reduce their passenger tariff, pay: 23 large dividends as have been paid In the past, and yetreduce their pussenger mites to & con- siderabie and appreciable extent. : *forough rates,” he continued, “ could read- ily be reducea from StolU per cent from the saving in commissions alone, siuce the amount “roud.- What a price the public paid as commissions aj centage on all competitive business. “fhis commission,” he continued, ‘is a bribe by which ticker agents are corrupted and sculp- erg supported.” What a confession is this! Now that war exists among the roads, and cach is trying to kill the other by cutting mites, it is no longer possitle to take what they choose from the public pocket—to extort exorbitant rates at pleasure. What did the railroad mac- nate care solong asthe public furnished him the money to bribe the ticket agents to discrim- inate in his favor? = Now he would reform and tear away these parasites: and tinds hims: Nd tothe Devil— augbed at asa “reformer!” Advised by the mocking ticket agent to stop stealing himself! ‘To take the beam out of his own eye before re- ioving the mote from his brother's! This reform could have been eifected years ago and millions saved to the public tbat have gone to bribery and corruption funds if our Railrond Commissioners had put our passenger Fates At two cents per mile, as on some roads in New York and New England has been the rate i ess yeurs. ied le mouey exacted from our le by extor- tionate rates is wasted in railroad, ware in Palle roud corruption fundy, in exorbitant sularies and commisstons—in lobbying at Springfield and Washington to defeat -inws and the execution of laws that would prove great blessings to every interest in the land, including every Bones nul-. ys for incui- clent and corrupt publieservants! The great fact is that these railroads are pub- Me highways, a3 our Constitution and. our Inws declare. They are great public interests which need the public care—n¢ lo be managed In the Interest or the public. ‘They are great ueglected trusts, and the trust-funds are being stolen and wasted—pouring down in vast tloods the maw of ous Goals aug vas No reform is possible until the public senti- ment demands {t. ® ae Iu IlWnois we bave an ideal railroad Inw; per- fect control over these creat interests is inthe hands of the public; but we intrust it to politi- ciuns, and as the miflrond olficers constitute a mighty and vigilant interest these politicians dare uot do their duty lest thoy dix their polit- ical graves. Itis the old story of the Treasury—a great big building, a great big safe, agreat big key, and a great bis thief to keep the key. There is no use in Iaws or commissions so long as they are not administered in the interests of the public. tis idie to call such criticism an attack upon railroad interests. Today their interests are tha public interests; and they have no vested inter- est in injustice. The real, true, lasting interest of every stock- holder in every railroad in thi3 country will be found in compelilng the agents to.whom he is forced to intrust the care of his interests to ob~ serve the “trusts” upon which alone they hold every churter in the lund. The great public will’yet unite with every gates fatly that, per- Granger and Communist in the land and demand the return of these properties to the public,on the ground that trusts abused give to the donor the rixot to resume the control of his property— the same principle that beheaded Charles I. and drove out the Stuarts, and put William of Grange on the throne of our Bogus progeni- tors.
