WELCOME ADDRESS IN BEHALF OF THE FRENCH RES- IDENTS OF WASHINGTON. A delegation of the French residents of the Dis- trict of Columbia waited upon our distinguished French visitors at the Arlington yeste: tter= noon at 4 o'clock, when an address of welcome was delivered, in French, by Professor Larroque, the spokesman of the French residents, of which the following 1s a translation: Gentlemen Delegates: In our capacity as French citizens, and insignificant as is our little colony, we think that we are performing an act of Patriotism in extending to you a tful welcome In this beautiful capital of the United States. We greet You, gentlemen, as representatives of France who have been oftictally invited by the tree citizens of free America to take part in the celebrating the an- niversary of the capture of Yorktown, the last stronghold of tyranny among a generous peo- le, Where, upon its battered walls, the va- tant sword of France, in conjunction with the American forces, firmly planted the stars and stripes. We greet you also gentlemen, as the noble descendants of those iNustrious heroes, La- fayette, Rochambeau, Filly, Grasse, Viomesnil and others, of that galaxy of great Frenchmen, in a ‘word, whose glorious names occupy a distinguished ace In the annals of American independence, by he side of the ever memorable name of the ‘im- mortal George Washington. Humble as we are, ‘we are proud of being your countrymen, especially to-day, inasmuch as the high honor conferred upon you by this grateful and” hospitable people. is reflected upon us, Who are — inalienable Members of a great and noble nation, a nation distinguished among all the rest’ in the annals of glory, of France, to whom, until our it aying da hall be our happiness and pride to belong. We are rejoiced to be able to tell. you, gentlemen, how sincerely all the sons of France residing at Washington love and vencrate in you their adored native land. We should be glad to be suMielently numerous to testify you by deeds worthy of you which should be more eloquent than words, how dear to us is your presence here to- | day. But, alas! our good will which 1s powerless in point ‘of uumbers and resources, can, in the inldst of ovation which surrounds you, but’accom- and follow you with its most heartfelt. and wishes. ‘The French colony in New York, Which 1s comparatively an ‘Immense one! has already undertaken to carry out our desires by a magnificent demonstration in which we all joy. fully take part in advance, with both heart and soul feeling convinced that you will be able to say on your return to France that, while the United States have performed thetr duiy of gratitude and hospitality toward you with exquisite delicacy, your countrymen have aca ‘welcomed you With patriotic accents and comlial fraternity.

Sentiment Is the order of the hour, while the stern realities of life seem to be at a discount. Witness the neglect @f solid aid to the needy Mic’ Et attention to this branch of charity, history would read better. ‘The sentimental columns of the newspapers are devoted to the murderer Guiteau— reusons Why he “removed” the President, and where he can insist on being tried.

And this matter cannot be adequately treated without figuring up the number of farmers who work for a living and the number of consumers, both those who specu- late and those who teed. It is reported in the newspapers that in the re- cent fire in Morell’s storehouse poor Mr. Vander- Dilt lost a picture costing $55,000.

Then the Board of Trade directors found themselves short, and decided that corn was only worth sixtx-two. 'So corn corners in Chicago are only a repetition of Jay Gouidisim in Wall street.” Directors get short or long and make new laws to sult their deal. Thus eminently respec- table frauds win, while men who pay a hundred cents on a dollar are at a discount. ‘The judge in chambers in Chicago has very prop- eriy, or improperly, charged the grand jury in ref- erence to a confiding publie’s buying and selling wheat and corn, grain and provisions.

A large delegation might be summoned from Wall street, probably equal in numbers to the democratic convention held this week at Albany. If the officers of the court or the court itself has had nothing to do with grain speculation during the last year, somuch the better for the court. Our readers may expect to see grain and pro- visions sell much higher here before another har- vest than they do in Europe. The immigrants are coming to a country where the cost of living will be far more than it is in the one they have lett. groy “Our exports of wheat and corn alone will be €200,000,000 to $250,600,000 less than for the corre- sponding date r. ‘We read that tl ding and New York Central railroads are to be consolidated; this probably will, include and improve the preferred bonds. ‘The fight among the trunk lines still continues, and fares and freights are only about one-uarte to one-third of what they were a year ago, and oni: half the amount to move. We read that Mr. Van- derbilt intends to bring all the railroads in this country to terms. The New York Central will re- duce its dividends to four per cent, and so will Lake Shore, according to a semi-official report. That the government of the United States will suspend specie payment within two years, if it continues to use all its surplus revenue in baying bonds that no one wants to sell, is among the pos- sibilities. ‘The money market at all the great financial cen- tres of the world, including New York, is higher than It has ever been at this season of the year, The question naturally arises, is there money enough in existence to float all ‘the wild schemes and worthless trash that are now current as se- curities?

I think there Is much more proof of Guiteau’s insanity than of Mason's.” “Another trouble we will have to meet,” sald the lawyer, “is the jury.
