The receipts of native cattle were fair
The demand for butchers cows and heiters
was good and quite a number were sold at
strong prices. Local butchers were good
buyers today taking large share OF the
offerings. There were no feeders on the
market today, consequently no change IN
prices. The market closed strong.
The receipts of hogs were good today,
there being over 1,6O0 head in the yards
The market opened weak at yesterday s
prices and continued weak and on the de-
cline till the close, closing strong. 1Oc
lower. Spectators were timid about tax
ing hold of the offerings and quite num-
Der of loads were held over. The bulk of
the hogs were bought by the packers and
top prices were paid for the best packing
hogs. Heavy hogs again brought the top
figure and quite a number were sold. The
market closed weak and 10 cents lower.

TONIGHT WILL sE HALLOWEEN
S't'xens Should Look Out for Their
Gates; and Young Ladies' for Their
oreams-some Customs Of the
Evening,

Io-night the Portland citizen will do we'll
TO watch his front yard gate, and put cab

VIII be All Hallows' Eve, or the evening be-
Iora All Hallows' or All Saints Day. All
SAINTS Day takes its origin from the CONVEX
sion In the seventh century of the Pantheon
at Rome into Christian place of worship.
Perhaps it was in this fact that the young
America got the suggestion that Halloween
is the proper time 'to make Rome howl"
High church influences have never been
sufficient in Maine to make Halloween the
popular anniversary that it is in states like
Maryland or Virginia or in England. But
there is generally more or less harmless mis-
chief In Portland, such as the unhanging of
gate; the throwing of cabbage heads and
like troublesome antics. including the
mysterious ringing of door bells.
These mischievous pranks are chiefly the
occupation of audacious youths without
doors. In doors the young ladies have GER
tain less rough but not less time-hopored
observances to attend to. These obseryances
belong to all countries, some fourishipg in
America. some in England, and some in
both.
There is. for instance popping" custom
as popular In America as in the old country.
where 1t originated. One girl heats shovel
| red hot. Two chestnuts are then named
after two OF the company, as, Jennie and
Jack. In few minutes they begin to sput-
ter and when they pop with much noise ana
confusion it is judged by the method of pop
| ping how the love will terminate. If Jennie
pops away tits surmised that it is meant as
an invitation for Jack to follow and capture
her, but if Jack pops he is not for her. II
the two pop side by side or away together, it
is the happiest of auguries. If the pair of
chestnnts burn up into flame and consume
together IT foretells happy married future.
Then there is the ''eating of the apple"
| The first demands walk through long
corridor, when, IL the young lady does not
see her lover, she must return backward, 60
/ ing to her room and eating the apple before
| a looking glass while she combs her hair.
She will then see her future husbands face
over her shoulder. Pairing an apple in one
long pairing, throwing it over the shoulder
and letting It fall is favorite spell of the
| night. II it falls SO as to resemble a letter
that will be the first letter of coming lovers

the glass she will see face beside her own.
which will be that of the man she is to
marry. This test is very trying one. and
some cases have been reported where deli
cate girls have tainted from fright, their i'm

The persistency of falsehO0d is nowhere
better illustrated than in the assertions of
the Democratic papers in this campaign.
Here is paragraph from the Boston Globs
the other day:
=, lie me ASK you. under the protective system
OF Inc past 20 years. where is your c. mmerce p,
asked Congressman Crisp at Faneuil Hall on Sat
uroay nignt. And voice In the crowd replied.
Engiand has got It," That tells great deal In a
few words There are some people who think we
shou not allow ourselves any commercial liner
" because our great rival has CONNER cia liberty.
10 the loss OF our commerce we are now paving
the penalty for acting upon this absurd notion IN
case Of war we suppose The same befogeed res SON
ers VIII say we ought not to make use Of the latest
improved guns because England uses them.
Here is an assumption that the protective
tariff Of the last twenty years has brought
about decline Of our commerce. II is
wholly untrue. Our coastwise commerce
has increased from 1,639,214 tons In 1s4o To
100000 tons in $780, So also has our foreign
commerce Increased. Our average annual
exports and imports were fifty per cent
larger per inhabitant In the decade between
1871 and 1881 than In the decade between
1851 and 1861. When Mr.. Crisp asked hi
question In Faneuil Hall the answer shoult
have been. not England has got 1t :" but 81
Is still with us, and many times greater an,
more prosperous than ever before"
What Mr.. Crisp had In mind, although hi
question did not indicate 1t, would have beer
brought out in this question: "Let me ash
you, under the protective system of the past
twenty years, where is your foreign carrying
trader"
And this is the answer to that question /.

The Boston Herald reasons that Mr.. Car
Isle showed himself safer Speaker than
Mr.. Reed has been, because under Mr.. Car
Isle no silver bill was passed, while under
Mr.. Reed there has been silver legislation
which the Herald considers pernicious.
The Herald seems to have fallen into the
idea that the Speaker and not the House
kgislates and that 1t was Mr.. Carlisle's will
that prevented silver legislation in the last
Congress, and Mr.. Reeds that forced 1t in
this. Thesfacts are very different. In the
last Congress the Democrats were in the ma
jority, Democratic President was in the
chair, and the United States Senate was
free silver stronghold as at present. The
Democratic party had only to say that 1t
would pass free coinage bill and it could
have been done. But Mr.. Cleveland, and
perhaps Mr.. Carlisle ana other leaders. saw
did anyone hear about silver. But with the
election of 1888 comes Republican President
and Republican House. Behold now tn
Democratic party. Mr.. Carlisle and all! 1t
Ia for free silver almost to man; and by
allying Itself with some free coinage Repub-
licans In The Senate and seven free coinage
Republicans In the House, it made a most
desperate effort to pass a silver bill ten
times more pernicious than the present law,
assuming to be true all that the Boston Her
aid says about the badness Of the law. Ey-
eryone remembers the conspicuous part
borne by Speaker Reed in preventing the
passage of this free coinage bill, and in
securing moderate silver legislation. No
mortal man could have prevented the pas
sage of silver bill by the House. The en-.
sire Democratic party. with a few excep.
tions, was for free coinage, and large sec
tion of the Republican party Was for liberal
legislation. This was the situation that
confronted Mr.. Reed. No such situation
ever confronted Mr.. Carlisle. When he was
Speaker there was no strong minority party
practically united for free coinage and ready
to unite with section OF extremists In his
own party for free coinage or any other leg
islative abomination. The situation that
confronted Mr.. Reed never confronted Mr..
Carlisle. If it had we may Judge what he
would have done when we remember that In
this Congress he has been with his party in
Its attempt to pass free coinage law.
