CHICAGO, Aug. 17.-Trade in cattle was
fairly active today at generally unchanged
prices. An occasional sale of common native
beef steers was made as low as 3S5, but
very few went below S4.10, and sales were
largely at $4.60@5.10. The stocker and feeder
trade was active at s3.25@4.35, stock heifers
selling for $3@320 This was ''calf day,"
there was fair supply and a good demand
at about steady prices: Texas cows and
steers sold mostly at s2:7O@S.7O and Western
rangers sold at $3.15@405 for cows and heifers
and at $360@4.35 for steers feeders paying
$36OQ4.10. Trade in hogs started off rather
actively at yesterdays prices and light and
butcher weights sold satisfactorily up to the
close, but heavy packing lots sold a little
lower as the day advanced. Sales were large
ly at S3S5@4, hogs selling at an extreme range
OF $3.6O@4121a, while most of the pigs brought
$S.40Q4. The average quality rather poor,
there being a good many coarse, heavy lots.
Trade in sheep was rather animated. Choice
lots were steady, but common sheep were
weak to 10c lower. The great bulk of the
sheep were Western rangers sales of which
were rather brisk at $30390 feeders being

salable at $2.40G4.35, but very few went above

HOW A GREAT DANGER WAS
AVERTED.

1t is evident that the country owes
General Miles a debt of gratitude and
that it is at the same time uncon-
scious of his greatness and his good
ness. It knows him as having hand
some presence, magnificent uniforms
and as occupying a distinguished pc
sition as the head of the army; it
knows all these things, but no man
is known until he makes known the
secrets of his heart, the thoughts Of
his brain. and until he does this the
people know nothing but the muddy
vesture of decay in which his soul is
encased General Miles recently,
within less than a week, gave forth
some of the secrets Of his heart, some
of the thoughts of his brain. The &C.
casion for this unbosoning of himself
is the new public building in Chicago,
which he would have constructed as
a semi-fortress, probably because he
regards the common people as semi
barbarous. He says that all the sub
treasures and other buildings in which
the money of the government is kept
should be made fire-proof, burglar
proof and mobproof. But all this is
not an unbosoming of himself Having
delivered himself of these observations,
General Miles proceeded in this man
ner:
The necessity of some such protec-
ton was impressed upon me during
the great strike at Chicago. At that
time there was a well-laid conspiracy
to take advantage of the excitement
and confusion TO enter and loot the
building. The strikers were not in
VOWED in it, or any of the railroad
men, and the labor unions had nothing
more to do with it than the Young
Mems Christian association. The men
! involved were no more interested in la
lbor than in religion. The leader was an
Italian or a Spaniard or a Cuban.
nave forgotten his name, but / have
considerable memoranda relating to
the subject among my papers. The in
formation was brought to me by detee-
tives, who discovered that the plot
originated at a meeting of seven men,
nearly all of them foreigners. There
was a second meeting, at which IA OF
1 10 men were present, and there the
plans were perfected Each of this
party was instructed to assemble a
gang of his friends on certain night
in the alley back of the Union League
| club, with the necessary tools fol
breaking into the building. AT the
same time a riot was to be melted q
! few blocks away in order TO draw the
crowd and divert attention. The con
I srirators were then to enter the build
ing from the south side, loot the sub
/ treasury and pass out through Tho
I west entrance into Clark street. They
had diagram of the building and the
/ sub treasury, SO that they knew ex-
actly where the vaults were situated
and somebody was going TO open tht
doors to them or else they were going
to blow them open with dynamite,
AS soon as I got wind of the affair
stationed two companies of soldiers il

POETS ARE ALSO MADE.

The book of the season is Hallam
Tennyson's life of his father, the late
poet laureate. First published in the
early part Of October, two editions
have already been exhausted. While a
third Will soon be issued. The leading
magazines and reviews have articles
on it, while it has been pronounced
worthy to take place for all time
beside such masterpieces of biography
as Boswells johnson and Trevalyan's
Macaulay.
One of the reviews of the book saws
that it was a favorite aphorism OF
Tennyson's that Poets are born and
made" being a decided variation of
the old aphorisrn that poets are born,
not made" The variation of the time
honored saying about poets is not
original with TennysOn, Ben Jonson
having said some centuries ago, For
a good poets made as we'll as born, "
and few poets or others were ever bet
ter qualified to say what is poetry and
what constitutes a poet than Jons0n
was. Tennyson himself is entitled to
speak with authority on the subject,
and his own magnificent work and the
years he spent Oh it, refining and pol
ishing it, prove what he said true. IF
there ever was a born poet it was
Burns, and he also held the view of
Jonson.
To be a poet one must be born with
the poetic instinct, but that instinct
must be cultivated and developed, and
this is only done by hard and contin-
uous work. AS one who reads a poets
works and re-reads them finds that
with each re-reading he discovers
something new, deeper and a broad
er, more universally human mean
ing, so the poet as he casts and re-
casts his work puts into it a deeper
and a broader, more universally hu-
man meaning, until at last he sends il
forth a finished product, the delight
and despair of all who read it. The
making of the poet is the development
of the poet, as the making of the
painter, the musician or the sculptor
is but their development. And how dc
they achieve their success, how dc
they create their masterpieces? BY
having the Hottest ideals and a great
capacity for work. Even in the writ
ing of poetry there is no excellence
without labor. And this was the idea
in the minds of Jonson, Burns and
Tennyson; and it is a right idea.

THE RIGHT TO NOMINATE.

The night before the election in New
York all the mayoTalty candidates
made statement of what they and the
parties behind them stood for. In his
statement Seth Low said
TT stands for the right of the people
to nominate their own candidates as
well as to vote for them
1t was the constant endeavor of the
non-partisan committee in this city,
prior to election, to make the people
believe that the movement of which
they were the inaugurators and for
which they were sponsors, was identical
with the Citizens reform movement in
New York. We showed on several oc-
casions the falsity of the pretension.
And Mr.. Low, who became the leader
of that reform movement, said the
morning of the election, through the
public press. that it stood for the right
of the people to nominate their own
candidates as well as to vote for them.
This right to nominate was denied by
the non-partisan committee, and the
denial of that right was tantamount
to a denial of the right Of self govern
ment, for that means the right to say
who shall administer the laws.
The city election is over and the peo-
pie have expressed themselves, but no
one should forget how this non partisan
movement had its inception, and the
methods it adopted to attain its aims.
1t is the intention, we understand, to
continue the existence of this political
hermaphrodite, and we have been in
formed by a gentleman who was close
~ identified with the movement that
two years hence there will be a COM
mittee of one hundred; how the mem
bers of the committee are to be chosen
was not stated, but presumably by the
existing self appointed committee. If
this same aggregation doesn't attempt
to dictate in the election in the county
next year it will be a surprise. It's
success in the late local election was
by no means so great as its promoters
expected, but it was sufficient to give
it enough hope to cause it to prolong
its miserable existence.
The voters should bear in mind that
the movement was a direct attack on
the right of self government because it
denied the right of the people to nomi-
nate their own candidates for Office.
