Chicago, Ills, April THE downward
movement which has prevailed in the
wheat pit for the past three or four weeks
eliminated today in drop of S5s cents in
the May option, which closed at 655s and
&c loss in July, which closed at 65zc. The
close was within &c of the lowest prices Of
the day. The bottom had apparently drop
ped out of the market. Bulls had evidently
given up their long struggle to maintain
prices, for Line after line of lonf wheat
which had been held in a forlorn hope of a
favorable turn, was dumped onto the mar
ket TO prevent further losses, already heavy
enough. The trouble was started yester-
day. Bradstreet's report of a big increase
IN the worlds visible was not only a pain
full surprise to local bulls but to foreign
traders and a consequent sharp break in
Liverpool cables added to the demoral!zed
condition Of the homes market Heavy
liquidation was kept up without cessation

THE SMASH AT NEW YORK.
New York, April There was a big
smash in wheat prices today, accompanied
by an outpouring OF long holdings, the like
of which has not been seen in many months
The May option suffered chiefly, as the long
interest in that month had swelled to large
proportions. through mouths of accumula-
ton. From last nights close. prices drop
PED 3ssc, May at the lowest point touching
n$4c. which is the record since last Sep
tembcr. In addition to liquidation, the
market was also influenced by a sharp
break in Liverpool cables, and fair selling
on foreign account. Local sales for the day
aggregated 13,7l5.00O bushels, which is far !

THE DEMOCRATS ARE MISTAKEN

Ii is stated with considerable conf
dence by the democrats that they nave
captured Charles N. Settele and that he
will vote for the election of Lawrence
Fee as councilman from the Third ward.
The Republican does n o believe it.
When a man Is elected 20 Office by a po-
litical party, whether it be the republic
ran. democratic or populist, if he is a
man OF honor and character he will sup
port the policies and principles Of that
party. as defined in its record, It's plat
forms and the laws which 1t has put in
force. 1t has been the policy Of the re-
publican party in Laramie. so far as lay
in its power, to prohibit gambling, to
maintain q high license upon the sale
of liquors, and to restrain vice in its
various forms. Has this been the posi-
ton of Lawrence Fee? A year ago the
gentleman from the Third ward was
openly advocating a reduction OF the sa-
loon license and has time and again said
in open council that he favored gamb-
ling in this city. So much for matters
Of a local nature. Lawrence Fee has
been one of the most rabid partisans

who stood nearest to the king were the
bards. Rank was indicated by the num-
Der Of stripes Of different colors. To be-
come a bard a man had to serve 20 years
as a novititate. Then he must demon
strate, before a large convention his
ability to move the heart OF the soldier
as we'll as the maiden. Then after he at
tanned to the high honors Of being a
bard he was bound by law to purity Of
hand, purity Of mouth, purity OF learn
ing and purity OF marriage" No wonder
it is said Of them they were indeed a
wonderful body of men. They WELD the
people altogether by their brighter in
%stincts, and by such precept and example
almost unprecedentedly encouraged them
in the practice Of every virtue" "The
bard who violated any of those purities
was deprived Of his incourse and his
dignity" Think II such a law was in
force in this country. Taxes would no,
be 50 high. 1t seems % US to be time
that the people demanded something
more of men who present themselves for
ruling positions. Honesty, sobriety and
purity of heart. speech and behavior
should characterize those who are placed
in positions of power. We owe it to the
rising generation to set in high places
only noble men, to whom they may look
for examples. Too often the only re-
quirement for a high position is to be q
good partisan and have some money To
help our party out. No man should be
permitted to become an aspirant for
public honors, whose private life will not
bear the searchlight Of public opinion.
For over a thousand years the wondrous
reign of the bards lasted. Their music
and song had proved the old proverb.

nation we care not who makes their
laws"

vance the Interests of the democracy.
In national matters he has been the
champion Of free trade and the opponent
OF every measure advocated by the re-
publican party. In state matters he has
never failed in his support of every DEM
ocratic dodge, even to the burglary of the
governors office. In county matters,
his only query in relation to candidates
has been in regard to their politics. And
with this record for their candidate, the
democrats Of Laramie have the audacity
to approach a man who has ever CAIN
ed to support the principles OF the re-
publican party and ask for his vote. By
artful fiattery they claim to have cajoled
him into the support Of their candidate.
Mr.. Settele was nominated by a re-
publican mayor and confirmed by a re-
publican council. He accepted the trust
imposed by his party associates and thus
pledged himself to the support of those
measures and principles advocated by
the republicans Of this city. Those
measures and principles are directly in
opposition TO anything ever advocated
by Lawrence Fee, hence a vote for him
by a republican would be the act of a
Judas. a betrayal OF trust which no man
of honor and character could conscien-
tiously perform.
Mr.. Settele, although a young man,
has built up a reputation for honor and
character in this community, and The
Republican has confidence enough in
him to believe that rather than betray
a sacred trust he would retire from
power. We will see.
