CATTLE.


Continuously throughout the year Unit
ed States cattle have commanded the
highest prices The difference between
the cattle of the United States and South
America, too, has been uniformly great
in favor of our own animals. The Cana
dian cattle attained a parity of price with
cattle from the United States six times
during the year. On one occasion, Aug.
ID, they held the first place. During the
greater part of the year the lower prices
received for cattle from the United States
exceeded the prices for cattle from either
Canada or South America. Indeed, as
compared with South American cattle,
the lowest prices received for cattle from
the United States were considerably high
or than the highest price for South Amer
lean. In the case of sheep, the first place
is held by South America, while animals
from the United States and Canada run
about even, with a slight difference in
favor of the former.

created him an admiral of the Russian
navy, for which he thanked him. Con-
tinuing, re said:

Another Autocratic Joke

The Bon. Thomas Brackett Reed, Of
Maine, has contributed to the Illustrated
American paper on an institutional ques-
tion of much interest. II has been Sug-
gested by many able men versed in public
affairs, that the coordination of our Iegis
lative ald executive national powers
might be improved; that between them, as
at present organized, responsibility for
transacting the business of the people is
so easily shifted, or is SO intangible as

ether constitutional governments the power

our present purpose to discuss the sugges-
tion TO adopt something like 1t in the United
States, but only TO call attention to MI
Reeds view Of the matter
As usual, wefind the opinions of the Hon
Thomas Bracket Reed On this point both
edifying and pregnant with his ind e.
scribable sense OF humor. He objects to
the plan, principally on the grounds that
it would be edestrGctveofou our representative
form Of government, and that IL would
give Cabinet ministers, endowed with seats
and voices in the halls OF legislation, a too
great personal influence and patronage.
These thoughts, flowing from heteeming
brain OF a man who for months has been
successfully engaged in defeating our rep
pressing the House of Representatives, abol-
fishing all the rights and privileges Of its
members and uSurping allits functions and
powers, are nothing short Of funny. His
other ground OF objection is quite as
much so.
From his magazine point of view, it
would be highly undesirable TO place a
Responsible Cabinet officer in the House
of Representatives, for example; because
the influence of such a parsonage, es-
pccially in the matter OF patronage, might
exercise coercive, If not a corrupting in
fluence on the membership. Although Mr.
Reed docs not say so in terms, still be

Assassination of Premier Canovas.

A dispatch from Madrid TO The Times
last night conveyed the unpleasant tidings
that Senar Canovas del Castillo, prime
minister OF Spain, had been done TO death
by an assassin. said to be an Italian an
archist, at the watering place Of Santa
Agueda, at about / O'Clock Sunday aft

our news columns.
What effect the sudden taking off of
this statesman, the acknowledged leader
of the Spanish Conservative party, may
have upon the politics or the colonial and
foreign policies OF the kingdom, it is
impossible TO predict, in advance OF
further developments. 1t would seem
PROT able, however, that such a shocking
event would tend TO unite parties, and

them to join in vigorous prosecution OF
