We had heavy receipts to-day. Our market,
like all others, was 10c lower. Chicago $1,000
strong. i0c lower. We had in S5 cars yesterday
and got out 19 doubles. Will have about same in
and cut to-day. We will get out all that come In
up to o'clock D. m. You notice the Trust has
had our name taken out of Live Stock Journal.
They have out OF business. vet they report
shipments which are about all our shipments.
We are shipping about all that go out of here.
1t is an outrage the way they reported their
market yesterday, They reported their tops at
$780, when their market was lower than Satur-
day or Monday, when their tops were IS. .42h. They
are 6eceiving when they say their market was
$3.50, when there was but one load sold oyef
$3.4215 out Of 1870; but four loads over s.. 40 ~
had twelve loads yesterday; sold at s3.45 to $3 So
We quote: Prime, $50 to $50, at $337l2 to $3.422.

think they will go low at they will go this

We cannot get too many good weight hogs, ana
much prefer to have them at strong 10c over

fancy prices for fancy hogs, and packers only

GENTLEMEN'S COMPACT
THE NORMAL FREIGHT TARIFF BE-
COMES EFFECTIVE DEC. IL.
actual Railway Earnings for October
and Estimated for November Make
Gratifying Exhibits.

Under the so-called gentlemen's agree
ment to restore east-bound rates to tariff,
all lines will on Monday next restore east
bound rates to tariff, which will be the
elimination of the Generalization in east
bound freight rates, which are now in the
worst condition in years. Since the Supreme
Court gave its decision in the Joint Traffic
Association case rates have been going
from bad to worse, freight representatives
paying no attention to tariffs if a shipper
showed disposition to turn any business
he might have over 10 competing line.
Now that navigation has practically closed
and all business must go by rail, the rail-
roads propose to hold together and get bet
ter rates. But tariff rates are by no means
high as compared with former years, the
shrewdest freight officials realizing that
lower freight rates have come to stay, and
the big lines are in the contest in earnest to
equip themselves with cars of the largest
carrying capacity, so as to be In the CAFE
CORY of what is more a war of modern i'm
provements than a war of rates. The roads,
besides increasing the capacity of their cars,
are increasing the weight and power of their
locomotives, thus meeting the reduction
which competition is forcing in freight rates

CONCISE AND INTERESTING.
The 32d Michigan Regiment Returns
from the South and Was JoyfuIIy
Welcomed Home Again = Crooked
Primaries Charged at hay City.
a2d Michigan Home.

The 32d Michigan volunteers arrived
at Island Lake after an unusually
pleasant journey for a military train
The trip from Huntsville, Ala, was
one grand ovation all along the line
AT every little hamlet great crowds
gathered at the depot to greet the
boys, and the farther north the regi-
ment proceeded. the greater became
the audiences to welcome them
Through Indiana and Ohio, at every
depot where the train stopped, the cars
were surrounded by women, with flags
and every kind of delicacy to feed the
boys.
The train was made of four sections
as follows: First section-Cos. X, De-
troit, 81 men, three officers: NJ, Detroit,
50 men, three officers; |. Detroit, so
men. three officers; Col. McGurrin
in charge. Second section = Cos L.,
Detroit, SO men, three officers: /. Grand
Haven, 81 men, two officers: ID. Battle
Creek, 81 men, two officers; Maj. Rey-
nolds in command. Third section-
Cos. c, Kalamazoo, SO men. two Off
GERS; A, Coldwater, rs men. two Off
GERS; G., Grand Rapids. So men, three
officers; under Maj. Abbey. Fourth
section-Cos. ii. Grand Rapids. So men,
three officers; B, Grand Rapids, SIS men,
one officer; +, Grand Rapids, rs men,
three officers; under Lie Col. Vos.
The total number of men brought
north was 1889, while the original
roster of the regiment. as it left Island
Lake, four months ago, contained ,32s
names. A detail of two officers and Is
men was left as a guard over the divis-
ion hospital at Fernandina. OF the re-
naming 269 men, some have died,
many are away on furloughs, some are
still in the hospitals. The sick on the
sections were sent in the hospital cars
to Detroit and from there to their re-
spective homes

There is good reason why the leader
in an exploit such as Hobson's should
be given special credit. for experience
tells us that he must have inspired his
men by his example. 1t Is so also with
other leaderships besides those OF war.
Those who follow may be as brave as
the leader after they get started. but
they have not his initial courage or
they would start without him. The
leaders in great social and political
reforms start out usually under most
discouraging circumstances, but they
have faith and courage, and finally
through their persistence gather few
followers whom they inspire by their
example When success crowns their
efforts their supporters are entitled to
credit, but the chief honors fall natur-
ally TO the leaders. without whom the
movement would not have been under
taken.

Maynard and Gardner Disa gree.

Secretary of State Gardner says he
does not agree with Attorney General
Maynard regarding the continuance in
Office of the U. of NJ. regents appointed
by Gov. Pingree to fill vacancies. The
Encouragement recently gave an
opinion that the appointment of Geo.
A. Farr and II. S. Dean to vacant re-
gencies was not for unexpired term
and that notices of election should be
given by the secretary of state for
election to fill the places at the next
general election. Secretary Gardner
asserts that Messrs. Farr and Dean
should remain in the positions and fin
ish the unexpired terms.

1t is Characteristic, says Bradstreet's,
OF the celebrity with which Americans
adapt themselves to new conditions
that almost Immediately after the an
nouncement OF the surrender OF San
tiago the treasury department was
overrun with requests for information
as TO the customs duties to be exacted
at that city and other ports in eastern
Cuba, and as to what preparations are
being made for the resumption Of trade
with those ports. The expectation OF
a considerable trade thither seems to
be widely entertained. The under
standing appears to be that the govern
ment will, for the present, enforce the
minimum duties formerly exacted on
imports from Spain, eliminating those
charged on imports from other coun-
tries. This policy will relieve COM
merce between the United States and
Cuba from heavy burden. and should
in the nature OF things help to stimu-
late a trade that has been so much dis
turbed.

Manual training in reformatories is
a valuable influence. Men are often
driven TO crime, not because there is
no psork@sar s<Tcrrr Ds.,- vSSs ss'sN
-tfiey are not fitted to do any kind of
work They have not had the train
ing to fit them for life. Where the re-
formatories teach the convicts the use
of hands and utilization of the senses
and this is followed by kindly and
helpful treatment by others reforma-
ton will be accomplished in many
cases. But the criminals too ready ex-
cuse for his crime that he could find no
honest employment of his hands or his
brains is seldom true.

Over and over again the old truth
comes back to us that no man is good
for much until he has suffered a great
sorrow. The baptism of pain is one
OF the instrumentalties for purging
away the dross OF our nature and maxi
ing us At to be partakers OF the in
heritance OF light Not those who
have escaped the fiery trial. but those
who have gone through II and come

we shall be helped and not harmed by
