CATTLE.

The cattle market yesterday was steady
with a larger line of stock on sale and
some extra choice stuff. Besides the
usual daily scattering single hoogs and
such small punches as come in mixed
ears of cattle and hogs together, there
were two cars from Roy Scott Of Maize
and D. Jackson of HaZelton, the former
selling out to the Dold company. Be
sides these there was a fine bunch of
shipping steers bought by Woods from
Mr.. G. T. Biles, driven in; 500 was paid
for the sixty head Of this drove. The
butcher stuff was generally excellent
quality and sold at good prices. There
was also a car of stockers of very fair
grade offered. In all it was an improve
ment in the cattle division and all parties
well satisfied.

A TRIFLE TOO GOOD.

There are cranks and cranks. There are
vicious cranks and good cranks. Among
the latter st. Louis seems to have a repre-
sentative. and quite a remarkable man he
Is, too, in his way. Mr. ]. Eads Howe has
resided in St Louis a number of years
perhaps many. Some time ago he decided
that it was his duty to live among the
lowly for the purpose of trying to better
their condition. and accordingly he aband-
oned his mansion and betook himself to the
slums. He has recently been brought into
public notice by his refusal to accept $780,
900 inherited from his relatives. on the
ground that he had not earned it. Mr.
Howe is described as well educated man,
who had Travelled abroad before beginning
his peculiar mission. and he has sum In
the bank which he keeps to enable him to
prosecute his labors. He lately gave away
1900. the interest on this sum, because,
according to his theory, 1t was unearned
increment. His idea is that a man should
have only that which he has earned by
his own labor. a theory advanced by many
socialists, but theory few of them live
up to IL conditions change. Howe is GER
tainly consistent with regard to his the
cries, but he could have done 4 great
amount of good in his particular line had
he been a little less consistent and ac-
cepted the 100000.

How THE MESSAGE Is REGARDED

THE presidents annual message has not
81 much more complimentary and lasting
IA deep and favorable impression. The
message has, by this time, been pretty well
Ganvassed by the press and by those public
I1en whose views are interesting. There is
Trtle or no criticism of the extreme length
tfat an unusual number of important aues-
tons had to be treated, and that some of
ITEM were entirely new matter for the
consideration of congress.
%Republican journals throughout the coun-
tfy are pleased with the strong and I'M
edaivocal stand the president has taken
nrbn the issues of greatest importance
Independent journals nearly all take the
came view, and upon the subjects of expan-
zion and the gold standard, the president
has the satisfaction of being sustained by
Bearly every influential paper in the coun-
try. There was a time when Mr.. McKin-
Iey's position on both these questions was
d subject of dispute. Until he entered upon
His recent tour through the West, he had
bot positively committed himself as to a
philippine policy. He studied the question
and public sentiment very carefully. and
while he might have uttered his convic-
Sons much earlier, he chose TO remain nom
Sommittal on several points until near the
dine for the reconvening Of congress. As
b. the money question, it will be remem-
kered that he took up the subject of inter-
rational bimetallism soon after his inau-
Duration and pursued 1t for a time with ev-
ihent sincerity. Having seen that fnterna-
fssnai bimetallism was out of the ques-
iton. and having been convinced, no doubt,
To-. the trend Of events, that the time had
cSme to make the money standard of the
country more secure by legislation, he
came out absolutely in favor of the gold
basis. As expansion and the money ques-
tfon are likely to have precedence in the
next presidential campaign, the president
cannot but feel gratiied by the very gen.
eral commentator he has received for his
position on these two issues.
Foreign expressions on the message are
of secondary Importance, of course. but
st is nevertheless pleasing to note that good
opinions are numerous and adverse views
very few and very mild. The country is to
be congratulated on the fact that the
president was not called upon to deal with
any delicate questions touching our for
eign relations. the nation having kept it
SELF free from troublesome entanglements.
There are. OF course, some severe crit
