Brothers Make a Strong Team.
John Sheehan's strength lies principally
in his ability to sit in back room and plan
a campaign. William is aggressive at his
best under Just such conditions. With the
two brothers together once more, and the
scene Of their activities transferred from
Buffalo to this city. there Is no question, in
spite Of all his reasoning and figuring. that
Richard Croker faces the fight Of his life.
One of the questions uppermost In the
minds Of Tammany men is, who will be in
charge as leader after Richard Croker has
left for Europe? He intends to start the
first week in December, maybe before. John
F. Carroll may. after all, be nominally re-
tanned as deputy. because to DISMISS him
would be tantamount to declaring him
guilty on account of his connection with
the ice trust. But the real representative of
Mr. Croker, 1t is said, will be Corporation
Counsel John Whalen, and his word will be
law in regard to matters Of policy and pa
tronage. Carroll may continue to occupy
Mr.. Cookers seat in Tammany for appear
ances sake, but that is all.

THE FUTURE OF CATTLE.

A correspondent writes asking our
opinion as to whether present prices
for steers are likely to he maintained
for the next two years or whetI er
there will be any great reduc tiun in
values. We very much dislike to eX-
press an opinion rs to the proba hi j.
ties of a future market. because it is
too much like attempting prophecy
for which we have no warrant. TT e
most we can have is an opinion, based
upon our observations and the inn
preston they make on us. a year
from now, or even in less time. cir
cumstances wholly unforeseen relating
to demand and supply, or both, might
spring up and lead us to take differ
ent view of the future from that
which we now entertain. AS we at
present understand the situation,
however, we believe that cattle prices
will continue strong for the next two
years and probably for considerably
longer period. Without pausing now
to enumerate the grounds upon which
we base such an opinion we would say
that our belief is very strong that
there will be no considerable reduc-
tion in prices within the period NAM
ed. All the cattle interests are lay
ing plans with a belief in the future
strength of cattle as foundation. If
from any unforseen cause there should
be fall in prices, contrary to our ex-
pectation, we shall find ourselves TO
have erred in judgment in very good
and numerous company. One could
