Oct. L-Cattle-Receipts. 1000: shipments,
100. The receipts of cattle for two days
exhibit a decrease of about 400 compared
with the same time last week. and the re-
eelpts to-day were over 600 smaller than
a week ago. The arrivals were character
tied by scarcity of choice kinds in their
class. and the proportion of cattle suitable
for butchers was quite small. Consequent
iy the market opened with very fair com
petition FOR that class. and in all instances
sales were considered fully steady COM
pared with the market for equal kinds at
the close Of last week. The supply of com
mon stock was considerably larger than
required, and there was the usual indiner-
ent demand. Statesmen claimed that they
were unable to get any more satisfactory
prices in any instance. and a few consid-
cred the market weaker than it has been.
There is a feeling amorg both buyers and
sellers that good stock will command SAT-
isfactory prices in the near future. but this

Music Ihat Reaches the Soul

AS the Wayfarer sits in his den pom
dering on the intellectual grist which
must be ground out, suddenly Cnere
floats out upon the still air the exquis-
tie strains of music, and such music!
tender, soft and soothing. 1t is no
rag-time melody, but the strains OF the
grand old hymns of Christendom,
Nearer My God, to Thee" Onward
Christian Soldiers and Rock of
Ages The Philharmonic Band is at
practice.
Someway the music harmOnizes
with the spirit OF the hour, and makes
one think Of home and its sacred asso-
citations, OF the solemn offices of the
church and of boyhoOd. And then the
wonder creeps upon the Wayfarer why
our bands do not more often indulge
in this form of musical selections, and
why in our religious worship the splen-
did old tunes of the fathers are shelved
for senseless jingles that are poor cop
les Of music hall melodies? There is
no answer, but of one thing the Way
farer is certain, if the Philharmonic
Band will continue in the same strain
nightly. the thoughts of at least one
man will follow the suggestions OF It's
music. where hatred, envy and malice
have no place.

Paresls


(Written for The Evening Journal b.
Bill Parsons.)
Oh, when the editor gets gay,
And waltzes out for sport,
He swipes the Street and Sewer
Or he skins the Levy Court.
And talks of Councils by the yard
And. getting wild, you know,
He aims at sewers, counts and things
A solar plexus blow.
These things get in the system, sir,
And tangle up the brain,
Til Councils own the Levy Court,
And drive us all insane.
The Street and Sewer raise the tax
On every man and child,
And school boards and solicitors
Will drive the people wild.
The editor has paresis,
Reporters all are lean;
When Farnhurst gets the batch,
guess,
That all will be serene.

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
0BilIn Parsons Rescues Wayfarer

"Bill" Parsons Rescues Wayfarer
The Wayfarer. is not an egotist, but
he believes that one should have just
appreciation of his own abilities. He
is convinced that he can write poetry,
because the muse keeps flirting with
him. Sometime since he wrote a beau
tiful poem on the Brandywine, but
before he could publish it, another
writer Of the Journal got in ahead and
had a set of verses on the same theme
inserted.
The Wayfarer then turned over his
poem to Bill Parsons, and that gentle
man proceeded to mutilate it by strill-
ing out the last line of each verse and
inserting one of his own. 1t is too late
to change, % let it go. But even as it
stands, there is sufficient Of the Way
farer's work left to show the extent of
his genius, even though it is marred
by the doggerel of Bill Parsons
THE BRANDYWINE
Each massive rock and stately tree
That mark they rugged course,
Bring thoughts of great dishonesty
Was ever meter worse?
What right have we to thee fine
stream,
Thou Brandywlne so grand
To stand upon thy classic shore
And lie to beat the band?
Nearby upon thy rocky shore
Beneath THY lowering shade
The Indian youth in days of yOre
Just rested without aid.
Would thy romantic hills and glades
Could those love tales unfold;
OF Natures noble lads and maids
Who shivered with the cold.
Scenes like these of forest loves
Makes sacred every nook,
Where they like wild but faithful
doves
Their trusting squaws forsook.
No speaking paper taught them
OF imprOprieties,
No prudish people to condemn
Whene'er they stopped to sneeze.
Peculiar to free Nature.
They loved and hated, too,
Evening journal., 1901-08-07

With one redeeming feature
That all their clothes they grew.
Their race fer centuries lived ant
loved
Along thy rOck-bOund shore,
Perhaps they never would have moved
But l began to snOre.
We built our houses and our mills
Upon both land and trail,
We forced them back against theii
will
And hung a sign For Sale"
With freedom, friendship, charity,
They suffered us TO build;
Nor thought they OF barbarity
At all the ink I've spilled.
Palefaces can we reconcile
Ourselves to this great city,
To write such silly dOggerel,
Oh God, IL is a pity!

LYNCHIEe NEGROES

We have a defense OF Tillman's re-
markable speech by an organ OF no
less authority than the Washington
Post. IL says:
Senator Tillman. therefore, appealed
20 every chivalrous instinct when he
asserted that the summary execution
OF negroes who assault white women
obviated the appearance OF the latter
in q public court to testify to their
degradation I'm the presence OF a mixed
throng. This argument could be easily
understood IL was not an abstract
proposition. IL went right to the mar
row Of the situation. Probably for
the first time In their lives. these Wis
consin people looked at lynching from
the standpoint Of a Southern man, and
putting themselves in his place. they
manifested their sympathy and ap-
proval by applause.
To leave out OF consideration the
fact that lawlessness inspires lawless-
ness, and that every lynching brings
into contempt the calm and dispas-
sionate processes of law, what right
have we to assume that the victims OF
popular frenzy are the guilty parties
since their punishment depends upon
the within OF n frenzied mob? There is
no judge no jury, no competent testi-
mony. Frequently the first negro near
the scene OF the outrage is taken and
hanged, without the opportunity of
being heard. or of establishing his in

held something resembling trials. but
mobs OF the South act upon suspi-
cion. sometimes executing several per-
sons for one outrage One who de-
tends Judge Lynch should once have
his life put in jeopardy by the unrea-
soning mob; he would then understand
the matter.

kemedying Mail Abuses

From the Dover DelaWarean.
Postmaster-General Smith has taken
upon himself the authority to stop
some of the abuses to which the postal
Department has long been subject. Ell
forts at legislation have been repeat
eddy but unavailing.y made TO remedy
The evil. and the postmaster-genera
has at last decided to take the matter
In his own hands. believing that there
is already sufficient law TO meet many
of the abuses which have been a drain
and imposition on the department
The main trouble seems TO be that
the grade of mail instituted originally
for the benefit of legitimate news
papers has been taken advantage of by
other publications until the abuse has
reached such enormous proportions
that heavy loss is entailed on the de-
partment and improvements that
might otherwise be instituted for the
benefit OF the legitimate mail services
are retarded. Despite the profits each
year on first-c,ass mail the depart
ment Is annually confronted with a
large deficit, brought about entirely it

class privilege.

eoubtedly taken the proper step. and

Another girl passed down the street
a few minutes after the first girl pass
ed the office. Girl number two is the
daughter Of a family that counts its
wealth with six figures. She wore a
simple Bingham gown chat she made
herself and a pair of plain SO shoes.
Her hair was done up neatly and sim
ply as a girls hair should be. There
were no rings on her fingers and bells
on her toes. She was a pretty, quietly
dressed, sweet-faced innocent school
girl, with her head full of the fine
dreams and faneies that come to every
girl. Her name is found in the list
OF those present at the entertainments
given at the best homes in town.
Her mother is responsible fer the
childs graces. Her mother keeps her
girlish and in doing so the mother
retains her youth. She is one of the
handsomest women in town. Her
face reflects a clean heart. The girl
doesn't hear malicious gossip
in her hOmeA She doesn't
know everything on earth
or in hell-which word is here used
reverently-and she doesn't CAD the
streets. She is a good cook, a good
housekeeper, and has the making of a
woman as useful as her mother is.
1t is all a matter of ideals in this
old world. Often people think be-
cause a girl doesn't conquer the world
as she promised to in her high school
essay, that she has forgotten all about
it. But when a woman brings up a
clean. wholesome family in this gen.
GRAFTON of vipers she has been reason
ably true to herself and her aspira-
tions, even if she doesn't strip the

MAJORITIEs

The Morning News has had several
interesting editorials recently on the
subject of majorities in politics. In
answer to some remarks OF the Journal
on the subject, it seems to regard our
position as unfriendly to its conten-
zion. Not so; we were simply endeav-
9ring to show that the inference which
might be drawn from the editorialof our
contemporary. was unfair to Regular
Republicans; the general tenor was ex-
cellent, as is the editorial in reply TO
our remarks. The point OF contention
might be explained, but is not worth
the space. There is absolute truth in
the following extract from the News:
No majority is established by law
and no party majority is assured from
one year to another. The shifting OF
personal views brings about a shifting
of party strength at an election, and
therefore a shifting OF the political
complexion Of the majority. That
ought to be clear to everyone. We
agree fully and without eQuivocatiOn
with the thought that "minOrities are
frequently right, Notwithstanding theil
lack of numbers" The minority Is the
safeguard of the peoples interests. an,
II is just as important as the majority
