Chicago, March 9.-WHEAT-The only
tracts, forcing the market up at one time
about half a cent a bushel from last
nights closing The news IS unquestfOn-
ably very bearish and the situation war
and snow storm is now raging over the
entire winter wheat belt, which tends to
keep the plant in perfect condition and
crop experts say they never saw the
condition The only thing possible that
can do any damage this season will be
the Hessian fly, and that will only be
local BradstreetS worlds visible only
believe May wheat on its merits ought to
be selling under CSC and see no way of
sustaining prices except by main force.
Receipts today, 121 cars, with 50 cars ex-
pected for tomorrow.
CORN-Corn IS in a strong position sta
tistical1y and anything that can happen
in the way of accidents must favor high
er prices. Receipts are running light and
acceptances liberal. The big bull leaders
are absorbing offerings and are masters
of the situation. ScalperS and outside
traders are short about all they can
carry and we may expect just such a
market we are having now in pork
when the time comes to tighten the
screws. and corn bears" viii be fried to
a brown turn, in their own grease The
stormy weather IS a bull factor and will
cause receipts to run lighter Cars to-
day, 1872: estimated for tomorrow, $50
VISIONS-PrOvision were again
stronger and higher all around, led by
May pork. It looks as If some one had
the pork market ccrnered and we may ex-
pect some fancy prices in the near future
Prices were steady at the yards with 49,
900 hogs in today and 5000 expected to-
morrow. J. c. GOINGS-

JOINTISTS HELD.
Judge Magaw Convicts of Main
tanning a Nuisance.
Counts For Selling Liquor Are
Dismissed.

Judge Magaw decided 80 liquor cases
this morning. In all of the cases the ev-
idence was furnished by spoilers bird
either by the city or by a detective
agency. In each case the defendant WIS
charged with selling liquor on from TWO
to four counts and with keeping a nuis-
ance. The charges of selling llQuor IN
each case and count was dismissed on
the same decision which the judge hdd
rendered in the Frank RaynOr case
In deciding the Raynor case, where the
evidence had been furnished by men who
were sworn in as officers Of the city, the
Judge followed a recent decision of the
supreme court of Colorado which was
to the effect that evidence furnished by
officers who persuaded men to commlr
crime so that they could be prosecuted
for committing the crime was not good
evidence and should not be admitted.
This throws out all evidence which is
furnished by spoilers employed by he
city under the title of special police.
The charges of keeping a nuisa nee
which was made against II jolntisSS
stuck in almost every case and the men
were fined 500 on that charge. The
1ointists convicted of maintaining Il
nuisance were: Dan Finney, Ed Sra
mel, Sell Field, r. D. Giles, O. Kemp
ton James Kiley, George K1auer, Fritz
Durein and r. L Hobson. All of the
cases were appealed by the Jo1nt1StS
Three cases were dismissed because the
witnesses could not be believed by TIE
judge or by the attorney for the CITY.
In several instance the jointists We're
charged in separate complaints with
maintaining a nuisance on the same day
and when the judge found a joint'sr
guilty on one of the complaints he would
dismiss the other complaints on tie
ground that a man could not be found
guilty of the same offense twice.
The city will appeal all of the cases
which were dismissed on the grounds
that a city officer could not assist a n. IN
in committing a crime and then prose-
cute him for the crime.

WORRY OYER SUGAR.
British Officials Are Up Against a
Tariff Proposition.

London, March 1s-The prospective
duty on sugar is agitating the West
Indies committee which is trying to en-
list the aid of the colonial office in sup
port Of their views The committee
holds that the imposition of a uniform
duty will practically amount to
a prohibition of the importa-
ton into this country of any but refined
sugar and would therefore be most detri-
mental to the interests of the sugar
colony. In the event of a duty being de-
cided upon, the committee will point
out that the scheme ought to provide at
least four different rates Of duties for
sugars of varying qualities and that the
quality should be determined by the
process of polarization, as color is no
also OF the opinion that glucose, sac
charine. etc, ought to be taxed proper

Candidates viii Find if Biennial
Election Law is Valid

Election Law IS Valid
The men who want to be county Off
GERS and who figured on getting the
nominations this summer have decided
to hire Judge TT. 1T. Carver as their at
torney TO give them an opinion on the
validity of the biennial election law
which was passed by the legislature this
winter. If he decides that the law is
unconstitutional they viii go ahead with
their canvass. and will continue their
fight for the nominations for the differ
ent Offices. II the opinion is that the
law VIII stand they viii discontinue their
canvass They have all decided that
they can not afford to be a candidate
FOR one year. and they have figured that
II the primaries were held the man who
succeeded in capturing the nomination
would be financially ruined If he had to
stand as "a candidate for a whole year.
They also came to the conclusion that
IF a man did run for one year that at
the expiration Of that time he would be
SO unpopular that an Independent candi-
date would be put up who would easily
win the race. 1t was due to these con-
ClusiOns that they finally decided to hiGe
an attorney and get an opinion on the
question
II Is probable that the Republican
county central committee win accept the
opinion Of Judge Carver as final. If
the judge decides that the law IS uncon-
stitutional the committee win manda-
mus the sheriff to call the election, and
viii thus get the case in the supreme
court

CRITICISM OF ROOSEVELT.
President Norton Chnrncterizes Him
rs Disappointment.

BOSTON, Jan. 10.-President Charles
Eliot Norton. of Harvard. in an address
at the dinner of the Union Club last
night, characterized Theodore Roosevelt
as the great disappointment of the pres
ent time" He said:
THE ideals of our own community are
not now as firmly set on higher things
as they were in our earlier youth. At the
time of the rebellion our young men were
inspired with more noble motives. Con
trast it with the great disappointment of
the present time, Governor Roosevelt.
There was no boastfulness in the hearts
of the young men who went to the civil
war. There was none of the Rough Rider
spirit They had a serious purpose They
were not brutal"
His explanation o. this alleged national
degeneracy was that the great influx of
foreigners in the last fifty years had filled
the country with people who had only
been out from under misery and ty-
ranny'' for a generation or two. and SO
had their minds set on getting physical
comforts. He suggested as remedy for
"all these discontents" the teaching of
literature in the public schools.

persons of such a temperament are apt
to be as dissatisfied with themselves as
with others. but that does not make it
any pleasanter for anybody.
Unfortunately, such an attitude is apt
to be more the result of temperament
| than of education. though education-the
involuntary. unconscious kind that we all
give one another-has something to do
with it. The credulous and easily in
huenced people of this world are apt
to regard an Incarnation of chronic dis
gust as a very superior mortal, and when
he proceeds to pick flaws in all of their
idols, they do not stop to think that it
may be his own jaundiced vision which
is the matter but jump at the conclu-
sion that the critical attitude is an indi-
cation of unusually fine sensibilities and
judgment. This, in itself, it certainly is
not, because sensibilities which are real
ly fine are active in regard to ethical as
well as artistic matters, and it is GER
tainly not very kind or gentle or tolerant
TO go through life sneering at everything
in sight. The person of critical temper
into the belief that he is most superior,
and when a notion of that kind gets into
persons head it is hard to get it out.
There are comparatively few things in
life which are absolutely perfect-that is
certainly true-but it is not therefore
necessary to dwell on the fact, and oa
the flaws and imperfections of people
md ~ 81,
everybody which can be admired if one
is hard up for subjects of admiration, and
most OF us know at least a few people
who are, on the whole, delightful charac-
tiers. To harp on their probable or evil
dent faults is not an Indication of super
ior shrewdness: in fact, the person who
prides himself on that kind of sagacity
is apt to fool himself more completely
and disastrously than the most determin-
ed optimist because he goes blindly on,
missing good things, which ought to be
his and sometimes destroys or fails to
secure friendships and acquaintance
which would be worth his while. II may
be true that under severe temptation the
majority of men will steal or lie; very
well; the severe temptation does not
often come, and until it does, no one can
say with certainty just who will endure
it successfully. Are We therefore to as
sumo that every man is a thief at heart.
