The train was leaving Lancaster

the car began to cry violt lily. So loud
were her lamentations that q young

AS has been stated befole there is
antagoliism to Blackburn in the Cot
ton S.e teS league. all of which is to
be expected. The fight for the pen
nant last season was closer and
more bitterly contested in the Cotton
States league than in any other base
ball organization and being new
league petty jealouises arose. Black
burn. by superior playing and manage
ment, won the pennant
Hard feelings were thus engendered.
1t is thcught now that everything will
run along smoothly. Blackburn can
not be displaced. and those opposed to
him should be realizing that fact by
this time
Along this line the Daily Herald. of
cksburg, Miss, cf a recent date
contained the following timely base
ball talk admitting practically that
the opposition to Blackburn was due
to his success. 1t also intimates that
Pine Bluff is about as wide awake as
the rest of them. The Herald says:

Good crop prospects, the wheat de-

other grains and trade was light and
unimportant. July opehed a shade low

Provisions showed momentary
strength at the opening, in spite of the
weak hog market and easier feeling in

has a right to change a bill in this way.
1t is not unprecedented. l have often
acted similarly. A point or some
p~hraseology in the original bill may not
be in line with the ideas of the court
and the latter may alter it. The fact
that the bill in his case was prepared
after considerable elaboration by the
governments attorneys does not argue
that it is perfect. The court might have
grounds for desiring particular changes.
Tho l think the government author
tiles are in earnest in this matter my
opinion regarding the too liberal use
of injunctions is unchanged. 1t is evil
dent thai the president proposes to use
the writ of injunction as a club to hold
the railroads and the trusts in order
and make them subservient to the eX-
ecutive power. This is apparently his
purpose.
But does the president really mean
1T. or is it a great bluff in the great
game of politics? While Mr.. Roosevelt
must be accorded a record OF sincerity
and honesty in public office in the past
it must not be forgotten that he is n
of the shrewdest politicians in the
country and an avowed candidate Tor
denomination by the republican party
for the presidency to succeed himseli.
Is Roosevelt simply calling down these
great interests that were centering up
on Mark Hanna and saying to them:
Won ma support Mark Hanna If you
like. but I am president for three years
vet and / have my United States courts
and the writ of injunction at my COM
mand, also the precedent Of 1894 for
its use,'

Beef Maqnate.

Chicago, May 22.-"The way the or

might name the prices"
This is the comment made by Judge
Murray F. Tuley yesterday, In dis

Grosscup against the packers, and of

Judge Tuley smiled as he thought OF

THE LIVESTOCK REVIEW.
Cattle Prices Higher in Spite of Larger
Receipts.

Chicago, May 22.-Cattle-Supplies
are running far ahead of the greatly
reduced receipts of the recent weeks,
but are still much behind the liberia;
runs of last year at this time. Estinat-
ing arrivals of today at $500, against
S,23S last Thursday, about 46,450 cattle
have been marketed SO far this week,
against 41,161 the same time last week.
Today's moderate supply, in connection
with the good general demand, caused
prices to rule strong to 10 higher.
Hogs-About 1926 were marketed
here so far this week, against 114,561
the same time last week. Today's re-
ceipts were estimated at $4,000, and H.
400 were left over yesterday, so there
was a very good supply on hand. The
demand was animated this morning, at
somewhat higher prices than prevailed
at Yesterdays close, shippers and local
packers purchasing freely.
Sheep-Receipts today were 5000,
and trade was just moderate, offerings
being largely unattractive In quality.
