marketing of sheep and lambs this week
shows gain Of nearly 300 over last week,
LOO over the same week a year ago and
1900 over the corresponding week two years
ago. Thus far this year the receipts are
over 200 larger than the same period last
year. From the beginning of the week the
supply and demand was about equal, which
permitted statesmen TO maintain at least
steady prices and at one time sales were
perhaps 10c TO 15c higher than the close of
last week. In harmony with a weaker
movement in the general market, however,
there was a slight reaction in prices here
the latter part of the week, and at the ex-
treme close the average was very little If
any different from the close Of last week
The quality continued fully good as the
average and few choice kinds in their
class were represented. During the week
lambs sold high Sc, which is the high
est paid in this market In over year, and
the top price reported for sheep was $3.50.

Byrne S Resignation


To the Editor of the Evening Journal
Sir: True it is that Mr.. Byrne is
attracting attention out Of all proper
tlcn to his specific gravity" The
chicken thief brought to trial does like
wise: but public example demands 1t.
Hence the following:
There are two ways or resigning a
position. One when everybody mOurns
the resignation. and the position seems
well nigh impossible TO fill; the other
when the unworthy possessor sneaks
out, as Il were, just before he is kicked
out. thus cheating The one, who would
otherwise have administered the kick
OF that satisfaction. or the latter
class is the resignation OF Mr.. Byrne.
Like the turncoat. in the full implica-
ton OF the word. he is afraid to wait
and take his medicine like man. He
puts Il upon the ground OF devOting
himself the better to politics. The
truth Is as above. and also that he is
going TO talk and must talk. In fact
talking is as a powerful and mortal dis
case in him. his greatest let and hind
rance that is working his inevitable po-
litical ruin. Talk in its proper place ie
a good thing; but when II becomes a
more intense pleasure TO the orator
than to the audience. It lis q dangerous
thing and beans a striking resemblance
TO The runaway team OF Apollo.
MANY have asked how much Mr.
Byrne's conversion cost Addicks. We
think nothing. Mr.. Byrne's reward
consisted solely in the qualification Of
his chiefest wish. a chance TO talk
The sinking ship of Byrne, nevertihe-
less. holds a twofold consolation; that
he resigned before actually compelled
to do so. and THAT of a victory in the
last days of his proctorship.

The Democratic leaders are having
all sorts OF trouble with their men who
have charge OF the block books in the
various wards The people who made
up the lists were not familiar with the
voters. and many good Republicans
have been put down as Democrats. In
several CAGES the ward workers, after
the registration days, flured out ma
jorities for the Democrats. ,As a result
they we're jubilant.
a few days ago they had their books
at Democratic headquarters and were
showing them to some Of the leaders.
The result was that the maiorities be-
fgan to tumble, until the Democrats
were in the minority. This same state
OF affairs existed last election when
the Democrats claimed whole families
OF Republican voters.
These are busy days and nights
around the political clubs. At night the
report OF the work done is made. and
the various ward leaders indulge in
much hot air." Candidates are de-

Stories From Here and There

of a predecessor That the coronation
ceremony is not now regarded In &
same light as heretofore is attested by
the fact that the most Of the reigning
kings of Europe have never been
crowned.
The Kaiser, who has now been on
the throne for over twelve years, will
probably never have the crown, either
of Prussia or Germany, placed upon
his imperial head.
There is a story prevalent on the con-
t.nent that the Bishop of Posen, whose
predecessors have crowned Prussian
kings for many generations. is persona
non gratal with THE Kaiser, and that so
long as the present bishop lives the
sovereign will not allow him to perform
the ceremony; but there is also a belief
that the Kaiser is not particular
whether he is crowned or nor, so long
as he is on the throne firmly and ir-
revocably.
Victor Emmanuel. King Of Italy, has
not been crowned. nor has Queen VIII
Ihelmina of Holland. who, though her
coming of age was generally mistaken
for coronation. has not yet had her
crown placed on her head
The same is true of the King Of
Spain. whose coming Of age and acces-
sion were not an actual coronation.
The Sultan. who is now one OF the
longest reigning monarchs in Europe
has never had the ceremony performed
and it Is certain that he never will be
crowned. There is no crown symbolic
of Ottoman ereignty.-IIOndoI

District Attorney Jerome, OF New
York, has unburdened himself on the
labor question. He has little but praise
for the trusts, and nothing but condem-
nation for the labor unions. Treating
the question from a non-partisan stand
point, we admit that capital has the
right to form combinations, and 1t is
doing This to the fullest extent There
fore there is no apparent reason why
labor should not also organize to en-
force its Just demands. It should also
be understood that in the long run the
people will tolerate no tyranny either

Uncrowned Rulers

The suggestion is made in certain
high quarters that the coronation-un-
less privately perfOrmed-should In tu-
ture be discontinued altogether.
There are various potent reasons for
this. In the first place, the sovereign

tion. The fact OF his being on the
throne is sufficient justification for his
In the old days, before
the ceremony became a mere religious
function. as at present, il was regarded
as essential to crown the king before
his right and title could be looked upon
as unquestioned. He was then actually
accepted by the nobility and the people
as the rightful sovereign, against whom
all pretenders had ever after no lega
claim.
