Denver Live Stock Market.

Denver, Colo, March 18.-Total re-
ceipts at the Denver Union Stock
yards for the month to date have
been 1000 cattle, GOO hogs and 6O0O
sheep. The supply OF feeders was
the lightest Of any week 30 far this
year. The demand was rs good as
ever for the better quality. For a
matter of fact buyers from the east
have been very much disappointed
lately at not getting what they want.
The west has the best feeders and the
eastern feeders have been taught
that the Denver market is the place
to catch the best. It would appear
however that the balance of the
range stock is pretty well taken care
Of with feed now and because Of the
low price of beef, which effects feed
ers, growers of the latter are going to
hang on to their stock as long as the
feed holds out.
Common to fair feeders are selling
at $3.50 to 1916 and good to choice at
1896 to e4.26, freight paid to the river.
Beef cattle are in great demand
In Denver. The supply has not come
up to expectations. Top steers
brought 400 to $4.45 and top cows
$500 during the week.
Hogs have advanced to 47.46 for
the best and sold as low as $7.l5.
Sheep for killing nre far short Of the
demand.

Senator Gorman's Leadership.

Colorado Springs Gazette tRep.t
The position of the Democratic
party in the United States senate is
materially strengthened through the
selection of Senator German of Mary
land as official leader and chairman
OF the caucus. Senator German has
already had IL years experience ms n
member of the senate. He is an able
parliamentarian and tactician, prob
ably the best in many respects on the
floor of the upper house. He is far
seeing and quick to take advantage
Of the mistakes Of his opponents, and
at the same eime he is conservative
and not disposed to indulge in facti-
tious or reckless opposition. He will
not oppose measures merely for the
sake Of disapproval or to create trou-
BILE for the majority party. OPPOSE
ton led by him will be because he
deems it wisest and best for the In
terests of the country.
There is room in the senate and
and I'm the councils OF the
party for just such II man. There
has been no real leader among the
Democrats of the upper branch for
several years cast. 1t has rather
been n number of leaders controlling
small factions. Inasmuch, however,
a. members of varying opinions have
expressed their wish for united, ac-
tive minority party, and inasmuch as
Senator German was chosen unani-
mously for the leadership, there is
every Likelihood that the party will
make its presence felt in legislation
to a greater and more notable extent
than has been the case hitherto.

A A ANSWER

That was a subtle. but graphic
hint New Mexico gave to President
Roosevelt yesterday when the Albu-
q~uerQuans sprung a tableau on him
In front of the speakers stand at the
Colorado hotel. New Mexico was de-
picted appealing for admission to the
Union with forty-fve little girls
dressed in white representing the
states, while on the outside of a gate
stood a wistful %youngster, trying to
pass Uncle Sam. who posed as Ger
berus, guarding the statehood corral.
President Roosevelt smiled grimly
when he saw this touching spectacle
and remarked hat when New Mexico
had a little more irrigation the petite
maid on the outside might slip by
and join her sisters. This was a hint
from the other side that should not
be lost on either of the territories to
the east of Southern Califrnia.
In other words. the President sug-
gested that in stable agriculture lies
the road to statehood. and by de-
veloping water and cultivating the
soil. rather than digging prospecting
holes, the political ambition of the
territory may be the more quickly at
tanned. This is the in line with the OF
uttered adage that the permanence OF
a country's wealth is gagged by its
agricultural products. Let New Mex
leo and Arizona ponder this hint

ENTIRELY UNNECESSARY

A critic of President Roosevelt asks
Ia Gunton's Magazine for May that
the President be more explicit in his
adherence to the tariff law as it
stands. The demand is not a reason
able one; for the President, in accept
ing his nomination, gave it his full
adherence; mol has he said or writ
ten n thing that has not been In
strict accord with that adherence. he
has also in his recent speeches point
ed out that to tamper with the tariff
promises no relief whatever for the
alleged evils of the trust. In fact, the
repeal of the tariff on so-called trust
made goods would be the intrench-
INK of the trusts in an impregnable
position; it would destroy their COM
petitors in this country, and leave
them in full possession of the home
market, with a leverage on the worl
that could not be shaken. The only
ones to be harmed by such a pro-
gram are American workmen, and
this also the President has specifically
pointed out. There is no real basis for
adverse criticism of President Roose-
welt as to his loyalty to protection

Body May Have Been bnrned.
bristol Tenn, Nov. O. The Wentz
family now denies most emphatically
the report that Edward J.. Wentz, the
missing young millionaire, mas been
eound and that he is being held for a
ransom. They say that they have abso.
lutely no tidings from the missing man
and that the mystery is today as deep
as at any time.
The fact that the proposition TO deliy-
or Young wentz for 100000 came from
what is now regarded as wholly UNI
reliable source leaves the family again
at sea regarding a solution Of the mys-
terry.
II has been learned that the man who
made tie proposition was q Kentucklan
named Smith. who displayed cheap
detective badge under the lapel Of his
coat. The agents Of the Vent family
after several conferences with him
Swallowed him on his Journeys through
the mountains and finally convinced
themselves that he was q fraud,
This has been a most difficult case TO
understand. There are hundreds Of ru-
mors. but every seeming clew has
turned out to be myth. There are
those who have believed, owing to the
maneuyers Of the detectives that
Wentz has been found and that the
matter IS being kept secret, but the
positive denial Of the family on that
point sets at naueht all snrmises and
points back to the once abandoned the
ory Of murder. followed by eoncealment
OF the body.
