Supreme Court Decision.

The decision of the Supreme
Court that precincts where the in
tegrity of the whole return was put
in question by the fraudulent ac-
ton of election officers, and where
the good and the bad ballots can
not be ascertained with any degree
of certainty, is in full accord with
legal precedent in this country for
a hundred years. The most re-
cent case in Colorado was the Lon
doner case in 1890, when exactly
the same sort of a decision was
given by the Supreme Court 1t
was then heartily approved by
Senator Patterson. Now he OBJ

misuse of judicial authority.

Special 10 La lara CHRONICLE
Kansas City, Dec. 10, 1904-The
feature of the cattle market this week
has been the slack demand from all
quarters for medium to common
grades of killing cattle. Choice to
fancy steers and heifers have held
steady but the big majority of both
steers and COWS is 20 TO 80 cents lower
than week ago, and the market has
been slow and lifeless nearly every
day. A few punches have sold at
5000 to Sc 30, and odd head up to
81 so, but most sales of beef steers
have been at 81 90 to S525. Heavy
cows sold from So 90 to 1915, rhoice
ones at $500 to So %. good heifers

Disappointing beef cattle market, there
are enough cattle feeders with conf
dence in future prices to clean up the
supply of suckers and feeders from
day to day, at present strong prices,
$500 to 81 co, shade higher than
u week ago. Stock sac stuff and feed
ing bulls range from $500 to S2.75
stock calves $3.50 to 1915.
hog prices continue to huctua'e
mildly around the S4.60 mark for
the best heavy hogs. Packing weights
100 to 25Otb, sell at $40 to S4.55,
pigs and lights SO IS to 81 As. As
long as the prices ID the country are
$500 or more receipts are liberal, but
each break shuts off the run. Pack.
ers want the hogs, and it is though,
prices will go on lower at present.
Muttons and lambs have sold 20
to so cents higher this week than
last. The stiff prices are partly re-
suit of snappy competition, and partly
to attract bigger receipts. as packers
want more stuff. Best lambs sell at
5000 to S6.65, yearlings SIS 90 to
SIS 25, weathers S475 to $500, ma
tive ewes up to 81 rs, westerns $500
to S4 10. No feeding sheep or lambs
have been received this week.

LAST weeks panic in Wall street,
which in three days reduced the
value of sixteen leading stocks

hottest degree the result of recon-
mendation in the presidents mes
sage, or the proposed policy of the
republican party. Neither can be
laid wholly at the door of Mr.. Law
son, although he contributed his
influence. The market was weak
because it had become stale" that
is stocks been forced up to their
full measure of value, and a reac-
ton was sure to follow. When
the topping began the usual f.
nancial cyclone was witnessed in
the stock exchange. But as the
business, banking and manufac-
turing conditions of the country
are sound, backed by vast crops
and vast orders for manufactured
articles. the stock market will soon
find its normal level. and the shorn

Beavers, Machen, Croft, and many
others, finds it impossible TO ex-

THERE is at least one English
man, Sir Alfred Moseley who after
an exhaustive study of conditions
in this country, does not hesitate
to say that the prosperity of the
United States is wonderful. Her
progress, he adds, will be steadily
and rapidly upward. and he pre-
diets that during the next genera
ton the commercial and idealistic
achievements of America may
fairly stagger humanity. All this
is largely owing to a free republi-
can form of government supple
mented by a scientific and prac-
teal system of education. Give
the people a square deal and equal
opportunity, and progress will take
care of itself.
