Boston, Dec. 6.-BostOnians who are
| interested in the preservation of his
tCric things were astonished and grieved
to read in the report of Secretary of the
Navy Bonaparte that the old Constitu-
ton might be used as a target, after
having been stripped of whatever would
be worth retaining for new vessel, to
be call the Constitution.
Opinions are particularly unanimous
that Secretary Bonaparte is not at all
in touch with the feeling of New En-
gland, at least, toward the historic
friGate.
Wicked" Saws Charles Reed.
Secretary Charles Reed of the Bos-
ton society said: Il think that the sug-
target is wicked 1t is childish. 1t is
that Of 4 man devoid of sense of the
value of things historical. Think of the
inspiration that vessel has been to chill
dren There is enough left in her to
make her still, as a matter of se1ti-
ment, "Old Ironsides.'

the Constitution stay where she is and
as she is

report strikes me very unfaTorably in

ished at such a thing"
EX-MayOr Samuel A. Green, the his
tOrian said: Il am sure that am voic-
ing the sentiment Of the community
when / say to treat old Ironsides as
suggested would be an outrage"
Prof. Albert Business Hart, of Har-
ward. said: Il strikes me as a false
move. The Constitution is the one ma
tiOnal ship we have Think of her
splendid history. She has been more or
less rebuilt, as has the British Victory,
but the sentiment is there, and is a
splendid thing to cultivate"
Hon. John Long said: Il am SUR
prised; SO long as a plank remains it
ought to be held in reverence and pre-
served. Mr.. Bonaparte can have no
idea how many people visit it. and what
a stimulus it is in patriotic eductation.
! sincerely trust that he may modify
his views

there has been considerable Kicking on
she part of farmers, butchers, hide buy
ers and others interested in the old plan
The fact that the insane hospital pur.
chased about 1000 head of cattle per
year gave quite an impetus to the cat.
Cleraising and the cattle-fecding indus
try in the vicinity of jackson, and made
business for a considerable number of
the citizens of the State Now, how
ever, the insane hospital is feeding more
than 1000 patients on beef that is pur-
chased from Chicago packer, who is
considered one OF the chief spirits in the
beef trust"
The amount of fresh meat purchased
per day from the Chicago concern is said
to be $50 pounds. That means 200,750
pounds for one year, and which, at $40
per pound, amounts to s1O,S4O.5O
The price of native cattle on foot is
2 1-2 cents per pound, SO that steer
weighing 1000 pounds would cost the
State $25. The value of the hide, tall
low, etc., is placed at $40, so that the
cost of 1,O00-pound steer would be only
s17.60 net. The 1,000pound steer
will dress, net meat, $50 pounds, making
the average cost per pound, 800.

The excess of cost of the Chicago
meat over the native meat in one year
is, therefore, in the neighborhood OF
$3,O11.25, at present prices of $40 for
the foreign trust meat. Last year the
State paid $50 for its Chicago meat.
1t is argued, on the other hand, that
the hospital gets out of and avoids a
great deal of trouble and worry by pur-
chasing the meat already dressed, and
also that it gets better meat. That is
perhaps true, but the cattle industry i'll

in in fairly good season, but, neverthe-
less, trading did not commence until rather
late IN the forenoon.
There was only small number OF beef
steers on the market with a couple Of
loads of choice steers in sight, and these
sold at prices that were fully steady with
last week. Trading was very slow and
uninteresting, there apparently being
hardly enough stock on the market to at
tract the buyers to the yards. Packers
evidently did not care for much stun and
were not buying readily Most Of the
beef steers We're sold bel ore the market
closed at practically steady prices
There was a moderate supply OF cows
and heifers on the market and buyers
apparently did not want much Of anything
except a few loads of the good kinds OF
cattle Real good cows and heifers sold
at prices that were strong in most cases.
Trading was very duh and draggy. The
common to medium kind OF cows sold at
prices that were generally steady to a
little lower.
There were only a few scattering loads
of stockers and feeders on the market
and these sold practically a dime higher
I'm most cases.
