Two Sides to Every Question.

1t is no credit to any community
to boast that they will not allow Ne
groes, Italians, Mexicans or any 9th
er inferior class OF people to dwell in
their midst. In this land OF free
dom such a condition of affairs is en-
tirely at variance with American
principles. and has very few apollo
gists. He is bu. poor student of
political economy, and religious, So
cial and educational conditions, who
supposes for an instant that the
presence of an inferior race will iujure
and subvert the intelligence and vir-
tue of the Caucasian race. Secure in
the power Of their social position and
intellectual predominance, Americans
do not fear the alien races, nor do
they feel that it Is any lowering of
their dignity to deal with them kind
ly and justly, as the law demands.
They are content that their superb
ority shall be known and shown BY
the protection, justice and right they
accord q weak and inferior people.

Dominick C. O'Malley, the notori-
Gus crook and promoter Of crime,
who has held sway in New Orleans by
subordination and perjury for the
last ten years, if the court records Of
that city are any criterion to Judge
from, is just now coming in for a Wig
orous roasting and exposure by the
Daily States and other city papers.
That such man could by any means
hold power in that great city, is a
sad commentary on the independ-
ence and manhood of it's people who
fain would claim that eternal viei-
lance is the price of the liberty and
enlightenment that they profess to
enjoy.

"The People," published at Baton
Rouge by Gen. Leon Jastremski, him
self an old Confederate soldier, last
week contained the following compli-
mentary notice of Rev. T. K. Faunt-
leroy, pastor of the Methodist church
at this place:
Rev. T. X. Fauntleroy, the noble
Methodist pastor ut Colfnx, was q
distinguished visitor attending the
L. S. u. commencement exercises the
past week. chad the great ga tisfac-
ton OF witnessing the graduation OF
his worthy son. Nowhere,is DR.. Faunt-
leroy more warmly welcome than in
Baton;Rouge. Heis remembered here
in a dual capacity. First, when on
the 9Th of August, 1862, as a Lieuten-
antcommanding battery of Confed-
rate artillery, he pushed his guns right
into the town to make way for General
Breckenridge's infantry and fought
them with the resoluteness ola knight
of old. Then, after peace had spread
her white wing over the lands, the
loyal and gallant Fauntleroy beloved
by every wearer OF the Grey, embraced
the methodist Ministry and he preach
ed the Gospel here rs iervidly as he
had fought under thestarred cross Of
Dixie. His friendships and good deeds
had no boundaries and no boundaries
of creed stood against him. He hon.
ors every passionate to which he If as
singed and he is worthy of every hon.
or that any passionate could bestow
upon him.

A BAD CATTLE MARKET
In Spite of Smaller Supplies the
Cattle Trade Has Been Bad
For Sellers
MANY BEEF STEERS BELOW 81
Trade Was Slow Today at Weak Prices
and Exporters Were Not Doing Much
The Advance in Prices of Hogs
Has Started Up Shipments and
Prices Were Forced Lower.

Chicago, Jan. 7-Cattle-Notwith-
In this week the market has been q
bad one for sellers. a few choice heavy
excepted, and greatly increased sales
of beef steers below four dollars
have taken place. Today's run was
more than ample for the Friday mar
ket and trade was slow at weak prices.
Exporters were not doing much. but
they have been good buyers during the
week.
Buyers for the local packing con-
Germs, while making some preteXt or
doing business, are certainly trading
on meager scale. They declare the
beef trade is in n .wretchedly weak
condition. Both local and eastern de-
mand for dressed beef, according to
these buyers, is feeble, Of very mar
row volume and trade in such shape IS
to necessitate reduced purchases of the
palmer grades of dressed beef steers,
until the outlet for beef expands much.
No Improvement is evident in the
stocker and feeder branch of the trade,
the same sluggish, feeble movement be-
ing evident with prices holding at the
reduced range noted earlier this week.
1t takes very choice class OF young
steers to land here aow above $3.50.
SUCH as go at $3.75 M400 being Of good
weight, and the class than ten days
ago would have commanded prices
about % cents above that.
Hogs.
The great boom in prices has at last
started greatly increased numbers for
this market, yesterdays sales showing
an average of 80 over last Saturdays
quotations. Trade today was fairly
active with good demand for fat
hogs of good weight to ship east. but
greatly increased offerings enabled
sellers to force prices about 10 to II
and a. half lower on an average.
Sheep.
A reaction has taken place in prices
this week, and both lambs and sheep
have suffered quite a decline, but
there was no further change today,
the supply being OF the usual restrict
ed Friday character There was
fairly active demand from different
classes of buyers.

With Serious Crime.
Special to mes-Republican.
Davenport, Jan. %. - There was one
suppressed indictment returned by the
grand jury on Wednesday forenoon.
The true bill was returned against
James White, of Big Rock, who is
charged with the crime of grand lar
ceny in connection with the theft Of
some cattle belonging to George Knoc-
he, farmer living at Wheateland, but
who had cattle pastured near Big Rock.
with hiring Jesse Folletts and an
other young man to round up the
cattle, which were boldly loaded on
board cars and shipped into Chicago.
The proceeds were divided. Folletts
and the other young man fled into
Minnesota, where they were later
captured by Sheriff Macarthur. Fol-
let's and the other young man were
indicted and on q trial We're convict
ed, and are now serving time at Fort
Madison.
1t was upon their evidence given at
the trial that James White was in
dicted.
Wednesday afternoon Deputy Sher-
iff Henry Eggers drove out to Big
Rock armed with bench warrant,
and took White into custody, and
brought him to this city. His bond
was fixed at $4,000. He furnished it
and was released. His arraignment
