Ware 6 Lelanas Market Letter.


 america was reported a free seller In aLlVerpool during the early hours. the uepressing effect of which was partiallv onset by spinners calling for cotton Cpnhons were at variance some stating nat .n., manchester was stagnant. and there ~S'e no signs of revival while others ,nought there were indications of increas- itis interest of spnners in spots At the eiose' options had lost points and spots 7; Sales, m0 bales. Yeserdavs Iouida- .ioiis appears to have completed the ad- Justment of operators accounts for the bureau, as today witnessed m eantinu- ance of the pressure.
 The session was exeeptionanv ouiat. little scattered selling on the belief that efforts would again be made to denress prices, followed the slightly lower open- Ing, but the effect on prices was trivial Advices of hot weather in Texas with re- ports from numerous points of tempera- lures from loo to 105. suggested caution to sellers, convinced timid bulls and brought in a dull market a sufficient amount of support to cause a moderate advance.
 The consensus of opinion regarding to- morrow's bureau, points to figures prae- tically unchanged from last month--that is V, although 1t is expected that efforts to depress prices may ensue should the condition exceed 76.
 Principally because 1t is believed that in the absence of a very bulllsh bureau, the long interest in the market, on ac- count of its scattered nature, will prove vulnerable and values could more easily be put down than up. We believe, how ever, that such a result would only prove temporary and cotton will be shown to be cheap at present prices, unless tomor- rows bureau shows conditions in ex- cess of 76 per cent.

The market was decidedly irregular and jerky at the start, selling appearing early on declines abroad and fine weather in the northwest, but the crowd were short and when offerings dried up there was rush to cover commission and receiving houses however, selling on the advances while noteworthy feature was the es- tablishment of full carrying charge at one time between August and Septem- Der.
 The Russian news was conflicting. but northwestern crop reports were favora- ble and while sentiment generally was bearish 1t was modified to some extent by a falling off in the southwestern move- ment, and a nearer approach to export business.
 The strength in corn was bull help at the close, but in the event of any uprush in prices we would decidedly favor sales.
 Corn-Large shipments and talk of a good export business of late started shorts covering, the advances being as- sisted through the buying of Patten brokers, which was quite aggressive, es- peciaily in the September kind and was kept up all through the session.
 Crop advices were very favorable. but it looks as If receipts would run light. The Patten party are taking very bullish views, and predicting higher prices, Fur ther advances win meet with resistance, but with manipulation again in evidence it seems useless to buck against It.
 Oats--There was good buying of all the futures. which started shorts covering, less resistance being shown, the situa- tion presenting a stranger appearance and the belief prevailing that prices were due for a good reaction. Commission houses were on the buying side also the Patten crowd, and we would favor pur- chases on any dip.
 Provisions-Hogs were lower, ana there was some commission house selling, as well as by the smaller packers. the big fellows. however. stepping in when prices were worked off, and closing the market strong.

Would ConfIne Drunkards
a CITIZEN

Jefferson City, Jan. Is Gill
more of Shannon would have all
drunkards classed as such by the
court. He introduced bill before
the House this morning providing
for the confinement of habitual in
ebriates in an asylum, their cases
to be passed upon before a jury Of
six before judge Of the circuit
court.
Not only would he place a habit
ual drunkard's property in the
hands of trustee, but he would
fine any dealer in liquor from $50
to 800 or impose n Jail sentence
of from thirty TO ninety for selling
to a man who had been declared an
inebriate by the court, within
year after the sentence.
when a man reaches the stage
from drink that he is no longer
able and competent to manage his
affairs | think that the court should
step in" suid Gilmore this morn
ing, and provide for the manage
ment of his estate. Many men
have lost everything through drink
and their heirs and wives suffered
simply because of the lack of such
a law.
when a man is Ndjudged insane
the states make some provisions
for taking care of him. Habitu al
inebriates should be given the same
attention, for they are no more re.
sponsible or capable of conducting
a business than a crazy man.
No one trusts an insane man,
while a plain drunkard if he still
retains wealth is allowed to sQuaus

Senator Stones Charges

in the Senate since the election, re-
opened to-day the charges that
Cortelyou used his knowledge as
former Secretary of Commerce and
Labor to Esecure large contribu-
tons from trusts to the Republican
campaign fund.
His arguments upheld his resOlu-
ton, recently introduced, which
calls for an investigation of contri-
buttons by corporations to national
campaign funds. Cortelyou. he
declared, stands negative and ST.

answer TO Judge Alton =. Parker
admitted that contributions had
been received.
He found evidence of the evil in

asserted that to his knowledge a
So, 100000 corruption fund had
been raised to beat Bryan 1896.
The use of money cOrrupts the

the extent to which such corrupt

CHAPTER III.
SIMPLICITY OF THOUGHT.


TT IS not alone among the practlcG
manifestations of our life that
there is need of making clear.
\ Ing; the domain OF our Ideas IL IN
the same case. Anarchy relgns In hu.
man thought. We walk In the wood.
without compass or sun, lost among
the brambles and briers Of Infinite lie
tail.
When once man has recognized the
fact that he has an aim, and that this
aim is TO be man, he organizes his
thought accordingly. Every mode o!
thinking or judging which does moi
make him better and stronger he re-
Jects as dangerous.
And first Of all he fees the too COM
mon cOntrariety Of amusing himself
with his thought. Thought Is a tool,
with its own proper function; It isn't n
toy. Let us take an example. Here is
the studio OF a painter. The implements
are all In place; everything indicates
that this Rssemblage Of means is ar
ranged with view to m end. Throw
the room open TO apes. They viii climb
on the benches, swing from the cords,
rig themselves in draperles, Golf them
selves with slippers, Juggle with brush
es, Ribble the colOrs and pierce the can
vases to SEQ what Is behind the paint.
! don't question theiF enjoyment. Ger
tainly they must find this kind OF eX-
ercise extremely interesting. But an
ntelieF Is not made to let monkeys
loose IN. No more Is thought q ground
for RcFObRtic eYOlutiOns. 4 man worthy
Of the name thinks rs he Is, as his
tastes nrei he goes about 1t with his
whole heart. and not with that fitful
and sterile curiosity which, under pre-
text Of observing and noting every
thing, runs the risk Of neypr experience
ing deep and true emotion or accom-
plishing Il right deed.
Another habit IN urgent need Of cor.
rection, ordinary attendant on conven-
tiOnal life, is the mania for examining
ana analysing oneself at every turn.
I DO not invite men to neglect intro.
spectioR and the examination Of con-
science, The eRdeayOr 10 understand
ones own mental attitudes aud motives
OF conduct Is an essential element OF
good living. But quite other Is this ex-
treme vigilance, this incessant Obser-
walton OF ones life and thoughts, this
