against sixty-elght permits for October.
1896. with a total OF S42A7OO. It happened
that one large permit swelled the 1905 total.

number OF moderate-pri, a but substantial
homes included In the 100 permits. The
bulk Of the permits for last month, and for
several months. has been for homes rang
ing in price from $3.50 TO $500. for which
there has been a great demand in Omaha

TO BUILD UP THE DEMOCRATIC
 PARTY.

PARTY.
 earnestly hope that all shallow schemes of coalition and advice and makeshift and reconciliation will be abandoned, and that Democrats will instead, seek to build up their party; first, by definitely committing it to a sincere, non-demagogic practical pro- gram on the lines of it's own true doe trines of hostility to special privilege, equality or right, jealousy of monop- oly (Whether under law or in defiance of laW), jealousy of the extension of oVernmental powers, and jealousy especially, of increase of Federal or central powers at the expense of State and local powers, second, by firm, patient, aggressive promotion of such doctrines without dependence upon the lurid, hollow, center the stage tactics in which Mr. Hearst is far from being the only able and inauen- tial sinner, and third, I venture to add, by running the politics of this great Nation, or this great Democra- tic Party, on something better and more fruitful, and certainly more solid and lasting, than personal hatreds and the weapons of contumely and contempt-that is to say by making politics, which, rightly understood and practiced, is a noble vocation the are of construction and building up, not the mere art of destruction.
 I am so incorrigibly optimistic as to hope that the large body of sin cere and patriotic Democrats who lately espoused MT. Hearst's cause, no less than-perhaps more than-the large body of equally sincere and pat riotic Democrats who opposed it, will find the ideal or political action, not in Dennis Kearney on the Sand Lots of San Francisco, but in Gov. Tilden, to whom the work of punish ing public and powerful criminals and exterminating public wrong doing, ne cessary and useful as it was, never dwarfed the truly constructive and creative work of Government; or, if you please, in Mir Gladstone, of whom a great adversary of his said that to his legislative career was due a real and material bettering of the condi- ton of life for every man, woman, and child In that Kingdom over which as a tribune of the plain people, he ruled so many years.-Edward M.

TEsTERDAY,s STOCK MARKET
Break in st. Paul Demorallzes Rest of
 the Market.

New York, Dec. 1S-The whole of the days stock market centered on St. Paul and the demoralized break in that se- curity weakened the rest of the market effectually. The action of St. Paul was accepted as a demonstration that the rate of issue of new capital has become subject of grave uneasiness for its effect on future values of securities. The recent violent decline in Great Northern preferred and in Northern Pacific was regarded as inconclusive on that point owing to number of complicating factors. It was believed, for instance, that the plan of deferred delivery of the new stock, while pay ments were being made on installments on which interest was to be paid at a lower rate than the dividend return on the stocks, was resented by the Harri- man interests, as their large holdings of the two Hill stocks would make them lenders of the treasury resources of the Union Pacific to their business rivals under this plan. It was for this reason that the Hartman holdings of the Hill stocks were supposed to be coming on the market in large volume, with the insiders indisposed to support them to make 8 market for the Harri- man realizing.
 The first quotation for St. Paul stock this morning ranged from 194 to 195, compared with 197 last night With the successive downward plunges as the liquidation was renewed, the price at one time touched 183, a decline of 16 5-8 from the high level touched yesterday morning. The Hill stocks continued to slide downwards in company, and the price of the second rights on the curb to the huge new issues of all three stocks made wide declines. Estimates of the sufficiency of earnings to meet the large additional claims of these great additions to present stock were vague owing to the impossibility of fix ing the amount of earnings to result from the new outlay. The attractive ness of second rights from the stand point of the recent high market prices disappeared from view entirely. The bears operated freely and bought eag erly at intervals to secure their profits. The resulting rallies were short-lived, and the semi-demoralized closing was near the lowest, except for the spas modic rally in St. Paul itself
 Baltimore and Ohio and Reading of fered points of resistance to the weak ness on rumors of intended dividend in- creases. The general weakness was by no means commensurate with that in the stocks in process of issue imitation. Union Pacific was most acutely affect ed outside of the three central stocks in the days movement, and suffered an extreme loss of about points. Great Northern preferred's extreme de- cline was 1o1-2 and Northern Pacific .S1-A Money continued stringent.
 Bonds were heavy. Total sales par value $2,G66 000.
