quence the price is subject to decline.
He reports a firm market, however,
and says that the market for dressed
hogs is also holding it's own. The
Lenten season is of course having it's

is a good market for live chickens

NO TRADE FOR BROKERS.
Wall Street Offices Open Last Night,
But Had Few Customers.

NEW YORK, November 4.-Although
practically every stock exchange house
having an uptown branch kept it open
last night, in order that spectators might
have an opportunity to do business on
the London exchange, which opened at
O'Clock New York time, on the Lon
don curb. which this morning opened two
hours earlier than usual. or at 2:30 o'clock
New York time it was reported that only
very small amount of business was
done. Until the results in New York
state and the nation were certain the
brokers' offices were crowded with GUS
toners, but they were there more for
the purpose of learning the results than
for trading On either the London or the
New York market.
For weeks Wall street has discounted
the election, which followed closely the
lines of the market fOrecasters, and for
this reason there was no rush to place
either buying or selling orders. The cleo
ton of Taft, however. released large
number of orders which had been given
with the condition that they were only
to be placed in event of republican vic
tory. This business helped to keep the
uptown offices busy during a part Of
the night and the early morning hours.

the conduct of which he established an
enviable reputation, and his power of
application and his ability to get away
with an enormous quantity of work also
received ample demonstration during this
time.
1t was in this period of his service that
Judge Taft rendered the labor decisions
which have made him famous One OF
the most important and far reaching OF
his judgments was that against the Addy-
stone Pipe Company, in which for the
first time the Sherman antitrust law was
made a living, vital force for the curbing
and furnishing Of monopoly. When this
case reached the Supreme Court Mr. Taft
received the unusual honor Of having his
decision quoted in full and handed down
as part Of the opinion OF the high court,
which sustained him at every point.
His Work in the Philippines.
When President Mckinley asked Judge
Taft to go to Manila to undertake the
difficult and thankless task of starting
the Filipinos right, he sacrificed the
judicial career which was his life's am
bition and shouldered the white mans
burden. 1t was in March. 1900. that he
received his appointment as chairman of
the Philippine commission. Not many
Americans ever have comprehended thor
oughly the size of Mr.. Tafts undertaking
or the full meaning of his achievement.
Mr.. Taft arrived in Manila to find a
people subdued by force OF arms. but
Unanimously hostile, sullen and SUSPECT
GUS. They were still struggling with the
bitterness OF despair against the power in
which they all saw only the hand of the
oppressor.
In three years Mr. Taft had overcome
and changed all this by the persuasive
power of the most winning personality
the Fiiipinos had ever seen and the re-
markable efficiency Of his executive meth

Although Judge Taft had given up Lis
judicial career when he left for Manila,

From the New York World
Gov. Hughes reelection is IA great
moral victory. He won it himself by ap-
healing to the moral sense of the better
citizenship And it was accomplished
by democratic votes over an enormous
republican detection. Against him were
the votes and money of Wall street, the
stock exchange, the traction merger, the
life insurance companies and the petty
republican bosses whom he had offended.
The Conscience of the People.
From the New York Sun.
Gov. Hughes was reelected by the
same silent, underestimate, incalcuiable
force which gave him the nomination
against all the usually decisive factors
the conscience of the people expressing
itself in confidence in the man who knows
that that is right which he thinks Is

fight which he has been compelled to
make against the opposition of corporate
influences working in conjunction with
the large and varied gambling frater-

been accepted generally as a setback
for high moral motive in administrative

James Schoolcraft Sherman has been
prominent in New York politics and in
the House of Representatives for many
years. He is one of the big Five in
that body and one of the most influential
members. Mr.. Sherman excelled as a
lawyer, as man of affairs, as a poll
tician and as a legislator. His success
has been largely due to his strong per-
scnality and to his power to make friends.

Richard Updike Sherman and Mary
Frances Sherman. Gen. Sherman was a
prominent citizen of Utica. was active in
military affairs. and held several impor-
tant state positions. Mr. Sherman's
mother came of an old Vermont family.
The first political office Mr.. Sherman
ever held was that of mayor of Utica.
He was elected to this Office in 1884 at the
age of twenty-nine. the youngest mayor
Utica ever had. He was nominated lor
Congress after his one term as mayor
and has served in the House continuously
since 1887 save for one term. 1890 to 1892,
when he was one of the many victims of
the democratic landslide. He will occupy
his seat in the House the coming session
of Congress. NOTWITHSTANDING the TACT

She denied the charge, but was found
guilty by the mayor. who imposed !

money and the mayor did not want
to board and lodge her at the county
jail, so he suspended sentence, after
giving the woman another sound lee

city within a week. The defendant
promised to leave and she was given
her liberty.
