Noon letter to the Silverstein

After working the labor troubles in
Great Britain as a factor in the mar
ket until it had become nauseating
and a flood Of INSTRUMENTATION, yes
terday during which the bears rout-
ed the bulls without mercy, the mar
lSet showed less strength than expect
ed, when news was had that the dif-
ferences were adjusted. there, to, was
no lock out. Perhaps there was some
doubt left as to- the absolute correc-
ton of the news and caution was
thought wise until there could be no
doubt
Cables showed that the foreign
market was largely manipulated as
there was reaction from the sharp
squirt, though clpsing prices were
better than due.
On this side the passing OF the
cloud and the bullishness of the week
end figures encouraged support, but
there was a large hot of cotton for
sale on the bulges and while prices
did not go off much, there was no
aggressive support.
The public was taking little hand
and the professional crowd was sup
posed to be short.
Selling after the opening was scat
tered and sentiment favored a better
level of prices, but it will seemingly
take better spot demand to- start prices
up.
The domestic spinners are expected
! to show more interest very soon, and
the foreigners are expected to con
4 tinue to be quite a factor in taking
/ spots. The movement to interior
| towns continue to run full and i:
/ causing some caution on the part o.
! those who might otherwise be NOR.

The republican dailies of this
state gravely announce that the re.
publican delegation to the national
convention has been selected, and
give the names of the fortunate
ones. 1t would be interesting tc
know who has the authority to Sc.
lect these representatives of the
people long before even the loca
primaries have been held. How.
ever, as the selection has been made
it seems like an awful waste Of
time to hold local primaries, count,
conventions and state convention
1t would be an interesting sight t.
behold the people "get up on Their
ear and elect delegates to the state
convention that would smash thu
slate to smithereens, and thus teach
the politicians to leave the people,!
prerogatives alone in the future.

PARTY BALkS ROOSEVELT.

If President Roosevelt is honest
in advocating the reforms enume-
rated by him in various speeches
and messages-and most people are
willing to give him credit for that
he must be very lonesome man,
for he is man without a party.
The republican party, those of it
W 10 determine the policies of the
party, may shout for Roosevelt
principles as much as they please;
but when it comes to action they
leave the president stranded.
There is one official who could do
more to help the president than all
the rest of the party, and that is
the speaker Of the house. When one
sees the republican representatives
claiming to be for Roosevelt and
then unanimously electing as speak
er the ablest and most determined
opponent of any remedial legisla-
ton, thus practically blocking any
such legislation, one may be par
doned for doubling the sincerity of
the alleged friends of Roosevelt's
policies. And over in the senate
wing the leader selected by the re-
publicans is the notorious Standard
Oil Senator, Aldrich of Rhode Is
land, who is there simply to look
out for the interests of the preda-
tory corporation specifically named
by the president as one of the worst
law breakers. The republican plat
form this year will undoubtedly
endorse Roosevelt, but the same
gang will be on hand in the next
congress to hinder those policies
from being carried out.

An important decision was hand
ed down by the United States SUI
preme court last Monday, in the
suit against the Great Northern
Railway Company for violating the
the Elkins anti-rebate law. The
defense of the company was that
the Hepburn bill repealed the first
section of the Elkins law, and thus
released all who had violated said
section. The court decided against
this contention. While the amount
Of the fine in this particular case
was only $4,000, the decision be-
comes very important as a prece-
dent, as one Of the main points
made by the Standard Oil company
in its effort to get out of paying
the $29, 100000 fine imposed by
Judge Lands was the point just de.
cided. Hence the main defense of
the Standard Oil is knocked out
before being presented, and unless
the company can discover some 9th.
er defense it will have to pay up.
A number of other smaller cases are
also affected by the decision, the
law violators being deprived of one
loophole.
