SHEEP-The early estimate OF receipts
this morning was twenty cars, but later
trains brought In unexpected shipments
until the total ran up to thirty-one cars
a very large proportion of them ewes, and
quite a good many OF them not overly de-
sirable killers. AS was the case yesterday,
there was n weak undertone to the market
especially on ewes, and stlll there was a
very fair demand. so that the great big
bulk OF the receipts changed hands before
10 o'clock In the morning. AS to prices
there was no very great change, some of
the same stuff here yesterday brought the
same price again today, while In other
cases lower prices were paid, but the stuff
was heavier in weight. Thus statesmen
we're quoting their sales anywhere from
steady to as much as weak to Zoe lower.
The weakness, as noted above, was prin-
cipally on ewes, owing to the fact that
there was really more ewes than the mar
ket required.
There we're no feeders Of any conse-
quence here to make a test OF the market
on that class.

that there was q total OF over $50 cars on
sale. With the market extremely uneven
today, every one Mas completely at sea
and no ono claimed to be able to tell ex-
actly what the market was. A mans
opinion would naturally be based upon the
time he sold yesterday, ana as there was
a difference OF about SOC between the early
and late sales yesterday. It will be readily

Some OF the packers were very bearish IN
their views and were not trying to do much
at the prevailing prices, 30 hat the trade
was AZ no time very active. in fact, II took
q good deal Of work on the part Of sellers
to unload.
At midday there we're stnl ten leads OF
hogs In first hands unsold. but the most
OF them were light weights. The fact is
light weight hogs suffered the most decline
and buyers Disseminated very ctronRly
against the common grades OF light hogs
especially, and holders OF such found Il
hard work TO unload. II took right good
light weights to bring $500, and anything
on the plain order buyers wanted AZ con-
tiderably less than that figure.

very time that he OVERRIDE the opposition
OF those who wished not to go forward at
all, The goal was never dim before his
vision. but he picked his way cautiously.
without either halt or hurry. as he strobe
toward Il, through such a morass OF diff
Guilty that no man of less courage would
have attempted 1t, while Il would surely
have overwhelmed any man OF judgment
less serene.
%Yet perhaps the most wonderful thing
OF all, and, from the standpoint of the
America today and Of the future, the most
vitality important, was the extraordinary
way in which Lincoln could fight val
iantly against what he deemed wrong and
yet preserve undiminished his love and
respect for the brother from whom ne diff
fered. In the hour of a triumph that
would have turned any weaker mans
head. In the heat of a struggle which
spurred nan a good man to dreadful
vindictiveness, he said truthfully that so
long as he had been in his office he had
never willingly planted a thorn in any
mans bosom, and besought his supporters
to study the incidents of the trial
through which they were passing as
philosophy from which to learn wisdom
and not as wrongs to be avenged; end
ing with the solemn exhortation that. as
the strife was over, all should reunite In
a common effort to save their common
country.
Quality OF Clear Vision.
He lived in days that were great and
terrible, when. brother fought against
brother for what each sincerely deemed
to be the right. In a contest so grim the
strong men who alone can carry IL
through are rarely able to do justice TO
the deep convictions OF those with WHOM
they grapple in mortal strife. At such
times men see through a glass darkly;
to only the rarest and Hottest spirits is
vouchsafed that clear vision which grad
usually comes to all, even to the lesser, as
the struggle fades into distance, and
wounds are forgotten, and peace creeps
back to the hearts that were hurt. But
to Lincoln was given this supreme vision.
He did not hate the man from whom he
differed. Weakness was as foreign as
wickedness to his strong, gentle nature;
but his courage was of a quality so high
that II needed no bolstering of dark pas
sion. He saw clearly that the same high
qualities. the same courage and willing
ness for self-sacrifice and devotion to the
right as it was given them to see the
right, belonged to both the men of the
north and to the men of the south. AS
the years roll by and as all Of us wherever
we dwell, grow to feel an equal pride in
the valor and self-devotion, alike OF the
men who wore the blue and the men whC
wore the gray, so this whole nation will
grow to feel a peculiar sense of pride In
the man whose blood was shed for the
union of his people and for tire freedom
of a race, the lover of his country and Of
all mankind, the mightiest of the mighty
men who mastered the mighty days. Abra-

CNAA1 seNaN ~ -
CATrLE-There were 125 cars OF cattle
here today, a very fair run for a Friday,
but the market was "a long way from being
satisfactory to the selling interests. The
trade was very slow and dull on all Kinds
and The forenoon was very well advanced
before enough business had been tram
sacted to make a real test of values.
Buyers started out bidding prices that
were generally 10c lower than yesterday,
making the market Rmound 9c lower for
the two days. Cows and heifers were also
very slow and generally a little over. The
only kind OF cattle that started out steady
was feeders and there were not many Of
them here.

Tribute of Senator Lodge.
BOSTON. Mass, Feb. R.-The life and
work Of Abraham Lincoln were the sub
jects Of an address by Senator Lodge be-
fore the Massachusetts Legislature today.
Reviewing the early vicissitudes of the
great emancipation and speaking Of his
splendid qualities Of mind, he spoke at
length upon the criticism and abuse that
was hurled at Lincoln during the trying
days Of the civil war.
II WISH" he said, merely to detach
Lincoln from the myth, which has possess
sion of US all, that his wisdom, his purity
and his greatness were as obvious and
acknowledged, or ought to have been as
obvious and acknowledged, in his life
time as they are today
Mr.. Lodge spoke OF the growth in power
OF the central government, which, he said,
was Inevitable. because. he added, it goes
hand in hand with the growth of the
country. Nothing can accelerate the
growth OF the national power to an I'M
wholesome degree so much as the failure
of the states, from local or selfish motives,
10 do their part In the promotion of meas
ures which the good OF the whole people,
without respect to state lines, demands.
No such reproach, as far as / am aware.
lies at the door Of Massachusetts. The
president of the United States has said.
not once but many times, that IL every
state had adopted corporation and railroad
laws like those of Massachusetts, there
would have been no need Of much of that
national railroad legislation which he has
advised and which has been largely en-
acted.
Mr.. Lodge declared that no state should
be given a right to disregard a treaty
made by the United States or to 50 act as
to bring war upon the nation.
THE people OF the United States" he
said, will not long suffer their foreign
relations to be imperiled or permit the
peace OF the country 10 be put IN jeopardy
because some one state does not choose
to submit TO the action of the general
government in a matter with which the
general government alone can deal"

LIncoln's sanity In Reform.

I'VE OF this day must try to solve MANY
social and Industrial problems, requiring To
an especial degree the combination of in
resolution with cool-headed san
tty. We can profit by the way in which
Lincoln used both these traits as he stroye
for reform. We can learn much of valua
from the very attacks which following that
course brought upon his head, attacks alike
by the extremists OF revolution and by the
extremists OF reaction. He never wavered
in devotion to. his principles. in his love for
the union and In his adherence OF slavery
Timid and lukewarm people were always
denouncing him because he was too ex-
IRENE, but as a matter OF fact he never
went TO extremes. he worked step by stem:
and because OF this the extremists hated
and denounced him with a fervor which
now seems to us fantastic in its dedication
OF the unreal and the impossible. At the
very time when one side was holding him
up as the apostle OF social revolution be-
cause he was against slavery, the leading
abolitionist denounced him as the slave
hound Of Illinois When he was the sec
ond time candidate for president the major
ity OF his opponents attacked him because
OF what they termed his extreme radicaIIsm.
while a minority threatened to bolt his
nomination because he was not radical
enough. He had continually to check those
who wished 70 - forward too fast at the
