To-day'a Markets.

Chicago Union Stock Yards Nov 80,
The hog market could not stand
prosperity. All the gain made yes
terday was lost to-day and more too.
Packers had their little hammers out
and they used them. The start OF
the days dealings found yesterdays
average prices reduced to 10 cents
and a slow, sluggish trade, and this
in face of the fact that receipts were
below the estimated run and were
not heavy for Wednesday. The
closing of the market showed prices
a shade lower than opening and a
feeling that a further decline is in
store for tomorrow. The bulk of the
sales to-day were at $6.95@715 as
against $7.05@7.25 yesterday; $6.95Q
10 last Wednesday and $790@S. go
on the last day of October. The top
price paid to-day was 1920; yester-
day it was $735; last Wednesday it
was 1920 (same as today and Oc-
tober 81, it was $500. A few head of
heavy hogs went to a Spectator to-
day for S7.25.
Average price of hogs at Chicago
was $7.17, against $713 Mon
day, $7.02 a week ago, $S.25 year
ago and $5.76 two years ago.
Monday and Tuesdays receipts this
week compared with week ago in
creased 10000 cattle, decreased 5,100
hogs and increased $500 sheep.
Compared with a year ago cattle de-
creased 12,9OO and hogs 1.4OO, while
sheep increased 22.400.

THE SENATORIAL QUESTION.

We asked Major Lacey this morn
ing his views as to whether Senator
Young could hold over or whether the
Governor could make new appoint
ment, if the legislature should fail to
elect this winter.
He replied, that this is an old and
much-discussed question. In the case
of Senator Samuel Smith maryland,
1909 it was held that the appointee
would hold until the senate was Of
fieiaIly notified of the failure to elect.
In Senator r. c. Winthrop's case
Massachusetts, 1850 the committee
reported TO same effect, but the SEN
ate took no action. In Jared w. Will
liams' case New Hampshire, 1851
the senate held that the appointee's
time expired if the Legislature adj
journed without filling the vacancy.
In Lee Nantes case (Montana9 and
H. W. Corbett's case (Oregon)s the
senate held that if the Legislature had
an opportunity to elect and failed 20
do so the governor could not make
an appointment. To same effect y,
s. Allen case wash, 1889; ). =.
Phillips case (Vt., 1854.
THE Senate discussed and recoa-
sidered the whole matter fully In
case of Senator NJ. s Quay, in 1900.
The question being a constitutional
one, each senate must decide fors IT
self. The Quay case treated the sub
ject on principle and it was fully dis
cussed. 1t was decided by a vote OF
80 to 80 that the governor could not
fill the vacancy after the legislature
had failed to act A change of one
vote would have decided the case the
other way. Where a question Of this
kind is decided by as close vote as
80 to 80 it cannot be considered as
settled at all.
Some of the greatest lawyers in the
senate voted with the thirty-two:
Cullom, Carter, c. K. Davis, Foraker,
Frye. Spooner, Daniel and WOlcott
are among the thirty-two; so, also,
Allison and Gear, the Iowa Senators.
Spooner was unquestionably the
strongest constitutional lawyer on
the republican side, and Daniel of
Virginia the strongest on the demo
cratic side. and they both voted that
the appointment might be made.
From this it is obvious that the
question cannot be deemed as having
been finally closed. Senator Hoar's
speech in the Quay case made very
strong case and Hoar was at the time
the chairman of the judiciary com
mittee in the Senate.

great art in washing gloves, and like
everything else, it is easy, when one
knows all about 1t.
Put the gloves on, then rub thor
oughly with white soap, just as If
the hands were being washed and the
gloves were not there. Rinse them
out in cold water in which there Is
a little bluing; this prevents them
from turning yellow.
When they are thoroughly clean
ed, rub ivory soap into them before
removing them from the hands. This
keeps them from becoming fuzzy and
looking as though they were made
