we're 81, 900 head, nearly 10000 more

buyers took them readily with net
advance Of IS to Is cents on killing
cattle for the week. Thursday was an
off day for the market, sales that day
ranging weak to IS lower but the
situation cleared Friday, leaving the
net advance indicated. FleShy feeders
held steady, not because Of any rush
for them from country buyers, but
mainly on account Of competition from
packers for them. Stock cattle de-
clined 10 to IS cents, and stock COWS
and heiiers closed 25 to 40 cents lower
than ten days ago. Veal calves made
skyrocket fight the first Of the week
tops selling at s8.75 but they came
down after Wednesday, best barely
reaching $500 at the close Of the
week. The run to-day is 1000 cattle
here, including 1000 quarantine cattle.
Chicago is oversupplied to-day, and
prices there lower, but it had no eifec!
here, the stuff selling actively at strong
prices. The Western Union circulated
a report this morning that stock ship
ments from every direction except east
would be greatly hampered next few
days, and this week promises TO be
another lean one at the live stock
markets in the West. This Of course,

in demanding reform in court proceed

such a demand was made in unnliS

from reversing cases on mere legal
technicalities but the der ocrats Of the

Look Out for November.

The matter OF determining how the
Mis4ogri delegates 10 the republican
national convention shall be instructed
is Of the utmost importance, but it Will
soon be settled. Beyond that is the
primary election in August, when men
who are competent to lead and who
can attract voters to the party standard
are to be nominated for state offices,
for the Legislature, for the supreme
court, for congress, and for district
and county offices. The men to be
nominated in August are not to be Sc
lected by any faction or division OF the
party, else they cannot be elected in
November. However republicans may
be divided now they should be careful
not 10 create trouble within the party
ranks that cannot be Immediately over
come after the state convention in
April. The democrats are divided and
thousands Of them have been estranged
from their party. There is serious
doubt whether the democratic ranks
can be united during the campaign.
There is little doubt that the repub-
! licans will win the state campaign il no
serious division is created now. Con
servatism, therefore, is the duty Of the
hour among republicans. Il is the
only sane policy. Give to every re-
! publican tho right Of private opinion,
and, as far as possible, the opportunity
10 express it. Men who lose their
heads now and give way TO passion will
gain nothing in the end. Such men
are not safe leaders. The game Of
politics is dangerous to the man who
plays it in bad mood. A Temporary
gain may, in reality, be a permanent
loss. Let's keep sweet and keep busy
and keep an open eye on the fls'
Tuesday in November.
