ToDlY'S MARKET REPORTS.

Chicago, Jan. 30-wHEAT-Wheate eased
on today owing to the absence Of any
sign that cold weather was injuring tho
winter crop. Larger world shipments
acted also against the bulls. The defeat
Of proposed changes in the Canadian tariff
seemed to have little II any influence on
the market Opening prices varied from
NC decline to a shade advance. After
hardening q trifle. quotations underwent
a moderate setback all around.
News that flour was being exported to
Brazil for the first time In years helped
to check the decline. The close was steady
at Nc to &c net decline.
CORN-Prospects of continued saving OF
feed tended to weaken corn. Demand for
shipment for Chicago appeared to have
entirely ceased. Prices opened shade
OF to h@Ac up. and then showed q dis
position to sag.
Cheap offers at Galveston from Argen-
tine prevented any reaction; the close
was steady. G1xc to 1xc net lower.
OATS-Oats gave way with other grain.
Selling pressure was not especially heavy.
PROVISIONS-Suppor developed for
provisions owing to hog supplies being re-
stricted. First sales were unchanged to
an advance OF I21zc. but the gains failed
to hold.

Wilson dominates his party in con
gress and rules it with an iron hant
i, that he makes it work and holds
his party to the promises OF the
Democratic platform. But he does
no. interfere with the freedom OF
action of the congress. He merely
cumpels it to act. Wilson would
rather that the congress would act
contrary to his ideas than not to act.
Roosevelt on the other hand, tried to
make the legislative branch act his
way or not at all. AS president his
course was comparable to his course
in the Republican convention OF 1872.
wien he insisted that he alone was
the salvation of the Republican party.
There Is NO doubt that there is
grave danger in President Wilson's
domination over the congress. The
danger does not lie in anything that
Woodrow Wilson might do but in the
y, ecedent he sets for some future
strong man who may no. cling so
closely to Democratic ideals and who
may not be actuatel by the lofty
patriotism that guides the president.

WHAT SAINT ALTON CAN DO.

1t was freely predicted, when the
United States troops landed at Vera
Cruz, that as soon at hot weather
c,me, yellow fever or other diseases
would break out. Yet the troops have
already beer subjected to the strain
OF hot, stuffy, stiffling weather eaer.
waiting to degree unknown in any
American city. Yet there has beer
nc unusual disease.
1t is the story of Panama over
again. BY the cleaning up of refuse
Gisinfecting of water supplies, ant
elimination of mosquitoes, ETC., an!
place OH earth can be made whole
some.
Yet while this triumph of science
is being accomplished, in a most un
favorable spot, dealing with the is
ncrant, progressive Mexicans, il
cur intelligent country there will b.
plenty of preventable disease thi
summer.
Many people will come from sum
n.er "otels bearing the germs of ty
phoid. Many children will have scar
.et fever from milk contamination
And all these losses can be avoided
il boards of health will but do thei
dlty, and if the public will cooper
