L~OyELAND'S SPEECH.

Following is the speech made by
Judge w. A. II. Loveland Mt Pueblo,
Thursday last, upon accepting the
nomination for Governor of Colorado:
L do not come forward for the pur-
pose OF making u speech. Speech-mak-
ing, as you know, is not the business /
have followed. l have come forward
merely to express my thanks for the
unanimous nomination you have given
me, and to say that l accept your call
to make the race for governor. To
politics l have given but a secondary
consideration, and take the place you
have named me for from n sense of
duty to the party. Mr.. Patterson, in
his remarks, has gone over the ground
pretty thoroughly, and leaves me but
little to say at the present time. The
people are well satisfied with the strug-
gle Mr.. Patterson has made, and l can
say, being in Washington when the
contest was decided, that eminent at
torneys of both parties admitted the
entire correctness Of his position. Had
he returned without making that fight,
you would not have unanimously nom-
mated him to-day. The varied inter-
ests of the State-mineral, pastoral
and Observation-Disclosures the duties of

realize the difficulties Of this position,
and L accept your nomination with the
difficulties fully in view. There is no
interest Of Colorado to which l shall
not, II elected, give my personal atten-
tion, for the intp' ests of Colorado, and
all of them, are my interests. The term

DEPORTATION OF WESTERN cArrLE.

49, o.
An industry which promised much
beneft to the cattle trade of the plains,
Of shipping live beeves to English mar
kets, seems to be threatened in its in
fancy by the prospective passage of a
parliamentary bill requiring impossible
things of shippers. The trade has de-
veloped into magnificent proportions
within the past year, and the demand
for American beef promised to make
western raisers and dealers quite indie
pendent Of eastern markets. Last year
there were scarcely half a dozen steam
ship companies carrying live cattle on
their vessels, while this year there are
eleven companies, with upwards of six
ty large steamships, engaged in the
carrying trade. One provision of the
obnoxious hill provides that foreign
cattle shall be landed at a specified
wharf, and slaughtered Immediately
upon arrival. The enforcement of such
a law would practically put a stop to
the expectation Of American beeyes,
since no SAINT man would think of ship
ping to n market where immediate and
forced sales would be required, virtu-
ally placing himself at the mercy of
London and Liverpool jobbers. The
margin on sales has never been very
great, owing to the strong competition
met with from the home supply and
shippers from countries not SO remote,
but promised gradually to increase as
facilities for expectation become multi
Piled. systemized and cheapened. This
n provision Of the bill, pending in par
Lament, however, is a blow at the new
and promising industry that cannot be
overcome. 1t amounts to aprohibition
Of the trade altogether, and is a thrust
not only at American shippers, but
English consumers as well, compelling
them to buy at home, which always
happens to be the dearest market. The
law Is contrary to Engiand,s boasted
system Of free trade, bat of course will
be enacted, II at all, under the specious
yelling Of protection against foreign
diseased animals"

r. SCHOOL HOURS.

The question Of the proper length of
school hours, to obtain the best general
results, physical and mental, has been
the subject of much and interesting dis
cussion for many years past. The old
idea that children could not be made
to study too hard, nor kept in school
too long, provided their physical con-
stitutions would bear up under the
strain, has been exploded, and greater
regard Is being paid to the health, rs
well as the brain capabilities Of youth.
In Germany. where education is under
the immediate control OF the state, and
has been reducesd TO a perfect system,
the authorities have recently reduced
the amount of school work. Girls from
ten to sixteen years Of age are limited
to a maximum of thirty hours 10 school
per week, and younger children must
not attend school more than twenty
two hours q week. This rule has been
adopted after close and careful study
Of the physical and mental powers of
the children, and 1t is found to work
charmingly. The strain is not so long
Or severe sas 10 be injurious to mind or
body, and the brain never.t tires SO COM
pletely as to refuse TO act freely. Moth.
ing is so threatening to the brain than
to frequently over-tax and tire it. TIC
this straining are attributed the many
youthful wrecks that we see. 1t Is tsu-
ally the bright boy who suffers. His
brain is active, and his teacher and
parents encourage him to exercise it
too freely and too severely. The con-
sequence is, that often the smart, prom
ising lad degeherates into q dull, stupid
man, with a muddy brain, and no am
bition.
In this country the average school
hours are thirty a week, but only in ex-
~ceytionable instances is any difference
made between the 8 ix.year-old girl and

Hard Times and Temperance.

" Hard times " is the cry all over our land
But we seriously question whether the COM
plant is not made by many who fall far
short of doing what they can to alleviate
hard times in the way of economy, at least
We do not question but that they are eco.
nomical enough in some things.
1t is true they make many things last
longer than they used to but it is because
they are obliged to. Yet they are literally
pinching in some things-in the matter of
buying shoes for their children, for instance
but spend just as literally as ever for rum
and tobacco-things which they would be
better off without, even in the fushest of
times. This is what we cry out against.
The honest economizer seeks first to dis.
card the use of those things which are of
the least account, and the honest economizer
is the man who will bring about prosperous
times once more not he who sacrifices of
the necessaries of life that he may indulge
his animal passions in rum and tobacco
We doubt but little when we state that rum
and tobacco rank foremost with the elements
that are preventing the advent of better
times.
The poorest and most poverty ,stricken OF
men manage to obtain their rum and tobacco
as much as ever Gas statistics in the sale OF
these two things will show) but the sim
plest school-boy knows, if he stops to think
that he does so at the expense of wife and
children, to say nothing of the sacrifice in his
case. Is it not foolish to cry "hard times
when we are literally throwing money away
in rum and tobacco, yes, far worse thar
throwing it away?

An Experiment.

Alcoholic drinks - brandy, wine, beer,
etc.-compare very unfavorably with tea
and coffee as refreshing beverages, while as
foods they have no value. DR.. Park, S,
Professor of Hygiene at the Army Medical
School, Netley, and author of the standard
book on health, not long ago tried expert
ments upon this subject. He sent out
"three intelligent and trustworthy soldiers, p"
dressed as for march, to walk a certain
distance in given time. Upon one day
they had an allowance of rum the next
day one of coffee, and the third day one of
Liebig's extract of meat. When they came
back after each installment of their march,
Dr. Parkes took their temperature, and the
rate of their pulse and at last they were
called upon TO give the evidence of their
sensations after each stimulant There was
perfect agreement between the three men as
to the relative value of the articles. First
they all placed the extract of meat, saying
that after il they felt as though they had
had meal; next they approved of the cot
fee, although DIR, Parkes thought he gave it
to them in too small quantities. Finally,
their testimony about the spirit was that it
gave them "a squirt TO begin WITH" but
after they had gone about mile and half
they felt worse than they did before they
had it. The coffee and meat extract did
not produce this after-fatigue. This care,
fully made experiment alone might also set
tie the question as to the permanent reviy-
ing influence OF alcohol.

more, and farms which between 1864 and
1872 could not have been bought for less
than $50 per acre, are now seeking buyers
at half these figures. The French econo-
mists, and especially those who have given
attention to the agricultural side Of the sub
ject, have always looked upon the mortgag-
ing of farming lands at high rate OF inter-
est, as great calamity for that country,
and it is possible this commonwealth may
have to regret that the very exceptional ag-
ricultural capacity of its soil offered such
opportunities for usurers and loan agents.
II is not worth while for us to make this
article longer. What is true of Indiana and
Illinois is still more true of Iowa, Wisconsin,
Kansas Minnesota, and in fact all the great
Western food-producing states. Ohio, New
York and the central states are at least as
bad as New England, and the South is as
bad as it can be.
We know very well that we make ourself
odious to class of influential men by our
writing on these questions. We have had
unmistakable and repeated evidence of that
fact. But it is a question Of most vital con-
sequence to millions, which the leading
writers of the country do not understand,
or dare not touch. We hear much of re.
turning prosperity, based principally upon
our great expectations of farm products
We believe behind all this is an impending
danger of most portentous consequence
no less than general overthrow of our ag
ricultural industry, and remodelling Of oul
land tenure upon that of Europe. We hope
we are mistaken in all this, but believing
as we do, we were recreant to every feeling
of duty did we not sound the alarm.

The Murderer Of Millions.

From the days when the monk leaped
down into the arena at Rome and forbade
the combat of the gladators, and so put an
end entirely to the brutal custom by which
they were butchered TO make Roman hol-
day from that day through all the long
centuries since, in every condition, the com
mon lessons of Christianity have inspired
some hearts with that feeling of pity which
has impelled men never to rest until they
have secured the rights of those who were
wronged and oppressed among their fellow
men. But we have now to fight difficulty
and danger which in some respects is more
formidable than any which have gone before
it. We have TO resist a deadlier servitude
TO more irresistible evil than any with
which previous generations have had TO
combat. II is comparatively easy to combat
"A vice, but IL is by no means so easy 10 drag
