The Blk Heard From

Ranger" John Henry Pierce, the
dead beat, has written a whining letter
to the Omaha Bee about the treatment
he received while here. lie says the
Cheyenne business men refused to pa
tronize him literally, and that they
prefer to spend their money at home.
That is right. Ranger" says the
people abuse newspaper men " from
abroad so o~utrageously, that they steer
clear of Cheyenne. This Is another of
Pierce's lies. Our people do not recog-
nize Pierce as u newspaper man."
Whenever Minor, of the Republican, or
any other respectable representative of
the Omaha press visit Cheyenne, they
are treated rs they deserve. As for
Ranger" Pierce, our people here
would prefer the cholera any time to his
presence. He is regarded all along the
Union Pacific, from Omaha to Ogden
as a gilt edged fraud. We dislike to
advertise the fellow so much, but simp-
ly allude to him as we would to any
other rascal who surprises the public by
the luck which attends him in keeping
out of the p~enitentiary.

The cattle dealers and exporters of
New York think that the war between
the railroad companies and the n
Will result advantageously for New
York. The eyeners, a combination of
cattle men who have controlled the
trade in the west have heretofore been
able to obtain reduced freight rates,
and thus kill off the smaller traders.
They have been able to ship cattle at
$40 to $50 per carload, while the
smaller trader had to pay about S12O
per carload for the same distance. 1t
is said here that the combination has
been in the habit of hurrying live cattle
through to New York in crowded cars
and with inadequate care. The result
has been that a great many of the cattle
brought have arrived in u damaged
condition. This has driven much
trade away from New York; and be-
sides, say the exporters. the combi-
nation have controlled prices to such

afford TO pay more money for perfect
hides, it certainly reflects upon the
dealers who are in the habit of selling
the hides of cattle which have been
branded. In Texas a COW brings about
nine dollars, and a steer about S13. If
a tanner can afford to pay forty or fifty
cents more for hides which are In per-
feet condition, which 1 have no doubt
every tanner in this room would be
willing to do, it certainly reflects upon
this practice of branding by the men
who raise ca~ttle;for it if is worth raising
a steer for S12, and the hides of those
cattle could be sold for half a dollar or
a dollar more without the branding, it
should certainly be an incentive for the
dealer in hides to send them to market
In an unchanged condition. The total
receipts of hides at the port of New
York last year were over 2 500, 900, and
probably a million more hides were

American cattie in Germaux.

H
A Toenning paper says: The public
sale of imported American cattle, which
was held here yesterday, brought out a
great many people, some of them from
Eiderstadt and a great many from
more distant points. The number of
buyers vas so great that all could not
be accommodated at the hotels, and
many were obliged to seek lodging at
private houses. There were for sale 20
steers, 1893 oxen, 76 cows and heifers,
8 springers; total sol head. On an
average the prices realized for the anil
mails we're very high. The best two
steers were sold at 2,l90 marks and
1850 marks, respectively; some others
at 480 to $40 marks. The oxen brought
from 400 to 430 marks, while from 300
to 400 marks and over were paid for
COWS and heifers. The cattle, which at
the close Of the sale were turned over
to the purchasers, were all In excellent
condition. No symptoms Of disease
were to be noticed among the stock
during ten days. quarantine. 1t is
rumored that shortly the export steamer
Schleswig will start on another trip to
America for the purpose of bringing
another cargo of cattle to Toenning.

Aiming at a Duck and Hitting a
GooseI
The LEADER fired a load of duck shot
into the bush at Laramie, aud besides
hitting the Times, at which we aimed,
we were surprised to see that old goose
of a Sun pop up and flutter abolt:with a
broken wing. What in the thunder that
antiquated gosling was doing in COM
pany with a quacking duck, we were at
a loss to understand until this morn
ing's Flicker stated that 1t was a s'ter-
ritorial newspaper" That's why it
was loating up ut Laramie. Now if
the Flicker only attended to the inter-
ests of Cheyenne instead of Laramie,
it wouldn't have got hurt. We would
like to withdraw the ~charge-of No. 8
shot-but we fear it is too late.
So the Flicker is al territorial news
paper" is it? Do tell! Who'd a
thunk it? What a veneering of brains
from the Flicker staff is smeared over
the broad eXpanse of Wyoming !
NOiiuoi L ulctc are ilUl TWO VI luTet
extra films pasted over Laramie? "A
territorial newspaper" indeed Know
all men by these presents that there is
a territorial Colossus, who with one
hoof in the Yellowstone Park and
another in Crow creek, doth bestride
this puny peoplel Greater is he than
the tabled Colossus of Rhodes.
And the Flicker WINS some property,
too. What do you think of that?
Think observes a friend at our
elbow, ''why l think that all the money
he makes off the Cheyenne public in
putting Laramie, he putsinto his pocket.
Skimping at every corner, and employ
ing inferior help, he cheats his few
patrons of a newspaper" and gives
them instead an nk-badaubed handful
of Laramie. If he were less selfish, he
might be more generous to his patrons,
and present them with nice clean paper
suitable for some use, instead of a
blackened and blurred sheet" Amen,
say we.
Will the Flicker be kind enough to
tell us in the morning how its wing is
getting along.

Dealers in hides have often protested
against the custom of branding cattle
on the sides, hips or in other places
where the burning of the skin Is calcu-
lated to iojure the hide seriously, and
at a recent meeting of these gentlemen
in Philadelphia much was said on this
point. Mr.. McNitty said:
II it is actually necessary to brand
the hides of cattle in the west, it seems
to me a system of branding could be
adopted whereby the cattle might be
marked on either side of the neck, for
there the leather is of much less value
than at the butt, where the best part of
the leather is found; or the cattle
might be branded ON the forehead, or
by a mark on the ears, or breast, but
undoubtedly the best remedy would
be to inform dealers in hides that they
could sell them more easily and get a
larger price for them, If they We're free
from brands or other injuries.
Another gentleman remarked that
''The damage occasioned to hides by
branding is not only a loss to the tan.
ner, but to the consumer of leather.
The consumer of leather, when he buys
it as damaged, is under the impression
that he buys 1t at a less price, but a
a great deal of this leather is dear at
any price; consequently, if a western
