The National Live Stock Journal
for December is on our table. 1t is
brim full of interesting matter for
fine stock breeders, containing well
written articles on the management
Of cattle, horses, sheep and hogs.
The Journal is edited by the ablest
and most practical writer's on fine
stock breeding in the United States,
and should be in the hands of every
stock breeder.
a call has been issued for q State
convention of stockmcn, to convene
at Austin, Tex. Feb. II. The object
is to urge such legislation as will
benefit and protect the stock inter
csts Of the State. I'm view of the fact
that the stock interest is the most
important one the State has, it is n
wonder that such action was not
taken long ago. This tardincss may
be partially excusable on the ground
that the Texas Live Stock Journal
is yet a young paper.
The Cheyenne and Araraboe
schools each had their Christmas

made the children of the Mennonite
school happy by giving them innu-
merable presents.

sweetmeats of every description ap-
peared and disappeared with the
greatest OF zest. Then came the
games, and the jolly, romping crowd
had full sway and kept the fun alive
until the time for departure came
and the company broke up. Under
the guidance of their parents the
young reyelers were soon at home
and abed-therc to dream of Santa
Claus and his wonderful team
prancing and dancing while the
busy old fellow was sliding down
and up the chimnoys of the Agency
arranging new surprises when the
sleepy eyes should open in the morn
ing. Among the objects attracting
attention was the Christmas cake
made by Mrs. Putt--a handsomely
iced cake with magic words, MERRY
Chrstmas,' in scarlet letters, the
whole being capped by a pair of
white doves huttering over a nest IN
the center of the cake
Some Complaints have recently
been made by stocl;men on the
Cherokee strip that Indians were
depredating on their cattle. As mat
ters now stand, there is no way of
preventing this trouble. The country
/ belongs to the Cheyennes and Arap-
ahOcs, the Cherokecs having ONLY a
rent right until it is actually occu-
Ipiod by The former tribes. Secretary
/ Schurz told these Indians that their
right to the land was undisputed,
and that they would be protected in
locating on the same. No general
action has been taken by the obey
ennes and Arapahocs to make such
settlement, but a few Indians claim
the land and insist that the cattle
men shoa'd vacate This trouble all
comes from the mixed up condition
of Indian affairs generally. The
president very pertinently remarks
that the policy in the past has been
to get rid of the Indian question in
the easiest and cheapest manner
anything that would answer for the
time. Little or no effort looking to
permanence was made The prcsi-
dent, secretary and commissioner
all seem disposed to do things for
keeps after this, which gives reason
to believe that some decided action
will be taken in the near future.
Now that there is a general disposi-
ton to treat the Indian custom Sc
riously, we suggest that she stock
men meet and draw up a paper set
ting forth the condition Of affairs,
and then bring to bear al the CON
gressional influence they can com
mand. They can, if they will wake
up on the question, bring to bear Il
tremendous influence in congress,
and while doing the Indians no
harm, secure proper protection for
themselves.
