The CONSTITUTION, which is the supreme
law of the land, and which legislators as
well as Judges are sworn to obey, says 'no
attaindcr of treason shall work forfeiture
except during the life of the person at
tan'cd.' 1t also says, nor shall private
property be taken for public use without
just compensation" And yet the Arlington
estate remains in the hands of the Govern

private property, but which the Government
has taken and holds for public use.

that the Generals part is to secure the

BUTCHERS ~MYsTIFIED.

The wholesale butchers of this city
are discussing the shipping of dressed
meat from Chicago to the eastern cities,
but seem to be possessed of very little
information concerning the extent of
the movement, and merely attempt to
guess the names of the persons identi-
fed with 1t. They agree with the state
ments made in a despatch from Chi
cagO to the Times that it will be I'M
possible for the eastern dealers to
handle cattle alive, as in the past, and
undertake to compete with those deal
ing in the dressed article furnished by
Chicago. The bringing of dressed
meat In refrigerator cars from the west
to this city promises, they say, to be a
business of immense proportions. and
already n large refrigerator building
is being constructed on the waterfront
at west Washington market. Western
capitalists have become largely interest
ed and are making preparations for
beginning the business on an extensive
scale. The New York butchers, al
though actively engaged in endeavOr-
ing to discover the intentions of the
companies preparing to stock the mar
ket with dressed meat from Chicago,
have so far secured little information.
One of them said yesterday that he
predicted that within a few years the
killing Of cattle here will be discontin-
ued. and that dressed meat will only be
received from the west. n. Y. Times.
The question naturally arises. Why
should the Wyoming drive be carried
to Chicago alive, when the above des-
cribed situation is brought about ? If
it will be impossible for eastern dealers
to handle cattle alive and compete with
the sellers of meat dressed, Chicago
butchers will find it difficult to compete
with those who kill beeves in Cheyenne
and transport the dressed meat from
here to Chicago. Cbeynzhe can be
made a great centre Tor the collection
and killing Of .eef cattle. The trans
portation " dressed meat to the east
is worthy the attention of those who are
on the look out for a new and profta-
BILE industry in Wyoming. AS has al
ready been pointed out, the loss in
weight which the live cattle now sus
tain will be avoided, the number OF
men required to care for a cargo OF
cattle will be reduced, and the freight
charges greatly diminished, when dress.
ed meat is carried instead of live stock,
