FREEZING BEEF.

An experiment in refrigerating meat
in England lately resulted as follows
" Early in the week the Woodside lie.
frigeratOr was announced as complete
and ready for use. Immediately a mum
Der of critical and tentative experiments
with the machinery commenced, with
the results satisfactory. Thursday how
ever, was set aside as the crucial day.
1t was then that the practical test with
bodies of beef was made. S~iXty-eight
sides which had been in the cooling
rooms from four to ten hours variously
were put into No l chamber, with the
temperature previously reduced to 30
degrees Fahrenheit. The time at which
the bodies were run in from four to
half past six C'slcck in the. morning.
They were taken out at quarter to
three in the afternoon Of the same day.
Interest which had fiuctuated more or
less during the week eliminated at the
latter hour and was literally excitment.
When the door opened there was a rush
to see the result. But the thermometer
stood at 30, which was not the most
inviting temperature even to butchers
and cattle dealers. However. in a short
time a number of hanps were critically
feeling about the beef, and as many
tongues were pronouncing satisfactory
verdicts-more or less. The less soon
subsidized, and a few moments suhiced to
show that the feeling of unmixed salts.
faction was universal" Any expert
ment whatever in freezing meat is of
interest to cattle raisers and shippers.
Killing and freezing may at some flu
ture time be one of Cheyenne's indus
tries.

So far as the slanderous illusions to
cowboys are concerned, Il change of
name would effect nothing-even if ii
were possible to transform the cowboy
into a "cattle herder." But it can not
be done-nOr would we have it done,
The term cowboy means something. II
means that the young man who begins
the business by working for others has
a chance to become a cOwman-hence,
the term, cowboy. The cowboy of
Texas is a representative feature of its
frontier warfare against Indian and
Mexican and of the grand industry
which numbers now its hundreds of
wealthy. useful citizens, cowmen who
were ono cowboys. No, the term COW
boy, is connected too closely with
Texas greatest industry TO he lightly
exchanged because robbers and muir
derers have disguised themselves there.

vent this. If the term cowboy is oppro.

reason-and then the thing can't be did.
When the term cowboy becomes obso-

A reliable gentleman says that last
week he vas down below the Reese
river canon, in Texas, riding quietly
along, when an immense nerd of grass
hoppers darkened the air. Directly he
saw a similar cloud in the shape of a
whirlwind coming from the opposite di-
r%ection. and the two bodies came into
collision of a peculiar violence and with
a roaring sound resembling that of "A
hail and thunder storm mixed. The
dead hoppers poured down like furious
drops and streams Of a genuine cloud
burst, filling the air almost to sufToca-
ton. In less than fifteen minutes they
covered the ground for over u 100 acres
to the depth of from six inches to three
feet. His horse fell twice before he got
beyond the confines of the storm. Pas
sengers on the narrow gauge railroad
report that thousands of crows and
buzzards are gathered at the locality de-
scribed and the scent of the putrefying
hoppers is terrific.

When a conviction OF acquittal in
the star route trials will vary the mo-
notony of the reports of them, no
judge nor juryman can tell. The thread
of their story is lost in a tangle. Bliss,
McSweeney, Merrlck, Shipherd, Walsh
and Kellogg are names representing no
side or part OF any case to the average
newspaper reader. If insolvency
and Walsh would get up a Fenian dy-
Mantle plot; if Kellogg would lecture
on southern elections; if Bliss and Mer-
rick would tell something of Washing
ton and New York politics, the papers
out west would publish their doings.
The lawyers wrangles over route 20, 313,
which may or may not have been Tex
pedited," have no interest to the pub
lie and are past understanding. Such
are the contradictions, explanations,
reflections of testimony and destinations
of presentments in this case, that one
may be pardoned for believing that
neither lawyers nor jurymen can posi-
bly, reach any convictions in it.

A dispatch from Ogden published
yesterday in the LEADER gave Informal
ton of the manner in which the Nor
mon leaders are seeking to dodge the
United States laws. Outwardly they
are obeying them; really they hold them
in contempt. 1t won't do. The peo-
pie have taken the mormon question to
heart; law after law affecting it will be

mormons as polygamists will no longer
be numbered among the inhabitants of
this country when the people are done
