WASHINGTON, Sept. 2O.-The Washington dele
gates to the coloTed convention to meet at Louis
vile, leave here on Saturday. They will be at
tened by quite a party from this city, who in
tend to work for Douglass as chairman of the
convention, and for Professor Gregory as secre-
tary. The Maryland delegates will, it is stated,
vote for T. L. Fortune, the New York editor of
the Globe, chairman, and Fortune will have
considerable strength from other sections The
twenty-five delegates from South Carolina are
reported to favor Douglass, and it is thought
here that he will be chairman.
The Republican will publish tomorrow an in
tervlew with Fred. Douglass. in which he says
he regards the mission of the convention as
chiefly moral, and, so Tar as Its utterances are
concerned, a means towards securing better
unders anding between the colored people and
their fellow-citizens generally. He thinks the
representative body. Its objects, he is quoted
as saying, are TO take into consideration the gem
epl condition of the coored people OF this
country, especially the condition of labor in the
South, the compensation it receives, the educa-
tional interest of the colored race, their civil
rights, and last, but not least the importance OF
securing their political rights, which are now
considered stricken down. With respect
to the political significance of the convention he
ls reported as saying that the convention has
no political object in so far as political parties
are concerned. tt is not impossible, however,

will have something say about the reimburse

be strange, either, if they
should ask for large recognition in matters of

they will make upon the parties will be for alb

tutional right to vote. They may consider that

Training Horses.

Cleveland Herald.
Except for breeding purposes, cattle sheep
and hogs are sold by weight for a value de-
termned by the human food they represent.
But with the horse the case is different, for
his worth is dependent upon style, action and
general purposes. Viewed in this light it
would seem that farmers do not realize as
much as they might from the sale of their
young horses were different course pursued.

the city buyers, and after few weeks fitting
it is again sold, often for double the original

A BEEF STEw.-A nice way to cook piece
of the round of beef is to line a saucepan
with thin slices of bacon, then lay the beef
in. Cover it with water. Cover the sauce

A CATTLE KINGS VIEWS.
Some New ideas Stock Raising in tine
Western Territories.

Western Territories
st. Louis Globe Democrat.
Mr. j. l.. Drseoll, the cattle king of Texas is
in town. His tall form doomed up in the corri-
doris of the Planters House last night Globe
Democrat reporter approached him. He was
asked his opinion as 10 a probable rise in the
price of beef this winter.
''In the fall and winter our business is dull,
and do not anticipate any increase In prices.
There is a. healthful demand which offsets any
such supp0stiOn."
''What is the state of trade at PRESENT."
Excellent. The business of raising cattle is
assuming large proportions in many of the terri
tories. This is notably the case in Montana, In
dian Territory, Idaho and Wyoming. Colorado,
too is coming in for her share. Texas is getting
played out The business is overrun there, and
the farming interests, which are fast springing
up, demand a large amount of surplus ground.
In the southern extremity of the Black Hills va
rious ranches have been started. The meadows
are capable of producing tons of hay the water
is pure and cool, aud wood for fuel and building
is plentiful"
IFS cattle raising so profitable as it is reported
to bef'
.The profits now are smaller than ever before
Where used TO make so and 100 per cent. we
no W receive 20 and % per cent. Cattle raising
is run on business basis and not on mere luck
There used TO be a time that the youth of the
East would he advised to seek the pastoral re-
gions of the West, where stock are supposed to
be able TO take care of themselves. The profits
of cat tie raising represented to them as
enormous and, enticed by the prospect of
wealth aud plenty, they congregated. Unfor-
tunately, the uninitiated omit the unknown fac
cussedness of the animals. which gives a heap of
trouble. The chances for prosperous business
are not 40 fiat1efing when you come TO expe-
rience the disadvantages. Tue business has not
been uniformly successful; in fact, has only been
successful in few instances"
''WEaJ are the reasons for this2'
''Wel, they secret. The greatest draw
back is the rgor of the weather, and sometimes
thousands of cattle ars lost during the winter
by being frozen death. You can say for the
benefit of those who want TO engage in cattle
breeding, that it takes great deal of expert
ence, and that money alone is not the talisman
to success"
Mr.. Driscoll also said that sheep raising has
become one of the great enterprises of the West.
There nearly three quarters of a million
sheep in the Territories. Pne limited area of the
land, however, on ranches away from the main
streams, is a drawback. A few years ago many
stock companies for handing sheep were
formed, but they soon reti red again on their eX-
perience The business of herdng sheen is the
most monOtonUus known, and therefore few
herders can be fond wiling TO sacrifice their
existence if they can obtain work at anything
else.
