Craze throughout the year upon the luxuriant and nutritious wild grasses which
sod the landscape Of this entire region. None of the desertland for which New
Mexico lis famed exists in the Black range Here the grams grass waves in the
gentle breezes between the dashing streams of crystal waters No rigorous
winter weather necessnaes the expense of shelter and no sulry summer days
detract from the value of the meat marketed. The peculiar Typography of the
country permit of both sheep and cattle occupying this territory without the
usual conflict bred by their coniguity. The range is fast being claimed and
stocked but there are many good ranches still to had.

The majority in the House have made
every concession that honest and faith.

effort to pass the apportionment laws.
They have even gone further in the
spirit OF compromise and conciliation

visions of the Constitution. But the

mander of representation made ten

opposes the manly alternative of appor
tionment or general resignation and
submission to the sovereign will of the
people. In making this challenge the
majority of the House have shown a
generous confidence in the people and
an honest faith in the justice OF their
cause. In such an issue, involving the
just rights of representation and the
integrity of the Constitution, the people
of Pennsylvania could not reject these
representatives without betraying them.

The Difference.

The constitution OF Pennsylvania re.
quires in positive and unmistakable
terms that an apportionment Of the
state into congressional, legislative and
judicial districts be made. Nobody
disputes this fact
1t was with due and proper regard for
the obligations of the constitution that
Governor Pattison called the present
special session of the legislature.
In response to this call what have the
two houses done outside of the passage
of judicial apportionment bill?
The republican senate has done moth.
ing except declare its litimahem in favor
OF the Infamous McCracken gerryman
der. 1t has refused to consider OF trans.
act any other business. For doing this
work it has regularly taken ten dollars
a day for each member and has con.
tinued the special session at cost OF
three thousand dollars day to the
state.
What has the house done? 1t has
passed one bill after the other and
made one concession after the other in
an honest endeayor to carry out the
provisions Of the constitution. 1t has
made every effort possible to meet the
republicans on fair grounds and to Sc
cure apportionments. even going so far
as to adopt republican apPortionment
bills. But at every step it has been
met by the refusal Of the republican
senate to legislate.
There may be no apportionments, but
the democratic house will have the
satisfaction Of knowing that it has
worked sincerely and with fairness and
liberality. The senate has not. This
is the difference between the two houses

Mr.. Magee's instrument.

The fact that the nomination of Liy.
sey for State treasurer was chiefly the
work of dextrous Chris Magee has had
no oinconsiderable influence in deterring
some OF those independents who were
in arms against General Beaver, from
giving the republican ticket this year
the assurances of the active support
that has been expected OF them by tho
party managers.
Charles S. Wolfes bold declaration
against Livsey will be found in the pro-
gress of the campaign to voice the sen.
timents Of not "a few republicans who
are not at all anxious to see the old
state treasury ring continued in power.
Mr.. Livsey is tho direct lineal rep.
resentative of that ring. Originally the
cashier OF Mr.. Magees bank in Pitts.
burg, be was placed in the state treas.
urer's office, under that inotiensive old
man, "Farmern Butler, as chief clerk,
at the dictation of Magee. He has
been the real working power in that
Office during the last three or four
years, and he mas never ceased to be.
friend the interests OF the man who put
him there.
Tho funding of the states surplus OF
nearly two millions OF dollars in United
States bonds is an operation which Mr..
Magee, whose bank now holds very
large proportion of those funds, is nat.
urally anxious to retard as much as
possible. If Mr.. Livscy should become
the nominal as well as the virtual head
of the Office he will be expected to take
particular pains that Mr.. Magee's bank
shall retain custody OF it's share Of the
funds 80 long as the Humcs law can be
prevented from being consummated.
II is such an instance as this that
Mr.. Livscy can become very scrylceable

The OatlOOk.

The Stalwart State ticket nominated
few weeks ago, is not commanding
the confidence and support of the lie
publican party that was so confidently
asserted would follow its nomination.
Several little obstacles have turned up
TO obstruct the way to tho victory which
Chairman Cooper proclaimed would
perch on the banners Of the reunited
party. In the first place, the party is
not reunited on the ticket which begins
10 drag with an ominous hcayiness. The
selection Of a bloody Englishman,
and of trimmer-whose standing in
last years contest Is not yet definitely
ascertained-as standard bearers, turns
out to be weak. But the greatest blum
der was the forcing on the party Of
Senator Cooper as chairman, for the
purpose of giving him strength for his
battle next year for Senator. The op.
position TO this programme, by some Of
the most Sialwart, as we'll as all the In.
dependents. was anything but rcassur
ing. In addition to these troubles, no
res ponse has been heard from the sin
cere Independents Of last year, all Of
whom, excepting Stcwart-who early
last winter reaped deserved contempt
for his trucculence to the Stalwart ring
- have remained quiet, and are con
tirmed in their belief that Cameron
will be in next years contest for the
Presidency and Senatorship. 1t tispretty
we'll understood that the Slalwart boss
"a have been trying hard to get some
kind Of public enforcement Of the
ticket from the Independent orFaniza
ton Of last year, but 50 far, without
success, as the independents propose
that the ticket shall get for itself only
the kind of ratification that Cooper
and his Stalwart workers can give il.
Then to crown ALL the ticket nominated
by the Democrats Is composed Of such
superior men that all good citizens, Re
publicans and Democrats, feel that the
change in tho management of the
Treasury OF the State would be 30 ben
eficial by their election, that positive
torpor exists in the Republican ranks,
which is in strong contrast TO the en-.
thusiasm manifested everywhere among
Democrats. Altogether, it now looks
that if Democrats give a little attention
to their cause, the repaired" Stalwart
machine will be completely smashed

They VIII Not Resign.

The hppant reception of the House
resolution that the members sign in a
body, by the majority in the Senate is
only another conspicuous betrayal OF
the spirit which has actuated that ma
jority from the beginning Of this ap.
portionment conflict. Senator Cooper
moved to amend the resolution by
striking out the word Senate" so that
it would apply only to the House, and
then, as if this were not sufficiently
witty, he added the suggestion that the
resolution apply "only to the Admins.
tration members Of the House. An
other Senator objected to resigning, as
it would involve him in several hundred
dollars Of expenses TO be elected again.
When the enemies of apportionment
supposed they had covered the House
resolution with enough ridicule it was
consigned to the Committee on Appro-
priations. But, with all their show Of

were at first supposed to have pcrished,

reports of loss Of life and property, and
il is thought at Batavia that the esti.
mate Of $4,000 killed will not prove ex.
cessive. On the lowlands of Batavia,
where the waters have receded and
