Much interest is manifested at pres
ent among cattle men in the far west.
and especially among cattle growers, as
to the future of the business for a few
months to come. The course of the
trade for the last thirty days has been
closely watched by ranchmen, and many
of them have decided to ship only the
tops of their herds, or, in other words,
only those that are fat, confined gener-
ally to four and five-year olds. This is
the course decided upon by almost all
the large and able firms. This is not
only true of the cattle ranchmen in the
Northwest, but is also true of Texas, if
we can judge at all from the reports of
leading stOckmen from that region.
Wyoming, Colorado and Montana, con-
trary to the expectations of two months
ago, are now likely to ship less this year
than last. Of course should the fall
weather be favorable, and prices later
on equal to or nearly equal to those of
last fall, the gatherings will be contin-
ued and many more shipped than 9TH
erwlse. But such condition of things
is not probable. All feel confident that

would never give his vice president any
chance OF succession, but would keep
himself before the country as the presi-
dent for the full term of four years, even
If he died the day after his Inaugural

Roundups and "Prowling." :"

There is to be no general roundup
here this fall, owing to some hitch i'm ar
rangements. This should not be so, as
it will be the means of disappointing
some of the folks from the more north
ern ranges who may not be prepared for
making general ''prowl." 1t is be-
coming more and more apparent that
the necessity for these roundups is not
so absolute as formerly. The cattle are
thicker on the range, the grass is as
green, the water as scarce, the wheel
bread as wedgey and the delicious SOW
belly still gives of its fatness to the pan;
but the trail of the barbed wire is over
it all. The roundups, however, must
still be kept up i'll some degree, as men
want to see other mems pastures and
how fat their cattle are, and it looks
like discourtesy toward stockmen from
adjacent districts not to have rule of
order in the work and a roundup gov
ernment. Proving" must always be
unsatisfactory to the prowler and the
prowled.-Texas Panhandle.

a good sized steer when it is fit for
the butcher market will bring from for
ty to fifty dollars. The same animal at
its birth was worth but five dollars. He
has run upon the plains and cropped the
grass from the public domain for four
years and will now with scarcely any
expense to his owner be worth forty
dollars more than when he started on
his pilgrimage. \ thousand of these
animals are kept nearly as cheaply as
the single one, so with thousand as a
starter, and with an investment of but
$1,000 in the start, in four years the
stock grower has made from $4,000 to
S45,OO0. Allow 5000 for his current
expenses while he has been going on
and he still has left 49,, 200 and even
$4,000 for net profit. That is all
there is of the problem, and that is why
our cattlemen grew rich.-Denver Jour

Arteslan Wells in Texas.

1t seems to depend on the railroads
to show our western Texas people what
can be done toward obtaining artesian
water. Wherever the railroad compan-
les have found it necessary TO seek ar
tesian water they have found it. 1t is
not because the railroaders have more
money than common folks that they
succeed in finding artesian water, but
because necessity compels them to have
water at certain localities, and the end
will Justify the means necessary to OBJ
tain it. If our stockmen, perforce of
circumstances, or any other way, could
be invested with the same spirit that
actuates railroaders when they set out
to find water, we would have one or
more artesian wells on every ranch.
Not long ago the International railroad
people began to sink an artesian well
at Encinal, south of this city, and we
are now informed that at a depth of six
hundred feet the water flows to the
heighth of two or three feet above the
surface. Inspired ana encouraged by
this success, the people of Pearsall, Frio
county, have taken it into their heads
that they, too, must have an artesian
well, and to this end they have COM
menced taking up subscriptions and are
receiving liberal donations. They, too,
will succeed in locating living spring
i'll the very center of their town, if they
try. The earth beneath us is coursed
by sea of rushing water, and little
trouble and expense will always bring
it to us.-Texas Live Stock Journal.

Priest y, Preachers,


Father Phelan, Catholic priest I'M
st. Louis, and editor of the Watchman
recently gave expression to some strong
language against ProtSufant preachers,
referring to their war against the Sab
bath breakers. He says:
I'VE have another reas IN for object
ing to the interference of the preachers.
They do not know the people, and have
no sympathy with the class for whom
they would legislate. The people who
follow the preachers belong to the bet
ter classes, the well-to-do and well be-
haved. The poor and the criminal
classes are total strangers to them. The
few hundred who listen TO Protestant
sermons on Sunday are people who
can afford the luxury of Puritan SUM-
the men who frequent them are as sep
arated from them in thought and SYM
pathy as the inhabitants Of Stanley's
new empire in Africa. The preachers
have no use for them, and they have no
use for the preachers. 1t looks, then,
like religious snobbery for these preach
ers to legislate for these people. If the
saloon men were 10 rise up in arms
against camp meetings and ice-wster
baptismS, the words, 1T is none of your
business would rise unbidden to ev.
cry ones lips. Only priests come in
contact with the low, the ignorant and
depraved, and only the priest can infiu-
ence them. The church has sympathy
with all men-those sitting on thrones,
and those lying in the cutters. She
knows how to be content with the half
loaf of unstable virtue when she cannot
have the whole bread of sanctity.
Preachers are unconscious tyrants.
They have procruscious observance to
which they would make all men conform
yet they have not facts to convince the
intellect of Child that such observance
pleases anybody but the preachers.
Then the preachers do not know what
they are talking about. If We had il in
our power by one stroke of the pen to
Danish all intoxicants from the world,
we would not do it. If We could de-
stroy all relish for stimulants in the hu-
! man family, SO that all men would be-
come teetotalers by necessity, we would
not do it. Neither would we, had We
the power, compel all men TO hear mass
on Sunday. We have no desire to in
terfere with the work Of GUd by mar.
rowing the bounds of free agency. The
preachers are always trying to rectify
the mistakes of the Almighty

The Pittsburgh Stockman says that it
is worthy of note that the demand for
stockers and feeding cattle is not any
where as great as it was year ago. Es-
pecially is this the case at Chicago,
where strong decline in prices has oc-
Cured In the last few days. The prices
paid for these cattle in the past year
have been higher than the fat cattle
trade warranted, and the realization of
that fact is becoming quite general. OF
course graZiers and feeders aust have
the stock, yet in view of the probable
volume of available supplies they feel
sufficiently independent to prevent them
from investing in what they consider
exhorbitant prices. Should the reduc-
ton in the west continue for any length
of time, and extend eastward, it will
no doubt result in a large increase in
the volume of trade. The farmers of
this portion of the United States are
interested to much greater extent in
this stock than they were few years
ago.
