CRUELTY TO CATTLE.
Topeka Capital

lIOpeka CaplCal.
The subject of cruelty to cattle up
on the plains while being transported te
the markets of the east, and in the
stock yards, has been agitated great
deal Of late by the American Humane
Association, the president Of which
has recently presented lecture data
relating to it. He claims that prom
inent person, not named, told him that
of the 10000 men around the stock
yards at Chicago, at least 1000, in
their barbarity toward the animals
under their charge and control, were
little better than murderers, and pos
sessing the instincts that, under slight
provocation, would lead them to be
such.
A similar state of things, he said,
existed along the railroad lines, and
with this many are acquainted from
observation. Cattle and swine packed
in cars are tortured with ''prods, .
often having eyes torn from their
sockets by the brutal drivers. They
are in some cases, if not generally,
kept from water twenty-four to thirty
six hours, or longer, meanwhile sup
piled with salt and at last allowed to
drink their fill to increase weig ht, 100
pounds being often thus added to the
avordupois of single steer. The
consequence Of all this is that large
proportion, sometimes amounting to
nine-tenths Of the beef consumed in
the great cities is ''not meat but fever. "
The loss consequent upon overcrowding
the cars is said to be $40, 900, 900 per
year in the United States.
It is wonderful that more cattle are
not lost in the west, where stock is ex-
posed to the occasional 25 to As de-
grees below zero severity, incident to
that climate, and the winter billiards
which sweep the plains with terrific
snow and sleet, leaving deposit two
feet deep, frequently coated with hard
crust over wide areas, and rendering
water courses and even railroad tanks
solid masses of ice. On the ranges in
the southwestern part of the State, the
northern part of the Indian Territory
and the Panhandle of Texas, thousands
of cattle persisted during the late cold
snap, and yet the wonder is not that the
loss was great, but that it was not great
er. Special dispatches to the Chicago
Tribune, from hundred points, repre-
resent "a loss during the fearful storms
of the first half of February in the
principal stock regions of Colorado,
Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming, Montana,
Utah and Idaho of over $4,000, 900,
though definite information cannot be
obtained previous to the spring round
up. 1t was fortunate thing that the
past winter was so mild one, otherwise
the slaughter would have been much
greater than it was.
Details of the suffering enduring by
the cattle upon the great northern
plains are narrowing One report says
that along the l, O3O miles of the Union
Pacific, thousands of cattle are seen

"SectiOnalism to be Intensified"

This is the cry OF the local rcpub-
lican press Of this district as OF the
North generally. And what Is the
cause OF this rallying cry9 Why the
election Of Carlisle, Unionist all
through the war ~ Speaker OF the
House OF Representatives This Is
to be the hope Of the republican
party in the coming campaign, ind
the reason why the press alluded to,
is to ask the people to forget the is
sues which involve all their most
sacred rights and tho perpetuity Of
our institutions I'M. such form as TO
give labor the protection that the
founders OF the government thought
to secure to II against the cncroach-
mcnts Of organized capital. TO list
On to the idle talk CT these papers
one would almost think that Carlisle
instead OF havingf been Unionist,
had served in the Confederate army
with Riddelbergcr. and Malone and
Longstrcet, and Mosby, the land
pirate, who holds q consulship by
appointment Of q republican presi-
dent, and Wharton, and Pitliin and
Bloomfield, and Beattie OF La, and
Tom Ochiltree, a representative from
Texas. who fought all through the
war in the confederate army, and
now with the others named, every
one OF whom served in the confcdcr-
ate army and who are the true type
osrepublican leadership in the South.
All the republican leaders in the re-
mote South are cx.rebcls OF tho
worst kind, and republican papers
about US. while endorsing and aflili-
ating with them expect to lead the
people OF this district away flcm 4

questions because forsooth n Ken
tuckian who was not rebel, is

On to these pet institutions,

A portion OF the democratic and
also OF the republican press seems
to be very sensitive because OF the
condemnation OF the sentence of
sergeant Mason. They seem to be
ob,ivious OF the fact that tho CON-
plant Is against tho tribunal that
tried him and not that Mason should
escape punishment. Mason In guard
ing Guiteau was simply a civilian
a court bailiff- and not II soldier.
He should have been tried by a civil
instead Of a military court, and its
sentence should have been.cxecuted.
Hancock, late democratic candidate
for president. presiding at Mason's
trial, was n traitor to democratic
principle, and Arthur in approving
the finding OF military court In
time OF peace was carrying out old
federal notions OF government and
repudiating every principle and
right OF republican government
The tender-foots had better gnaw
away ut these facts awhile.

A wild scheme OF imitation Is con.
cea.ed In tho recommendation OF
President Arthur and Secretary Fol.
ger, asking that national banks be
allowed to increase their circulation
to 90 per cent OF the market value Oh
their bonds. The banks would only
have to bid in the open market fol
bonds and advance premium OF 4o0
or even 500 per cent on the face OF
the bonds to have the desired in,la-
ton. The national banks now hold
1919 ,4s6,35O In bonds to secure circu-
lation. Increased in the moderate
sum OF 40 per cent Of the inarke,

A ('cM,meM;iahle Fill.

On the 10th of December q bill
was introduced into the lower house
Of congress, by congressman Weller,
which should commend him to the
farmers Of Iowa, OF every politi-
cal organization In the state, remov-
ing the duty from fence wire. and
from all kinds Of unplaned lumber.
This was tho stock III trade Of demo-
Gratis during the late campaign in
Iowa. Section two OF the bill ia,or-
porates the principle Of protecting
American industry by leaving 4 tax
upon the dressed or plaaed lumber.
which is simply tax upon the labor
that planes the material, and to tina,
extent protects the labor Of our own
citizens. Below Is the bill in full.
Be 1t enacted by the Senate and
House OF Representatives OF the
United States OF America in congress
assembled, That the following NAM
ed articles when imported into the
United States shall be exempt from
duty: All timber OF pine. spruce,
hemloek, tamarack, oak, chestnut,
sycamore, white-wood, or Eastwood,
either manufactured or sawed or
hewn into boards. plank, or scant-
ling, and not planned OF finished /,
slaves Of wood Of all kinds pickets
and palings. laths. shingles; clap.
boards: casks and barrels. and box.
shocks: also all manufactured barb.
Ell fence wire OF iron or steel.
SEe. ,, That boards, plank, and
scantling OF any of the kinds eaum-
Grated in section one, when planned or
finished, shall, when imported, pay
the following rates Of duty. and no
more: For each side planned or
finished, fifty cents per thousant.
feet, board measure: ii planned on one
side and tongued and grooved, one
dollar per thousand feet, board
measure; and IL planned on two sides
and tonguea and crooved, one dol
lar and fifty cents per one thousand
feet, board measure.
Democratic and republican papers
OF the district should watch and re.
port how their rartizans vote on
this important measure, aye and il
they were in earnest in the late cam.
paign, should try and induce their
representatives TO give the measure
their support.
