Can Animals ReaSOng
From the Los Angeles Herald

From the Los Angeles Herald.
The question, "Can animals reason?" has
often been asserted in the affirmative as often
denied. and Is yet unsettled. There seems to be
little doubt, however, that the most intelligent
animals do possess some reasoning powers, and
not few remarkable incidents have been re-
lated of the sagacity of some of the domestic
animals we'll known gentleman of this CITY
gives the following account of the cunning
strategy of puppy to obtain good dinner at
the expense of a party of cats. The cats con-
sisted OF O mother with family of four sturdy
kits. all possessing to an unusual degree of
ferccness an intense antpathy for the canine
race. The cats are regularly given substantial
meal of meat and other appetizing viands, to
which. it is needless to say, puppy is not an in
Ylted guest. Any approaches on his part were
warned OIL with savage grOwls and a liberal dis
play OF claws-so for time the poor dog looked
on and enjoyed q sort of Barmicida feast But.
when the other day the cats had finer dinner
than customary, puppy carefully considered the
matter and determined to make bold move
and secure his share of the coveted victuals Ac-
cordingly he approached to safe distance and
then executed, with great rapidity, flank move
ment upon the enemy, and backing suddenly in
among the surprised cats, seized portion of
the meat and, as only his rear end was presented
TO the foe made Off with the spells without serious
damage Twice pup repeated the operation,
anu. although the somewhat demOraiZed cats
made vigorous attack upon him, his strategy
saved him. Thus he secured a good meal by his
Ingenuity. and the cats no longer object to his
company during meal hours.

lican forces True, the term Republican
forces includes many men outside of strict
party lines-a class of solid, independent
voters, whose ballots are thrown in the direc-
of the country. They are beyond the reach
of the adroit Democratic politician or the
duplicity of his platform. With the Repub-
licans all in line as they will be, reinforced
by this valuable auxiliary, and an aggressive,
heroic campaign, there is but little danger of
the control of the country passing into the
hands of party that has been so often re-
jected and rebuked at the polls for its bad
record in the past and its lack of principle
for the future

A healthy rivalry between States in this mat
ter will be a good thing.
The Courier-J Journal touches tender spot
when it turns to the last census and shows
that in Indiana there are 70, OOS persons una
BILE to read, and 11O76l unable to write, the
former being 4.8 of the population, and the
latter rs. In Kentucky the same table
shows that there are 25S, 1856 persons who can
not read, and 34S, 1872 who cannot write, the
respective per cents being 22.2 and 299. In
the list of States and Territories, Indiana
occupies the sixteenth position from the top
on the first score, Kentucky stands thirty
fourth. On the second Indiana is twenty
fourth and Kentucky thirty-sixth. In Indiana
there is one illiterate person in sixteen. In
Kentucky, one out of each four can neither
read nor write. 1t is but fair to admit that
Kentucky's bad showing arises largely
from the illiteracy of those who
were but recently slaves. But the
figures are an argument in behalf of the
needs of the people. The temptation of the
government to go to the aid of States in
which so much illiteracy exists is a strong
one, but other reasons will doubtless inter-
pose to prevent such a movement AS rule
citizens are valuable in the same ratio that
they are educated. The refining influence
of education will be admitted without argu-
ment 1t is no answer to retort with taunts
of similar condition OF things. The plain
duty of the several States is to give the youth

A DECISION has been rendered by the
United States Court at Cheyenne that will be
Endorsed almost without dissent. The Land
Office at Washington had taken the stand
that stockmen had no right to fence public
domain for grazing purposes and now the
position thus taken is confirmed. The pres
ent evils arising from large tracts of fenced
lands are small compared with what would
ter of completing title shall come to issue.
Cattle raisers in various parts of the West
have fenced in public land by the hundreds
of thousands of acres, and by the unwritten
law of custom have regarded as trespassers
all who dared cross or enter it. 1t is to be
hoped that this decision will put an end 10
this practice. Some plan should be adopted
looking to the entire protection of what
is left of the public domain against
Spectators who have been buying wild land

America for all time to come if the ques-
ton be met now. 1t is not in accordance
with the American idea that any one man
should own land in vast areas to the ex-
clusion or discomfort of the many. 1t GER
tainly would work no injustice if law
were passed now forbidding the acquire
ment by one man of more than 1000
acres More than this would give him
power that no man should
be allowed to hold in America.
1t may be answered that many already hold
land in excess of that area. But that is no
reason why the evil should not be checked
before it extends and becomes too strong for
control. The public land should be kept for
the people, and spectators should be COM

GOVERNOR OvERToN, of the Chickasaw
nation, seems to be very great parsonage IN
his own mind. A collector of internal rev.
enue presumed to invade his dominion in
discharge of his duties, and when he made
known his mission the Governor became
furious and cursed like hoodlum. He de-
clared that the United States had no right to
collect taxes there, and knowing him to be a
bad man from away back, the collector lost
no time in getting away to Leavenworth,
where he communicated the matter to the
government. 1t seems that Oyerton is a
character, having killed his man. and some
say three The probabilities are that the
government will eventually surround him
and induce him to compromise.
