WHY Cattle Men Make Money.

A good sized steer when ready for the
market will bring from $50 to $50. The
same animal at its birth was worth but SIS.
He has run upon the plains and cropped
the grass from the public domain for four
years, and now, with scarcely any expense
to the owner, he is worth $50. more than
when he started on his pilgrimage. A thou
sand Of these animals are kept nearly as
cheap Is the single one; SO with thousand
as starter, and with an investment in the
start, in four years the stock grower has
made 100000 to $s5,ooo. Allow 5000
for his current expenses, and he still has
left $4,000 and even $4,000 for . net
profit. This is all there is to the problem.
And this is why cattle men grow rich.-

Merece ser conocido ell juicio
que del actual Presidente del
Consejo de Ministries, Sr. Cano-
vas, hace un peri6dico de tanta
autoridad, de tanta signifcacion
como es ell MomiteUr deS Con-

extranos debieran aprender los
propios a hacer un POGO mas de
Iusticia a nuestras eminencias po-

Asi Sc expresa aquel importan-
te peri6dico, segun copiamos de

"Europa ensera conoce la historic
del actual presidente del Conseio del
Rey don Alfonso XII.
Sc debe a 81 mismo todo 10 que es y

aquella epoca, que formaron en- 1856 la
"Uni6n LIBERAL" cuyo jefe fus Ell gene
raj O'Donnell, forman Ell partido con-
servador y reconocen todos al Sr. Ca
novas del Castillo como su leader.
Dicho sefior ha fun 1ado Ell partido
mas serio de la Peninsula, ell partido
liberal conservador. Tiene este por
eredo la Constitution de 1879, en- la
que ha conseguido acomcdar ell pro-

esta raz6n, no es solo Rey por derecho
divine, sino por la voluntad nacional.
Don Alfonso de Borb6n es, segin una

He adui varios parrafos de un
editorial del colega:

men sano de las reformas Or9OenteS;
ella, qut yenia como IN derecho legiti-
mo al Due va tiene edad para juzgar de
las cosas; ella, que representaba Ell
progreso, Sc male6 en- nuestro china.
No es de este momento examinar las
dlversas causas que tan tristes efectos
produjeron. Pero podemos estar Sc
guros de que, & no ser este el pueblo
mas sensato del mundo, Sc habrian re-
cogido muy venenosos frutos.
Pero Sc han cosechado amargos. I
en- vez de ser aqui la politica IN ele-
mento de discussion, de estimulo, de
perfeccionamiento, ha sido un elemen-
to de ~.iscordia y de r6mora.
De donde Sc deduce que La polftlca
que aqui Sc ha hecho es la mala y de
ningin modo la buena. No queremos
hacer responsible d nadie: la concien-
cia de cada uno sera ell mejor de los
iueces. Rero los que hayan contribul-
do q esa adulteraci6n de la politica han
cometido un gran de!ito, porque han
preparado la ruina del pals de sus hi

enalteciendo esa profession hasta
ell extreme de compararla al Sa-
cerdocio, y pidiendo Sc lie asigna-
Sc al professor elemental so pe-
SOS, a la profesora 40 pesos y a

Ia moci6n fue combatida por
ell primer teniente de alcalde en-

20 yer ademas a la Corporation
que 81 hubiese sido ell aumento
