The president s friends have been very
anxious to have the Rev. Henry Ward
Beecher go to the national convention
in order to make the nominating speech
and plan has been proposed by which
it was thought he could be be given a
seat. The idea was to have one of the
delegates and his alternate decline and
Mr.. Beecher appointed as substitute
This was the method by which Mr.. Levi
z. Morton obtained seat in the con-
vention four years ago, but a study of
the call of the national committee dis
closes difficulties in the way of carrying
it out this year, as it requires all dele
gates to be elected by state or district
conventions thirty days before the meet
ing of the national convention and pro-
vides no method of filling vacancies. 1t
is the Opinion of several members of the
national committee that neither the
congressional district committee, nor
the state committee, nor even the ma
tional committee itself, have the power
to fill vacancy occurring from any
cause whatever, except by the unani-
nous consent of the convention.

Kansas not a Sanitarium.

Atchison Champion 1t is a painful
task for Kansas newspaper to admit
that any good thing said about Kansas
is untrue, but truth must be told though
the heavens come down on the run.
Zion's Herald, a religious paper pub
lished in Boston, speaks of Kansas as a
''sanitarium for drunkalds." Presum-
ing that the word sanitarium is used as
describing the climate of Kansas as af-
fecting the health of drunkards, we are
bOuQd to say that the climate is the
worst possible for drunkards, and that
there is no country where whisky gets
its work in with more certainty and eel
erity than Kansas.
Kansas is, for the most part, high
dry country, and the air is charged with
electricity in other words, Kansas is
lust lightning" In such a climate
whiskey operates directly on the nerv-
Gus system and the brain. The electric
ity in the air, operating in connection
with the bottled lightning on the inside
of the sufferer, soon destroys him.
To those who are bound to test the
continuous effects of alcohol on the sys-
tenn we would say, "Do not come to
Kansas" The question has, by a series
of long and carefully conducted series
of experiments by Kansas citizens and
residents, been perfectly settled. Lon
gevity and ardent spirits in Kansas
have positively refused to come to an
understanding.
What is true of Kansas is true of the
whole high plateau west of the Missouri
to the Rocky Mountains, and even OF
the high table lands of Mexico. The
higher man is above the level of the
sea, the more careful he should be not
to raise his own exaltitude. A neglect
of this precaution means death to the
careless, and frequently to several other
gentlemen in his neighborhood The
murderous disposition of the cowboy OF
the northern plains, and the greaser oi
the southern, is the result of the opera
tion on dry and nervous frame of the
beverage called in the poetic language
of the section, "tarantler juice"
We have no doubt of the purity of the
motives of ZiOn's Herald, but paper
with such a name can hardly be consid
cred expert authority on a practica
question of climatology taken in con
nection with alcoholism, and if the
statement by Zion's Herald should lead
to the migration to this state of an,
considerable number of New England
drunkards, under the impression thai
their lives and drinks were to be pro
longed by the climate of Kansas, grea
mistake would be committed.

Wichita Beacon: Fred. Grant says
he went from Chicago something over a
year ago with a fortune, all told, of
S57 900. When Grant & Ward failed he
had $500, 900 to his credit in the bank.
Gen. Grant, about two years ago, put in
500, 900 in the company, and on the fail
ure he thought he had S2,7OO.OOO. And
yet these men are held guiltless Dy the
sentimentalists of the country, while
poor Ward, like a scape-goat, loaded
down with guilt is sent out into the
wilderness. The Grants, after the fail
ure, are not business men before the
failure they were old biz, itself. Gen
eral Grant was placed at the head, as a
decOy, perhaps, of every big scheme,
and new to relieve him from all actual
completely in, and moral responsibility
for, the transactions of his firm, his
friends plead the idiot act and insist
that he is an old fool, incapable of TAX
ing care of himself; and his sons are
considered chips of the old stump.

Dodge City Globe The horse mark
ct at this place, owing to the rain and
stormy weather, has not been very brisk
yet quite number changed hands dur
ing the latter part of the week, leaving
number of buyers unsupplied. The
number of stock has been considerably
augmented by the arrival of additional
through herds of both saddle and stock
horses.
The Ford County Land and Cattle Co.
received their fine stallion that Mr..
Bugbee bought at Kansas City some
days ago. He is what is commonly
known as English Coach or Cleveland
Bay. He was formerly the property of
s. w. Papst, Town of GoodwicS, Onta-
rio, Canada, who imported the horse
and brought him to this city. He is a
fine animal, has good movement and
perfect beauty.
Texas drovers are beginning to dodge
out of Texas enroute for Dodge City
where they expect to intercept their
through herds. Quite a number of these
distinguished individuals have already
made their appearance, and cow talk is
freely INDUCED in. Our merchants are
kept extremely busy supplying ranch
and trail men. Everything in and about
the burg is life and activity, which in
dicates that the cow business is in a
healthy condition.

Galvanized barbed-wire fence does not
cost half as much as one of pine boards.
The relative expense is thus estimated:
a ton of barbed wire can now be bought
for $50, and will make four-wire fence
240 rods long, costing so cents rod. A
four-board fence six inches wide, at Sl5
per 600 feet, costs So cents per rod. The
wire fence only requires half as many
cedar posts as the board fence and no
nails, both considerable items. The
wire will Outlast the pine boards, and is
not blown over by the winds, and the
snow doesn't drift against it, and cattle
and horses don't rub against it, jump
over it or try to mash it, and boys don't
climb over it and kick off boards, and
the boards don't get loose from the nails
and leave breach in the fence for stock
to jump over. The distance around
forty acres of land is 800 rods, and with
boards will cost something over 1892 for
lumber and nails, while for wire it will
only cost SS6, besides saving half the
expense for posts.

Regulating" Texas Fever

Among the amendments to the AMI
mall Industry bill adopted at the in
stance of its opponents was one except
ing the so-called Texas fever from the
operations of the act, so far as the trans
portation of cattle is concerned. We
will not undertake to say that the ac-
tion which might have been permitted
under the original bill with reference to
this disease would have been the wisest
and best the nature of the disease and
the great interests to be affected could
have secured. Nevertheless we think
its exclusion from the operation of the
act mistake and that time will so
show it. 1t is, in fact, one of the most
important questions with the care of
which a Bureau of Animal Industry
should be charged. Its nature is so inn
perfectly understood. and so little is
known of the conditions under which it
is generated, that it should be made the
subject of continued investigation until
something more definite is known con-
corning the manner of its propagation.
The term Texas fever is a misnomer,
since Texas is not the only state where
it exists naturally. 1t can better be
termed lowlaDd fever, and is naturally
at home all along the eastern and south
ern border, from the city of Washing
ton south and southwest, the area wild
ening towards the south and west. The
cattle within this area do not seem to
suffer greatly from it tbut possibly it
may affect more or less their general
thrift but appear to impart the disease
in virulent form to the cattle raised
outside the limits above described. And
not only is the disease thus communica-
also infected so that they will impart
the disease to other cattle brought upon
them. The extreme cold of the north
ern winters is such as to destroy the
germs of the disease planted in northern
pastures, so that grass lands affected in
the summer or fall may again be safely
used the following season. But the best
authorities seem inclined to believe that
the area of permanent disease is gradu-
ally widening and extending northwmd
the germs of the disease gradually be-
coming acclimated, and that ultimately
the grass lands of the whole country
may become permanently infected. But
cattle from the infected areas do not al
ways impart the disease to other cattle
when brought outside. and do not al
ways infect the grass lands upon which

1t is stated that w. j. Wilson, of
Denver, has sold his Circle ranch to
English capitalists for $4,000. The
ranch is located about 200 miles from
Denver, portion of it being in Colora-

Kansas. The range is Of a superior
character, the grasses being buffalo gra-
ma and blue stem, the three most nutri-
tious grasses grown on the plains. 1t is

Of cattle, and comprises 1900, 900 acres.
OF the herd there are $500 bead of cat

Rcmenyi Plays His Farewell

In the Plymouth Congregationalist
church, in Brooklyn, last Sunday was
Remenyi, the violinist. lie had his vi
Olin with him, and Nh. Beecher an
nounced before the sermon that Remen-
vi would play some sacred airs after the
service, as farewell to this country
The wandering Jew, said Mr.. Beecher
was David, whose stringed instrument
had played to the hearts and souls OF
myriads of people. If the stringed in
strument was good enough for him, il
was good enough for us who praised
God with the voice and Organ-pipe
Those who desired to go after the ser.
vice were affectionately invited to go
and those who wished to stay and hear
the wandering minstrel of Hungary
were affectionately requested to stay
After the benediction almost the entire
congregation remained. Mr.. BeecheI
tried to induce Remenyi to sit and play
on the pulpit platform, but the violin
ist, with characteristic modesty, seated
himself on the steps. He played con.
certed piece first, and followed it with
an air on one string, closing with the
Hungarian national hymn. Mr.. Beech.
er rebuked the applause which followed
the first piece, saying that he would not
consider it tribute if one of his pray.
ers was applauded, and many pieces OF
sacred music were prayers without
words. After Remenyi had finished
Mr.. Beecher wished him as hearty a
welcome home as he had received in
this country, where had delighted sc
many thousands with his music.

they are maintained. We believe, TAX
ing several seasons together, it is the
exception when they do impart disease
to other cattle or plant the germs of
disease upon the grass lands upon which
they happen to be kept. Just what are
the conditions under which the disease
is impaired we believe are not under
stood-whether it depends on climatic
or meteorological conditions, or upon
receiving or imparting the disease. We
believe it has not been ascertained
whether these southern cattle are as ca.
pable of imparting the disease at one
time as another, or whether the north
ern cattle are more susceptible to its re-
ception at one time than at another.
But in whatever light the question is re-
garded 1t is evidently one of the very
highest Importance, not to any one sec
ton, but to all sections of the country,
and instead of being excepted from its
consideration, the Bureau of Animal
Industry should be specially charged
with its investigation. For until its
character and conditions are more thor
oughly comprehended it will be impos-
sible to frame such regulations concern
ing it as will secure border cattle that
safety which their owners require and
protect the owners of southern cattle
from troublesome interference.
The interests to be affected by any
regulation concerning this mysterious
disorder-the interests of those who
have southern cattle to sell, and those
| who wish to buy them for northern pas
tures-are too large and concern too
generally the interests Of farmers, gra-
Ziers and stock growers over too large
an area, to trust the states With any
powers of interference. Whatever ac-
tion is taken at any time should be ta-
ken by the general government, and be
uniform in its application, and so we'll
considered that the best interests of all
would be conserved. State interference
can only prove vexatious and embar-
RAISING. We are led to say what we
have concerning it at this time by an
account of some litigation now pending
in Barber county, Kansas, in relation to
this matter. A man named Boyd, it
appears, brought in some cattle con-
trary to local regulations, nearly year
ago, which were seized, and over which
several law suits have been had. We
can not undertake to give the exact
status of the case as it stands, and it is
not material, since, no matter how it
terminates, the owner will have been
subjected to great vexation and expense
which he could have avoided if there
had been some regulations of the gener-
al government under which he would
have known just what his rights were
in moving cattle at that particular time
of year or in that apparent condition,
and been protected fully in their lawful
exercise. OF course Mr.. Boyd is only
an individual, but that is no matter;
the same difficulties may come to
any other individual under the same
circumstances and it is to prevent such
trouble and define and protect every
body's rights that Federal regulations,
based upon a correct knowledge of the
disease and the necessities it imposes,
should be substituted for these loose,
! ill-considered and often conflicting state
gulations.-Chicago Breeders Ga

One of the most remarkable features
of the western cattle business has been
the movement from Michigan, Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri of young breeding
stock and stock steers. AT least 15O,-
600 head have been so taken by Wyom-
ing, Nebraska, Colorado and Montana.
Oregon, which in former times was the
chief source of stock cattle supplies for
the states and territories named, has
been too closely drained to yield any
more for the present. This western ex-
Odus Of thrifty, well bred young cattle,
must make great impression on the
quality of the western range stock with
in the immediate future. In the light
of five years ago this would have had
the appearance of carrying Goals to
Newcastle with vengeance.

Why Clothes are so Dear


The New York Times (rep.) publishes
comparison of the difference in the
prices in New York and London of
mems clothing, which no fair minded
reader Can consider without acknowl-
edging the injustice Of the outrageous
system that makes such q difference
possible.
For instance, broadcloth dress suit
which costs $50 in.New York, costs on
ly So in London.
A heavy business suit which costs
$50 in New York costs but Sl3 in Lon
don.
A spring serge overcoat which costs
$40 In New York costs but $3.50 in Lon
don.
A winter beaver oyercoat which costs
S35 in New York costs but Sl4.50 in
Lyndon.
A silk hat which costs SIS in New
York costs but SO in London.
These articles altogether cost In New
York $40. In London they cost but
S61. The man who buys these clothes,
therefore, in New York pays $40 more
for them than he could buy them for in
| London.
What causes this difference i'm the
prices of the two cities
Our tariff.
No one viii dispute that, with the
tariff removed, the same goods could be
purchased as cheaply in New York as
in London, at least as cheaply plus the
freight rates between the two cities.
The man who pays therefor, $40 for
clothes in New York really buys SCI
worth of clothes, on which he pays $40
taxes.
And where do these taxes go?
If the goods are manufactured in this
country not one cent reaches the treas
ury. 1t is simply so taken by law from
the man that buys s6l worth of clothes
and given to the man who grows wool
and the man who makes cloth.
If the goods are manufactured abroad.
$40 goes to treasury which does not
need it, and can raise all the revenue it
requires on whiskey, tobacco and arti-
cles Of luxury.
In either case the purchaser of the
clothes gets absolutely nothing for the
$40 of the $40 which ne spends.
If on buying the clothes he had to
pay SCI 10 the clothier and SO directly
to tax collector, how long would he
stand such extortion?
In result there is not particle Of diff
ference between that system and the
present tariff system, according TO
which he is thus unnecessarily and ex-
brilliantly taxed, not only on his cloth
ing, but on nearly every necessary of
life.
How long win the people of country
which claims to be free submit to this
legalized robbery, which those who up
: hold it and grow fat upon it are pleased
to call protective tariff.
