Mr.. schurz's Movement.


ut is mistake to suppose that we
have gone into this movement without
taking a careful account of stock on
hand" said Carl Schurz to a Courier
Journal correspondent to-day, when
speaking of the late manifesto of the in
dependents, in which objections were
raised to the nomination OF either
Blaine or Arthur.
"Let us, for example, take this state
of New York. In all probability its
vote will be the settler of the campaign.
For some weeks we have been dilligent-
ly making canvass Of the situation.
There are 1900 school districts in the
state of New York, and otfr correspon-
dence has very nearly covered the field.
SUPPOSE now that in each of these dis
tricts the returns showed but one repub-
lican who would refuse to vote for eth
er Arthur or Blaine even that would
be sum total Of consequence In state
most likely to be closely contested
battle ground. But as a matter of fact,
the average is far above this SO far, in
deed, that considering the fat footed
sentiments expressed by those from
whom we have heard, it would be idle
to count on New York in the republi-
can column with either of the candi-
dates named. This point is derided by
the Blaine organs, but if they persist in
their course they will find out the mel
ancholy truth when it is too late.n
Have the Independents any regular
organizationp"
mot yet outside of New York and
Massachusetts,. In both these states it
is strong and numerous and determin-
ed. For purposes Of defeat in the event
of Blaine's nomination these two states
would be quite enough, but it must be
remembered that any influence of this
kind radiating from Massachusetts
would be certain to have its weight I'M
New Hampshire, whose republican ma
jority is never large, while the influ-
ences from New York would to an
equal extent pervade Connecticut and
New jersey.
eve have the most reliable advices
from Massachusetts, about the growth
of an independent sentiment in every
direction over that state. The simple
truth is that party shackles are very
loosely worn by vast number OF So
called republicans; whose prejudices
lead them into the republican camp, if
they find the fight sort Of commander
and inspiring principles Of warfare, but
who care SO little for the shop worn slo-
gans, OF the republican party that they
are ready at any minute to fight under
another flag in order to obtain what
they demand in the shape Of reform
and enlightened progress, by humiIia-
tion and defeat Of machine corruption-
fists in their party

The Hunnewell correspondent of the
Kansas City Live Stock l. .,cator fur
nishes the following interesting live
stock items:
Hewins g. Titus are receiving from
Washington & Addington 1000 head of
beeves which are beng driven through
from Red river in herds of 1, 900 to !, 500
each, and are in good plight. This
makes l4,Ooo which Washington q Ad-
dington have recently disposed of.
Cobb & Hutton have bought 25 Short
horn pulls from Hughes 81 Cline, of
HunneweIl. L. S. Hutton, of the above
firm, has 2,4o0 beeves that he viii ship
from here.
d. A. Constable, of st. Joseph, Mo-,
who, short time since bought the Pc
ter Stewart range, L. T., with $50 head
OF cattle thereon, will soon purchase
and place 800 more on the same range.
Hodges &c Snyder, of Winfield, Kan,
came over this week and bought 1853
head Of the Mississippi cattle which w.
s. Archibald held there.
A number of immigrants passed
through this place lately with 600 head
of mixed cattle for Montana. 1 have
been informed that many herds will be
driven from the South and Southwest to
that Territory.
During the past winter Arkansas and
low-grade cattle seemed to have suffer
ed far more than improved stock, hence
renewed desire among stockfnen for
higher grades. The day cannot be far
distant when the scrubs and inferior
grades, like the bnffalo, will have dis
appeared forever from the plains of the
west. Just now Herefords ana PolIed
Angus are the favorites. G. E. Torrey
is driving 81 head Of the above to his
range on the North Fork. I. r. A good
many small lunches of mostly scrub
cattle are being driven along the lire to
Barber county and other poi nfs west.

The sporting editor of the New York
World replies to correspondent con-
cerning a question relating to our ma
tional game. Rule 8 in draw poker, gov
erning your question reads eff the
dealer give to himself or either of the
other players more or less than five
cards, and the player receiving such i'm
proper number of cards lift his hand be-
fore he announces the fact, no misdeal
occurs and he must retire from the
game for that hand" If the misdeal is
called before lifting the cards, there
must be new deal. If you lifted six
cards you lost your ante. 1t is the pen
atty you must pay for not watching
more sharply.
