Southern Malignity.

How LITTLE realization the Southern
Bourbon has of a National Govern
ment or of the rights and duties of
citizenship is shown by the following
extract which we make from the
Houston (Tex.) Journal, which is the
official newspaper at the Capital:
1t was the Republicans who began the
war of hate, who carried it on with unre-
lenting fiendiShneSS and who, when the
bloody scenes were over, StrOVe by every
inhuman art to perpetuate the hatred ana
make the strife eternal. 1t lCds the ReplLb,,
iica,ss aoho stole our slaues and 1,eper paid
one cent for the higlt-hdnded robbery. u
was the Republicans who placed the IRAN
chiSe in the hands of the negro race DeIofe
they could read or write. 1t is the Repub-
licans who are still endeayoring to reduce
the Southern people to level or clvlilza.
ton low enough to accommodate race thas
is still struggling with the superstition OF
recent barbarism.
Arguing from these premises, the
Journal says: down with the false
sentiment that keeps us silent and gen
tle-spoken in reference to this crime
against our mother" And again: The
Southerner who goes back Oh his peo-
pie and consOrtS with the campers VINO
have succeeded the spoiler is a Turn
coat, venal Judas, or a Jeremy DID
dler."
In his recent speech at Holly Springs,
Miss. Senator Lamar said:
We have not met to exchange sentiments
as to what may be the best course for the
people of Mississippi to take. in the pend
ing National and Congressional election.
| Not only Nations interests and Nation
| honor are at stake, but the most priceless
| interests of the white people of this dis
| trict are at stake. Since 1857, when was
! first called into public life, l have made
more speeches in Marshall County than In
| any other county in Mississippi. 1t IS one
| of the inconvenience of consistency OF
| conviction that cannot entertain you with
| a new programme OF principles. The great
question before the people OF TINS district
| is very much the same that it has been for
| the last ten years. It is the one topic you
know so well you have become familiar
with it. 1t can all be summed up in one
sentence. My convictions, my sentiments,
which I have so often stated to the people
of this district, can be put in this one short
sentence: We, the WHITE people t MtSStSS-
ippi, ought to stand together trmCy TO the
end.
Perhaps after such utterances as
these, those who fancy that the South
is reconstructed and that every citizen
of that section enjoys his complete
rights may realize that they are mis-
taken. Perhaps these sentiments may
account for the Infamous and murder,
GUS acts which have been performed
and explain why it is that in at least
four Southern States no Republican
candidates are running.

had The fiercest opposition to Cleve-
land is i'm his own party and in his own
State. Thousands of New York Dem
ocrats are openly arayed against him
and other thousands are secretly knit
mo him. The Democratic campaign
has been conducted on party basis
and the candidate has been ignored as
far as possible. The Democratic pub
lie speakers as a rule do not so much as
mention his name. Tilden in his re-
cent letter never mentioned him. Bay
ard. in his Chicago speech had no words
of praise for him and dared not make
any apology for him.
All Democrats who want to look at
the situation intelligently, then, should
put it in this way: If the struggle was
lost in 1880 with man like Hancock
as a candidate after Ohio had gone 49,
100 in the State election in which the
Republicans had all the advantages
from the start, what reasonable hope is
there that New York can be carried
sor a man like Cleveland or that Cleve-
land can be elected after Ohio has gone
Republican by u safe majority in a
State election in which the Democrats
had all the advantages from the start?
That is conundrum for Democrats to
work at.-CRicaqO Tribune.

In recent number of the Billings

In recent number of the Billings
Post we find the following:
"The cattle shipments for the first
half of the preset month are as fol-
lows: Otto Franc, 26 cars; Montana
Cattle CO. Is, Northwestern Cattle Co.
8, Suddith & Frat II, VIM. Gordon s,
Nelson Story %, w. H. Martain 80,
Floweree & Lowery SO, G. d. Hudson
81. J. Walk 8, A. A. Ellis
2, G. Demaris 2. Total number of car
loads, 209."
The item is suggestive. If the
people of far off Montana can make
money by raising cattle for shipment
to Chicago or New York, certainly
the farmers of Stevens county can,
and if farmers here will go into stock
raising extensively enough to make
shipments, like those noted above,
possible from here, the bottom may
drop out of the wheat market without
such disastrous results as are now
noticeable.

Hancock and Cleveland.

Democrats who are trying to console
themselves for the crushing Republic
can victory in Ohio on the ground that
"the State always goes Republican in
Presidential years" will do we'll to re-
call the influence of the corresponding
State election four years ago.
In 1880 the Republican majority in
the October Ohio election was about
10000. But the Presidential candidate
of that year was an Ohio man. Gen.
Garfield was beloved by his people to
an extent almost without parallel. He
was born and reared in Ohio. He had
commanded Ohio legions in the War
for the Union. He was the great ora
tor and statesman of his region-the
Henry Clay of the State. Every senti-
ment of State pride, personal friend
ship, and loyalty urged the Republic
cans of Ohio in October, 1880, to poll
their greatest strength. Nor did they
encounter that year the obstacles which
were thrown in their way this year.
\ The State and the chief cities were in
their hands. The registration law was
\ still in force as protection against
frauds. There was no practical liquor
issue to plague them. In one word,
the Republicans had all the advan-
tages on their side in 1880 which the
Democrats enjoyed in the late State
campaign. Under these conditions it
must be admitted that the Republican
majority this year is much greater
triumph than an equal majority four
years ago.
After the October election in 1880 the
Democrats commended, as they do now,
that they still had a good fighting
chance. The battle was to be trans
ferred, they said, to New York, and
they entertained great confidence in
the personal strength of their Presi-
Dental candidate. Gen. Hancock was
certainly the most available candidate
| they could have. He was in every re-
spect a strong man. He was a COM
manding figure in American history.
He had been dashing and successful
soldier, and had led his army corps to
| victory. He was New Yorker by res
| idence, and commanded the admiration
and support Of the soldier element Of
| New York to great extent. Never
theless, Garfield, three weeks later, in
creased the Ohio majority from 10000
| to 5000, and Hancock lost New York
| by Fl 900 votes after a desperate con-
| test.
The Democrats are IN a much SOrrler
plight this year after the Republican
victory in Ohio than they were four
years ago. Instead Of a Hancock as
| their Presidential candidate, of whom
to be proud, they have Cleveland, of
whom they are ashamed. Instead of a
man who stood out boldly as national
character and enjoyed the respect Of
the American people, they have a local

An exchange thinks it would be u
good idea If many fathers were like the
philosopher Emerson. He worshipped
all trees, flowers, plants, etc., and
planted an orchard for his son, when
he was in his infancy, saying, that it
would prove better investment than
railroad stocks. We need a few Emer-

Prairie Farmer: So much has been
said of the benefits derived from good
blood in breeding that one might he
excused for thinking that no reason
exists for saying more OH the subject.
Everybody should be convinced by
this time. and further to induce people
to discard forever the scrub should be
Unnecessary. But the fact is that even
in the West, where the livestock de-
partment of farming is relatively so
much more important than it has ever
been in the East. comparatively few
of the millions of cattle are well bred
| few horses have even a remote touch
of good blood; too many sheep are
mere scrubs, aud even the swine on
many u farm are too much like the
long-snouted racers Of the pioneer
times. It has become generally rec
ognized that the transmission of in
diyidual characteristics Is SO certain
that the most patient and painstaking
efforts of skillfull breeders to obliterate
Objectionable features often result in
Disappointment. Generations have
been required to fix II desired trait;
aud after many generations some
characteristic that had long been al
most unknown will reappear.. To fix
q good quality 50 firmly that it may be
depended upon to reproduce itself,
long years even generations, are need
ed, in the course of which disappoint-
ments will greatly outnumber the
victories. Yet the average old-style
farmer will refuse TO pay more for a
bull, Il boar, or !, ram of the best blood
or for the use of such animals, than he
will pay for the veriest scrub. This
seems incredible, but proofs of the
truth of the assertion obtrude them
selves OH every hand.
In the West bull calves of good
breeding can be bought for prices
ranging from $40 to$lOO, the cheaper
ones being unregistered, perhaps, but
fully as good us they would be regis
| tered, for all the uses OF those who
have no pure-bred females. Jersey
bulls that would double the butter
production of any ordinary herd can
! be bought for $50 or less; high grade 1t
| not pureblood Holland aud Ayrshire
bulls can bought at the same prices;
boars and rams of excellent blood can
| be obtained on equally favorable terms
/ vat fine minority of the class of farm
ers mentioned will not buy, nor will
they use such animals unless, indeed,
they can steal tile SERVICES, The con-
sequence Is they go along grubbing in
the corn field in the summer to raise

decrease from the middle of May to
the middle Of July; next period OF
much increase from The middle OF
July to the middle OF November; and
then period of little or no change
from the middle of November to the
