over them. l was also a sufferer from
severe catarrh and catarrhal cough; my
appetite was poor, and my system a good
deal run down. Knowing the value of
AYERS SARsAPARILLA, by observation of
many other cases, and froUt personal use
abOve-named disorders. My appetite inn
proved almost from the first dose. After
\ short time the fever and itching were
allayed, and all signs of irritation Of the
Skin disappeared. My catarrh and cough
were also cured by the same means, and
my general health greatly improved until
il is now excellent. / feel hundred per

The new bank, which succeeds to
the business of the Bank of River
Falls, is fortunate in many respects.
In addition to the fact that the new
institution is bonded in accordance
with the state laws, and that the
stockholders are successful business
men of known integrity, the fact that
the present administrative officers.
Messrs. Smith and Lang, remain in
charge, betokens for it a successful
business career. These two gentle
men have demonstrated their etlicien-
cy in the past; and if a careful devo-
ton to business will win, we congrat-
ulate our business men that there is
SO much of the old regime in the new.

Referring to the Past.

Now we submit to the decision OF every
candid mind ifit IL not true that when the
country IS left open, IL becomes "a matter OF
private contention rs TO who shall occupy
the land. or course the strong will overpow.
er the weak. Has II not been demonstrated
by the history Of halfa century nearly, that
the cattle kings held undisput.d possession
OF this territory 10 the utter and compcte
exclusion OF all corners? Before the lease
system, powerful syndlcates occupied these
lands with their cattle, thereby presenting
an enectual barrier 10 all settlers. This is II
fact wi ich admits OF no controvorsy.--[Cle-
burne Telegram.
"The history Of half century"
docs not demonstrate that the cattle
kings held possession OF the country
TO the exclusion Of all comers. If this
were so, how Is 1t that Texas has grown
in that half century-in the last TWEEN
ty years 30 rapidly? How is ii that
actual settlers have driven the "cattle
kings backward aud further TO the
westward, until now there is no re-
treat-save in lease law and wire
fences" We have had free grass In
Texas all these years until 1884, and
yet the cattle kings could not hold the
country against thesettler. The cattle
raiser has been steadily driven back
until ut last ne himself suggests n
lease law, with the argument that the
school.children should be paid for the
grass. Smart syndicates Shrewd
corporations They see that II the
past policy OF Texas is continued, n
few years will drive them out OF the
state, and so, in convention
assembled, they recommend n
lease law. Free grass attracts the
poor farmer to the frontier, but
bristling barbed wire deters him. The
syndicates and corporations that want
to perpetuate the business in Texas at
the expense of the settlement of the
West knew what they wanted. And
Texas papers fall into the trap and
think they are fighting these would be
pasture lords when they advocate the
lease. Smart syndicates Shrewd

syndicates went westward "a the

the lease system the man with the hoe
does not come, and the syndicate

that five years hence there will he
the same argument as now for per.
petuating his lease.
Unlike the Telegram, we do not i'm.
pugn its motives; but time will prove
the lease law advocates to be the cattle
syndicate's best friend.

consideration Of the matter as II
