pendent Conference and read the formal
address OF principles, but he left some
things unexplained. He did not ex.
plain why be himself now intends to
vote for Mr.. Hendricks, whom in 1876
he denounced as the ally of slavery,
and candidate acceptable only to
Confederates, Copperheads, inAationist
hypocritical Teformers. He did not
explain why he, the acknowledged
leader of Civil Service reform, should
desert the party which had followed
Mr.. Eaton's advice and enacted the
first practical measure for reforming
the evils of the Civil Service. He did
not explain why he should desert that
party the day after it had adopted in
National Convention a Civil Service
plank framed by his own hand. He
did not explain why he had gone over
to the Democratic party, after having
repeatedly denounced it as incapable
of accomplishing any practical reform
or of serving amy useful or patriotic
purpose-a party that is"very hungry

GENERAL RUBICUND RosEcRANs, a
good Democrat, by the way, when
character counts, finds that the nomi'
nation of Cleveland and Hendricks
has "chilled two classes of workers,
the industrial classes and the SOL
diers." Rosecrans is old enough to
know that his party doesn't care a fig
for these classes. What it wants is
more mules-and offices-PhiIa. Press.

Washington Special: At the woman's
suffrage convention now in session here
the presidential probabilities were dis
cussed by one of the fair orators. Ed
munds, she began, would not do. He
had always used his influence in the sen.
ate against women. The historian of
the kennebec, as she described Blaine,
was considered better than Edmunds,
but he had never supported the cause of
the women with a whole-souled ardor.
The Stalwart dictator of New York,
Roscoe Conkling, said the speaker, nev-
er had anything but sneer for women.
There is no danger, however, from him.
Nobody wants him, and, said the speak
er, he has no more chance of being pres
ident than a woman. The favorite sons
OF democracy were next passed in re-
view. The giant from nigmy Delaware
is brrve knight, but when he sets his
lance against women he might as well
be put away with the fossils of the Ma
tlonal museum along with Kenneth
RaynOr. She thought that if Flower
was nominated the women would smile
on him, but in her opinion the best man
was lndlana's favorite son, Joseph f.
Mcdonald, to whom woman owes a
debt of gratitude. Her characteriza-
ton of the candidates was loudly ap-
plauded.

Norwich, Connecticut is distinguish
ed for Che number and independence of
its dogs. They patrol the streets, singly
and III squads, day and night, and when
they meet in accidental convention at a
street corner, citizens are obliged to go
into the middle of the street to pass
around them. They are of all breeds
and sizes.
AT midnight one day last week about
fifty dogs of all sizes and descriptions
met on Warren street, an aristOcratic
and retired quarter and joined in a free
fight. The contest is described by per-
sons who were awakened as terrific.
The street was blocked with the mass
of writhing forms. No order of battle
was observed, all pitching in where
there was chance to bite. Up and
down the sidewalks and roadbed the
battle ragged for about an hour. Many
ladies who looked from their chamber
windows believed at first that the COM
bat was between wolves and were pros
trated with fright, several being still
indispOsed Oh account of the shock to
their nerves. After the battle when
the herde had withdrawn, many limp
ing from the field, several neighbors
ventured out of their houses. They
found one dead OH the sidewalk.

The losses have not been bad yet, but a
hard March must tell seriously. There

when persuaded to made an honest con-
fession admit that the outlook is bad
enough. Up to February 1st, cattle on
the range never promised better, but
since then many have turned up their
toes" all over the west: On the Chero-
kee Strip the loss is said to have been
light, but about Darlington, IT., and
along the Canadian river, the death
rate is said to have been very large.
Some herds of southern cattle driven up
late, the loss is estimated at 40 per cent.
The overstocked ranges and bad grass
is telling a sad tale on many ranches.
In New Mexico cattle are reported as
doing very well, and from Montana the
news is rather favorable. But in Wyo-
ming, western and eastern Colorado,
cattle have of late been having hard
time, and should March be a bolster,

A few young calves are making their
appearance in the ranges, and we are
afraid the little chaps will cause loss by
their attempt to crowd the season. 1t
is noticed since the improvements are
being made in the quality of stock that
the graded or improved COWS do not pro-
duce calves so early in the season as the
thoroughbred Texans. This is owing,
no doubt, to the superior hardness and
rustling propensities of the long horn
on the range, which puts fat on her ribs
and business in her head earlier in the
spring. BY thus causing her death in
many instances, her superior hardness
works against her and as a range ami
NAL places her more nearly on an equal
ity with her larger and more deliberate
cousin.-Texas Panhandle.

Hon. William Grifiinstin, mayor of
the city of Wichita, and G.. w. Steen-
wood of the board of county commits
sioners of Sedgewick county, acting as
committee to raise subscriptions for
the Ohio flood sufferers, have made ap-
plication to the Atchison company for
the free transportation of large guam
tity of corn donated by the farmers of
Sedgewick county. The Atchison COM
pany has agreed to transport the corn
free to the Missouri river, and acting
on behalf of its connections the Chicago
& Alton and Ohio and Mississippi rail-
ways have promised free transportation
for one solid train load to Cincinnati.
The train will leave Wichita on or
about March 18th, and will consist of
one car from each township In Sedge-
wick county, making twenty-six in all.
The farmers of the Arkansas valley de-
sire thus to make partial return of the
kindness of their eastern brothers
shown them during the Kansas grass
hopper raid of 1874. The train will be
appropriately placarded and decorated.

Cattle Suffering ON the Range.

There is much anxiety felt about cat
Tie on the range. The sleet storm in
western Kansas, eastern Colorado, and
along the Canadian and upper Arkan-
sas rivers, about the middle of Febru-
airy was very hard ON stock of all kinds.
1t was enc of the worst storms possible
fer animals exposed as range stock was.
The rain fell and froze and the wind
blew i'm a frightful manner After this
war of elements, many cattle that be-
fore looked well and promised to come
through all right looked terribly punish
ed Many ranchmen who up 20 that time
reported their death late trifiing say
that they will now be glad if they get
OF with loss of ten per cent, and
some who lost nothing last winter think
they win lose IL per cent. The very
wet weather last fail seems to have rot
the grass ON the range. 1t looks well,
but ranchmen say there is very little
nourishment in it. And it is this, per-
haps, more than the weather that may
be held accountable for the loss. We

LEXINGTON, Mo-, March 3.-The at
tempted elopement of Miss James. a
pupil of the Baptist college, whose pa
rents reside at Kansas City, was pre-
vented this afternoon by Professor Lam
neau, principal of the school. Mr.. John
Young, of Ray county, called at the
college to see the young lady, but was
denied that pleasure. Soon after they
met on the street, and taking his buggy
started for the north side of the river.

left the dock on this side. While await
ing its return they were overtaken by
Professor Lanneau, on horseback. who
damanded that Young take the lady
back. He declared that he would die
first that he would spill every drop of
blood in his veins before he would sur.
render her. The professor invited him
TO step out of the buggy if he wished TO
spill blood, and he then made terms
that il he was not arrested and the
young lady was not expelled. he would
take her back. These terms were ac-
ceded to and turning his buggy for up-

Severe on the Milionaires.

In Beecher's last Sundays sermon he
said: Oh, you beggarly princes Oh
you miscreants, who have covered your
consciences and imaginations, who have
fattened with the devil of selfishness.
who have scraped all goodness out of
yourselves Oh, you whose souls sit
down on the dunghill of filth. are you
as generous as you started if you say of
a man who had been generous and died
poor: "If he had been as careful as l
he would not have died so ?" Yes, he
lost his money and saved himself. while
you have saved your money and will be
damned.

into the Pool the cattle he owns. Each
member has one vote, the number of
cattle he may own not being considered,
but of course this rule could be changed.
The Pool having been formed, three
managing directors who receive no pay,
are elected to serve one year. The Of
flee OF secretary and treasurer is filled
by one member, who is also elected and
who receives a small salary. The man.
aging directors appoint range mana
ger, who selects his employees with the
approval of the directors as to the num-
ber employed, amount paid, etc. All
expenses are paid by the members in
proportion to the cattle owned by each,
and to meet these expenses assessments
are made quarterly in advance. In or
der to avoid kicking" as expressed by
the Indicators correspondent, each
member can be required to give a bond
of say $500 or 81 eco to abide the decis-
ion of a majority of the members, and
of the action of the managing directors.
The Pool should have Pool brand and
obh Doho Pun lOI tnC use OI Jii0
Pool should be branded with that brand
as also the horses, wagons and all camp
equipage, but cattle owned by the men,
bers individually and simply pooled are
branded in the same brand as owned by
each member. When the beef steers
are gathered in the fall the manager
''cuts out'' all beef cattle and turns
them over at the shipping station to the
respective owners, who sell there or
ship as each one may desire.
BY the formation of Pools expenses
are at least SO per cent, less than when
cattle are herded separately. This has
been demonstrated by the Comanche
Co., Kansas, Pool, which was the first
formed in the west and which has been
in existence about five years. Thels
are $4,000 cattle in the Comanche Co..
Kansas, Pool. There are several other
Pools in southwest Kansas and the In
dian Territory and their operations
have been entirely satisfactory.-Kan
