The LIGHT ha, taken occasion to state
sometim. ago that a herd law would not prove
the least solution of the trouble. which was
the matrix Of the fence cutting lawlessless,
and it now repeats this opinion. The herd
law would be ruinously expensive to small
stock raisers, and its general effect would be
to involve all hands in continuous disputes
and difficulties in reference to stock. A herd
law would amount to no remedy At all, in its
practical operations. and would be but the
sowing Of dragons teeth to spring up armed
men at some future period. No man, who
does not own land, has any right to pasture
stock either on public or private land, any
more than he has to erect house to live in
upon the land of some other person. The
LIGHT confidently predicts that a general herd
law will but intensity existing complications.
instead of providing a peaceful and durable
adjustment of conflicting pretensions.
THE mercantile failures for 1883 are really

paving lines through verv sparsely settled
countries, with no way traffic. The bonds of
these uon-payinp railroads brought on that
crash. The Northern Pacific started the ball
