Drovers' Journal: 1t is said that a
company of harvesters might begin
work in Georgia or Alabama about the
first of May and work northward, keep
ing in the midst of the harvesting sea-
son by so doing, until the middle or last
of August, when the work for the year
would be finished in Minnesota and Da-
kota. To large extent this is true of
the roundup work ameng the cattle
ranges of the west. The cowboys in the
far south, where luxurient grass comes
in March and April, can usually gather
beeves as fat in May as the Montana
cowboys get in July. The work of gath
eriug beeves and branding calves has al
ready begun, and will continue until
the middle of August. AS a general
thing the ranch foremen are now able
to calculate with tolerable accuracy the
losses by death and the increases by
birth since the herds went into the win
ter. The two most trying months Of
the year, March and April, have passed
with no unusual mortality among the
herds, but it must be confessed that the
rigors of those months were more severe
this year than ranchmen were led to an
ticipate from the character of the
months preceding. In most sections
about the only losses sustained, except
from natural causes, occurred in the
two months named.

some money in cattle, and start ranch
IN the Indian Territory. He must have
then had in mind the attempted rob-
Oery. Circumstances all point to the
fact that the robbery was contemplated
weeks before it was undertaken.
A prominent gentleman of this city
advances peculiar theory in regard to
the Medicine Lodge robbery. 1t will be
remembered that the accounts of the
flight OF the robbers agree that if the
ro6ber gang had continued on their
southwark course one mile further they
would have met a man with wagon
and four led horses. The gentleman in
question thinks that this man, whoever
he was, was leading these horses up to
meet the robbers, and aid them in their
escape, but the robbers were forced, by
the hot pursuit, to abandon their plan
OF escape and take 70 the gypsum hills
before they could come up with their
accomplice. We confess we haven't
much faith in any such theory % but
after all it may be right, and we give it
for what it is worth.

For some time there has been a grow
ing restiveneSs on the part of the ne
groes in South Carolina at the appoint
ments of the African Methodist Episco-
pal conference, the cry being raised that
none but northern preachers, who are
styled 10y the southern negroes carpet
baggers, are appointed. This has cul-
minated at Charleston in the open re-
bellion of the congregations of two of
the churches connected with the confer
ence. In one Of them, the wealthiest
and largest i'll the city, the congregation,
headed by the women, entered the
church, took the preacher up bodily and
carried him out into the street, and then
nailed up the doors.

Caldwell Journal The new stock
yards of the Santa Fe railroad are COM
pleted, and there is no doubt that they
are the best shipping yards in the west.
The manner in which they are con-
structed and the material used indicate
that they are built to remain for all
time. In the old yards there was always
more or less trouble in yarding stock,
from the fact that the entrance was To-
Gated on low ground but in the new
yards this is Obyiated by making the en-
trance on higher ground. This altera-
tion is of vast Importance to stock men
having bad cattle to corral, and should
be bourne in mind by drivers. The
yards will be in charge of Mr.. Drake,
who also has the Dodge City yards to
look after. lie is said to be thorough
ly good man for the place, and shippers
will have no reason to complain during
the coming season.

was held at Wichita on the 9th day of
April, 1884, at which meeting the follow
ing resolutions were adopted:
First-That in our opinion it would
be wise and prudent for the members of
the bar throughout the southwest to
meet in convention for the purpose of
consultation in reference to obtaining
resresentation of our section of the state
upon the supreme bench.
Second-That we recommend that C.
n. Sterry, of Emporia, II. G.. Ruggles,
of Wichita and NJ. w. Sutton, of Dodge
City, be appointed committee, with
authority to determine the time and
place and issue the call for such meet
ing, and determine the representation
thereto.
Being in full accord with the spirit of
the resolutions, the committee named
have been in consultation, and determ-
ined as follows
1st. That the convention meet in the
city of Wichita, on the 18th day of June,
1854, at 10 O'Clock a. m.
I'd. That each county send as many
delegates to the convention as it may
desire. and that all delegates have a
right to participate in discussing mat
tiers coming before the convention, but
that the convention determine the num-
Der of votes each county shall cast.
The convention has not been suggest
ed or this call issued in the interest of
any particular person, or of any particu-
lar locality, but is called for the purpose
of obtaining representation upon the
supreme bench from our part of the
state, if possible, by agreeing upon the
person best adapted for the place, and
urging his nomination by the coming
republican state convention for such
place.
We hope that this call will meet with
the hearty approval Of the bar general
ly, and that they will interest them
selves i'll seeing that their county is full
ly represented in the convention, and
that the convention be of character to
command the attention and considera-
tion of the state convention.
We recommend that each county have
a meeting of its bar as early as June Ist,
to select delegates.
Dated the 18th day of April, 1884.

undoubtedly prefer HIM to any other

there seems to be reasonable chance

Everything depends upon the one point
whether Mr.. Blaine's friends will be

LIONEL SHELDON,
Governor of New Mexico.
A PLAYED Out Issue.

Kansas City Times: 1t can safely be
assumed that the bloody shirt is finally
laid to rest. The grand old party can
never more march under the ensanguin-
ed garment. John Sherman's attempt
to boom his presidential boomlet under
cover of the azure article, his failure at
'Danville, the reports of the Copiah
county investigation falling like dead
weight upon the country show conclu-
Slyely that the people have passed ON to
other and more important issues.
Indeed the elections in the south
show conclusive,y how foolish is the at
tempt to control northern public senti-
ment by such base appeals to the polit-
ical passions and by misrepresentation
of the actual condition of southern af-
fairs.
In the recent election in Louisiana
the official returns show that the demo-
cratic candidate was elected by about
10000 majority. There is no charge or
pretense that there was not perfectly
fair vote and strange to say, republicans
were elected in democratic precincts.
In some of the districts republicans
were elected without opposition. Ne
groes were chosen on both tickets.
In the light of these facts, the talk
about fair ballot and a fair count still
repeated parrot like in some conven-
tons sounds extremely childish and
puerile. The elections are as free and
the count fairer in the south than in
many of our northern cities.

Kansas City Times: Fred Grant, the
generals cheerful son, is not disposed
TO be over-thaDkful for the generosity
OF congress toward his father, but says
that If the government gave him cold
million it would not be more than he
deserves. Perhaps not +; that is mere
matter of opinion. But if the day ever
comes when the government presents
the general with cold million, it will
be tied up in way to prevent Colonel
Fred from getting his talented clutch on
it. The young man can bet his due bills
on that.

Senator Edmunds' proposition to
place General Grant on the retired list
OF the army, would, if it becomesa law,
secure Grant the pay of general, s14,-
500. and the emoluments attached there

This with the $4,000 year income
from the S25O,OOO fund, ought to pre-

l DEAR SIR.-I find there is misap-
prehension as to the laws of New Mex
leo touching the importation of cattle
into that territory from other localities.
AT the time when so much alarm exist
ed as to the foot and mouth disease in
Kansas, the legislature passed a very
stringent law imposing severe penalties
on bringing in diseased cattle requiring
inspection and quarantine. Subsequent
ly law was passed suspending its ope-
ration until the governor, in a proper
case, shall put it in force by proclama-
ton. Therefore, at the present time,
there is no prohibition or restraint upon
bringing cattle into the territory from
any locality.

4 Blessing in Disguise.

There was to have been o suit for as.
sault and battery before one of the JUS
tees in tie temple yesterday. A farmer
down in Springwells was charged with
having slapped the jaws of his neighbor,
and two wagon-loads of witnesses we're
on hand to swear to this and that. Both
plaintiff and defendant seemed TO be de-
termined men. and their respective
wives sat and glared ut each other like
two old cats. Some of the Necessary
formalities were being worked up when,
all of q sudden, the wife of the COM
plainant was taken with the toothache.
1t wasn't the kind which growls and
mutters and fools around, but the old
fashioned, jumping ache, and in two
minutes she was crying. Her tears at
once affected the wife of the defendant.
and after q little she slid over an whis-
pered:
poor thing-I'm sorry!"
"Oh such an achew sobbed the VIC
tim.

as he came up.
"Why, your poor wife is suffering ter

Who's got tho toothache?' in
quired the defendant rs he joined the
group.

George! but that's too bad! Sha'n't

At this the plaintiff turned about,
held out his hand, and replied:
Say, George, was fool to bring
this suit. Ioal,ed you liar and you hit
me. that was right.
But I'm sorry, jim"
"Then let's drop the whole business
and ride home together and have a
chicken dinner! Molly, git your cloak
on"
And in spite of lawyers and spectators
and the queer expression of his honor
face, the plaintiff paid all costs, slapped
the defendant on the back, and headed

1t is pity considering the high Of
flee OF the newspaper that it will not
generally realize its greatness and pay
of and discharge any reporter or editor
who will sit down and indite a lie. If
the daily paper is the history of q day
and, as such, is of immense value, de-
lberate lie is the last thing to be put
into type. An oath now and then
would do less harm. Washington is
said to have uttered few oaths when
mad, but he atoned for this weakness
by not lying. A lie is not valuable
factor in daily journal. Man has no
good history OF Luther or Calvin or of
any OF the great men of the past, be-
cause all who first wrote these lives
stuffed their pages full of what never
came to pass. We have therefore no
good history of any nation or OF any
person.
