stretch at greed, whose hristling coils
are legion ana the profits OF whose
wholesale usurpations are expended in
the wasting luxuIies ans designations

herdsman, who knew his rights and
dared defend them, the low,
contemplate odium of Communism,
as the prompting incentive, and osten-
sible cause of his action, Is a most
slanderous and hagraut outrage, and
an unfeeling and direct insult TO In
Jury. Had he inherited groveling,
invidious disposition or his nature
become poisoned with this wild despi-
cable Authorization he never would
have sought the brave, open, generous
front of the far Northwest as his field OF
operations or theater for action. This
reckless element of desperation Is gen
Grated In our populous cities, and Is
sues from it's dark ,suspiciousa alleys and
walls of stuck-up poverty. The North
western cattleman covets not the
possessions of others, but only desires to
be left IN the peaceable and quiet en-
ioyment of his own. And while he
has thus been forced to act in an eX-
tremity. severely painful and unpleas-
ant to him, in resisting the inslnuat-

power, threatening and depriving him
OF his dearest rights, enclrcling MS

In the cold sordid embrace of an I'M
feeling monopoly he regrets the ma
rauding, sneaking clans of worse than
bapditti, who should wear the felon's
bidge, that the world might know the
depths of their damning infamy; who
work up professional jobs, the venal
hirelipgs of coward hearts; who,
stepped with revenge that can only
melt in midnight darkness, have en-
gendered prejudice and heaped an
odium upon this question, which
should not be laid at his door; and the
| legislature that can meet its require
ments with discriminating provisions,
that will satisfy its demands, in this
two-fold relation, will have discovered
the philosophers stone that will allay
the trouble and set at rest this vexed
problem that has called up the talent
of the state to solve. Public sentiment
and feeling are freely in accord with
the one, while its highest condemna-
ton calls for the strictest enforcement
of the penalties of the law against the
other. No good citizen can contem-
plate the deeply stirred up malice of
the cold-hearted villain who can kim
die the blazing torch, cut the fence, or
fire the assassin's fatal shot, without
feeling deep sense of indignant dis
gust at outraged justice and violated

our republican form of government
