There has been a heavy increase, how
ever, in the shipment both of live cattle
and beef since the close ofthe fiscal year
ending June 80, 1888, as is indicated by
the fact that the shipments for the calen-
dar year ending December 81, 1882,
amounted to only is, 377 cattle, while for
the past year they were 1885, and
there was a corresponding increase in the
exports of beef.
According to the estimate of the United
States department of agriculture there
were AZ, 547 1907 cattle in the country on
January |, 1884, valued at 81, log, us, 7O3.
of which 1851, 206 were mich COWS
valued at s423,4S6 ,649. The number and
value are steadily increasing each year and
without doubt will continue to increase
for many years to come. Prices are steady
and have been well maintained for more
than a year past, although they are not as
high as the extreme figures reached in the
spring of 1882. Recent reports from the
west indicate that the past winter has
been favorable to cattle ~raisers, and that
the losses will be light. The profits of a
well managed range are very large. 1t is
estimated that, with 5000 head of cattle
to start a ranch, a net profit of 1856, 900 to
$4,000 yearly may be realized after the
second year without diminishing the size
of the herd. The growth OF this industry
during the period under review has been
so far in excess of anything anticipated a
quarter Of a century ago, and it has now
reached such magnitude, that predictions
as to its further development in the
future, would really seem out of place at
the present time.

Dorsey on aarfield's Assassination

SANTA FE, N. NJ, March lS.-Ex-
Senator Dorsey published a letter in this
evenings Revieto in reply to ex-Post
Master General James, as saying that had
Garfield taken a lower view of his duties
he would not have fallen a victim to the
assassins bullet. The following is Dor
sey's letter: My answer is, if it is worth
answering at all, that while Garfield may
have been low in his views sometimes, as
all men are liable to be, he struck the low
ert ebb of law tide when he appointed
James post master and McVeagh attorney
general. He caught an evil fanged crab
in one case and a devil fish in the other.

them to a religious war. He them

lied as they reflect upon the full signif-
canoe of their crushing defeat Osman

measures towards any followers who show
signs of disaffection. The two sheikhs
who attempted to leave the camp have
been placed in chains. Admiral Hewitt's
proclamation offering a reward for Os-
mans head reached the hands of sheikhs
with him. They read it and spurned it
with supreme contempt. Osman's scouts
numbering $50 are watching close about
Handoub. They, are under orders.to kill
all stragglers whether English or of

The receipts last year were far in excess
of any previous year in the history of the
business, and were more than twice as
large as the receipts eight years ago. The
increase in the shipments of late years
has not kept pace with the growth of the
receipts, the principal cause for which has
been the development of the packing in

two or three years, the shipment of fresh

The Flood Sufferers.

1t is impossible to estimate the loss of
property, or to give any where near cor
rect idea Of the suffering caused by the
great floods along the Ohio river and its
tributaries. The dispatches represent the
situation Of thousands OF people as pitt
able. Driven from their homes at a sea-
son of the year when the weather in that
section is always inclement, and being in
many instances without sufficient food,
clothing and shelter, their condition is
such as to appeal strongly to charitable
people everywhere. Congress has
appropriated 100000 for their benefit,
and contributions are being made to aid
them in Northern towns and cities. Sa-
vannah has put her hand into her pocket
quite frequently lately for one purpose
and another. Not long ago hundreds of
her people were rendered homeless by
great fire and their wants made a big
draft on her charity. But she remembers
that the section now devastated by floods
was kind to her in her great trouble in
1876, and she is ready to respond to any
call for help from the sufferers. Doubt
less some of our citizens who are leaders
in charitable work will take hold of this
matter and give Savannah an opportunity
to help i'm the relief work.

1t goes back to the people

Our article on Macon and Florida
Railroad Lines" furnishes our esteemed
contemporary, the Macon Telegraph and
Messenger, the occasion for column of
matter. We are sorry, however, that our
contemporary has misinterpreted the
spirit and intention of our article. If it
had accepted in good faith exactly
what we said, instead of look
ing for hidden purpose, it
would have had no occasion to CON-
ment, except, perhaps, to commend
us for our willingness to help on
Macon enterprises. Our contemporary
says that it has some faith in human ma
ture. We hope it has enough to believe
that our sole purpose was TO inform our
readers respecting the Macon and Florida
railroad enterprises. This is all we
did, except to express the opinion
that, perhaps, a standard gauge
road would be more acceptable to the peO-
pie of the section of country tributary to
the proposed lines of road. We know
nothing of Plant Investment schemes in
this connection, and don't know that
there are any schemes. We are perfectly
willing that one or both of the proposed
lines shall be built. We hope that we
are not so selfish as to wish to deprive
any section of our State of rail-
road facilities because such facilities
might give another journal a little adj
vantage in the matter Of time. We hope
to make the MORNING NEWS so good
paper that such an advantage would not
tend to limit its circulation in the least.
We regret that a hasty conclusion has
led our contemporary into wasting so
much of its valuable space.

MIR. BREwsTERs TROUBLES.
The President Anxious to Gust Him
From the Cabinet.


From the Cabinet.
There is an interesting fight, says a
Washington special to the New York
Times, in progress between the President
and the Attorney-General. 1t has been
going on for some time, but both parties
to the contest have sedluOusly endeaYored
to keep all knowledge of it from the pub
lie. The President has desired for some
time past to get rid of Mr.. Brewster, but
he has not dared, and does not dare TO ask
for his resignation. The star route prose-
cutions have been a veritable shirt OF
Nereus to the President ever since
Guiteau's bullet accomplished its pur-
pose. When the investigation began, and
even after it had made considerable pro-
gress. but before Guiteau fired his fatal
Shot, Mr. Arthur did not hesitate to eX-
press freely and rather publicly his oppo-
sition to the inquiry. He gave expression
to his true sentiments on the subject
when he rOundly rated Postmaster Gene
raj James for his efforts to send to the
penItentiary all the men who had con-
tributed the most to the success OF the
Republican party in 1880. OF course, the
then Vice President spoke hastily and III
anger, or he would not have exaggerated
to this degree. 1t is true, perhaps, that
Dorsey was an important factor in carry
ing Indiana, but he was by no means 'all
the men, who contributed to Republican
success in that State or in New York.
Notwithstanding the subsequent pre-
tense of Brady that he secured large con-
tributiOns from star route contractors IN
response to the Hubbell letter, it is sus-
ceptible of proof that Brady believed and
hoped that the Democrats would carry
Indiana in October, 1880.
