Another View of the Case.

The cattle men across the internation-
al boundary continue to shudder at
their narrow escape. If Wyoming and
Montana cattle had been allowed to
cross the line, take out Canadian natu-
ralization papers, and then enter Eng
land as loyal provincials rather than
tabooed Americans, Canada would have
lost her exclusive control of a highly
lucrative bit of trade. At present the
jealousy of stock raisers in England,
pretense of fear of ofpleuro-pneumonia
has secured the exclusion of all live
cattle except from Canada and the
Scandinavian kingdoms. If the Do
minion government had granted the re-
quest of our territorial stockmen, cattle
men in England would by this
practical evasion again suffer from the
competition of the bovines from the
United States, and cattlemen in Canada
would find their pleasant little monopo-
ly OF the British market for live animals
rudely demolished. Furthermore, q
very slight pretext would have availed
to close the markets of the mother
country against the now favored beeves
of the Dominion, had the Wyoming
ranchers gained their object.-[ Mime
apolis Tribune.
The Billings herald. [volume] (Billings, Mont.) 1882-1885, 1884-10-11
A Good Opinion Of Montana.

NJ. R. Draper, one of the managers
and partners in the Ohio Cattle COM
pany, who have upwards of 5000 head
principally steer cattle, and holding on
Musselshell river, Montana, 40 miles
south of the Missouri, returned home
the first of last week from O three
months tour 10 the company's posses
sions, taking in the stock situation be-
tween here and that section. He spoke
in high praise of that region as stock
country, and thinks cattle in that ex-
treme northern cline are harder grow
larger and take on more fat than cattle
do in this section. He does not consider
it to be much of breeding country
and, while they claim so per cent.
calf crop, yet 40 per cent. would be
nearer the figure. Kansas and Texas,
he claims, must continue to breed the
cattle to be matured to beef in that vast
region, or at least about 60 per cent. of
the stock turned off to market from
northern ranges. Ranch properties,
although numerous, are pretty well
taken up even IN that far of country;
some of which were stocked as early as
10 years ago. Yet there are some good
locations, rather isolated, however, and
in the Bad Land country, which is
poorly watered, yet covered with an
of feed. As beef-producing
country he thinks Montana is the boss.

WALTER Q. GRESHAM,
Successor to Mr.. Folger as Secretary of
the Treasury.

The newly appointed Secretary of the
Treasury, Walter @. Gresham. was bor1
near Corydon, Indiana, in the year 1883
He was student at Bloomington Uni
versity, but did not complete the course
and graduate. After leaving college he
read law, was admitted to the Bar, anC
opened an office. In 1850 he was elect
ed to the Indiana legislature, where he
took an important part in promoting
legislation necessitated by the war o
the Union. Entering the army he be-
came lieutenant colonel of the Thirty.
Eighth regiment, and subsequently
colonel of the Fifty-third. At the siege
of Vicksburg he acted as brigadier-gen.
eral. The wound IN the left leg, from
which he still suffers, was received be.
fore Atlanta. 1t necessitated his re-
tirement from military duty for nearly
year. Mr.. Gresham afterwards acted
as military commander of the Natchez
district, and put down the cotton thieves
investing it with stern hand. In 1866
he was candidate for Congress against
Speaker Kerr, and succeeded in reduc-
ing the Democratic majority in the dis
trict. President Grant not finding it
practicable to make him Secretary OF
the Interior, appointed him collector at
New Orleans. subsequently Nh. Gresham
was appointed to succeed the late Judge
Mcdonald as United States district
judge. He was holding that position
when nominated for Postmaster-Gene
in April, 1883. In 1880 he was an un-
successful candidate for the United
States Senate. AS Postmaster-Gener
he gave great satisfaction, and his ap-
pointment to succeed Mr.. Folser as Sec
retary of the Treasury is generally ap-
proved.
Secretary Gresham has meyer been
conspicuous as party man. He worked
for the nomination of Bristow to the
Presidency in 1876 and Of Gen. Grant
in 1880. This year he was himself
spoken of as clark horse" for the Re-
publican nomination.
He is handsome. man, tall. dark
complexioned and possessing well-cut
features. His ability as public speaker
is superior, and he is well equipped for
usefulness by superior natural ability
and more than considerable learning.

tain us with an account of his latest
practical joke. This reminded HIM of a
personal experience on a steamboat,
which, in turn led him on to descrip-
ton of his life on the Mississippi. He
talked on without pause, holding our
closest interest by his art:ul blending of
humor, pathos, vivid description and
thrilling incident, until at length, break
ing off suddenly, he said with laugh:

JOHN MCCULLOUGH.
A Pathetic Scene During His Last Chicago
Rehearsal.

There was pathetic scene in the
theatre in the morning, says the Chicago
Tribune, when the members of the COM
pany, to hum or Mccullough, consented
to rehearse Richelieu, although they
knew that the management had declared
the engagement at an end. Mccullough
himself insisted that he would continue
to play, and so the rehearsal went on,
for all his old associates were anxious to
crafty his strange whim. He struggled
through the lines of the part of the great
cardinal, now and then uttering SEN
tences from Virginius, the Gladiator,
and other fayorite plays. At last he
came to the curse scene, and there was
a momentary CLEAN of his former fire
as the splendid and powerful words fell
from his lips. Some of the members of
the company who were sitting in the
parquette began toapplaud, and touched
by this sudden exhibition of sympathy.
the actor burst into tears. AS he wept,
the fond illusion Of power that he cher
ished seemed to. fall away from him
Then the play went on, and Mr.. Lane
uttered line descriptive of the Cardi-
nails breaking strength. Mccullough
