Austin, January 26.-The senate to-

bill, No. IS, with amendments, re-
ported from the committee on stock
and stuCk-raising, TO whom was re-
ferred the remnants of the Terrell
bill, and added two important amend

on any person who shall permit his
cattle To Craze on school, asylum and
university land not leased, and the
second fine of 5000 and imprison.
ment in the county Jail for fencing

without authority. These two
provisions taken together are regarded
by cattlemen as a more complete herd
law than that concealed in the Terrell
bill, and when it Is remembered that
all leases are 10 be subject to sale to ac
tual settlers, the hardship is apparent,
and the practical withdrawal of the
lands from market except for pur-
chase by actual settlers is the logical Sc
quence. This might be very good
policy, but 1t ID contended will drive
all the small cattlemen from the

TOR CONGRESS-.

Lakefield Citizen: The Citizen is also
of the opinion that James 3. Wakefield
is to return without opposition, for the
reason that none desire to enter the
campaign against him. 1t has long been
customary to give good and able
member a second term, and this shall
be no exception to the rule, we trust.
When the proper time arrives we know
of no better or more available candidate
than Judge George W. Wilson. But
in this campaign it is hats up for Ex-
Governor James B. Wakefield.
Lakefjeld Citizen: We notice that
several papers of this district have sue-
gested the name of Judge Wilson, of
WOrthingtOr, as a candidate for con-
gress. We believe that it is news to
Mr.. Wilson and that his name has been
mentioned without his consent. The
people of the Second district are dis
posed to return Mr.. Jas. B. Wakefield,
and the Citizen would like to see this
done without opposition. They rec
ognize in him III able, hard working
member, and while some other men,
bers have been absent from their line of
duty. looking after the condition of
matters political. Mr.. Wakefield has
been in his seat attending to the many
wants Of his constituents. The Citizen
is All admirer of Judge Wilson and for
this reason we do not want to see him
60 into the canvass only to be sacri-
feed. That Mr.. Waketield's career in
Congress has been both brilliant and
successful is admitted by his political
enemies. What better endorsement
does man want? When the proper
time arrives the Citizen can freely give
its support to Judge Wilson. but not
now. We do not believe that Mr.. Will
son will, nor cares to enter the field in
this campaign.
Pioneer Press: In the Second, Dem
ocrats havn't the faintest hope, and
were it not for the looks OF it would
BOT nominate against Wakefield, who
is recognized on all sides as his own
successor. Meagher OF Mankato nor
Lamberton of St. Peter couldn't he in
duced to take the non ination, and
| there is Il sad lack of congressional
| timber. Waketield's vote on the Nor
| rison bill set him straight with the free
traders from whom alone, within his
own party. he had need to fear the
slightest opposition. 1t is likely to
prove a nomination by acclamation and
| an election by the most comforting of
majorities in the case of J. ID. Wake
| field.
Lake Benton News: It looks very
much us though there would be little
