Texas Live Stock Journal: Now that
the quarantine laws seem to be inevitable ia
most of the states, which when enforced,
as they will be through tile fall, Twill ef-
fectually cut Off all outlet for Texas cattle
except by rail, it begins to look US though
national cattle trail were the only alter
native remaining for the stockmcn Of Tex
as. Congress has authority to appropriate
for this purpose sufficient portion of the
public domain to meet all requirements,
through from north Texas to the northern
extremity of the grazing lands of our
country. The land required is already In
the main the property of the general gov
eminent. This trail, once established by
an act Of congress, would forever secure to
for their herds, and would to some extent
make them independent of the railroads.
The railways trlversing this state now
carry cattle at reasonable rates, but when
once all other outlets are efIectually closed,
the cattle interests Of the state would be
at the mercy of these corporations and be
taxed, perhaps, to such an extent as to Sc
riously cripple the business anu depreciate
the value Of stock. This matter well
worthy the careful consideration Of all in
terestcd, and should at once receive the at
tcntion OF stockmen everywhere, in order
that when the national convention meets
Intelligent and harmonious action may be
taken on this most important subject.
This Is 4 question of vital interest 10 the
entire grazing region of this country, and
we will industriously labor to secure the
establishment of permanent outlet TO
the northwest.

Under Mr.. MeNeal's promise, he would
vote against resubmission because 25l vot-

749 voters who would have no voice, who
would practically be without representa-

But Mr.. McNeal's proposition does not
meet with favor in his own party any more
han it does among his political opponents.
Mr. Garrison, tho acknowledged prohibi-
ton leader In this county, was so much
dissatisfied with this wishy- washy propo-
sition that he determined to be an indepen-
dent republican candidate, though he has
heretofore acted in harmony with his party
on all matters. The Hazelton Express, a
regular republican paper, docs not like Mr..
McNcal's position, and 1t Is frank TO say
ave do not like the cOurse Mc,has taken
in declaring himself ready to cater to the
wishes of the people, though it.cost him a
sacrifice OF principle. The opposing party
Is smart enough to see the advantage they
gain over republicans by the submission OF
their leading candidate, and. are. chuckling
over It in this part of the country. The
issue here Is, republican and prohibition
democratic and anti-prohibition, and moth
ing else will win here In Hazelton."
This is but the beginning Of what may
be expected.
The Sharon paper did its kicking carly,
and 1t will not likely get over its bad
humor in time to do anything good for
Bro. McNeal in the present contest.
