There is considerable discussion going
on just now in this state and especially
in the grazing districts, as to the value
of sorghum as a feed for cattle, and as
far as we have followed the discussion
there are as many opinions as there are
persons discussing the subject. One
writer will declare positively that his
stock have grown poor while eating the
cane, and another with equal experience
will as firmly advocate this feed as be-
ing superior to corn or any other cattle
feed.
We have lately conversed with sever
al stOckmen of this county, and find
that here also there are many differen-
ces of opinion. One, who tested this
feed on a lot of beeves-he had, says they
did well on sorghum until itwas frozen
the FIRST time, and then they actually
lost flesh though supplied with all the
sorghum they could eat But he was
satisfied that if one had enough of the
tops TO supply his cattle with that, they
would prosper. And he further thought
that il the corn was cut and stacked in
ricks large enough to prevent it from
fieezing, that it might Be as good as any
other feed.
But here comes another stockman
who is feeding three hundred cattle on
sTghum. who says that his stock are
actually fattening on il but he claims
the secret is All in the variety OF cane.

there is, and the greater the probability
Of it freezing and becoming sour and
unwholesome. Another thing, he does
not belive in cutting the cane until it is
ripe, and says that no fruit OF vegetable
being fit for use until it is ripe, the rule
must work in the case Of sorghum.
We would like To have the experience
OF n number Of cur stockmen on this
matter, and will ask that those who
have been giving sorghum fair test
write the results and send the same to
us for publication.
II is to the interest of every stockman
To know the truth, and if sorghum is
good as feed, let us know it. If there is
a proper way to cure and preserve it, let
us learn it. If there is one variety bet

the name of it.

We had learned to believe that our
neighbor, the CTesset. priced its prohi-
bitiOn doctrines above its republican
ism, above its religious views, above
everything it has; but it appears we are
mistaken, and that prohibition is Onlya
secondary consideration. a light came
to us this week, in the last issue Of the
Cresset, through an article that appear
ed. As is known, the prohibitionistso of
the country propoee having a national
convention at Pittsburg this season,
and propose nominating a presidetial
ticket. The newspaper that lately ap-
peared in this county, the Hazelton Ex-
press, in well written article favors
the Pittsburg convention, and intimates
that 1t will support the nominees of that
convention, and the Express being,a re-
publican paper, or at least claims to be,
its OutspOken position alarms the re-
publican contemporary in this city.
The Cresset says: I'VE are surprised
because the Express pretends to be re-
publican paper, while it well knows that
the convention at Pittsburg will nomi-
nate a national ticket and the bulk of
the votes which may be cast for that
ticket, will be drawn from the republi-
can party"
We are hoping that there will be
many more republican papers in Kansas
favor the Pittsburg convention, as the
Express is doing, and then we want to
see other republican papers "haul them
over the GOALS" read them out of the
party, refuse to give them seats at the
republican table. We want to see this
question of prohibition stirred up more
in the republican party, feeling conf
dent that it will break up that party
eventually, and the sooner the better,
we say.
But the Express need not go away OF
to the Pittsburg convention to get full
dose of prohibition resolutions and pro-
hibition buncOmbe for if it will step
into the state republican convention to
be held at Topeka to nominate state
ticket, it can be accommodated the
subject is coming up there. The Cresset
may not think so, or desire it, but just
the same the republican party in this
state wants another strong dose, and are
going to have it.
We hope, in the meantime, that the
Cresset and the Express will keep up a
discussion of the subject. The more it
is agitated the more harm it can do the
republican party.

Caldwell Standard The program for
the week of festivity in Caldwell, Kan
sas, commencing March Ilth, 1884. in
cludes many attractive features. The
first day, March l1th, will be devoted
exclusively TO the transaction of the bu-
siness Of the Stockmen's Association.
On "Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
there will be races, running and trot-
ting, and liberal purses will be given to
all winning horses. There will be a
good many fast steppers in from the
range, and several local flyers will be
entered for prizes. 1t is expected also
that horsemen from several adjoining
counties will be present with fast stock.
On Thursday night there will be a
grand ball and banquet at the Opera
House. The citizens are sparing no
pains to make this the most enjoyable
annual gathering Of the stockmen ever
held in this city.

Those Of our Barber county stockmen
who have been engaged i'm the unprofit-
able business OF supplying bulls for
their own herds and those of their neigh
bors, might get the Stock Growers As
sociation to adopt a resolution similar
to the one adopted 10y the stock men of
Colfax county, New Mexico. There
were lot of 'spOnges" holding cattle
on that range, and the other stOckmen
tired of furnishing the seed stock for
them and at n recent meeting adopted
the following resolutions
RESOLVED, That il is the sense Of this
meeting that every person or company
owning stock on the range shall furnish
their proper proportion of bulls To Sc
cure a fun crop OF calves in the future !;
therefore,
RESOLVED, That IL is the sense Of
this meeting that every person or com
pany owning or having charge of stock
upon this range shall, between the first
day Of April and first day of july, 1851.
furnish and turn loose three good grade
bulls to every hundred heifer calves

ports Of losses have been slow in getting
north. This season, already, that fav-
ored country appears to have been even
more unfortunate than this part of
Kansas and the Territory south of here,
according to tine Texas Livestock
Journal of the I'D inst, for it says:
I'VE know rs tue time draws near for
range rOund-ups, anu the usual sales
and change OF ownership Of young stock
cattle for the drive and of stocks for fit-
ting mp new ranches, that there is great
anxiety, both at home and abroad, as to
the condition Of cattle upon the range.
10 satisfy this anxiety we have made
dilligent inquiry and iiud as we go to
press answers from most OF the grazing
fields Of Texas commencing with the
coast country IN Southwest Texas, we
ind the losses in a few isolated cases
have been quite heavy among old cows
whose ribs had not been weatherbOard-
ed with flesh enough TO keep off the
cold, but young stock have in that re-
giOn stood the storm better than could
have been looked for, after the dry sum
mer and scant herbage Of fall. Coming
10 Middle and West Texas proper, the
losses have been slight, aud in North
west Texas and in the Pan Handle and
Pecos country lOsses have been confined
entirely TO cattle that were driven in
during last summer and late fall from
scant pasturage. Taken in the apgre.
gate the losses have been much lighter
than our fears anticipated, and the chill
~, slCety weather made probable. Many
Cattle are vet in danger of death from
the festive heel-ily and scant supply of
grass. The warm rains preceding the
severe cold snap of last week were a
benefit rather than injury, and the short
duration Of the intense cold, followed
a IT has been 10y warm sunshine, has
not hurt the cattle"

OF late we have heard but little con-
cerning the proposed national cOnven-
tion of stOckmen to he held in st. Louis
next fall. But We understand that res
ponses to the call have been received
from nearly every portion Of the grazing
country, and the stock growing centres.
and that undoubtedly the convention
WI be held.
We hops that the exciting political
campaign to occur this year will not
cause this nloposed meeting to be for
gotten. II should by all means be held,
either at St. Louis, Kansas City or Chi
cago. a national organization of stock
men would do much towards tulishten-
ing congress on just such questions as
are now before that body, the organiza-
tion Of u commission on animal indus
try, for instance.

1t appears now that the Kansas rail-
road commissioners have been compelled
TO back down, to some extent, from the
independent position they assumed a
few days since /; for already they have
suspended the operations of the sched-
ule Of freight rates they fixed for the
Santa Fe railroad. That schedule was
made on the 10th inst, and on the 22d
inst. the board issued an order suspend
ing its operation until 1t can re-hear and
re-examine complaints that have been
made to the board by the original par.
ties against the Santa Fe. The rates
fixed by the board gave great dissatis-
faction to many of the cities and manu-
featuring centres Of Kansas, as, instead
OF decreasing rates between local points
the schedule increased them. And then
the railroad company succeeded in
working up a considerable amount of
sympathy in its cause, and the couse-
quence Is that the board hardly knows
now whether il can bess please the peo-
pie by meddling with the rates or By let
ting them alone.
The Santa Fe has made smart move
In the meantime. Seeing that the sched-
uie made by the commissioners was
very unpopular, it has ordered the same
to remain in operation on its road until
the board has determined definitely
what 1t viii do. OF course this is done
to create a big disgust on the part of
the people. and TO render the board .tin
more unpopular.
We figure il now that this fight be-
tween the road and the board will he
kept mp during all of this year; that the
people viii become disguised with the
whole proceeding and that the next leg
islature will either repeal the law under
which the board was created or so mod
ify II that II will be harmless.

A Missouri congressman, Mr.. Hatch,
from the Hannibal district, is not afraid
to talk out in meeting" The other
day in congress he was making speech
in support of the pleuro-pneumonia bill,
and in his remarks took occasion to ad-
minister a few blows to the national
democratic committee for selecting Chi
cago as the place for the national con-
veEtion. He ridiculed the fear express
ed BY opponents of the bill that it would
provide for large number of federal
officials to work against the democratic
party. He was not afraid of few more
Office holders. That was not what the
democratic party had to fear. What the
democratic party wanted was funerals
funerals in New York, funerals in In
diana, funerals in Ohio. 1t wanted to
bury some of the barnacles and corpses
hanging to it. 1t had the national COM
mittee sit here few days ago, and the
majority of that committee did not
have originality or independence enough
to find place in the United States
wherein to hold convention outside of
the place where the republican conven-
tion was 70 be held. He had travelled
long enough in the wake Of old barna-
cles of the democratic party, following
the republican party. He wanted lit
tie new blood in it, a little independence
in it, little originality in it. Before
he would have followed the republican
party to Chicago he would have gone to
Los Angeles. lie would have gone
where the thermometer reached four
hundred degrees below zero, or three
hundred degrees above boiling point,
rather than have gone TO Chicago. He
would have had the democratic party
possess independence enough to strike
out for once on its own hook.

A dispatch from Little Rock. Ark

~ ulhpdNCn lIOu Llllle 1eOck, Ark.,
says
The mortality among stock through
out Indian Territory has been very
great. In the Cherokee Nation the per
centage Of loss is thought to be so per
cent. on many ranges. The estimated
loss is placed ut twO-thirds. The sur
viving portions of the herds are in very
poor condition, and large numbers will
die before the winter is over, even with
favorable weather. This unusual NOR
tality is attributed to extensive prairie
fires during the fall, and to recent heavy
rains, which caused the grass To rot in
the pastures. One of the large stock
men in the Cherokee country reports
that out of 100 head he counted 900 dead
ones. On another range, out of herd
of 900 twO-thirdS have already perish
ed. Losses or similar magnitude are
reported from all the ranges along the
VeTdigriS and Grand rivers. Much feel
ing prevails among cattle men as to the
immense falling off which the spring
roundup will show"
Such may be the case in parts Of the
Indian Territory, but from information
received from all points in the Cherokee
Strip we learn that the losses have not
amounted to anything to speak of, and
that cattle are doing as well as could be
asked. The sleet that appears to have
caused so much trouble in the south
east, south and in the Panhandle coun-
try did not seriously discommode cattle
on the Strip, or they took refuge in the
canyons and timber and were not him
dered from getting grass every day.
We have seen number of parties
from the range directly south of this
county and COmanche, and they give
but one report, and that is that cattle
have not suffered this season, and that
no deaths have occurred from starya-
ton.

Tomorrow is the day appointed for
the special election in the Second con-
gressional district, and by next week we
will know who is TO be the successor of
Haskell. Most likely it will be Funston,
the republican nominee, for the opinion
is fast gaining ground that he can de-
feat Mr.. Riggs, the nominee of the op-
position. We can't say that there will
be any severe regrets among democrats,
for both of the men belong TO the oppo-
sitiOn, to all intents. Riggs is a green
backer, has for years worked and voted
against democrats, and would not be in
the present fight if he were not man
who would sell his political birth-right.
He appears TO have the support of q few
sore head republicans who would have
as willingly voted for democrat, his
greenback partisans aud fair per cent.
of the democrats, but it is exceedingly
doubtful if all these combined can elect
Mr.. Riggs.
And why should lie be elected as a
democrat Time and experience has
demonstrated that a greenbacker is al
ways unreliable when his assistance is
needed by the democrats. He is like the
state of Ohio, and frequently the Ger
man vote they are for the democrats
when not needed, and against them
when they are needed.
Had Hon. Nelson +. Acres, or Judge
y. A. Harris, or any good democrat
been nominated in the second district,
there would have been reason for rejoic-
ing over any victory they might attain !;
but if Riggs were elected there is no
certainty that he would vote with the
democrats in congress on any close
question and the chances are about
even that he would take sides with the
republicans.
AS between straight republican and
an independent or a greenbacker, we
prefer the republican.
