 Globe Stock Journal: The nor thern countries are now rolling into Chicago their 200 and 1 300 pound 1 beef steers, while Texas proper are supplying the market with 800 to $50 pound dogies. Thus it may l be observed, while Texas is the boss breeding country, the north west is by a large majority the best beefng and maturing section in the United States for range beef. It takes climate even to raise beef steer.
 La Junta, Colorado, Tribune Cattlemen will find that they will be much better off without fences than with them, and they should obey the order for removal in the proper spirit. There will be no preference given anyone, and there will be less clashing than heretofore. It was a very selfish spirit that in augurated the system, and only goes to show that there are a few people left who want the earth. It was the large syndicates that com pelled the small holders to adopt the policy, but the order for re- moval eompels them to take a place of equality with their less avaricious neighbors. All hail to President Cleveland.
