"Whyr' asked.
Because think bankrupt law a curse
to our section, outside the greatest wholesale
centers. 1t would. Of course, enable ths
bankers and wholesale men in certain To-
calties to get final settlements with slow
creditors, but 1t would be very detrimental
to the country. 1t would do great damage
to new portions of the country.
1t unsettles business and shakes
confidence. We are passing over crisis.

fciently we'll provided with stock ranches
and stock to supply all the demands made
upon them for beef and mutton, they con-
tend, and the facilities of those States and
Territories are ample to supply the demands
a any time in the future, not only for home
consumption, but for expectation.
ITO open such highwsy by act of Con-
gress," said q Kansas member to-day,
would be granting the right to take cattle
at all times from Texas and Chihuahua ID
any ef the States and Territories north.
Now, il is well known that those southern
regions, where the altitude is low and the
climate is warm, afford the seat of almost all
the diseases and epidemics so fatal to stock,
while the northern regions are healthy, and
the best and healthiest beef is raised there.
The natural consequence would be that
when disease Of the cattle started in the
south, the malady would come with the cat
tie drive and the whole northern country
would get it,"
So the measure is to be fought on the
ground that it would be a bad sanitary move
yet the real motive that will prompt most of
the opposition will be the fact that Texas
cattle will come more directly in competi.
tion with the States and Territories North

WAsHINGToN, Jan. 29.-The points that are
being made against the treaties in executive
sessions OF the Senate, and foreshadowed by
these dispatches, are regarded as having
practically determined that none of the
treaties can be carried into effect by acts OF
this Congress-. The Democrats refuse to
shoulder upon the incoming administration
any experiment or any new laws which
would interfere with any general, foancial
or commercial policy Mr.. Cleveland may de-
sire to promulgate.
1t is strted in the highest Democratic
circles that Mr.. Cleveland has said that he
preferred to not have the treaties ratified at
this time, and 1t is presumed that is the
reason the leaders of his party in the Senate
are opposing them.
