THE CATTLE BARONs.
THEIR SIDE OF THE QUESTION As
PRESENTED FROM SAN ANGELO.
TO the Editor of the Statesman

PRESENTED FROM SAN ANGELO.
To the Editor of the Statesman
SAN ANGELO, January 20.Your edito-
rial, "The Stockmen's Platform" is so
comprehensive and just, with one excep-
ton, that can but feel that it is misin-
formation, and that only, which caused
you to make mistake, and do an njus-
tice, which has too often been done by the
press of Texas to a class of her most pro-
gressive citizens, and | wish to call your
attention to it, and ask you to allow this
correction to be public, and | feel TO
doubt you will. This is what you say:
at is well known that actual settlers or
small landowners have been inundated
and driven off by the more powerful cat
tie barons."
Living as do, in the midst of pastures,
and of actual settlers who own land and
who have taken up land in pastures, L
must tell you the above is mistake which
does violent although l believe, on your
part, unintentional) injustice to the citi-
zens of West Texas who are so fortu-
nate as to own moderate amount
of cattle and land, and so unfortu-
nate as to be classed as opulent
'cattle barons." No such intimidation
has ever occurred within my actual know
ledge, nor have / ever seen an authenti
Gated report published, and doubtless you
cannot recall more than general report
upon which you spoke. The rumor has
been so much promulgated that persons
who do not really know, believe in its
truth. If any isolated cases have oc-
Cured, they certainly are not of suffi-
cient number to constitute class, either
of oppressed settlers or overbearing
barons. As rule owners of stock are per-
fectly willing for the would-be agricultur-
list to settle on state land near them, pro-
vided they do not buy quarter section
and run stock enough for ten times that
amount of grass thing sometimes done,
even in pastures, under the sale-of-leased-
land rule of the land board; cattlemen
certainly wish the country settled agricul-
turally, if it can be done; they nearly
all owa land and would
certainly be foolish to object to having its
value so much enhanced. | know you de-
sire nothing unjustly prejudicial to any
one, and if you will sift these matters you
will discover that the great cry of oppres-
sion and opposition to actual settlers, and
resistance to the execution of the law in
west Texas, is as false as it general, and,
like most rumors, was originated with in
terested and prejudiced parties, who care
nothing for truth, nor the effect OF their
falsehoods. M.
Though we still hold to what we said,
the above is inserted as matter of justice
to the class of which our correspondent
claims to be one.-ED. STATEsMAN.

Already there is question raised as tc

Already there is question raised as to
the exact meaning of the new law relating
to the presidential succession. Would
secretary of state succeeding to the presi-
Dental Office remain secretary of state
and discharge his new duties by virtue OF
his position as secretary of slater II
not, he would as acting president appoint
a new secretary of state. In this event.
would the new secretary be the next in the
line of succession, with the right in turn
TO appoint his own successor in case he
succeeded to the presidency? Again, there
is great diversity of opinion as to the
working of the new law in case presi-
deaf and -president-elect were both
to die between the meeting of the elect
oral colleges and the counting of the
electoral vote. 1t has been suggested that
if the bill is signed congress proceed at its
leisure to frame new act that will cover
all cases.

cry under which the south can command
the situation. That is !, bale to the acre,
or full corn cribs, a big compost heap
and a home on the farm" Frankly,
now, hasn't this broad-shouldered young
farmer, with his steel-like sinews, his un-
troubled sleep, come nearer to solving the
problem than those of us who, aiming at
glittering heights, are fighting and STUN

THE SONG OF THE JOKE.

THE SONG OF THE JOKE.
With hair all tumbled and tossed,
With brain top-heavy with fun,
A funny man sat in his dingy den,
Trying to make pun.
Write. write. write!
Half hid in tobacco smoke.
And still with voice of dolorous pitch,
He sang "'rhe Song of the Joke
Joke! joke! joke,
While the printer yells, "Cop-ee."
And ioke-ioke--
With never smile of glee
And it's, oh, to be calm,
In the rcstful mud to Turk,
Where American humoT never comes,
If this be Christian work.
Jokes of the sealskin sacque:
Jokes of Chicago feet;
Jokes of my dear old mother in-law;
Jokes of clearinghouse meat,
Jokes of the icecream girl:
And likewise of Thomas Cats:
What are my wages! The measly cry,
'Chestnut! or even "Rats!''

Asking for Government Employment

Asking for Government Employment
LONDON, Nov. e.-The lord mayors pro-
cession started at the usual hour and pro-
ceeded over the assigned ronte without
anything happening beyond the usual
horse play. The police dispersed the med
ical students, and refused to allow them to
occupy Trafalgar square. One thousand
policemen were posted at the sqnare. The
SCOTS guards were mustered in at St.
Georges barracks, behind the national gal
lery. The crowd about Trafalgar square
at o'clock had grown colossal, the rough
element predominating, and accessions
were constantly arriving. The police lined
the streets converging on the square, They
also surrounded the square, and refused to
permit anyone to enter. When the process
sion passed Trafalgar square it met with
no demonstration on the part of the crowds
except some cheering and hooting, the lat
ter being especially directed at the lord
mayor. After the show had gone by the
mob at once surged over into the square
sons monument A number of men
mounted the pedestal, ssome of these way
ing red flags, and the square soon
became scene of excitement, but the
crowd divided into many small groups, and
no trouble ensued. Among the speakers
was Williams, the socialist leader He de-
clared that the populace would show that
they could hold an orderly meeting to let
the public know the amount of distress
which at present exists among the working
classes. Resolutions asking the govern
ment to provide work for the unemployed
and to reduce to eight the number of hours
constituting, a days work, were carried
amid loud cheering

SHAMEFULLY TRE4TED.
Frothinsham Indicted For Completely in

Frothingham Indicted For Completely in
the Adams Express Robbery.
ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov 9.-About 10 o'clock
this morning one of the Pinkerton detect
ives placed rockingham in carriage at
the Southern hotel and told him he was
about to be taken to the circuit court,
where his habeas corpus case was to be
tried. The detective was evidently under
instructions to consume as much time as
possible in conveying the messenger there.
for the coachman drove his horses at a
walk and over roundabout route. About
three-quarters OF an hour was consumed in
SO doing. When the carriage arrived at
the circuit court, Deputy Sheriff Hartzer
served the warrant and the prisoner was
then taken to the four courts. where he was
locked up. A short time afterwards the
grand jury returned an Indictment against
him charging him with grand larceny and
with receiving stolen property. Twoother
indictments were returned, one against
"Jim Cummings" and the other against
Richard Roe: concerning the identity of
whom nothing is yet known. Mr.. Froth-
ingham was seen at the jail by the report
ers and stoutly asserted that ne was innO-
cent of the robbery; that he had been
shamefully treated all along, and was about
to be maliciously prosecuted.

Senator Sabin On the Situation

ST. PAUL, Nov. 9-United States Senator
Sabin. of Saltwater, was at the Merchants
to-day. He said: "The result of the cleo
ton this year will have no influence over
the vote of 1883, except to awaken the re-
publicans to sense Of their duty, and 1
have no doubt that two years hence Mime
sofa will roll up $4,000 majority for the
grand old party, or. to be conservative, we
will say 10000. In the light of the present
majority in congress, it is, of course, rather
painful for republicans to think that Min
nesota should so far have forgotten its rec
ord of good deeds in the past as to have
elected three democrats to congress, but if
we must have democrats, we have very
good selection, and I don't know how it
could be bettered.

WASHINGTON, Nov 9.-The oleomarga-
rine law has been in operation one week.
The result thus far is surprise to the Off
cials Of the government and will be dis
appointment to the butter men. who were
the original promoters of the bill. The in
ternal revenue officials are surprised at the
large amount of revenue which the govern
ment is likely to receive. The income to
the government from the tax on oleomar-
garine for the full fiscal year will not be
less than $l,0O0,00O, and is most likely to
amount to $1,500,0OO.

Unsuccessful.
The Packers Firm.

CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-The first excitement
of the day at the stock yards occurred at 1
o'clock this afternoon. At that hour word
was sent to the headquarters of the deputy
sheriffs' that their services were needed at
Forty-second and Ashland avenue. Fifty
deputies Immediately hurried to the place,
and were quickly followed by four compa-
MES of militia. An investigation was
made, and it was fonnd that the four dep
uties who had been left to patrol an alley
in the vicinity had been fired on by some
unknown parties. The fire was returned,
but the aggressors escaped.
MYSTERIOUS SHOOTING.
With the exception of the mysterious
shooting of one eff the deputy sheriffs this
afternoon the day at the stock yards has
been uneventful. There are between three
and four thousand men at work. The
militia and sheriff's force with the Town
Lake police preserved the peace. Several
isolated cases of assault upon non-union
men took place, but there was no organized
mob violence. The soldiers do not relish
their stay so well as they thought at first.
The day has been miserable, cold, driz-
zling rain falling continuously, and cold
raw wind blowing. The pickets, in
heavy Overcoats, and wearing fatigue
caps. tramped back and forth in
the mud and slime. wet through and
looking as if they did not regard soldering

Barry to-day called on Mr. Botsford, of the
packers committee, and asked if it was
true that resolutions had been passed in
sisting on the striking Knights renouncing
their allegiance to the order before being
firmative and Mr.. Barry soon left. The
strikers in the vicinity of the yards eagerly
discussed the resolutions and seemed to be
pleased with them. One of tine leaders
said: "The general assembly of Knights
must now take up the fight, as the order
has been attacked" The railroads here are
helping the packers as much as possible.
and it is said they offer to bring Workmen
here and return them free of charge if dis
satisfied.
CARRY THE WAR INTO AFRICA.
In conversation with reporter tonight
Delegate Barry said: "We have pitted our
stomachs against the packers bank ac-
count. 1 met Messrs Bottsford. Hately
and Fowler in the board of trade this morn
ing. They said the report of their determi-
nation to refuse employment to union
men was correct. l appealed to their
reason and sense of justice, but to no effect
They have thrown down the gauntlet, and
we accept the challenge. We will carry the
war into Africa, and leave no stone un-
turned to win an honest victory. By that
mean that we will use the boycott, and
call out the men in their houses wherever
possible"

Youthful Connecticut Burglars.

SAYBRooK, Conn, Nov. 1O.-Two young
burglars, who have been chloroforming and
robbing in this neighborhood, are supposed
to be those under arrest in Hartford named
Gustav Anderson and Eddy Paterson. The
younger is aged II years. They have chlor-
oformed and robbed people in houses at
Saybrook and several adjoining villages.
Their track through the state has been
marked by series of bold burglaries.
Their career appears unexampled in this
state for speed in work and the number of
burglaries committed.
