CapitOlian-AdvOcate.

The Shreveport Times has come to
the conclusion that the beautiful theo-
ry of two parties made up of equal pro-
portions Of whites and blacks, won't
work. 1t was tried in Virginia at the
instigation of Malone, and the conse-
quence was general onslaught by the
bulk of the white people, under the
Democratic banner, to break up the
Malone Republican combination. Be-
fore the white people of Louisiana un-
dertake the experiment they ought to
give people who don't feel like fritter-
ing away another quarter of century,
a chance to pull up stakes.
Upon this subject the Times says
When editors in Louisiana talk of d.
viding the whites and blacks in very
nearly equal proportions politically,
they betray an intimate ignorance of
the nature of the negro. The vote of
the black race is almost selidly pur-
win in any contest where the negro
holds the balance of power. We must
endure great deal of white misgovern-
ment before rebelling. Let this "two-
parties" talk cease.
The nomination of Mr.. Newton is not
to be taken as having the slightest
bearing on administration or anti-ad
ministration politics. In truth, as we
have said before, the opposition to Gen.
King was personal rather than fac
tional, and came from every quarter of
the political globe. Some thought him
a man Of slight ability others thought
him a man given to too much promise
and too little fulfillment, while others
disliked him for his course in the Boat
ner fight two years ago. Others still
disliked him because he had been sue
cessfu1, for there are some who cannot
endure the continued success sof any
man. But, in truth, the opposition had
nothing to do with administration or
anti-administration, and those who
know can SO testify.-Shreveport Times.

The outbreak Of plouro-pneumonia
among cattle near Chicago has otca-
stoned widespread alarm throughout
the East, and while Western stock
men may congratulate themselves that
the dreaded disease is 80 far removed
from them, yet they should remember
that with the importation Of blooded
stock to the Western Territories from
the Mississippi Valley, constantly 60
ing on, danger to range cattle from
this insidious disease, does exist aud
the stock laws Of this Territory afford
no protection from IL. The North
western Live. Stock journal says,
Wyoming will at once protect itself
by a rigid quarantine. This Terrific.
ry has in operation strict quarantine
system, and while Illinois IS not 'on
the list we can readily protect our
selves for a few days until the facts
can be obtained The Journal he
lieyes that self-preservation is the first
law Of nature, and that the quaran-
tine should be made as soon as the
facts are learned to be of such ma
ture as to warrant the belief that in
feotious disease exists where reported 7

In our last, and previous issues Of
the BELT, we questioned the frequent
statement of Arizona journals, that
Geronimo's surrender was uncondi-
tional, We now have stronger rca-
sons for ayerring that Geronimo die
tated terms, that his relinQuishiug of
the war path was not at his sugges-
ton, and that peace measures were
discussed by him and Lieut. Gatewood
when Capt. Lawton was not within
several days march of the place of con
ference. Gatewood left Fort Apache
in June last, under instruction to find
Geronimo and inform him that the
Government was desirous of ending
"the war" Gatewood was accompa-
MED by two Chiricahuas, Mr.. Horn
and a small number Of troops. The
Chiricahuas and Horn were the first
to discover GeronImo's camp and in
formed MIN that Lieut. Gatewood was
in hls vicinity and was desirous Of
having a talk with him, and, upon the
assent OF Geronimo, a conference was
held which paved the way TO further
talk that resulted in the re-establish.
ment Of amicable relations.

was presented with a gold watch and

Mexico Cattle Association. These
merited recognitions are strongly in

duct Of the Chiricahua campaign had
rescued New Mexico and Arizona from

The outbreak Of pleuro-pneumonia
is serious blow to the live stock
trade of Chicago. The estimated value
of the cattle to be slaughtered is $75,-
600 and the available State appropri.
ation$ amount to only $4,000 In or
der to avoid a deficit the State Live
Stock Commission avow their inten-
tion OF making separate inspection
Of every COW slaughtered aud those
whose lungs appear healthy will be
sold for beef. This plan is strenuous
ly opposed by dealers and packers as
suicidal They aver that the result
will be disastrous to Chieago's dressed
beef trade with the East, which will
be diverted TO other markets. All the
adjoining States will quarantine
against Illinois.

The people Of Arizona are profound.
ly grateful to the ladies of San Anto-
nio, Texas, for the attention bestowed
upon Geronimo and his lamb-like fol-
lowers. They have not only given
them belly-timber of rarest kind, but
have dissipated the noisome alfiuyia
which has attended them from birth,
with rarest flowers and distillatlon
Of viOletS and gifts Of much needed
fine-tooth combs. They have also
clothed the squaws IN purple and fno

Free Press finds fault and rates the
ladies for their exhibition Of melting
charity to the benighted children Of
the mountains and plains, and unfeel-
ingly alludes TO Geronimo's butcheries
IN New Mexico, Arizona and Sonora,
with the evident intention Of wound
ing that gentleman's feelings. We
think the Free Press is altogether too
free in ITS illusions to the hitherto
bloody character Of the Uhiricahua
chief, whom it should have taken uu-
der its charitable wing, and at ftting

a correspondent Of Che Argonalit
writes Of the immense henefitthat has
accrued to Monterey county, CaHfor
MIA, through the building Of railroads.
/ The writer says; "The whole country
was hardly worth paying taxes upon,
and, outside Cattie-raising, there was
nothing Tor any one to Go. -
The great public land region in the
southern part Of the county, and IN
the Sur country. south Of Monterey,
was one vast unoccuped waste, No
one had Che temerity to enter the pub
lic lands and carve out home by pro-
empton, because a hermit would have
starved to death there. The
hncst land in the state nj sixty-fve
cents an acre and no one to buy il!
q But at last, as if 10y magic, a
great change took place, The cry "a
railroad is connngI was heard all over
the country. The railroad came and
with it the country Gwoko from its
sleep, Saline City, from a population
of $50 people, grew into busy, active
town OF at least 4,500 people
The idle carpenter and laborer were
invited to come among us, and they
found remuuerative empIoymont Did
the railroad lniure them? In
stead Of paying exorbitaut prices for
goods as in the days before the sound
Of the steam whistle ecboiug among
the Gabilan hills, the poor man can
now purchase almost every article of
merchandise at a price as cheap as in
San Francisco. Instead of land
selling at siXty-dye cents an acre, it
rates to-day from fifty to three-hund.
red dollars per acre. The dawn
of a new era, laden with the dew Of
| prosperity, is raising upon Monterey
country. And what brought iii?

( We commend a careful porusal of this
letter by intelligent aud honest,mind-
ed persons in all parts Of the State

/ dustrious and enterprlsing person,

they, and the country in which they
