1886. As compared with last year, cat
tie which sold in the fall of 1887 in Chica-
20 at $50 have been corn fed at a cost Of
$50 per head and marketed last month at
from sos TO $50 per head, thus Welding a
handsome profit. The past comparatively
mild winter on the ranges has also CON
tributed in improving the condition of
cattle, and they came through it in bet.
ter shape than for three years past. The
recovery in the depression of the cattle
business has put stockmen on guard to
avoid overstocking the ranges. 1t is there
fore certain that the excuses in sending
vast herds into the territory which caused
the decline in 1884 will not again be re-
peated.'f

NOBODY is now rash enough to predict
when congress will adjourn. The Wash
ington correspondent of the New York
Sun, writing about the tariff tinkering in
the senate, says: Sat present there is but
one schedule of the bill completed, and In
the shape IN which it will be when finally
reported. This is the whisky schedule,
which will abolish the duties upon fruit
brandies and spirits used in the arts.
Nothing has been definitely decided yet
about the tobacco schedule, but there is
no doubt that the entire tax will be re.
moved. including that upon cigars, cigar
cites and cheroots. The metal schedule
has not yet been arranged, and it is not
known just what the amount of reduction
will be. There will be a -rearrangemen Of
the wool and woollen schedules, and the
tariff upon wool will be left about as it is
now. The tariff of 1867 will not be re.
stored.
The news that the tariff of 81 is not to
be restored will break the great Ohio
heart.

Webster is one of the solid
towns of Dakota. Started some
seven years ago, it has had a steady,
healthy growth--at no time has it
been doomed, its growth being de-
cidedly behind the country. 1t is
pleasantly located, and is surroun-
ded on the north, east and south by
a itch farming country whose mar
ket is at this place. Business is
increasing, and the future
of this pleasant village is indeed
flattering. 1t is inhabited by
thrifty class Of people--men who
have the good of the town at heart.
At present we are possessed of
fairly distributed business interest.
All classes of industry and trade
are easily made to yield an income
to all persons possessing push and
energy; hence we say to all parties
desilou of locating in the west,
come to Webster, look at the sur
rounding country, have chat with
our business men, and you will have
no desire to look further.

The third party platform, adop-
ted by the prohibition convention
at indianapolis, is a political curl
osity. 1t occupies both sides of the
fence with remarkable equinimity
on the tariff question. AS a vote
catcher, it puts in sort of woman
suffrage plank. 1t has not one word
to say about the subject of fraudu-
lent voting in the south. There is
no reference to the soldier who
maintained the union; no word of
sympathy for the freedman. The
present administration is not allu-
ded to--no doubt because the party
is kind of "annex" to Democracy.
We can heartily endorse its prohib-
itory plank, its condemnation of
polygamy; aside from these the
platform is meaningless jargon.
