Nv essociaIloa has made srrar gements
1--we introduced In every legislature
efis meets this winter, bill establishing
Focal cattle inspection, IS set forth
IN the resolutions passed oy the
convention ct S.. Luis; and COL
onel J. D. .Bsoadbesd, PRECEDENT OF the
American Bar Association, Is now pre-.
pIring draft Of the measure desired.
The COMMITTEES OF the association having
tae business in charge will go to Work st
once TO have the msosure acted upon.
AlresdY, before the bill has been drafted,

intention Cf entering in q body; ami II is
though that in four months fund OF
from Sl2. goo TO Sis. 0G0 will have been
secured with which to carry on the e sht.
The fIht will have to be made By the
general public as well sc by the catslemen
and butchers, for II the latter
were never 50 strongly Ia
favor Ct the movement they could do
nothing toward IL without the aid Of the
conapme.s. Tae diff ;ulty of the work Of
educating the public IN the matter is en-
hxnced BY the feet that great part Of the
press n the west Is hindered from pub
fishing i;s sentiments; Tor the live stock
papers, upon which thu cattlemen ard
farmers depend moa'ly foT their
infoTlna ion, are largely depend
ant for their patronage upon theee
meat m nopolists CT their sgentF,
snc anything those papers might say
derogstory to the combine would be In
the nature oi cutting their own threats.

tlemen hive learned 20 lock IS their
friends as ngAiDs: the combine, are no:
able to take active part in the fight on

Il is even ssid there was talk in Chicago
and 81 Louis Of bovcottiDg the cattle ola

took prominent part n the 81. L Juls
convention.
What the new association considers its
strongest card IL the fight it has on hand
&c the support to be gained by the people
of the west Of the butchers Of the east to
the deep water pref ct On TIE COST OF
Texas. The oti cG Of the butchers In the
contest is the securing Of naturally dis
tributed competitive mSIksts throughout
the country, and in orueT to gsia tits OBJ
Jet they SEE tIey ought TO secure
an outlet somewhere on the eOuth'
