Why Beet is Low.

Samuel W. Allerton, of East st. Louis
again gives the following as reasons why
beef is low:
First, congress passed the oleomarga
rine bill, not because the product was un.
healthy, for it was proven to be good
wholesome food, but on the pretext to aid
the eastern dairy interests. This put a
direct tax OF so cents on every steer in the
farmers hands, and reduced the value OF
the fat of q steer 50.
Next came the interstate commerce bill,
which has made it cost 81 per head more
to ship cattle from the west to the east
than i'll 1886.
Congress has allowed Germany and all
foreign countries to ship green hides to
this country free of duty, which has broken
our hide market, equal to $3.50 on an
average steer. New York hes now 100000
German hides lately imported free, yet
Germany has so per cent duty on all
our leather.
So you see congress has reduced the
value of steer $3.50, and by allowing
green hides in free of duty $3.50 making
tCtsl reduction on every steer of $500
Take all the cattle that have arrive d at
Chicago, Omaha, Kansas City ard St.
Louis, the buyers and shippers have not
made so cents per head on them.
Now, all that l have herein written is
subject to proof, and is a matter of fact
These facts, with the oversupply of cattle,
are what make the cattle market low.
Yours truly,
SAMUEL W. ALLERroN.

licans, all foreign born voters and the ma
iority of the independents, defeated it.
Democratic anti-prohibitionists are con-
tent with victory in a democratic civil
contest secured by auxiliary votes from
all other parties. Both factions call in
the republican voters, the land and labor
marty voters and all the spotted and
striped political nondescripts to decide
a little misunderstanding in the demo-
cratic family. This is the pith of the
Fort Worth declaration. 1t is not bind
ing upon democrats and will not finally
dispose of the issue. If it had been
stated that the majority of the dem
ocratic party had decided the election
upon the prohibition amendment, The con-
vention could have declared the result to
be a final disposition of the question so
far as the party was concerned. But to
predicate that disposition of the issue
upon decision of other parties was an
absurdity. The greatest absurdity, how
ever, was to assume that any party could
any issue that divides party or

Is IT 4 FINALlTYg

A compromise on the prohibition issue
was thought to be necessary at the Fort
Worth convention. 1t was necessary be-
cause democrats believed prohibition
democratic, and other democrats believed
it to be undemoctatic. compromise
between these views was not possible. No
reasonable person could realize a point
of agreement without the complete aban-
donment of principle by one or the other
factions. An abandonment of principle
is no compromise. Then the so-called
compromise was not such in fact, but il
was the complete triumph of one party
and the utter defeat of the other. If the
prohibition democrats abandoned their
position, it was, as set forth in the ninth
clause of the platform, because the people
OF all parties had decided against prohibit
ton. Is it democratic to permit other
parties to decide questions of principle
for the democratic party? If the "true
blue element abandoned the demand for
heart Of oak plank, accepting the declar-
alton that the question is settled by
other than democratic voters, they must
admit the inconsistency of dependency
upon other parties to settle issues in the
democratic party. Democratic prohibi-
tionists abandon prohibition finally be.

THE NoN-PUNIsuMENT OF CRIME.

The situation of affairs at Hampstead
the practical anarchy which reigns ir
that town-has aroused the attention OF
the entire state. All are agreed that the
non punishment of the higher grades OF
crime is the cause of lawlessness not only
in Waller, but in many other localities in
the state. Why does not the crime OF
murder receive the punishment due it in
Texas as it does in Europe? Is it the fault
of the law? Not as general proposition
although it is true the continuance system
is very often used as means of escape
for the guilty, and the plan of selecting
Jurors in our state may need amending.
The immediate responsibility for the
escape of so many assassins and muIderers
in this state rests with the Jurors, who are
the constitutional judges of the evidence
and who have the power of prorouncing
the accused guilty or not, according as
they understand the testimony. That
they have, in numberless cases, turned
loose the most infamous criminals in the
face of the plainest evidence of guilt,
none will deny. With their motives,
whether sympathy fear, or otherwise, we
have nothing to do, and merely note the
fact. 1t may be said, however,
if anything can be said in ex-
tenuation of such juries, that
the public opinion behind them is not
unfrequently as much to blame as its rep
resentatives in the jury box.
Again, it not unfrequently happens that
when the jury does its duty, its work is
defeated by appeals or some bubble, new
trials and innumerabe other articles
which really furnish a thousand chances
of escape to the criminal to one for his
conviction.
Had the juries of Waller county hereto
fore done their duty fearlessly and melted
GU just punishment to the murderer and
ass ,ssin, the presence OF General King
and military force would not be neces-
sary in that county to-day.

A DEEP WATER CONVENTION.

The citizens of Fort Worth have issued
a call for convention of all parties in
terested in securing deep water on the
Texas coast, to meet in that city on July
10, to discuss the question and decide
upon the most available point on the
coast for that purpose. Colorado Is es-
pecially interested in this matter, aud
several months ago that state passed
resolutions strongly favoring some such
port. At this time, also, Denver is dis
cussing calling such convention as the
above to meet in that city, but is holding
back because Fort Worth has already
called a like convention for her city. As
between the two cities it is thought Den
yer would be the more desirable place to
hold the convention, for several
reasons, among which these would
seem to be the most weighty. First
the states and territories specially
interested in this question are principally
Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming
Utah, New Mexico and Texas, and of these
Denver is by far more central and con-
venent point for holding the convention
than Fort Worth.
Again. if the convention is held in Fort
Worth, it will be invested by all those
local and contendIng interests that prefef
one or another point on the coast for said
harbor. At Denver the convention will be
further removed and will be much freer
from such influences.
And lastly, and perhaps the most i'm
portant argument, as it Is the design of
this convention to bring to bear on con-
gress all the concerted influence possible
to gain federal aid for the plan, it would
seem that this end could best be accom-
plished by holding the convention in
some other state than Texas, the
state in the first instance
and more peculiarly to be bene-
flied. If the demand upon congress
comes from convention held in
some western state like Colorado,
directly interested in this move
ment, and if in that convention all the
states mentioned above are well repre-
seuted, then such a demand would have
more effect upon congress than if it came
from Texas and smacked so much of
localism. For these reasons we think it
would be the part of wisdom and sound
policy for Fort Worth to gracefully yield
her priority of call in favor of Denver
and let the convention be held in that
city. Such convention at this time we
think most wise and necessary thing.
1t should certainly be held somewhere,
and we can see no other city so we'll
adapted to meet all the requirements at
issue as Denver.

ABOUT FODDER CORN.
When 1t Should BE Cut and How
Should BE Cured.

When 1t Should BE Cut and How 1t
Should Be Cured.
If fodder corn is cut as fiber in the
green state, six tons weight will
shrink to two in the dry. Solids only
make flesh and fat. Liquids in album
dance help to fill the milk can. First.
When should it be cut? Before growth
ends, in the early stages of maturity,
before its spirit evaporates in the sun
and wind. The best place to cure it is
in the open field, in large, upright
shocks Twenty per acre), with their
tops small, tied at the peak to keep
dry and sweet, allowing the water in
it to dry out to save human labor.
Second. How cared for? When dry
enough to handle it should be drawn
together Con low-wheeled wagons, be-
cause easier), and stacked steep, be-
cause water runs down hill, will follow
the stem it strikes to the end, then
drop off. The coarser and longer the
stem the better it keeps its stack dry,
SO it is more self-supporting in the
stack thus than in the shocks. Sweat
ing will not damage it, if sunshine and
rain is thus kept away. Heat and
moisture in ample supply at the same
time will make manure of it. Third.
If profit is wanted as result, in feed
ing this fodder, the more we let the
forces of nature do the necessary
drudgery the more cost will shrink, so
swelling the profit. Every sound ami
NAL that has good will of its own
that it can easily use, will take the
leln fiber after it has had fats to sat
isfy the craving of its system, and not
until then, if possible; because ''they

HOW MANY VARIETIES.
Wholesome Advice for Farmers Afflict,
with the "Chicken Fever

Wholesome Advice for Farmers Afflicted
with the "Chicken Fever"
When some people contract the
"chicken fever" it goes directly to
their brain and they lose their head,
SO to speak. We get letters occasion
ally from persons who are about to
start in the business of breeding fancy
fowls, asking how many varieties they
had better keep. Some think that ten
would be a good number.
Those who talk in this way do not
know what they are about, and show
their lack of fitness to breed any varie-
ty properly.
One variety, or at most two, is
enough for any one to breed who has
had no experience in the business.
The eye must be trained to see and I'M
derstand the points required to make
valuable bird. Each breed is study
and requires peculiar treatment in re-
spect to mating and feeding.
When more than one variety is bred
on the premises, the owner is kept in a
state of constant anxiety, lest by acct
dent they become crossed, and his rep
utation suffer in consequence.
1t is difficult to rear enough chicks
of several varieties to supply the de-
mands for any one of the number,
especially if one of them be popular.
A large number of each must be reared
to allow for culling freely, SO that
there may be no temptation to sell Or
breed from birds of inferior quality.
There is temptation to crowd the
flocks into contracted houses and
yards, when several varieties are bred
on a single farm or plot. Breeding
birds need yards of liberal area in
order to produce vitalized eggs and
vigorous chicks, and young stock in
tended for breeding need wide range
to attain their fullest development.
The man or woman who begins with
single variety, and gives it close at
tention, will have more money and a
better reputation at the end of five
years than the person who begins with
ten or even more. ~
If more than one breed is to be kept,
have them bred on separate farms.
Several persons in the same neighbor-
hood on different farms may each
make speciality of some one breed,
and then all unite in advertising and
selling under the management of a
single individual. This mode of CO.
operation is frequently followed by fam
ciers.
A single variety of turkeys, chickens,
geese, ducks and guineas may be kept
on one farm without danger of inter-
mixture. Do. not attempt too much
