The promise Of the conductors of Har-
per's Magazine to give in every issue at
least one wothy art article is magnif-
Gently fulfilled in the August number by
Theodore Child's paper on "Sandro Bot
ticeli." The value of this artists work
is just beginning to be appreciated, and
to set forth his worth and beauties to
this generation is to help materially the
cause of the..art education of the world.
Mr.. Child's article is simple and clear
study of Botticelli as type of early re-
naissance artist and as the personif-
cation of that spirit; of Botticelli as an
illustrator of Dante, and as a type of
artist-nature in distinction from the
painter as seen, for example, in
Yelasquez. Some excellent illustrations
supplement the letter-press, as follows:
portrait of Botticelli, the head of one
of his Graces, figure of Flora, the Virgin
and child, and Mars and Venus. This is
wise selection, and will give the intel
Ggent reader much assistance in an effort
to appreciate the value of Bottieelli's
work

THE AMES BILL.

1t Is an open secret that st the time the
present Bureau of Animal Industry was
established q number of the ablest and
most prominent northern ranchmen ex-
pressed themselves as favoring the use Of
the bureau to shut of Texas cattle from
moving north for the reason, IS they eX-
pressed 1t, that, with Texas shut of as q
competitor, their northern cattle would
be largely enhanced IN value. It was the
knowledge of this fact that caused Texas
cattlemen to go to st. L luis en- masse at
the time of the first meeting of the Cattle
Growers Association of the United States
to prevent that organization from falling
into the hands of those men who were the
controlling spirits in the Insignificant as
ISOLATION which had been pre-
viously organized in Chicago. Many
of our readers were present
at the St. Louis meeting where
nearly 1900 representative csttlemen
were assembled and recollect the contest
for the control of the organization be-
tween the c.ttlemen of Texas and their
allies in Colorado and New Mexico as
against the men who came from the
northwest with their allies from the dairy
districts Of the east. Texas triumphed
In the contest, and the Hon. Norman J.
Colman of Missouri took leading part
in the fight in the interest Of Texas.
Texas cattlemen appreciate and stand by
their friends, and when the change Of ad
ministration occurred and Grover Cleve-
Isnd became President, Colman, largely
owing to Texas influence, WAS appointed
Commissioner of Agriculture. The men
who controlled the Chicago association
opposed C lmsn's appointment, and they
have labored ever since, in season
and out of season, to tie his
hands in the discharge of the
duties OF the off1ce, and took from him
the powers which he would not prosti-
tute to serve their selfish and mischiev-
ious purposes. Three years sgo the
controlling spirits of the Chicago 1850
citation attempted to blockade the entire
northern drive OF Texas cattle at Camp
Supply In the Indian Territory, and they
only failed because Norman J. Colman

John Howard, "of and for Texas" st
st. Louis Is doing more to advertise this
state and direct public attention to its
advantages and resources than all other
Influences combined. Mr.. Howard is
doing more in behalf Of immigration to
Texas than all the cfficisls, all the rail-
roads, all the newspapers and all the
immigration societies in the state put to-
gether. This is sweeping assertion, but
The GAZETTE finds SIMPLE warrant for it
in the testimony Of every man who has
paid recent Nisit to st. Louis and had
ocular demonstration of the extent OF
John Towards work in behalf OF the
state.
In conversation with Messrs. Holland
OF he Dallas Farm and Ranch and Brit
tinghsm of The GAZETTE, both of whom
have Just returned from a
visit to St. Louis, THE GAZETTE
has been made acquainted with the char
acter and with the effect of Mr.. Towards
efforts, and upon the testimony Of the
gentlemen named, as well as upon that Of
others with whom The GAZETTE has con-
versed, this paper repeats that John
Howard is doing more to attract public
attention to Texas than all other agencies
combined.
Mr.. Howard is paying for sll his ad-
Vertising Of the state himself, and every
county in Texas should lessen the ex-
pense to him by forwarding at once all
the printed matter they can send. He
distributes this printed information with
rigid impsrtinlity to all who apply in re-
spouse to his unique and costly sdver-
Using, and If any Texas county
or city is neglected, It is due to the fact
that such county or city has not supplied
Mr.. Howard with printed matter for dis
tribuuon.
THE GAZETTE agsin urges on all local
immigration bureaus, resi- estate men and
others, to send Mr.. Howard any and
everything that can advertise any
section of the state or con-
veg Information of its resources
or advantages, such as maps, special edi-
lions OF newspapers, circulars, pam
phlets, specimens Of products, sgricul-
tural or mineral, etc, etc. he has
aroused 4 widespread desire to know

used his influence with Secretary Lamar
to get the blockade raised. Texas oattle-
men, relying on the expressions Of good
faith made by the leaders OF the Chicago
Cattle Association, consented to con-
solidstion Of the St. Louis association
with the one st Chicago, and lsst fall st
Kansas City, for the first time, the cattle
interests Of the country were apparently
united, and the meeting of the Consoli-
dated CsttIe Growers Association Of the
United States WAS then held.
The proceedings Of this meeting were cut
and dried and DR.. Ames Of Montana man
ipulsted masters in accordance with the
plans Of the clique controlling the organi-
zation. The live stock commission mer-
chants of Chicago, to their honor be it
said, supported Commissioner Colmsn st
this meeting and forced a compromise
resolution which recommended TO Con-
gress the passage of bill known IS the
Miller CSrey bull relating to the cattle in
dustry Of the United States, with the
change that the Commissioner of Agricul-
ture should be member of the commission
OF three sought to be created. This CON-
promise 'yreement has been acquiesced
in in good faith by Texas csttlemen, and
they relied on the legislative committee
Of the association, which WAS selected
to go to Washington to secure
the passage of the bill recommended
oV the association, carrying out the ex-
pressed wishes of the association. To
the surprise of Texas cattlemen, Dr.
Ames' committee have had introduced 8
bill in Congress which takes out Of Com
missioner Colman's hands all the power
relating to cattle matters with which
he is now vested and places 1t entirely in
the hands of new board of three to he
appointed by the President. We do net
doubt for moment but that Texas infu-
ence united with that Of heI friends In
New Mexico, Colorado and elsewhere
Throughout the country will be able to Sc
cure representation on the contemplated
board, but it seems to US needless to
engage in contest of this character when
the Objectionable bill may be killed be-
fore becoming law. A meeting was
held in Fort Worth last night by repre-
sentative cattlemen at which resolutions
were unanimously adopted calling on
Texas csttlemen to write to Congress
men to oppose Ames' bill, and THE GA
zETTE trusts in the interest Of Texas that
this will be done:
