TEXAS seems to have cut very good
figure In the Denver cattlemen's conven-
tion, of which the Republican of that
city gives very readable accounts. Edi-
tor Caruthers, Of Corpus Christi, seems
to have made hit and has opened an
Office there for the sale of Texas lands.
Not the least pertinent Of all that ia
mentioned In connection with the Dem
yer meeting Ia the remark of Senator
Dorsey, that Texas grade cattle are the
best cattle in the whole country for
making beef.

As prolonged darkness is detrimen-
tai to vegetable lite 50 are dark stables
injurious to the health of stock. Many
stables are made to face the blank wall
of the building and whCa the animal is
in the stall it so darkens the manger
that it must feed at random. After
standing in dark stable and then COM
ing out into sunlight the eyes are
dazz'cl .~' this oft repeated impairs

Stables should be light in every part.
Light is lifc," and animals cannot
have too much of it. 1t is easy to in

terror OF the barn and are dark they can

Sulphur fed in small quantities has
been highly recommended as a prevent
i've of abortion. Some farmers practice
mixing q small proportion of sulphur
with salt, which is kept in troughs
where cattle, sheep and horses can have
access to it at all seasons of the year.
One pi1t of su!rhur to four pints of
salt is about the proportions recon-
mendod, although some prefer only
about half that quantity of sulphur.
A correspondent OF al exchange. who
has tested its merits, states that 'Ior
the last five years I have fed my COWS
and heitcrs sulphur il small quantities
and at regular times, and have never

Remem Der that one Of the most i'm
portant point, in the care offarm horses
is to feed rcgu 'arly. If you drive your

his noon meal you may expect a lank

ough rubbing and currying Is as essen
tIaI to the we'll being Of horse as a
feed. 1t IS an old saying that good
grooming Is equal to four quarts Of oat+.
The horse might think this not more
than half true, but unless your a2imals
arc at pasture or where they can rub
and roll themselves, grooming is neces-
sary.

noon, but regularly at six in the morn

months of the year. The two hardest
working months he feeds at noon also.

ANGLING for the Gamy TarpOn.

q can tell you one thing said Mr..
Hughes OF F.oriIa to New York Tel
ecram reporter, ''thc coming sport for
fishermen Is huntio- the tarpon."
In proof Of his statomenths exhibited
a half section Of on. which he captured
himself during the winter When alive
it weighed 143 pounds and now, hand
somely mounted, it seemed incredible
that it could have been hooked aud
landed with the slender line which 5til
hangs from its mouth.
"Tarpon are the gamcst fish alive,
continued 3Ir Hughes. You need
about nine hundred feet Of line on your
reel when you 90 fishing for them, aud
you ca1 use no si1ker. Biz as they are
the tarpon ere the most sensitive Of fish,
and they have been known to Tick up a
bait-d hocl, ard carry it off several
hundred feet; then, when feeling the
weight OF the sinkcr, drop the hook.
You should hav, a small, line with a
cotton smell about four feet long. You
throw you hook overheard and pay out
few hundred feet Of line, then coil off
several hundred more on your boat.
Then you wait The first information
that you've get fish will be seeing him
jump. The tarpon swallows the baited
hook. You cant hook him il the
mouth, but once 1t gets fairly down
into his stomach he feels queer sensa-
ton which sets him to squirminr, and
suddenly he'll rush to the surface and
jump clean out Of the water. Then all
you have to do is to play him unit. he's
tired out, When you have him ree.ed
in close to your boat you land him with
saf. It's great sport. AL the New

WE WERE accorded yesterday glance

ELSEWHERE appears communication
from q leading Democrat on the refusal
of the Orc Fino Republican Club to ac-
cept challenge from the Iroquois Club
to publicly discuss the tariff. This a
square backdown. Such an exhibition
Of the White Feather is seldom seen in a
political campaign. 1t is practical con-
cession, both of the superior ability of the
Democratic champions and OF the super
ior merits of the Democratic position.
We are not surprised at this Republican
pusillanimity. Their campaign is based
upon misrepresentation of the Democratic
attitude on the tariff, and they dare not
permit their followers to learn the truth,
which would be the inevitable result OF
such public discussion. 1t is doubtless
Notifying to be obliged to take water in
this igaominious manner, but it is a
political necessity.

In THE telegraphic columns OF the HER
AID this morning will be found special
from San Francisco that will be read
with interest, not to say with surprise
in that it ascribes the title to valuable
property in the heart of the city OF Los
Angeles to the United States Govern.
ment instead Of the present occupants o.
the premises, who have considered them
selves secure in the possession of the
same from deed granted by
Julian Williams in 1S49.- The claims O
the Government to the land in question
are founded on the report of Surveyor
General Hammond, who bases his rea
sons for so reporting, on the facts SCI
forth in our telegram. AS the property
has grown valuable in the hands of the
present holders they will doubtless de
fend their rights to the utmost, and as {
result, some interesting litigation may
be expected to ensue.

A TERRIBLE amount of silly twaddle
has been written Of Los Angeles city
and county, and by journals ranging from
the New York Herald 10 some yawper in
the northwest. The great immigration OF
the best people in the country towards
Southern California had been viewed
with jealousy even in New York; for,
unless the New York Herald was subsi-
died, nothing else could explain Mr..
Nordhof's change of position, and Mr..
Nordhof was its chief editor. At all
events, the crusade which ranged all
around the board had a very salutary effect
in this section. 1t looked for a moment
as if the craze for specializing in outside
townlots had about reached the stage OF
madness; and the halt thus called, al
though it was inspired by envy, was
wholesome. 1t was really favorable for
future well-based real estate speculation,
for now the newcomer is certain to have
a large and immediate margin of profits
thing of which he could not be certain
in an era of hectic real estate upheaval.
The wholesome and corrective effect of q
halt is fully realized by our more saga
cious real estate spectators and property
owners; and our local banks, with wise
forethought, contributed to the needed
revolution. To-day we enter upon the
Summer with the most substantial evi-
dences of prosperity we have ever known.
Improvements, and upon "a colossal
scale, have never been 80 rife as now.
Fine streets are coming daily into being
business edifces which would grace the
Rue Des Italiens are springing up on every
side; great areas Of our fertile lands are
being converted into orchard and vine
yard, and everything is auspicious for a
healthy and enduring prosperity.

THE sale by H. Mosgrove & Go. of their
lease of premises in the Phillips Block
for 5000 to the Atchison, Topeka &
Santa Fe railway shows that that corpor-
alton takes considerable stock in the fu-
ture of Los Angeles. The fact is that
this city is the most pronounced railway
center on the Pacific Coast and one OF
the most prominent in the United States.
The great transcontinental railway lines
that are centering here will be shortly re-
inforced by others, while the local rail-
way building has no rival anywhere, in
America or in the world. Such things
are evidences Of solid progress and de-
yelopment which cannot be whistled
down the wind by envious detractors.

The demonstration which will signal
ize the return Of Lieutenant Governor
White TO Los Angeles from his attend
ance at the Democratic National Conven-
ton at st. Louis will be thorough one,
and it should be participated in by Dem
ocrats from all parts Of the county. 1t
ought to be made 'rouser." California
was most potential in the deliberations
of that body; and Los Angeles county, in
the person Of our gifted fellow-towns-
man, was recognized in a most conspicu-
GUS manner. The nomination of Thur
man, who has immensely strengthened
the ticket on this Coast. was unquestion-
ably due to the California delegation.
Mr.. White comes fresh from the center
Of Democratic enthusiasm, and will let
our people know how strong and impetu.
GUS is the whelming torrent of popular
enthusiasm upon which Cleveland
and Thurman will ride into power. Nc
.bar'l, !" whether of pampered manufac-
turers or Of New York bankers enriched
like Morton, beyond a just and natural
standard, will figure in this Democratic
outpouring, nor will its glories be pur-
chased by heavily assessed Federal of.
ficials. 1t will be the spontaneous trib.
ute OF the masses to approved public
service and to merit; and it will, we
venture to predict, be memorable one.

REPRESENTATIVE CANNON, although a

does his own thinking. In very racy
debate yesterday on the Mills bill he told
Pig-iron Kelley that if he could not con-
strue the Chicago platform to suit his
own views on protection, he would get
off of it. For his part he preferred free
sugar to free whiskey, and would vote as
he believed. Joseph G. Cannon and
Knute Nelson, of Minnesota, are the
auont-coursurs of the Great West, which
will not long dance to the music Of the

wage-workers of the East.

IT is somewhat singular that of the
eight policemen whose designations were
demanded by Board of Police Commis-
sioners unanimously Democratic, seven
are Democrats. The HERALD presumea
that Mayor Workman and President of
the Council Humphreys know that it has
been usual for Rer'ablicans, since the
organization Of the grand old party, to
arraign the efficiency of Democrats, and
by the large number of Democrats
marked for execution Democratic Off
cials lend color to this idea. The charges
against these men have been handed in
on the Star Chamber process. They
have not been afforded an opportunity
for vindicating themselves. OF one
thing we may be assured, and that is
that the people of Los Angeles,
in putting the municipal admin.
istration into Democratic hands,
never for moment contemplated such a
pitiful and disheartening fiasco. The
Democratic party of Los Angeles was
never more vigilant, more fully organ
lied or more aggressive than it is now.
Now, as always, it is in favor of good local
government. of strict party accountability
and of an honest response to reasonable
and legitimate party obligations. II
would be absurd to suppose anything
else in the floodtide Of a victorious
n ational Democratic campaign. If there
were any scandal connected with Dem
ocratic administration of the Police De-
partment the HERALD would be the first
to denounce it. We find, as a matter Of
fact, that never 80 fully as now has there
been a disposition to enforce the laws
and to repress violence. 1t is fact
easily demonstrable that for efficiency
and downright honesty the Police De.
partment has never been so energetic ol
so effective as it is to-day. Under such
circumstances it would seem that com
mon sense, party fealty and the public
good would forbid the Police Depart
ment, Democratic in all its membership
being run as sort Of tender to the
locally defeated Republican party.

Holmes, Of Iowa, criticised the amend
