The practice of advertising cattle

C. H. Dane, the Deming banker,

Efforts should be made by the
stockmen of Arizona to secure a
reduction of cattle rates to the east
and north during the coming sea-
son. There will be a very consid-
erable demand for Arizona steers
in the north this year and there
seems to be no reason why the rail
roads should not grant arate which
will enable the producers of the
southwest to compete in the eastern
markets with the stockgrowers OF
Texas and Montana.-ChamDion.
Just now the stockmen of south
ern New Mexico are getting better
prices for their cattle than can be
obtained by stockgrowers in the
northern part of the Territory, in
Texas or Colorado. 1t appears that

cattle which can be spared by the
stockmen of that section at the
present time. and they command
good prices in the market there
Stockmen in the northern part ot

if they were shipped east where

Thus 1t will be seen that English btu.
minous coal miners receive wages only
about half as large as do their American
brethren The superior condition of our
own wage earners in this industry is quite
conclusively shown by the fact that very
many of them are themselves immigrants
who have found here more comforts than
they could get abroad. Nine or ten dol
lars a week, the lowest wages paid full
grown men in American coal mines. &c.
cording to this table, are quite as low as
anybody, except the free traders, would
like to see them go. An approximation
to the miserable pittance of 81 and even
receive may be desirable thing from the
free trade point of view. but genuine
Americans would regard it as purchasing
mere cheapness ut an exorbitant cost.

The free trade organs have good deal
tosay about the low wages paid to miners
In the coal and iron regions of this coun.
try. 1t is true that the return for the
tremendous labor and great risk which
miners have to undergo seems dispropor-
tionate, and that it does not compare
very favorably with the pay which men
receive IN certain other industries. But
this seems to be something universally
characteristic of The miners calling. The
circumstance that good deal OF mine
labor comes very near the definition of
unskilled probably has considerable to do
with IT. 1t is absurd at any rate for the
American free traders to use the low
average OF miners wages in this country
as an argument in favor Of the destruc-
tion Of the tariff, for low as they may be,
the stipends of English miners are far
lower. A comparison of the two may be

A New American Industry.

q, Farmers in various parts of the couni
try are beginning the cultivation of the
indigo plant, which for ms n very i'm
portant feature Of Chinese agriculture.
The indigo fern is one of the seed-pod
variety OF plants, with u stock and leaf
not unlike the fish %geranium, but of
darker green in color. 1t is very hardy,
easily cultivated, and unlike many Of
our native products, is never attacked
by insects.
The plants are gathered for manufact-
uring purposes when theyhavo attained
the height of about two feet, and at thi 8
period the leaves have assumed a rich,
Dark blue color. To extract the article
that Is sold for mechanical and domestic
uses the plants are placed in receptacles
and covered with fresh, clear water, in
which they remain for three days, until
the indican, ~ peculiar substance in the
Juice OF the plant, is decomposed by fer
mentation. To this is added, at speci-
fled times, a little slaked lime. The
whole is frequently stirred to assist the
process.
The indigo is precipitated in a dark

zens have selected the chairman of this
committee, but Mr.. Britton, whom SEN

and has energy enough to make tho

The perplexity of tho citizens on ac-
count of the absence of u suitable place
for the inaugural ball emphasizes tho
necessity for q large hall in this city
for such occasions. When the interna-
tional medical congress vas here,
though they occupied the largest thea
ter in the city, they had to divide into
sections, and were scattered about in
half a dozen buildings. Every great
assemblage has this experience in
Washington.
The Inauguration ball is a national
affair, and has always been an occasion
of great ceremony, and yet no adequate
place is provided for it. Sometimes
temporary sheds have been erected on
public reservations. Unfinished build
ings have also boon occupied. The Gar
field ball was given in the National
museum building before it was occupied
by old bones, antiquities and curiosities.

Mr.. HarrisOn's friends want to hold it;
but congress has authorized the city

parsimonious statesmen have not seen

until after the 4th of March. 1t is pro-
posed even to pay rent for the %postofice

the inauguration committee is the fact
that Mr.. Ross has not enough money to
meet his moving expenses.
1t requires a considerable outlay to
conduct a successful celebration, and
high prices are charged for the tickets
to the ball. The cheapest were those
for Mr.. Cleveland's ball, which, by the
way, was about the only one that ever

How Pullman Lost His Vote.

Chicago Times: Did you ever hear
how George M. Pullman lost his vote
four years ago? Some of his friends
told it on him on Tuesday when he
handed in his ballot.
On the morning Of the election he
received q telegram asking him to come
east on urgent business. He saw that
he had scant time to get to the polling
place and then make his train. He
started and reached the precinct. Ar
irving there he found twenty-five men
IN line. He knew if he took his place
at the foot he would miss his train. He
didn't want 10 do this. Most of the men
in line were laborers. Mr.. Pullman
went 10 the one ahead and offered him
s. for his place in the line, but the man
wouldn't sell. Mr.. Pullman approached
every man with the same offer and met
with similar refusal until he got down
to the sixteenth, who took the offer.
The line moved slowly and Mr.. Pull
mar kept looking at his watch and grew
impatient as he took the lockstep. Al
ter what seemed to him an hour he
reached the window and handed in his
ballot.
George NJ. Pullman, No. - Prairie
avenue" &e said. ea
Sorry, Mr.. Pullman, osaid the Judge,

He had no time to correct his mis-
take; he drove for his train, carrying
his ballot in his pocket. But he made
mistake on Tuesday.
