upon Cattle Raising.

KANSAS CRY, Sept. 9.-The dressed
beef senatorial investigation committee be
gan its session here this morning. The
| examination of George W. Click. of Atcbi-
son, ex-governor of Kansas, and Charles
burst, of Atchison, occupied the morning.
Both are stockmen. Click testified that
he had been in the CATTLE raising
business thirty years, during which time
the prices for cattle had deprecated 80 to
40 per cent. The cause of this, the witness
said, was the establishment in Kansas City
OF great packing interests which developed
at first great competition among the sell
lers of cattle and afterwards combination
among the packe which was soon so
powerful that its members could buy cattle
at their own prices.
Have you any direct knowledge of the
workings of this combination?r asked

The witness testified further that the
effect had been to drive many cattle raisers
OF Kansas out of the business. The pack
ers also controlled the rates of railroads to
a certain extent, and that the packers of
Kansas City had almost ruined the butcher
business at AtchisOn, Kas., and would have
done so entirely had not the city council

Editor Mirror:
Dear Sir Your paper has come to hand for
some time past, and l have read it with great
care and satisfaction.
1t gives an interior view OF the thoughts and
feelings of those who in confinement. and in
that way brings better understanding of the
real purposes and wishes that move them. The
thought is too common that the criminal class, is
such, Intentionally and per.istently, while in fact
it is largely the result Of moral weakness self
indulgence. And that considerable portion of
those undergoing punishment aincerely desire
and purpose to amend their lives, to most people,
is a revelation. The frank confession of being
there for wrong doing, and not from the persecu-
ton of others, gives confidence i'll the penitence
of the guilty and inspires hope of their entire
reformation.

vance. Respectfully,
