Our Territory is to be visited, in the early part of next month by a man of national fame who is di- recting his whole energy toward predjudicing our fellow citizens against the religious freedom they now enjoy. This man is eager to rob our Constitution of it's most glorious principle and to place us thereafter under the heel of des- potic religious rule. We know the rest-we have read the history of the dark ages, we have seen the aw- ful church power admitted through the first Sunday law, that of Con- stantine, and have watched the dreadful hydra grasp all Europe and gloat over it's millions of bleed ing, tortured victims until the strug
 gles of reformation broke the power of the monster, Church and State. Gan we afford to have experience The United States al ready fully protects Sunday as 1t does every other day-that is, if pro-

The Silent TeamSter.

The teamster, as one of the types
 of the frontier, is seldom introduced
 in print without allusions to his ingenious and picturesque profan- ity whereas it is his silence, rather than his utterances, that gives him, among his brethern of the way al- most the distinction of a species.
 "The sailor has his 'chanty, the negro bostsman his rude refrain {; we read of the Cossack's wild march ing chorus of the begging song of the Russian exiies on the great Siberian road, of the Persian min strel in the midst of the caravan reciting, in a high singing voice, tales of battle and love and magic to beguile the way. For years the parlor vocalist has rung the changes upon barcroles and Canadian boat songs, but not the most fanciful of popular composers has ventured to dedicate note to the dusty throat ed voyager of the overland trail.
 'He is not unpicturesque he has every claim that hardship can give to popular sympathy; yet, even to the most inexperinced imagination. he pursues his way In silence along those fateful roads, the names of which will soon be legendary. AS a type he was evolved by these roads to meet their exigencies. He was known on the great Sante Fe trail. on the old Oregon trail, on all the historic pathways that have carried westward the story of restles and a determined people The railroads have driven him from the main lines of travel he IS now merely the link between them and scattered difficult of access. When the systems of feeders to the main track are completed his work will be done. He will have left no record among songs of the people or lyrics of the way, and in fiction, oddly enough, this most enduring and silent of beings will survive through immotal rhetoric of his biographers-as one whose breath is heavey with curses" ."-Mary Hal lock Foote in Century.

J. R. DODGE, statistician of the department of agriculture, is now in Montana, and will visit other states and territories where there are large cattle interests in behalf of the census bureau. It is said that the census reports of the cat tie on the plains have been very meagre and inaccurate. It is MT. Dodge's intention to arrive at some method which will make the census reports of stock on the ranges of actual value. After thorough inves- tigation he will report to the agri- cultural department and his sugges- tions will be referred to the census bureau.

Relieve the Ranges.

Any tiller of the soil that should hold his crops year after year, in- stead of marketing them annually
 would raise the presumption in the minds of his neighbors, that he was either daft, or a deuced poor mana ger. This same presumption is just as applicable to the beef farm CT, as it is to the one producing the cereals. It is said that some of the oldest and best known ranchmen in Texas, Montana and the interme- diate range country are now cutting down their herds by marketing old COWS, yearling steers, and in many instances, the calves. Our cattle men of northern Arizona should follow this example, and market all their ripe beef, thus relieving their overstocked ranges, at the same time get money in hand with which to pay off debts, make necessary inn provements and withal be able to take advantage of the many good opportunities which always present themselves to persons possessing ready cash. Beef prices are ever fuctuating, and always will be so, and surely there is no money in bolding this product for a prospec- tive rise in the market. The req sons for this are simple; the lost interest on the cash represented in the ripe beef, not counting the an- nual losses, etc., would largely over- balance any slight difference in the prices obtained. Therefore, the present policy of our stockmen holding their marketable cattle, for a precarious and uncertain rise in prices, to say the least, is really business suicide, Then, gentlemen of the branding iron, at once get rid of all your marketable stock by turning it into ready cash, which can be used to greater and more profitable advantages.

Some time ago, he entered the Maine Gen. tral Railroads machine shops at Waterville, under the immediate in- struction of the most skilled me- chanics in the employ of that great corporation.

His face had been changed by black coal dust and precipitation until his countenance was hardly recogniz- able.

 Some time ago a farmer named Crosby, of Buena Vista county, Iowa, shipped his steers, about 300, to Chicago, s.and held them there two days, but could not get any, thing like fair price, so he shipped them back home again, and then commenced buying other good steers until he had about 700. Then he shipped them all to New York, chartered a steamer for $3 200, and took them to England. He real ized there seven cents pound for his steers, and made a good thing on them. It was equal to at least five cents in Chicago. He was we'll pleased with his venture, and is buying more stock for the same purpose.

St. Johne, Thureday, Sept, )2.

THE Wolfley Board of Equaliza- ton raised the valuation of cattle to $12.55 per head, after the Super visors of this county had placed it at $50. No fair-minded man who IS at all familiar with the price of cattle and the state of the market, but will say this is an outrage. There is not a herd of cattle in this county, of any considerable number, that could be sold in the next thirty days at that figure. In fact there was sale at Holbrook, a few days since, of 200 head at $6.50 per head. This same Board reduced the assessment on the road bed and personal property of the Atlantic and Pacific Railroad Com pany, and raised it on their land from 20 to 75 cents per acre. It is a well-known fact that the HERALD is not partial to the Atlantic and Pacific Company, but it regards this step of the Board as another outrage. We venture the assertion that the Railroad Company would sell every acre of its lands in this county at forty cents per acre, and be glad of the opportunity. Judg- ing of this Board. by its acts at its late session, one is compelled to come to the conclusion that the Governor has appointed lot of in- competents-men who are totally united for the positions they hold who have not the fainiest idea of their duties, or what is expected of them. They have raised valuations they should not have interfered with; or, if touched at all, should have been lowered; and lowered in the came manner.
 The raise on lands and cattle, works two-fold hardship on the Aztec Land and Cattle Company, In fact, we do not see how this company can afford to pay such a tax. It looks as if the Republican rule of this Territory for the next four years, was going to follow in the footsteps of its predecessors, and inaugurate another wasteful and extravagant administration of Territorial affairs. They raised the per cent that goes to the Territory from 63 to 80 cents. Why it should cost any more to run the Territorial government for the next four years, than it has for the past four, we are unable to see; perhaps some of our Republican friends can tell the peo- ple.

ARCHBISHOP SALPorNTE, of Santa
 Fe, (N. M., J has published a letter
 denouRcing the public schools gen.
 orally. and declares them ito be a
 failure ;" in other words, the pub
 lie schools of the United States do
 not telch Catholicism or any oth-
 CT ism, ergo, they are a failure
 from Salpointe's standpoint. In
 the light of Mir. Salpointe's let
 ter 1t is now in order for that female
 dunce writing from the mountains,
 to furnish the Citizen" with an- other "vindicalion." It is aston
 ishing how much some people can
 pretend to know and write of in re-
 lation to matters of which they are
 so densely ignorant. Take the his
 tory of that church and read it, o
 ye intelligent CD vlndicators, then
 blush for shame at the ignorance
 which you have heretofore exhib-
 ited. The Catholic Church in fa-
 vor of education, science and gen. eral intelligence forsooth then why has 1t endeavored by the aid of the devilish machinery of the inquisi- tion, and by burnings at the stake, to suppress every attempt at the requirement of knowledge outside the dictum of the church? Two hundred and eighty-nine years ago, the 17th of next February, the meek and luwly followers of the original "meek and lowly," after seven years incarceration, in a loathesome dungeon of the inqui- sition, burned at the stake Gior- dano Bruno for simply maintain ing the truth of science vs. church balderdash. No wonder then at the Pope leaving Rome; he could not bear to see the magnificent to Bruno, recently erect ed on the very same spot where he { Bruno) was burned by the Catho- lie Church 2S9 years ago. Not only monument to Bruno; but a monument which establishes forev- CT the assinine abilities of the for mer leatherheads of that church. And the present hatred of educa- ton, manifested by the leaders of the catholic church, proves quite conclusively that it would to-day, had 1t the power and dared to exc cute it, burn and torture for saying
 the world moves" When the highest dignitaries in the church murder, like Cardinal Sanseverina, after the massacre of St. Bartholomew, to say it was "a splendid day, most pleasant to Catholics" is a disgrace and an outrage not to be tolerated by sen ,ible humanity. Notwithstanding .hese indisputable and very patent facts, there are many even in this lay of universal intelligence so omblind and so ignorant of the past, that they will attempt to vim licate the church, simply because some hypocritical time-serving priest says (he) is in favor of pub
 ic schools. No true Catholic au- iavors the public schools, nor edu- cation, for to do so, would be ;o set himself squarely against the
