Appalling Cattle Totals.

We hear great deal about peo
 pie in various parts of the countr,
 going out of raising cattle. Indeed
 1t is not easy to recall a farming
 section from which an increase il
 cattle growing is reported. Many
 range districts have also been re-
 porting for two or three years as
 closing out herds and retirement
 from business. Nearly every read CT, perhaps, is himself a witness ot a local disposition to abandon cat tie, while very many have seen a decline in numbers under their own immediate observation. These things taken together would tend to create a hope that the time was at hand when the markets would cease to be overstocked. In fact many of the leading cattlemen of the country have been predicting such development for a long time.
 But the facts as shown by mar ket returns discount all such ex- pectations badly. Whether people are going out of cattle or not, the cattle are produced and marketed in such numbes as were never be- fore known. Chicago, for instance, received 76,297 cattle within a sim gle recent week, while this number has been approximated at other times during the season. The other primary markets, too, are in an average more than holding their own. These facts are highly sug- gestive. Taking them in connec- tion with the depressing influence of the dressed beef trade, there is little wonder that cattle are where we find them, and that good cattle do not make still greater advance than that recently achieved. It is not cheerful pastime to speculate as to where even the best cattle might be now were it not for the phenom- enal export trade.-National Stock man.

Speaking of the Baronial branch of our Federal legislative body, the Boston Globe observes: The sen- ate has become what it's original friends hoped it would become an American house of lords. It has become what men like Thomas Jefferson feared that it would be- come-a stumbling block in the path of needed legislation in the peoples interest. To-day it is notor- iously a "millionaire's club" and its members are elected to look af- ter the interests of this or that cor poration or monopoly. No reform bill that gets through the house of representatives can pass the sen- ate if it affects injuriously the in- terests of these monopolies. The method of electing senators makes it easy for the monopolies and trusts to control them. It is on ly necessary to secure the co-ope- ration of a few men who are in in fiuential posions in the legislatures. And because the senators are far removed from responsibility to the people, they can with impunity vote as they would not dare to vote if they were dependent on popular suffrage for reelection.

The carpenter who carried a blaz- ing stove out of a frame house on his shoulder is now suffering dread ful agony and will probably die, but it is altogether likely that he had no consciousness of pain dur tug the moments i'll which he was on fire. Under excitement strong enough to produce great exaltation of spirit bodily injuries may be un- felt, as soldiers, martyrs, Indian jugglers and penitentes have proved innumberable times. This physi- ological fact is at the basis also of many of the so-called mind-cures- the "cure" being proclaimed to the world and the subsequent relapse ignored.-New York Tribune.

 The people of Gila county are, very justly, considerably exercised over proposition of the people of Maricopa county to construct dam that would make lake of a large and fertile section of their county, besides cutting it in two.

 The Atlanta Constitutional indul- yes in little back talk when it says: "The frauds who are howl ng for negro domination in the south refuse to recognize the negro tt the north in any shape or form.

It lies Il in the mouth of these fools to lowl about the treatment of the ne- ITO in the south, where his merits Ire recognized and where he has 8 hance to make his way"
 The total coal consumption of he world is said to amount to up- yards of 100000 hundred weight ger hour. Of this quantity about 10000 hundred weight are re- Iuired per hour in order to heat the 'oilers for stationary and marine ngines, locomotives, etc. The pro- uction of pig iron absorbs 100000 undred weight and that of other netals S0,OOO hundred weight per our.
