Protest Against Journalistic Mud
 Throwing.

The last issue of the Arizona Kicker contains the following in teresting item:
 We have been offered $25 in cash and barrel of wild plum vinegar to publish the record of the man who runs the weekly further down the street. While there is no doubt in our mind that he is a bigamist, horse-thief. barn-burner and anarch- ist sympathizer, we know what be- longs to decency, and we positively refuse the bribe.
 There is too much mud throwing among the editors of the west any how. They seem to have forgotten what is due to their position. II one of our doctors kills a patient by some mistake the rest are always ready to swear him clear. If one of the editorial fraternity makes a trip the rest are eager to pitch into him. It shouldn't be so. There should be more of the fraternal spirit-more of the pride of pro- fession. Therefore, while we are perfectly satisfied that the bald headed, bow-legged, squint eyed old coyote, who calls himself the editor of tie moribund dishrag, seven doors below, ought to be in the state prison for life, we are not going to forget what belongs to the ameni- ties of editorial life.

A Warning to RuStlerS.

Rustlers sometimes monkey with the buzz-saw longer, sometimes not so long, but it is a mere matter of time with them. The business chances of the rust!er are so num- erous as to discourage any but the reckless, the profits are small and the business altogether unsatisfac- tory from any intellectual stand point-whateyer 1t may be morally The rustler can hardly contemplate his acquired property with feelings of unmiXed pleasure, since he never can know it as absolutely his own, and feel the legitimate and natural comfort of the possession, and since at most time any yearling of them all is likely to break his neck. The ways of the rustler are those of care and anxiety, and properly-he robs another of an honest possession to gain for himself only feverish un- rest. And so it is pleasant to read that over in Nebraska the people have become disgusted with the rustlers and have formed a good and strong committee, and that one fellow was filled with lead and an- other went on a little walk with some of the citizens and was no more heard of The uncertainty of the rustler business causes sur prise that sane men should engage in it. The long immunity of the rustlers in Wyoming is only owing to the fact that owners are mostly capitalists and not the men who take hold with their hands.-North- western Live Stock Journal.

Busting a Coincidence.

A woman yesterday stood at the writing desk in the corridor of the postollice with a pen in her hand and a postal-card before her, says the Detroit Free Press. She was thinking deeply, when a man ap- proached with a postal-card in his hand, looked in vain for a pen, and finally said:
 Madam, are you going to use that pen for the next five minutes?"
 Yes, sir" she replied. q am just going to write to my husband"
 And 1 am just going to write to my wife. Curious coincidence, eh?"
 II don't know about that. My husband ran away, and I have just got his address and was wandering whether I should tell him to stay or ask him to come home."
 By George, madam, but how singularl My wife also skipped out, and I was wandering what to say to her. We are in the same boat, Shall we write: Come home, darling,' or, I never want to see your face again? What a curious coincidence p
 "Yes, lsthink it is i" remarked q woman who came upaabehind. "Try- ing to make mash, are you? This is the way you hunt for work, is it? Come home with me, or I'll pull all the hair out of your head and scratch that woman's eyes out p
 He went humbly along in tow, and newsboy who sat on the win dow-sill looked after the pair and soliliquized:
 'That'S what I call busting Q coincidence and catching liar at the same time. Better write for your darling to return by telegraph, ma'am."

A Street-Car Incident.

There are funny things happen ing on street cars every day. I think there ought to be a street-car club organized on the same basis as the Sunset Club and that it ought to be a rule that very mem- Der who meets with a unique ex- perience on the street cars should treasure it up and tell it at the club, where it could be preserved.
 I was riding west the other even- Ing on a Madison street car when a wee mite of youngster-not a day over ) years old-looked in at the door, and in a piping voice called out the papers. He sold one to 9 man near that end of the car, and took in the other passengers with a sweeping glance, but failed to catch my eye. 1 was sitting next to the front door. 1 tried to attract his attention by raising my hand, but he did not see me, and was about to dodge out when I called;
 "Here, boy !"
 The little fellow saw me and marched digni6edly down the aisle, looking at me very serenely. He stopped i'll front of me with a world of scorn expressed in his small round face.
 "Can't-you-whistle?" he asked disdainfully.
 He had a good, bunch of papers under his arm, and it looked as though he might be stuck" but I believe he had more than half a mind not to sell one of them to a man who couldn't whistle. I never will forget his look of contempt. It was withering-ChicagoM Mail.

 Proclus, whose fame in mathe- matics equaled that of Archimedes. is said to have made burning glasses in the reign of Anastasius Dicorus, of such wonderful efficacy that at a great distance he burnt and de- stroy9d the Mysian and Thracian fleet of ships that had blockaded Byzantium. The Damascus blades, as marvels of pefect steel, have long been famous, and even those used in the crusades are as perfect today as they were eight centuries ago. One on exhibition in London could be put into a scabbard almost as crooked as a crokscrew, and bent every way without breaking. The point of this sword could be made to touch the hilt.
 The poets have celebrated the perfection of the Oriental steel, and many famous writers have sung its praises. Scott, in his "Talisman" describes a meeting between Rich ard Ceur de Lion and Saladin. Sal adin asks Richard to show him the wonderful strength for which he is noted, and the Norman monarch re- spends by sevcring a bar of iron which lies on the floor of the tent. Saladin says, "I cannot do that" but he takes an cider down pillow from a couch, and drawing his keen blade across it..it falls in two pieces. At this feat Richard says: "This is the black art-it is magic; you cannot cut that has no resistance" Saladin, to show him that such is not the case, takes his scarf from his shoulders, which is so light that almost floats in the air, and, tossing 1t up, sewers it before it can descend. That Scott's story is not an exag- geration is proved by q traveller who once saw a man in Calcutta throw a handful of floss silk into the air and Hindoo sever it into pieces with his saber-Pittsburg Dispatch.

 Cattle Inspector Wyatt succeeded
 in heading off 15,0OO head of cattle
 from the Pan Handle of Texas, the first of this week. They passed
 through Lamar before he was aware
 of it and he was forced to work
 them over, on the north side ot the
 river. He succeeded in cutting out
 of the first three herds, five or six
 hundred head of cattle that belong
 ed on the Cimarron range and were
 tie property of cattlemen of that
 district. The men engaged in driv-
 ing the herds claimed that the req son they had so many strange cat
 tie among the lot was because the round up now working the Cimar
 ron had turned cattle loose and
 forced them down among their herd. They said they had requested the parties at the 101 ranch to cut out their herd, but they had refused to do so. saying that they had not time to accomplish the work. The inspector takes this mode of noti- flying the parties owning the cattle that the same are upon the north side of the river north of Lamar, and for them 10 come and get them. Las Animas Leader.
 The dressed meat and hog pack CTS say that the criticism of their products by American newspapers has ruined their markets abroad and they call this conduct "un- American" and say that the news papers. do wrong to injure the repu- tation of American products. Now that is a fiinsy argument. The newspapers are to help the monop- olistic robbers to impose upon the public? Never. Just soslong as commodities are sold under false names, will the newspapers de- nounce the frauds. It is robbery and crime to sell cotton seed oil, | water and acid under the name of pure family lard Foreign govern ments discovered the crooked stuff and in consequence the markets of Canada, Nc txico and Europe have been left to the larc compounders. The Stock Grower hopes that the fight on frauds will be kept until it will be a crime to label and sell any article for anything but what it really is. We have the oleomarga- rine law for a precedent and the day | will come when Armour, Fairbanks and other frauds must call things by their right names or suffer the penalty of the law-Stock Grower |

 The recent appalling occurrence
 in the Conemaugh valley is forci-
 ble reminder of the intimate rela-
 tions existing between forest de-
 struction and floods. It is lesson
 which should sink deep into the
 minds of all. This calamity, in
 connection with the disastrous in
 undation of the Ohin valley some years ago, and the periodical over flow of the Mississippi, all point to the inevitable consequences of reck- less and extensive devastation of our mountain slopes. Although the breaking of the dam was the immediate cause of the late misfor- tune, the primary cause was the naked condition of the adjacent mountain, from whence came the deluge of waters in such volume that no human agency could with stand 1t. Had the mountains pos sessed their natural covering of timber and undergrowth, the de- scent of the storm water would have been gradual. with comparatively little resulting injury
 The dire event is full of warnings for this and other mountainous dis tricts. It teaches the urgent need of preserving the forests--as prime factor in regulating the flow off streams. In the Rocky Mountain region, through the agency of the government, steps are being taken preliminary to the construc- ton of reservoirs and canals for ir- rigation purposes. The extreme danger of so placing reservoirs or dams that the retained waters be- come a menace to the country be- low. should now be evident to all. Engineering skill and good sense should unite in the prosecution of all works for the storage of water. How easy it would be to so locate and construct storage reservoirs along our mountain range that Dem yer, Manitou, Pueblo and other val ley towns would be in constant jeop- lrdy Let us pause long enough l to reflect upon these matters, and | lct in the light of reason and sad experience.-Colorado Springs Ga zette.

 Cattlemen say that there are more

 there ever was in tl e Territory at any other time since it's occupancy

 The Texas cattle shippers seem to be in love with the one market idea, since they do not make prac- tice Of giving buyers at St. Louis chance to purchase the cattle billed via St. Louis to Chicago. No won- der the producers suffer when they neglect half their portunities.- Texas Live Stock Journal.
 As to the over-production theory. the Orange County (N. Y. ) Farmer remarks: "Of all stupidities this is the worst. Here in the east, in fact all over the country, there are thou sands of people who are almost starving for this same beef. How then can there be over-production? The trouble is under-consumption, not over-production."
 As the market reports show bet ter figures our friends should not be in too great haste to throw their cattle forward. Heavy shipments should not be made too early, and only really fit cattle should go at any time. With a market sure to lower it would be different; but when, as now, improvement must of necessity be the order, only light shipments, to meet pressing de- mands should be made. To those who can wait, there is a good mar ket ahead.-Cheyenne Live Stock 1 Journal.
 The wells in the neighborhood of Cottonwood mountain that sup piled several stock ranges with wa ter, have gone dry for the first time since they were dug. The past win ter gave an unusual fall of rain, yet the wells failed, while in dry sea sons they were not affected. Mr. P. R. Brady has removed his stock to she river near the Buttes, and MT. Moreau will likewise do the same. No theory has yet been advanced | for this peculiar circumstance Florence Enterprise.
 The question as to the use of i'm proved stock cars is not that of a difference between the different pat ented cars but shippers demand a system by which his stock can put ,n the market in q saleable condi- ion, and the quickest and best ac- ,ommodations accomplishes that object. If the railroads build cars of their own better than the patent cars the shipping public will use hem in preference to the others. But one thing is certain, and that s that live stock shippers who have .ong hauls have found by expe- fence that much is saved in the car and in the future de- hand them for their stock.-Texas Live Stock Journal
