VIII enter into competition with
the other cattle buyers and thus make the
demand and activity on the cattle market
that much better We want lots more
cattle and more buyers viii come.
We wish again TO urge upon shippers
and raisers of live stock the Importance Of

signed to commission men the stock is
fed and watered as soon as it reaches the
yards. and can oftentimes he sold for more
money than it would sell for when the
shipper arrives especially if he Is delayed
in some way, as has often been the case
The packers would much rather buy
through commission men, as they have
very little time 10 look after anything out
side of their regular line of business. Some
buyers in the country represent that they
are buying diIect for the packers, which Is
not so, or if such n thing as the packers
sending a buyer into the coutry for such
purpose they viii provide them with prop
er credentials showing that to be fact.

A PICTURE Fon rAX-pAYERs.

War has been waged for many months on
the political Boss" and ''BoSsism" through
the columns of THE CALL, in the hope that
the people of the city and State may be
awakened to the true condition of things
political, and by their vote on the 4lh of next
November sweep out Of existence the
political cormorants and vultures that have
fattened upon the food furnished them by
''the Boss" at the expense of the honest, the
small Taxpayers, who have all but been bled
TO death by the taX-eaters who control the
political machine.
In an article published in recent issue of
Hdrper'S Weekly is presented vivid pic
ture Of the condition OF affairs politically in
the Empire City, where, since the reign OFF
famous BOSS Tweed" the government has
been, in the main. by the most corrupt set of
officials that ever disgraced public Office, I'M
less We except some specimens that Buckley
placed In the legislative halls in Sacra-
mento, and in the municipal council
chamber in San Francisco. That paper
says:

political corruption presented. 1t must not
be wiped out partially. but must be wiped
out so completely that not one figure on it
can be seen, even with the aid of search
