THE GAZETTE FORT WORTH TEXAS FRIDAY DEcEMBER5

An experienced sheep raiser of the Sec
ton pronounces this not SO much due to
clement winter seasons as to the fact
that sheep in succeeding generations be-
come remarkably we'll acclimated. so
that the product of q warm climate
transferred to much more rigorous
one will, for the first few generate
meet With large mortality, decreasing
steadily. however, with each succeeding
generation until point is reached
where severity Of weather counts as but
minor factor as q producer
of loss. He instances illustrations
OF this in other portions of
Iexas with so much reason as to allow
little doubt of the worth of the theory.
A writer for journal devoted to the
sheep industry and a man with large
practical knowledge of the matter gained
from actual experience, favors this
method of acclimating sheep. lie points
to the fact that housing of young lambs
to protect them from the weather de-
prives them of a hardihood which they
never regain afterward and fosters
weakness which ia transmitted to subse-
quent generations. The providing OF
large stacks of loose hay, good as prov
ender, stacked SO as TO ard off the wind
and loose around the edges so as to fur
nish warm beds for young sheep, Is
great method to induce hardihood and
should always be employed where the
rigor of winter is not altogether too
great.

Ciancy's Compromise Proposal.

LONDON, Dec. 3.-Those attending
the Parnellite meeting pledged them
selves not to divulge Clancy s compromise
proposal, but it is believed that the pro-
posal is to ask Gladstone to give satisfac-
tory assurance of Introducing in the prom
Used home rule scheme certain measures
in regard TO police and land.
Messrs Sexton and Healy met the
proposal il great spirit.
Paruell has decided to state explicitly
whether he will retire from the leader
ship, hut he asked two days in which TO
consider Clancy's proposition, which
was cleverly designed in Parnell IS in
terest, with the double object of gaining
time and putting the Sexton side further
wrong in the event of the almost certain
refusal of Gladstone to give the required
pledges.

LIVESTOCK MATTERS.
The Prospects of Free Trade with the
Mexican Republic.
Minister Ryan Gives q Few Hints on the
Subj 'ct-The Barbecue at the Stock
yards To- Day-Other Stock News.

Hoe. Thomas Ryan, United States
minister TO Mexico, was IN Fort Worth
yesterday, and was seen by reporter
concerning the prospects of reciprocity
between that country and the United
States, and the adjustment Of the pres
ent pernicious prohibitive duty placed on
livestock shipped into Mexico from this
side of the Rio Grande.
Minister Ryan was en- route to. his
home in Topeka, Kas., and will proceed
from that city to Washington. He is
now enjoying his annual vacation OF two
months. but says he will in all prob
ability return to rhe Mexican capital be-
fore his leave Of absence expires.
Minister Ryan was not ready, SO he
said, to speak freely of any scheme
which might bear on reciprocity between
the two republics, as it was diplomatic
etiquette not to say much upon the sub
ject. 81 am willing to have you pub
lish my views regarding the benefits OF
such condition of affairs, but that Is
all, - said he. 81 sm firmly of the
opinion that q more liberal Interchange
of trade between the two countries would
benefit both, and I hope to see the time
when such will be the relationship exist
ing between the greatest governments on
the North American continent.
"Is the feeling of hostility to Ameri-
can livestock as strong as it was?''
81 think il is dying out and that when
g commercial treaty is effected between
our government and the Mexican re-
public, livestock will be nut on the free
list, but cannot tell you when that will
be- -
Minister Ryan left last night for the
North, aud it was SAID BY one of the
gentlemen in his party that when he gets
10 Washington he will insist upon freer
trade with Mexico.

DEFECTS IN OUR LAWS.
No Doubt About Their Exlstence-HOw They
Can be Remndiei.

PARIS, TEX, Dec. 2, 1890.
Editor Gazette.
The interview which appeared in THE
GAZETTE Sunday, November 80, relative
to the defects in our laws, which result
in such expose, worry and delay IN our
courts, should be brought to the per-
sonal notice of every voter ard citi-
zen of Texas. There is no legisla ion
whatever that so much demands q deep
interest as the laXity of our laws relative
to bringing witnesses before our courts,
and especially is it so in criminal cases.
Aud take it that the remedy suggested
BY the eminent Fort Worth lawyer would
meet with the unanimous and unqualified
support of every citizen including judges
and attorneys, except now and then
criminal lawyer, whose business it is to
postpone and wear out criminal cases by
reason of unlimited continuances. There
is no way to estimate the enormous ex-
pense entailed by the defects In our laws
that were pointed out by THE GAZETTE
Sunday.
A jury of about thirty men remain idle
for days, drawing their pay and taken
from their homes and business, and
are In attendance upon court from day
to day and term to term, taken from
their business, and the court is power
less under the existing laws and thus it
continues. Suppose the judge orders
attachments for the witnesses who
have dsobeyed the subp9nas,
The sheriff will arrest them, and then
they will give their individual bond or
of "a tar of
cougt it is the same thing over again.
And it does not take many of these con-
tinuances until the case is worn out.
Sometimes the district judge gets worn
threadbare and tries forcing trials, and
if convicted it goes to the court of ap-
peals and is promptly reversed on ac-
count of some alleged evidence that was
not had on the trial. About half OF the
reversals in the court of appeals are on
this GROUND.
I believe that this movement of THE.
GAZETTE to have these laws amended
will meet the hearty appreciation of
every good citizen of Texas.
Last Monday, December l, the GRIM
inal docket in the district court at
Clarksvil.e was called, and the entire
day was taken up and about twenty-five
OF thirty felony cases were called and not
one was tried. In some cases not
single witness answered. Many had been
attached, but what did they care for
their individual bond being forfeited.
There were fifteen or twenty witnesses,
who had been brought under attach
ments from other counties. Their cases
were continued till the next term of
court. Such is the experience at the
beginning of nearly all our criminal
courts. We hope THE GAZETTE will con-
tinue its good work and continue to
wiring this over orr next legislature uutil
we have q remedy. A LAWYER.

THEORIES on sHEEP-Ra1s1sG.

The Acciimating of Sheep a Decided Posi-
bility According TO Shsep-Raisers
The San Angelo Standard of recent
date comments at length upon the wool
industry of its section, and produces sta
tistics which are of interest to the wool
trade. The Standard says that last year
over $500, 600 pounds of wool were
handled IN San Angelo, while from the
city over los 900 head of sheep this sea-
son have been shipped,
The breed of sheep that here fiourishes
SO we'll is the Marine, bearing q slight
strain Of the Mexican. In addition to
this breed the shropshire aud Cotswoids
have been introduced, and these have no
small degree of hardihood In the section.
In many instances a greater care than
usually characterizes the sheep-growing
of Texas prevails and a noticeable in
crease In the average weight OF the sheep
is one of the results. A bunch of 100
mu tons is not infrequently met with at
present.
Mortality in winter time IL not much
increased. even though shelter for that
season l. not provided in many cases.

In Fine Condition.

J. L. Pennington, livestock agent for
the Santa Fee, returned yesterday from a
trip to the Concho country and southern
part of the state. In speaking of this
livestock interest he said that cattle and
sheep are in an exceptionally fine condi-
ton, and especially is this SO in the CEN
:rai western portion of Texas. In the
southern part the grass is short, but in
the Concho country the recent rains have
revived the grass, and the sheep were
never healthier. Mr.. Pennington esti-
mates that there will be 200, 900 sheep
ready for the market after next March :,
together with about 90 900 head of cattle
in the Concho country. Many owners
are holding back their stock, believing
that prices will be better by spring.
