an actual cultiEator Of the soil is not to be
regretted. There was an impressive free.
dom about bis occupation of riding over the
plains after herds of haltwild cattle; and
a still greater aspect of unique lawlessness
in his amusements at the frontier towns
where he enjoyed his leisure moments. But
there will be more real industry, solidity
will take his place and bring under actual
cultivation the country which was before
used simply as grazing grounds for rowing
herds.
The existence of the cattle companies who
occupied, in many cases, without owning,
vast tracts of territory, on which their
herds were pastured, has been prolonged in
the Indian Territory, by the leases which
those corporations obtained from the Indian
proprietors of that section. That system
having been stopped by the Government,
the Indians will have to raise cattle them
selves or occupy their lands in ssveralty.
In other parts of the West the decline of the
great cattle ranges, which is the real and
most satisfactory cause Of the passing of the
cowboy, has been more marked. An evil
dence of this is given in the statements
made with regard to Wyoming, in connec-
tion with its proposed admission to the
Union. A few years ago the Wyoming
Cattle Association, composed of the owners
of ranches, was the great power of that Ter
ritory. Now it is practically defunct, and
the ranches are being displaced by farms
whose owners raise comparatively small
herds Of cattle. But although these farmers
seem to be unimportant compared to the
great ranchers, the certainty of their returns
from the cultivation of the soil and the pro-
vision of feed for their cattle, have enabled
them to almost entirely displace the
ranches.
1t is satisfactory indi1ati that the
democratic farm is able so easily to displace
the aristocratic rancho, with the advan-
tages of capital. possession and influence
all on the side Of the latter. It is one of the
surest indications of the innate strength
which is held by the distribution OF prop
erty and industry among the greatest num-
Der of small property holders. The termi-
nation of the cowboys career, presents its
most satisfactory aspect as an indication of
the end of the employers of the cowboy,
the great corporations which threatened
only short time ago to absorb the lands of
the West. A great deal of land is still in
the hands of absentee holders; but with this
demonstration of the superior vitality of
the ownership by actual cultivators,
policy of intelligent legislation, Will insure
its ultimate division into the small farms
that have formed the bases of both the pros
perity and the popular institutions of this
country.
The DISPATCH has always held that the
remedy for the depression and evils of the
cattle range system was the division of the
land among actural cultivators The pass
ing away of cattle barons and the cowboys,
and their replacement by the small farmers,
is complete corroboration of that view.

DEMOCRATS, WEEK.


The political scenes have shifted. and
this week the Democrats have the stage.
At Scranton they will put up their candi-
dates for State Offices and make their formal
bids for support.
With Delamater heading the Republican
ticket, the most available Democratic cam
didase, by long odds, will be Pattison.
Already his candidacy has had tremendous
boom since Wednesday. Ex-senator Wal
lace, who also wants to lead the Democracy
on this occasion, is an old hand at the wires;
but the wave of popular enthusiasm for Pat
tison promises to entirely submerge the
Clesrfeld statesman.
Between the two men there is hardly
room for comparison at this juncture. Pat
tison is the stronger by far with the people.

CLOVER.

The trees across the garden fling,
Long shadows, and the robins siEg,
Or idly chatter as the day
Dies out from rosy red to gray;
Eight times the village clock has told
Another day is growing old.
The evening wind AGO urting flies,
And kisses all the daisies eyes;
From clover's breath It brews spell.
That winds around my heart SO well.
That swift Pm carried o'er the seas
To You. my lost Hesperidesl
And with you there walk again,
And laugh and castles build-in SpaiuA
There's honeysuckle, too, and phlox,
The roses bloom above the box.
But he who will may have the rest,
love the clover field the bestl
Mind you the lullaby she sang,
To hush us when the curfew rang?
'sOver and over,
cover and over,
sThe belted bee is robbing the cloverrn
It's ringing in my ears tonight
Love speeds the mem'ry in its flight.

NOT REMARKABLE PRosPRRIr,

The discussion of the depression, or other
wise, of the farming interest, produces a
wide variety of opinion, as was seen by the
debate at the meeting of the Pennsylvania
Board of Agriculture. An Atlanta paper
has made an investigation of the returns of
farming in that section, which is reported to
show that the farmers there have, for the
past five years, cleared an annual profit of
20 per cent. This, if the figures are accurate,
would indicate that farming in Georgia
must be exceptionally profitable, or that the
agricultural industry is much less depressed
than has been represented. Certainly the
general industries on which a return of 20
per cent can be secured are very few.
But the ease with which calculations of
this sort can 60 widely astray may be indi-
Gated by the question whether in this inyes-
tigation the wage value of the labor of the
farmers was included in the expenses be-
fore stating the profits. The details of
the investigation are not before us; but
statement is made in connection with the
general results which shows how far from
correct the assertion of 20 per cent profit
may be. The farmers, it is said, "have sup
ported their families and made four per
cent year besides" But that leads up to a
very different percentage. A mans labor
as a general rule should support his family,
and if, in addition, his capital engaged in
any industry only yields him four per cent
interest where he takes all the risks, it must
be regarded as very slim return.
Perhaps the farmers have given their
families somewhat better living than they
could have done, if they had been working
ior wages; but even with allowance for that,
the return on their capital. less than the
fSte which mortgage investors would ask
for improved security on the property Of the

A YOUNG man and his father living out
in Missouri made such good use of their rifles
in holding discussion with some White Caps
who had come to tar and feather them, that
the latter were induced to abandon their en-

ceedingly effective though unpleasant argu-
ments. but the logic of those who keep their
rifles handy and their powder dry is altogether
the most powerful. The cure for the White
Cap evil, in default of better, is to learn to
shoot quickly an straight.
