The Richest European Sovereign.

The czar of Russia is the richest sovereign in Europe and one ot the richest men in the world. The in- come ot the imperial family of Rus sia is derived from the crown lands which are regarded as the czar's private estate and treated as such. Theycomprise over1 ,eaa,o 900 square miles, about one-third of the area of the United States, and include farms, pasture or grazing land and forests, while hundreds of villages are built on them, the inhabitants of which pay their rent to the czar. Many gold, silver and other mines are included in the property, and the output of these is believed to be very large. There are no means of ascertaining the exact income of thee ezar, since the imperial accounts are not more open to the public than the books of a private individ- ual, but it is estimated by Russians in official position at 92,45O,0OO a year, about $12,25O,0O0. Of this enormous sum 9 portion is devoted to the maintenace of hospitals asy- lums, churches and theaters, but the larger part is swallowed up by the personal and official expenses.of the imperial family.-St. Louis Globe Democrat.

\ Beef Famine Predicted.

Under the above head the Michi-
 gan City. Indiana, Evening News
 has an article that may prove of
 interest to our cattle raisers. At
 least it will give them an idea ofwhat people further east are beginning to think of the cattle business.
 "It is predicted that the country is now on the verge of a beef fam inc. and that very shortly the prices will be materially advanced upon that very necessary article of con- sumption. In fact, pricse have al- ready gone up in Michigan City, the butchers forming a schedule of advanced prices yesterday, which was published in the News. The fact that Chicago beef men are buy ing up every head of cattle obtain able west and south, is an anticipa tion of the scarcity of beef, and it now looks as though beef would be- come a luxury unless something is done to increase the supply. The United States government IS taking up the vast grazing lands ill the vest and southwest, ranges are be- ing cut up into settlements, and to- gether with the scarcity of feed and the hard winters of the past few years, it is no wonder cattle are scarce. Not only are steers dis posed of, but cows and calves are being sent to markets, virtually de- priying us of the source of produc- ton.
 "1>he production of beef in In- diana is small, and 1t is the same throughout tbe east and northeast, and it ie to the west and northwest thas we must look for beef.

An Epidemic Of Crime.

The extraordinary prevalence of crimes ofviolence enforces attention and renders fearless inquiry into I most distasteful subject a para mount duty It Is deplorable that the pages of the daily papers should be filled with reports of horrible murders and pitiablo suicides. But such, unhappily, is the burden of the news oft day, and for the de- lection of felons, the prevention of self-destruction and the safe guard ing of the community, 1t is essen- tial that publicity should be given to the description of such deplora ble events in plain but decorous language. Society must have know ledge of crime ard misery in order to take effective measures to protect itself against them. For the recent phenomenal outbreak of murder and suicide it is difficult to account except on the theory that deaths by violence are most common when natural mortality is greatest A depressing disease like the grip, which destroys hope and induces despair, inspires recklessness of the life of oneself or others often amounting to madness, There may be a connection between the malady which has caused many sufferers to throw themselves out of windows and the passion for bloodshed that has been so fearfully manifested during March and April. It seems that death was in the air" by vio- lence as we'll as by disease. The pious will appeal to Divine mercy for abatement of the scourge. The authorities should labor to render living conditions more cheerful and more healthful. All good citizens will do their part in taking advan- tage of fine and healthy weather to diminish the harvest of death gar nered through sickness or through crime.-New York Recorder.

IF the recent explosion which came so near proving that the Eter- nal City was not entcrnal had in terferred with the political activity of our ex-Czar, there is one man in the country who could have taken his place. It is Mr. P, P. Elder, lately speaker of the Kansas House. It was he who, on one occasion, ordered his deputy in the chair to declare a motioned carried when it was not carried; and who, on an other occasion, stated frankly in defense of his ruling, that he didn't care anything about fairness-he had the power.

1 be more vlSIble-"1here IS eVl dence of an increase demand fol feeding steers as the season ad' vances.

 Keenan & Sons Chicago market report: Receipts of cattle for the week are less than for any week so far this year, about 44,000 head, and while the market has not ad- vanced rapidly, there has been a steady and firm market during the week, with a slight advance of 25 cents per hundred on all grades since our last report, We call the advance slight for the reason we think with the present light re- ceipts the advance should have been S100 per hundred pounds, but buyers are using every effort to keep prices down, claiming it is impossi ble to sell the beef at prices that get them out even, let alone req sonable profit, but we think that it is only a question of time when they will have to advance the price materially or shut up shop until we get larger receipts. Feeders have been free shippers for several months. Cattle that are on feed at the present time are ill a few hands and will come onto the mar the "last day in the morning" un- less prices advance materially.
 That prices for range beef the com ming summer and autumn will ba better than for years there is at this time no doubt. still word of eau ton to shippers at this early day will not be deemed out of, order by the thoughtful. It is the shortage of supply that effects values and the more apparent the shortage t e more marked the effects. Hence let ranchmen cut their herds ex- ceedingly close-sending out only the tops. Everything not fat and choice will bring good values for feeders or will materially increase in value on the range if held over for another year. Keep them off the general market and reduce sup plies that much. Sell feeders di- rect to the farmers if you can, thus preventing them from being count ed at the market centers.-North- western Live Stock Journal.
