LIVE STOCK ON RANGES.

Bulletin No. 1T issued from the cen
sus bureau is devoted to live stock on
ranges in the United States. The emu
merators had great difficulty in exactly
determining the bo der line between
range stock md stock on farms owned
by farmers who are constantly extend ng
their farm area. Large numbers of are,
during portions of the year, within farm
enclosures, and at other times on the
ranges. Owing to this difficulty in ex-
actly defining the lines of range and
farm stock; and to avoid Implications,
only the stock known to be outside of
that taken as farm stock is included in
the tables of the bulletin. The figures
of all stock upon farms will appear in
the reports of live stock on farms when
published, and will be in addition to
those contained in Bulletin No. III.
1t is found that in June. 1890, there
were upon the ranges SIT, ,12S horses,
5,433 mules. 14.109 asses or burros,
6, ,S28, 1872 cattle, 6,676, 902 sheep, and IT,
276 swine, with sales of horses in 1889
amounting to 81 AIS, ,2O5: of cattle, S17,-
913, 712; of sheep, S2,669, ,663, and of
swine, S27, ,132. The total number of
men reported upon the ranges in care
of this stock is 10, 800. The industry
is found to be more generally
prosperous at this time than for several
years previous, though much more cir
cumscribed in the area of country occu-
pied for range purposes. Since the CEN
sus of 1880 great changes have taken
place in the industry of range cattle.
Large areas once used as ranges are now
inclosed as farms and the cattle are
driven to new and distant feeding
grounds. A large portion of Texas, Colo
RADIO, Oregon. Washington and California,
of Kansas, and one-half of Ne
braska have been converted into farms
during the last decade, and with the
present rate, at which public lands are
being taken up for permanent homes,
continued for few years more the live
stock industry as conducted upon ranges
must become extinct There is no dan
ger, however, that the industry will suf-
fer from lack of stock, since it has been
taken up by the farmers. And while it
will grow and increase in the number of
cattle produced in the aggregate, it will
also improve i'll the quality of stock pro-
1uced, and consequently in value.

DISTRICT JUDGESHIP.

! Much has been said concerning the re-
sPective candidates for the district Judge
ship and some rarties have gone far out
of the way of fair criticism of the merits
and qualifications OF Judge Reed.
1t is evident to a fair minded, reason
able man, that such dirty. unseemly and
unjust attacks upon Judge Reed can
only emanate from those who have a
personal grievance and the willing tools
of a certain class who because they do

of Butler county had arise at midnight
and were on their way to Ell Dorado before
daylight. We don't believe that the Re
publican farmers of the average Kansas
county could be persuaded to do so bold
and grand thing, but such a demon
stration as was witnessed at Ell Dorado
occurring in Sedgwick county would up
set this city and be worth a thousand
v'tes to the Republican party. People
grow tired of platitudes of tame speeches
and long for such rocket as stirs the

rah as causes the enemy to hunt his hole

THE ALLIANCE AND ITS DOOM.

From Sol MilIer's Chief
An Alliance man writes to ask us why
we think men are dishonest or fools be-
cause they belong to the Alliance? We
believe we answered substantially the
same question some months ago; but we
will try it again, and endeavor to make
it plain.
First, then, we don't think anything
of the kind. We think that majority
of the members of the Alliance are Just
exactly like the average of all other men.
They are human beings, and are got up
with all the various feelings. tempera-
ments and dispositions of other men.
But even the best of men may be tenn
porarily influenced against their cool
judgment For instance, mob is often
composed of the best citizens, who are
swayed by some temporary excitement
that amounts to a craze, when ludg-
ment is lost sight of, and excesses are
committed. A streak of unfortunate
luck had made the farming community
discontented No political party was
responsible for it; but designing
men taking advantage OF the
temper of the people, organized a So
ciety that lay the whole blame on poll
tics, and offered great promises of relief
to the discontenled- They were in a
proper temper to be swayed by such
promises, and surrendered their common
judgment, permitting others to control
them. Those others, unfortunately,
were designing, dishonest, scheming
men, having purposes Of their own TO
accomplish. Their organization was in
geniously made secret and oath-bound,
so that it was impossible to combat their
erroneous doctrines and misrepresenta-
tlons, for no one was permitted to know
them except those who were sworn 10
keep them secret. This oath, If IL did
not compel them TO vote as the order
directed, was so construed, and was
used to accomplish that purpose; and
Is those scheming leaders dictated the
policy OF the order, they virtually con-
trolied the vote. As another means Of
strengthening the delusion, efforts were
made 10 prevent members Of the Alliance
from listening to speakers CT reading
newspapers of other parties They were
not TO be permitted 70 hear the other side

PURE DEMOCRACY.

The Democratic state central commit
tee, that is to say fifteen of the forty
members of the committee, held meet
ing in Topeka Saturday. The meeting
was called and held ostensibly in the in
terest of the party in the state, but in
point of fact to quiet the disturbance in
the party caused by the action of Chair
man Jones in endorsing the collusion of
wing of the party with the Alliance in
Reno county and refusing to recognize
the stalwart wing that refused to go into
the collusion, and put out a straight
ticket. The fifteen put thick coat of
whitewash on Jones, and then furnished
him an overcoat in the form of this reso-
luton which they adopted:
Resolved, That the Democratic state
central committee of Kansas deem it un-
wise and ineXpedient TO interfere with the
local politics of the different counties in
he state, trusting that their own good
Judgment, together with their knowledge
of the political situation in their own
counties, will lead them to do nothing
which will eventually prove detrimental
to the interests OF the Democratic party of
Kansas.
The plain interpretion of the resolution
is that if the local party managers deem
it expedient to combine with the Alli-
ance, ''in the interest of the party" it is
proper and right to do so. There is an
exemplification of democracy, pure and
simple. 1t is anything to beat the
Republican party"
