The strength of the Clan In Corsica.
In Corsica there is a stronger element of
disorder than mere restlessnesS born of
centuries of rebellion and bloodshed. For
the political corruption and for the crimes
of the vendetta, which combine to make
the state Of Corsica a disgrace to France,
the spirit of clanship is really responsible.
The clan disappeared from the highlands
of Scotland before the civilization of the
Seventeenth century, with which it was
Incompatible. In Corsica it f1ourishes side
by side with the advanced and elaborate
institutions of republican government,
with all of which it is in the bitterest an
tagonism. The spirit of the clan infects
every department of the state. The, cleo
tions are corrupted by it; the hands of the
executive are tied by it; private quarrels
are spread and imbittered by it. It in
vades the law courts, and utterly destroys
the confidence of the people in the impair
TALLY of their magistrates.
The uni in Corsica is not the individual.
1t is the clan. The leader or patron OF the
clan is generally a person of considerable
wealth and influence, both of. which must
be at the service of the meanest of his sup.
porters in whatsoever cause he may re-
quire it. In return, the vote, the services
and even the life of the clansman are at
the disposition of his chief. The spirit
which in q former age responded to the
call to arms is now perverted to secret pc
litical intrigue, to the support of the fam
lily representative at the elections, even to
the darker services of the family vendetta.

Sickler, a Silver Leaf farmer, quarreled
with his wife and friend Saturday night

and sent a bullet through his lungs. Re-
versing his weapon again, he shot F. c..

Van Sickler then placed the gun in his
mouth and blew the top of his head off.

RANGE CATTLE TROUBLES.

Ranges in Montana and Wyoming Are
Overcrowded.
The area of the ranges is becoming
more and more restricted every year.
Not onlyis the area being gradually less
ened, but the grass upon the ranges is
being more and more eaten and trodden
out, SO that the ranges will not support
as many cattle per acre as they did in
years past.
Even when the rains are copious the
grass never appears as luxurious as it
was twenty years ago, and the reaso is
that the grass has been o~verpastured SO
continuously that it has had no oppor-
tunity to recover its old exuberance.
Under present conditions this bad
state of affairs must continue. The
owners of cattle are permitted to use
any part of the public domain for pas
ture. One mar has as much right to
pasture the public domain as another.
If one cattle owner has occupied a GER
tain district of country for pasturage
any other cattle owner can drive his
cattle on the same ground. The mutual
understanding and forbearance of cattle
owners has alone prevented serious diff
culties between them. The differences
between Abraham and Lot show that
like troubles must occur where any pas
ture is overcrowded.
The ranges of Montana and Wyoming
are now o~vercrowded. There is more
danger to the cattle interests from over
crowding than from stealing. AS the
country settles up this danger must in
crease.
The question naturally arises, Is there
no way of preventing the overcoming
Of the ranges? If all our lands could be
occupied by small farmers and stock
growers in another generation the whole
matter would be practically settled.
But there must always remain large
bodies of land which can be put to no
practical use except for pasturage. The
question is therefore a vital one and
must be solved.
AS the ranges become more circum-
scribed and the grass under the present
system of pasturage poorer and poorer,
conflicts must arise between cattle own
ers. These owners will not be able to
agree to disagree, as did Abraham and
Lot. The law must step in and make
some regulations to preserve the peace
between cattle owners and property in
cattle, unless a valuable interest is per-
mitted to be destroyed. The best plan,
it seems to us, is for the state govern
ments to be given control of the ranges
and the officers of the respective coun.
ties, with proper supervision, be re-
quired to make such divisions in the
range as the face of the country will
permit, leasing the right of pasture in
such divisions as they may choose to
make for a term of years, and using the
money so obtained to police the several
counties so as to prevent any trespassing
or injury to stock growing. Atany rate
things cannot go on as they are now.
Already owners of large numbers of cat
tie are preparing to go out of the bust
ness, for they foresee disaster if it is to
be continued as now COMMUNICATIONS

Ancient Foot Coverings.

If we are to judge Of the foot coverings
anded down to us as relics from the
courts of France, Spain, England and Ger
many we can but conclude that for an ex-
tremely long period of time, probably eight
or ten centuries, the dressing of the human
foot has been, even in the so called civil
liked countries, but slightly different, and
only in degree from the customs of the fol-
lowers of Confucius for thousands of years.
fortunately for art, unfortunately for the
history of civilization, so called, the artist
of olden as we'll as modern times has not
copied, except in portraiture, the cramped
foot, the narrow toe, the elevated heel and
the pinched9 instep, whichr have long &C.
companied the human foot. It seems
reasonable to suppose, however, that the
Roman artist and critic, and the Grecian
as we'll, fully attempted to give us the per
feet foot as found in the well developed
Grecian woman of the day. ,.r.
The sandals worn al the time when
Rome was in her splendor were undoubt-
eddy 80 constructed as to afford ample op-
p%ortunity for the development of the foot
and exhibit the beauty Of it's conformation.

The Great Press Associations Lose
All Their Wires by the Present
Storms.
Tslegraphic Business to Be Re
sumed Only on q Restricted
Scale.
It Is the Worst Storm That Has Ever
Troubled the Corporations for
Years.
Trouble Along the Wires.


ST. PAUL, Nov. lS.-This has been an
anxious day for telegraph companies
and newspapers. For the first time in
a great while the two great press asso-
Citations have lost all their wires in a
territory bounded on the north by
Minneapolis, on the south by st. Louis.
on the east by Chicago, and on the west
by Omaha. It may be a week before
the wires are in complete repair,
although business will be resumed on a
restricted scale in a few hours. The
only communication with the outside
world during the day was by means of
the extreme west, news being obtained
in a roundabout way over the Southern
Pacific route to Denver, thence to Ogden,
Utah, Helena, Mont, and via the North
ern Pacific to st. Paul.
Said an officer of the Western Union:
cit is the worst storm that ever troubled
us. During the night u Chicago wires
began to be killed, but we supposed only
temporarily and that in a few hours they
would be all right. The storm kept
getting worse, and by - o'clock to-day
our eastern communication was limited
to La Crosse, Wis, and southern to
Sioux City, Ia. For a short time we had
a wire open to Kansas City, but this has
been killed, indicating that the storm is
slowly working westward. We will try
to get eastern communication by way of
San Francisco and the Southern Pacific.
We can't tell how far south the storm
has extended and don't know whether
We will be successful or not. We cannot
tell the extent of the storm, but know
the only wires open are those north and
west"
The storm played havoc with trains as
we'll as telegraphic service, and all trains
from the east are late-in some instances
indefinitely.
