SAN ANTONIO (Texas), April 16.-J. NJ.
Campbell, the most extensive sheep-raiser
in Western Texas, lost % per cent. of his
flock during the past twelve months by
wolves. Campbell hit upon novel plan
of determination. He entrapped twelve
wolves month ago, and put them up
with dog which was badly affected with
the mango. The wolves soon caught the
disease, and are now thoroughly covered
with parasites which produce it. Thev
will be turned loose on the ranch in a
few days, and Campbell expects the dis
ease to spread among the wolves so rapidly
that there will not be one of them left in
Texas in two years.

REPUBLICAN OPPORTUNITY.


No party ever existed that has
had as grand opportunities as the
Republican party has had. 1t came
into power amid the throes OF civil
war, aud because OF the questions
involved, it enlisted in the struggle
the sympathy and aid Of the moral,
the most intelligent and patriotic
body of men and women arrayed at
any one time under one banner since
the world began. The war having
been brought to successful issue,
in the restoration of the Union and
the libration of the slaves, to the
Republican party was committed the
destiny Of a nation Of the most en-
l:ghtened people Oh the face OF the
earth.
Vast areas Of unoccupied land,
mountains of mineral and illimitable
forests awaited development at the
hands of the laborer. To foster ed
ucation, to furnish homes for the in
dnstrious homeless, to build manu-
factories and railroads, to erect
cities in the vast solitudes of the
west, would have immortalized a
meaner. party than the Tories of the
Revolution and with the intelli
gent following of the Republican
party, to accomplish these great re-
suits and leave the wealth producer
in possession of the wealth should
have been the fulfilling of great
mission. The party Iniserably
failed.
1t is true that the great West has
become All immense grain field.
Cities have sprung up like magic
mines have been utilized, and the
whistle Of the locomotive is heard
in every village, and there is no end
to manufactures.
But, who owns all this wealth ?
10 it the men who, by indomitable
pluck and industry, converted the
wilderness into a Garden of Eden ?
Nay, verify! Land grants and
mortgages have absorbed the "homes
of the homeless" Do the mechan-
les own the cities, the operatives
the manufactures, or the engineers
and brakemen the railroads ? Alas (!
thousands of the men who gave
years Of toll in intelligent effort,
creating wealth by the millions of
dollars, are paupers amid the work
uf their own hands, and their chill
dren cry for bread.

The Capital has ceased it's highly
benificent work of paying off the
mortgages of the Kansas farmers,
and is now giving its undivided at
tention to the Peoples party. From
an editorial in the weekly of the 29,
it is evident that the Capital is tar
from friendly to the Populist move
ment. In fact, the Capital goes so
far as to intimate that the Peoples
party is reasonable organization.
OF course, there are only two theo-
ries upon which to base the Capitals
position Either the Capital has been
indulging in an old-fashioned Christ
mas spree, or it labors under the de-
lusion that Jerry Simpson had de-
signs on the government in refusing
to wear socks during his first cam
paign, and that Senator PETER has
committed an overt act in wearing a
long beard.
Now, as the Capital is noted for its
prohibition record, it can hardly be
possible that even Christmas tempt
ed that journal beyond few glasses
from the private jug, so, therefore,
we are forced to the conclusion that
the Capital regards not wearing
socks, or the wearing long beard,
as highly reprehensible and bearing
the ear-marks of reasonable designs.
Of course a journal of the promi-
nence and ability of the Capital
could not be guilty of the stupidity
of alleging that the Peoples party
was guilty of reasonable designs in
that it formulated platform, as 9th
er parties, and nominated men lot
Office, as other parties, and voted for
those men, as voters of other parties;
therefore, that suspicion must be
dismissed, and we are forced to fall
back on the assumption, that the
Capital has a prejudice hereditary,
perhaps against sockless feet and
long boards. Now for the benefit of
the unprecedented, we have to say,
Jerry Simpson showed commenda-
BILE economy in not wearing socks in
this age of extravagance, and that
long boards, according to eminent
physiognomists, are indicative of
large mental powers.

THERE is great deal of sympathy
extended to the Irish peasantry in
their eviction troubles with heartless
landlords-and God knows they
need it. but while our sympathies
are waited away to Erin's shores,
we should not forget that here in

the midst of less number of peO-
pie than there are Irish tenantry,
there are great many more evic-
tions, and for the same cause -nOn-
payment of rent, with the added
heartlessness and brutalities to
which the evicted Irish peasants are
strangers. In the city of New
York, where is the densest-peopled
square in the world, "three hundred
and thirty thousand and over" two
courts are employed to issue evic-
tion papers. The recitals of wrongs
suffered by the evicted ought to
soften the hearts of the most un-

of a great war record-of a host OF

BILE for the untold misery that has

of Americas freemen. The harvest,
though ripe, is not yet gathered.
Only first sickles have been thrust
in. Debts, like mill-stones, are
sinking the masses in the deep
waters of poverty and taxes, and
corporations absorb the earnings of
the toilers. The Republican party,
once the party of Lincoln, long
since ceased to be party Of patri-
otism or lofty aspirations, or party
of the poor man, 1t might have
builded more splendid civilization
than the world has yet seen, where
only it introduced decay. 1t might
have established a republic with
power to rule the world, but has
only undermined the republics chief
cornerstone. Once liberatOr of
slaves, it became All oppressor.
Once a builder of homes, it became
a plunderer of homes-and it died,
it's grandeur and patriotism center
ing only around Abraham Lincoln.
