MEXICAN CATTLE.

One more advantage growing out of
the Gorman-Wilson bill Is the new
market which we furnish for Mexican
cattle. The advantage, however, &C
crues to the Mexican dealer. Substitut-
ing an ad valorum tax OF 20 per cent re-
duces the duty on Mexican cattle from
$40 per head, as provided under the
Mckinley law, TO 81. % under the pres
ent act. The dispatches announce that
several train loads of Mexican cattle are
now Ell route for Chicago and Kansas
City markets. Every bullock imported
from foreign countries takes the place
of one raised In our own country. The
method of grazing cattle on the cheap
lands of Mexico reduces the cost of pro-
duction u the point where il Is next 10
impossible for us 10 compete with
their prices. There Is absolutely
high enough 10 be prohibitive.
and the time is not long when our grain
fed cattle will either be shut out of mar
ket or the price reduced below the cost
of production. The supply of Mexican
cattle is practically unlimited, and when
il is demonstrated that they can be ex-
ported TO our markets they viii come
like swarm OF Egyptian locusts. What
the end will he no one can tell, but it
looks like lower prices for American
cattle.
Thus the beauties of Democratic tariff
legislation are coming TO light every
day. II VIII he months, no doubt. be-
tore lis full effect upon cur markets Is

Despite the weather, several joust-

others, the Earl of Eelinton. clad in a

saturated by the heavy rain that il was
impossible 10 enter them. On the az
ternoon of the second day the weather
cleared, but the sports were confined
TO the ball tent. in which Prince Louis
Napoleon afterwards the Emperor
Napoleon HI, engaged IN a series of
mimic combats on foot against MIR.
afterwards SIR Charles Lamb, both
combatants being sheathed in arnor.
On the third and last day the proceed

fray. It was soon seen, however, that
the blows exchanged between the fiery
Marqtis of Waterford and Viscount
Afford were so far from being amic-
able that the combatants were Separ-
ated by the intervention of the knight
marshal. On the fourth day the rain
was So incessant that by universal con-
sent, the mimic conflict was given up.
So ended the great Eglinton tourna-
ment. after bringing together con-
course of spectators variously estimat-
ed at from $4,000 to 200 600 persons. In
addition TO the vast sum spent upon il

lily 10 get there, while the continent,
the colonies and the United States were
well represented As if to cover the
whole affair with ridlcule. a very
humorous account of the mock fight
ing and of the attempted imitation of
oldworld chivalry was written for an
American journal by the late Mr.. \. p.
Willis, fitting exponent of such a
bazarre scene. To their dying hour

forgot what Scotland is capable OF in

SOMETHING GOING TO DROP.

If ever the Republicans stood I'D in
clean, true lines of battle they are stand
ing there today waiting for the word to
charge on their enemies.
No wonder the Republicans are anx-
ious TO vote. How many years have
the Democrats been ragging at them?
How often, how often. have they bee N
charged by the Democrats with misman
aging the country? The Democrats
have at last got in and what a muss
they have made of it. For years the
Republican party has been accused of
being corrupt. Every officer elected by
Republicans. according to Democratic
belief, had his price Then the Pop
ulsts appeared and took up that howl
They yelled it night aud day. At last
the Populists got in. Look at Lewell-
ing and his crowd
And now the Republicans are going to
resent 1t. \ man vino has been voting
party ticket for thirty years becomes
attached TO that party. He hates TO see
it go down charged with mismanage-
ment and corruption. But when its ac-
cusers cover themselves with shame and
wallow in the mud, how anxious the
average Republican is to so out and
break few Democratic heads. And in
less than two weeks they are going 20
show the Democrats and the Populists
something. They are gong tc give them
a drubbing which they will never forget.
They ought to. The insincere boodling
Populists deserve it and the hard-headed
Democrats have been taught in the past
to expect it.
