THE CATTLE ADVANCE.
Reasons for the Recent Stiff
Prices.

From all sections OF the country
comes the same story of advancing
prices for cattle The best Eastern
! authorities on the beef market are
unanimous in the belief that there
/ will be a shortage for several years TO
come in beef cattle, and prices must
! advance. As bearing on this advance
Of prices, Clay Robinson & Co.. the
well-known commission merchants
who publish the Live Stock Report,
have published a comprehensive CEN
sus of the present feeding situation.
A shortage OF 40 per cent compared
with last year is estimated in the
supply of cattle to come forward by
July 18th This is the conservative
conclusion from an Inquiry which
has been pushed into all the chief
feeding districts.
On the same point the Chicago Dro-
vers Journal says The high price
for cows for the past sixty days has
resulted in active shipments until the
supply in the country is pretty well
exhausted 1t is said by some who
have made a pretty careful canvass
that there has not been such a search
ty of stock in years. The result of
this depletion will be seen in the next
two or three years, and some believe
that the scarcity of good beef cattle
l. Pol han hon ~
is now Dressed. beef men do not re-
gard the outlook as very favorable to
their interests, but under such cir.
cumstances the chances are that the
consumptive demand will be suffici-
ent to keep the price Of dressed meat |
products in ratio equal to the adj
vance in live cattle
In sympathy with the rise in prices I
in the East has come an advance in /
the local markets throughout Mon I
tana. The advance is not confined to |
beef cattle, but the price for live stock
have been moving up the scale for
some time, and producers have been
having lutte to grumble at. The
is still upward, and it has
been a good many years since the i
general outlook for all kinds of stock
has been SO good
Now if Montana stockgrowers can
have good Spring rains, next winter
all the cattlemen can go to California
and some of the sheepmen can quit
postponing meals.-Montana Stock

The Texas Farm and Ranch says:
Beef cattle have advanced about 25
per cent in the past sixty days. and
ranchmen are happy.

The MORNING. APPEAL.
THE PAROLE SYSTEM.
It is Advocated by an inmate Of
the Prison.

The APPEAL has received from 2. 5
Kepdrick now confined in the State
Prison very well written pamphlets
entitled "The Meditations Of Prison.
err Ia this he advocates the Parole
System. He uses among other argu-
ments the following:
would give prisoner who would
show by his conduct spirit of reform
a parole after half Of his time, with
conditions attached, as is done in the
Minnesota state prison, SO that, should
he fall back into his old way of Uv-
ing, he would be returned to prison to
serve out the roma nder of his SEN
tence. By this means you to all in
tents and purposes hold a power over
him. ard he will be very careful as to
what he is about. This habit in time
win grow upon him, and be the cause
of making him good citizen and
trustworthy member Of society To
men serving life sentence / would, on
the recommendation OF the prison
warden, give 3 parole after man
slaughter sentence has been served
This is class OF men that deserve
some looking after by the kindly in
terest OF humane persons. Give them
hope and encouragement. Do not
leave them to their own morbid
thoughts: you cannot tell what drove
them to an act they will regret. wheth-
er in or out Of prison.
In connection with the parole law
We should Rave our prisoners guarded
as first, second and third class. Civ
ing to the second grade or class ad-
vantages above the third, and to first
above the second, giving them mo-
tive to reform their ways while yet in
prison. and their partial liberty from
the first class by parole By this
means you instil into the prisoner a
habit for good which in time will take
root and prove blessing, not only to
the prisoner. but also source Of
pleasure to those bringing it about
He also advocates allowing married
men to work ont on parole, their earn
ings to 90 to their families.

The joint success of yourself and Lord
Kimberly in planting the British flag
and extending British rule over Mica
ragua is admired and applauded by
every loyal subject of the Queen, and

spect of all true Englishmen. Your
great and magnanimous nature will
not be disturbed by unreasonable
| complaints of any of your own coun
trymen who continue TO cling to The
narrow and unreasonable preju,!i"es
which the defendants of the rebels of
1876 still entertain against that great
and good government which is It'll
willing to protect us. notwith standing
the i'll will and ingratitude of our de-
luded ancestors.
Your exalted position enables
you to see the great advantage Of the
Gordon of Briti-h naval stations
guarding our exposed seaports on
two oceans, and the great security and
commercial advantages the Nicaragua
canal will afford under British juris-
diction Your clear vision spans the
continent and extends to far off is
lands Of the Pacific, and you fully
comprehend the complete protection
that the navy of Great Britain, with
headquarters at Honolulu would be to
the Pacific Coast.
The people Of the United States will
view with much satisfaction the prep
arations which you and Lord Kimber-
ly are making to present the claims of
British and American subjects who,
in the interest Of the mother country,
conspired to overthrow the Republican
Government of Hawaii The fact that
the conspirators were unsuccessful
aggravates the crime Of the republic
in maintaining its constitutional
Government. and furnishes you and
Lord Kimberly ample justification for
demanding imp possible reparation. to
make an excuse for planting the Bri
fish flag and extending British rule
over the only remaining outpost in
the Pacific where military establish
ment by an unfriedly power would
menace the commerce of the United
States
when you have fully secured the
protection OF England for our extend
ed seacoast on both oceans and the
construction OF the Nicaragua canal
at the expense Of the United States for
the benefit of Great Britain your econ
omy will be appreciated When the |
trouble and expense by the unjnstifi
able wars and contentious Of your |
predecessors against our mother |

turn Of the key, it is stated, the front
wheel Of the machine can be locked in

If Spain had hunted for a general whose
mission was to annihilate the Spanish army
no one could have been better suited than
and tired soldiers have any rest. They die
of hunger, for they are without food or
clothes under burning sun in this deadly
climate. The AutOnOmiSt party says that In
Surrect1On in arms is necessary to force the
government to favor autonomy. Shame to
these false patriots who live on miserable
bread that the despot throws to them. Sol
diers from Mahon. Spanish province, have
gone over to the insurgents ranks. The
daily expense of the Spaniards runs up to
$4,000. Martinez CampOS has lost already
10000 men. Soldiers die in the city Of Man
zanillo in the streets Of fever. Famine
spreads through the province of Cuma. In
