THE ADVANCE IN CATTLE.
What an Energetic Citizen Has Done
Toward Promoting it.-Ring Methods
of Bearing the Market.

The resent advance in the prize of
beef cattle has benefited Nevada cattle
men to the extent of thousands of dol
lars, and had it occurred earlier in the
year it would have been still more bene-
fetal. The general cause of the advance
is the scarcity of beef cattle, and the To-
cal causes are the action of the cattle
owners in exercising discretion, viii, h
they did not dc a year ago, and the en-
ergy OF John Sparks who has shipped
a number of t ainloads of cattle east.
These cattle would have given the San
Francisco buyers opportunity to bear
the market and keep prices a cent or
two per pound lower than they now are.
A year ago last fall the San Francisco
cattle ring had a census taken at the
expense of the cattle men, of all the
beeves in the country. Cattlemen were
invited to send their names, places oil
residence and number Of cattle which
they intended to market to certain pa
pers for publication. The unsuspect.
ing stockmen were led to believe thai
it would benefit them to do 80 and they
complied with the request. The cattle
sharks were furnished with the infor.
nation they desired and they divided
the territory among themselves and
compelled the cattle owner t. come to
their terms. The cattle men cav
through the game after awhile and dis
covered they had been sold. That game
could not be- played again last fall so q
new n was tried. 1t was proclaimed
in certain papers about election time
that tent OF thousands of cattle were
being imported from Mexico in conse-
quence of low tariff; that Nevada beei
cattle would be sold for q song, and that
hay in consequence, would be unsale-
able. This was to have the double effect
Of frightening cattlemen so that they
~onld sell at any price offered, and
causing ranchers who had hay, to dis
pose of it for what they could get. Now,
when too late, they see the points in
that game, and will not be taken in by
it again. No doubt some other method
will be devised next fall for giving the
cattle ring the neutrality-suspicious..
The Gazette used much time and space
to take the cattle census of Nevada. It
had columns about Mexican cattle all
for the benefit =, of the honest rancher
and producer.

Our Washington correspondent a v
Friends of the administration say that
England has assured this government
that it will not violate the Monroe doc
trine in enforcing its demands upon Mic
aragua, but it is noticeabl that these
same gentlemen express much satisfac-
ton because there ia 9 strong feet oil
United States vessels in the neighbor-
hood of Nicaragua to watch the English
war vessels known to b ON the way
there. All of which indicates that the
administration is not entirely satisfied
with those assurances. A diplomat,
privately discussing the matter, said /:
SIT must be remembered in considerii z
those assurances that the English gov
ernment DOES not put the same mean
ing upon the Monroe doctrine that the
Americans do. Consequently it may
do things which it considers no violation
of that doctrine, but which may be con-
sidered very differently by this govern
ment. 1t would not surprise me il there
were shots exchanged by the war ships
of the two countries before the affair is
over"

RIGID RULES.
What the Teachers of Virginia Propose
Doing.


The Enterprise says: As a result of
the attempt on the part of a Virginia
school girl to commit suicide on Monday,
the teachers of the Fourth Ward school
dismissed the boys yesterday and gave
the girls some excellent advice which
they insist upon being followed, backing
up their authority by that OF the police
department.
No girl will be permitted to walk to or
from school with young men. If it is
discovered that any school girl IS break
ing this rule the girl will be expelled
and the young nan arrested. This
course on the part of the teachers savors
somewhat of closing the stable door after
the horse has been stolen, but it is a
good rule which has been i~naugurated
and it 10 the general hope of the citizens
Of Virginia that it may be rigidly en-
forced, The manner in which some of
the sapient school misses Of the town
have carried on in the streets with young
men has already been sufficient to excite
remark and is unquestionably a menace
to the honor and virtue of the rising gen.
aration.
The Chronicle of last evening, how
ever. denies that there is any truth in the
above 90 far as IL has reference to the
proposed arrest of young meA who walk
to and from school with the girls, but
SAYS:
1t has been the practice for some time
for . number of youths and young men
to post themselves upon G street and
abont the Fourth Ward school for the
purpose of claiming the time and atten-
ton Of school girl before, between and
after school hours. This is something
which the school authorities, the public
and parents should break up, If the girls
are to be protected from communicating
Influences. The two best aso why
this practice should DO broken up 10
firstly, because q school girl should not
be distracted from her studies by
disturbing external influences, and,
secondly, because young men whom
idleness permits to devote their time to
such purposes are not of the best char
acter, and their attentions under such
circumstances are bound to be more or
less demoralizing.
