the members Of the Democratic and
Republican national committees to as
certain their choice of cities for the

the two parties favored st. Louis as
the convention city, and a small ma
jority Of the Democrats favored Vice
President Stevenson for president,
while large majority of Republicans
were outspoken for Mckinley.

About Cattle.

1t seems clear that the advance in
prices Of cattle and meat SO notice
able lately is due to shortage in sup.
ply. The low prices that prevailed
the past three years made it unprof.
table for farmers and ranchmen to
carry large numbers. The drouth last
year and high prices Of feed necessi-
tated unusually close marketing. Hard
times also caused free selling. The
result is being realized. The pros
pective supply in the west is 25 to 40
per cent short of last year, and will
remain so for at least three years, as
it requires three years to fully develop
a prime steer. That there IS marked
shortage is apparent in a reduction in
receipts Of cattle at Chicago, Kansas
City, st. Louis and Omaha since Jan
uary of 275,0OO as compared with

President Cleveland's last letter on
the money question shows no change
of voice and no wavering in attitude
as expressed IN 1891. Then politi.
clans said his silver views took him
out of the race for presidential honors.
He withstands pressure to-day as well
as then.
How about the Republicans who
are heading the list for presidential
honors in 1896? Mckinley has been
on every side Of the question. He
does not speak plainly and brayely on
the question to-day. Reed is afraid
to declare his sentiments and dallies
with both sides. Allison and Harrison
are in the same boat. The president
wants the matter brought before the
people, his letter has put the wheels
in motion. his opponents want it to
rest as quietly as possible. The con-
trast IS an honorable one for President
Cleveland.

The night is come, the house is packed,
From pit to gallery,
AS those who through the curtain peep
Quake inwardly to see.
A squeak's heard in the orchestra,
AS the leader draws across
TIL intestines of the agile cat
The tail of the noble hoss.
All Is at sea behind the scenes;
Why do they fear and funk?
Alas, alas, the Hunky Kid
Is lamentably drunk!
He's in the most unlovely state
OF half-intoXication,
When men resent the hint they're tight
AS a personal imputatiOn!
Ring up! Ring up" Orlando cried,
"Or we must cut the scene;
For Charles the Wrestler is imbued
With poisonous benzine;
And every moment gets more drunk
Than he before has been."
The wrestling scene has come and Charles
Is much disguised in drink;
The stage to him's an inclined plane,
The footlights make him blink.
Still strives he to act well his part
Where all the honor lies,
Though Shakespeare would not in his lines
His language recognize.

This man of bone and Drawn,

Fetch your Orlandos on!'

| AS the two wrestlers in the ring
Grapple right furiously;
But Charles the Wrestler had no sense
or dramatic propriety.
| He seized on Mr.. Romeo Jones,
In Graeco Roman style;
| tie got what they call a grapevine lock
On that leading Juvenile;
| He flung him into the orchestra,
| And the man with the ophiclede,
| On whom he fell, he just said-well
No matter what-and died!
When once the tiger has tasted blood
And found that it is sweet,
He has habit of killing more
Than he can possibly eat.
And thus 1t was with the Hupky Kid.
In his homicidal blindness,
He lifted his hand against Rosalind.
| Not in the way of kindness.
He chased poor Celia off at l.,
At l.. y. T.. lie Beau,
And he put such head upon Duke Fred
In fifteen seconds or so.
