preached against political corruption, for
reelection to the School Board on Saturday,

THE CATTLE AND MEAT TRADE

OF the live stock arriving in the United
Kingdom during the first six months Of
1896 the United States supplied IS per
cent of the cattle and As per cent of the
sheep. The representatives Of the De-
partment Of Agriculture abroad report
that cattle from the United States ar
rived at English ports in excellent con-
dition, and the Glasgow market is espe-
cially commended to American shippers.
Notwithstanding the fact that rs per
cent Of all the beeves imported into Eng
land are shipped from the United States,
proving that England can get cheaper
meat here than in any other country,
politicians attempt to create the impress
sion among cattlemen that the low price
Of beeves for several years past was due
to the low tariff on cattle.

Noting the fact that Secretary Morton
reports that y per cent Of the farms Of
the United States are free from mort
cages. The Philadelphia Record ex-
presses the belief that on investigation it
would be discovered that in . majority
Of instances the mortgages on the 2S per
cent of m~ortgaged farms represent money
borrowed for improvements, and con-
cludes finally that while the American
farmer sometimes growls, he all in all is
the most prosperous tiller Of the soil and
the most independent in the world.
Replying to the above tine Salt Lake
Tribune says: We will guarantee that no
man has paid any mortgage from the
proceeds of his farm during the past ten
years. We will guarantee that in the
last four years he has not, from the prof.
its Of the farm, paid the interast on his
mortgage. We will guarantee, further,
that il ten years ago he ~mortgaged his
farm for 40 per cent Of its value, unless
be has means outside the farm to pay in
terest and principal, he is not worth q
cent to-day, that the mortgage is equal
to the full value of his premises. In the
flush days Of farming, the average farm
did not pay to exceed ten per cent on the
investment. Since then the products of
the farm have been reduced 80 per cent
in price. To say that men under such
circumstances can pay current expenses.
and have anything left, is 10 fly straight

President Clevelsnd's regular annual
message TO Congress on the state OF the
Union was read in the United States
Senate and House Of Representatives
last Monday. II is voluminous docu-
ment, occupying no less than fifteen col
umns' space in any Of the metropolitan
dailies. The message is very dissp-
pointing even TO . large number OF sd-
mirers Of the President regarding his at
titude on the Cuban question. He
does not believe this Government should
recognize the Cubans or give them any
support in their eight for independence;
favors the foreclosure by the Government
of the mortgages held against the Pacific
Railroads; strongly advocates the retire
ment Of the greenbscks. and believes in
extending the power Of national banks.
These are the most pertinent points in
the message. Taken 81 . whole, il is
generally conceded to be the weakest
state paper that has ever emanased from
the White House.

OUR STANDING ARMY.

From the annual report Of Secretary
Lamont, made public November Goth,
we take the following notes:
Under the new system established by
Secretary Lamont. the army has for the
first time been paid monthly. Over Sl4,-
600, 900 was disbursed. The saving to
the Government by the system is about
$4,000 annually, and ID appears to en-
courage economy among the men. as SOL
disrs' deposits thia year are over $780,
900 more than last year.
Under the new recruiting system S.49s
men were enlisted last year, Of whom
nearly one-half were secured at garri-
soned posts without expense.
Dssertions in the army is decreasing.
Deserters in 1888 numbered 3,57S; in
1893. only 1852. and last year, 1866.
Fifteen regiments Of regulars are on
duty east of the Missouri and the merid-
ian Of Kansas City; 20 are located in the
plains and mountains between the Mis-
souri, and the eastern boundary Of the
Pacific States. and five are on the Pacific
Coast. There are " military posts.
The army consists Of 25,426 officers
and men, or 2S4 below the legal maxi
mum. The relative field strength Octo-
Der 81 was %, 1872.

THE cREaroR Ser AT FAULT.

The Chicago Dispatch had . Thanks
giving editorial with . protest. IL asks
IL the Christian churches ss they exist in
the world to-day reflect the character
and will Of the founder. IL reminds the
church and the State that there are three
million enforced idlers in America now,
and the prospect that the next three
months will add ct least half that many
more TO the army Of the unemployed. IL
insists that more than half . million
American homes are in different degrees
OF want and distress owing to these cir
cumstances, and then concludes that
somebody or something is 10 blame for
these hard times, and says it is not the
Almighty, for He has promised that the
seed time and harvest shall not fail, and
they fail not. The earth yields Of her
fruits and mines and her bresdstuffs, and
all other necessaries for the comfort OF
man in abundance, and yet msn is to q
great extent in poverty and want; the
rich are becoming richer. the poor, poorer.

clusion Of the Dispatch is that it is right
to give thanks to the Creator for bless
ings enjoyed. but it will be an outrage
to human life, liberty and happiness on
the part Of the masses who have been
robbed. oppressed and enslaved by plu.
tocratic laws, to give expression in any
form to these thanks, unaccompanied by
an appeal to the throne Of grace for relief
from an unholy plutocracy, of which the
church is nowadays one Of the hand
