COYOTES AMONG THE CATTte

Western Ranchers wrestling with tho
Problem of determination.
A novel scheme for saving his cattle
from the droves of coyotes that infest
the region has been hit upon by a
rancher of Glen Rock, Wash. He has
placed number of bells on the necks
of great number of cattle in his herds,
and the result has been TO scare the
coyotes away. In the two months since
he belled his herds he has not lost q
single animal, while previously his loss
averaged at least one steer a day. CO.
votes are becoming more of a pest every
season in many parts of Washington
and Oregon, despite all the efforts of the
cattlemen and farmers to exterminate
them. Thousands of dollars are spent
every year in waging war on the beasts
but with little result. Poison availed
for time, but now the coyotes refuse
to touch the poisoned carcasses Of
steers strewn about for their consump-
ton. The only way of killing them is
by shooting them, and this is feeble
and wholly inadequate means. Oc-
casionally the residents of district
combine and have a grand roundup
hunt driving the coyotes toward the
center of circle and slaughtering
them there, and this is the only means
of appreciably thinning them out oc-
casionally. In some regions the packs
of gray wolves are as numerous and
troublesome as the, coyotes. The
coyotes are particularly adept chicken
thieves, and, indeed, are general pest
around the farmyards.

THE POLITICIAN.

Grover Cleveland's "I-know-more-
than-every body-else'' was never more
conspicuously Haunted in the face of
Congress and of public opinion than it
is in the beginning of the last year of
his reign. Self-opinionated Presidents
we have had before, but none of them
ever told Congress and the world be-
fore Congress had formally promulgut-
ed its opinion upon an important mat
ter that they would pay no attention
to that opinion. Mr.. Cleveland did so
last week, when by his direction Sec
retary Olney gave to the press a state
ment defining the attitude of the ad-
miuistration on the Cuban question.
That there was a purpose in making
public this statement before the con-
ferees of the House and Senate had
agreed upon the exact form of the con-
current resolution for the recognition
of Cuban belligerency-the House and
Senate having adopted differently
wordod resolutions, although the sent
iment of both were the same-there is
no doubt, and that it was 10 neutralize
any benefit that the Cubans might
have derived from that resolution is
the belief of most people. This state
raent reduced to plain English is that
Mr.. Cleveland says to Congress and to
public opinion, which in this ms tier it
unquestionably represents, 81 care not
what you think or what you do, will
not recognize the belligerency of the
Cubans, nor will take any other step
towards helping them to gain their in
dependence, or even encourage them
by an expression of sympathy"
Not few people think Congress has
