Beatty Ranch Sale.

The people were somewhat
surprised last week when il was
officially announced that the Beatty
Bros, OF this city had sold their
large ranch on the Clmarron river
in western Kansas, including both
the land and cattle. The ranch is
claimed to be the best and most
conveniently arranged in that sec
ton OF the country and has been
in operation for almost % years by
the above named parties. The
old ranch buildings are situated
near the loot OF high bluff of
sandstone rock which towers a.
bove all other landmarks and
points to the south. This point
can be seen for a distance OF 20
miles either up or down the river
and nature suggested an appropri
a.e name to the discoverer as the
Point OF Rocks by which it is
known and has been recorded in
the pages of history as such. The
old Santa Fe trail passes near the
point and at one time. away back
in the early days, this spot was
made the battle ground between
the white man and the Indian. A
number of other historical points
connected with the ranch make 1t
the most widely known perhaps,
of any in The west. AT present it
includes $4,000 acres of land, du-
on which Craze $4,000 head of
cattle, both oc which were pur-
chased by the Berry Bolce Cattle
company ofKansas City, Mo, who
will take possession some tune IN
May. Estimating the land at So
per acre and the cattle at s25 per
head, would mean in round mum.

Rev. Lyman Abbott, the great
Brooklyn preacher, discusses this
sound, live topic of a new Auerl-
can policy in the May North
American Review, thus:
"We are identified with the CIV
ilized world, interested in it's prob
lens, concerned in its progress, In
iured in it's disasters, helped by its
properties. The time has there
fore passed when the United States
can say, "We are sufficient unto
ourselves, we will go our way; the
rest of the world may 60 its way"
The questen is not, "Shall we avoid
entangling alliances?" We are en-
tangled with all the nations of the
globe; by commerce, by manufac-
lures, by race and religious affilla-
tions, by popular and political sym
pathies. The question for us to
decide is not whether.w we shall live
and work in fellowship with
European nations, but whether We
shall chose our fellowship with
wise judgment and definite purpose
or whether we shall allow ourselves
10 drift Into such fellowships as
political accident or the changing
incidents of human history may
direct. I believe that the time
has come when we ought as a
nation, to recognize the fact that
we are not merely an American
nation, but a world nation; when
we ought to take our place with
clear and definite understanding
that we are doing so among the ma
tions of the world; when we ought
to form clearly to ourselves our ma
tonal purpose, and seek such af-
| filiations as will promote that pur-
| pose. 1t is for this reason | urge
the tablishment of a good under
standing between the United States
and England, in the hope that in
time it will grow to a more formal
alliance-civic, commercial, and in
dustrial, rather than naval or mill
tary-aud yet an alliance that will
make Us, for the purpose OF our in
ternational life, one people, though
not politically one nation"
