UNACCEPTABLE ECONOMY.

Congressman Loud. of California, is actively pushing his pet measure-the
 bill to alter the present laws relating to second class mall matter. This bill failed of passage at the last session of Congress, and it is to be hoped that it will again meet like fate. The bill places host of restrictions upon pub fishers and practically leaves them at the mercy of the postmaster general s whim. Under it's provisions the cheap paper editions of Dickens, Scott and other standard authors must advance in prices, as the publishers of such works will be debarred from sending them through the mails at the present rate of postage, one cent per pound. Instead, they will be mailed at eight cents per pound, which, as these books frequently whigh as much as a pound, will advance prices to the public to that extent. If MT. Loud should devote his enegies to reducing the exhorbitant rates now paid to the railroads by the Government for the transportation of mails, he would speedily transform the annual deficiency in the postal depart ment to 8 surplis.

It seems that the recent occurrence in the cattle stealing business. near Grants. New Mexico, is not the extent of the operations of the gang. It might be we'll, if this business cannot be stopped in any other way, for the citi- zens of this county whe are Tn the stock business, and conducting it in legiti- mate manner, to rise in their might and deal out summary justice to some of these stock thieves. and so discourage the industry. The principal objection to such course, however, is that those who are the brains of the enterprise keep off the range, and direct the move- ments of the rustIers from safe dis tance. We hope soon to chronicle the fact the head -centers of these thieving forays have been detected and in fair way to receive the punishment they so richly deserve.

Profits of the Wool Trade.
IStOck Grove

lStock Grower
 Eighteen hundred and ninety seven
 will long be remembered ill the wool
 trade as year which more than made
 good the losses of three previous years
 From about the beginning of 1894 to the close of ISoS was 2 period of greatly
 diminished prosperity and loss. Not
 only WAS the price of wool reduced to
 figures which aGllit of little, if any,
 profit, but the hard times greatly in- creased the burden of bad debts. Noth- ing vas more common in 1896 than the discouraged tone which met one on every side in the wool market. Almost every one was free to admit that "there was no money in the business" and to figure up the losses to the trade for the year was an interesting diversion in wool circles in lieu of more profitable employment.
 The close of 1897 finds the wool mar ket replete with rumors regarding the enormous profits which every one in the trade has made the past year. Sev- eral houses are reported to have made $500, 900 apiece, and the profits of every other dealer are reputed to be in about the same proportion. Of course the chances are that these figures are purely hypothetical, but they are interesting as showing that the wool trade has ex- perienced 8 phenomenally profitable year. It IS perfectally safe to say that every one has made several ordinary year's profits within the last twelve months. The younger men have been especially energetic, and some of the "boys" among the brokers could live handsomely for three years on what they have made recently.
 While it is idle to predict the future, it may, nevertheless, be said that there is general feeling on the part of the trade that 1898 will prove proftabl e year. The trade recognizes that it has got to get down to small profits event ually, but the coming year, it is hoped, will brIng large returns, though pos slbly not equalIing those of 1897. The most. however, that can be said is. that no one looks for speedy return of such times as were experienced between 1894 and 1907.

A Public Building.

4 washington dispatch of the 18th inst, says: Delegate Smith will go be- fore the committee on territories to- morrow in the interests of Arizona. He will urge the reporting of measure appropiating $3O, 900 for a public build ing in Northern Arizona, the building to be used for land offices, postoffice and United States court, the government to be given the site for the building, and the money to bo expended under the authority of commission of Arizona citizens appointed by the president.

No StatehnOd.

A dispatch from Washington, dated the 20th inst. says: "Statehood legis- lation at this session was killed to-day by the house committee on territories rejecting the Arizona, New Mexico and Oklahoma bills by vote of eight to three. The first two measures were punched and defeated. Then the Okla homa bill was taken up and beaten by the same vote. There was no discussion, as 1t was understood at the last meeting that vote was to be taken to-day With out further preliminaries. Delegates Smith and Ferguson, of Arizona and New Mexico, stated that they wished to put themselves on record that If allowed to vote they would vote for the bills."

4 Legislator Rises to Express
 His Surprise.

4 Legislator Rises to Express His Surprise. Four or i've Washington cores pond ents were telling stories oftheir expert ences with statesmen, local and na- tional, says the Washington Star, when one of them from'a State in the South west swung into line with something a little out of the ordinary.
 "I was doing the Legislature, he be- gan, "for a syndicate of newspapers. with some free lance work on the side, and was making potful of money out of it. During the course of my minis- trations discovered case fvote sell ing by rural represen tative that was astonishing for it's smallness. I couldn't find out what the member got, but it couldn't have been much, for the whole matter at issue wasn't worth more than $4 4.50 or whereabouts. After exhausting all my sources of information thought 1 would try the member himself and see how guileless he was on little thing like that. I didn't dare ask him his price, but dld dare to talk about 1t, and I went at him directly.
 "'Say, young feller,' he said after I had talked while, 'hOw much do you git fer news item like that?'
 "It's pretty big thing for me, Ire piled persuasively, 'and I'll get s25 for the story If can get it complete
 "'How much?' he asked with an eager air.
 Twenty-Five dollars I repeated.
 Gee whizz, I'd like to have your job
 "'Why? It isn' an easy one. Not so easy as yours anyway
 " 'P'r'aps it ain't,' he said slowly, but it pays better"
 "'How do you mean?'
 Why, you get S25 fer just telling about what done ter S5.'
 ''The syntax mightn t have been per- feet, perhaps" concluded the speaker, ''but the fact was, and that was whasI wantsd."

 It will be lamentable if Mir. Mckinley allows the scheming republican politi- clans to dictate the successor to Hon. Ben Butterworth, late commissioner of patents, whose funeral last week drew together so many sorrowful public men regardless of politics. Mr. Butterworth did the country a great and valuable service in reforming the abuses Tn the practice before the patent office, and he was ably assisted in that work by Hon. A. P. Greeley, acting commissioner of patents. MT. Mckinley could not show his sympathy with the reform work done by Mir Butterworth in a more practical way, tlsu by making Ns- Greeley commissioner of patents.
 The election of Senator White, of Cal ifornia, to be chairman of the Demo cratic Congressional Campaign commit fee, and the adoption of a strong resolu- ton endorsing the Chicago platform, ended the career of numerous very fool ish fairy tales.

A crank by the name of Elwood Mead,
 who occupies the position state engl- neer of Wyoming, made speech at the late National Stockgrowers' convention at Denver. MT. Mead's subject was: "How Best to Prevent Clashing Be- tween Sheep and Cattle Men on the Ranges; ;" and he had all effective rem edy to offer. He favored the leasing of all public land, and breaking up the ranges, as a means of preventing the constant warfare between cattle and sheep men. This may look far and all right to some, but if the open range is to be leased in large tracts. ~ ~AaswIii be the effect on the small cattle man !? The large cattle corpora tions would the ranges, and he, like the sheep man, would be thing mentioned in ancient history. This fight between the cattle and sheep men is as old as the story of Jacob and Lot, and we very much fear that these differences will exist as long as grass grows green and stock want to eat it.

THE PRAIRIE.
1John Hay.1

John Hay,l The skies are blue above my head,
 The prairie green below, And f1ickering OCT the tufted grass The shifting shadows go. Vague sailing, where the feathery cloud Fleek white the tranquil skies, Black javelins darting where aloft The whirling pheasant flies. A glimmering plain in drowsy trance The dim horizon bounds, Where all the air is resonant
 With sleepy summer sounds The life that sings among the flowers, The lisping of the breeze, The hot cicala's sultry cry,
 The murmurous drone of bees. The butterfly, flying flower,
 Wheels swift in flashing rings, And f1utters round his quiet kin, With brave, flame mottled wings. The wild nirks hurst in crimson fl TO The phioX g brgh- clusters shine, And prairie cups are swinging free To spill their aIry Wins. And layishly beneath the sun, Ip liberal splendor rolled, The fennel fills the dipping plain With floods of fiowery gold; And widely weaves the ron weed Awoof of purple dyes, Where autumn's royal feet may tread When bankrupt summer dies In verdurous tumult far away The prairie pillows gleam: Upon the crests in blessing rests The noontide's gracious beam, Low quivering vapors steaming dim The level splendors break. Where languid lilies deck the rim Of some land circled lake Far in the east like low hung clouds The waving woodlands lie; Far in the west the glowing plain Melts warmly in the sky. No accent wounds the reverent air, NO footprint dints the sod; Lone in the light the prairie lies, Wrapt In a dream of God.
