Kansas Live Stock Industry

Kansas Live Stock Industry.
The Kansas City Star editorially
booms the Abilene Cattlemen's con-
vention thus:
Gentlemen are in just the proper
humor these days to enjoy getting
together to discuss conditions and
prospects and tell one another Of their
successes and failures. There are
few Of the latter to talk about now.
Prices Of cattle at the present time
Justify all the hopes which feeders
and breeders have held for the past
six months, and there is no class Of
men in the country who have greater
faith than the cattlemen in the main
tenance Of the prosperity which the
country is at present enjoying. Every
meeting Of cattlemen adds to this feel
ing of confidence.
"Another cattlemen's convention is
to be held at Abilene, Kas., next week
and an interesting program has been
prepared for the entertainment and
the profit Of those who attend. There
cannot be too many Of these conven-
tons. Every one Of them helps to
make cattle producers and feeders
more progressive in their methods
and tends to broaden their views Of
their business. There is not only
great revival Of activity and interest
in the cattle industry at the present
time, but there is widespread move
ment in the direction of improving
the quality of stock. The discussions
which occur at these conventions, re-
lating to methods of feeding and
breeding, and marketing cattle are of
immense benefit to the industry.
1.-The ambition of most cattlemen
in this day is to have fine stock. They
are anxious to get top prices, quite as
much on account Of the glory Of the
achievement as because of the better
financial returns. Few cattlemen are
content, now, to get any kind of cat
tie, and turn them into an unprotect-
ed feed lot and give them corn and
fodder in careless Eway. There are
essential points in the preparation of
stock for market, just as there are in
nearly every other industry, and
there is as much difference in the
methods Of cattle feeding as in the
manufacture Of clothing or Of machin-
cry. The cattle feeder has learned
that foresight and care and sound
judgment are just as necessary for
success in his business as in the man.
agemept Of great mercantile estab-
lishment, or the operation Of manu-
featuring plant, and the man who
has the soundest business instincts
makes the biggest profit in cattle
feeding as in any other line of indus
try.
"There never was a time when
stock men were so anxious for genu-
inc progress as they are at present,
and the result cannot fail to be a
great improvement, both in the quail
ity Of meat furnished to the world and
in the profits Of the business"

In the Fifth district are ten coun.
ties. Each county has from six to
fifteen postotiiCes which are OF enough
Importance to have more than one ap-
plicant for the position Of postmas-
ter. There are at least one hundred
offices to be filled for each Of which
there have been from two to six prom.
inent candidates. Mr.. Calderhead
was compelled to make choice in
each Of these instances and one to five
applicants were disappointed. He
mas without doubt made the selections
conscientiously and for what he con.
sidered the best interests OF the party
and the respective communities. 1t
is unfair and unmanly for the Repub-
lican papers whose editors were un.
successful applicants for the position
or whose close friends were turned
down, to whine and howl as II terri
bio thing had happened which would
overturn the universe. These same
papers were loudest in praise Of Mr..
Calderhead when he was in congress;
they could not say enough about his
ability. Since then he has been out
of public life. There has been no
reason for them to change their views
except that in his recommendations
he has failed to please them. In
other words they condemn him not
as Republican, not congressman
or politician, not as a candidate for
the honors Of the party-but as a
postotlice dispenser.
This is apetty and unworthy ground.
The men who were applicants for the
postofllces in this district were Repub-
licans, men Of standing, Of service for
the party, Of uprightness. They
were not Republicans for the purpose
of holding Office and now that they
are not chosen they are yet Republic
cans-that is the sort of stuff Of which
the Republicans Of the Fifth district
are made. The papers that intimate
to the contrary are mistaken. More
than that, they are doing the party a
wrong by their i'll considered attacks
and their rantings over the proposed
nomination Of Mr.. Calderhead. There
is not candidate against him who
can carry his own county, nota coun-
ty will vote against him in the con.
vention, yet the few Republican pa
pers that have the postoflice dyspep-
STA are grinding out grist Of false
thunder that is alleged to emanate
from an opposition" to Mr.. Calder
head on the grounds stated.
ANY man whose Republicanism is
Of such weak material that 1t is nee.
essary to give him an office in order
to retain his support for the party
would better leave the ranks at once.
That is not the kind Of Republican
the party needs.
The way to be a Republican is to
keep at it S65 days in the year. Not
all can hold the offices and 1t is base
to make a campaign on no higher
ground than revenge. The man who
goes through the world with the idea
that 'he can rise by pulling Others
down will find it is his own success
that he is defeating. The world does
not endorse such motives.
In six weeks the delegates will be
chosen and the convention will nomi.

r~-spondence OF The Progressive Farmer.
On d & Il Of september, 1898, the
home OF Mr.. James L Harley, of
roion county, was sRddened by the
hidden death of his dear son, Luther,
vbo a~ccldently fell into his fathers
cell and was instantly killed.
The deceased was born December
h 1878, being 10 years of age. The
Dsrents and family have many friends
md relative to mourn their loss. We
rust their loss is Luther's gain. AL
though the deceased was not a mem
berof any churc1 L, we have hope that
bsis at rest with Jesus. This young
nsns life was one of peace and qui
etude. Home was the charm of his
life. There was nothing that he de
lighted more in than to keep the home
pleasant and attractive. May the

during the day and to get up during
the night, uric acid, sleeples mess,

healthy complexion, puffy or dark

and ambition.
Ifyour water when allowed TO remain

Taylor of Indiana, a member Of the
monetary commission, was again be-
fore the house banking and currency
committee at todaYs session. He re-
ferred to the inadequacy OF the bank
ing facilities in the south and west and
suggested that for the present this
country must look mainly to independ-
ent. small, local banks for the relief
which is needed, though he conceded
that an extensive system Of branch
banks might have a more effective
tendency TO equaIize rates OF interest
Mr. John 3. Freis. the North Caro-
lima member Of the commission sketch
ed briefly the prevailing conditions in
the south and particularly in his own
state He declared that the people Of
North Carolina were clamoring for
money. He did not think that this
meant cheaper money but better faIeli-
ties for the transaction OF business
This he said could only be secured by
the establishment Of banking system
as would give these facilities. Mr.. Frels
statement lasted throughout the day.
The committee then adjourned over IN
I'll Monday. when Secretary Gage and

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE senate
committee on privileges and elections
today decided to make an adverse re-
port on Hon. H. w. Corbett's claim to
a seat in the senate from Oregon. The
vote was to 3, and was cast on parti-
san lines, except that Senator Burrows
Republican,, who was absent, was
counted, upon his authority, in opposi-
ton to Mr.. Corbett-
There were two votes, the first being
upon a motion to declare Mr.. Corbett
entitled to his seat, which was support
ed by Messrs. Chandler, Hoar and
Pritchard. Republicans, and opposed
by Messrs. Caffery and Pettus, Demo-
Gratis; Allen, Populist, and Burrows
Republican. Mr.. Spooner, Republican,
was paired with Mr.. Turley, Democrat,
the former for and the latter against
the motion.
\ motion was then made to declare
that Mr.. Corbett was not entitled to his
seat, and this was carried by the above
vote reversed.
The voting was preceded by a quite
general discussion based upon a report

of the opposition. This report took the
position that the question involved is
practically the same as that involved

dent Senator Pettus made an argu-
ment in avor Of establishing a principle
