years have materially strengthened the
cattle-raising industry if they had been
disposed to foster dealings In what is
known as cattle paper" OF course
there are risks in all business, and
that of cattle raising Is no exception.
One thing is certain, however; that no
property can be realized on more
quickly than live stock. Investment
companies go into the booming of real
estate, for instance and when the time
of pressure for revenue arrives they
are utterly unable to dispose Of a sin
gle building lot and are Immediately
swept into liquidation and bankruptcy.
For live stock there is a continuous
market. All the range grazer and the
ranchman have to do when they are
pressed for funds is to Gull their herds,
send their stock to the market and in
simultaneously receive the cash there
for. There is no business on earth so
completely capable Of being wound up
in great emergency. There are losses
to be anticipated, encountered and en-
dured in connection with disease and
exposure to hard weather But the
average computations of losses in this
connection show vastly in favor Of the
success of the undertaking.
1t is pleasing to note, therefore, that
Eastern capital is disposed to enter
this field. The farm mortgage has play
ed its part in the development of the
West, and it has been found to be a
most unreliable quantity, and much
money has been lost in that connec-
ton. A man may fail to pay his in
terest on his mortgage, for which his
farm is held as security; foreclosure
results; the process Of buying under
foreclosure is gone through with, and
the man who loaned the money, or the
corporation who loaned it, is in either
case possessed of a property that can
not be utilized to any immediate pc
cuniary advantage, and the whole bust
ness results in a loss to the investor
and the borrower, and misery follows
to both. And it is no satisfaction in
this connection to record the fact that
the borrower originally agreed to pay
larger rate of interest than he could
possibly afford to pay or that the lend
er of the money practiced eXtortion and
usury in order to effect his loan.
Now, if the capitalist received the
paper of the growers and grazers of
live stock, an element Of immediate
commercial utility exists in the live
stock itself, which, barring the acct
dents Of disease and storm above re-
ferred to, can be Immediately turned
into money without a large average
probability Of loss to either side in the
transaction.
The fostering by our own local cap
italists of dealings in cattle paper in
the Northwest, at the present juncture,
when so many earnest efforts are be-
ing made to increase herds and f1ocks,
would doubtless result in immense ad-
vantage to this entire section. 1t is
good that journals representing East
ern investors have called attention to
the subject. The live stock industry in
the Northwest tributary to the Twin
Cities is as important in all respects
as the local trade in merchandise and
manufactures in those communities
themselves.

Live Stock Industries

A very sensible article appears IN
the United States Investor in it's Issue
Of Oct. on the subject of Cattle
Paper" 1t has special reference to
dealing in the Western sections of the
United States in securities OF this sort
Within the past twelve months a
great deal has been published in re-
gard to the shrinkage in the live stock
supply Of this country. A score of
years ago the business of growing cat
tie on the ranges was Overdone, Just
as a good many other industries have
been overdone in this new and rapidly
developing section. Large sums Of
money were made by the former cat
tie barons." They were pIungers in
those days and dreamed of greater pos
sibil1ties Of the creation of q worlds
center of supply Of fresh meat in that
section than was justified at the time
they began their work. There have
been some notable failures in connection
with this branch of enterprise, and
the Northwest is gradually showing a.
diminution of the area of it's ranges,
while in the Southwest the cattle men
have experienced a good many draw
backs, from the severity of recent pan
les, which have rendered it difficult for
them to secure the necessary funds
with which to promote the industry.
It has been remarked frequently that
the capitalists Of the Northwest, and
particularly IN the localities of st. Paul
and Minneapolis, might within recent

ignoring the issues.

1t IS apparent that the Republican
organs of the state in general and the
county Of Ramsey in particular intend
to Ignore the actual issues in the pres
ent campaign and try to get through
the canvass by shouting for the G.. o.
P. as an all around good thing and all
institution that must be preserved.
In this county it has been shown
that the public business is being ad-
mbnistered by the Republican office
holders as a part of a system scheme
Of plumber. The G l o demonstrated
the other day that the taxpayers would
have to pay the salaries of seventy
five or more employees of the city and
county, while those men are out work
ing among the voters to the end that
they may continue to hold their places
at the public trough. It was an incon-
teStable statement Of fact. The Re-
publican papers met the charges by an
appeal to the people to remember the
days Of 81. The Clio proved that
the Republican officials controlling the
tax rolls had mulcted the general purp-
lie to the extent Of nearly $4,000 in
order to relieve a single corporation.
The Republican papers made no at
tempt to disprove the charge. They
shouted for everybody to remember the
Maine.
Facts are stubborn things and they
must be combatted by facts. The
Maine was pretty effectually remem-
bered by Dewey, and the other heroes
who take their politics from the Demo-
cratic party and have the good sense
not to take their orders from Repub-
lican boards Of strategy. 1t would not
be a bad idea for the taxpayer to re-
member himself. Ramsey county tax
payers paid $267 to seventy three men
who sat in the Republican plunderbund
on the day Of the county convention.
That is fact. Let US have some light
on it, messieurs of the Republican
press and platform.

tropics and with milk as much beyond
their reach as if there were no COWS
in the northern part of the United
States; that troops of the regular army
were denied fresh rations because, for
sooth, they had not eaten all the ra-
lions issued them in the tropics-these
Incidents, taken at random, should sat
isfy any logical mind"
In the last number of Scribner's we
are told that the problems which pre-
scented themselves to the commanding
general at Santiago were: First, to
disembark 10000 men and supplies from
thirty-four transports; second, to move
men and supplies up toward Santiago;
and, third, to reconnoiter the approach
to the city" We are told that the land
Ing of troops and supplies was a most
magnificent bungle and that not until
Cen Miles arrived were the transport
captains made to obey orders and an
Choir where the troops could be sup
piled from the stores in the holds of
the ships. In another part of the same
magazine this passage is found: But
the worst feature Of it all was the
scarcity of doctors. Hour after hour
b
sun, unattended and often bleeding TO
death. The nearest dressing station
was three-quarters of a mile to the
rear, and while the medical staff there
was undoubtedly busy it was chiefly
with such cases as were slightly
enough wounded to walk down for aid"
And in the Charities Review we find
the following:
The surgeon Of a division hospital at
Montauk, containing about 100 patients found
hlmseit as late Sept. without suitable
medicines and necessary delicacies, but was
AFRAID TO admit his needs, because he had
already been severely criticised for asking
outsiders to furnish things which should
have been obtained by requisition. Whether,
as was alleged by his superior, this surgeon
had failed to send for his medicines; whether,
as he urged in reply, he had but one horse,
Whlle 1t would take three to bring them;
whether, as Gen. Wheeler declared when the
ahalr was aired in his presence, the horse
should have been sent three times may be
quite beyond the powers of civilian to de-
eide. 1t is clear, however, that the soldiers
suffered, and that some less favorable term
than red tape is needed to describe the Of
hcial relations which permit such childish,
ard in it's consequences fatal, laundering.

The sensational Press"

There are not a few people in the
country today who should give devout
thanks to the man that invented the
phrase sensational press" 1t is a de-
vice simple to a degree, and yet Is
guaranteed to still any qualms of con-
science or tremors of indignation arous-
ed by stories Of inefficiency and neg
lect in the war department. It matters
not whether the report is backed by a
paper known the land over for its con-
sentative policy, or whether all the old
ard great dailies from New York to
San Francisco tell the same story, the
sum total Of answering logic is "sen-

and conf1ne the query to the standard
magazines that have reputation to
lose If they make a false attack. For
what appears in these magazines the
editors stand sponsors, and they are
not seeking notoriety. In the October
American Review Of Reviews we read
this:
1.-THE object lesson which has been
given the country in the vain endeav-
or to get Camp Wikoff ready to re-
ceive the soldiers is proof positive of

'"The good old times are gone and there Is
no longer any Of fellow taking interest
in politics." remarked the ward worker az he
rubbed himself against a corner in the city
hall corridor He had been standing there
for two hours trying to get into the office
OF a candidate, and his lack Of success was
weighing on his spirits. sympathizer told
him that these were indeed sad days for men
who were trying to put the country right by
dabbling little in politics. Presently they
got to telling each other instances of their
prowess in carrying elections in the past and
the ward worker capped it all by telling how
a county seat election was settled In Montana:
1T was when the Great Northern was be-
ing built West-the main line. l had a gang
working for me on the dump and I got a
contract that held me at the town where
this came off long enough to get acquainted.
They had a county seat fight on and when
election day approached the citizens of the
town near where my gang was working came
and asked me what I could do for them.
They thought they would be cleaned out bv
about 500, and told them thought / could
fix that I had friend who had big gang
Of men at work ironing a spur track and l
went to him to help me out. There wasn't
much money in 1t and he refused to take his
gang off long enough to let them vote He
AAAA~N ~
It was seven miles from where his gang was
working, on the spur, to the town that need
ed the votes.s Buildings were not plenty in
the place and thereI wasn't one that was va
cant, so the people asked the use of a caboose
to be used as = voting booth. They were told
to go ahead. At o'clock on the afternoon
of election day word came from the opposi-
ton town that they had us beaten to death
and the citizens told me that must do some
thing. I sent out to my friend and offered
him $500 to bring his men In long enough to
vote. He sent word that he couldn't do 1t.
Then I had an Inspiration If the vote
couldn't come to the polls why the polls
must be taken to the vote I got the road
master and induced him to- hitch an engine
to the caboose that was used for voting
booth. In twenty minutes we were at the
end of the track with enough booze to pro-
vide at least drink apiece for our voters
BY shutdown we were back in town with GLE
votes that were right and the polls were
closed according TO law. I heard that seven
men dropped dead of heart disease In the op-

The best feature Of the canvass is the
demonstration that the war cannot be worked
for political advantage and that the Nc
Kinley administration will be no better off
in November than 1t would have been If there
had been no war-indeed, will be worse off
because of Algerism and the attempt to white
wash it. The fact is admitted by all candid
Republicans everywhere.

frankly says, in the Keokuk Gate City, which
he edits, that 1.-The war with Spain will not
give SO much strength to the Republicans

adds that this Is well enough, and 1t is
probably better for the country and the Re-

ual generalities and pyrotechnics of patriotism
and go straight to the common-sense bust
ness Of the situation"
