Cattle on Alfalfa.

At the Nebraska experiment station cattle not accustomed to alfalfa pasture have common, straight bar bridle bit put in their mouths before turning into the field. They are compelled to wear this bit for several days, or until they become accustomed to the green al- falfa. This treatment Is believed to be efficient in proven tlng bloat. as no cases have occurred since the method was adopted. The theory of prevention IS that in eating with the bit in the mouth an animal IS compelled to eat slowly, so that an abundance of saIiye to coun- teract acids which might be generated in the stomach, is swallowed along with the food. When the animal system becomes accustomed 10 the alfalfa there is little danger of bloating and the bit may be removed with safety.

Letter From Barnes
GHerald.I

A letter from Hon. Will c. Barnes dated at Holbrook says that the range in that locality is in fine condition. The general stock situation. however. is somewhat strained owing to the in- ability of eastern busers to fulfill thelr contracts. This does not occur by req son of no market for the stock but on acco1nt of the scarcity of money to hanile investments. It has been the custom of eastern buyers to come to Arizona and invest their all as first payment on a big contract expecting tie promised backing of banking lnsti- tutions that have been in the habit of accommodating them taking cattle for security. This year they entered into their contracts as usual and made their first payments. By the time they ap- piled for money the war broke out and the banking institutions foreseeing the effect of the expected popular loan re- fused their customary tavors, on the theory that every patriot who had a hundred dollars on deposit would rush of to buy a government bond. This would naturally cause stringencv in the banks who do not propose to be caught wish empty tiI!s. Many buy CTS who have paid their first money have simply allowed their contracts to go by default. Th= principal hardship that thIs works or he stockmen of the terr. tory is that many in the expec- tation of contract safes nave bought cheaper cattle than their own that must now be paid for while others have con- tracted pasture, etc. Therefore the lot of the cattlemen is not an entirely hap. py one even if the price of stock is hiCh

The Bondholders Conspiracy

[Silver Knight-watChman.l
 The holders of S1, 700 900, 900 of Span ish bonds are deadly enemies of the United States. They have embarrassed the administration in every way, entered into it's secret councils, and played every card in thelr power to save the provinces of Spain as security for Span ish bonds. One of their toole. a m an by the name of Francis T. Morton, is publishing letters in the Washington Post; asserting that It is unpatriotIe for the American people to prosecute the war by the usual financial arrange ments made by all civilized countries for such 8 purpose. MT. Morton him self is not Of the slight test consequence, but his letters fairly represent the scheme cf the Snauiet no0dH elders He contends that everybody who is opposed to the issuance of $500. .000 of bonds to buy gold with which to prosecute the war IS a friend of Spain and an enemy Of the Unitsd States, and in this he voices the sentiments of every unpatriotie Tory goldite in the land. The Spanish bondholders know that if the United States must contend with all the world for gold at any sacrifice to obtain money to prosecute the war, our resources. great as they are. will soon be exhausted. It is the first time in the history of the world that it has been suggested that a nation in war must buy gold to fight it's battles. Gold is a coward, it always deserts in time of war. If our institutions are 10 be preserved they must be preserved by the exercise of the sovereign power of the United States to coin and issue money. Without the exercise of this power the revolut- ion would have been impossible. With out the exercise of this power the war of 1872 could not have been fought. Without the exercise Of this power success in the Mexican war would have been doubtful. And without the exer. else of this power the unIon would have been destroyed.
 lIn view of all these facts it IS dislov- alty to the government of the United States to even suggest that VIC must

 A caucus of the democrats of fhe house may be held this week for the purpose of discussing the joint resolu- ton providing for the annexation of Hawaii, which has been favorably re- ported to the house, and deciding upon the advisability of making it a party question. There are number of dem- ocrats in the house who are opposed to annexation. It is the same in the sen- ate, but the democrats of the latter body long ago decided not to make an nexation party question, and the chances are that the same course will be followed in the house. To attempt to do otherwise would be to compel those democrats who favor annexation to bolt the action of the party caucus. 1t is, of course. in the power of a majority of the democrats in the house to make opposi ii on to annexation party question, but it is not in their power to control demo- crats who have committed themselves to annexation. There was no sign that the democratic party as a whole en- dorsed President Cleveland's an'i-an= nexation policy on the contrary, there were many signs of opposition thereto If there ever was time that opposition to the annexation of Hawaii could wise ly have been made party policy, it has long ago passed.

 A fight is being made by the tobacco men against the proposed increase in the internal revenue tax on tobacco from to Is cents pound. They say that the increase to 12 cents, provided for in the house bill, would have put upon tobacco more than it's full share of war taxes, and that it would be unjust to push it up to Is, as provided for in the bill reported to the senate.

 From Our Regular Correspondent
 WASHINGTON, May 16, 1898. ! Swain fooled us good in that game oI 1 hide and seek it played with it's Cape .-rLe 1oo., a-d :. .s greatly feared Una, the fleet now has it in it's power to choose whether it will fight Admiral Sampson's fleet, which battered the forts in the harbor of San Juan, Porto Rico, few days ago, or Commodore Schlev's flying squadron, which is now for the first time acting mp to it's name, enter Cuban harbor without fighting, or make a dash for some of our coast cities This state of affairs would be exasperating were it not for the atisfac- ton every one fe els in knowing that this Spanish fleet is actually in American waters. It may dodge us for awhile, but it is bound to be our game in the end. The end will be at once if the Spanish fleet dares to fight either of our fleets. One mans guess is about as good as another's about the intention of the Spanish fleet, but few days will show them.
 The pos ponement of the sending of troops to Cuba made necessary by the presence of the Spanish fleet in Ameri- can waters is less aggravating than it appears to be In fact. it is good thing for us. Had the original plan of landing troops in Cuba last week been carried out. we shonld not have been able to land a sufficient number to capture Ha- vana, which is defended by something like 80 1000 Spanish soldiers, owing to the inability of the government to fur nish equipments needed by the volun- teers; and any delay in whipping the Spaniards out of Cuba after our army goes over there will he calculated to lessen our prestige among the nations of the world. Dewey's men at Manila and .ne suceoasIon UI Ur.se ...l ual.ug deeds performed by the men on the  sIlips engaged in blockading Cuban ports have placed our navy among the foremost fighters of the world, and 1t would be very humiliating for our army not to make an equally creditable show ing when it goes to Cuba. It is there fore absolutely necessary that sutfi cient number of men properly equipped to do what they go to do should be sent to Cuba. The delay will serve to place the army or proper footing. Just to give an idea of the deficiency in army equipments, it may be mentioned that the government has purchased the en- tire visible supply of tenting canvass in the country, and yet has only enough to make about one half the tents the army will require; the mill are working on | the rest.
 The war revenue bill reported to the senate from it's Finance committee IS Tn many respects marked improvement upon what it was when it was sent oyer from the house. It now provides for the immediate issue of $150,000, 900 in greenbacks, and for issuing $42 1000, ,00C in silver certificates to represent the
