POLICY or
Wrong In Theory and Practice and
Contrary to Our Mission.

Wrong In Theory and Practice and
Contrary to Our Mission.
From the tenor Of the tumultuous
expression Of disapproval of the policy
Of expansion expressed at the mass
meeting of anti-imperialists at the Cen
trail Music hall, Chicago, the other aft.
ernoon it is very apparent. indeed, that
President Mckinley has not sized up
the way in which ''the currents Of des-
tiny are flowing through the hearts of
the people" as closely as he imagines
he has. The Argus, however, while op-
posed to the causes that led to the wal
in the Philippines and deprecating the
circumstance that brought us into any
conflict with the Filipinos, yet be-
lieves at all times in standing by the
government where it is opposed By hos
tile elements within or without, and,
strong as we are in tho conviction that
the policy Of territorial expansion be-
yond the seas is wrong in theory and
wrong In practice, and contrary to our
national mission, yet the withdrawal
from any position that the nation had
assumed under fire could not for an in
slant be thought of.
The principle nevertheless remains,
and, after the United States has con
quered opposition and accomplished the
right by force to assert itself, the &C.
acknowledgement by a nation founded on
the conviction that all just powers are
derived from the consent of the govern
ed of the duty it owes to the Filipinos,
to the world and to itself will come
with all the more Of the virtue Of right
eousness. -Rock Island Argus.

fever tick is confined to Texas cattle
1t does little injury, but if it comes
III contact with northern cattle it
causes the fatal fever. 1t was found
that the loss Of cattle resulting from
dipping was insignificant if proper
precautions are taken to prevent
the vitality of the animals from be-
ing reduced through extreme heat
or exposure. The surviving dipped
southern cattle may then be shipped
north and pastured for an indefinite
length of time with susceptible
northern cattle without communi-
eating Texas fever to them.-Chica-

Ready Reliance ON the Military,

No sooner was a strike threatened in
Buffalo recently than General Peter G.
Doyle Of the Fourth brigade Of the state
militia, ordered a guard mount at the
armory in preparation for being called
out to suppress the disturbances which
might result. AS Doyle has no authority
to call out the militia for such purposes,
his hasty action reflects the existence Of
a pretty decided disposition to lean upon
the soldiery in labor troubles. He is
general freight and passenger agent for
the Lehigh Valley railroad, which was
an interested corporation in the strike.

THE BIG CATTLE SYNDICATE,
George B. Loving Explains the
Plans Of the Organization.

Fort Worth, Tex, July 7.-George
&. Loving, who originated the idea
of the formation of the biggest sin
gle cattle syndicate ever undertaken
in this country, was seer and asked
to briefly outline the policy to be
pursued. Mr.. Loving said that
since the first publication of the
scheme he had been flooded with APP
plications from cattlemen who
wanted to dispose Of their herds.
Some of these were companies now
operating in Colorado, Missouri.
Kansas, New Mexico and even in far
away Cuba, but it is not the inten-
ton to locate the business of the
proposed big syndicate in any other
state except Texas. 70 questions
propounded Mr.. Loving said:
cit was never the intention of the
promoters of this company to invest
at the outside more than $40, 600, 900
in both cattle and land, the intcn-
ton being to limit the operations OF
the company to that part of New
Mexico east of the Pccos river and
the unorganized counties along the
western border of Texas. In this
locality we have taken options on
about $23, 00Q, 600 worth of ranch
properties. covering about GOO, 900
cattle and nearly 1000, 600 acres of
patented land, and about 5000, 900
acres, part Of which is in Texas and
controlled by lease, and part in New
Mexico and held by range rights.
