THE METHODS OF THE LOBBYIST

G. G. Eaton, in his paper, The
Columbus Democrat, thus tells how
that for ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain the lobbyist Is peculiar:
'"The significance OF the introduction
at each session OF the legislature OF
several hundred scellaneous and
uncalled for bills Is gradually dawn
ing upon the minds OF the people.
Many OF these measures, which are
for the most part mere dummies, are
introduced ostensibly in the interest
OF reform, and purport to strike at the
root Of "grasping" monopolies ana
"greedy" corporations. But n care
ful analysis OF the majority OF them
will disclose Inconsistencies and even
absurdities which no one ever hopes
or expects to see enacted into laws.
Follow some of these measures from
their inception in the brain OF the
schemer and their introduction "by
request" by an "interestcd' legislat-
or until their death in committees, up
on the floor of either house, or by
the veto pen of the chief executive, II
percbance they successfully run the
legislative gauntlet, and you walk
along trail strcwn with almighty
dollars
Now these bills are never framed
with the idea that they eventually may
be placed AZ laws upon the statute
books. They are, M it were, con
ceived In iniquity and born OF corrup-
tion, and are designed wholly with u
view to "sand bagging" corporations,
and as n means or threat to extort
tribute money from them, the origin
ators never for u moment seriously
contemplating any interference with
the said corporations interest on be-
half OF the "dear people"
And II this IL the true situation
with respect to these several meas
ures, may it not likewise be true that
n similar status prevails In the case
OF other proposed laws? We are
amused at the proposal to save WON
an from her folly by prohibiting
slight lacing." We cannot view the
provisions OF this bill with any
thought of seriousness, yet who shall
say that there may not be degree OF
seriousness back Of II in the form OF II
deliberate attempt to "squecze' the
corset trusty
If such IA condition exists M IL indi-
Gated by the foregoing, we can easily
account for the defeat OF many worthy
bills as we'll M the enactment OF
many unworthy ones. The lobbyist
and the trnctable legislator are re-
sponsible for this, and unless both are
sharply looked after there Is little
more II any In the way of good to he
hoped for from future legislatures
than M has been realized from past
ones"

What to Do Until the Doctor Arrives.

1t is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear ones suffer while await
ing the arrival of the doctor. An
Albany N. y. dairyman called at a
drug store there for a doctor to come
and see his child, then very sick with
Group. Not finding the doctor in, he
left word for him to come at once on
his return. He also bought a bottle of
Chamberlain Cough Remedy, which
he hoped would give some relief until
the doctor should arrive. In few
hours he returned, saying the doctor
need not come, as the child was much
better. The druggist, Mr.. Otto Scholz,
says the family has since recommended
Chamberlain Cough Remedy to their
ueighbors and friends until he has a
constant demand for it from that part
of the country, For sale by Vivian 5

Movement of Range Cattle.

Tho movement of southern cattle from the south to the northern ranges through this state has started in earn est, says the Denver Rocky Mountain News. Yesterday there were over 4000 cnttlo on this market, some tor sale, but the greater part destined to the northern ranges in Montana, Wy"' ming md the Dakotas They come from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, snd all tue railroads from tuose sec tions are almost blocked with trains loaded with cattle, and every stock car in the west Is in service. The south ern cattle movement this year prom ises to be nearly double that of last year, and this notwithstanding the de- cline in the prices of cattle, though the northern buyers claim that the ill creased movement Is due to the lower prices Over 200,0o0 of these cattle will move north through Colorado dur ing the next few weeks. They are mostly yearlipgs and ? year old steers and will be run on the ranges of the north for the next two years, finally reaching the big markets of the east us fat grass cattle.
 While the prices of these cattle are lower than last year, northern buyers clam that they are still too high, and the offerings on this market are waiting in vain for purchasers.
 John Clay, Jr., of Chicago, probably the largest handler of range cattle in the country, is in the city for few days watching the movement of his purchases from the south 10 the north, as most of the cattle come this way. Mir Clay has purchased for his clients something over 30.U00 head of Texas and Arizous cattle of the kind known as stock cattle. While MT. Clay has acquired something of reputation as bear op the market and still believes that the common kinds of cattle are going lower, hs regards the general outlook for the cattle industry as ex- coedIugly bright
