BOOM IN CATTLE BUSINESS

The cattle business is on a great
boom and from the reports issued
by the United States department
of agriculture, cattle, particularly
we'll bred cattle, will continue
bringing high prices for years to
come.
The stock of cattle in the United
States decreased 100000 head
in the past year and in the begin
ming of 1898 was already far below
the normal point Hence the de-
mand is greater than the supply
Iowa beef cattle are now bring
ing better prices than in many
years past, while scrubs, though
considerably improved in price,
lag far in the rear, even if in
salable condition.
1t is fact now established in
all stock markets that beef cattle
must show good blood to demand
good prices. Well bred cattle too
poor for beef command high prices
in the class called ''feeders." as
they are bought by stock feeders
for the purpose of building on by
feeding cheap grain and grass. On
the other hand, mongrel and scrub
stocks even when fat will not com
mand either attention or prices to
Justify transportation to long dis
tances.
To illustrate what can be done
in raising cattle, the Breeders Ga
zette gives an account of sale of
carload of blooded beeves grown
in Illinois and shipped to Chicago
in early October. The carload
comprised seventeen head, but a
mixed lot of Herefords, Polled An
gus and Shorthorns.
The lot averaged 1,57S pounds
each and the price paid was $3.50
per 100 pounds on foot, sggregat-
ing the sum of $2,450.5S for one

THE PHILIPPINES SITUATION.

The report of the Philippine
commission makes the country's
relation to the rebellion so plain
that nobody hereafter will have
any excuse for making any mis-
take on the subject, says the st,
Louis Globe Democrat. In the
first place the point is brought
out clearly that Admiral Dewey
made no promises of recognition
to Aguinaldo. mo alliance of
any kind" says the commission,
Twas entered into with Aguinaldo,
nor was any promise of independ-
ence made to him then or at any
time" This was the situation Just
after the destruction of the Span
ish fleet by Dewey in Manila bay,
at the time of Aguinaldo's first APP
pearance on the scene. There was
no rebellion in the islands at the
time the war between the United
States and Spain began A rising
occurred short time before but
it had been put down by Spain:
Aguinaldo was not on the island
at the time, but was in India He
did not arrive in Luzon until after
Dewey's fleet subverted Spanish
authority in the neighborhood Of
Manila, and virtually effaced it all
over the islands.
This is fact of decisive i'm
portance in connection with the
rebellion which Aguinaldo raised
afterwards against the Americans.
The com mission points out that
Aguinaldo forced war upon the
United States instead of the United
States upon Aguinaldo. 1t shows
that at no moment after the des-
truction of the Spanish feet was
it possible for the United States
to withdraw its forces with honor
to the country or with safety to
the islanders. Only six provinces
in Luzon are in rebellion, the rest
of that island and all the other
islands being favorable to Ameri-
can authority. The only thing
which saves the islands from anar-
chy is the presence of the Ameri-
can forces. On two other points
of prime Importance the commits
sion is equally clear and emphatic.
The Filipinos are not capable of
self-government. Aguinaldo does
not want to give them self-govern-
ment. He knows they are not
fitted for it, and he would not give
it to them if they were, his desire
being to maintain his own despotic
power.
The Florence daily tribune., 1899-11-14
ACCORDING to recent press

ACCORDING to recent press dis
patches Aguinaldo is again bottled
up and nothing remains now but
to place the stopper But the
game has reached that stage many
times before.
