The cattle situation on the western
coast is of great interest just now,
says the Dcnver Stockman, and the
strong demand there is putting up
cnlly impossible to bring IL stock
cattle over the mountains this season.
The drought in California last year
drove, out thousands Of cattle that
had to be taken elsewhere, Slaughter
ed or starved to death. Now that the
druuGh: Is ended California is practi.
cally without cattle for local con.
sumption, to say nothing OF the ill.,
creased demand for beef caused by
the military operations in the Pacific.
While this country is not supplying
any quantity OF fresh beef for the
army i'll the Philippines, it is supply
ing the transports that are plying
between San Francisco and Manila.
But ii was not the drought alone
that is responsible for the scarcity of
cattle on the coast. The strong de-
mnnd III the corn States for several
years sent the spectators farther
and farther west in search Of cattle,
and for three years past Oregon,
Washington, and Nevada have been
sending thousands OF stock cattle to
this and other markets on this side
of the range. The drought but COM
pleted the work, and this year the re-
tiex movement has set in. Already
several trains Of beef cattle have
been sent west, and the competition
for the young cattle in Oregon and
Nevada has become so intense that
The prices being paid nre fully as
high rs those being pail on this side
OF tho divide. Even though all the
cattle now there are retained it will
he several years before cattle are as
plentiful and rs cheap on the coast as
they were gel one year co.. THIS
mcnn that the Denver market will
draw but few cattle from beyond
Utah this season. There will be
some from Utah, Il few FROM Idaho,
but the largest supply for the fail
trade Will have to come from Wyom
ing. New Mexico and Colorado.

Congressman Bland was born in
Hartford, Kentucky, August 10, 1895.
at an early age he removed to Mis-
sour. In the early sixties he camo
to Nevada and settled i'll Virginia
city. Here he practiccd law for sew

souri,. In 1872 he was elected to
Congress and has been reelected
every term since. except the term
beginning March 4, 1885, having been
defeated in 1891. In 1896 he WIS
again elected.
His work in Congress will be chief
ly remembered for the firm and un-
iliuching stand he took i'll favor OF
the reconciliation OF silver. He be.
licvcd tho best interests of tho couu.

In his death the advocates OF BIZ

cester Theatre box Office, in which Min

prices will prevail.
On Saturday, matinee and evening,
comes Mile. Fih,'' the farce which ran
nearly the entire season at the Man
haitian Theatre New York, to enormous
business. The play is said to be hilari-
ously funny, and also a trif1e spicy, but
not enough so either to shock the right
eous or excite the wicked. In the cast
are Grace George, the pretty blonde in
genue who used to play in "The Girl I
Left Behind Me- and whom, Manager
w. A. Brady married last year; Marie
Wainwright, a we'll known star in
Shaksperian and society drama; Ed

WHAT THE EDITORS SAY.

Mr.. Reed evidently believes that brew
ity is the soul of good resignation
Cleveland Plain Dealer.
1t would be a foolish and fatal mis-
take for the democratic party to lean
next year upon silver as it did in 1896.
With good prices for products and a
worlds yield of $3.50, 000, 900 per annum
OF gold, it would be suicide for a party
to repeat the effort of 1S96-Salt Lake
Tribune (strongly pro-silver).
1t is easy for a man who Is so care
less OF his facts as is Mr., Bryan to say
OF the silver song that the more g. man
sings 1t the more the people like it,
No demonstration to the contrary can
have any effect with such man. But
sober minded, thinking democrats
should test Mr.. Bryan's statement by
the figures. If they do that they will. if
they are honest with themselves, find
that the silver song is about the most
unpopular piece of music now being
played.-Indianapolis News.

THE DREYFUS TALK.


(From the New York Times)
Paradoxical as it may seem, little has
been said since the sitting of Monday,
Aug. Z, that has had any bearing upon
the real question before the court. The
truth is, that since the close of the first
sitting the proceedings at Rennes have
gone hopelessly afar from the issue up
on which legal verdict can be rem
dered.
tits high time that Col. Jouaust and
his colleagues, If they did not make up
their minds on Aug. Z for an acquittal,
should read again the decision of the
cour de cessation to which the court
martial owes its being.
The supreme court of appeal OF
France set before the judges in Rennes
a specific issue: Did Dreyfus commu-
nicate to a foreign agent or govern
ment the documents mentioned in the
bordereau?' This issue was made posi-
BILE through the establishment of the
facts that Esterhazy wrote the border
eau and that the conviction of 1894 was
illegal. 1t is these facts which at this
moment seem to be questioned by the
Rennes judges and witnesses.
In the present instance it is not con-
ceivable that the supreme court of APP
peal will permit any verdict to stand
that shall not be based upon its own
judgment. 1t may therefore safely be
said that if, carried away by devotion
to their criminal chiefs and by the per-
nicious esprit militaire that has demor-
allied all France, the Judges in Rennes
shall return a verdict of guilty, the SUI
preme court will Instantly set it aside.
In that case it may order Dreyfus be-
fore a new court-martial or it may for
now perfectly obvious reasons simply
declare the prisoner to be innocent, and
thus put an end to the cause celebre
that has disgraced France and her ar
my for five years. In either case the
prisoner cannot but receive justice-in

TIE MoRMohS IN BOSTON

In explaining his revocation of the
permit authorizing Elder Jensen to
speak a week ago Sunday, on Boston
common, Mayor Quincy is quoted as
saying that he did not know that the
petitioner intended to advocate Nor
monism. Having since been informed
by letter that that was what the elder
did, the mayor thought the privilege
should be suspended for further in
quiry. Believing that polygamy, which
is under the ban of the law in this conn
try, lis one of the prominent tenets of
the Mormon doctrine" Mayor Quincy
adds: Il should not think it proper to
allow Mormonism to be preached on
Boston common" On the other hand
Elder Jensen is quoted as telling a re-
porter that "polygamy has been abso-
lutely and forever vetoed by the presi-
dent of the Mormon church. Person
ally and upon my honor, declare that
no plural marriages have been contract
ed since 1893"
The question now seems to be, Will
Elder Jensen impart this information
to Mayor Quincy, with the assurance
that polygamy is not to be taught by
him, and then will Mayor Quincy re-
new the permit to make Sunday ad-
dresses on the common? If such assur-
ances are given, it is hard to see how
the mayor can refuse the permit. con-
sistently with his protestations in re-
gard to free speech.
The recent introduction Of the Nor
mon propaganda in New England NAV
be regarded as a challenge The agita-
ton against the seating of Congress
man-elect Roberts of Utah has stimu-
lated the Latter Day Saints to make
unusual efforts in their own defense. It
is but fair to admit that one motive
may be an honest desire to correct
some common misapprehensions of
Mormon character and religious beliefs
but at the same time, it is not to be
persecution were anticipated and even
welcomed by the church fathers as DO
tent means Of arousing their friends
strengthening their own organization
at home and exciting sympathy among
the Gentiles. In some of the southern
states, the Mormon missionaries have
been mobbed, and it is no strain upon
credulity to suspect that an exhibition
of hostility in New England would give
satisfaction in Salt Lake City, as tend
ing to promote the martyrdom idea.
So far as moral or immoral effects are
concerned, the advent of the Mormon
missionaries may be regarded with
equaniplity, for New Englanders as a
whole can be trusted to treat them with
indifference. 1t is where ignorance is
rife that the impostures Of Joseph
Smith find most congenial soil.
