The Beef RefaiIers, Revolt.

lFTom the Portland ATgus.)
The beef trust has returned TO the charge by
again raising the price Of beef, lamb, and pork.
1t is also said 10 have established telegraphic
ticker system Of espionage, blacklist and boy
cott. by which every butcher must pay his bill
weekly on a certain day, be Immediately black
listed at every Office OF the trust, so that he can
yet no meat and DO no business. The trust is
carrying things with high hand which should
give further impetus to the revolt Of the New
York retailers. The high prices of beef will also
stimulate stock raising in this section, and re-
lieye the situation. Indeed, the movement is
gaining ground among Eastern and Middle States
farmers of returning to the habit of thirty years
ago and raising a few fat cattle each farm
for the market. 1t win not do to leave the
whole field to the beef trust else by-and-by no
one but the trust promoters viii be able to buy
meat. If one cause of the enhanced price of beef
is a reduction in the supply, as alleged, another
strong argument is furnished for revival Of
cattle raising on our New England farms.

THE SALARY QUESTION.

Editor Free Press: There seems to
be some misunderstanding regarding
the power to increase the salary of the
police of this city. In order to clear
away the mist and set the editor of the
Review straight, quote from the char
ter of Mankato, page 4O4, which says it
shall be the duty of the mayor to ap-
point two day police, besides a chief,
the day police at salary of not more
than $40 month. and the chief $50 per
month. 1t further provides that the
mayor shall appoint four men desig-
mated as night watch, the salary to be
fixed by the common council of the city
of Mankato and not by any provision
of said charter. This leaves the coun-
Gil at liberty to fix the salary of the
night watch at $50 month or any
other sum that it cares to.

Mrs Schroeder, mother of Clement

serious injury from a strange cow at
about o'clock Friday afternoon. She
was sitting at her window at her resi-

COW with a long. rope attached came
across her potato patch to the window.
She went out to drive the COW away,
when the animal attacked her viciously
and would have inflicted much injury
but for the fact that it had been de-
horned. Mrs. Schroeder was knocked
down and bruised severely and her
clothing torn. A stranger who was
passing by noticed her predicament and
drove the animal away.
Poundmaster May was notified and
captured the cow after much difficulty
and placed her in the pound.

injuries, and found them not to be
serious.
