KipIIng supports England's Policy I'm
South frican Affairs.

South African Affairs.
A public meeting was held at Brighton,
Eng, Saturday evening under the auspices
of the South African association in support
of the government. The meeting hall was
crowded, over 5000 persons being present,
owing to the report that Rudyard Kipling
would speak. The audience, before the
addresses were begun, sang patriotic songs.
The chairman, Lord Talbot, at the outset
read the following letter from Mr.. Kip
ling:-
~ see the papers have generously credit
ed me with the intention of speaking at
your meeting; but, as l pointed out when
the association did me the honor to in
vite me, public speaking is entirely out OF
my way. / need not say | am entirely in
sympathy with the object of the meeting
and realize our country's obligation at this
crisis TO support her majesty's government
unreservedly. Their demand, take it to
be, is for equal rights for all white men
from the Cape to the Iambesi, their aim
the establishment of republic instead of
an oligarchy, and their vindication new
and regenerate Transvaal, governed under
equal laws formed in open council by free
men, neither corrupted nor coerced, repre-
senting every interest in the land. These
things are good and desirable, and | recog-
nize that it is the duty of each one of us,
according to his abilities, to work toward
their attainment. With every wish for
the thorough success of the meeting, l am,
yours sincerely,
"RUDYARD KIPLING."
The audience greeted the reading of the
letter with hearty cheers.

Sioux CITY Journal, 10: us it right
for a farmer TO take $50 or so for a
steer which hasn't cost him more than
$40 or SO: At least ought the farmer
to xact Two hundred such dollars: The
question is before him, and he must
decide whether be will be patriotic and
devote himself to a glorious future for
our country, or whether he will settle
down to the gold standard and slavery
No farmer ought to exact such a price
for a steer and il he has entered into a
trust with all the other farmers OF the
United States to exact it, Or il he hae
corrupted Legislators to pass a law under
color OF which he can exact it, or make
i. appear a legal charge when it would
not appear a free and open market, that
farmer ought to be shot at once. He is

Wild Horses.

The Phoenix correspondent of the Los Angeles Times, says: On the au- thority of E. $. Gosney, one of the best informed stOckmen of Northern Ari- zona, fully 9 per cent. of the range horses of his county are unbranded and wholly wild. On the ranges of North ern Arizona are estimated to be more than 10000 head of wild horses. They constitute nuisance of large prOpor- tions. Cattlemen hesitate to turn their broken horses loose on the range. Even the staidest of old riding horses are often driven of by the wild bands, to soon become as wild and shy IS any of their companions. Several sales have been made in the past year of large bands of branded range horses at g head, but in no instance has the pur chaser gathered % the limit of his purchase. Too many good horses are ''run down" in corralling the wild stock. and even the hardest of "bron- cho busters'' hesitates before mounting one of the unnamed steeds from the hills. There is good blood in many of the wild herds. In Coc0nino county is a strong strain of patchen blood. while in Yavapai county, in the early 'SOs the great AlmOnt and Gosper's Hambleton- ian (No. 7) were at the head Of d mag nificant stud list at Sullivan's ranch in Williamson Valley.
