LIGHT ON THE FOREST RESERVE SCHEME

DENVER, Colo, Jan. 26.-The work
of judging the range and thoroughbred
cattle on exhibition iii connection with
the second annual convention of the
National Live stock association was
completed teday. The prizes are to be
awarded tomorrow. The judges ere
we'll known eastern feeders. It looks
this morning as if the next convention
will go to Fort Worth. One of the
Questions which have for years agitated
the stock growers Of the west-the con-
aicting interests Of the cattle men and
sheep men--was precipitated upon the
convention today by the consideration
lof resolution recommending to the
department of the interior that rule
prohibiting the grazing Of sheep on
forest reserves in the west be abrogated.
A substitute resolution approving the
the action Of the government in pro-
recting forest reserves was intrcduced
by Ralph Talbot, of Colorado. John
g. Mackay, Of Utah. author of the
Original resolution, opened the dis
cussion with paper, in which he
set forth, among other things,
that the whole system of forest reserves
was regulated by the so-calIed National
Forestry association, composed of citi-
zens of New York. Massachusetts and
Pennsylvania, who were opposed to the
range sheep industry and who, perhaps,
sought to establish feudal system of
land ownership. He declared that west
ern people had just cause for complaint
against these eastern citizens for hav-
ing established these forest reserves,
and pointed out that the eating of the
grass and browse in the mountain tim
Der tracts by sheep proved safeguard
against destructive fires. In conclusion
he said sThis great and important
eonyention Olive stock interests should
define its position In no uncertain terms,
and adopt such means, as the wisdom
of this convention dictates, TO have the
President of these United States revoke
the orders or proclamations setting
apart forest reserves in western states.
Smith, of Utah. favored the resolu-
tion and denied that sheep injure the
range. He declared that sheep fertilize
the grass. johnson, Of Colorado, said
many years experience as an irrigator
had taught him that forest reserves in
jure instead of helping the irrigator.
| Speeches of much warmth followed
from Boutwell,, ofWyomlng, Milheison,
of Colorado, and Others Finally Barnes,
OF Arizona, as compromise, offered an
amendment to the substitute permitting
grazing on reserves where no harm is
shown by the result. Adopted.
A resolution was introduced by J..
Vickers, of Arizona, and adopted, re-
/ questing che appointment OF joint
commission Of the two governments to
consider needed laws to regulate and
promote the live stock trade of the
United States and Mexico. w. J. G.
Kenyon, general manager of the Omaha
stock yards, spoke on the relations OF
stock yards to the live stock industry

F. Hopkinson Smith and Art.

Hop Smith,. Hopkinson Smith
in literature and art and on the lee
mre bureau, and Frank H. Smith in
business-began to get along one day
in the Maine woods where he was
spending his vacation. He was "all
business" then. but he had rather a
clever hand for sketching, and often
thought he'd like to make a picture
once in awhile. As he was walking
through the forest that day he came
suddenly into a little glade, where an
artist sat sketching. He was Henry
Fem. He had no notion that anyone
would find him out there, and he was
really annoyed when the stranger
walked cody up and began to LOOK ov-
er his work A minute later Fem was
rendered nearly speechless, for the
stranger Introduced himself by name,
and said he'd like 10 learn how to do
sketching himself, and asked Fem to
give him some points. The audacity of
the proposition carried Smiths point,
though, and his talent was so apparent
,nat Fem not only gave him insTuc-
dion freely, but the two soon became
close friends and have been cronies ev-
er since.-New York Press

That Wonderful Syndicate.

Whenever the witnesses against
Drsyfus run against hard fact in
course of their testimony they dismiss
IL by referring to The great Dreyfus
Syndicate. One of the numerous gen
erals who have gone upon the stand,
and asserted their opinion of the guilt
of the prisoner all The more strongly
by reason of she fact that they were
prepared to submit no relevant testi-
mony in support of their belief. stat
ed that he had been informed by some
one, who had been informed by some
one else, that the friends of the prison
er hail raised a fund of 95,0O0,000
francs to secure his acqulttal. This is
a very large sum, but il is evident, ac-
cordng to testimony that has been Civ
en- by other generals, that it is entire
ly insufficient to meet the situation
and that they must have understated
the amount.
They assert that all the support
which Dreyfus is receiving has been
purchased and that the case has been
the occasion Of worldwide bribery.
The syndicate, they claim, has bought
up practically I've entire press of Am
erica, Of England and of nearly all the
nations Of Europe; it has bribed the
representatives of governments and
in some cases the governments them
selves: it has bought the opinions of
legislators, clergymen, lawyers, princes
and publiclsts of every degree; it has
even Bought a confession from Ester
hazy eaat he is the real criminal and
'wrote the borler5au. 1t has in fact,
been pc.cnt to purchase everybody ex-
capt the incorrouptable generals who
have sworn against him and those
whom they influence IL has over
ccme all of uhe anti-Semitic preiudlces
almost everywhere in the world, eX-
cept among portion of the people of
France, and even there it has made
deep inroads. Surely it is the most
colossal scheme of bribery that the
world ever heard of or ever dreamed
of. 1t is to be feared that though it
may be true 1T is too stupendous for
belief, and that those who are employ
ing it as an argument are weakening
their case instead of blostsring it.
One of the most wonderful things
about it is, in view of the Panama
scandal, how the generals manage to
hold out against the Establishments OF
the golden touch of the shrewd per-
sons who engineered the scheme

Flint Locks.

Old flint lock muskets are still the
principal weapons of hordes of natives
over vast tracts of Africa. The exist
ence of these ancient arms keeps alive
a steady demand for gun fints, a de-
mand which is supplied from the lit
tie Norfolk village of Brandon, where
there are flint pits which have been
worked, as remains found establish,
for at least thirty centuries The bus
mess is a hereditary one. Large
masses of flint are got out of quarries
and then faxed or split Cthe process
being termed knapping'D in order to
get at the core which alone is used
The workmen place the flint uEon a
PAD upon their left leg and then tap it
with a short, heavy hammer. Four
ffths Of the flint thus dealt with is
waste, but of the remainder gun hints,
carbine fiinta and pistol hlnts are still
manufactured, while tinder-box flints
are prepared for the shepherds OF the
remOter parts of Spain and Italy.

More Or Less Anxious.

New York is having a diversion
from her Mazet investigation in the
preparations for the International
yacht race. The Shamrock arrived at
New York several days ago, after a
speedy journey over the Atlantic, a
good deal of which was with the as
sistance of the tow line. The terms of
the races for the Americas Cup en-
brace a provision that the challenging
boat must cross the ocean under her
own sail, with the help of a towing
lender in certain kinds of exceptional
weather The Shamrock made a lib
eral use of the tow lne-probably
more than she is entitled to under the
rules; but any ground there may have
been for objection has been waived,
and me boat and the crew have been
generously received. This country
has held the Americas Cup for many
years, but there appears to be more ap-
pre-ens.on than heretofore that the
challenger will take the trophy to
Great Br.t.an in this year of 1899 The
loss Of the cup, though, should mol
drive the most supersensitive patriot
to Despair If these races are for the
purpose Of perfe2tng the All of build
ing racing yachts a defeat on our side

"Where Is the Humane So
ciety?"

TIE above question, ASKED in your
issue Of the 22nd, can be answered in
few words. There is no humane So
ciety in Washington county.
There are a few individuals who
struggle along from year to year doing
what they can for suffering animals
but as for a finely organized, active,
vigilant body carrying on the work,
there is none.
The city CT Marietta alone should
have a society consisting Of not less
than thousand members at $100
membership. Their would then be in
the cons, ,ant employ of this body
well compensated special agent, who
never ceases ferretlng out inhuman
men. The most eloquent lawyer that
the town affords would be employed
IN pleading The society's cases.
With such an organization, with a
special agent and with an attorney,
there would be little cruelty in Mari
etta or around it,
Could not the Citizens Union father
this cause? Would not the Improve
ment Association assist them? Let us
hear from both societies.
A word in closing regarding a suit
lie punishment for criminals Pris-
on bars nave for them little fear
Gov Theodore Roosevelt advocates a
whipping post, where an appropriate
number of lashes may be inflicted.
