IS A THING OF THE PAST.

! one Horned steer Took Too Much space
 and Held Too Decided optnions.
 Ten years from now the visitors at the stock yards in Chicago will Iooh at the massive horns nearly six feet from tip to tip that hang over the doorways of offices and hardly be able to believe that they were taken from the head of .beef critter" on the Texas ranges, and that hundreds oi thousands of cattle with such horns once ran half wild on the ranches and plains Of the Lone Star stats. For the passing of the long horned, long, legged, uncertain colored and still more uncertain tempered Texas steer is thing of today, and i'll his place one finds steekiiy built, red or foan ani- nal, with short, stubby horns, or no horns at all. The Texas steer of to- day is not properly descended from the Texas cattle of tba= past. Be has sim ply sHpplanted the others on the ranges, and the former animal has either migrated farther south or has gone ont into space and is 10 more. The in HoKement-as it most certainly is-has been brought about in many ways. The first great change came when the cattle man decided that ear space that could be filed up by good, salab1e beef, was more profitable than that taken up by the picturesque horns of the Texas steer, and began to dehorn the yearlings and young steers. More could be gotten into a car, as they could stand closer together It was but a step to then begin to improve the quality by crossing the cows with fine bred bulls, Durham, Hereford and Angus, and the Texas steer of 1900 will compare very fayorably with the cat tle in Missouri He has taken on weight, and will average 100 to 150 Roun Is heavier tban in former days

An Incident with Complication Just
 Little Out of the Usual

Little Out of the Usual.
 It always disturbs me eaid Mr. Ellington, ito see a man or the ele- vated read offer his seat to woman when he is about to get of; he has perhaps let her stand in front of hjq for blocks, and now when he is about ito give ID his seat anyway he makes a show of giving It to her. a curious exhibition ef about thre4 quarters con. eeit and the rest check Usually the woman pays no attention to this man. she takes the seat without thanks without taking any notice of the man whatever. But occasionally there is a variation Of this incident. Sitting in an end corner seat, by the door, waa tired man, who, in a crowded car had kept his seat seemingly because hl thought it was right that he should If he had thought 1t out at all-bus who now when he was about to leave, wanted to have the right person get the seat he was leaving. With this ceit of gallantry. he, when he had risen, touched the sleeve of a young woman who had been standing by the door on the other side of the car op. posite to him. to indicate to her that here was a seat He was slow about this, with the slowness of one tired. or unaecustomed to asserting himself. and while he was stepping forward a small boy who had been standing by the door slid in back of him with boy ish celerity and took the seat.

anunnf.e Lost Opera.

Few people are aware that Gounoc once, in moment of anger, tore up the manuscript of an opera he had composed, and. though he afterwards repented his action, he was quite unable to recall it's melodies. Gounod's opera Faust" was nearly lost to the world by the religious scruples of the great composer. About the time he wrote it he determined henceforth only to v~ate gqrred music, but, happily for l.. ght better of his reso- luL.ez-.

Electricity as we know it is just 100 years old. In 1799 the Italian sci enlist Volta gave definite form to the method of producing the current, and i. is from his name that we have the term yoltmeter to describe the instru- ment which measures the force of the current. and volt as the unit of that measurement.

laborers who reach the age of 60
years either are or have been paup-

If we pursue this policy, if we

us. If we annex nations to which
we cannot apply our system of gov

The Need of Farmers.

In speaking of the need Of farm
ers, in the law making bodies OF
our state government, the Pittsburg
inquirer says: More farmers are
needed in State and National Leg
lslatures. We make this statement
not simply because we are working
for the farmers, but i'll behalf OF the
veal of the whole public. 1t is
true that some farmer members of
Congress, or of State Legislatures,
are not much OH speech making,
they may not even be highly edu-
Gated, but they are certain to have
a great fund of hard-headed COM
mon sense and a keen appreciation
of the value of the taxpayers
money. Such representatives Of
the plain people are greatly needed
to offset the influence and votes OF
the lawyers and other men who get
into office mainly because of their
gift of CAB. The latter too often
have only one sided view of the
public interest, and little, if any,
conception of the value OF money"

Ragtlms Prosperity.

Even conceding that the full din
ner pail is the chief end ofthe work
ing man, it is not doing Mark
Hanna good service as all issue. He
would be glad if it had never been
mentioned. All over the coal re-
gions of this State, the full dinner
pail is no more than a bassed mem
ory. Unable to bear up under the
weight Of burdens laid upon them
by greedy and inhuman operators,
the miners have quit work, the
mines have shut down and now the
whole region presents a horrible
spectacle of hunger and want. In
New England most of the woolen
mills and many other industries are
running on what has come to be
known as "rag time" that is hall
a day three days i'll a week. There
are no full dinner pail there.

The Flag at Pekin.

The republicans say we cannot
haul down the flag where it has
once been hoisted. If that is true,
how are you going to get the flag
away rom Pckin? Our soldiers are
there and carried the stars and
stripes with them, and if your doc
trine that whenever the flag floats
over a land the land cannot be given
back is true, you cannot get your
soldiers away from Pekin, and il
you follow the doctrine that you
followed in Manila, you have got
to take the whole Chinese empire,
because we took all the islands OF
the Philippines, and if that doctrine
is true we have got to take the 400,
600, 900 subjects over there. 1t is a
thousand times better to haul down
the flag in the Philippine islands
and raise the flag Of the Philippine
republic than to change our flag
from the flag of the republic to the
flag of all empire. w. ]. BRYAN.

You are we'll acquainted with the
principles that each candidate rep
resents. Mckinley is for trusts,

Last week we asserted that J.

Democratic nomination for Sena-

we were in error. Mr.. Cochran,
after receiving the vote Of every
conferree, positively declined to ac-
cept the honor, and his declination
was accepted.

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.

Putting the American flag where
it ought not to be is a Mckinley
speciality which has brought the
country trouble and humiliation in
big chunks. But that did not pre-
vent his ordering the flag to be
raised i'll the wrong place again last
week. 1t is by Mr.. McKinley's
order to be raised over the notorious
Ii Hung Chang, who is to be taken
from Shanghai to Pekin under its
protection, and on board an Amer
ican warship if he wishes, and when
he gets to Pekin Gen. Chaffee and
his brave American soldiers are to
be his body guard. What use to
make OF the American flag and
American soldiers !! This old rascal
has been afraid to leave Shanghai
afraid alike of his own countrymen
and the powers, with the exception
of Russia, which is said to own him
body and soul. And now Mr.. Nc
Klnley rushes into the breach and
raises the American flag over him
and takes him to Pekin, regardless
of whether the other powers con-
slider such action all affront or not,
and he goes even further. He has
promised Ii Hung Chang that he
would use his good Offices to per-
suade the powers to enter into
negotiations with him, although
several of them have already refused
to do so. Mr.. McKinley's friend
ship for Ii Hung Chang is really
suspicious.
1t would be easily possible to get
a decision from the U. S. Supreme
Court before the Presidential elec.
ton on the case involving directly
the Constitutional status of Porto
Rico, and incidentally that of the
other island possessions of this gov
ernment, which has been appealed
from the U. S. Circuit Court of the
Southern District of New York; but
the Administration is too much
afraid that the decision will be
against its position to take any
chances. Consequently it may be
accepted as certain that the decision
will not be handed down until after
election. This is not meant to infer
that the Court will in any way be g
party to postponing action on this
important question for partisan
reasons. That will not be necessary
In the several legal preliminaries
necessary to advance the case to al
early hearing it will be an easy
matter for the attorney representing
the Administration, usually the
Solicitor General, to head off tn,
attempt to get a decision befor,
election without resorting to an,
extraordinary methods.
Publicly the Republicans pre-
tend, of course, that their majorit,
in Maine and Vermont are entirel,
satisfactory, but they put a yer,
different face upon the returns whe,

President Diaz's Ability.

No Latin-American leader has ever shown
the ability of President Diaz in the govern
ment Of a Spanish American people He has
brought his country from a condition of po-
litical and commercial chaos to one of sys-
tematized prosperity. Two principles have
governed this president, or, rather this die
tator, the first being the utmost friendliness
to foreign capital and the second the careful
consideration of the needs and wishes of
the landed and mOneyed native aristocracy
There are about 10000 land owners in Mex
leo: every modern Improvement which may
be found from the Rio Grande to Yucaian
Is owned by foreign investors With the
land owners and the capitalists as his
friends the political strength Of President
DiaZ has been unassailable.
The republic is now reaching a point when
there must be some deviation from the pol
1cleS of the past twenty-five years. Whether
President Diaz is not too old and too thor
oughly imbued with his methods Of the past
to make any decided changes is a question
OF considerable Importance. Cecil Rhodes
once sent a representative to Mexico to
make report upon the ACCESSIBILITY of very
large investments by the Rhodes syndicate:
the report was unfavorable. The idea had
come to Rhodes after others had SKINNED
the cream of remarkable opportunity
That shrewd African capitalist quickly
grasped the inevitable outcome already at
hand, as shown by Senior Lmonteur's re-
port, and he said, when asked to the fu-
that upon the death of President D!az the
conditions in Mexico will be any better than
those of any other Spanish American re-
public"
There Is little danger that Mexico would
suffer any great relapse al this time even
If President Diaz should be called away
from the head of the government The
property owners and the foreign investors
have strong hand upon the course of
events, and any disposition to decrease the
value Of vested rights would be severely
and instantly repressed. 1t has long been
believed in the City of Mexico that Should
President Diaz die Limonteur would succeed
him almost Immediately. and he is looked
upon as the coming leader of this republic.
representing, as he does, a younger and
more advanced school Of thought There is
nothing disparaging to President Diaz in
saying this. for the degree Of civilization
represented in the economic policies of the
minister Of finance would not have been sp-
plicable at all at the time when Diaz was
putting forth his strongest effort His work
has made possible what is soon to come,
under the direction Of men who have paid
more attention to economic science than
was possible with President Diaz, who has
made himself an expert in Spanish Amer
lean human nature.
