Clashes between the sheep and cattle
interests on the range are becoming OF
almost daily occurrence. While it eau
not be said that there 10 no excuse for
these troubles, nevertheless they must
be condemned. The cattlemen perhaps
have just cause for resenting the on.
croschments Of the sheepmen. but this
docs not empower them to take life or
destroy property. They claim that the
present laws are to blame for the condi-
tions that make their action necessary.
Then they should set about changing
the law. While force seems the only
weapon with which to combat the pre-.
sent situation, it IL impossible to use
that forcs without bloodshed and with
out destroying property. The sensible
way to tide over the present difficulties
is TO get together and adopt Z method Of
procedure which shall % fsr ~ possibls

The statement has frequently been
made that It II possible to cause grains
Of wheat found in ancient Egyptian
sepulchers to germinate and grow.
This statement has been disputed and
the question was discussed 1t. q recent
meeting Of the French Academy Of
Sciences. It was shown that while the
llbumen Of wheat found In . tomb e,o00
years old had undergone NO alteration
the embryo was changed and could not
be caused to germinate. But . fresh
smbryo placed In the ancient albumen
would grow. and this fact. It was said.
probably accounted for the statement
hat the old Egyptian wheat rescued
rom its long sntombment would sprout
and grow.

THE CENTRAL BRIDGE GRAB.

Elsewhere in this mornings paper we PRINT d
letter from John Bethel Uhle. president OIL 'he
Highway Alliance upon the supJect Vi 'he
.Huckeberry" Railroad grab OF the 'eh'ra1
Bridge and viaduct. We are glad TO PUBLISH It,
and to publish anything calculated 10 arouse
opposition to that iniquitous raid upon the peo
nIes nronertv Mr. UhIe thinks it is not yet
time TO give I'D the fight. We hope it is not
though the grab is now perilously near con-
summation 1t has passed the Board oil bS'l-
mate and Apportionment and the Muhlcipai
Council and now needs only to pass the boaru
of Aldermen. Our readers will not De greatly
puzzled to forecast its fate in that bou!- II
ANYTHING is TO be done through exertion of pub
lie opinion or otherwise, it must be done at
once or if will be too late. The powerful street
railroad managers of this city seem to nave de-
cded upon the spolia ton Of those splendid high
ways and to have so lald thelF pldhs lol 'he
raid as to insure success.
Our CORRESPONDENT is quite right in saying that
the neorIe of The Bronx need direct car connec-
tions over the Harlem River at or near that
noint Yes But such connections should be
nroyided by the railroad companies and not at
the puhic cost There are millions OF people
in this CITY who need potatoes, but that Is no
reason why Central Park should be given up TO
the cultivation of those much desired tubers
Neither is there any good reason why bridge
and street which were constructed expressly 10
serve one essential and benefcent purpose
should he diverted from that purpose and be
practically monopolized by another for which
they were not designed at all If there were no
other possible way of connecting the railroads
in The Bronx with those in Manhattan, the sur
render of the bridge might be commendahle.
But there are other ways, plenty of them and
some of them would be adopted quickly enough
were it not so easy in this city for some cor
norations with influence" 10 get what they
want from the public without paying for 1t.
And practically the trolley lines will get the
bridge without paying for it. The rental of
81 900 a year will he merely an addition of in
property which cost several millions,
1t is not yet time, as our correspondent says,
to give up the fight against this monstrous
spoation But there is little time left for win
ming the contest. The public has. at any rate,
fair warning. Every horseman. and every one
who loves riding and driving IS warned that If
this "Huckleberry' grab is consummated con-
munication between the parks and drives Of
Manhattan and those of The Bronx will be
practically barred. and access to the Harlem
River Speedway will be possible only by pass
ing over grdron of trolley tracks and switches
and under a network of trolley wires.
