WILL BENEFIT FARMERS,

After all it does not appear that the
rise IN the price OF beef cattle in the
United States is attributable to the
rand decrease in the area Of range
lands IN the West. but is in a large
measure due to the rapid increase in
foreign demand for American beef, The
total number Of cattle exported In the
fiscal year ending with June. 1901 was
lsa ,ls and the value Of this item in
our export trade was sS',5SSsSo, of this
total 50 per cent went to England. The
East Indies and Bermudas took about
s5coo head. and some thousands Of cat
lie were sold in South America, Re
sides this export live cattle, fresh can
ned and cured beef was exported to
the amount of s4cs7s,75S.
The increase in the price Of beef
while it may not BE- very desirable
from the view point OF the consumer
may in the end prove a source of
nroft to the general farming popula-
,,on Of the country. with the advent
Of the large cattle raiser who had free
access to the vast ranges Of public land
for grazing his herds the farmer with
a few head Of stock found he could
not compete in the beef market and
was forced to give up that branch Of
his avocation. Should the changing
conditions Of the West result in the
cattle kings being compelled to re
duce their herds and provide range for
them at their own expense, it will not
be long before small bunches Of grain
fed cattle will be seen browsing in the
pastures of our farmers who will thus
be enabled to appreciably increase his
own revenues.

HANDS OFF!

There have been some German ex-
pressions regarding South America
which void not be worth talking about
but for the fact that leading German
newspapers think it necessary to dis
claim for the nation any responsibility
for some of the literature Of the Pan
German association. This association
has published natter proposing the
annexation OF most Of the South AM
erican countries. Holland, Turkey and
a few other portions Of ,he earth. The
Berlirer Zeltung asks OF a sentence in
one Of these publications: What does
this mean but that when our navy is
strong enough we shall begin wars Of
conquest in all lands where the Ger
man element is numerous" The So
ciety has some sort OF governmental
recognition, and FOR that reason the
Berlin paper says IS language carnot
fail to be irritating abroad, md that
with the cognizance Of German min
isters and consuls an agitation has
begun representing Germans in foreign
parts as oppressed and needing help
from home This has aroused the
hostility of the foreign communities
and is hurting German interests, and
the more sagacious German business
men in South American cities are ar
raging themselves against the so-called
Pant German agitation. It is lOt like
ly that a considerable number Of re-
sponsible Germans have any idea Of
appropriating South American coun-
tries, but II they have they may as
well understand that the United states
would resist It as 1t would resist an in
vasion Of its own territorles.-s F.

TIMELY TOPICS.

Most persons are blgots either In re-
ligiCn, politics, morals, friendship or
science, and genuine liberation is an
extremely rare virtue. A bigot Is one
who is unreasonably welded to his
dogma or opinion, and who will not
admit that the contrary dogma or
opinion can be right. Few bigots ad-
nit or know that they are such be-
cause none Of them entertalns a sus-
picion that he may be wrong Each
thinks his own view the height Of rea-
son, and can see nothing but absurd
ity and illiberality in the tenets that
he deems heterodox. Religious bigots
are bad enough, but irreligious bigots
are worse When a man makes up
