HIDES AND HORNS.

at the headquarters range, near
 Pantano, this week
 Globe Times: Max Bonne is
 expecting shipment of 200 head
 of the finest and latest lot of beef
 cattle ever brought to Globe, and
 he has made arrangements to have
 such shipments become q regular
 feature in his business.
 Range News: Local cattlemen
 complain that the drought which
 has set in California will lessen
 the demand for Arizona cattle and
 shipments are likely to fall off.
 However, there is no danger under
 the general conditions but that every cattleman who has stock for
 sale can find q market for them.
 Stockman. In common with the
 policy of the Indian Department to lease the Indian lands for stock grazing purposes, it is announced that the Fort Apache reservation will be open for cattlemen to secure leases. All information can be obtained from Major c. w. Grouse, the agent, at Fort Apache.
 St. Johns Herald: C. O. Howe has returned from Denver. where he has been attending to his Colo rado cattle interests. We hope that Mir. Howe will view with pleasure the improved conditions in these parts and conclude to remain in the cattle business here, and thus give the lie to the reports that he intended to leave Apache county.
 Stockman: w. K. Dysart, cat tie buyer for the Cudahy Packing Co.,, of Los Angeles, was in the valley this week, and made several i purchases of Alfalfa fat cattle on both sides of the river. Mir. Dysart l has been buying cattle in Mexico | in the past, and after his business was transacted in this valley, he | journed to that land to look over the situation there.
 Mesa Free Press: W. o. Gib- ! bons, of St Johns, Apache county, came in today and reports the | arrival of his 2300 head of sheep. and are camped north of Mcdowell. | The shearing will begin on the 27th of this month at the shearing pens, six or seven miles east of here. Mir. Gibbons left Apache county last October and is expecting the arrival of Scott Bros, who are on the way from Navajo county with their 14,000 sheep to shear.
 Stockman: Just to show what can be done in the cattle business, when the start is made with good cattle, such as are raised in Arizona, the following incident is given from the columns of the Denver Field and Farm; A friend of ours in El Paso county bought in Arizona heifers, four years ago, 1t S13.50 each. He has sold from ,his bunch and its increase enough 5o bring him $2,300, and has left sixty head of one to three-year-olds worth $1 200. He places the total expense and care of his herd, in- ,luding taxes and interest, at not nore that 5000, leaving his account with a profit balance of $2,375. I Cwenty-two years ago he began V 'anching with 75 cents, pair of ( ponies and an old wagon.

GROWING IN INTEREST.

The New York Herald comments
on the fact that when Mr.. Richard
son, the Democratic leader of the
House, called the attention of the
Ways and Means Committee to the
extortions of the Beef Trust and
asked if something could not be
done to give the people relief, he
"was met with indefinite replies
and on motion Mr.. Dalzell an i'm
mediate adjournment was taken "
The Herald declares that it is i'm
possible for the Republican party
to play the ostrich role in the mat
ter. MIR. Richardson was aiming
to reduce the tariff taxes on meat
so as to bring in the element of
competition against the trust, but
the friends Of the meat combine
would have none of it. The Her
aid says:
"Having an assured tariff mono
poly of the home market, the
trust eXacts its own terms from
the unfortunate home consumer,
while shipping over his head
enormous quantities to be sold
abroad in open competition in non
free trade communities. Thus in
the eight months ending with
February no less than 2lO millions
of pounds of fresh beef were
shipped abroad, besides 73 millions
of pounds in canned and picked
form. Then for the benefit Of the
trust a duty of l5 per cent is i'm
posed on hides-the raw material
of a great American industry-with
a resulting tax on every man, wO-
man and child that wears a pair of
shoes. For it's benefit, also, we
have a minimum duty Of 21a cents
pound on glue, a duty of 30 cts.
on manufactures of horn, and so
on.
"Off with the duty on meats to-
begin with If the trust is going
to ship them out of the country by
hundreds Of thousands of tons,
give the hungry American con-
sumer chance to at least compete
on even terms with foreigners fol

THE RICE INDUSTRY.

Gnstave jain, a wealthy planter,
having interests in Louisiana and
Texas, but living in New York,
passed through New Orleans on
his way to inspect his Texas mill
located at Beaumont. He COM
mented on the condition of the
rice raising industry of this State,
and said that rice is the most prof
table Of crops raised in this State.
He said that irrigation was the
problem that would have to be
solved, and that in order to attain
the very best results from rice cul-
ture, the farmers would have to
correct their methods with regard
to the selection Of seed and the
details of the gathering and cult.

the rice used in the island of Porto
Rico comes almost entirely from
the City of New Orleans.

CUBA is UNDEVELOPED.

The United States geological
survey is about to issue a Gazetteer
of Cuba" compiled under the
direction of Henry Gannett, the
geographer. The publication con
tains comprehensive data regarding
the geography, resources, climate,
people, occupations, civil divisions,
etc, of the island, and is illus
trated by maps and plates showing
distribution of population and prod
ucts.
1t says the mineral resources, so
far as developed, consist entirely
of hematite ore, which has been
mined for many years few miles
east of Santiago.
Nearly all Of the ore, which con-
tains about G2 per cent of iron, is
shipped to the United States. AS
phaltum has been found in several
places.
There were in 1899 COLL farms
with an average size of l43 acres
and an average cultivation area Of
thirteen acres. Mantanzas and
Habana provinces are the most
highly cultivated parts of the
island. Of the cultivated area less
percent was owned by its occu-
pants. Sugar cane occupies Al per
cent of the cultivated lands.
There were in Cuba in 1899, 2O7
sugar mills, or centrals, producing
daily 6l, ,407 bags Of sugar. There
were also So stills, with a daily
capacity of 16l,75 gallons. For
transportation the island depends
on very poor wagon roads and
100 miles of railways.

THE AMERICAN NEGRO.

~ DOCK just lSsueu ny heVeleuu
Thomas Dixon entitled "The Leop-
ards Spots,' on the future of the
American negro, is bringing forth,
much comment over the entire
country. The noted divine is most
bitter in his utterances against the
race, and while in most instances
his assertions are too true, his idea
of deporting the negro from this
country is as prepOsterous as his
predictions of their menace to the
South are exaggerated.
Following are few quotations
from the book:
The future American must be an
Anglo-SaXOn or mulatto! We are
now deciding which it shall be.
The future of the world depends
upon the future Of this republic.
The republic can have no future if
racial lines are broken and its
proud citizenship sinks to the level
of mongrel breed of mulattos.
The South must fight this battle to
finish. Two thousand years look
down upon the struggle, and two
thousand years Of the future bend
low to catch the message of life or
death Get rid Of the negrOi
Ye gods, that would be task The
negro is the sentimental pet of the
nation. Put him on continent
alone, and he will sink like an iron
wedge to the bottomless pit of bar
barism The African has held
one fourth of the globe for 5000
years. He has never taken one
step in progress or rescued one
jungle from the ape and the adder
except as the slave Of superior
race. He has had one hundred
years of trial in the Northern
States Of this Union, with every
facility Of culture and progress,
and he has not produced one man
who has added feathers weight
to the progress of humanity.
The more you educate, the more
impossible you make his position
in democracy. Can you change
the color of his skin, the kink of hi
hair, the bulge Of his lips, tht
spread Of his nose with u spelling
booki The negro is the human
donkey. You can train him, bu
can't make Of him a horse. Mat
him with horse, You lose tn
horse and get a larger donke,
called mule, incapable Of pre-
serving his species. What is calle,
our race predjudice is simply God
first law Of nature-the instinct o
self-preservation.
Two great questions shadow tn
future of the American people
the conflict between labor an
capital and the conflict between tn
African and Anglo-Saxon race:
The greatest, most dangerous an
most hopeless Of these is the latter
The towering figure Of the free
negro has been growing more an
more ominous, until its menae
' overshadows the devastation of th
South, throwing the blight OF il
shadow over future generations,
veritable black death for the Ian
: and its people.
