low, If I should say that the prichy
pear is one of the best forage plants on the
Texas range you might think l was liar,
but il would be the truth. In western
Texas the grass sometimes is burned up
with drought. and water becomes scarce.
1t was seen that cas.e were eager TO eat
the prickly pear, which is succulent and
filed with Juice but the nettles stung their
mouths and tongues until they grew swol-
len and bloody. The right man generally
arrives. and when he came this time he
had a compressed air gasoline torch small
enough to be carried easily on foot or
horseback The compressed air forced
flame from tube to distance of three or
four feet, making it easy for man TO go
into a priclxly pear patch with torch and
burn the nettles from the plants as rapidly
as he could pass among them. On the
Pryor ranch one man is able to scorch
enough pear plants to feed 200 cattle every
day. Thousands Of cattle aret provided
with forage in this manner in dry seasons.
The plants contain so much juice that cat

correspondent Of the North China
Herald, says the Chinese government
is secretly planning another upheaval.
He points out that news has been re-

empress dowager has received secret
reports from all viceroys and gover-
nors regarding the Number of soldiers
and amount Of war munition that
could be raised and instructions have
heen given to train the Manchus in
the use of the rife and in western drill
they then to be drafted to the differ
ent provinces to instruct the soidiery.
Adyices have been received from
Canton to the effect that the kwangsi
rebels have captured the prefectural
city of Szenfu and also several district
cities in the same prefecture. A num-
her of the officials of the captured
cities either committed suicide or
were captured by the rebels, whilt
some succeeded in escaping. II is
stated Oh good authority that the reb-
els recently received large amount
of provisions, magazine rifles and am
munition, which caused the rebellion,
dormant for some time to be re-
newed.
Two battalions of troops, raiseG~ih-
Hanan have reached Canton and beer

of wounded escaped. In Tsanhsien

Politics and the South.

II President Roosevelt's distribution
Of patronage" were guided by some
plain, consistent and worthy principle,
his course as to the Lilly White Re-
publicans of the south might at least
be understood. It is as near funda-
mental notion of the Republican party
as 1t can hope to have in these later
days that all men are equal in its
ranks, without distinction of race or
color. The party has in practice made
q deep line of demarkation between
members who are consumers or wage
earners and members who enjoy the
favors Of the tariff, but discrimina-
ton on the score of color has never
openly been advocated. Mr.. Roosevelt
might very properly say that he would
not tolerate it in men of his appoint
ment to public Office who at the same
time are active in the politics Of their
state. Then, If he kept to high
standard of personal fitness, and, espe-
cially, II he avoided all grounds for
just suspicion that he was plotting for
the nomination in 1904, and using the
patronage to promote the plot, he
would hold position which the great
body of his party in the north would
undoubtedly sustain. New York

A Childish Aruument,

The argument put forth by the
learned attorney of the coal trust that
because Lincoln, Garfield and McKin-
ley worked more than eight hours a
day. therefore the hoggish coal trust
should have the rigt to compel its
miners to work longer hours, is alb
solutely childish The fact that q
three great heroes named above had
to fight most desperately for their
bread and butter, is rather reflection
on those fine gentlemen who own the
tools of industry than an argument
that the employees has right to fix
the length of days work. = Youngs-
