The Democratic politicians who
thought they discerned an effective
campaign issue in the divided senti.
ment among Republicans on the Gu
ban reciprocity question are doomed
to disappointment. When the ques.
tion came up on the floor of the house
the southern sugar cane congressman
bolted their organization and refused
to vote with the majority of the Dem
ocrats. In the senate the same situ-
alton now appears. Although these
southern men are Democrats and pre-
sumably free traders" yet they pro-
pose to see the local industries OF
their own states protected. Had the
Democrats been able to present an
unbroken front in the house and SEN
ate in favor of tariff reduction they
would certainly have been in a posi
tion to criticise the division of senti-
ment among the Republicans. but as
il is they find a similar situation in
their party and any such argument
necessarily lacks all force.

After all. young Mr. Bailey takes n
sensible view of the proposition to
boom him for the presidency. Sew
eral generations will have to pass be-
fore a man from the heart, or the ex-
treme southern limits, of the south
can hope to reach the presidential
chair This is not altogether due to
the fact that the north and south had
to settle their differences upon the
field of battle. The bitterness of the
war period is rapidly passing away.
But in a relative sense the south Is
non-progressive and is too far from
the great hives of industry and the
center of population. The ideas of
her statesmen are linked too closely
with the past. Mr.. Bryan was at
some disadvantage, owing to the fact
that his home was west of the Mis-
sissippi river. and Mr. Bailey is well
aware that whatever a mans ability
and popularity may be the state or
region he halls from cuts some figure
among the people. For some time to
come our presidents are likely to be
chosen from the great industrial CEN
ter OF the nation.

LAcEYs LEASING BILL.

The leasing bill recently introduced
in congress by Representative Lacey
OF Iowa appears to be less objection.
able than all others heretofore of.
fered, as II is evidently intended to
be for the benefit OF actual settlers
and small stockmen. The bill pro.
vides that so much of the arid and
semi-arid public lands not capable OF
irrigation as may be necessary for
the purpose of the proposed law, may
be leased for stock grazing purposes,
subject to the right Of mineral and
other entries under existing laws.
All leases will be for FIVE years and
will be limited to an area of 5000
acres for any one person, the leases
to be not transferable. These Ieas.
es can be made only to actual home.
stead settlers or to freeholders whose
lands are In the vicinity of the lands
to be leased by them. Nothing in the
proposed law will prevent Iessees or
other persons or corporations from
the privilege of grazing their stock
upon the public lands not included
In the leases. The regulations will
provide for the reservation of water.
ing places and streams where practic.
able to render them accessible from
the leased lands in the vicinity and
must provide for necessary rights of
way across other leased lands in or.
der to allow stockmen to have access
to lands leased by them.
But just how the lessees are going
to derive any benefits unless such
lands are fenced is not clear. AS all
leases will be for a period of FIVE
years 1t is question whether the
use of the land would pay for the
fencing, unless the leases can be re-
Dewed. AS the land will be subject
to entry under existing Laws what is
to prevent q settler from fling des.
ert claim on the land after II is en-.
closed?
II is doubtful whether a leasing
law can be constructed that would
not be Objectionable in some of its
features. and as there is a strong feel
ing against leasing any portion of the
public domain Mr.. Lacey's bin may
be pigeon-holed before II gets good
start, though il is an improvement
upon some others that have been Of
fered.

The Democratic party should re.
member one thing. and that is that IL
never gained a point or an office by
attacking the government when en-.
gagged in war. The people, above all
things, are patriotic, and they stand
by their soldiers wherever they are,
even though some of them make mis-.
takes in the discharge of their du.
ties. The United States troops are in

and order prevails everywhere. II

DR.. Craig had a right to do as he

law grants the right to kill beaver
under such circumstances. The same
law gives the right to collect speci-
mems under the direction of. and in
the interest of any state educational
institution of the state of Montana.
but says nothing of national institu.
tions and geological gardens. What
ever disposition is made of this Fer
gus county product. DIR. Craig is ac-
tuated by laudable motives. IL the
states are going to impose severe re-
strictions upon the collection Of ami.
mails then the nation must despair of
ever having geological garden
worthy of the name. The collection
at Washington is one of the many OBJ
jects of interest to those who visit
the nations capital and 1t should be
encouraged in every way. II is not
the true purpose of the game law to
place obstacles in the way of those
who have the enterprise and public
spirit to collect rare specimens of
animals and birds for preservation
Game wardens should try to earn their
salaries looking after pot hunters. In

norance or malice, are committing

TEXAS CATTLEMEN.

A mass meeting of Texas cattlemen
was held at Fort Worth. Texas. last
week, and their deliberations were
important in showing one of the caus-
es for the increased price in beef and
their solicitude as regards the remov.
al of duties on foreign meats.
The growers had grievance
against the Interstate Cotton Seed
Crushers' association for refusing to
indorse a resolution introduced by
Col. Hobbs, editor OF the New York
Provisioner, asking congress to not
remove duties on foreign meats and
deprecating the investigation Of the
methods of the alleged beef trust by
the United States courts. This .ac-
ton of the cotton seed crushers caus.
ed unusual concern among the stock
raisers. as they say that the present
thigh prices Of beef are mainly due to
the fact that cattle feeders were
forced to pay the mills from $22 to
$27 per ton for meal cake. which Is
IS higher than was ever known and
an advance on hulls from IS to IS
The cattlemen say that the cotton
seed men have disposed Of their prod
uct to the stockmen at these fabulous
prices, and yet they refuse to favor q
resolution which has for its purpose
the best interests of the farmer. the
feeder and the cattle raiser. The
cattlemen also resolved to hereafter
demand lower prices for cotton seet
products from the mills of Texas ant
other states and are determined Il
carry on the war to finish.
The scarcity of corn and othel
kinds of feed occasioned by last year.
drouth created a demand for mea
cake which the mill owners have TAX

and the cattle growers have jus

One evidence that the merger has
merged is the absence from our coun-
ty of those genial and ubiquitous live
stock agents who came early and Of
ten and always with a pleasant smile
and plenty of assurance that his road
offers the best inducement to ship
pers. But he comes no more. Cattle
men and woolgrowers can buy their
own cigars and pay their money and
take their choice" of railroads. II
all goes into the pool. This is all
very well If a cinch In freight rates
does not follow as the next play on
the board. One Of the objects of the
combine is to reduce operating ex-
penses. and the absence of these
agents shows how it can be done.
Eventually railroad offices will be
| consolidated in many cities Of the
west and some very agreeable gen
tlemen let out to rustic new jobs. As
a matter of economy merging will nc
doubt be a success, though 1t makes
hard lines for very worthy and capa
BILE class of men. AS long as 1t works
no injury to the general public there
will be little complaint, but 1t will
take time to reveal what Mr.. Hill has
up his sleeve.
