CATTLE RAISERS TO
ATTACK MEAT TRUST

The meat trust is to be the object of
several attacks in the West during the
next few years. The most important is
that engineered by the stock raisers, who
propose to fight it by building indepen-
dent packing houses at competitive points.
Cattle owners are to contribute to the
capital stock on the basis of 81 for each
head of stock owned by them, while
sheep and hog men are to put up 25 cents
for each piece of live mutton or pork
owned by them. The object of this move
ment is to secure better price for the
live stock and at the same time lower
price for the consumer.
Three years ago live beef sold for Sc 50
hundred while dressed beef brought
$3.50. Now dressed beef is up to So so
while on the hoof cattle bring $3.50 on an
average. The stockmen say that the
packers are getting too big slice of the
profits.
Another movement is to secure the
building of public abattoirs in the larger
cities of the state, where the owners of
cattle may bring their beeves. have them
killed, skinned and dressed at a reason
able figure, and then be permitted to sell
| the carcasses to local butchers. The
chief difficulty in the way is that legisla.
ton is necessary, and even stab at the
beef trust will hardly be strong enough
argument to increase the state appropria-
ton bill.
The most ingenious plan of all is de
vised by John Quinn, an implement sales
man of Lincoln, who is trying to induce
the farmers and meat buyers of the coun
ty to lend him $4,000 With this sum b.
proposes to enter into competition will

to buy his cattle from the stock raisels o

also agrees to sell meat 10 to 20 per cent
cheaper than the packers. In answer tt
the question what would become of hin
if the packers would do as they have will

he replies that he would stop business un
til they resumed price taking.
All over the West the complaint is tina
the price of live stock is too low and tn
price of meat too high. The cattlemen
who have been agtating for an independ
ent packing house, disclaim any idea o
running out existing houses. They sa,
they wish to create healthy demand 70
range cattle, sheep and swine, and com

feeling and great deal of the disposition
to go into the packing business on tn
part of the stock men are due to the fac
that the packers have been gradually il

VIRGINIA WINS APPEAL.

The Virginia cases, involving the valid
ity of the suffrage provision of the new
Virginia State constitution, were Monday
dismissed by the United States Supreme
Court on the ground that no relief was
possible, the acts from which relief was
sought having already been committed.
There were two cases, one being pro-
ceeding by Jones and others to secure a
writ of prohibition against the Virginia
state board of canvassers to prevent its
passing upon the returns of the election
held November "a, 1902, and the other a
proceeding IN equity by Selden and others.
Justice Brewer delivered the opinion of
the court He did not enter into the
merits of the case, but confined himself
to the impracticability of the granting of
relief. He said:
THE prayer of the petitioners specifical
ly is to restrain the canvas of the returns
of the election of November 4, 1902. Even
the general clause at the close of the
prayer is, for such other and further or
ders in the premises as shall and may
make the prayer of your petitioners eff
fectual'
But, as shown by affidavit, apd as, in
deed, we might perhaps take judicial no.
tice by the presence in the House of Rep
resentative of the individuals elected at
that election from the various Congress
sional districts of Virginia, the thing
sought to be prohibited has been done,
and cannot be undone by any order of
the court The canvass has been made,
certificates of election have been issued,
the House of Representatives, which is
the sole judge of the qualifications of its
members, has admitted the parties hold
ing the certificates to seats in that body,
and any adjudication which this court
might make would be only an ineffec-
tual decision of the question whether or
not these petitioners were wronged by
what has been fully accomplished. Under
these circumstances, there is nothing but
moot case remaining, and the motion to
dismiss must be sustained"
The equity case was dismissed On the
same ground as the prohibition case.

MIR. COWEN'S DEATH.


John K. Cowen, while just emerging
from the great achievement of rehabil-
tating, in association with Mr.. Oscar
G. Murray, who is now president OF
the road, the ruined fortunes of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Compa-
ny, was regarded at that time by those
near him as the prelude to his final
dissolution, says the Baltimore (Sun,)
Mr.. Cowen was in every respect a
great citizen of Maryland, the State
of his adoption. 1t was here that he
found scope for the exercise OF his
large powers of mind and endeared
himself to his fellow citizens by the
steady and persistent advocacy OF
right principles in city, State and not
ional affairs under Republican form of
government. He was sound in poll
tics; be was safe in business counsels
with his clients; He was broad and
brilliant on the rostrum; be was pa
tient and untiring in all the large
affairs int1usted to him, and when the
great business corporation with which
lis name will long be associated was
in sore straits those conversant with
it's affairs found no one to turn to more
competent to re- establish it on a sound
basis than Mr.. Cowen. This work was
colossal, and the reaction from it,
brought on by disappointment, natur-
al under the circumstances, was well
calculated to crush the spirit Of the
bravest.
Mr.. Cowen was ambitious in right
and legitimate directions. He labored
in pushing the Baltimore and Ohio
trunk line to New York with the pa
thence of a schoolmaster and surmount-
ed every obstacle that industrious self
interests put in his way. From be-
ginning to end his connection with this
single interest was one of constant
combat-on the hastings, in the courts
in the banking houses and elsewhere
and every where he achieved successes
far more important in the main than
have fallen to the lot of any other fig.
urant in our State history in recent
years.
Necessarily the magnitude of his
work on these lines is known TO CON-
paratively few, hut ali bear ready tes-
timony to the great combination of in
tellectual qualities needed to bring
about success. The many know Mr..
Cowen bes. for the part be took with
such brilliant effect on the hastings
His speeches were constant delight
to thousands of followers, who needed
just such direction as be was able to
give in bringing about better condi-
tions in the management of public az
fairs. A profound lawyer and capa-
BILE of adjoining his speeches with the
flowers Of riIe scholarship, he was an
ornament to the bar of Maryland,
entitled to have his name on the list
beside the best of those who have gone
before him. His untimely death, for
he was not quite 60 years of age, is a
loss to the whole State of Maryland.

 The Mexicans story is that he came to work on the section. and as he had no money could not buy food. but was given little flour by the boss. The flour did not last long. and when it came time to go 10 work the Mexican said he was hungry, and would not go to work until he had something to eat. At that Harris pitched into him and beat him over the head with an iron bar that had a washer on the end of it. The iron cut big gash in the Mexican's head. Harris said that the Mexican began the fight, and that he hit the hombre in self defense.
