The Passing Of the Range.

According the Fort Pierre Stock
Journal a new condition has arisen
in the cattle trade, which will tend to
the cattle ranges in every district
where climatic and soil conditions per-
nit Of successful agriculture. There
have, Of course, been many other
forces tending to that end and to the
eventual abolition Of cattle-raising in
the west after the old range methods.
The Stock journal says the demand
of the cattle buyers: of late years has
been, for the rapidly sfattened 2-year-
old instead of for, the. 3sor 47year-old
steer. This the Journal says, means
thatzsthe cattle man must raise corn
and fodder Z crops on or near the
ranges. He must actually raise these
crops himself or get them from a near
neighbour who does. This will break
down the barrier between the rancher
and the cattle man, and that in itself
will cause a. heavy increase in the
number Of farms and farmers in the
old cattle country. It is well known
that until the recent heavy pressure
for cheap land began, the cattlemen,
either by intimidation or by spreading
false reports as to agricultural posi-
bilities, kept back the settlement OF
considerable areas on the border OF
the arid country.
The change from the raising OF
lcattle on great ranges to that of rails
ing them on farms. or on small ranges
will be good one for the western
states. It means more cattle and bet
ter cattle, and it means a larger pop
ulation and a more even distribution
of wealth.

JUSTICES WANT TO RUN
W. S. STOKES AND w. C. FULLER
 FILE PETITIONS.
They Deny Legality of New Law and Ask Judge Gaston to Put Their Names on Omcial.
 Ballot.

Probate Judge J. B. Gaston of Mont gomery County yesterday denied the petition of W. s. Stokes and W. c. Full Ter to have their names placed on the official ballot to be used in the Novem- Der general election, as candidates for Justices of the Peace for Beats Two and Three respectively.
 Justices Stokes and Fuller imme- diately applied to Judge T. s. Sayre of the Circuit Court for a writ of man. damus directed to Judge Gaston com polling him to place their names on the ballot. Judge Sayre has the ap- plication under consideration.
 The contention of Justices Stokes and Fuller who were defeated for the Democratic nominations in April by &. H. Beasley and B. C. Tarver respective ly, is that the law enacted by the last legislature providing for but one Justice of the Peace in the city beats of Montgomery Is unconstitutional and that, as two justices should be elected. they have a right to become candidates.
 The petitions filed with Judge Gaston by Justices Stokes and Fuller, who have served in the office some time, are accompanied by requests signed by more than twenty-five electors of the
 
 dates and asking that their names be printed on the official ballot. In the petition Judge Gaston Is asked to have printed opposite the names of candi- dates for Justice of the Peace the words Vote for two" instead of the werds "Vote for me" provided by the new law.
 Prior to the enactment of this new law each city beat of Montgomery was entitled to two Justices of the Peace. With the reorganization of the courts of the county, by the last legislature, 1t was provided that but one Justice of the Peace be allowed for each city beat, the country beats remaining as they had been with two justices.
 Judge Gaston denied the petition on the ground that the law was valid and that the Democratic party having nominated its candidates, the names of Justices Stokes and Fuller could not be placed on the ticket as Democrats.
 Judge Sayre may render a decision today as to the petition for a writ of mandamus.

Washington. Sept 2s-Presidcnt Roosevelt is in receipt of d letter from General Luke F. Wright, Governor cf the Philippines. in which the Governor discusses frankly some of the condi- ttons which he encounters in directing the government of the islands. Uni r date of August 26 General Wright wrote in part:
 The effect of the continued discus sion as to the capacity or the Filipino for self fgovernment and his immediate prospects for ultimate indepe nden e. Is having its effect here and make our task more difficult than it otherwise would be. The less man is equipped with intelligence and those qualities which make for good Citizc lship. the mora easily can he be persuaded that he is the possessor of all these quail ties. These people have their full share of ambition and vanity and they also have their full share of reckless. half-formed characters who are ready for intrigue in any direction which promises them profit or power. r. .s this class which has largely given force and direction to the Aglipayau movement and has recruited its ranks from the ignorant and dangerous cle- ments.
