Live Stock Market.

KANSAS CRY, Dec. Is, 1905
Cattle supplies this week amount
to Al 800 head, and there is small
net change in prices. Beef steers
were draggy the first days of the
week, but have sold better since
Wednesday, stockers and feeders
sold higher first of the week, but
have been sighted since, and cows
and heifers have sold strong all the
time, closing 10 to 20 cents above
end of last week. Every winter
there is a shortage of butcher stuff,
and it is already beginning to be
felt this season. Shipments direct
from the range were much smaller
than in recent weeks, but fairly
liberal for the season, and Colorado
feeders sold at the highest figures
reached this fall, several lots at
$4.65 to $4 80, other range stockers
and feeders from 1926 to $40.
Range beef steers generally lacked
quality, although few reached
$500, but bulk sold at $3.50 to
$4.65, heavy cows and good heifers
$500 to $3.50, bulls are under
1886, light COWS and Gamers 1925
to $3.50. Prospects favor lighter
supply next week, without much
change in prices till after the
holidays.
The sheep market was the scene
of a sensational break this week
after reaching the top notch of the
season Monday and Tuesday. For

Indications are that there is large darkey in the woodpile in connection with the building in England of sew eraI large battleships. ostensibly for Brazil If these ships are really in tended for the latter country their &C., ouisition by it will tend to promote jealousy and envy among some of the other South American Republics. The possession of three or four of the most powerful of modern war ships will inevitably he looked on as menace to the weaker countries, and they might form a combination to curb the power of Brazil for their own safety.
 But, as The Pittsburg Post notes. there is another side to the question. The current issue of The Literary Dl gest quotes authorities to the effect that England will never permit these naval monsters to go out of her con- trol. It is hinted that the whole en- terprIse may be a clever daring ef fort by interruptions jingoes in ca hoots with shipbuilders, to dragoon England into buying some more ships which in the regular way she would balk against. It would appear, too. that even if Brazil does finally take the vessels. the demand for them has been artihcially stimulated by the iu- terests financial and manufacturing, which will profit largely by renewed activity all over the world in building such craft The shipbuilders and the money loaners of the world are much

 apathy and universal contentment Not since 1896 has there been more political dissatisfaction with conditions as they are" The causes are not the same every where: the manifestations are not the same Everywhere: but what is called apa- thy in the campaign Is only the blind grop- means of expressing their dissatisfaction, or the silent evidence of their disappoint- ment in failing thus far to find such means.

A pREApFuL LESSON.

The National Forest Association has just issued the following:
 The disastreus floods now. raging throughout the South. with their ap. pailing damage to numan lives and to property is a striking though la-l mentable and costly lesson With the torrential rainfall In the Piedmont sne Appalachian Mountain region, coupled with the criminal deforestaticn of the mountain sides throughout this section at the headwaters of cur Southern
 oods can no ,. otns, ass and this dition. as bad as 1t Is. must steadily grow worse and increasingly more damaging until our people return to sanity in their treatment of the for ests. It proves as no other lesson can. the need of the forest covering and bears eloquent testimony to what few patriots in the country are preach ing day in and day out. that our forests are absolutely essential to the nations life and must be preserved. if these woeful conditions and losses are to be prevented.
 As we all know experience Is a dear school. and sometimes It's lessons are only learned through incalculable loss and suffering. The recent disastrous floods have cost many lives, and the money loss will go far into the mill Hons. As the above article reasons, these and like disasters will not only continue. but are bound to Increase in extent and intensity unless the only method by which they can be pre- vented Is adopted. and that Is through forest preservation and reforestation. What has happened and win continue to happen Is perfectly natural result of mans short-sightedness and care lessness as to the future. The denud- ation of the land. especially on the hill and mountain sides brings on floods and drouths. There is no escap- ing from this conclusion. for 1t is ap- parent to all who care to read of cur rent events.
 The effort to create the Appalachian Reserve was step In the right direc- tion. and 1t would doubtless have gone through Congress if 1t had not been for the opposition of Speaker Cannon. who was able to block all legislation looking to what would have been at least a beginning. Those who were chiefly to blame for forest destruc- tion may not be made to suffer for their work but the present and fu- ture generations will be responsible for any failure to remedy the evil that has been done. so far as a remedy is humanly possible.

TT coMpLArNErH,

Some good-natured remarks we made the other day about The Charlotte ob- servers hen and gander contribution to the Democratic campaign fund evil dentiy rubbed that esteemed contem- porary's sensibilities in the wrong place or in the wrong direction. We suspect the paper got more free ads vertising on account of it's contribu- ton that 1t cared for. There Is such q thing as getting more than one wants.
 In justice to a well beloved con- temporary. we republish it's tender wall. "The Advertiser" 1t says. "is duly notified that 1t harbors a very unworthy suspicion in the suggestion that The Observer had any thought of bidding for fame in this matter. It had an honest heart in making the contribution to the Bryan fund and made it through The News and Cour- fer only because that paper was form erIy 6 friend or professed to be. and we felt sorry for 1t because 1t had screamed for contributions for a week without having raised a dollar. So far as the Charleston paper is con cerned. 1t Is disrespectfuIly reminded. while claiming for itself the honor of being "the real manager of the Gander and Hen" that If 1t had not been for The Observer there would have been no Gander and Hen. Because the pub lie, including Col. Philip H. Gadsden, understands this. The News and Cour- fer is mad; that's what's the matter with 1t; and along with applying op- probious names to our fowls, now pro- ceeds to insult us openly by accusing us of having embedded s4 which 1t says Mir. Geo. B. Anderson contributed through us to the fund and which we have misapplied. wherefore, for these and many other reasons which could be stated we wash our hands of that esteemed contemporary and shall speak to 1t no more-at least for the pres ent Its only proper association Is with the tight wads among whom 1t has its habitat"

rHr REcrsrrR,s rnApE EDITION.

The Trade Edition of The Mobile Register. issued on September 1, H. illustrates The Registers well known characteristic of thoroaghness. The edition was the produ.s of continued labor. energy and thoroughuess. and. coming in the form 1t does and in the time it does. it is an excellent advo- cate of Mobiles prospetity.
 The edition represents in Mobile an industrial condition that is notable in Montgomery--the panic of the past year but slightly affected tho build ing Improvements and real estate ad- vancess That Mobile for the past four years has sustained a remarkable growth is well known throughout Ala bama. The Trade Edition of The Heg. ister carries it's own proof that in the face of hard times the growth has continued and that Mobile has not been turned away from It's destiny of becoming great seaport and great commercial center with the building of the Panama Canal. It is no doubt possible to advance as one reason for Mobiles swift development in recent years the construction of the canal and its destined influence for prosper ity on the Gulf cities.
 The fine article dealing with the New Battle House. & splendid hotel structure. which is to be opened in the next two months. Is one that is read with special interest in all quarters of the State. The old hotel in other days was something like a State institu- ton. It's interesting history is print ed in The Register. togethee with the account of the building of the hand some new structure which is to be one of the finest hotel buildings in the South.
 Mobile in the past few years has in- stalled large and costly municipal im- provements and what the city has done for it's people is well presented in the Trade Edition.s
 The Trade Edition is well worthy of The Register.

'sThere Is this to be said for Tom aisgen," remarks The New Haven Reg. ister, 'he Is the only logical. the only personally sincere trust-buster before the country. Mir. Bryan is himself a trust; the rest of them are talking theory. But Hisgen has felt the iron heel of the real oppressor. and speaks from the heart. But to be consistent in his onslaught on the trust. his first attention should be to W. R. Hearst, the worst trust ever" Well if Hearst will open his barrel wide enough per haps Tom will bust him before all is done.
