WAR TALK IS RIDICULOUS.
only Tends to Embnrrnso Governments.
SAY Japruese Lenders.

Toxic. May 1s.-.Fa.th in the American
people to see that justice is done the
Japanese ~ the dominating note in the
discussion of the California alien land
ownership legislation. War talk Is de-
nounced as ridiculous and only calculated
to embarrass the governments which arc
iaboring for peaceful settlement by
diplomacy.
1t is conceded, however, that failure on
the part OF the Americana to respond to
the Japanese appeal for discontinuance
Of the alleged discrimination would be H.
able to lead to some enlargement II the
peoples. The Japanese public generally is
convinced that tho land bill Is racial
and not an economic measure, and hcno
n blow to national pr,dc, and they fcol
that the world must be taught tho neccs-
sty of equal treatment for the whites
and non whitet.
The TOXIC newspapers praise President
Wilson'S endeavor to preserve the trad-
tionai friendship and they recognize the
difficulties which confront the President
OF the United States in the confusing con.
flict between State and federal rights
The Joint celebration of the japanese
and American Peace societies to-day was
attended w I,GN Japanese. Speeches were
made by Count Okuma, former minister
of foreign affairs, Baron Yoshiro Saka-
TAM. mayor OF Toxic, and Tsunejiro Mtya-
Okla. who was councillor OF the Japanese
embassy at Washington In 1906 All q:
the speakers endeavored 70 clarity che ST
uation. and decred lingoism.
Count Okuma was loudly applauded
when nc compared the attitude of the
California legislators with the anti-for-
elgn movement in Japan half century
ago. which ne looked upon as an abased
race preiudice.

KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI,
LIVE STOCK MARKET.
Demand for Cattle of all Kind
Strong Hogs and Sheep Hold
ing their Own.

Kansas City Stock Yards, July 26,-
After grass cattle begin to run tol
market in the summer and fall there is
a natural expansion in the demand that
absorbs the increasing supply without
any radical effect on prices. This
season there promises to be better
demand from all sources than usual.
Commission men believe the low time
has been passed on stock cattle and
feeders at Kansas city, judging from
the large number of inquiries received
here, respecting prospects for cattle
this fall, from Illinois, Iowa and other
sections. Those parts of Arkansas
located in the free area may, of course
ship their cattle to the native division
at Kansas City, and geta chance there
to sell to country buyers.
Cattle from Green Forest sold here
this week to country buyers, stock
steers, 75s pounds. at $6.25. others
weighing 53s pounds at $5.25, and stock
COWS, 7s3 pounds, at s4.75. Cattle from
below the tick line in Arkansas and
Louisiana, which sell in the Southern
| Division here, will also receive benefit
from the heavy country demand, which
leaves fewer cattle for the killers than
in an ordinary season. Four cars of
steers from DeRidder, La, sold here
Monday in the Southern division at
$565, weighing 1888 pounds. These
cattle were produced with minimum
efforts and expense. Cows and heifers
from Cotter, Arkansas, sold at $500 and
$50S, respectively, same day, and
others from Pyatt, Arkansas brought
sl.Ss Hog prices are holding up well
and seem to be safely entreached, with
bulk selling around $500. Some light
hogs from Green Forest sold here
THURSDAY 1885, averaging 146 pounds.
Sheep markets change frequently and
violently, though prices are higher this
week. Some so pound Arkansas spring
lambs sold here Thursday at s5.25 and
stock ewes in the shipment brought
s3.2s, weighing 70 pounds. Prime
lambs sen up 10 SITS.

GOV. HALL BEGINS

ager and managing editor, Saturday
were made defendants in sohdo in
suit filed in the civil district court by
Luther E. Hall, governor of Louisiana,
in which 100000 is asked.
The action grows out of an article
that appeared in the Daily States Of
July 16, in reference to the Tensas
Levee Board land matter and an ed.
itorial dealing with the same subject
appearing July II.
In an interview following the fling
OF the suit, Gov. Hall said:
II have endured in silence this cam.
paign of vilification, waiting to see
how far these Slanderers would dare to
go. The situation now, however has
become intolerable. A condition has
grown up in Louisiana where a man
cannot attempt to hold public Office
and do anything for the state without
being subjected TO a TRADE of vicious
faisehood and abuse by gang of po
litical bandits banded together fol-
selfish purposes.
During my campaign for the gov
ernorship l was assailed in the mos
vicious way with the vilest sort OF
falsehoodS relating to my persona
concerns and impunging my persona
character. Not caring to stop nay

libel actions at that time. My election
to office after this tempest of abus,
was vindieation at the hands of tn,
electorate, and having been elected
was charitable enough to charge tn
SANDERS to the effect of the heat of th
conflict upon the more vicious and il
responsible minds engaging in it. So
let it 60 at that.

know how to stop 1t, and stop it auicl
