Heavy Marketing of Cattle.

When a few weeks ago the western
states suffered from severe drought
covering practically the entire range of
the cattle-breeding country from which
the United States derives its meat sup
ply. the fear was expressed that the
result would be a later scarcity In beef
stock. dispatch from Kansas City,
printed Sunday. indicates that this fear
is well founded. and that the country
is likely to suffer seriously from a de-
ficiency In meat supplies. During the
past week over $4,000 head of cattle
were received at Kansas City. this
being within about ESQ head Of the
worlds record of cattle receipts. es-
tablished at Chicago twenty-five years
ago. This tremendous movement Of
cattle is due directly to the scarcity of
pasture and corn. The grazers cannot
carry through the winter their usual
number of animals, for feed is certain
TO be high during the next few months
Consequently they are shipping their
herds TO the live stock markets now, to
get what prices they can command for
their animals before the high cost of
feeding is felt. This heavy shipment
may make for somewhat lower meat
prices Immediately. but the subsequent
effect cannot fail to be disastrous. In a
great many cases the grazers are send

House Methods and Practices.

without power or opportunity of any
kind respecting legislation, and might as

as Il. Reed, revised its methods and prac-
tees The Job was accomplished with
difficulty, but it was thorough, and so
well done that the work in the main
was adopted by tho democrats when
they came in.
The complaint at that time was that
the minority was too powerful: that IL
could halt business almost at its pleas
urc and force terms on the majority.
Speaker Reed held that the majority
was there 10 do business and being
charged with the responsibility for bust
ness. should be able at any time to clear
the path for business. The Reed rules
corrected the trouble complained of.
\ few years ago an outcry arose
against what was called "Cannonism.
MI. Cannon was Speaker administering
tire Reed rules, and II was complained
that thoy made him the master of the
House: that through appointing the conf
lnittees and serving himself on the COM
mittee on rules he could do, and did. as
he liked about retarding or advancing
measures. Ii was urged that the Speak
er should be stripped of that authority.
The democrats played up the charge
successfully, promised reform. and partly
on tine strength of the promise carried
the House in 1910.
They kept their promise, and deprived
the Speaker of the power to name the
committees and of his place on the rules
committee. Mr.. Clark vino would have
organized the House fairly and been
valuable member of the rules committee

The right to descend to the floor and par

Eut did that change produce what the
democrats had promised? The answer

and so far in the record of this The
majority is as completely the master of
the situation as ever. Authority has
simply been transferred from the chair
To the floor. Through the committee on

Ii might be a good thing-it would

rules were promulgated. Maybe 1t is

might in turn precipitate a general con-


flict.
When Japan struck at China nineteen
years ago, regarding the suzerainty over
Korea. she met a weak giant, Incapable
Of defending itself. The campaign OF
1894 was a revelation to those who were
inclined TO Judge military strength solely
or chiefly In terms Of AREA and popula-
ton. Japan proved China's superior In
every respect making for war mastery,
and her subdual demonstrated that q YER
table power had developed In the far east.
But during these two decades much has
occurred in China, and the China Of today
Is not that Of the nineties The Boxer re-
volt brought about one read3ustment.
The palace revolution and subsequent re-
action advanced China by a singular proc
ess nearer to modern methods. Finally
came the recent revolution. the establish
ment OF republic and the later trouble
between the geographical factions, and
all these events have produced closer
semblance to a true nation Of Cinnamon
than has ever been known before
Yet, divided az 1t Is today, China may
be in no position to meet any advance
Japan may make in retribution for the
wrongs and insults suffered at Marking
There is jealousy in every part of the
government and there is much treachery.
The Cinnamon have not yet learned 10y
atty to the state central. while animated
by an intense loyalty TO the state i'm
mediate. They are still, as compared
with the Japanese an unlimited mass,
which cannot be moved in any one direc
ton save by appeal to the old barbaric
hatredS This does not make for eff
cheney, for II does not yield the basis for
military discipline. AS horde the
Chinese. even In their more advanced
state of today. would be comparatively
easy for the well trained. highly disci-
plined and efficient Japanese. fired by
the prospect of a continental extension
and burning with the sense of ancient
wrongs. a lamentable spectacle would
be presented If these two peoples fell
To fighting.

Two Tariff Conferences.

The tariff conference has begun, with
the best of feeling existing between
the House and the Senate democrats.
Mr.. Underwood and Mr. Simmons have
congratulated each other. and the
President has congratulated both, on
the near approach of the final vote. 4
new tariff law will soon be on the
books.
As the conference proceeds there may
be some earnest exchanges over this
or that Senate amendment, but prob
| ably none of an angry character. In
many instances the Senate has low
cred the House rates, and contro-
yersies will thus be confined largely
to the amount of revenue to be raised.
There are practically no differences
to be adjusted about the general prin-
ciples of taxation.
1t Is likely. as The Star predicted the
other day, that the House will yield
in large number of the cases. The
Sepates majority is so small it can be
quoted very effectively by the Senate
conferees as reason why the work
which has required four months should
mot now be changed. Practically. there
fore. as twenty years ago, the Sen
ate will have its way.
But in no other particular does this
conference resemble that of the earlier
day. Then the House conferees, with
! the President supporting them, were
at daggers drawn with the Senate con-
ferees. and war was on. Mr. Cleve-
land had denounced the Senate's work
as showing "perfidy and dishonor," and
Mr.. German had denounced Mr. Cleve-
land in open Senate in terms so strong
he had. through a feeling of good
taste. softened them for the Congress
sional Record.
The Senate won. II was put up to the
House to say whether the result should
be the Senate bill or no bill, and the
House surrendered.
And so did Mr.. Cleveland With the
veto power at his command, he yet
permitted the measure he had so Of
fensively denounced to become a law
without his signature, but tried to
break the force of his action by the
following formal announcement:
Il take my place with rank and file
Of the democratic party who believe
I'm tariff reform. and who know what
1t il, who refuse TO accept the result
embodied in this bill as the close of
the war, who are not blinded to the
fact that the livery of democratic
tariff reform has been stolen and
worn In the service of republican pro-
lection, and who have marked the
places where the deadly blight of trea-
son has blasted the counsels of the
brave in their hour of light"
But the announcement did not save
its author. His power waned from that
time, and In two years vanished alto
sether He was never a force in active
politics again.
Today the contest Is over compare

President. in announcing his views. ex
