ROBERT GOOD , Editor and Publisher
The World-Herald thinks an } ' sized
standing army will be too big if Alger
R to remain at the head of it. Good
sense , that.
The peace treaty has been ratified by
the U. S. Senate , and novr the query is
being propounded : "Are the Filipinos
citizens of the United States , or are
they subjects ? Query No. 2 : Can the
United States have a ' 'subject ? ' '
This paper is a standing advertise
ment of northwest Nebraska , especially
Cherry . county , and when a copy
reaches a new town it is passed from
hand to hand until everybody knows
of us our paper , our people , and our
stock industry.
Burloigh , of the Star-Journal , has
dropped his standing editorial "This is
a republican year,1'and is demanding
that people pay their tuxes. No repub
lican dare plead "hard times" as an
excuse for not paying up , even though
we are still engaged in licking revenue
stamps
If this legislature doesn't ass a reso
lution in favor of electing U.S. Senators
by a direct vote of the people we will
bo much disappointed. The legisla
tors now assembled in Lincoln are al
most unanimously in favor of such
method , and the people of the state are
practically a unit on the subject.
The stand which Representative
Fisher has taken was a disappointment
to his friends among the.republicans in
Clmdron. The comments of a few of
the losal republicans who first saw the
bulletin announcing Msher's change to
Thompson indicates the fooling of the
party in this section. Chadron Journal
A bill to reapportion the legislative
districts of the state has been intro
duced in the house. If passed it will
give Cherry , Sheridan and l > awes
counties one representative each , aud
the counties of Rock , Brown and Key a
Paha will be cut off this sanatoria I dis
trict. Keya 1 aha will be attached to
Holt and 13oyd , and the three allowed
tvro representatives.
The Rushville Recorder supported
Fisher for representative , but now
comes out and says he does not repre
sent. The Recorder is evidently dis
gusted with republicans and their prin
ciples , and declares "the election of
senator should be taken out of the
hands of the present managers and
turned over to the people. " Right you
are , Bro. Cooper , but why not lend
these sentiments your support election
time ? Remember it is two years be
fore we elect another legislative ticket.
Chadron republicans seem to be
eternally engaged in factional fights ,
and now that the postoffice question
has been settled they are pulling hair
over Fisher's course in yoting for
Thompson. The party is dividing into
two camps , but after the war is over
they will all kiss and make up. This
is one peculiarity of the republicans ; no
matter heir they hate , despise or try to
kill one of their men , thev alwavs line
/ * >
up after the war is over. Witness the
crawfish act of the anti-Eckles forces
since Eckles was appointed postmaster.
What sense is there in quoting to the
McKinlev expansionists tho.se old ob
solete words of the Declaration of In
dependence , "Al just governments
derive their powers from the consent
of the governed. " Tiiey don't believe
it. Their success in ' 98 Wits socure.l
through a suppression and denial of
this consent. Men were driven to the
polls and forced to vote the republican
ticket or lose thnir jobs , while others
were frightened by the threat of ruin
to the country if the demands of the
Ickleheimers were not complied with.
It is out of reason to suppose that these
imperialists will apply this principle to
the Philippines when they have no respect - i
!
spect for it here at home. O'Xeill In- '
dependent.
Hostilities between insurgents and i
the American troops broke out at Manila - ;
nila last Sunday in which 20 Americans i
were killed and 125 wounded ; the insurgent -
surgent loss being much heavier. W. i
J. Bryan in speaking of this engage- i
mtnt. sa > s : "The engagement is to be :
deplored , but it does not change the i
situation. Forcible annexation is not
a peaceful process. If we enter upon i
a career of conquest wo must expect
bloodshed. A resolution promising independence -
dependence to the Philippines would
probably prevent further trouble , and I
hope that such a resolution will be
passed. The Philippine question is a
grave one , bui we can trust the intelli
gence and patriotism of the people to
solve it aright. Until the nation's
policy is finally determined our soldiers
may be depended upon to defend
American interests at any cost. " .

Every stockman who can possibly
got away from homo for a day or two
should attend the meeting of the
Farmers and Stockmen's Institute in
this city next week. Dr. A. T. Peters
will talk on blackleg , and as he is a
specialist in this line all should hear
him.
The time is coming when every acre
of land in Sheridan county will be
taken up for cattle or sheep , and those
of our people who are looking to the
future will do well to get their land in
sucu shape as to buy other quarters
near it while it is cheap. We have had
several inquiries the past year for land ,
and we bel eve the coming year will
see a distinct move from east tovest. .
Rushville Recorder.
A large body of men rode up to the
ranch of .John Swanson , nerr Rawlins
recently , and after threatening to kill
Mr. Swanson , ordered him to move his
bunch of sheep from his own land and
ranch. Warr nts were issued for three
men whom ho recognized and Sheriff
MeDaniel armed with the requisite
papers , has left for the see'ie of the
trouble. This is the .second raid within
a month and the authorities are de
termined to bring the guilty parties to
justice. Northwestern Stockman.
The National Live Stock Association
passed resolutions as follows : "En
dorsing the work of the agricultural
department in the grass and forage investigation
vostigation and urging that $10OOU be
appropriated by the government to
carry on the work ; instructing Presi
dent Springer to a k President JNIc-
Kinley to issue an executive order giv
ing the Cdttlo of the United States
preference in the Cuban trade , as a
benefit no less to the Cubans than to
the Americans , and to urge congress
to take similar action when laws are
made for the government of Cuba. "
While the exports of cattle from this
country are stilted in figures that con-
v-jy some idea to the mind , the exports
of meat , figured in pounds , are beyond
the comprehension of most of us For
instance , what idea do the figures
2,152,803,962 convey ? This is the
number of pounds of beef and pork
products exported during 1803 , and it
is an increase of 291,253,222 pounds as
compared with 1897. The exports of
beef products amounted to 457,478,367
pounds and of hog products 1,095,3 5- ,
289 pounds. It is the largest year's
exports of moat products in the history
of the country , and the value of cattle
and hogs and of their products e < -
ported is about $ lS2Oi)0,000. )
o
The Burlington iv.ilroad has the fol
lowing to say of the gradual change in
methods of farming in western Xebras-
ka : ' 'There are scores of men in west
ern Nebraska- Frontier , Red Wil
low , ilayes , Hitchcock , Chase and
Dundv counties who are making mon
ey hand over fist raising cattle. These
same men tried to get rich raising corn
and selling it to the grain dealer They
failed. Fortunately , they saw their
mistake , changed their methods , and
went in for cattle and hogs. They
raise less corn and more millet and
sorghum. They feed what they raise
to their stock. Today they have mon
ey enough to ride in palace cars and
stop at the best hotels if they want to. "
L. II. Kernck , of McLean county ,
Illinois , had the best cattle that came
on the Chicago market this week.
The , ' were splendid Polled Angus
steers , numbering sixteen head , and
they brought $6.30 per 100 pounds ,
their average weight being 1,460 pounds.
The good advance that has taken
place in prices for beef cattle has
caused a similar advance in feedersand
there is a very good demand at the
present time for good steers to fatten.
The present inquiry is very largely for
steers that weigh from 800 up to 1,000
pounds , and a good many lots are taken
thnt weigh on an average of 1,100
pounds , and even more Early in the
season light weight stock cattle were
the favorite sellers , but the present in
quiry is for larger cattle of good quality
to put on corn. Farmers , as a rule ,
are buying a better class of cattle to
fatten than in recent years , as they
find I from experience that it pays better
to give it a little more and .thereby get
a better grade to start with. All the
surrounding country is buying , the
shipments being made to Illinois ,
Indiana , Ohio and Iowa. Prime feed
ers now sell at $4.60 to $4.82 } per 100
pounds.
A well known sheep seller snid to
the writer a day or two ago : "There
is no danger of a mutton famine for
many months to come. Something
like 600,000 sheep and lambs are now
feeding in the state of Minnesota alone.
I'hen there are fully 400,0 .0 head that
are being fattened in the state of Colorado
rado , a big share consisting of Mexican
lambs around Fort Collins. National
