It is a standing claim with imperial
ists that the "aunties" as they rail
people who don't believe as they do ,
have never offered any solution of the
Philippine q.iestion , yet the following
resolution was offered in the United
States senate last winter and was de
feated only by the vote of the vice
president :
Resolved , That the United States
hereby disclaim any disposition or in
tention to exercise permanent sovereignty
eignty , jurisdiction or control over said
islands , and assert their determination ,
when a stable and independent govern
ment shall have been erected therein ,
entitled in the judgment of the govern
ment of the United States to recogni
tion as such , to transfer to said govern
ment , upon terms which shall be
reasonable and just , all rights secured
under the cession of Spain , and to
thereupon leave the government and
control of the islands to their people.
Rather than give this crumb of com
fort to the Filipinos the administration
made war upon them , and now accord
ing to press dispatches peace will be
made under terms almost identical
with this resolution.
We always thought the pop chronic
kickers were simpletons , and when
the benighted papers of that benighted
party ask with all due solemnity ,
what is all this war for , "What are
we lighting the Filipinos for , " it's a
lear case of confession. A pop can
never see a principle unless it has a
pop brand. liushville Recorder.
Will the esteemed Recorder please
elucidate the "principle" are fight
ing for ? As a general thing anything
bearing the administration brand is
supported by papers like the Recorder ,
regardless of whether it is a prinsiple
or a lack of principle.

The Denver Daily Stockman says
that some Texas cattle growers are ar
ranging to send young cattle to north
ern ranges to ba oared for by northern
'eeders just as though the northern
man had bought them. When they
are sold the feeder and shipper divide
he profits equally , the Texas grower
first getting the ruling price at the >
time the cattle were shipped.
It is a wed thing for stockmen of
both 1 section * lhat the Texas and northwestern
1i
western cattlemen are getting closer
1C together 1 in prices. There is u great '
scarcity of o-j'ear old cuttle , a fair
number of 2's and a big crop of year
lings. 1 This indicates cam para tively
moderate marketing of heavy cattle '
later 1t in the year and larger supplies in i
the future.Drover's Journal. >
An Iowa man , who has recently
trveled extensively in the west , says
there will be a great shortage of range
cattle to send to market this vear .
There are not many young cattle or
breeding animals , and owners of herds
on the ranges do not know where they
can get sufficient young cattle to stock
the ranges without giving up all
chances of profits. If this does not
prove to be a good year for summer-fed
cattle , the Iowa man , who is a veteran
feeder , says he will miss his guess very
badly.
One thousand head of young cattle
have been ferried across the river at
Pierre and placed on the range this
spring , while as niany more have been
left on the east side of the river. A
number of others were brought in and
crossed before the ice Trent out , and
while there has been no great rush of
cattle at any one time , the shipments
hav e been steady during the past
month , and the aggregate has been
well up to 3.000. Shipments will be
much heavier from this time on.
Northwestern Stockman.
In Texas the percentage of loss from
blackleg is probably not known by any
one , but it is known that , as in Kan
sas , its ravages are increasing in spite
of all the immunity which preventv !
vaccination has effected , and beyond
question it has effected very much.
The fact that an incurable disease is
steadily gaining ground presents to the
men interested in the cattle industry a
very grave situation which the } ' must
sooner or later take into serious account.
That their losses are increasing every
year should certainly indicate that
there should be a prompt , general and
energetic action ; o remove the cause.
The disease must be stamped out en
tirely , anl the sooner the effort is made
the more easy and certain is it to be
successful.
An unpleasant feature in our export
beef trade is the falling off in the shipj j
ments. There has been a decrease j \
every month since July last , as com
pared with the corresponding months
of the previous year. From July , 1897 ,
to March , 1898 , the total shipments of
live cattle were 317,447 ; for the corresponding - j
pending nine mouths , ending April 1st j z
of this year , they were but 226,680. j t
The increasing competition of Argentine - e
tine and Australia is said to be at the
bottom of the decrease. The dressed
beef trade , which amounted to oBOS3 ,
tons in 1890 and to 75,890 tons in IS'jS ,
is larger in the last named year than in
1897 but not quite so large as in 1890.
Australia and New Zealand are pushing - j
ing ahead in this branch of the trade ,
also. Their exports in 1890 were 34- ,
739 tons ; in 1898 they were 83 , 31 tons.
