New York Times.
Mr. Thomas Sturgls , of Ohoyonne.Wy-
oralng , was eoen at the Union Lcnguo
club recently by a Times reporter , who
made iuquirlos of him na to the intentions
of the cattle raisers of the plains in con
nection with their now project of leasing
the grazing lands of the pnbllo domain.
Mr. Sturgla Is probably better qualified
than other men to glvo information on
the subject , ns the plan in iti origin is
mainly his own , and his interests in
plains cattle are second to thoao of hardly
any man In the west. Ho la the president
of the Union Cattle company , which owns
? 3,000,000 worth of cattle , president ot
the Stockgrowors1 Bank of Cheyenne ,
accrotftry ot the Wyomlutj Stockgrowors'
association , which has 2,000,000 head of
cattle , representing $100,000,000 , and
secretary of the National Stockgrowora'
association.
Mr. Sturgls said that "public attention
in the east had been directed to the fact
that there is what Is termed another
Bchomo afoot by which vast tracts of
public land may bo stolon. On n patient
hearing of the merits of the proposal of
the western live atock misers , however ,
the public may doom It a fair solution of
the problem as to what ought to bo done
with these parts of our public lands which
In the existing state of agricultural
methods , can bo used for stock grazing
only the uplands and plateaus lying re
mote from streams and the arid districts
in which farmers cannot raise crops.
Montana has much farming land , but a
great deal of the Territory is fitted only
for grazing purposes. Colonies of farm
ers whoso lands will bo supplied with
water by Irrigation companies will no
doubt be established In Wyoming , yet
the area so occupied will bo small for
years to cometho remainder of the cotm-
tty bolnc ; given over to stockmen. Moro
than one-half of Colorado is stock grazing
land , while Arizona is almost entirely so ,
and Now Mexico , Utah and Idaho do not
offer to the farmer , except In compara
tively small tracts , good fanning land.
The public land of the states and territo
ries mentlonod is stocked with cattlo.
This occupancy of the govvrnmont land
by stockmen Is in one sense unlawful ,
.though not made In defiance of law. It
has boon dona without the protection of
law , yet it Is a fact of general knowl
edge , and has boon permitted
by the United States authorities.
"Tho grazing business of the plains
had its inception about 1870 , and the
men who first undertook the enterprise
did so at the risk of their lives and prop
erty , which were In danger of depreda
tions from the savage Indian tribes , and
also from the then unknown and untried
effects of the severity of the winters. The
effect of tholr enterprise has been , first ,
to create a valuable industry represented
by a large amount of taxable property ,
and , second , to prevent , by the vast
herds of cattle in a manner previously
unknown , the rlao in the prlco of beef
which would othorwlao assuredly have
taken place owing to the very rapid in
crease of our population. The suits
brought ogalnat a number of cattlemen
for fencing in public lauds have created
an impression in the east that ranchmen
generally fence In their ranches with a
view to exclude settlers taking up public
land under the homestead laws. The
truth Is that by far the largest number of
ranches are not Inclosed by fencer , andtj
ranchmen generally prefer an open range
a region without a fonco. In a major
ity of instances where largo tracts of
grazing lands have been fenced the losses
of cattle have boon such and public opin
ion so strong in their condemnation that
that the owners are voluntarily taking
down their fences , and a largo number of
them have already been removed. The
ranch owners of the plains desire to pur
sue their vocation In accordance with
law. They are not desirous of using the
grazing facilities without coat , and as a
body they are unqualifiedly In favor of
some legal method by which they can
pay an equivalent for what they re
ceive.
"Tho present action of the stock-
growers is not a movement of the rich
against the poor , nor Is It one to provout
the settler from pre-empting farming
land. By the plan wo Intend submitting
to the government stockmen now occu
pying ranges may retain logol possession
ot them during the existence of a lease ,
but under restrictions which will permit
the taking up of the satno land by farm
ers at any time under the homestead
laws , lands so taken being withdrawn
from the rental. The motive in the de
sire of the men now grazing cattle on the
plains to bo recognized by law lies In the
fact that there is danger of their
being overstocked by newcomers. These
are often men not experienced lu manag
ing the largo horda which they drive
upon a range , and not aware of Its vari
able productiveness In grass crops. The
owners of the cattle now grazing every
where on the plains and in the moun
tain parks are compelled every year to
sell a certain proportion of their herds In
eastern markets In order to prevent the
number from outgrowing subsistence.
As an illustration of this fact it was
stated in the recent cattlemen's conven
tion at St. Louis , by the loading stock-
growers of Texas , that their state Is an
nually producing 800,000 bead more cattle
tlo than its grazing lands will support ,
and that amount must bo absolutely re
moved from their ranges annually to
market.
"Tho reports of the profits of the cat
tle business have induced capitalists , and
especially foreign financiers , to form
companies with a view of handling enor
mous herds on the plains , and , the land
being free to all , they are sending cattle
upon many ranges In such numbers as to
expose a largo proportion of the animals
of the region to the risk of death by star
vation to the certainty of it in tbo case
of a short grass crop and n severe winter.
For instance , 125,000 head of cattle have
during the past season been driven upon
the range lying between thoNorth Platte
and Fowder riven , west of FortLaramlo ,
in Wyoming territory. As a consequence
much of the land Is as devoid of grus as
the streets of New York , and if the approaching
preaching winter should prove to be a
strong one , the loss In cattle by death
will bo perhaps 20 to 30 per cent of all
that graza In the region. Now , then , the
atockgrowers of the western plains pro.
pose to dak of congress a qualified lease
of the lands they occupy. The Bottled
policy of the government in diiposlng of
its lands to settlers is to transfer it to
them in small tracts. The cattlemen will
therefore not ask congrots to sell to thorn
their rangoa , and they do not took any I
change lu the hemeatoad laws. They
simply want to buy the grass which grows
on their ranges from year to year and
thus bo protected in that purchase. The
United States treasury would annually bo
S'20,000,000 to § 25,000,000 richer than It
Is if their proposal should bo acceded to.
'Tho belief that the cattle companies
are using this plan only as a moans of ob
taining government possession of the
lauds , or in order to exclude homesteads ,
or moro readily to obtain through fraudu
lent moans the title to tholands along the
streams , Is , I believe , not warranted by
facts. If the stockman leased his range
from the government would ho have any
better facilities for fraud than fit present ?
With the possession of n lease nl ways
subject to subsequent entries by actual
settlers the stock-owner would receive nil
the protection that ho could doalro. The
great temptation to endeavor to protect
himself by securing title to government
lands would bo removed , and his busi
ness could bo safely prosecuted , subject
to the gradual absorption of the lands by
farmers , without eradicating the produc
tion of stock years In advance of the cul
tivation of the land.
"Tho question of leasing grazing lands
has boon brought prominently before the
ranchman of the plains at this tlmo by
proposed legislation iu congress constltu
ting It a penal offense to place any 1m
provomont upon government land with
out obtaining a title to it. Small Im
provements auch as cabins for the pro
tection of men and corrals of an aero or
two In extent for holding cattle are
necessities of the business. Each ranch
man icquiros a dozen or moro of those
buildings lu the pursuit of his occupation
Ho cannot obtain title oven to the small
tracts under any existing law. The
government will not sell for cash and the
right to obtain title by uottlomont is
limited to two tracts not exceeding 1GO
acres each to any ono individual. To
make the establishment of such Im
provements no the ranchman needs would
constitute every atock owner n law
breaker perforce , and must inevitably
result In the opoedy rcstric-
tian of the cattle raising without
substituting therefor any equivalent
moans of earning a livelihood.1 ( The plan
proposed has been carefully considered
by the association I represent , a body of
which three-quarters of the members are
the smaller class of stockmen , owning
from 100 to 1,000 head of cattlo. It Is
believed that , if honestly carried out , the
interests of all would bo amply protoctod.
It contemplates placing in the hands of
the secretary of the interior , or some oth
er proper officer of the government , the
power to execute leases of the arid graz
ing lands upon such terms and in such
manner as it may bo determined , after a
full investigation , will equitably protect
the rights of all parties. These laws
have already boon carefully examined and
classified by a congressional commission ,
whoso labors extended over six months of
personal inspection on the ground , and
whose report is on file In the dnpartmont.
No error can , therefore , bo committed in
the character of the lands sought to bo
leased.
"Instead of special leases to individu
als or corporations , U is desired that all
the stock owners within and between cer
tain natural boundaries , as , for instance ,
largo rivers and chains of mountains ,
shall become in a body the lessees of the
grazing lands within specified limits. In
proportion to the amount of stock ho
owns , each of the ranchmen will contrib
ute toward the payment of the rental of
the entire tract. No fencing will bo
done , but each man's cattle will have
equal privileges of grazing at will over the
entire tract. A sufficiency of focd is
thereby insured to the cattle of the small
owner In a much greater degree than
conld bo done by Individual leasing , as ho
obtains the acrcugo necessary and the
freedom of range requisite for his cattle
for a much smaller sum than ho would it
ho rented an Isolated tract for the
same purpose. The ratio of
Increase being alike in all herds , small or
great , the small stock owner Is protected
equally with the larger as to his future
production. The total number of head
of cattle which may bo grazed witb'ln
that section with these Interested will
consequently bo limited by mutual agree
ment to the number which the entire
acreage will food based upon the recog
nized number of acres necessary for the
support'lii that locality for a single ani
mal during ono year. Within these
lease-holds pre-emptions and homesteads
will continue to bo taken , and while tbo
land is gradually brought under cultlva
tion the cattle will continuo to utilize the
grass which annually renews itself. Thus
the two Interests can bo prosecuted har
moniously and with manifest benefit to
the country until In the slow progress of
tlmo the farming Interest supersedes the
grazing. "

The Terrible F to of Two Train
Wreckers , Near Purvis , Miss.
Special Dispatch to the Globo-Doraocrat.
CHATTANOOGA , TBN.V. , December 27
On the night of the 22d inst. the passen
ger train on the Now Orleans and North
western railroad between Now Orleans
and Atlantic , while running at the rate
of forty miles an hour , was wrecked near
Purvis , Miss. , by an obstruction placed
on the track by wreckers , llobort Tur
ner , of Cincinnati , and his fireman were
crushed to death by being bruised be
neath the tender.
Tom Griff detective for the road , was
sent to work up the case , and ho soon
had reasons to suspect throe men and
they were arrested and placed in jail at
Parvls. They wore charged with the
crime and finally confessed , stating that
they thought it was a freight train and
desired to wreck it Iu order to steal what
they wanted for Christmas. They did
not intend to wreck the passenger
train , and wore sorry it was dono. They
also expressed contrition at the
death of Turner and his fireman. They
stated that they wrecked a freight train
at the aamo place for the same purpose
about a year ago. The news of the ar
rest was kept vety qulot , but soon be
came common talk among railroad men.
About 12:30 : o'clock this morning fifty
railroad men , including conductors , en
gineers , firemen , brakemen and section
men boarded the south bound train at
Meridian. The train stopped at Purvis ,
and the crowd got off and pro
ceeded at once to the jail ,
where they battered down the
door with axes and alodgo hammers.
The prisoners , amid piteous appeals for
moroy , were led out and ropes placed
around their necks Their cries for
mercy wore to no purpose. They were
dragged to a point near the aceno of the
wreck and swung up to trees , where their
dead bodies were found dangling In the
air this morning. It woa about 2 o'clock
when the terrible work of the lynchora
was completed , and as the last man was
strung oil the mob stole quietly away.

Women Who Cnro Nothing lor the
Pnst History ofilielr Diamonds
Atlanta Constitution ,
Two old detectives sat by a blazing
grate fire in a down-town office examining
Bomo jewels. There were diamonds ,
pearls , sapphires and rubies in the lot , all
handsomely mounted.
"It la strange , " said ono of the men ,
"horr people , especially ladles , yearn for
thoHo jewels. Almut every jewel In the
world , has had some connection with
ahanio and crime , possibly with violence
nnd death. The fair and virtuous Indy
whoso neck is encircled with gloaming
diamonds of great value little dreams
that the atones In that sparkling chain so
much admired by herself nnd others may
some tlmo have graced n wanton's nock
or been the motive of murder. A gem
la not like anything else that is worn. It
is practically indcscribcablo. It may , of
course , bo lost , but a precious stone once
trimmed and polished la likely to last for
ever , passing from hand to hand. Think
of the various owners that the ordinary
diamond must have In the course of n cen
tury , the various methods resorted to
gain possession of it , and the various cir
cumstances under which people have parted -
ted with It. Almost ovcry ono of these
stones that is of value has a history often
written in human blood.
"I know a lady in this town who has
sold her diamonds and will have no
others unless she caii"bo assured that she
is the first wearer , but as a rule the
ladies do not caro. I happened to bo Interested
torestod in a'peentinr caao connected in
directly with a murder that had taken
place in a neighboring town a number of
years ago. The murderers had long ago
been punished , but iu working up the
other caao I found that some valuable
diamonds , stolen at the tlmo of this mur
der , had boon purchased by a broker in
this city and afterward sold to a firm of
jowclors. I traced them and discovered
that they h M boon mounted in oar-rings
and oold to a young lady in town. Fol
lowing the matter up , I called on the
young lady in question , and in her hus
band's presence briefly recited the his
tory of the goms. When I came to the
murder part she was horrified , and as I
described to her the fact that the box in
which they had foimerly boon kept was
found in the blood of tholr previous
owner , and that the stones themselves
might at ono tlmo have had blood on
them , aho turned palo , put her hands to
her oars , in which the gems sparkled resplendently -
splondontly , and screamed "
"Sho wanted to got rid of them , eh ? "
said the other defective , removing his
cigar from his month as the other paused
to light ono.
"You'd have thought sowouldn't you ? "
continued the first speaker. "But that
isn't what uho said at all. She just
grabbed her oar-rings and began to yell
to her husband "Don't yon lot this man
take my diamonds. They are paid for ,
and they're ' mine. I've got the receipt
for them , so there , now , and I don't
know anything about this bloody mur
der. '
"Her husband and I talked the matter
over after awhile , and 1 arranged a moot
ing of the innocent parties who had had
dealings with the diamonds , and they
fixed up the matter somehow so that the
family which owned thorn originally got
them and the others did not lese much.
But that is a fair sample of how much the
owners of jewels think or care what their
history may have been. "
P ttl HUH In Her Prime.
New York Times , Dec. 20.
Mme , Patti's performance in"Crispino
o la Comaro" attracted to the Academy
of Music laat evening ono of thoao over
flowing and brilliant assemblages which
It Is this artist's sole privilege to bring
together. Mr. Mopleson makes it a rule
to reserve the best things of the season
for Its closing nights , and this year's ex
perience Indicates that ho proposes ad
hering to his usual policy. These per
sons who do not hearken to Mmo. Patti
in "Crispino , " or in operas of a like col-
ibro , cannot claim , in fact , to have heard
that peerless songstress at her beat.
Powerfully dramatic as she often allows
herself in "Alda" and in "La Traviata , "
for example , it is only In such bright ,
ornateand rippllngmusic as Rossini wrote
for "II Barbioro , " as Anbor composed
for ' 'Los Diamante do la Couronno , " and
as the Rlcci brothers provided for "Cris-
piuo , " and oniy in characters as natural
and joyous as Hasina Oatarina , and An-
notta , that the vocalist's sparkling tones
and facile and dazzling execution , and
the actress's buoyancy of spirits and mas
tery of all the methods called into play
by light comedy , are listened to and soon
under the most favorable circumstances.
How admirably Mme. Patti alngs and
acts Annotta has often been eot forth in
these columns , and as tlmo appears to
pass on and leave the artist untouched
by its wing the record of performances
in bygone years 'might stand for yoater _ '
day's representation. As mentioned al"
ready , the audlonco filled the house , and-
as during last season , since which "Oris-
plno" hoc npt boon heard , applause , en
cores , flowers , and recalls marked
incessantly the progress of the
evening. It would bo difficult to single -
glo out a few Incidents of the
entertainment as worthy of special com
mendation. With tbo exception of the
scenes with the fairy , which , though
brief , are somewhat tedious , there is not
a dull page In "Crispino. " And Mmo.
Patti's part fits her to perfection. Everyone
ono of her numbers were encored , from
her first canzonet ( "Istorie belle" ) to the
last note assigned to her in the score ; her
dnet and dance with Crispino ono of
the moat fatiguing bits of work a aong-
atresss can nndertako , but ono wnich
Mmo. Patti performs with that absolute
unconsciousness of effort which enhances
tenfold the value and impresslvenesa of
all her efforts caused quite a demonstra
tion of enthusiastic delight , and her in
terpretation of "II bacio,1' in place of the
dialect songs habitually glvon in the ban
quet scene , was followed by almost AS
hearty a testimonial of pleasure. Mmo.
Patti , as implied already may now and
then essay heavier roles , but aho will
find none In which the brilliancy of her
glfta and talent ahlno forth as in such
characters as Annetta , whoae song and
attributes aeom to correspond In the
happiest manner with the quality of the
aongttots' voice , the suppleness ; of her
talent , and her youthful and annny dis
position ,
But twice this season has the Academy
of Music contained a goodly number of
prominent fashionables. They were un-
uaually attentive to the performance and
applauded the fair and favorite diva as if
it were her firat appearance. Her diamonds
mends aud jawels which she wore in the
recced act were an object of great at
traction and scrutiny , and several ladya
whoae brilliants are famous questioned
the genuineness of thosn before them on
Mmo. Patti's dross , From ono of the
boxes were thrown upon the atageabunoh
of roaea carried by ono of the ladies , and
Patti took themupkLsatd , themand show
ed by her manner ahe thought they were' '
over the footlights. The proaccninm
boxes were the conspicououa ones and ,
contained many well-Jcnown people. Mrs.
August Belmont , In black ,
were her beautiful pearl ornamontp ,
ind Mr. Belmont was prominent in
moro to bo nppticatod than any parsed
the box bealdo hor. Mrs. D. O. Mills ,
who was Mies Tiny Livingston , WAS with

AN EijEcnm : ! scAia ? PIN.
IIow n Young Man In a Broadway
Oar Attracted Attention ,
The Now York Times saya : Riding up
town in a Broadway car last evening was
a young foreign-looking gentleman of
sallow complexion who attracted at
tention. Every once in a while a light
would gleam from out of his scarf nnd
Illuminate the expanse of white collar
above it. The light came frpm a small
electric glow lamp made into n scarf pin.
The lamp was In a small bulb of glass ,
about throo-o.'ghths of an inch in
diameter , and the light itself was no
larger than a pin's hoad. It glowed ,
however , with exceeding brightness from
tlmo to tlmo aud the owner felt elated at
the notice ho attracted.
"Never soon oho before ? " ho said to a
Times reporter who was aboard the car.
"I got this in Paris a little over two
weeks ago. They are quite common
there , and I guoas they will soon bo so
hero. " t TT
"Whoro does the light come from to
light the lamp ? "
"Hoia It is. " Saying so the young
man took from out of his pis'ol pocket a
small inclosed box containing a battery.
This box was about the size and shape of
a flat four-onncb bottle auch as druggists
use.for medicines. Two wires led from
the box and connected with the scarf
pin. About five inches distant from the
box the wires passed through somothiug
like a button , which , being pressed , com
pleted the circuit. Whenever the owner
of the apparatus wished his pin to glow
ho simply pressed the button.
Fnlso Tails.
Philadelphia News ,
"Sayl Holdup ? Look hero ? " shouted
a queer-looking old codger , wearing a rat-
skin cap aud wrinkled top boots , to the
driver of a stylish team on Twenty-
second street above Chestnut. The
gentleman turned his head , looked in
quiringly at tho.old man , and pulled up
Ida horses.
"Well , what do you want ? " ho asked ,
as the man approached and dolled hia
cap.
cap."Why , ain't you the gent as wanted
his horse's tall lengthened out1 said the
old follow , looking scrutlnizingly at the
off-horse , whoao tail was rather short and
scanty.
"No ; Tdon't know what you meant"
exclaimed the gentleman , as with an an
noyed expression ho started down the
street again.
"That beats the Dutch , " said the old
fellow to a bystander , looking after the
rapidly disappearing turnout with a puz
zled oxpressiou , and ecratchlng his left
oar. "That gent must bo the twin brother
of the ono who told mp to call at his
stable and fix his horses tail. I lost the
address aud that's why 1 stopped him. "
"How do you 'fix' horso's tails ? " In
quired the stranger , looking interested.
"Why , I lengthens them out when
they're too short , and I thickens them
when they're too thin , " replied the old
man. "I take long horse hairs that I
got at the stables and other places and tie
them in so you can't tell it from the real
tall. "
"How long does it take ? "
" 0 , about a half a day to make an or
dinary tall ; the very long ones takes as
much as a day. I got rrom $10 to § 15
for a tail , 'cordin' to the siza and color. "
"Color ? "
"Yea , you GOO , some horses has mighty
queer colored tails , and they are hard to
match. Ono gout sent for mo to dye his
horso's tall once , 'cause it was turniu'
gray. I didn't get the right kind o'
stuff , I gueflB , for It came out bright , and
ho was awful mad ; " and the old follow
chuckled until ho was read in the face.

Chicago Herald.
Congressman Reed , of Malno , says
some very witty things both in the house
and out of It , but ho never made a
stronger point than ho did the other day
In private conversation on the aubject of
the United States senate. "Tho senate , "
ho said , "represents many very great in
terests. Every senator represents ono
railroad and some of them represent
two. "
While so sweeping an Indictment can
not bo literally true , the charge is appli
cable to BO many members of that body
that in a general way it is not far from
the exact fact. Imperceptibly almost the
senate has come to bo the stronghold In
this country of corporate and monopoly
power. It is magnificently constituted
for such a purpose. The limited number
of its members , the manner and the long
terms In and for which they are elected ,
and the absolute power of veto which it
has on the house of representatives makes
it practically the supreme legislative body
of the land. Nothing can reach an in-
interest which It defends. If the house
bo virtuous the senate prevents its virtue
from becoming aggressive. If it bp cor
ruptthe aonate will load it in corruption
or profligacy.
That body Is to-day a dUgraco to
America , The few able and good men In
it are helpless in the presence of so much
mediocrity and eervility. Its controlling
spirits are corporation lawyers or
moneyed representatives of monop
oiles , and their principal idea of leg
lative aerrlco is to protect the various
combinations which sent them there. Wo
will have no change In theao matters un
til the people exert aa much pressure on
tholr legislatures as the corporations do.
There is where tbo root of the evil lies.
