"THE WRITING ON THE AVAIL11 The Beef Barons Huat Step Down and Out , And Give tlio Sinnlt farmer mul tlio Homesteader n Chance A Vow "Words In Defense of Coin- inlflloiicr S ] > nrks. SUN DAKCK , ttyb.Feb. . 2.-tTo the Kditor. ] Now that publics interest hns been awakened to a lively extent , In tlio matter of tlio disposal of government Inhds , and this jnobabllity of congres sional action being taken relative there to , in the near future , it behooves every man Interested the matter to let bis "light shine : " Some time sinco. Ihuro npuonrotl in tlio columns of the OiUaha lhi : ; , n quito lengthy articltf , fi'om 'tlio pen of a " Hull .Alan" in iaudittioit and defense of tlie Jjaronial systum , of raising beef. An un informed I'cador of that article would nftt.urally infpr 'that tlie.salvation of tlio lutman family , "both temporal and eter nal , depend on' the perpetuation and protection of the beef barons , and their slip'sliod , Imp-hazard methods of beef- raising. Tine " Bull Man's" ' bowels of compas sion eccm strongly moved in behalf of the mechanics of the cast , and tlio poor granger of Nebraska. Hu uses long columns of figures to prove the im portance and magnitude of the cattle industry of the west , a fact by thu way that m > sanu-mindcd individual cares to dispute , lint his figures prove too much for his position and argument. Ho is conlidcnt that his readers will bo astonished to learn that the moderate- si/ed state of Iowa ranks second in the union in thu importance of her rattle in dustry. 1 apprehend that if lie had added thu necessary figures to represent llio wealth of the dairy interests of that state lie would have s-till further astonished his readers by having to acknowledge that Iowa's wealth in cattle , and the interests therewith connected , were greater than that po. soh < cd by tliegreatstato of Texas , the paradise of cattle men , with four times the area of the state of Iowa. When it is remembered that there lias never been a beef raised in the state of Iowa , under baronial rule , it will bu readily granted that the assertion that thu worm must depend upon the cattle barons for beef is simply null and void. AVlu-u the time comes for the beef barons to "btep down and out , " as it surely will , the poor mechanic of the cast will re ceive his regular ritions ( of beef ) and of a far superior quality to thalnowshippcd from the cattle king's ' pasture. It would be a singular idea indeed , if an individu al , worth less than the amount required to constitute a cattle king , could not raise cattle on the western ranges. The man would be considered a lit subject for a lunatic asylum who should publicly pro claim that tlio world could only be sup plied with agricultural products from such farms as those owned and operated by the Dairy tuples of Dakota , or the mammoth farms of California. And yet that would be just as plausible as the theory that beef farming , to be [ success ful , must be carried on a large scale. The condition of unhappy Ireland to-day is a good illustration of what largo farm ing and landlordism will do for any country , and largo beef farms arc just as pernicious in their tendencies as are largo agricultural farms. AVhen the cattle ranges of the west are occupied by the small stock raiser , who will be an actual settler , and who will combine stock-raising with agriculture there will bo made to grow "two blades of grass , where but one grew before , " and the production of beef will increase in the same ratio , with the dif ference that such beef will be worth two of those that now gallop over the prairies with the llectncss of a race-horse. If this bo a fact ( and I challenge successful con tradiction ) \yo have under the new order of things four times the wealth in stock alone , that exists under the baronial sys tem of beef raising , and wo will have tar more ; wo will have civilized society. Where now reigns the wild lawlessness of the cowboy , whose highest social am bition is to repair to the nearest frontier village and paint it a deep crimson and terrorize the biirroundiug community , wo will have peaceful noigliborhoods ot per manent citj/.ons. Instead of the isolated and nomadic cow-camp , wo will have prosperous villages , with their schools and churches. Instead of tlio beef baron , whose homo and interests are in some other portion of the country , perhaps in a foreign land , wo will have permanent residents1 , whoso wealth , if uot so great , will belong to the country wherein they have their homes. In short , AVO will possess all that is required to constitute prosperous communities where now naught exists save desolate , uninhabited wastes. The "Hull- Man" iu the article alluded to endeavors 10 excite tlio cupidity of the Nebraska granger by promising that ho shall receive - coivo 25 cents per bushel for the corn ho fuiT.ishcs to feed to baronial beeves. Now , in my humble opinion , the average Nebraska granger will soon learn , if he has not already done so , that his pecun iary interests will bo best served by rais ing beeves of his own to consume his corn and grass. In onebroath the writer points exultingly to tlio enormous wealth represented by tlio cattle industry , and in the libxt ho bemoans the fact that the poor cattlemen have no one in the halls of congress to represent and protect their interests. Alf that tlio really poor cattlemen asks of our congressmen is that there shall bo no class legislation in tlio rich cattlemen's favor. What the poor cattlemen , the homcstoador , the pioneer settler , the homeless emi grant , all sternly demand of our law-makers , is that the public ddmain shall ever remain tlio heri tage of the actual settler. The idea ad vanced of adding another grade to the nubile Jands , to bo known as grazing lands , is not only totally unnecessary , but would work great injury to the small ( poor ) stockmen i , the ranchman , and the lomcstcader ! ; inasmuch as the grazing ; lands leased by the government would invariably bo secured by the stock syndi cates. Under the existing state of alVairs , until those lands are occupied by the actual settler , one man has just as good a right to use them as another. The very fact that the bcof barons are clamoring for the priviligo of leasing the western ranges , proves conclusively that they see tlio "writing on tlio wall" anil thoroughly realize that unless prevented by timely legislation , their ranges will speedily bo occupied by the actual settler , who will , as I have already shown , put those pasture lands to a far better use than can over bo done by the exclusive stock raiser. The assertion made by the bcof kings , that there are largo areas of the western territories , that are until for everything save grazing long-homed Tq.xas steers , upon , is absolutely and maliciously false- I ran remember well when the bamo as scrtious were made concerning central and western Nebraska , and not so very many years ago ; neither. Tlio only "commissioners'1 needed by the govern ment to grade the public lands are speed ily doing the business in u systematic and thorough manner. This government commission is composed of landless' people ple looking for homes in the west. Tins commission , so far , has mudo no mis takes. If its decision is that land is en- pablo of growing agricultural products , thu decision , though questioned' m the beginning , Jn the end' is Invariably sus tained by actual facts. If the government will just mcntam this commission , for another decade , the stock baron's cat * tie pastures will have grown small and beautifully less. His now extensive ranges will have been occupied by ranch men , who will combine farming and stock-raising , keep tlio improved breads of stock , and no more than they can comfortably shelter and feed durinc the inclemency of the winter months. A\ hen that time shall come the cruelty Will have ceased of letting poor dumb brutes jjer- isli by the thousand amid tlio drifting snows and arctie cold , in consequence of their owners being both unwilling and unable to furnish the poor animals food and shelter. There is another matter I wish to no tice before clo-ilng , and that is the un necesary noise certain papers are mak ing concerning Gen. Sparks' order with holding patents from being issued to set tlers who have made ilnal proof. So far from congress recinding that order , and cashiering its author , ho should bu fur nished by congressional action , with ample means to follow up ids order with thorough investigation. Commissioner Sparks took ( lie only course to which lie bad access to head oil1 the innumerable land steals that are being perpetrated in every portion of tlio .vest : and I nm heartily glad that the BKK is solidly supporting linn , 1 am one of those much-abused set tlers , about whom tlio Inter Ocean and other papers are so earnestly " cnggcl- ing" the commissioner. I nave made linal proof , forwarded Undo Sam $200. in full payment for a quarter section of land , and am entitled to a patent to tlio Bamo. Hut I am unable to realize where in 1 am grievously wronged by the patent temporarily bcinsr withheld. If the com missioner can , by withholding my pa tent a year or two , head oil' even a portion tion of the rascality that is defrauding the government of the public domain , I am content. One of the howling protests is , that the poor settler can not mortgage his land for money upon which to live. It would bo a holy blessing , if this were a fact ; but it Is not. When a poor homesteader is compelled to mortgage his land to some shylock who in the end invariably de mands the pound of Mesh , he had better vacate at once and save future litigation. 1 can mortgage 1113' land to-day and get every dollar on it that I could if 1 had twenty patents ; that is , provided that tlio party to whom 1 make the mortgage is cognizant of the fact of my having strict ly complied with the requirements of the pre-emption laws. It is where the claimant has failed to comply with the requirements of the law that the "shoo pinches. " It is parties who have no rights to patents that are in the greatest hurry to secure them. They fear tlio investigation demanded by Com missioner Sparks. 1 only hope tnat lie will hold the fort until some of the land perjurers are brought to time. WII.UAM FOUNTAIN Dlt.Yl'Ml. BALLET-DANCING. A "Wearing : Occupation ami Poorly Paid. The New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Record says : A doctor of my acquaintance told mo the other day of a case he had which curdled my blood with horror. Not because it was tlio worst case 1 ever heard of , but because of the mingling of disease and festivity. It was that of a ypuns woman who was one of the dancers in " "Adonis. " She appears in tights , as do all the dancers in that play. These tights are pulled on with the greatest care so as not to show a wrinkle , and are held in place by a nar row leather belt , which is strapped around the waist next the skin and pulled so tiglit that the girl is almost cut in two. She cannot do the pulling herself ; it has to bo done by another person and when it is so tight that she is ready to drop , the tights are tucked under it and thus kept in posi tion. Then she dresses and goes upon the stage and dances. Thu consequence is that she has a terrible internal disease which can never be cured while she is playing this part , and ho cannot all'ord to stop playing it , for she is the bread winner of a largo family. The doctor argued with her on the subject , and said that if she kept on she would kill herself , and then the family would have no one to work for them , and would not have the money to bury her with. She admitted the truth of what ho said , but added that all the other girls were in the same condition , and that they bad to take their chances. She mi.rht not die if she wont on dancing , and she certainly would starve if she stopped. It is not only the girls who dance in "Adonis , " but the irls who dance anywhere , who have a very hard time of it , for there seems to be no other way of holding up the tights than this process of strapping. 'I hey might bo fastened over the shoulder in some way. but then , as thu girls have to wear the necks of their dresses low , that is impos sible. The stereotyped smile of the bal let dancer is proverbial , and is as much a part of the profession as their short skirts. Yet I fancy that few people feel less like smiling than they do. And I do not wonder that it is such a mechan ical smile witli them. Ballet dancing is no joke , It is probably the hardest pro fession that a woman can follow. You look at the cords in the neck of a dancer when she is going through some of her poses , at the strain ing ot all the muscles , and you will not envy her lot. Then , again , do you sup pose it is any fun dancing down the stage on tlio point of your toes ? Far from it. To bo sure , the extreme points of the slippers are padded , but the toes of the Ject are curled under , and the ugliest bare foot outside of China is that ot' the ballet dancer , for it is always do- formed. And for all their hard work ballet dancers , nro very poorly paid. The premieres get anywhere from $75 to f.uv a week ; if they are stars they got more , while the coryphees think themselves well paid at from § 12 to $10 a week , and'to earn their $12 to $15 a week they have had to pass years in training. They should begin at four or five years of ago. and keep on until they are fifteen , when they can appear in tlio back row of the ballot. From that they work their way on to the front row , and , if they have the talent , become premieres. It is a hard life , and yet to any one looking on from tlio front of the house it seems to bean an easy ono. Hut this is not the oitiy thing about tlio htago that is deceptive , Ijots of Cemetery About Her Figure.

The little town of Ilustlotown , Cal ifornia , lying iit ( he foot tlio mountains still bears some.'murks of tlio mining camp from which it grew up. I found enough in it to interest me during my first ilny here , says a correspondent of tlio Chicago Herald , but my first night ut lltistietown promised to bo dull enough. The Metropolitan Hotel , nt which I nm stopping , was altogether barren of metropolitan attractions. A hard rainstorm had set in about dark , and tlio heavy drops clattered against thu window panes and ran down them in shining streams. 1 strolled into the bar and billiard room , in which at western hotels there is usually abundant life aud animation. Tlio only iuniato was tlio bartender , who , seated on ti low stool and loaning against the boor refrigerator , was reading a llash illustrated paper , as was made manifest by tlie inevitable dis play of feminine ankle that 1 descried on a corner of tlio sheet held toward me. The single billiard table , covered witli what looked Jilcu a faded old bed quilt , wore a very distressed and woo-begoiio look , as if at tiiat moment it might bo suffering from a nightmare consisting of all the execrable shots to which during its lifetime it had been made an unwilling party. Several rows of shining pool ball in tlio rack against tlio wall winked in the dim light of the dingy kerosene lamps. Eight or ten cues , stained witli the grasp of many dirty palmsstood up still' aim prim in a line m the cue-rack , and at tlio end of the bar stood a large box spittoon , tlie fresh sawdust in which showed the effects of a recent center shot. I shook my head at tlio bartender , who had raised his eyes inquiringly to signify that I wanted no bar-room refreshments , then glancing out tlio dripping window and seeing : i bright light across the street , 1 turned down the brim of my slouch hat , buttoned my coat around my throat and scurried over to the little saloon which is , as 1 had learned during the day , the favorite retreat of the village tipplers. A group of tlio-to "genial" customers that are wont to booze away their evenings at such en ticing bowers of the bowl were in the plaeo. A rough-looking man whose ample nooo was robed in the erini'-on hue in which convivial youth of the east sometimes paint , the town , sat at a table sipping gin and water , and sipping it , too , with a deliberation indicating either nn absence of-ardont thirst or a desire to make the noit.of tlio drink , which , for reasons coiiiujoted. with personal finance and the prudent limitations upon the credit systom'ninintained at the bar , was quite likely to be his last drink of tlie evening. m j "Gineral , " saidlo him one of the throe or four like-looking men gathered round the stove , "this is u liowhli' bad night. " The " ( lineni ! " 'whether so-called in a spirit of compliment for military services , perhaps duly recorded somewhere in the war annalj ? ot his country , or in the way of a facetious allusion to his marked propensity for gin and water , I shall not attempt to say -jpoised his spoon long enough mtlid air midway from his glass to Ins lips' ( reply that it Was , indeed " . and ' Wus and deed , "a tough Mm. gotten' wus. " And as if to corroborate this un favorable opinibn of the weather , tlie rain boat against the door and windows with increased fury , the wind tore head long through the street hitting the swine- ing signs a blow that made inein shriek with pain and rage , and the rising creek roared in tlio jjulcli below. "That boomm' crook down there , " re sumed "the Gineral , " alter a little pause , "makes mo think of the terrible night \yhon old Jake Hojt's little gal was car ried away in tlio bi spring rise. It was nineteen year ago the comin' spring. I can allns recollect when it was , without puttin' it down , 'cause it was the vcrry same night that Sacramento poker sharp , who busted the hull of us , beat my four aces. Yes. it started in just like this , n rainin' and a-blowin' aud the creek howl- in" itself hoarse. What an awful night it was , and what a deal of bad luck and what a deal o' good it brought to old Jake Holt. Jake , ye see , was allus just the poorest , seediest , good-for-nothlnc&t cuss anywhere round hero. But ho was a rich man almost from the fust hour that big storm burst eve the holler. Yes , sir , tmro'ri ' you're born , of it hadn't been for the drowniu' of that pooty little gal down in the run there Jtikn might o' been yet the poor , sliilless coot ho was them days , instead o' the richest man in these parts , wliieh ho is now. " " don't mind tollin' tlio "Woll.l ye story , stranger , though it's an old tin to folks hereabouts. " - An invitation to "havo something witli me" was accepted with cheerful alacrity , it being a western principle to never discourage - courage generous impulses like mine , no matter whether more drink is desired or not , and "tho gineral" continued : "Tho weather all that spring was just a litth ) the wustyou ever see. The snow melted am ) inn down tlio mountains , Icavm' their brown sides bare a sight sooner than I'd ever scon it do before. The dri//.lin' rain never missed a day. It rained just all the time , sometimes slow and sometimes harder. The mm didn't shine , and for days and days together wo didn't see a patch o' blue &ky. Great banks o' mist wont sailn ; ' slowly along the sides of the mountains , hidin' 'em from the sight of everybody on lids hide tlio run. A shower of rain drops fell out o' the pines with every breath of the wind. Rain , rain , rain. Tlie snow IJop meltin' and tlio , , mountains was check ered with cutr'in the i-ed clay down which streamed1 tlio rain and molted snow. KvuryjtUl\ig was damp and drizzling , everybody felt blue enough to tnknplzon , ( mill don't know what wo should hov < { pno" if it hadn't boon for a few blessed paqkbo' cards. "All this tinmtllu run had kep crcopln' up tlio banks. : < ij'1iom } a little stream that you almost coulditand ami jump across in dry times , it gp > before lonir to rushin1 and ragin1 like ) rite old Missouri river on a bender. 'Make lived in A little shanty half way up tlio blulV , on t'other side o' the creek. It was a moan , tumble-down sort o' place , for Jukaj just as 1 said , was a no- account feller a shiftless kind o' uuss , who iiovor hud the knack o' ' gettin1 along Jiko other folk's. If ho ever tried to do anything it never panned out us-it would a done lor anybody olso. Hard luck was allus at Ids heels. Ilu took up more 'n a dozen different claims hereabout , but they never amounted to notliin' wlnlo fellers all round him were making hjg money right along , Jake was a Joiuili for every poker game , and everybody allus hated to set in witli him. They lived poor enough in the little fehanty up tlio bhilf there. I don't know what they'd ft done if it hadn't been for Jake's wife , a tearju1 smart woman , who took in washin' and did a little sewin' and mondin1 for tlio neighbors , while Jake was spcntlin1 what money ho got agin the golden gate bar. "They had a little gal , as pooty a little , tiling as ever you see , with eyes as blue as a pool on tlio top of the mountains , and hair that shone like streaks of briglit gold in the roek. Her iiujnu it was Aluggio , aud ut the time I'm te'llin' about , she must a bin seven or eight years old. She was just as cute , and pretty and smart as they ever make 'om , and Jake AVOS mighty proud of her , as well lip might bo. Why , I've seen her come down to the Golden Gate and take Jake homo up the mountain when it was so late itl.c stars was beginnln' to fade out 6' sight before the sunrise. "One night n lot of us was over to the Oolden Gate. I was playin' poker with tlie Sacramento chap 1 spoke of and another feller 1 didn't ' know , but who feemcd to bo a friend o' his'n. The creek had riz about three feet that day , and it looked mighty tcaiy for every thing in its reach. C'y Parker , who owned the saw-mill a little above , Had been pokin' round witli a long pole pretty much all day to see how high she was and how fast site was risln' , and ho looked mighty solemn , 1 tell you. Folks living In the houses along the banks had moved out , and just before dark o very- body in town had been watchin' the bridge , fearin' every instant to . eo it car. rk'd away. It was still rainin' , and tlio wind and the waters were tryin' to see which could make the most noiso. Wo kcp' ona-pluyin' , me and the Sacramento man and tno other feller , not carlu' for the Hood nor anything else. Jake and the other boys who had got tired watch- iu' was snoozing around the hot .stove. 'Magino my feelin's , if you can , when I got a hand on the Sacramento chap's deal with four kings in it. 1 backed her for all 1 had just as you'd a done , stranger , and the Sacramento chap htayedl Hut lill me with buckshot if ho didn't show over mo with four pesky aces and &eoop iu thu pot. That wound up the game for mo. 1 sat down in a comfortable place by the stove with n night-cup of my reg ular gin and water. Daylight was hteiilln' in through the drippin' winders. It was still rainin' and tlie wind was still howliu' just about as it is now. All at once I heard somebody callln' . What I had 'magined before was a wild , seared voice 1 was now sartln about. Iwoko up the boys and wo went out to see what was the matter. It was hard to believe your eyes. The mill was gone , the bridge was gone. Every huliso that stood any where near the batiks had been carried away. Trees that were high and iliy before were bending their boughs before tlio ragin'valorn , apd the boilin' , turn- bliii1 foamiii * eree'i tearin' , , . was along full of loss , lumber , drift wood , wrecks of houses , and everything you could think of. 15ul wo didn't stop to look round much. For .there on the other sidu o' the creek down to tlio water's cdgd was Jake's wife standin1 in tlie gray mornin' with her "hands at her chin , cluteliin' an old faded shawl around her head , and her dress soakin' ' wet and switchin' in tlio wind. Make , ' she called in a seared , wild voice , 'is Maggie over tlieroV Jake give a smfdcn start , turned pale as a ghost , reeled as if stunned , and answered back 'iro , ' "as if it was the hard est word lie ever spoke in all his life. I'll never forget , if I lives to bo a hundred. tlie shriek of that poor woman as1 slio fell in n heap to the ground. "Ye see , she'd sent Maggie down to the Golden Gate to got Jake , fer.rin * lie might fall into the run if lie tried to go homo alone while full. Everybody thought she must a ben on the bridge when it went down tlie creek. Jake took on awful. AVe got up a parly of us and went sarchjn' down both banks for the poor little girl's ' body. Wo didn't lind it lor purty nigh a week. The rain bad slopped , the sun was shiiiin' brightcr'n ever , and the creek had gone down agin to where , it belonged. It allus seemed to me as if that tree down there wsi's claspin' that poor little dead gal in bis arms in a kind o' savin' like way. For , tangled in thu branches of tt big fallen tree about a mile down the stream , and partlvkivered up witli leaves wo found her. It was a purty place. There was a little clearin' near 'by in the shade of some big trees that the fust birds o' spring was chipperin' round in. Be low was thu creek a nuirmiirin' as if sorry for what it had done. On tlio other side was the mountains , bristlin' witli pine trees that shone in the sun as if they had been varnished. There wasn't no grave yard hero then , and Jake , who didn't be lieve in churches and regular funerals and such thing , allowed he'd bury her risrlit there intholiltleejearin' . Ono of us went back for Jake's wife , and to toll the folks who hadn't beurd she'd been found. , There was a preacher iu lhe sarclnn * party , a chap that lied been tryin' to get up some religious meetin'.s in the hall over the Golden Gate. When everybody was ready ho said a little prayer , and blamed if what that preacher'said about that poor little dead gal therodidn't start the tears a-llowin' in everybody's eyes. Then Jake , who said as how no one but h'sself should dig that grave , took a pick that ono of us had borrered from a mine near by. Almost this first liok ho struck Jake slopped suildun , turned pale and rubbed bis eyes with his li.st. But every body knew Jake was fuel in' mighty bad , and it's a purty hard thing , stranger , for a man to dig a grave which he's goin' to bury his pnii' child in. Then Jake took another liek. Then he stooped down and looked hard at the gravel he'd just turned up. 1 looked thar. too. What was it ? Gold , stranger , gold ; just as sure as you're slandin' agin that bar. Yen , sir ; right thar , in ijiggin that grave for his dead gal , Jake- struck the uiggest lead over struck in this county. "The parson who saw the gleam o' gold in the gravel .said somethin' about its bcin' nature's sermon on Maggie , or nature's tribute , or somollim' like that , and Jaku kupt r.T-diggin' till the grave was dono. Tlie.n wu lowered her into it , covered her with pine branches , and then Jake filled tlio grave up with dirt you could sou the gold gloamin1 in : vt every shovelful ! . "That big house up yonder on the bluff , with tlio towers and conpalos , verando.s and all them ! sort o' things , be longs to Jako. It's on the same plauo wheio his old shanty used to stand , lint folks say that pay gravel , as eloli as it has made him , has never paid Jake Holt for tlio loss by wbicJnhe struck it.

Ono day a cer tain commercial pilgrim was in the who- grass region and stopped at a town while tlio Miporiorcourt was in session. After doing up the place ho dropped into the court honso , principally because there was nowhere else to drop. While ho was there one of the lawyers handed an order to the judge for his signature. Hi.s honor put on his specs gravely and bosran to scan the writing slowly. Ho made very little progress , but stumbled from wonl to word with the greatest dllllculty and halting.
