OMAHA, Jan. 11 -To he Rrtltnt of The
hoe: 1 have been nnft of ur reader for
a long I1m, and a on Interested In the
Important matter now rlng from d td
day 11 'h rmei'Utlon of Ihe rattle men
of our Mate, would respectfully h apare
for a Word.
It la vetv etldeMt at Itil time that the
once proepemu rohdltjnn of th cattleman
of western Nhtak ha been groaaly tram
pled upon. Among Ihe more notable fea
ture that hava brought dlr disaster to
Ihe door of Ihe mll rancher la Ihe order
Ing down of their fence nt a time when
Ihe low prlo paid rr rattle had placed
many of them on the verge of bankruptcy.
Added to lhl come ih seeming deter
mination on Ih perl of the admlttltrntlon
In further persecute wetern Nehreak. and
II may le welt at thla time to ak, If Ihl
tate of affair la Id continue, what. In
deed, will Ih harveat be?
Omaha, hut a hort time agn but little
more than en Indian village, today a mag
nificent Mty, built largely and Ita Inter
ete fostered and cared for by the very
man againt whom the venomous atlng of
accusation la being directed. Omaha, to
day, aa an Industrial and commercial cen
ter, built almost entirely by the cattle In
terval of the weatern part nt the state,
rank Well with It city lterft of th
union, and has future bernre It which
lnplrea Ita every cltlgen with hope and ad
miration. It marketa. aa a slock center,
have been th third largest In the United
Btatea, hut today It stands sorely threat
ened hy hardahtpa Imposed upon the very
men who have borne Ita hurdena and con
tributed most to Ita glory.
It I appalling to note the article appear
ing from time to time In entern publica
tion regarding the condltlona In the weal,
all based upon absolute Ignorance, If not
worse. f
To graap the situation, one mut per
aohally Inveatlgnte th cattle country of
today as compared with that of yeeterday.
The fence of Ihe Standard Cattle company
yesterday enclosed ,0W head of cattle; to
day their fence enclnne lea than mm head
of cattle. Yemerdny the Standard Cattle
company maintained a vlllnre within their
range of about fto people, with good wagea;
today three men are eufftclent to care for
the odd and end of that great enter'
prise, and that once proaperoua little Vil
lage of happy people la entirely deserted
Innumerable Inetniices of like character
could be cited, anlde from ths many small
ranchea and range desolated by desertion,
Small cattlemen are the greater euffcrera,
for they have been compelled to abandon
What to them wa their bualneaa and
tapltal. The tearing down of these fencea
meant a closing out ot the fea' head of
rattlo Oft'ned by them. Well, It la known
they were unable to maintain rtdera to
look after numerou email bunchea of cat
tie, for the prices paid for the lima would
In no way warrant It.
A look Into the future foretells more
than haa been graaped by thoae who per
latently contond for the uprooting of the
cattle Intercuts, Too little thought la given
thla Important subject by thoae who ehould
be moat lnterted therein. It I time for
the stock Interest of the state, for the
comnilaeton men, for the Board of Trado of
Omaha, In fact, every bualneaa circle of
thla atate to asake to threatening con
dition that confront them and decide upon
a remedy at once efficacious to all and
harmful to none.
' This muat be done In the light -of tho
moat Important and sacred Intereata of Ne
bntRka's Rtatehood. .those , Intereata-, upon
which the' progresa and stability of Ne
braska haa depended so much In the 'past
and to which It muat look In th future,
the cattle Interests ot western Nebraaka.

curred but once before in Omaha In fifteen
year.
Next Sundev I predict that hot a saloon
In IMnali will bn open fur huslnes.
Th result haa been accomplished against
the streniiou uiKsltlon of the trlnltr of '
brewer who control the police department
of Omaha and their willing tool, the po-
lloe commission. It haa been accomplished
henause nf the Invincible power of the law.
Nn saloon keeper and no other kind of
grafter call atnnd against the law so long

enrolled. Behind this campaign I ar
rayed tha Chrlslllan citizenship of Omaha.
A determined effort now will effect a com
