THE NEW YORK CASE
'Many valuable lessons can be
drawn from recent occurrences in
the state of New York. We
speak more directly of the Sulzer
case and its results. There was
rejoicing in New York "when Sul
zer was elected for the people be
lieved that he would accomplish
great good in purifying the local
conditions in the city of New
York and in the state at large.
Sulzer and his friends had the
Tammany Tiger to fight The re
sult is that Sulzer has lost It is
true that he is not altogether free
from blame and his conduct was
such that cannot meet the appro
bation of honest and intelligent
people, and his removal from
office is not so much to be regret
ted, nor do the people at large
have much sympathy for him.
His trial and conviction may be
regarded as a political catastrophe
and as such it has served its pur
pose to arouse the state of New
York to a sense of its own humil
iation. The upheaval in the city
of New York has resulted in the
election of Mitchell as Mayor of
that city by the overwhelming
majority of about 125,000, thus
completely overthrowing Tam
many Hall. But the trouble is
that the people will settle down
into the old ruts immediately
after the noise of the recent cam-J
paign has subsided, and in a short
time the vicious element will
again be in full control of Jiff airs
in New York and New York City.
Vice is coherent, is always
armed, is always ready to resist
any invasion of its precincts and
will fight to the utmost for its
preservation. This is not true
of the better thought and better
class of people. They are com
paratively without leadership, for
few men will dare to assume the
responsibility of a leadership of
a disorganized force, when he
knows in advance that he ' arrays
against him all of the vicious ele
ment The old cry "Give us
men," is meaningless, because
we have men. What we should
cry is "Give us organized men"
of the highest and purest type
who will take the responsibilities
of political vvarfare, and will give
us a pure and good government
Political Tag Day should be over
and : men should determine for
themselves and should determine
it -as an organized force, that
none but the- purest and best
men are allowed to hold the
offices. , .
BEEFSTEAK
We are not a farmer and know
nothing about the needs of the
farmer, but we do know as a mat
ter of current history,N that there
is a great shortage of beef cattle
for the markets. We are not able
to analyze the question and will
not be able to point out the error.
However, we think that we, can
see and understand it well enough
to know that there " are two rea
sons for the shortage. The first is
the great influx of population to
this country, the same having in
creased about twenty-five million
in the last fifteen to twenty years.
It is apparent that if ', the supply
oi cattle is the same now as it
was fifteen or twenty ; years ago,
that there must necessarily be a
shortage, because the population
has increased thirty-five per cent
during that time. T : : ." ' , ;
The second cause of the short
age is irom tne tact tnat an or
practically all of the large western
plains have been subdivided into
farms, and the ranch" cattle have
practically disappeared from the
market, and.insteadof the supply
being what is was fifteen years
ago, it has been cut short by very
large per cent. It is perfectly ap
parent that the decrease in the
production of cattle and the in
crease in population has really
had the effect to cut the normal
supply about fifty per cent
As civilization advances and as
the wilds are subdued and turned
into- cultivated fields,; the ranch
cattle necessarily . disappear and
the effort of the farmer has been
directed more towards the produc
tion of crops than in the produc
tion of cattle.
Another suggestion is that the
killing in immense quantities of
beef cattle and storing them away
in refrigerators has withdrawn
another large portion of beef.
To one who reflects over the
situation, it is very apparent that
a beefsteak will be a rare thing in
a few more years unless the
energy of the farmer is directed
to the cultivation of more beef
cattle. .
Back to the farm is the slogan.
Land Stock and Crops
Henry S. Caywood, of North
Middletown, bought 270 acres of
land from Sam Mackey on the
North Middletown pike, at $150
per acre.
G. W. Kemper sold a tract of
land near Millersburg at $118 an
acre.
J. B. Martin of Winchester has
bought a farm in Bourbon county
from N. R. ; Jacoby of 136 acres
paying therefor $130 an acre.
J. C. Hamilton of Mt. Sterling,
sold 500 acres of land in Bath
county to Judge John H. Hard
wick of Stanton, Powell county,
at the price of $125 per acre. It is
said to be one of the best farms
in Bath county."

Only Business Strings Cut
E. C. ' Walton who recently
purchased an interest in the
Richmond Climax, . has sold his
interest in that paper to the form
er owners A. V. Miller and W.
G. White. : ' "
"Mr. Walton made many friends
while he was here, and we regret
iu see mm sever ms connection
with this community. The Cli
max will continue under the man
agement of Messrs,. Miller and
White.'
Oldham Wins
C. K. Oldham, brother of our
merchant prince, W. D. Oldham,
has won his race for Mayor in the
city of Mt Sterling, by a majority
of 43. .Mr. Oldham has been
away from Mt Sterling quite a
great deal of the time for the
last three months, and in his ab
sence his opponent made inroads
on his strength, but the majority
is amply sufficient and he will be
Mayor of Mt -Sterling for the
next four years. ;
