HERE seems to be an extraordinary condition of indifference in the West to the effort now be- ng made by the Interior and Agricultural de- partments to protect the grazing property of the Gov- ernment by a leasehold control. The grazing lands west of the ninety-ninth meridian have been occupied without law and out foresight until their forage is greatly impaired and the resource of the country for a beef food supply 1 for our great export of that meat is rapidly dis- appearing. The statistics of Wyoming will serve as an example lts found there are general throughout the 7ing regic In 1885 Wyoming had on the ranges 1,280,016 head cattle with a value of $32,022,000 and 518,466 sheep a value of $1,072,188. The exhaustion of the cattle s rapid. As their forage disappeared sheep ed to destroy what was left, so that in 1808 had declined to 688,092 head, with a value 20606, and sheep had increased to 1,940,021, with a value of $5,714,332. There was leit therefore a | property value on these exhausted ranges of 102,028 to replace the total of $33,095,088 that was e twelve years before. It will be seen that the substitution of a sheep value for a cattle value is that of a less for a greater. The loss of cattle value in that twelve years was $15,632,- 204 and the substituted gain in sheep value was only and re the ¢ of $16, total $ th It is estimated that a sheep equivalent for cattle is ten sheep to one steer, so that to replace the full value of 1886 would require the presence of 13,000,000 As an officer of the Agricultural Department truly says: “Thirteen million sheep would transform Wyoming into a cloud of dust.”” The same officer will settle a number of Mohammedan agriculturists on this territory, with the object of raising cotton and grain. Baron von Oppenheim has no doubt that when once irrigation canals from the Euphrates and the Tigris have been built, modern Mesopotamia will | rival ancient Babylon in fertility and riches. He pre- dicts for the railway a brilliant future. In a short time the passenger and goods traffic must enormously increase, and, besides, mails to the East will certainly be dispatched by this line. Since the Baron obtained the data on which his book is based the situation has been changed ma- terially by the concessions which the Persian Gov- ernment has granted to Russia in consideration of an important loan. Those concessions virtually = give Russia a paramount influence in Persia, and conse- quently a control of the railways and the ports of that country. What the Germans will do to avoid the difficulty remains to be seen. It is hardly likely they will undertake to construct a railway whose eastern terminus will be under Russian control, and yet it is certain they cannot very well end their Bagdad road anywhere except upon some part of the Persian Guli. Diplomacy, of course, may find a way of arranging he matter to the satisfaction of all concerned, but it s clear that when once the Bagdad road is con- structed Germany will have to be counted as an Asiatic power, and Russia and Great Britain will not have the game altogether to themselves. : D — San Diego rainmakers should not be discouraged | even if they fail in their present attempt to compel moisture from above. In his speech during the Union League reception to Senator-elect Bard General W. H. L. Barnes gave promise of needed re- lief. He said that at the conclusion of this year's campaign he would be at San Diego weeping with Grant. adds: “Here and throughout the West are large areas of once fine grazing lands which to-day will not sup- rort one steer; for not merely have the grasses been | eaten to the ground year after year, but they have | been actually killed out and supplanted by other vege- The writer has trav- ersed mile after mile of such country along the Lower | Des Chutes in Oregon. From every part of the arid West rumors of such denudation are heard and from many sections the reports are reliable and precise. For obvious reasons the local newspapers say little nothing about the matter, but the fact that such and such a range is ‘played out’ is a matter of com- mon knowledge in Western communiti; I do not wish, for the mere purpose of supporting an argu- ment, to draw too black a picture of the decadence | of Western grazing lands, but I do wish to assert as strongly as possible my belief that if the laws govern- ing arid lands remain unchanged lawlessness will continue, the destruction of private property and human life will go on, the prosperity of communities will be lessened and one of the rich resources of the nation will be wasted. It must, however, in fairnes be stated that, bad as conditions now are, the remedy is easy and that, if soon applied, recovery will be quick. If an area of overgrazed land be fenced in and stock be kept off, the grass, if not actually killed, will after a time regain its original vigor—in some cases in a year or two, in others in five years. Hun- dreds of instances may be found where a small area of private land, fenced and not overstocked, main- its full forage crop, while outside the fence there is practically no grazing whatever. In many cases stockmen or companies have acquired titles, by purchase of homesteads, of tracts of watered land covering large territories and by fencing them in they have been able to control the grazing lands of those No others can bring their cattle, because they can get no water for them. The resident cattle- owner, therefore, while without legal control of the land outside his fences has de facto the exclusive use of it. He accordingly manages it as if it were his own property, that is, he does not overstock it. Asa our tains regions. | result the grass crop is maintained at its highest limit of continued productiveness. From its knowledge of these facts the Agricultural Department concludes that these ranges should not be sold to private ownership, that they should remain | a part of the public domain, but that their wasteful reduction to desert conditions should be prevented | by giving stockmen a leasehold control, properly safe- guarded and under Federal supervision, to the end that their forage may be renewed, even by reseeding if | necessary, and that the grazing business, now going ment, be neutral also, | swiftly and lawlessly to its final end, be furnished the protection of law and permanence. We cannot conceive why this should not be de- sirable for the stockmen. They should seek law, or- der and permanence for their occupation and there- | fore they should at once second the highly intelligent and necessary purposes sought by the Agricultural and Interior departments. It is not often that the in- fiuence of two of the great Cabinet departments is combined in securing an economic result that depends on legislation. Whether they se€ it or not the result is in the proper interest of the stockmen. But the consumers of beef food, the tanners and leather trades | | its tribute to the worth of the furniture-workers. have also a vital interest and if the stockmen con- tinue indifferent these classes should see to it that the supply of raw material is not cut off by the con- tinuation of an unwise and lawless policy. © The Board of Public Works may not think very highly of the services of laborers, but no fault can be found certainly with the honorable commissjon for The , adornment of the Commissioners’ rooms is a lesson highway for the commerce of all | 1 it is a pitiful exposure of ourselves to | in luxury. I THE BAGDAD RAILWAY. ROM Berlin comes the report of the publica- tion in that city of a work entitled “From Méditerranean to Persian Gulf,” which discusse | the various problems involved in the construction of | among the low hills of Kurdistan to Bagdad. the so-called “Bagdad railway,” a concession which was recently granted by the Sultan of Turkey to a German syndicate. As the book is the produc- tion of Baron von Oppenheim, an official of the Ger- man Government at Cairo, it is regarded as a work of no little importance. official outline of what the Germans purpose to ac- complish in the enterprise. It has been deemed well nigh certain that the rail- way would be constructed from point on the Bosphorus through the valley of the Euphrates to Bagdad, and from that point to the Persian Guli. Baron Oppenheim, however, aiter discussing various routes which have been under consideratign, comes to the conclusion the road should start from a port on the Mediterranean and proceed valley of the Tigris instead of the Euphrates. a The | Tigris route will be longer than the other, but it is richer, more thickly populated. has more centers of important trade, and is, moreover, the route taken by most of the caravans to and from the Persian Gulf. From this it appeats the new railway will be run from Konich to Biredjik and Mardin, and thence along the Tigris to Nisibin and Mosul, finally passing The notion of planting German colonists along this line | leading the way. for | It is, in fact, something of an | the | along the ! BRITISH DISCONTENTS. F the old saying: “The shallows murmur, but the [ cation, then at this time very nearly all the people of the British islands must be shallow, for almost all of them are murmuring. In the sound of their mur- murs two complaints are heard above all others- first, that the military censorship of the news from South Afric;} is unworthy of the British nation, and | second that the army has been proven to be a social | rather than a military organization and that the troops suffer disasters in battle because their officers are ignorant of the art of war. Against the censorship. some of the strongest papers in London have begun a veritable crusade, the Times The Westminster Gazette, in com- menting upon it, says: “It is one of our traditions that we seek neither to belittle our reverses nor to magnify our victories; surely it is a tradition worth guarding and worth adhering to. It is right that no | news of the movements or disposition of troops nor any details which might assist the enemy should be permitted to reach this country, yet we see daily that certain details which might very easily be of assistance | to the Boers are permitted to come home, while other information is withheld which would relieve thou- sands of anxious hearts at home while adding nothing | to the information of our enemy. We also see shameful insinuations against the honor of individua allowed to come home over the wires and we see let- ters published giving particulars which do no good to any one here, but might conceivably be of great | assistance to our foe. We see also long cables de- scribing in the greatest detail trifling successes, thus lending them a fictitious importance, while the re- sult of important operations is concealed from us at home long after it must have been perfectly well known to the Boers.” The truth of these statements is familiar to every one who has followed the reports from South Africa with sufficient attention to form an intelligent opinion concerning them and it is not strange the British peo- ple, in their cagerness for news and their anxiety about friends, should feel a deep and well-founded indignation against the censors who, without any valid reason, deprive them of the information they lesire. The clamor against the censorship, however, is not greater nor severer than that against the system of army administration which has placed British regi- | ments under the command of men who sought the rank solely for the social standing it gave them. The officers have proven themselves to be brave, for they have not shirked the duty of leading their men linto action, but they have also shown themselves wholly lacking in military skill and resources. They have been outgeneraled on the field in every fight { and have fallen into trap after trap set for them by their enemies. Thus, without gaining any success whatever, they have lost more men than it was be- lieved would be lost in the whole course of the war. The censorship will doubtless hold on its way until the end of the war unless Roberts prove a wiser man | | than Buller and give orders to relax it, but the pres- | ent system of providing officers for the army is doomed. The popular sentiment now aroused against | it will not lightly pass away. Great Britain may lose the Transvaal, but she will undoubtedly gain army reform by way of consolation. | T X T e s ! If half the clever words attributed to General | Joubert -are true the old Boer soldier is as distin- | guished a strategist in wit as he is in war.

The Call does not hold itself responsible for | the opinions published in this eolumn, but presents them for whatever value they may have as communications of gemeral interest. Editor of The Call: Sir—Your interest- ing article on “A People’s Palace fn Paris” reminds us that in this city of palaces for private individuals grown rich on the toil of the workers, palaces for their clubs, palaces for Christian as- sociations, palaces for stores and for God, there is no palace for the builder of all palaces in San Francisco. One solitary rented flat is for the builders of palaces— a reading room_ a billiard room, a smok- ing room, a ca®d and chess room and a room for other needful purposes. Another flat serves for two meeting halls, the rent of which helps to pay the expenses of this poor “labor temple."” ribbed, cab- ined and confined as it is.” the '‘‘Labor Bureau Association.” as this institution is called, is very popular with San Fran- cisco workingmen, and it should be stu- died as a germ or model for a labor tem- ple or peoples’ palace whenever it may | enter the collective mind of our commun- { ity to recognize that it has a duty to- | ward the creators of its wealth and | beauty. Too long has it been the fashion to grind out of the workingman all that he could render and to dole out to him a pittance that left him and his family helpless in | sickness and prostrate in his old age. Rear a palace for labor, free of cost to | labor. and every citizen will point to it | as the most creditable monument that can grace the city. Labor is entitled to it and will bave it.
