JAY COOKK AND ItKNHV VILLARD.
A little more than ton years ngo the
country was startled by the sudden col-
Inpso of Jay Cooke , whoso colossal for-
tunoacquirod ns a fiscal agent of the gov
ernment in the aalo of bonds , was anopt
away almost in n single day. The fail
ure of Jay Cooke precipitated the great
panic of 1873 , and became especially
memorable for the wreck and ruin it
wrought among thousands of the lending
business houses in America. The reef
upon which Jay Cooko's craft was
wrecked was the Northern Pacific. That
great financier had overloaded himself in
his effort to carry that great enterprise to
completion , and ho wont down with all
ho had accumulated in a life-time of suc
cessful banking. Just before the crash
Jay Cooke had built a palatial villa at
igontz , on ono of the Put-in-Bay islands
Like Erie. Upon this magnificent
onumontal pile he had lavished mil-
ions in classic marble and polished gran-
, o , in works of art , statuary and paint-
: ig and costly tapestry. Its hospitable
ortals had no sooner opened than they
ere closed by the sheriff. Jay Cooke
cut forth from his palace a ruined man.
A decade had hardly passed when the
ountry once more was shocked by a
rcat financial wreck upon the very roof
pen which Jay Cooke wits stranded ,
'ho ' Northern Pacific project had boon
akon up where Jay Cooke had loft it ,
, nd in the face of great obstacles it was
nally brought to completion by the ex-
irtions of another financier who enlisted
European capital in the enterprise. Un-
ko Jay Cooke , this man was not a
anker who had grown wealthy by the
ipprovod methods of banking. Henry
illard had sprung up almost like n
mushroom among the great Wall street
millionaires. Beginning lifo as a student
n a Gorman university , ho had drifted
.cross the Atlantic and aitor mastering
10 English language entered the arena
f journalism. During the war ho did
, ctivo and hazardous duty as war corroa-
ondcnt of the Now York , Chicago and
Cincinnati dailies. From 1808 to 1870
o was secretary of the American Social
cionco association. Four years later wend
nd him again on the other eido of
ho Atlantic , called there by the
Gorman owners of American railway so-
: uritios , who had written to him to in-
ostigato the condition of certain wcst-
rn roads which had defaulted in their
ntorcst following the failure of Jay
ooko. Ho returned to America as their
xua'tod representative to/ begin his fa-
iious career as a railroad man. Within
few years ho managed to become ro-
loivor of fie Kansas Pacific , and prosi-
lent of the Oregon & California railroad
nd of the Oregon steamship company.
Loss than iivo yoara ago ho organized the
Oregon & Navigation railway company ,
which was the first move toward the
union of the wheat and pasture country.
mst of the Cascade mountains , with the
Northern Pacific system. Three years
ago Yillard formed what was known on
Wall street as the "Blind Pool. " About
ixty millions of money were placed in his
hands by loading bankers without socur-
ty , save Ids personal rosoipt , and with-
ut definite knowledge as to his pur
poses. With this capital and his own ,
ho quietly bought a controlling interest
n the Northern Pacific stock , and was
,0011 , afterwards chosen president of the
lompany.
Last summer , when the golden spike
was driven on the Northern Pacific , Hen
ry Villard was rankrd among the great
men of the country. Not only did
America do him honor but Europe soul
representatives of her nobility and hoi
eading newspapers all the way across the
Atlantic and across the continent to take
part in the ovation to Villard's genius
and princely generosity.
Like Jay Cooke , Villard built a palace
while fct the zenith of his glory , ant
lavished millions in embellishing it witl
works of art. The palatial villa had
however , not boon quite completed whoi
the crash came that made Yillard i
wreck. Last Thursday Yillard made ai
assignment for the benefit of his credit
ors. To them ho transferred his property
orty and mansion , with instructions t <
dispose of thorn at public or private sale
His resignation as president of the Or
egon & Navigation railway company am
the Northern Pacific railroad had preceded
od the final collapse only a few days , am
the mighty railway king is now dethroned
od , although by no moans penniless. Hi
wife still owns five millions in go vorniuon
bonds , which will probably bo enough t
keep the wolf from poor Yillard's dooi
There are not perhaps in all financit
history more striking examples of fallo
greatness than Jay Cooke and Hour
Yillard.
Dit , McGuuuuuuY , agent o ! the Ro
Cloud Indiana , has written a long lottt >
to the secretary of the interior wit
reference to the charges that have boo
made about the methods by which the ni
sent of the Indians was scoured to th
Sioux treaty. He denies point Wan
that the Indians , either collectively o
individually , were bulldozed into signin
the treaty. Ho says if there was an
undue influence brought to bour , it w
on the part of these who opposed th ;
treaty. Neither was any deception prat
ticed as to the terms and effect of th
treaty.

KDWAllD LASKKll.
The sudden death of Edward Laskcr
caused a profound sorrow among Gor-
mini-speaking people on both aides of
the Atlantic. Edward Laskor has boon
a power in Germany for nearly twenty
years. Ho was eminently a great politi
cal loader , fearless , aggressive , and near
ly always a champion of the masses as
against the aggression of tyrranical aris
tocracy. His relations to a largo faction
in the German reichstag wore similar to
those hold by Charles Stewart Parnoll
towards the homo-micro and Irish repre
sentatives in the English parliament.
Edward Laskor'a career is very re
markable. Born in 1829 , In the pro
vince of Poson , in Prussia , ho received
a liberal education iu the schools of his
country. Ho entered the university and
engaged in the special studies of juris
prudence and mathematics. After leav
ing the university ho spent throe years
in England studying the English consti
tution and law , which laid the founda
tion for his knowledge of parliamentary
government.
Returning to his own country and lo
cating 'at Berlin ho was appointed in
185G to his first office under the Prussian
government. Being of Jewish descent ,
his crcod stood in the way of his promo
tion , and several pamphlets setting forth
his constitutional views , which ho pub
lished about that time , wore regarded as
revolutionary and put him in disfavor
with the Prussian oflicials. In 1805 ho
was elected a monibor from Berlin to the
Prussian house of deputies. This was
the beginning of hia eventful career in
public lifo. In 1808 ho was elected from
Magdeburg , and subsequently , when his
fame became national , ho was elected to
the North Gorman diet , and finally , after
the union of Germany and Prussia into
the German empire , ho was elected to
the Gorman diet. While ho was nerving
in the public capacity of representative
ho became quito eminent in Ilia profes
sion as an attorney.
At first Laskor's political conviction
allied him with the progressive party ,
but when the Franco-Prussian
war broke out , and it became
came evident that Bismarck's policy
aimed at the establishment of a united
Germany , Laskor became ono of the
founders of the national liberal party ,
which still has the majority in the par
liament. In the internal development of
the empire ho always championed the
cause of the people. Ho was a strict constructionist -
structionist of parliamentary law , and in
resisting all arbitrary exercise of power
by the government. When once ho had
taken position on any measure ho main
tained it , regardless of all opposition.
Even when ho agreed in the main with
the government ho often took issue with
it on questions of public policy. On all
important laws enacted witliin the past
ton years , especially on these concerning
trade and traflio , usury , imprisonment for
debt , ho exorcised a decisive influence.
What made him most popular in his
early parliamontrry triumphs was his at
tack on the ministry of commerce it
1873 , when ho directly attacked Emper
or William's cabinet and some of theprin-
cos. Since that memorable event Laskoi
has crossed swords with Bismarck on sev
eral occasions and sometimes to the dis
comfiture of the great chancellor. In
these contests Laskor frequently sacri
ficed his personal and professional inter
ests to what ho considered the public
good. And this fact , coupled with his
tact and masterly ability iu handling
great questions , made him a formidable
loader with a very largo popular follow
ing. His visit to America was mainly
for the purpose of acquiring a personal
knowledge of American institutions.
While in Washington ho received marked
attention at the hands of cabinet officers
and members of congress. His sudden
and premature death in a foreign land if
a sad ending to a brilliant career.

The long standing offer of Laramo (
county , Wyoming , of $300,000 in county
bonds to any railroad company upon
completion of 100 miles of road north
from Cheyenne , has boon accepted by the
Cheyenne , Black Hills & Montana rail-
oad company. Thcsn bonds were first
otod to the Union Pacific , but the coin-
any failed to comply with the conditions
ithin a certain time , and the commis-
.oners of the county were loft at liberty
vote the bonds to any other corpora-
ion. The agreement with the now com-
iany provides that it shall construct and
iut In operation 100 miles of road by
fovombor 1 , 1885 , and when so con-
tructod the company shall receive from
Laramie county § 300,000 in bonds , draw-
' ig (5 ( per cent interest.
The proposed railroad will atari from
ihoyonno and run northeasterly along
ho moat practicable route to the North
'latto river , thence there will bo ono
ranch northward to the Black Hills ,
Dakota , and a second branch to the most
desirable' point in the territory of Moil-
'ana , as shall bo determined by survey

"ont.The
The advantages of thoroadtoOhoyenno
, nel Wyoming generally arc numerous
, nd important. It will facilitate the do-
olopmont of the coal and mineral intor-
sts of the northern portion of the tern
ary by providing rapid transportation for
ho products. The immense atock inter-
3sts tributary to the line will furnish a
: onstantly increasing business for the
wmpany , and _ agricultural communities
, vill spring up in the valleys as soon as a
narkct is made for the products. The
: onstruction of the road will prove the
nest important and beneficial work un
dertaken in the territory since the build-
"ng of the Union Pacific.
The building of the Northern Pacific
oad through Montana has brought about
\ contest between the iron horse civiliza-
ion and the free and frolicsome steer
unchers of the foothills and valleys.
The formalities and restraints of the
iost are a menace to the liberties horoto-
! ere enjoyed by the lariatoera , and a ware
, o the death is being waged between the
two extremes , The stage coach and the
bull trains have boon practically banished
and the forolorn cowboy is loft to pivo
battle to the advancing hordes. The
, own of Livingston , on the Yellowstone ,
Is the center of the struggle at the pres
ent time. An eastern theatrical company
gave an entertainment there , recently ,
and received nn introduction , though
somewhat brief , to a trio of cowboys and
their cayusos. Soon after the doors woio
opened they rode up to the boxoflico ,
purchased and paid for three ticket and
then coolly informed the manager thai
they proposed to ride up to the front seal
in the show. They all made a dash for
the door and ono of them entered , much
to the dismay of the audience , but as the
town constable , whoso avoirdupois ia nol
losa than 300 pounds , happened to be
among the patrons of the company thai
night , ho quietly arose in hia seat , pullet
a six-shooter with a barrel as long aa c
shot-gun , leveled it at the cowboy's hcac
and told him in tones which drowned the
music of the cornet solo that ho woulc
give five seconds for the intruder to skip.
The cowboy dismounted and quickly lee
his horse into the open air , where , meet
ing his two confederates , the trio rode
off and entered a saloon on horseback
where they employed the evening ii
jumping their animals over the billian
table for the drinks.
Helena , the capital city , ia the marvel
of Montana. Few cities in this country
have boon so substantially built up witl
out outside help aa has Helena. Completely
plotoly isolated from the states , aurroun
dod by towering mountains and with IK
rail communication from its birth til
August last , she has built up an immense
business , amassed wealth and establishei
all the institutions of civilized society
Helena is to-day probably the wealthies
city of its size in the country. Her foui
national banks have an aggregate deposit -
posit of over 8-1,000,000. Some of hoi
merchants carry stocks of § 225,000. I
is claimed that there are 50 men in
Helena who have an income of $10,000 o
year. Her churches and school build
ings compare favorably with othoi
towns of seven thousand inhabitants
She has a fine opera house with seating
capacity of 1,200. The United State !
assay ollico' located there is a model o
substantial architecture. This oflicoit if
eaid , assays moro gold than any othci
ollico in the United States excepting
only the Now York office. There ha
boon taken out within the limits of tin
town plat of Helena over § 10,000,000 o
gold , and oven yet gold is being ininoi
within the city limits. The business portion
tion of the city is built in Last Chano
Riilch ( probably the richest placer min
ing gulch'evor discovered ) and the street
are narrow and irregular. The Northon
Pucifio company have located their dope
and shops out on a broad plain , About
mile from the business portion of th
town , expecting , or at least hoping t
draw the business of the city in that d :
rootioa. As yet Helena has never bee
boomed , like most western towns ; ho
growth has boon and is substantial am
solid.
Governor Halo , of Wyoming , in his rupert
port to the secretary of the interior , pro
sonta a variety of statistics to show th
growth and prosperity of that territory
The population is estimated at 35,000
more than one-half of which is in town
on the Union Pacific and its branchea
Stock raising is , of course , the chief in
dustry. There ore at present 800,001
head of cattle , valued at $30,000,000
grazing in the plains and valleys , am
750,000 cheep , valued at 82,800,000. Tlu
amount of land adapted to cultivation i
estimated at 8,000,000 acres , Farming
how9vor , ia a very limited industry yet
the great drawback baing irrigation Th (
average rainfall is only ono-fourth thai
of the Mississippi valley , and nrtificia
methods must be employed to secure auf
flciont moisture for a crop. Tlu
Governor's report saya : The prcciou
and superior motalg are found widely dis
tributod over Wyoming. The mines arc
not far dovqloped us a iulo , ami the out
iiit of bullion is inconsiderable , Gold
as been fonnd in the Wind river , Somi-
iolo , Shoshone , Medicine Bow , Laramie ,
nd other ranges of m untains. Silver
aa been found in the Snowy range of
10 sources of the Green nyor , In the
mountains near Cummins City , in the
ills on the Plalto river above Fort Lara-
mo , at lUwhido Buttes , and on the
limning Water. Copper is found at
iany places in the Medicine Bow , Semi-
ole and Ferris mountains , near
lawlins , in the Lnramio range ,
Hartsvillo , Whalen canyon , llaw-
ido , Running Water , and numerous
thor districts. Mines have been dovol-
nod with great promise at Silver Crown ,
lartvillo find Kawhido. Iron lies in
10 Laramie range north of Laramie
'ity ' , at Rawlins , in the Seminole moun-
ains and elsewhere. As yet thorp have
ecu no manufactures. Graphite is
ounil in the hills north of Laramie City
nd northwest of Fcrt Laramic. Sul-
hur is found in larjjo bodies south of
] vanston. Soda is in "lakes" near Lar-
nlo City and in Sweotwatcr valley. In
oth locolitios the deposits are about to
0 utilized in manufactures. Common
alt of excellent quality is found in the
norRanizcd county of Crook , west of
10 Black Hills. Magnesia is found near
lock Crook. Fire-clay is found in many
ocalitios. Mica is found in the moun-
Una northwest of Fort Laramie and in
Albany county. Coal in vast quantities
1 found in almost every part of the ter-
itory , the veins being from four to forty
oot in thickness. A great deal ia taken
ut annually by the Union Pacific coin-
any. Petroleum of the boat lubricat-
ug kind ia found in largo Quantities in
lie central parts of the territory. Gran
ts , marble , limestone , sandstone and
late are found in great variety. "
With the building of railroads , the
urvcys of which in some instances have
eon begun and iu others completed , it
s certain that Wyoming ia about to outer
upon a now era of progress. While ad-
anco has been made in the past chiefly
n connection with the construction of
ho Union Pacific railroad , through a
lart of the territory probably the least
ttractivo in its material resources , and
vith live stock grazing , interest growing
apidly , the future givca promise of great
irospority.
I'crtlncnc Questions.
'o the Editor of Tim Urn.
BRLVUE , Neb. , January 3 , 1884. In
o-day's Republican I notice in ita odi-
orial columns a letter conccrningrailroad
extortions , and comment , as made by the
editor of that concern , stating that The
Republican wanted to get at the truth of
.ho business. Now , I have a few quoationa
, o propound to that establishment , and a
urther curiosity to know whether they
will evade them in the same inconsider-
ito manner as they have the gentleman
Tom Tokamah. To bo brief :
1. Why can a merchant secure a car
load of freight cheaper from Baltimore ,
VId. , to Omaha , than from Omaha to
Sidney , in this state.
2. Why is it merchants of Pappillion
and Springfield can haul their freight
cheaper by wagon than by the U. P. and
. ! p. railroads ?
3. What is the reason the B. & M.
will not rociovo freight for intermediate
stations along its line when shipped by
way of the Missouri Pacific to Louis
ville ?
4. Why is it some grain dealers can
obtain a rate one-third off , when others
iavo to pay _ the fixed price ?
5. Why ia it they withhold amounts
duo the various road districts , and place
it in the hands of men who thus get fat ,
on this new method of working out rail
road road-tax ?
C. What is the reason the last legisla
ture didn't take up this railroad question
and handle it for the benefit oi the
people ?
7. Why do , congressmen , judges , edit
ors and members of the legislature ride
on annuals ?
8. Can you inform the people of Ne
braska why it is there is not ono cent of
taxes collected on over 400 miles of side
track in this state ?
! ) . Do you know why it costs moro to
send a bushel of corn from Albion ,
Bpono * county , to Omaha , about 151
miles , than it doea from Omaha to Chicago
cage , nearly COO milea ?
10. Why is it , the railroads run the
politics of the western counties througl
which their road pasiea ?
11.hy wua it they discharged a
number of their conductois and left a
foul odor around their names , then to
turn around and make the biggest thiol
among them a railroad superintendent ?
12. Why is it they control state con
ventions by the aid of their henchman ,
and allow John M. Thurston and Chas.
J. Greene to assume who shall bo the
successful men ? O.SOAU KEYSKR.
