other for Illinois suckora in the Honne-
pin canal.
WILL the petroleum senator from
Ohio now draw the bung out of his
Standard barrel for the nomination of
Governor Hoadloy to the presidency , or
will ho become a candidate himself ?
SENATOR VAM WVOK struck it rich
when ho asked for the bills of the star

stand why the Doraoy and Brady triala
were dragged along at such a snail pace.
ACOOUDJNO to the Chicago Zrl&unc the
Nebraska senators have asked the presi

had probably called on the president be
fore they heard from Nebraska.
HENRY B. PAYNB , the now Ohio sena

gensrally undorstcod at Cincinnati that
ho intends to resign before the end of F
Governor Hoadloy's term in the interest t
of John A. McLean , the proprietor of the
Cincinnati Enquirer. That explains in
some degree why McLean made such a

DOWN go the wages of the Pennsylva
nia minors up goes the price of anthra
cite coal. Orders \roro recently issued
by the anthracite coal monopoly for half
time work during the first three months
of the year. This is calculated to give
the minors the impression that the mar
ket is overstocked , which is not true ,
and that the cpmpanica cannot afford to
consider any question of an advance in
wages , and also to shorten the supply seas
as to hold up prices. It is said by those
who are familiar with the conditions of
the business that coal might bo profitably
retailed in Philadelphia at throe dollars
per ton , if mining were conducted under
the operations of legitimate business
methods , iuitoadof being controlled by a
monopolizing combination.

THK CONDITION" OF TOADS.
The old year closed with a very de
cided depression in trade and a rather
gloomy outlook for commercial and in
dustrial enterprise in the near future. It
is too early in the now year to form con
clusive opinions regarding the course of
trade and prospect for industrial activ
ity. The largo number of failures , the
heavy shrinkage in securities have moro
or loss demoralized business men and
capitalists at trade centres. Over-pro-
dnction has closed many factories and
compelled many others to reduce time
and wages. That there is some possi
bility of an early increase in the demand
for goods is shown by a moro active in
quiry , since the year opened , for various
kinds of commodities. This has not yet
resulted in much increase in the volume
of business , but it indicates that pur
chases are contemplated , and if there
could bo an assurance that there
would bo no further depreciation in val
ues , business would soon ossumo a moro
encouraging aspect. Prices are now very
low for most lending articles of prime
necessity. Sugar is cheaper than it haa
boon for years ; coffee , although it has
advanced largely from the extremely low
prices current last summer , ia not high
compared with former years ; pork and
Jrrd are lower than a year ago ; the lower
grades of flour are selling at moderate
prices , and oven the higher grades-
qualities bettor than were over produced
until within a few years are not dear ;
wheat , oats and barley are lower , while
corn and rye are not much higher than
a year ago.
Of the raw materials iron and wool are
lower , and cotton is not much higher ,
while all articles made from thorn are
selling at largely reduced prices. Simi
lar conditions exist regarding moat other
commodities. This state of the markets
suggests that prices are generally cheap
enough for a aubatantial basis to work
upon not for speculative ventures ,
which frequently practically ignore in
trinsic values but for legitimate trading
oporationa.
There is , however , one redeeming fea
ture in the retrospect of the past year ,
which mitigated the disasters , and ia the
ground for hope of a moro speedy recu
peration than would otherwise bo possi
ble , and that is the strength of our finan
cial system. Had there boon any doubt
of the soundness of our paper money circu
lation , or the solvency of the banks , there
would hare boon a general panic , from
which it would have taken several years
to recover. There have boon a few
failurps of banks , but probably not moro
than the average in moro prosperous
years wo have soon no comparative ata-
tiatics upon this point and although
many sound financial institutions
have lost some money , their busi
ness , generally speaking , has boon psofit-
able , their earnings exceeding their
losses , so that there is no impairment of
their ability to pay dividonda ; many of
the failures among the banks wore duo ,
not to any lack of business nor to losses
occurring in legitimate banking opera
tions , but to unfaithfulness on the part
of officers or employes , who speculated
with and lost the funds which they should
have doomed as sacred. Every business
man knows the important place a bank
holds in the facilitation of the business
and exchanges of the country , and the
fact that they are sound and prosperous ,
and that the circulating medium is un
questionably good under any circum
stances , must exert an assuring and salu
tary influence upon now business pro
jects.
STUPID SLANDK1U3.
When the Hastings Gazette-Journal
started its daily iaauo , it received from
TUB BKE the most Watering compliments ,
and no paper in or out of the state made
a moro tolling appeal in its behalf to the
people of Hastings than did Tire BEE.
In return for our generous treatment wo
have received nothing but personal \
slander , malicious libel and unstinted
abuse , Masquerading as an honest
and independent republican paper ,
with anti-monopoly tendencies , the
Gazette-Journal has mod ? its special
Tir
buainoaa to echo every contemptible slur
and infamous falsehood that emanates in
the monopoly proas against Tire BEI : and
its editor. Its latest attempt to prejudice
iiis
dice the pcnplo of Hastings is the ro-
isid
publicatiun of a stupid canard concocted
by a sot who publishes an lo
blackmailing sheet in Omaha. It is
nothing loss than the pretended oxpoauro
of TUB BEK as the purchased organ of an
alleged asphalt ring , which is said
to have paid $3,000 for the
BEE'S influence. This story is about as
isc
truthful as the charge which the Gazette-
Journal published last summer , alleging
that the editor of TUB BBB was , during
ho war , an active rebel sympathizerwho
took care to avoid the dangers of war 10y >
staying at homo. Wo haven't teen fit to
oven notice the impudent ,
absurd , and libellous innuendo
made by the Omaha Shoo-fly ,
Ftof
because in this community the stand of
TUB BEB in opposing public improvement
rings is unassailable , audits position with
rogurd to paving is well understood. If
the asphalt company had given $3,000 to
Tire BEE , , the asphalt company would
not bo foolish enough to lot any outsider
know it , because it would bo throwing >
its money away by advertising that it
had bought this paper. If purchased ,
its influence in behalf of asphalt would
be worthless , so soon at the fact became
known. As puittttof f q Tun BKB :
hod advocated grunito in preference to
asphalt. Tun BEK publishing company ,
which owns forty-four foot on Furnam (
street , has signed for granite through its
editor. On the very day that this charge
was made by the Irresponsible shoot in
Omaha , TUB BBB had an article call
ing attention to the cracks in
the asphalt pavement and stating that
the cold weather would bo a fair teat of
the durability of asphalt But the Hastings -
ings paper , which is the organ of Con
gressman Laird , imagines that it has
cleared him from the Stinking Water
job by publishing the asphalt libel on
THE BEK. Even if it were all true it has
no bearing on Laird's relations to the
land-grabbing scheme. Right hero Jot us
say further that TUB BEE has not malic
iously invented charges against Mr.
Laird. They were made by a govern
ment official , in a high position , and that
officer is not a Nebraskan nor in any way
interested in our politics.
TUB most sensible suggestion for the
relief of Lieutenant Grooloy and his
parly is made by George Konnan , of
Washington. Mr. Konnan was one of
the telegraphers employed by Captain
Bulkloy in constructing the overland tcl-
graph to Europe by way of Bohring
straits and Siberia. Ho acquired much
valuable experience about the Polar reg
ions in Alaska and northern Siberia , and
lias made many excellent auggeationa dur
ing the search for the survivors of the
Joannotto. Mr. Konnan now suggests
the most effective and speedy means for
the relief of the Grcoloy party , that the
government offer a largo reward to the
whalers which sail in Arctic waters for
the rescue and safe transportation homo
of Grcoloy and his men. This strikes us
as very practical. The public have not
much faith in the success of any govern-
niont expedition that may bo sent aut ,
for reasons which it is not necessity to
advert to. Experience in that line has
not been such as to inspire confidence.
But with the whalers it is different.
They are hardy , well equipped and well
aquainted with the region their search
would take thorn into. They are numer
ous , and with the hope of largo reward
and the rivalry it would produce to earn
it , there would bo ncarcoly a doubt but
that aomo one of their vessels would find
the explorers.
TUB cow-boy has been successfully
transplanted from the wild west to the far
east :
Providence , It , L , has n gang of "cow
boys , " who are such n terror to people at
the north end of the city that a woman
beaten on the streets by some of
them doesn't dare give their name to
the police. ' *
WEST OF THE MISSOURI.
The crop of Annual Reviews has boc.n
uncommonly largo throughout the west
the present season. The growth and
progress of the country during the past
year certainly entitled it to the immor
tality of print. The Salt Lake Tribune
leads the list with a 12-pago 10-column
review of the industries of Utah , Idaho
and Montana , covering in detail the min
eral camps and growing young cities of f
each. Most of the articles were prepared -
pared by exports in the different indus
tries described , supported by a bewil
dering array of statistics. The Denver
Tribune and Rocky Mountain News dis
played their usual enterprise in issuing
double shoots with carefully prepared
data of the growth of the centennial
stato. The Cheyenne Sun followed with
an assortment of mineral , agricultural
and stock-raising utatistics that would
almost appal a native. The Intcr-
Mountain , of Butte , illustrated the at
tractions of the "silver city" in a hand
some holiday edition , elegantly printed
on heavy paper , It is a most creditable
work and deserves a wide circulation
among all classes ,
The enterprise of the western press is
a true indor to the growth of the conn-
try. It can bo sot down as a modern
truism that the papers of every town are
the mirror of the town's condition. A
pushing , growing town or city is certain
to possess well printed and well edited
newspapers. The reverse of this will
produce a similar condition in the press.
Though loss than a score of Nycars have
passed since habitation was possible in
the valleys and foothills of the Rocky
mountains , the growth of the country
lias boon no loss wonderful than the
growth of the press. Take Denver , for
instance. The newspapers of that city
are equal to-thoao m eastern cities
with double the population. Cheyenne ,
Laramie , Ogden , and Salt Lake City
support two daily papers each , and their
energy and friendly rivalry shows to a
gratifying degree a steadily increasing
patronage at their back. The press of
Montana strongly roiloct the rapid growth
of the country. Helena supports two
dailies of opposite politics , and Butte and
Benton likewise , In the former city the
dailies weio forced to enlarge no lens
than three Atmes the past year to supply
the demands of advertisers and keep pace
with the increased facilities for news.
The press of Helena possess a peculiar as
well as pecuniary advantage over their
neighbors. The rivalry of St. Paul and
Portland merchants for trade on the
Northern Pacific makes advertising by
both a necessity to secure a permanent
footing. And they take to printers' ink
like all shrewd business men , with a
liberality that is highly commendable ,
In mountain-locked Idaho , every now
strike in her Bold-mounted ribs as well
as every scandal and shooting scrape , ia
heralded in 8x12 dailies published in
towns of loss than ono thousand popula
tion. Some two months ago the town of
Coldwoll was mapped out , by railroad
men , on the Oregon Short Line , and yet
the ink had hardly dried on the parch
ment before a printing outfit was planted
there and a paper iaauod. Instances of
this kind could bo multiplied without
limit. This shows the great work of the
western press in the upbuilding of the
country. No town or city can do with
out ono or more ; no families can prosper
without ono , and the business man who
does not patronize thorn soon falls a prey
to sheriffs and assignees.
The recent mooting of the Cattle
Growers' association , of Colorado , was
productive of much good to that great
and growing business , and furnished a
variety of information as to its present
extent and prospects. The number of
cuttle in the state is estimated ai the
enormous total of 2,000,000 , valued at
§ 00,000,000. The cattle are scattered
over thirty-four counties , but the greater
number are to bo found in Elbert , Weld ,
Bent , Las Animas and Arapahoe coun
ties. There are seventeen round up dis
tricts , whoso associations moot twice a
year , and a state association which holds
annual meetings. A largo _ number of
the regulations of thcso associations have
boon incorporated as laws into the
statute , books of tha state , among them
those providing for state cattle inspectors
and round-up commissioners. Thcso of
ficials are appointed by the governor , at
the suggestion and recommendation of
the state association. The board of state
inspectors consists of five prominent cattle
tlo mon , and the round-up commission
ers consist of three from each district.
Their duties are to sco to it that all the
state laws are enforced and association
rules obeyed in their several districts ,
and to have a general supervision of the
subjects of round-ups , branding of calves
and gathering and transporting bcof.
The cattle in Colorado are owned by
about 300 men who have in their em
ployment perhaps three thousand herders
to care for thorn. The wages of those
mon average from § 35 to $10 per month ,
and board , and for foremen § 100 to $125
per month. The number of mon required
to care for the herds varies in proportion
according to the size of the herd. Ono
of 20,000 would require about twenty-
two hordors,10,000 about fifteen herders ,
5,000 about ton herders , 2,500 about
seven herders , and 1,000 about four
herders , so that the larger herd entails
less cxponso proportionately than the
smaller ones. Tim total cost of herding
20,000 or upwards per head is 50 cents
per year , 10,000 and upwards 75 cents ,
and a lesi number $1 per head.
A number of improved | breeds are being -
ing crossed with Texas stock , and the re
sults are always satisfactory. These [ in
clude the Poll Angus , Short horns and
Galawnys. Whilst the increase in Texas
is greater than it is in Colorado , the qual
ity of beef raised in the state in superior
and the cattle heavier than those of the
former state.
Although the sizes of the ranges in the
state vary greatly , still it is given as a
rule by the most experienced cattle mon
that on average of twenty acres po head
should bo retained for their maintenance.
The Snake River valley promises to
become the garden spot of Idaho , while
the river bed is rich in gold and .other
mineral. The experimental farming of
last year showed the country to bo un
usually productivo. A correspondent of
The Salt Lake Tribune writes : Moro
than 500 settlers have located ranches
this year. All that has boon raised is
wanted for seed , and that will not give
us half enough. The valley . about Eagle
Rock is well watered. Tlio Canal comc
pany alone have made moro than sixty
miles of waterway. In a distance of
about ton miles above Eagle Rock the
canal has four different outlets into the
river. { lalf of this sixty miles of watere
way has boon added the past
year. The land is free open to
all at government price and it is good ;
40 bushels of wheat , 00 to 70 of oats , to
the acre. There is no bettor country for
farming and none better for selling farm
products. The Snake River gravel mines
are simply immense ! Three men this
year , working together , took out over
§ 4,000 each. Next year they _ will make
$5,000 to the man. Everything is ready
for them to shovel in the dirtnoxt spring ,
as soon as the gravel thaws. Last spring
they had everything to prepare. . It was
then an experiment ; it is now a certainty ,
Two largo raining companies have been
organized , respectively in St. Paul and
Chicago , to work mining claims some
four miles above town. Individuals and
( groups of two or three have staked off
claims for miles along the river bank. A
lively stampede to the Toton mountain
country is expected as soon as the snow
disappears. Some ore was brought down
from there last November , which assayed
§ 10,000 to the ton. The rock is manga
nese , similar to that about Butto.
There is now a strong probability that
the noted Siberian traveler of Omaha
will lese the laurel wreaths which the
house of Romanoff had prepared and
pickled for him. Less than a year ago
there was a hope , amounting almost to a
certainty , that Omaha , linked with his
name and fast gathering fame , would fol
low his trail through Alaska , to Barrows
point , bridge the straits of Bohring , then
up * the Amoor river and down the Anadir ,
across the barren steppes of Central Rus
sia , until the shores of the Baltic would
re-echo the familiar sound. But f ate and
funds were fickle and the rare opportu
nity was lost forever , maha's Mun-
chauson , however , can live to read and
write of the fame which others leas wor
thy are now reaping. A party by the
name of Johnson has evolved the gigan
tic scheme to connect by rail not only
Russia , but carry the iron
links down through Alaska and
California to Mexico. The capital is put
at § 200,000,000 , divided into shares of
§ 10 each. The company propose to
utilize the latent power of the Rocky
mountains as a motive power , and dis
pense entirely with locomotives. Each
car will bo supplied with coils of heavy
springs , which are wound up , BO to
speak , by the descent of the car. Thus
the momentum of the car is chocked by
the resistance of the springs , and sufli-
cient power is stored up to drive the
wheels up the next incline , loss only the
amount of loss by friction. Thus , like Na
poleon and his army , passengers will go
up the hill and then come down again ,
until they strike a Mexican greaser or a
Russian boar.
The town of Carbon , Wyoming , can
boast of two strongly marked character
istics the coal minor and the cowboy.
The confinement of the former and the
freedom of the latter generally balance
on Sunday , when they promenade in
gangs and envelope the town with cosmic
dust But this is mainly duo to a super
abundance of spirit , bodily and bottled ,
and disappears with the dawn of Mon-
There are at present three mines in
operation at Carbon , owned by the Union
Pacific. The mines have boon opened
less than three yean , and the workings
are not yet very extensive. The mines
employ nearly COO men and the output
averages about 100 car loads per day.
The cattle interest is second in import
ance The country is broken and hilly ,
providing excellent protection , and ia said
to bo unsurpassed as a winter rango.
Nearly fifty herds of cattle , sheep and
horses are grazed in that vicinity. The
town contains about 1,000 people at tin's
season of the year , and is growing steadi
ly in wealth and population.

LONO PINK , Nob. , January 8. Your
correspondent arrived in Long Pine Sun
day morning and took quarters at the
ig Pine house , a neat two story frame
uildingcontainingsomosevcntcon rooms
n nil , and presided over by H. J. Sovor-
ice , Esq.
Long Pine is beautifully situated on
10 cast bank of the Long Pine creekhas
population of about 300 , and is located
i the geographical center of Brown

* ino Journal , a bank , grocery , drug , dry

arns , two saloons , lumber yard , hotel ,
to. , Ac. There is great rivalry between
liis town and the town above , Ainsworth.
lut it appears to au uninterested ob-
orver , that Ainsworth possesses the most
o-ahcad spirit of the two , '
Three years ago Brown county was a
art of the unorgani/.cd territory , and
noccupicd government land ; but when
lie Sioux City & Pacific railroad extend-
d their line up the Elkhorn valley , the
omcptcador followed , until now the
ntirlo is dotted with frame and sod
louses in every direction , and the coun-
ry is pretty well settled up. The soil in
his portion of the state is a dark , sandy
oam , with much moro sand than is found
n the southern and eastern part of the
a tato. The citizens , although hot having
ho vim and push , as compared to other
owns , are intelligent , sober and indus
rious , and all kinds of business are well
oprcscntcd.
The Long Pine crook is a most remark'
able little stream , -which ilows by the
own. Although it has its beginning
) nly five or six miles south of town , it
courses by the village at the rate of seven
miles an hour , is about twenty-five feet
wide and three feet deep , and of the
most soft spring water making ono of
.ho finest mill-power streams the writer
over saw. Rains or sudden thaws do
lot cause it to overflow , and I am told it
las never been known to freeze over. A
> olt of natural timber , about one-fourth
> f a milein vridth , extends along its
> anks , affording ample fuel and fence
) osts. The principal trees are pine , red
c icdar , oak , black walnut and elm. Wood
I a delivered in town for $3 per cord , red
cedar posts ( which are becoming scarce )
at fifteen cents each. Long ago this
stream used to bo the favorite trapping
e round for trappers , and there are still
many beavers inhabiting it. The con
struction of their dams , of which wo saw
several , are really masterpieces of mechanism
chanism , showing the wonderful in-
jcnuity of this little animal. Above the
railroad bridge are the wonderful seven
springs , which would wo\l \ repay the cu
riosity-seeker for his trouble and pains in
visiting them.
Mr. I. H. Skinner , one of the first set
t ters , is still residing in his old-timo log
1 louse on the banks of the Pine , just
west of town , and ho tolls of many quaint
and lively experiences ho has had with
t ; he redskins of long ago. Ho has dropped
t ; ho rifle and trap , his old companions in
r irma , and is now ono of the loading
1 lardwaro merchants of the town.
The Niobrara river passes through the
northern part of the county from west
to cast , and Plum creek through the
northwest , both being well timbered.
Aa ono proceeds up the valley , however ,
the soil gets moro sandy , and in some
places drifts like snow.
The weather is generally very cold in
the northern part of the state all reports
to the contrary , and at this writing is ex
tremely cold , and very little outdoor
work is being done. There is still govern
ment land to bo had here near town , and
parties wishing information can got it by
writing to Charles R. Glover , president
of the Brown county bank , whom the
writer knows to bo reliable and not apt
to mislead any one , which is so often the
case in getting information from now
towns.
THE BEE predominates hero among
the Omaha papers , and , as usual , is vrell
liked. The news agent down the road
informed mo that ho sells twice the num
ber of BKES that ho does of any other
paper. COLONEL JAMES.
About eighty of the 280 members of the
Massachusetts legislature have expressed
themselves to The lioston Advertiser in favor
of applying the principles of civil service re
form to state and city government. The other
200 are still silent , but they will soon discover
that sitting astride the fence in this kind of
weather isn't the easy , comfortable position
which some inexperienced folks take it to bo.
