THE question which interests the gos sips of the country is whether the death of .Miss Folsom's graiulf.ithcr will post pone that expected marringo. AI.DF.UMAN JAUIINE , of Now York , goes to Sing Sing for nine years and ten months , Otlier aldermen uro likely to follow stilt. It will bo a striped suit. THE press of Chicago is hauling Mayor Harrison over the coals. It is a , very lively roasting that ho is getting , and the indications are that it will bo ] a very hot summer for him. AN-insano man recently attempted to exhibit liimsolftaa " a statue in the capitol at Washington" Ho must have made Vinnio lictun's monstrosities green with envy. THE plucky agent ut Pine Ilidge insist ed oil standing his ground and courted re moval , sooner than to yield a point which ho felt convinced was in the interests of peace and quluton the frontier. A CHICAGO 'as'company is offering to furnish tlruroity and its-citizens with gas at 05 cents per thousand'foot. ' It is slow ly beginning to dawn upon people that there is a largo margin of profit in gas ercn at f 1.50 a thousand.

Whether or not the republican party is yearning for another candidacy of the man from Mtuno is a different question , which only the next nominating convention can decide. But unless signs fail , the friends of the de feated nominee will briskly push his claims for recognition as Grover Cleve land's SUCCQSSOI. PUIKCU KitAi'OTKiNB regards the labor crisis in this country substantially the flame as it is in Europe. This will bo rgi ceivccl with n broad grin by America laborot-b. especially by * lies < ) -tfU mivo " ' enrigratca. ft Ihts"countvytrom 'abroad lortnj ) the benefits of American institu tions. A country where every laborer can cast his vote for laboring men for office , where the ballot of a workingruan la as heavy as that of a millionaire , whore property can bo acquired nnd hold and where the majority rules , is o far different from those whore wealth , caste and tyranny rule the djiy , that there is no ground for comparIson - t Ison , especially in regard to the interests and condition of the working classes. Anarchism flourishes abroad bee auso violent lent revolutions alone can break down the political , social and economic bar riers which law and custom have for con- * iurles boon erecting between the poor ' and the rich. In free America tlio peaceful ballot can accomplish raoro than the anarchists' bomb. It is be cause American worklngmon know U''at thov hold a moro powerful ronisdy for tholr wrongs that the f.iosts and Krapotklnes and Parsons and Fioldings fall to exercise tnuuh influence in this country. . TUB siuno point involved in Judge ' Browc'r's Kansas decision that the state must pay damages done to brewing and distilling interest ) ! by the operation of a prohibitory law is now raised in Uhodo Island , whore a prohibition umendmant lias recently been adopted , Tlio ball 1ms been sot in motion already by tlio intio- dilution of a petition to the supreme court for the abrogation of the amend ment , on the ground of tlio payment of registry taxes by others than actual voters. Several brewers , too , propose to test the validity of the amendment , claiming that , as this addition to the fundamental law ruins their business aud wakes tholr special buildings and ma chinery worthless , it is virtually a viola tion of that portion of the constitution of the United States which provides that property shall not bo taken without com pensation. This question will be definitely settled by the United States tfuprcmo court soiuo three years after tlio nso roaches the overcrowded docket , > DUB is the averago'tiuio which it takes to btnin a decision from the highest federal eourt , unless the question involved is pf uch importance tluit the beuqhgivoslt precedence , to tins disadvantage of other witors who-have been wailing for their turn. Tlio Cause of Depression. In the first annual report of the national - al labor bureau , the commissioner , Carrel rol D. Wright , has nhown his surpassing fitness for tlio office which ho holds , It is doubtful if so full and clear a summary of the 'labor trials and troubles of our day has bo f ore been made , In submit ting his report Mr. Wright reminds Sec retary Lamar that the object of the bu reau's work during its first year , as nprccd upon between them , was to col lect information relative to industrial de pressions , their causes nnd character , in this and other countries , in order to got a body of facts which would enable the bureau to deal intelligently with symp toms of disturbance tlmt might appear hereafter. Thu commissioner , in the vol ume before us , 1ms carried out this rather ambitious programme with an admir able degree of success. Doginning with 1837 , wo uro given a careful history of strikes , look-outs , strifes aud "hard times" generally , not only in this coun try , but in Great Britain , Franco , Bel gium and Germany. Sir. Wright considers llieso manufactur ing nations as a croup , nnd finds that they arc at present "sitllering from in dustrial depression novel in its kind " In all there bus been the usual volume of business , but without the usual profit. "Over production" is the foundation of the troubleand this ovc rproduction , Mr. Wright finds , prevails in all alike without regard to wide and radical dltlcrcnccs existing in systems of trade and com merce. The cause of over production , according to the labor commissioner , lies in the new ly aroused ambition of nations to produce , joined to a disposition to shut their home markets to competition under a protect ive policy. As a natural consequence they restrict the sale of their productions to the homo market with the result of loading the market with the products of their labor. This in turn compels de creased production , lowered prices for labor , and industrial depression. Mr. Wright's views will probably c\- cite a good deal of controversy , but his arguments are based oil several hundred pages of carefully collected statistics which will have to bo overthrown before the position of the author can bo suc cessfully assailed. The Jewel of Consistency. While the business manager of the re publican railroad organ is in Washing ton lobbying for the bill to enable the Union Pacific to use its credit in build ing branch lines , the editor takes great delight in reprinting assaults on Senator Van Wyck for introducing tlio bill. In other words , the business manager is lobbying for the Union Pacific at the ex pense of the Union Pacific while the edi tor is flinging dirt for the Union Pacific at the expcnso'of the Union Pacific. The services of ono are about as valuable as those ot the other. The influence which the manager can exert upon the committee by his eloquence will have about us much weight as the influence which the editor will exert by las back handed attacks. It is only in keeping with the course of tlio rotten and leaky bulk which has subsisted upon sub sidies and has becn _ sailing without rud der or pilot for so'veral years past. Van Wyck didn't oxpcot to got any thanks from that quarter when ho ven tured to carry out the wishes of a largo portion of his constituents. There is about as much consistency in his treatment since ho has introduced the board of trade bill as there is in the New York Tribune limes at Tipton which are approvingly reproduced in Omaha by the railroad sheet. Referring to senatorial reelections tions in Nebraska the New York Tribune says that "the people of this state seem to dislike sending their senators back to Washington a second time. They did it only once in the case of T. W. Tipton who in those days was a republican , but is now recorded as a democrat of the vin tage of ' 73. " 'Tho vintage of ' 73" was the product of the Now York Tribune , which prides itself moro on being founded by tioraco Grooloy than upon being maintained since by Jay Gould and old father-in-law Mills. The anti Y a Wyckliterary bo- rai"\.Vnich \ llflaJt * kcounuarters juthb ICTmto QQmmlttoo on printing , has doubt less Inspired the Tribune with malicious flings , but its reference to the "vintage of-72" is a little out of place in the paper founded by lloraoo Grooley. No Bloro Fooling , There is no further excuse for Mayor Boyd in witholding any longer the ap pointment of a building inspector. lie lias attempted to trade with couucilmon for votes to remove Marshal Cummings. Failing to gain his point he declines to make uuy nomination for building inspector specter and loaves the city with no one to enforce and carry out tlio building or- ; dinunco. _ This thing has gone far enot h. it is now the duty of the oomxo 'I'to take teps to carry out the jvi Ts ol the people which the mayo 'porsista in disregarding. If the mp < or refuses to make the prosun.t building ordinance operative ( ho council should repeal the old ordi nance and pass a now ono which will make the building inspector an assistant of the city engineer or of some other department already created. The position would then become on employment and not an appointment. If the mayor vetoes such an ordinance it should bo promptly passed over his veto , The city is growing BO rapidly that the need of an inspector grows stoudily moro pressing. Wo are erecting the most dangerous lire traps within the lire limits and laying tlio foundation for a great conflagration which' may destroy some of the best and most costly build ings in the city sooner or later. The mayor's actions are not in the direction of the material interest of the city , lie is either trying very hard to build up a political machine , or has a personal grudge against the. marshal , which the council is not disposed to gratify. The longer ho waits with tlio appointment the moro applicants he gets , and the moro disgust ho will create when ho does make his pick. Wo want , of course , a compe tent building inspector , who will give his entire time to the service , and there Is plouty of such material available. THU hair-brained lunatics iu Omaha , who howl down all rjvor improvements on grounds of pretended economy hhould take u walk along Omaha's river Iront and thou compare the defenceless condi- t6n with' 'the substantial rip-rap work which protects Kansas City from the en- croachmout of the Missouri. They would also do well to collect a few facts showIng - Ing how the trade of that commercial center has been assisted by the barge line which national improvement of the water way has rendered possible between St. Louis and that point. If the many which has been wasted in spasmodic im provomonte between Sioux City and Oma ha had bean added to that spent between Omaha and Kansas City , tlio river would now bo in a fair way to afford an open waterway to the gulf , and there would bo fewer doubters of the propriety of river appropriations for this section of tlio west. The trouble has been that thn sums granted have been in driblets. The work done ono year has been bo small and so poorly protected that it has been badly damaged or ontoroly lost before another appropriation has permitted re sumption of rip-rapplnr. Tin ; fact that the Indiana on the Yanktou reservation have established an arbor day and planted 1,000 forest trees , loads the Chicago Times to suggest that tliu best thing in this line would be an annual Indian day to bo col"brntcdby the planting of a thousand Indians , par ticularly those of the Gcronlmo class. But to plant such Indians as Goronlmo thoj' must first bo caught , which , up to date , seems a very difficult thing to do. Other IjarulH Than Onri. The week has passed of ! at Westmin ster and Gladstone still holds the holm. Home rule oven in the present parlia ment is not yet bcalcn. The threat of the dissolution of parliament has had a won derful effect in breaking up the ranks of the opposition , and the government polled n goo 1 majority on Tuesday in its motion to prolong the debate on the issue which the tory anil whig coalition is attempt ing to htiflo. Tlio premier is stronger in his position to-day than ho was u week ago. Ho is fighting ono of his old time fights , fer tile in surprises and carried for- \vard with all the vigorof desperation. Hid record shows that Mr. Gladstone's most startling victories have been won when all his friends believed his cause to bo irretrievably lost. Mr. Gladstone evidently lias no intention of giving up his homo rule bill except after u decisive defeat in the house of commons. He has still the same advantage that he has had' ' all along in the inability of the opposition in or out of the liberal party to airreo upon a counter-plan. The consciousness of this advantage is what gives credibility to the story that Lord Hartington and Mr. Chamberlain are trying to ma ture a scheme for giving Ireland some measure of local self-govern ment , while retaining the Irish members at Westminster and saving the imperial control at all points. It will be a diffi cult task to prepare such a scheme upon which even the liberal opposition can bo united , leaving out of view the irrecon cilable tones and the Parnollites , though ono or the other of these bodies must be won in order to uass a bill , and though no bill , oven if it passed parliament , could bo worked" for a day in Ireland if the Parnellites strenuously opposed it. Wliilo an .immediate appeal to the coun try is much the most likely outcome of the situation , it is much lcs improbable that Mr. Gladstone's bill will be passed than that any rival scheme will succeed in the house of comnions. * * < r European capitalists are commenting unfavorably at the condition ot French finances. Franco began the year with a debt of six millions of dollars nnd it has been increased since that time. No country in ancient or modern times was ever burdened with such a debt. It is twice as large as the debt of the United States ut the close of the civil war. It is one-lourtli larger than the debt of England over was. The enormous debts of Engand aud the United States were contracted to meet the expenses of wars. Hut as soon as peace was secured they com- monecd to reduce the amount of their in debtedness. But the debt of France has been steadily increasing since the con clusion of the war with Germany. The aprQpvii\tions ] for the present year RI-O greater than ever before and in excess of those of any country in the world. The financial prospects of Franco are very poor. There is scarcely any increase in population. The wine and silk industries are declining , while the grain and meat producers declare that they must have protection in order to live. * * The familiar saying , "Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown , " was never ' * vividly illustrated and verified a j t10 | case of the Russian czar.

Sleeping or wakinc , &t.VZM [ or abroad , at no time or no ' p'lucu can he feel safe a single moment. lie is ever at the mercy of a relentless foe who may strike ut any moment ; a foe defying destruction , and from whom absolute protection is impossible. Go whore ho will , do what ho may , ho is haunted by thn spectre of his father's f.ito ; a father , too , who was far moro pop ular than ho himself is. Such a life is hardly worth living , and the pun ishmout which the nihilists havu devised for Alexander III. is as ingenious as it is terrible. It is the sword of Damocles re vived m modern times. Just now the helpless victim is lingering in Lividia , prevented , it Is said , from fulfilling en gagements elsewhere by fear of assassina tion on the journey. But this terrorism will not accomplish its object. Tlio Ro manoffs are a bravo race , aud the present' czar is as brave as the bravest of them. What nihilism demands ho will never give , nnd bomb , bullet and dagger may do their worst. Meanwhile what a tragedy It is that is being played in Rus sia ; The Greek frontier question still re mains unsettled awaiting the decision of tlio newly formed conservative cabinet. There has been no clash of arms yet , and the little kingdom evidently recognizes its helplessness of engaging in u coutlict against united Europe , and is now play ing the card of delay in order to win time for pressing her demand for terri tory afresh upon the "powers. . . Ulster's justification for secession from the remainder of Ireland , should homo rule bo granted , is based on the assurnp < tion that the-province U overwhelmingly Protestant. The latest census shows- that , the population of Ulster was 1,401,087 , , of which 631,031was Protestant aud G03oGU , Catholic.The Protustaut majority in Ulster , therefore , is only 187,4t5 in a pop ulation of nearly n million and a half.

The so-called < "Gcrmanizatlon" of the Polish province ' Is to bo accom plished by the simpo6ut efficacious plan of buying up the lands of the Polish land lords and expelling the Polish peasantry. The land Is purchased by the govern ment , about 500,000,000 having been ap propriated for the purpose. When the Polish landlord will hot agree upon a price lie is offered a certain number of years' rental and is thrust out of tliu country. . Without choice or recourse on his part ho ceases to bo a land owner or oven an inhabitant of Prussia. ' The fate of the peasantry is oven severer. With no accumulated surplus to fall back upon in many cases they must go to another land nnd among strangers to seek bread. * * The causes of the great fall in the price of silver recently are not all known. The drouiti India council bills of exchange is one of them , but this alone seems hardly adequate to account for a fall of two and a quarter ponce per ounce of silver bull ion since January 1. Thu London quota tion now is forty-four and three-quarters pence per ounce , aud the Now York quo tation ninety-seven and three-quarters cents. These are the lowest points over touched.

The Republican hcartllv concurs with the liin : in pronouncing tlio outfit for the con veyance of malls between the trains and the postoftlce in tills city the most disreputable and disgraceful outlit In the country. There Is not a 10 cent side show traveling through the pooicst country towns , exhibiting two- headed calves , fat wouion and snakes under a ragged and weather-beaten canvas , that has not a better outlit of vehicles and hor.sellesh. Our mall wagons look as If they bad done duty on the plains befoie tlio Pacific road \\as built , and over slnee. They are lusty dirty and wcathei-be.itou , and are a positive reproach to our linely-paved streets , line buildings ami beautiful city. The piopelllng weakness is no better.

Its home Is In the sunny south 'Tis there It's reared and fed : It scoops its victuals in Its mouth And travels ou its head. The lluhtnlng flashes from its eyes , While loud its voice doth tear ; Its body roaches to the skies , Iu course is marked with gore.

Crawford , Da-.vos County , Comine Into Prominence. CKAWFOUU , Neb. , May 19. [ Corres pondence of tlio BEE. ] The astounding rapidity with which the "wild west" is being changed to civilization is beyond iho comprehension of any man. Imagina tion may have full play , but realization is still without its reach. It is not the purpose now , to write up those places anil things that are already made familiar to the country , although half has not boon told. .

The giant sugar-loaf buttea , that form a back-ground for Fort Robinson on the north , are but two miles away and a thousand feet high , fringed with pine , rolled iu the morning sun a maniiiconco that is superlatively awe- inspiring in Us grandeur. They are so near as to appear lobe in your door-yard , and yet so far off that their routines ia blended by their interlacing , which makes thorn scorn moro like iimngnificontpaint ing than a reality of nature's handiwork. Five miles south the evergreen hills relieve lievo the vision by their symmetry and beauty ; and , bending northward , like the walls of a great anipithcatro , whenreach ing n point Just flvo miles cast , they term inate in the tragic Crow Butte , 780 feet high , one which stands out so boldly that it may bu seen forty miles away , and from whoso summit the Black Hills of Dakota are plainly discemablo. To the northeast , at an opening angle of ono hundred degrees , the grand and futile valley of White River impresses tlio idea of illimitable expanse.

The country i now carpeted by nature , but the all-subduing plowshare is transforming the homo of the ranchman Into civilized homes for the oncoming ing millions. Thu All-wise Architect has hero boon most lavish of His bounty and Ills skill. The tests , so far , indicate a productive soil , a moderate , healthful clime , and an intelligent , industrious and benevolent class ot people , The lands along the valley are mostly taken , but back on the highlands the soil is richer and nearer timber. Them is plenty of dead timber for wood and posts for years to como. There is no under brush and the grass is abundant. Water is obtained by digging. Besides the labor of building , a house would cost but a few dollars. Last winter the cattle lived on the range. B. F. THOUAS.

SIDNEY , Neb. , May 18. [ Correspond ence of the BEE. ] Daniel Webster once said , in describing the wonderful oxt.int of country covered by tlio possessions of the United Slates , "that hardly does the rosy tints of sunset on the Pacific coast fade into the gloom of night till the At lantic coast 1ft bathed in the silver light of the new-born day. " This can hardly bu said of Cheyenne county , yet one need not strain at n gnat or swallow u camel to make it comparatively true. Chovcimo countv contains 201 townships nnd SO major fractions of townships. It is 10 times larger than Douglas county , 14 times larger than Cass county or 20 times larger than Harpy county ; it is larger than all the counties in Nebraska border ing along the .Missouri river combined and Saunders , Lancaster , Oage , York anil Hamilton counties thrown in ; and yet it is but an infant ; to-day there is not a township in the county but the wild cnyote plays upon and the festive ante lope roams at leisure o'er. Thoio are val leys on the North 1'latto river larger than tliu county of Douglas and level as Omaha asphalt pavement that are comparatively unsettled yet. There are plateaus of table land larger than any three counties cast of th ono hundredth meridian , with splendid soil aud plenty of timber near , where the white sailed eratts of the set tler have hardly dotted yet. Tltr.llE IS MOItl ! WATT.U , moro timber , moro tillable land and less Mind in the hoil of Cheyenne county than any other county north of the 1'latto river andwcstof the ouo hundredth meridian. Up and down the line of the U. 1' . rail road at every train station where OHO year ago there was nothing but Texas steers , section men and water tanks , there are now rapidly building up the future Chicagoos , Omahas and Lincolns. Sidney , the county seat and largest town in the county situated on the Lodge Pole creek , 110 miles west of North Platte , is the tirst division west of that city ou tlio Union Pacihc railroad , it is a busy , thriving little city of about 1,200 inhabitants. FOIIT SIIWKV. is located Here ; it is a beautiful spot inside the city limits and is the place where Senator Maudersoti wants to ex- wend $50,000 in improving the surround ings and conditions of Uncle Sam's ! iOO bold aud brave protectors , who draw hard tack aud sleep between govern ment blankets. It is also settled upon as the location for one of the two additional land ollicc districts which congress re cently passed , and President Cleveland did not veto. With a land oflice nnd $50,000 of government appropriations during the next year Sidney must and will boom. In latitute the central portion of Chey enne county lies nearly due west of Omaha ; in altitude it averages about 4,000 feet above the sea level or less that one- lifth the Height of Pike's Peak , or about ! J times the elevation of Omaha. In agri culture every known product raised m the eastern portion of the state , grows , ripens and matures \yith a wonderful increase in si'/o , quality and quantity. Mr. Robert Choyne in town 1 ! ) , K : 48 , on the north side of the North Platte river , raised last year a piece of sod corn that yielded him 35 bushels to the acre of as hard and well matured yellow Dent corn as any eastern county in this state can produce. This corn was raised without any irrigation whatever , and in spite of the early frosts throughout the state last year , fully matured , and the same gentle man is this year using for seed the same corn ho raised on the sod last year. WHAT COUNTY IN THE EAST over raised seed corn on their first year's sod ? This crop of Mr. Cheyne's certainly settles the mooted question as to whether corn will mature in Cheyenne county. Oats , wheat and tame grosses all do wonderfully well. With its immense tracts of tillable ground and their won- dorfuj producHveucbS Cheyenne county promiyjs tcfsoon be the banner county of the state. At the state fair next fall Choyennn county will be seen and recognized , not as tlio homo of the coyote , the Texas steer , and the cowboy , but the Eden of the tassoling corn , the billowing wheat , the waving oats and the Irish lemon. In historic legenils some of the scenes and incidents of its early border life would rivft ! the tales of Walter Scott. On its oust boundilry.in the corner of Colorado , on tlio south bank of Uio Plutto riynr , once stood THE KATEll grJJT f * CLl ) JULKSBUKO , namcii.jlf > r Un old Frenchman by the > yvJIio of Jules Benaxi , whom Mark Twain afterward made famous as the man , whom the desparado Slade tied to a post and murdered between drinks nnd whoso oars he always carried in his vest pocket. In 1803 tlio main supply depot of Bon Holliday's stage. Jinu was located hero and at this time there had grown up around this station a village of forty or lifty persons , while two miles west of the town Cant. O'Brien , now of Choyonuo Citywas located with a company of Iowa soldiers in n little sod fort. About 11 o'clock one day , boinotime during the rnionth of February , a few Sioux Indians made ttiolr appearance on the tablo-land to the south. Capt. O'Brien sent out a detachment of twenty soldiers to scout around aud drive the Indians back , These men were deooycd back into the raviuo by a few of those cunning maneuvers of these celebrated Sioux chiefs , White Antelope and Pawnee Killer , till tinally , like the fated Ouster , they were caught in the fatal trap and all massacred ; but not till many an Indian warrior had paid the penalty of their vie * tory. While the soldiers and Indians were fighting many of the inhabitants ut Julcsburg ( low to the Bed tort for protec tion. These who want were fortunate , for those who remained but a few min utes VVKRE MAJWACUKU TO A MAN , for hardly had Urn last shots died away on the blufla till 1,000 Sioux warriors were murdering the inhabitants nnd burning the beautiful little town of Julesburg , with the immense buildings and large supplies of the stage company. After entirely destroying the town they next be gan u liulit against the fort , in this li ht , after a stubborn and hotly contested bat tle , they were forced to retire badly worsted. In this tight the Sioux Indians had their lirst experience in bomb shulls. Capt. O'Brien dropped a few six pound shells amongst them , The Indians see ing the little iron balls laying around , gathered about them with wondering cu riosity. No Indian ever looked for the second shell , but many dusky widows mourned over the fnto of their too cu rious luisb.imU , Such is a few of the his torlo facts connected with the name and history of Julcsbnrg , which the Union Pacific people thing wields a moro mat'ic wand than the more poolio name of Den ver Junction. In fiKOI-OUICAL KOHMATIONS , Cheyenne county contains n few of the most curious and wonderful formed rocks in America. Court house rock , situated on the North PJatto river ton miles Douthcast from ( Jump. Clark , is a square rock setting hack ii | sholfs to a dome on lop. covering an urea of about ten acres and is 2Gb feet from babe to dome. It stands out on the prairie en tirely alone , jsiv miles from any other similar formation. Tt is composed of calccriotis magnesia sand formntioii and from nil side resembles very much Douglas count's new courthouse. It is one of the freaks nnd wonders of untitrn. It is an extremely deceitful rook , tor each ono mile you think it oil" , it is ten miles farther still , nnd ninny a festive young tnndcrfoot has wnlkud to the next station and get into cnmp rather Into too , in order to sec it. The old Mormon trail passed along tlio north side of this rock , nud Its smooth walls of soft white stone , contains almost as many Mormon unities and dates as Hrlglmm Young's old tything book. Twenty miles above this rock ou the south side of tlio North I'lutto river stands what is called tliu Chimney rock. This is composed of the same ma terial that couit house rock is. This chimney sets upon a funui-l shaped rock about fifty feet high and covering about onehall'aero at its base. It In A IT.HKr.CT ItOUNI ) COLUMN of rock about sixteen foot iu diameter , ntnl is now about 100 feet high , carrying jts si/.o to the top. There is nn old legend in this country that many yearn ago ix young lieutenant in the army was out with n party of soldiers , and that one uvcning just to try his cannon for prac tice ho shot lifty foot off from the lop of the rock , Ho this as it may , as tlio rock now .stands it is the most wonderful pro duction of n a turn in tlio entire state of Nebraska. Twenty miles above tills rock is what is known as Scott's blufls. This is a spur of perpendicular sand stone cliffs about fiOO loot high , joining up to tlio water's edge on the south side of the Platte river , nnd is noted far nml near as the homo of the mountain sheep , an an imal essentially American in its origin nnd mountainous in ltd habits ; iiuiu.v of these animals still reside , and make their homes in these bltifld. Such is but a few of nature's wonders in Cheyenne county. Along the south side of tlio North 1'latto river the brakes and hlufl's are full of a line quality ot' pine and cedar timber , and in these blufl's many a beautiful stream of cold , clear water starts on its journey to tlio sea , In my next I will deal with the pro ductions of Cheyenne county , treating on HID amount of farming , horse and cattle raising being carried on , and Us past and probable future success. JosKi'ii 11. FAIHKIEI.D. A Noraila Senator's Inick. Senator Jones in San Francisco Post : "I've always boliovcd in Providence since ono tiny , years ago , when I was shonll' over in Shasta countv. It was a roaster of a day anil I was roturuing on horse back from a hunt for some sluice rob bers. I was slowly following u faint mountain trail , and the .sun was just bak ing mo and the horse was in a lather. I came under the slindu of a big rook and " thought it would bo pleasant to got oil' A nnd have a smoko. I sat down on u cool bowlder , cut a pipoful from my plug , tilled my pipe , aud felt for a match. Well , Joe , there wasn't a match any where in my pockets. I searched and searched , but there was no match. I toll you , Joe , 1 felt worse over that disap pointing than I've done since when Iho market lias gene back on me nnd hit mo for a hundred thousand at a clip. But while I sat tncruon that bowlder wrapped in gloom , what d'yo suppose my eye sud denly fell on ? A match , by heaven , ly ing on the trail not six foot away from me ! I used it though I was a little afraid to touch it at first and had my smoke. So you needn't to worry how this political light is going to come out. A man for whom Providence will go to the trouble of providing a match for a smoke in the wilds of thobiorraNuvadns , where man's foot scarcely ever treads , isn't likely to get left when it comes to n commoniilaco little thing like being elected to the United States senate. Ever since that time , " concluded the Com- stocker. "I've never refused n dollar , Jp , a parson , nnd have generally douo'mv best , in a quiet , unobtrusive way , to make myself solid with tlio people who have to pull on Providonco.
