of the pulse by the faces of men to-day
worn in this mountain town, we will have
to pronounce it slow, steady and meas

case was one OF life ard denth. So far as
this Railroad mat ter is concerned, / think
tue case is beyond oil hope-every face in
town tells you that. Tue hotels are re-
sounding with anything else but sweet pray
ers for the political villainy that has
brought about this terrible condition of
things. The tide Of decentralization and
thievery that has been approaching US for
some time, and gradually mounting its
banks is now about to inundate this wes-
tern part, if not the whole of the State
The merchants are at last growing parti-
cularly suspicious. They are stopping

money. They never received any. They
had to take it on ''tick" at big discount.
Now they have no credit The contractors
are black and blue With curses hurled at
Littlefield, Holden, and the rest of the
pack: Everybody feels the gloomiest de-
preston. The people know noao that they
are deceived. They believe now, when it
is too late, that their public servants have
