1t seems to US that Il citizens
ought Ia be convinced by this time,
that it is the determination of the
government to effect the opening of
Wyoming this coming summer, and
to furnish TO the world as much in
formation concerning its topography
and geography, and its resources as it
can well do. Custar's proposed expo
dition from Bismarck sOuthwesterly
to the Black Hills, thence westerly to
the Big Horn Mountains, is significant
when viewed in connection with an
other expedition UP the Yellowstone
and Big Horn Rivers, as foreshad-
owed in General Sheridan's recent
letter. The establishment of q mill
tary post in the Black Hills, ostensihly
to keep miners out, will, in reality, be
a check on the predatory Sioux, and
the establishment of a post there will
necessarily be followed by the loca-
ton and establishment of other mill
tary posts in the Big Horn and Vel
lowstone country. The effect of these
undertakings by the government, will
be the rapid settling up of the beauti-
full, fertile and attractive valleys by
honest and industrious settlers. who
will make permanent homes in them.
Aside from and independent of the
reputed mineral richness of the coun-
try, there are numerous attractions in
hat ~section to insure, within three
years after its opening, q large, thrifty,
energetic and enterPrlsing popuIa-
tim.

what arrangements can be made, and
what rates Of fare can he obtained

Mr.. Allen has this work in charge,

At least 500 men will leave New Eng

large number of old Californians are
going with this company. Sioux City

parties for terms. If the government
will not interfere, you will see crowds

THE COMING FIGHT.

The country Is rapidly preparing
for the great political struggle of
next year. Every eye is turned to
Ohio, as that state is considered the
"battle ground" of the next cam
paign. The election in that state in
October will more largely influence
the result of the Presidential cleo
ton than any to be held this year.
The fight is now and will next
year be between the Republican and
Democratic parties. All the Reform
or "third party" movements of the
last two years have served but to
place the Democratic party upon its
feet again. The "third party" move
ment of last year had no other effect
than to put the Democrats in Office.
It gave them control of several
states where they had been in the
minority for years, and enabled
them to elect large majority of the
National House of Representatives.
The class of voters who did this last
year will not be apt TO repeat the
experiment on the eve of Presl-
dental election, unless they have
resolved to go over TO the Demo-
cratic party in body. There will
be but two parties in the next cam
paign-Republican and Democratic
and every man must choose be-
tween them. The large body of Re-
publicans who were justly dissatis-
fed with the Republican nOmina-
lions last fall, are now coming back
to the party, impelled to this course
by the danger which threatens the
country, of placing it again under
Democratic control. That the rres-
ent omens are suspicious, need not
be surprising. Last year, for vari-
Gus reasons, which no man could
forsee aud no government prevent,
the people were snllen and supine.
and showed their discomfort by Yot-
ing down their friends and voting
up their enemies, who have either
betrayed them, or who will do so at
the first opportunity. There was
then no national peril; but that lit
tle experiment has fully satisfied
their prurient curiosity. The friends
of good government, of the maxims
aud tenets of the Republican party,
are now, as they have been since
1860, in the majority; and 1t is alb
urd and illogical to suppose that in
