and the civilization OF these savsges.
The Just and humane treatment of
this war-Iike tribe and the presence
OF United States troops at their agen-
cies. will prevent the recurrence of
depredatinns which heretofore have
made this section of the Territory
unsafe and undesirable for settlement.
THE YELLOWSTONE PARK.
The geyser region OF the Upper
Yellowstone, which Congress has
wisely set apart as a National Park,
Is unquestionably the most astonish-
ing combination of natural wonders
and of imposing and beautiful
scenery in the world. The report of
United States biologists, who have
repeatedly visited that region, fully
demonstrate this fact. When the
mark shall become accessible by rail-
rnads-say five years hence-we pre-
diet that il will become the great
summer resort and sanitarium OF the
continent. For sight-seers and lovers
of the wonderful and picturesque it
will have nor attractions than
Niagara. Yosemite and the White
Mountains combined; and there is
the best reason to believe that the
myriads Of hot and mineral springs
in the Yellowstone Park possess val
liable curative properties. The
summer climate in this region Is de-
iigbtfully cool, bracing and heslthful.
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Our people are mainly frUm the
Western and Southwestern states,
and, though few in number, are
energetic, enterprising and intelli-
gent. They are the nucleus of what
is to be the leading commonwealth OF
the new Northwest. The school
system of w oming is excellent and
abundantly sustained. The Terri
tory Is free from debt.
Several OF the counties have incur
red Indebtedness by the making of
needed, permanent improvements;
which debts are represented by
county bonds redeemable in from ten
to twenty years and are consequently
not burdensnme.
With the opening up to settlement
of Northern Wyomingthe tide ofim-
migration will pour into this Terri
Tory, as IL formerly has into Califor-
mia or Kansas. The impetus thereby
given to our mining interests, to
stock raising, agriculture and wool
growing, will give occupation to a
large population and add much to
the wealth of the nation.
In short, considering climate,
healthfulness, fertility variety. and
abundance of natural riches, and the
location on the line of the great
national thoroughfare, the Union
Pacific railroad, we know of no
part Of the Western country, which
excells Wyoming, the youngest
child of Uncle Sam.
1t is no place for drones or handles;
but for hard work, honest endeavor,
and capital backed by brains, it offers
a wide field and a reasonably sure
reward.

wYoainE. It's Climate, Resources
and AtIraetIons.


The discovery of rich gold mines
in the Black Hills OF Northwestern
Wyoming has directed general at
tcntion to our Territory, and letters
Of inquiry in relation to the climate,
resources, etc. of our young common
wealth reach this office daily. As
we have not the time to pen a reply
TO each correspondent, we will at
tempt to answer their queries cullec-
lively by giving a general resume OF
what may be consistently and truth
fully claimed for u Territory.
CLIMATE. HEALTHFULNESs.
Wyoming is a Territory of i'm
mense extent aud hence must have a
variety of climate. 1t is aiso a
mountainous region and what is true
Of the climate of the valley and
plains would not be true OF the
higher elevations; hut, speaking gen.
orally, and with special reference To
the portions already settled aud the
portion inviting settlement, we say,
without hesitation, there IS not a
finer climate in the world. 1t is per-
fec:ly healthy. the air Is dry, pure
and bracing; there is no malaria and
hence no ague occurs here. Wyom-
Ing " iftt iTbil IIt GAtftillio VI NEAT
and cold, the yearly average temper
AZURE being the same as that OF Ohio
and Indiana. Our winters are
usually warmer and far pleasanter
than those of Illinois or Pe%nnsylva-
mia. Snow rarely falls to any CON
siderable depth in the valleys, and
when il does, a warm sun or wind
usually takes il of in a day or two,
30 that cattle have abundant grazing
the year round.
RESOURCES.
The special of Wyoming
are stock raising, mining and. in
some portions, agriculture. Farm
lands are abundantin all the valleys
and when irrigated are not surpassed
for fertility and productiven, ~. As
to mining, Wyoming has rich depns-
its of gold, silver, copper, irun, lead,
and coal. Our mines are, of course,
less developed than those Of the older
Territories, owing To the presence of
hostile Indians in the richest mining
districts of this Territory. When we
are relieved from the presence of our
red brethren, that is when the gov
crnment takes measures to keep them
on their permanent reservation in
Dakota, thc Development of our min
ing interests, especially in the Black
Hills and Big Horn mountains, will
be on a scale that will surprise the
most sanguine-
Immense tracts of our Territory
ESTIMATED to cover $4,000 square
miles) are undertake with the finest
coal to be found west of the Rocky
Mountains, so that a perpetual supply
of cheap fuel Is II certainty with us.
Timber of good quality is found in
nearly allparts Of Wyoming, consist
ing mainly of pine, cedar hemlock,
and cottonwood.

AS grazing region, IL Is generally
admitted by Western stock men OF
experience that Wyoming has no
equal. Its superiority consists mainly
in this, that the grass is more abund-
ant and of better quality, the win
tiers are milder and the snow falls
less in our sheltered valleys than on
the elevated and exposed plateaux
further south. Good water is abund-
ant in Wyoming and the climate is
such that herds of all kinds of stock
keep perfectly healthy, and the in
crease is remarkably rapid and GER
tain. Many have expressed the
opinion that the stock-growing in
dustry OF Wyoming is of more i'm
portance to her inhabitants than all
her gold and silver mines, rich as
they are. 1t IS certain hat the pecu-
culiar kind of grass found here on our
plains and hill-sides is more nu-
tritious than Ohio timothy or the
best blue grass Of Kentucky. This
bunch or gramma grass starts up
early in the spring, reaches maturity
in June and then cures where ii
stands, retaining all its nutritive
qualities and constituting the finest
autumn or winter feed for stock that
nature has anywhere provided. 1t
not only grows in the valleys, but
covers the foothills and the bench
lands, and frequently reaches. tho
mountain tops, thus furnishing I'M
limited grazing throughout the year
on lands not a%vailable for other pur-
poses.
We know of no business, open to
all corners, which Itfers such solid in
ducementS as s~tock-raising in Wyo-
ming. With good management the
risks are few and the returns are
large. Men long engaged in the bus
mess assure US that the profits eXcend
four per cent. a month, thus doub-
ling the capital in two years. 70
reap all the advantages of the bust
ness and make it fully worth an en-
terprising mans attention, it is
desirable to start with a herd costing
from five to ten thousand dollars.
Many, however, begin with less and
gucceed well. The bushes of wool
i owing, although now in its infancy
n this Territory, is destined TO be-
ONE a leading interest.
THE INDIAN QUESTION.
The Indians in Wyoming are
known as Treaty Indians" living,
on reservation away from white
settlements. The northeastern part
of Wyoming is yet neutral ground,
the ioux Indians being permitted
by treaty stipulations to hunt over
the same. 1t is expected that Con-
gress next winter will abrogate the
existing treaty and coufine these
Indians to their present reservation
beyond the boundary lines of Wyom-
ing Territory. The preselt policy
of the government toward the Sioux
Is likely 10 result in permanent peace

The morning papers cali attention to a re-
markable verdict given in the Hastings Court
yesterday. William James, married man. and
Annie Robinson, spinster, were indicted for the

Robinson was first tried, and she was found
guilty then William James was tried by the

the thing is declared to be ridiculous, jury trial

A THIRD TERM PLOT

The latest contribution to Third Term LiteIa-
ture is the announcement that the President de-
clined to say that he was not candidate for
reelection for the reason that he WAS threatened
with assassination in case he did not do 80. The
Philadelphia Bulletin has information to this eff
feet and appears to lay much store by it. Ac-
cording to this authority, Democratic plot
WAS formed two years ago to force the
President to silence, it being supposed
that political revolution could be
occasioned in that event. Ii Grant should
iisavow a Third Term ambition he could prsc-
ncally name his successor, and the Republican
organization would remain intact; If people
should believe, through the Presidents refusal to
speak, that he desired reelection, the Tidal
wave, or the Nox Populi, or some other awful
thing would come raging down on the Rsdical
carpet baggers and most welcome overthrow
would result. This being the situation the con-
spirators set trap for the President which with
their notion OF his popularity of temperament,
they we're certain would work. 1t was
simply to threaten him. Building upon that his
toricaly phlegmstic and obstinate nature, they
supposed they had only to insist that he should
DO a certain thing in order to make him refuse
to do it Accordingly they demanded, over the
signatures OF Cesar, Casca, Wilkes Booth, and
other lovers OF Liberty, that he should at once
iissyow Third Term aspirations, or else that he
should make instant preparation for the other
world. Then the story goes that, on receiving
this threat, the President shut his lips tighter
than ever, as a sign that he was not afraid and
was not to be driven
This narrative, OF such part Of 1t as
shows that the President was thus
influenced, may lind its believ ers
but we hasten to say that We must not
be ranked therein. 1t is too much like sam We'll
ierz yarn OF the man who shot himself on prin-
ciple, after eating half crowns worth Of
eFumpets, becluse lis doctor had said crual-
pets were not wholesome. and that TO man
could eat that quantity and live In brief, it
is about the most absurd thing that has srpear-
ed on the Third Term question. Colonel Mann
said in court in Philadelphia the other day that
certain threatening Letter addressed to
Judge and Jury engaged in the Geidemann case
vas the work of au idiot snd,that he had been
=ssassinated oil paper many times, and this comes
under the same head. General Grant may possi-
bly, have received. such blackguard epistle, but
we prefer to believe that 80 far from influencing
tim in his policy of silence he never gave it a
second thought. To hold otherwise is to hsye a
very low opinion OF an American leader whose
strength and tenacity his fellow couutrymen, his
everlasting debtors. have the best Of reasons for
