The other route is by way of Reefs
ranch, down Horse Creek to near its
mout p, crossing the North Platte
River at Nick Janise'S ranch, about
thirty miles east Of Fort Laramie,
and thence in a nOrtheasterly dirtC-
ton, Ove IA good road, to Red Cloud
Agency. This route is also travelled
10y n stage line, which carries the
mail and passengers from Cheyenne
to Red Cloud and Spotted Tail
Agencies, owned by HOshier and
CinnanOnd, and also by freight
trains, ranchmen and settlers. This
roIt is settled up ats far M the Platte
Rivcrr and all of the Indian goods
for these agencies, and most Of the
military supplies for the two mill
tHry posts at the agencies, Camps
Robinson and Sheridan, are trans
ported over it. The fare to Red
Cloud is fifteen dollars, and the dis
lance from there to the Black Hills
is about fifty miles. The following

THE \ HILLS

lie between the 43rd and 18th degrees
Of latitude, and the lU3rd and lOjih
parallels of longitude, and occupy an
area OF about one hundred miles In
length, nurlhCrly and sputherly, and
about sixty miles in breadth. Their
form j. ClIipticaI, and according to
Lieut.. Narruu's report Of them, 1.-THE
major axis trends about ~ west of
aOrth." The base Of these hills j.
about 300 t. 3nJO fIt above the sUa
level, and the highest peaks do not
exceed 1000 feet. yhc EASTERN bound
aIy line Of Wyoming, I0lth parallel
Of longitude, runs about midway
through the hills. The whole range
of the hills lies in the forks of the
Big Cheyenne River, which j. the
most important stream in that re-
gion. the north fork is called Belle
FOurchc, Is thirty yards wide, and
passes around the northern end of
the range in 4 spInicircle, receiving
the waters from the greater part of
the hills, which flow into it from Il
great number Of small streams. II
takes its rise far 10 the westward of
this range, near to the sources of the
Little Powder River, in what is
known a. the "diVilnn between the
waters of the Yellowstone and those
of the Missouri. The SOTth Fork @!
the Cheyenne River is #hGut u:C
hundred feet wide. takes irS rise in
the same "diVidc," ilDN- around the
southern base of the hills, and also
receives numerous tributaries which
have their source in them. THESE
two streams unite about forty miles
east Of the Back Hills, forming the
NJ Tlav.aE,, slrvLffrraA =rIllt.l
Shyeunp1 River, which puurS itself
into the Missouri some sixty miles
above Fort Pierre. From either
Fort Sullr or Fort Pierre, in a duc
west direction to the Wyoming line,
which run, through the centre Of the
hills nearly, is Il distance of go
miles, on an air line. Formerly there
was Il road from Fort Pierre to Fort
laramie, over which military and
traders stores were freighted, and
the distance fixed Mt three, hundred
and twuTty-livo miles. The road
necessarily passed Ovc the bad lands
considerable OF the distance. Any
route followed from the Upper Mis-
souri, will encounter them. In the
summer tho heat Is intense in the
country between the Upper Missouri
and the Black Hills, the grass is not
good for stock, and the water j.
strongly alkaline. For these sfrrtN
we are indebted to persons who have
frequently passed 81 the route dur
ing the past twenty-five years, to
officers OF the army, and to the Off
cfal reports of Lieut.. e.. X. Warren
and Bravet Brig. Gen. w. +. Ray

GERS of the United States Army.

HILLS.

There are two routes that may be
taken to the hills from here. The
one by way Of Fort Laramic, Raw
Hide Buites, Old WOmtn's Fork
and Beaver Creek * lS2 miles. This
route passes through Il settled coun-
try for "A huusPTr5 miles or so. Good
ranches Will be found every few
miles rs far as Fort Laramie. There
is now IA stage line on it owned by
j. G. Ahney, that carries the United
States mail to and from the Fort,
and also passengers Mt ten dollars IA
piece. This line will be extended to
the Black Hills right away, if the
government permits it to be done.
The road is an unusually good one,
and is constantly travelled by the
military, by frcighters, by ranch
men, settlers aud others. The fol.
lowing table of distances over this
route is correct:

POSTMASTER GENERAL. JEwEL.-Thc New
York Times, Of the 1lth, thus allutles to the
quiet manner in which Postmaster General
Jewell threw ''straw bidder'' out in the cold:
Postmaster General Jewell has quietly
shown how fertile are his resources when re-
qHired to meet sudden exgency forced upon
him by ''straw bidders.'' On the Texas from
tier a weekly mail service between FL Paso
and Fort Concho, for which the contractor was
paid five hundred dollars per round trip, came
to an end. Everybody knows how this sort of
problem is again and again presented to the
Postal Service in sparsely- settled regions. The
military posts and ranches around them,
must have mail facilities. The successful bid
der disappears, and some other man stands
ready to do the work at advanced rates. In
this case the Postmaster General applied to the
Military Department, which has plenty of
transportation. Gen. Ord, commanding the
department., agrees to send his couriers with
the mail twice week, ii the Post Office De-
partment will reimburse the War Department
at the rate OF six hundred dollars per month.
The result is q saving of fourteen hundred
dollars per month and disappointed s'straw
bidder"

The ISSUE MADE.-The New York Times.
commenting on TIE imitation platform adopted
by the Pennsylvania Democracy, has the fol-
lowing pertinent remarks: 49,
In some respects is is very unfortunate that
the issue forced upon the country by the Dem
ocrats OF Ohio and Pennsylvania should be
made. It conpels the people to decide the
question OF national honesty CT dishonesty, and
on this point there should be no room for cues
ton. But it is an issue which cannot and
ought not to be evaded. Since it is to be made.
the Republican party will accept it frankly and
fully. That party has always been firm in its
support of the national faith. In 1868 it de-
Tended the honor Of the country from an attack
as outrageous as that which the Democrats are
now making. Since then it has erected a mum
Der of strong barriers about the priuciple which
is so essential, and which it holds so precious.
It has secured the actual paymenE Of four hun
bred millions OF the debt it has funded over
six hundred millions Of the six per cent bonds
i'll five per cents, payable by their terms in
gold, which no eqllivocaton can touch it has
placed Oh the statute book repeated and varied
pledges to pay the legal tender notes in coin.
and it has fixed the date for the fulfilment of
these promises. With such a past, it will shrb
no duty which the future may impose upon it.
1t will call to its ranks the honest men OF the
whole country, and will be faithful, as it always
has been, to the honor OF the nation.

years.

OF hluch shorter duration than the former one
az ~ dooo. the bank note circulation was $780,

OF legal tender and bank notes is and for some
years has been, upward OF 500, 900. 600. while
the deposits and loans Of the banks have been
increased in still greater ratio 1t is asser-
tea, Know, that bank deposits and bank
loans AMI not paper money, have been tho

animation OF our bank returns will show that
oahk deposits and bank loans have only about
kept pace, as they naturally would, with the
paper circulation
And now, with over 500 O10 n1n ,,f n.,,or
money outstanding, more than half OF Which
CONSISTS or legai-tenders, there are thousands
OF people complaining OF a scarcity OF crrcn-
ey; some OF the leaders Of a great party are
advocating larger supply OF it. In the early
days 81 the West calonel was considered by a
SET OF sef-styled doctors specific for all COM
plants, and when they had brought their pa
tents-some of them naturally strong and
vigorous men-to the brink of the grave by
liberal prescriptions of this mineral poison,
they We're quite sure to administer more of it,

generally did under such treatment, Poor
fellows! They have gone; but it would have
been all right with them if they had taken
