Church and State.

1t will not he the fault of the dssen-
sion makers If the next great internal
commotion which shall shake our
country from centre to circumference
is not religious struggle-a bloody
contest between sects and denomina-
tions who preach peace on ealth; good
will to men. The address of the Pres
ident at Des Moines in which he pre-
dicted religious war, aroused discus
sion and sectarian organs and minis
ters have already extended argument
to heated debate aud acrimonious dis
pute. The common intelligence will
not readily accept the predictions of
the President as probably true. 1t is
difficult to imagine that in country
where the line between church and
State is so clearly and distinctly drawn
where the barrier between the two
is so broad and high that the archi-
tects of our government believed it
assible-where universal liberty
isthe birthright of the people; where re
ligious liberation is the broadest in the
world; where every man and woman
has guaranteed right to worship God
according to the dictates of his or her
own conscience-that the followers
of creeds should cut each others
throats for the gospels sake. Such a
disaster seems impossible under q gov
ernment where free schools are an in
tegral part of the super.structure;
where the church spires ofevery creed
sect and denomination point heaven
ward and when all are equally protect
ed. Yet the Chief Executive of the
land has asset ted that such a contest
will yet be waged and upon his hint
the leaders of sect are indirectly char
ging each other with an intent to
bring it upon us. We attach no i'm
portance to these predictions. d, mo-
gogues and fanatics may labor for
their fruition but when the masses
are the masters and those masters are
educated and Intelligent; where every
voter reads and thinks for himself,
dema goguism and fanaticism do not
flourish. We have an abiding faith
in the ability of the people to govern
themselves.

THE indications are that the Gen.
trail Pacific Railroad Company are
preparing for an early closing Of the
gap in railroad communication be
tween San Francisco and Portland,
Oregon. The California and Oregon
road now terminates at Redding in
the extreme upper end Of the Sacra-
mehto Valley and the Oregon road
extends no further South than Oak
land in the Umpqua Valley. The in
tervenlng space between the termini
of the two roads IL, we believe, about
three hundred miles. When this gap
Is closed we shall have continuous
line Of railroad extending up and
down the coast from San Gorgonio
Pass to Portland Oregon-a distance
of between twelve and fifteen hund-
red miles. The greater portion ofthe
route below Redding and Otkland Is
rough and mountainous but the Gen.
tral Pacific managers are accustomed
to encountering and overcoming ob.
stacles of this character.

AS the details and consequences of
the great fire in Virginia City reach
US we begin to realize the extent Of
suffering and prvation to which the
people of the unfortunate town are
subjected. In more congenial cli-
mate the suffering would be compara-
lively light but the atmosphere ofthe
high altitude In which the city is To-
Gated, is at this season of the year
biting cold and snow and rain
storms are of frequent occurrence.
Hundreds of thinly clad women and
children were exposed to the snow
storm which prevailed there on We'd
nesday night and their sufferings were
beyond the conception of those whose
homes are in cline where snow nev-
er falls and intense cold Is never felt.

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1875-09-30

\ Washington special, dated Sept.
Goth, says that the Officials nj the
Indian Department are inclined to
think that the Commissioners sent
out 20 negotiate for the purchase Of
the Black Hills, are in danger. The
constant reports of the bad temper
and irritability of the Sioux, lead
those who are best qualified to judge
of their character, to expect some act
of hostility or some outbreak directed
towards the commissioners. The
of dealing with the Sioux, is
in a great measure responsible for
this bad feeling. The peace policy Is
construed as nothing but timidity on
the part of the government, while
the swindling of the agents has given
the Indians II poor opinion of the
the present disturbed state of feeling
existing among the Sioux, additional
troops are to be ordered to the vicin-
ity of Red Cloud Agency. The pres.
ent force consists of three companies
of cavalry aud four Of infantry, just
enough to iri'a,e the Indians, without
inpresSing them in a restricting way.
The feeling of uneasiness AZ to the
safety of the commissioners, has
taken such Il definite form, that it
may be expected that they will be
temporarily recalled from tho place
where they are Mt present in such
danger of losing their scalps.

DEATH OF MR.. JOHN 9. LrTTKL1


Mr. John Stockton Littell, who died
on Sunday in Germantown, was born
in Burlington, N. j., ON the 17th of
April, 1905, and was descended from
the earliest colonists Of that State. He
published IL pnI.alL ipi..a tOl .nany
years the Lao LIBRARY, a serial reprint
Of the best English professional works
of the day, which was at that time
publication almost indispensable to
every lawyer. Retiring from business
about 1874, he devoted himself thence
forth chiefly to literary pursuits. con-
trihuted many articles and essays to
the secular and religious papers, and
in 1S48 published an annotated edition
Of Graydon's Memoirs Of His Opn Life.
In politics he at first allied himself to
the Whig party, and was a personal

ordered to get off the train which left

that city on an excursion ticket, which
was good for two days. Mr.. Johns rsfu-
sed to get of. and told the conductor he
would not get of unless force was used
He did not propose TO fight any body. but
believing the ticket gave him right to
ride on the train he would maintain that
right, and sue the company if he was put

A BRIEF HISTORY OF THE NEGOTIATIONS
WHAT FOLLOWS THE FAILURE TO
PAY.
WASHINGTON, July 13.--An extra
ordinary council of Cabinet members
having been called by Secretary Fish,
they met to-day at the Department Of
State, continuing in session about three
hours. All were present excepting
Secretary Bclknap, who Is absent in
the West. The subject Of our rela
tions with Venezuela was laid before
the council by Secretary Fish, who
read the latest com aunications from
our minister in tlat country and sta
ted the general tacts in the case, 1t
may be recollected that in December
1879, the President announced that the
government of Venezuela had made
no further payments on account of the
awards under the convention of 1866,
and expressed the hope that it would
lose no time in providing for the un-
paid balance of its debt to the United
States, which having originated In in
1uries to our citizens by the Venezue-
Ian authorities, and having been ao-
knowledged, pursuant to treaty, in
s'N iihOlt 'OiChih AL LII dillOHR udllOuSt
would, the President said, seem to de-
serve preference over other debts of
different origin and contracted in
different manners and he recommended
this subject TO theattention ofCongress
for such action as might be deemed
proper. In pursuance of this recon-
mendation, Congress, in a joint reso-
luton, expressed its sence III regard to
the awards Of the joint commission
under the convention, and the Vene-
zuelan government was furnished With
a copy of the resolution, which exclu-
ded all doubt of the carnestness Of our
Government in its demand for the pay
mont of the amount due, But there
was no satisfactory response on the
part of Venezuela.
In 1873 the President in his annual
message said to Congress; 1T is ap-
pretended that government does not
realize the character OF its obligations
under that convention. As there 10
reason to believe, however, that its
hesitancy In recognizing them springs
in part, at least, from real difficulty tE
discharging them in connection Will
Its obligations to other governments,
the expedlency of further forbearance
on our part is believed to be worthy
of your consideration" Since then
our minister at Venezuela has been re-
peatedly instructed to urge the pay
ment of the deferred installments, till
at last the Venezuelan government has
expressed disposition to pay them,
but claims the privilegs Of designating
the particular parties to whom the
money shall be paid. To this our
Government will not consent, the pro
position, apart from from other cousid
ations, being contrary to the terms of
the convention. The Venezuelan gov
ernment will be informed of the re-
lection of Its proposition, and unless
the money shall be paid as the stlpula
tion requires, our minister will rroba
bly, be Withdrawn.

Fatal Accident.
A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH BY POUR
ING COAL OIL ON A FIRE.

A WOMAN BURNED TO DEATH BY POUR
ING COAL OIL ON FIRE.
About 2;45 o'clock, yesterday after
noon, a terrible and fatal accident oc.
CURED at No. 212 Madison street ow-
ing to the careless use of coal oil. Mrs.
Ellen Griffith, who occupied portion
Of the above residence was engaged In
making fire, and as it kindled slowly
she poured coal oil over the wood to
hasten the fire. AS a natural result the
dangerous oil burned up with sudden
flash, and before Mrs. Griffith could re-
treat her dress caught fire and in an In
stant she was wrapped in sheet of
flame. The family of Mr.. Smith, who
reside in the same house were soon at
tractcd by the screams of the unfortu-
nate women, and extinguished the
flames as soon as possible. A son of
MIR. Smith had his hands and arms bad
ly burned, while assisting in this work
The flames were finally smothered,
but not until they had burned the poor
victim In terrible manner about the
breast arms and face. In fact, she was
almost roasted, aud pieces of burned
flesh dropped from her person before
she died.
DR.. Blocksom, who was at once call
ed in did all possible to relieve her suf-
fcrings, but after several hours of
agonizing pain, she expired about
seven O'Clock In the evening.
The saddest part of this mournful
casualty Is that the deceased had been
frequently warned against this care
less habit OF pouring coal oil on the
fire, but she paid no heed to these
friendly admonitions. Her terrible
fate should be an effective warning to
those who still persist in the practice.
Coroner Groves has been notified,
and Will hold an inquest.
