TurnEnr the TnhIes.

Political affairs pass through
strange revolutions. When we just
began to study politics, the New
York Tribune devoted large por-
ton of its space and warfare upon
the Harpers, on account of their
pro-slavery tendencies. Now the
Tribune is on the other side and
Harper Overfiows with lampoons
against the pro-rebel Tribune, more
over, the old "flre-in- the-rear" Chi
cago Times edited by the same old
Story, now is favoring Grant and
Sheridan. The world turns round
even if it fails to GO ahead.

at least. The pickings won't be quite
so rich, but they will be good
enough for a hard time. And we
doubt not all the public institutions
will bear overhauling, and that
money enough can be saved from
each one to pay the time and trou-
bic necessary. We urge that all be
treated alike and without gloves.
There should be no appropriation
to the State Board OF Agriculture
for the purpose of holding a Fair.
The Fairs haYe always been fail
ures, and there is no more necessity
for appropriating money for them
than for county fairs. They ought
to stand on their own footing.
We confidently expect that trans
cribing The journals and cognate
work occurring after the adj
iournment Of the Legislature will
be honestly and fairly done, and at
q saving over similar work for last
year Of at least $1,000. This will,
also, save at least as much in the
printing.
Any observant member of the
Legislature can readily add to the
above enumeration, and can, also, If
so minded, enforce 9 degree of care
and economy which will be shown
In great saving to the State. 1t will
not be hard to save $4,000 to $780,
900, and the Legislature will fall far
short of its duty If this is not done.

EDITOR NRws The northeast part
of Lyon county received its proportion
of chinch bugs, dry weather and grass
hoppers the past summer.
The most important question that
agitates the farmer at the present time
is, how are we to procure seed OF the
various kinds to plant the coming
spring. Unless there is some way by
which we may procure our seeds, that
is yet unknown to US, there will be q
good deal of land idle. Yet there is
not a farmer who could not buy all the
seed he needs If there was what could
be called sale for stock.
The amount of wheat sown last
tall was limited. Yet it looks well for
the amount of cold weather we have
had this winter.
As yet stock looks well for being
wintered on hay only. W.

THE STATE SCHOOL PVrNr..

Senator Horton has introduced a
bill in the State Senate providing for
the exchange of 100000 State
bonds now IN the permanent state
schocCI fund for an equal amonnt of
the relief bonds of the western
counties. The proposition does not
meet with favor on the part of the
members from the western coun-
ties, who have apparently resolved
that they will accept no burdens as
the result of their misfortune, bnt
that the consequences should fall
alike on the whole state. Our OBJ
jections to it is not of that character,
however; but is based on distrust
of all meddling with the invested
school funds. The report of the
Treasurer shows that very much of
the investment already made of the
permanent school fund of the state
has been in inferior, and even in
some cases absolutely worthless Sc
curities. There should be no moro
of this. The sacred trust com nit
ted to this generation on behalf of
all succeeding ones should be faith
fully administered, and no consid-
erations other than those directly
affecting the fund itself should be
allowed to influence legislation con-
corning 1t. The bonds OF the wes-
tern counties may be good-but
their possession by the school fund
will be perpetual inducement to
combinations to release the obliga-
tons. they impose, while the state
will hardly enforce payment of
either principal or interest if refus-
ed-at least it never has done so in
the case of taxes levied for general
purposes.
Whatever the gravity of the pres
ent situation and the need for money
to relieve destitutIon, we cannot
conceive of a case strong enough to
warrant meddling with the school
fund. 1t would be a dangerous
precedent to say the least,

EAGLE CREEK.

EDITOR NEWS There is one gen.
sTal cry going up all over this country,
how am to supper my family until
1 raise crop? There are many fami-
lies in this county that are actually
suffering for food and clothing, and
are needing aid from some source, and
that soon. And many horses are dy-
ing for the want of feed. The ques-
ton is. how are we to meet the de-
mands of the needy and save the cred
it of our country. I, for one, believe
that there is enough provisions in Ly-
on county, if properly distributed, to
supply the wants of every family actu-
ally in need in the county, and it is
extremely necessary that we act Justly
and economically in this matter, and
have the aid that is furnished go where
it actually belongs.
A person who has one hundred bush
els of wheat in the granary, or one
who has $500 on interest and thirty
head of cattle, does not, in my opinion,
need aid. Those cases have come to
my knowledge is why write this ar
ticle; for 1 deem it the duty of every
citizen of the county to take an inter-
est in this matter, and see to it that
those that receive aid are in need of it,
and none others. will suggest plan
which, think, would be a good one,
and likely to give satisfaction. Let
the county commissioners form a COM
mittee in each township, of reliable
men-the town-trustee to be one of
said committee-the duty of said COM
mittee to receive and distribute aid,
and to ascertain, by personal visits,
who are actually in need of assistance.
I think in this way there would be
none to receive aid who are not in
need of it. AS citizens of Lyon coun-
ty we should look we'll to her interests.
And I will say that there are other
matters of great importance that should
be looked into. They originate at our
court house, and I will speak of them
some other time. Economy and equal
Justice to our fellow man should be
our motto. What would Mr. c. V. Z.
say if he was asked to use his influ-
ence and vote to license murder and
robbery? More anon. j. n. NJ.

-UnprCjudiced people hereabouts
will be unable 10 account for the
spirit of fault-inding manifested by
Hayfurd, Bramel or other Wyoming
printers, in regard to the law provi-
ding for the printing of the laws of
the Territory. Under that law every
printer here has the same chance of
getting the contract the LEADER
has certainly no advantage
over any of its competitors. The
market IL open to them, they can in
vest three or four thousand dollars in
additional material, MS the LEADER
establishment proposes to do, and
thus they will he enabled to turd out
as good work and rs quickly as any
printing establishment in the eust or
west. The LEADER asks for no favors;
we are willing Ia compete with our
contemporaries and are satisfied to
let the lowest bidder take the job.
The fractions opposition to the
printing of the laws, exhibited by
Hayford and Bramel, is thoroughly
understood by everybody. The for
mer wanted To do the work in Dies
Mnines; but he was foiled in that ;
hence his outrageous attacks upon
the legislature and the members of
the committee who have charge of
the work. Bramel favored the
plnn. worked and voted for il, and
asked 10 be appointed Superintend-
ent Of printing but he failed in his
scheme, and now fights the execution
of the law with all means, no matter
how dishunorable, at his command
We do not believe hat the majority
of the committee will be influenced
either by Hayfnrd's misrepreSenta-
lions, or by the false position Bramel
has assumed since the adjournment
of the legislature.

upon a law which was passed 10y our
late Legislators in the interest of the
people OF the whole Territory.
Bramel and Hayfurd have over
shot the mark, hence the whole mat
ter of printing the laws will be duly
considered upon its merits; the law
will be executed in a which
will be deemed best by the committee

Important Letter from the Black Hills.

Important Letter from the Black Hills.
SPRING CREEK, BLACK HILLS,
JENNEY's MININo DISTRICT,
Dec. Goth, 1878.
EDITOR CHEYENNE LEADER:
Dear Sir:-I left o u city about the
18th Of September last. was captured
on the 9th Of November by U. S.
troops, on Castle Creek, the day after
my arrival in the Hills was taken to
the stockade on French Creek where
/ remained under guard for ten days,
when I was taken TO FoTt Laramie by
the way OF Red Cloud.
l refitted my outfit and on the first
day OF December l left the Fort with
the advice and consent OF the officers,
in company with forty-two men, and
we arrived on Spring Creek on the
18Th day OF December.
On our way out we found the re-
mains OF l.. Kise who was killed
about the 9th day OF November, in
company, At the time OF his death,
with NJ. jackson. We buried the
body about three hundred yards from
the stockade on Beaver Greek. Mr..
Kise was oue Of our company on our
first trip To the Hills.
Mr.. HOllenGeck, late OF Cheyenne,
who was employed to haul Mr.. Irwiu's
outfit to the Hills, was taken sick on
the road out, and although he received
every attention possible, lie died, on
the morning Of the Iolh inst, and was
buried this morning OH Spring Greek.
\ large number OF miners attended
his funeral.
The miners are NJ work on this
creek, that Is TO say, three or -four sets
Of sluices are running; others are
building cabins and preparing their
ground for Spring work. We have
no snow in the Hills; some Of the
shallow sluggish streams are frozen
over, but the principal creeks are free
from ice. The bunch grass on the
hills, among the pines and in the val
ley, is green from two to four inches
above the roots. The miners have
located aud commenced IA city, under
the name, style and TITLE of Hill City,
which is located mt the forks or juno
ton of Newton's Fork and Spring
Creek. This city Is built on a CO.
operative plan 10y the miners for bust
ness and a future home. 1t Is truly n
beautiful location, central to all the
mines HAT have been discovered up to
date. 1t is situated eighteen miles
west of north from Clusters Park or
French Creek, and fifteen miles east
of south from the discovery OH Castle
Creek, and fifteen miles from Rapid
Creek or Camp Crook, six miles from
Jenney's discovery on Spring Creek,
and nm the main th%oroughfare to the
late discoveries. About forty houses
are now under construction.
A few merchants with Il well selec-
ted stock for the miners use could do
a good business at this point aus soon
MS they could reach here. Every day
miners are leaving the Hills for the
settlements for supplies, with pack
animals;thereareseveral hundred men
now In the hills. The road is good
and accessible at all = We feel
the want of II saw mill, as we are
confined to the primitive whip saw.
Very truly,
l.. @. FAILING.
