Only five more days remain before the end
of the present dscal year, and yet Congress
is still In deadlock over a number OF
highly important appropriation bills. The
President has done his whole duty in point
ing out 10 the legislative branch OF the gov
eminent the embarrassing consequences Of
failure 10 pass these bills before the end OF
the present month, and with Congress now
rests the responsibility. The differences be-
tween the two houses seem to be OF such q
serious character that they cannot possibly
be reconciled by the LIST proximo. In view
OF the peculiar circumstances OF the case,
and the gravity OF the situation, IL Is again
suggested that Congress speedily adopt the
recommendation of the President By tempo
rsTily re-eu acting last years appropriation
bill.

30 many conflicting reports in regard to
The au-iferOus character Of the Black Hills
have been published that the public is still
undecided as TO the desirableaess OF that
country az a mining region. An old Nevada
miner, now In the Hills, writes to his brother
In this city to say that the claims there pay
al the way from 50 cents 10 zoo per day,
and that persons who say there is no gold
there are simply Ignorant. Miners wages
are from - TO IS per day. -four is SIS per 100
pounds, sugar 10 cents, bacon IS cents, and
beers cents per pound. Letters cost the re-
ceiver nfiy cents each, as there Is no post
Office at Custer City, and they are forwarded
by private enterprise. The Postmaster Gem
eral very properly takes the ground that
the people In the Hills are there without au-
thority, and therefore are not justly entitled
70 any postal facilities.

which reminds the reader OF some OF the ut

I rayelers calculate that there were one thousand
Indian slaves In New Orleans &C the beginning
of the present century out of total OF less than
eicht Thousand. Where are they nowy 1t is
generally supposed that they have melted away
into the negroes; indeed. all the arstocratic Old
o,lored families claim Indian parentage to ex-
main for the chocolate in their compilations.
Perhaps this may account for the fact that Lou
Is lana negroes are 50 much more turbulent and
ts,use 80 many, more difficulties and en'eutes

Neither he. nor Warmoth. nor Ludeling. would
have figured so very prominently in politics

A system like this would be- the ruin OF Radical
