As Others See Is =.

Eastern journalists cast envious
eyes toward their brethren in this
part Of the country. They are told
that Cheyenne's editors are rolling
in wealth ; that We have 50 much
money we don't know what to do
with it; that We are living ia the
greatest luxury ; that oar copy is
furnished the printers on ivory
tablets, and the type " set in silver
I" sticks with rules of gold ;
that u wives are laden down with
shining diamonds that everything
which wealth can purchase is used
to adorn our offices and houses, and
that we, pulled up with wealth and
pride, scarce deign to notice common
and less fortunate mortals.
This opinion is formed by our
brethren of the press because they
believe the Black Hills to be a
gigantic Fraud and that this being
the case, our merchants load US down
with wealth in order hat we may
not desist from publishing glowing
accounts of the riches of the Hills
and the advantages of Cheyenne as
an QUILTING point therefor. 1t is
claimed by these Eastern igno-
ramuses that the Union Pacific
Railroad is also interested in the
supposed swindle, and subsidies
Cheyenne editors, and those OF
Omaha and intermediate towns as
well, for the same purpose.
We have known that this has been
the opinion of our Eastern brethren
for a long time, and each train from
the East brings fresh evidence of its
widespread prevalence.
AS WE ARE.
Could these misguided people
visit our, town, inspect our news
paper Offices, see our writers working
night and day to gather the news
for the benefit of our readers-who
but lightly appreciate our labors,
condemn our errors, and obstruct
the gathering of news-they would
change their opinions with remarka-
Bile s~uddenness. They might visit
our hotels, whose proprietors have
been benefited more than any other
class of business men, and they
would see one or two sending out of
the Territory for all of their job
printing, two or three others using
rubber stamps for cards, envelopes,
and letter headings, while the same
style prevails among business men,
instead of their patronizing the
printers who have built up the town
and made their business what it is
to-day. At the same time they
would hear on every hand the brags
of business men who, because per-
chance, they are carrying a one
square card in these columns and
paying the paltry sum of twenty
five cents per week fora copy of our
daily, must tell everybody what a
terrible drain these newspapers are
upon the purses of the people and
thems slves in particular.
We have written the truth only
concerning the Black Hills, and we
have written nothing but the truth
in this article, but we expect the
doubling Thomases for whose bene-
fit this is intended will not believe
us.

THE BLACK HILLs.-A letter re-
ceived from b. +. Workman, of Yam
Hill, by Gold creek friend, speaks
discouragingly of the Black Hills.
Mr.. Workman is good miner. and
we know him to be thoroughly re-
liable man. lie is Terrence Brady's
partner. He aud Brady have a claim
and are sinking shaft. They have
no pay yet, but are not to bedrock.
He thinks probably one or two claims
he has seen will pay, but there is no
substantial cause yet made manifest
for the excitement about the Black
Hills mines. The ground is all taken
up. There are no bar diggings, and
the gulches are fat-have little fall.
All miners know what that meaus-
very expensive mining. Our Mon
tana miners had better think twice
before they go. The country is lite
rally overcrowded with stampeders.
Those going now and hereafter will
have no show for claims. With all
the glittering stories told of the Black
Hills mines, we incline 70 the opinion
that there has not yet been found any
ground there that pays half as well
rs the poorest of Montana gulches
that have been worked. 1t smacks
offraud in all its phases. Theremay
be mines found there; it is not i'm
probable this stampede will result in
that find; but it will be west OF the
Black Hills. Our Montana stamped
ers have but one show of success--to
goacross the country and find mines
this side of the present focus. There

HARBOR MATTERS.

Retrenchment seems to be the order Of
the day in both political parties in Con-
gress. Already there is talk in the DOM
inant party in the House of large saw
ing in the appropriation estimates. among
other items proposed to be cut off entire
ly, or materially reduced, is that of har-
Dor improvements. 1t is proposed to re-
duce the appropriations in this depart
ment to merely nominal figure, by cut
ting off all new work entirely, aud all
partially completed work except perhaps
that which is nearly done. That there
might be large saving in government
expenses there is no doubt, but to stop all
work throug bout the country upon har-
Dor improvements would in our opinion
be calamity which would in the end
cost the country many times the amount
saved. The welfare of the western states
depends largely upon the facilities and
cheapness of transportation from west to
east. All the improvements which are
put upon the lake harbors, which tend to
increase the safety Of navigation, and all
of them do that, have tendency to reduce
the cost of transportation in the exact
proportion that it reduces the risk.
Should the proposition above mention
ed be carried out it is diff cult to tell just
what effect it would have upon our har-
Dor prospects. Some effort would at least
be required to secure an appropriation
for completing the imp rovement, even if
it should be classed as nearly completed.
If no such sweeping action be taken it
will doubtless require some effort to Sc
cure such an appropriation as we should
have, in the face of the efforts which will
be made to reduce the the appropriations
in all departments.

That there will be dry dock construct
ed somewhere on the Straits of Mackinaw
within very short period of time there is
no doubt. That Cheboygan is the most
desirable place onthe straits for this pur-
pose there is also no doubt. Still there
is such thing very possible that the
dock may 60 somewhere else if Cheboy-
gan does not push the matter as its inn
portance demands. With those who are
solicited to invest money in the enter
prise the question naturally arises. Will
it pay? To this the natural situation of
the place, taken in connection with its
location in relation to the shipping inter-
ests, answers in the affirmative, if the
business be well managed. We do not
think there would be dry dock upon
the lakes where the location alone would
draw the business that one here would.
A disabled vessel from Lake Superior
would naturally come to this place for
repairs rather than risk passage across
the lakes to Chicago, Milwaukee or De-
troit. The straits alone are fruitful
cause OF disasters, being, perhaps, the
most dangerous sailing ground upon the
inland waters. Of course this business
would all come here. Vessels on their
way either east or west, if more than
half way either from Detroit or Chicago,
would continue their journey and stop
here for repairs.
1t is the opinion of the TRIBUNE that
a dry dock at this place would, if well
managed, do more business than any
one upon the lakes. All that is necessary
to secure the construction of dry dock
at this place is to convince capitalists of
the advantages, and the profitableness of
the investment. To do this is the prov
ince or the Improvement Association, as
we'll as every citizen OF the place. We
should not relax our efforts in the least
because there seems to be small pros
pect OF parties making the investment.
Until there is certainty no effort to this
end should be spared. s.a,

MICHIGAN AND THE cENrENN1AI.

AS the time for the opening of the
great Centennial exhibition approaches
the more we can see the total inadequacy
OF the appropriation made by the last
Legislature for the proper representation
of Michigan at Philadelphia. 1t seems
10 us that the members of the Legislature
failed to realize the importance of being
represented in a becoming manner at
that exhibition. Michigan could, had the
Legislature seen fit to appropriate a suf-
ficient sum, have put in an appearance at
the Centennial in such a manner as
would have placed her in the first rank
of Western states. Michigan has without
doubt the most diversified industry of
any western state, and attractions for
capital and labor that no other state east
or west possess. Michigan has natural IA
cilities for placing herself in the front
rank of American states, which are equal
ed by no other state. Surrounded al
most by water her fishing interests are
net equaled by any. Her mining inter-
csts copper. iron and silver would make
q showing there which would call the at
tention of the whole world to her, while
in numbering she stands at the heal; no
other state possesses the variety of timber
which is found within her borders. In
agriculture she is not behind. 1t would
have been worth to the state many times
its cost, had the Legislature made suf.
ficient appropriation, that the Centennial
Commissioners could have gone on and
completed their work without being
hampered and tied down to certain mat
tiers, important. though they be, by I
lack of money to make them wha
they should be. What the Legislature
tailed to do an attempt has been made t.
do by private means, and much has beer
done in this way, but Michigan canno
expect to be so well represented q
though the state had been a little NOR
liberal in the beginning. There will
probably not be another such an opp0r
tunity for this state to show the wOrl,
the advantages she possesses, for anothe
hundred years, SO it behooves every citi
zen of the state to do all that is ia hi
power to advance Michigan's interest i,

Ohio road was the dog in. the manager;
now, that road having come to terms,
a quarrel has arisen between the Grand
Trunk of Canada and the American
trunk lines. The former road being
much the longer in distance, requires
twenty -four hours more time on freights
between Boston and the west,than do the
American roads, and to Offset this it
claims that itshould be allowed to carry
at lower rate, as otherwise it would be
unable to secure its share of the trade.
To this the American lines refuse to
agree, but Mr.. Joy expresses himself as
sanguine that sooner or later the business
at such ruinous rates as are now current
being no longer worth contendng for,
harmony will be restored, when all the.
roads will be enabled to earn and make
reasonable dividends. He particularly
presses the fact that the disaster is. the
resultof causes wholly beyond the con-
troll of the Central company, and which
must be but temporary N their character.

THE hundreds of consumers of Bah
bits soap will be interested TO learn that
they not only helped Mr.. Babbitt him.
self to fortune, but supported two of
his clerks very handsomely. One of
them, who was discharged not long since,
was arrested last week on the charge of
stealing 100000 from his employer dur
ing the eight years he was with him as
his confidential clerk and business mana
ger. 1t is said that he got the idea from
an examination of the books of the previ-
Gus clerk, his predecessor, who had also
been defaulter to large amount with
out exciting the suspicious of Mr.. Babbitt.
The profits on the soap were so enor-
nous that these thefts went OH for years
without awakening the proprietOr's at
tention. He was so satisfied with the
prosperousness of his business. as indica-
ted by what the thieves left him, that he
never dreamed he was making more than
this. The plan on which they operated
was to deduct a regular ten per cent.
commission on all sales, or add ten per
cent. to all purchases. Seven hundred
thousand stolen dollars would have
cleaned out almost anybody but soap
man.

EDITORIAL NOTES.

IT is begin ming to be believed in some
quarters that, after all, the present session
of Congress will turn out one of the most
profitless we have had for years. Neither
party will probably be able to GARY out
any definite line of policy, but both will
simply waste their energies in puerile at
tempts to injure each other with refer
ence to the Presidential canvass.
