Blaek Hi11. Items,

Z We are informed the project Of con-
structing narrow guage railroad to the
Black Hills from Bismarck is again re-
ceiving the earnest attention of Mime
sofa and Northern Dakota capitalists.
They are now satisfied, it seems, that
the investment would prove safe and
good, and the necessary ducats are ready
when the organization shall have been
completed of the proposed company.
It is proposed if the Enterprise is taken in
hand, to push it through with all expe-
dition so as to give us our first railroad
connection. The projectors say they
could complete the road and have it in
running order in a single season. The
great race will probably be between this
company and the Niobrara corporation
of Sioux City and Nebraska; but the
latter has on its side the advantage Of
perfected organization and much work
already done.
A short visit to Crook City on Thurs
day, besides giving our paper large adj
ditional list Of subscribers and convinc-
ing our reporter that the little valley
hamlet is chock full of enterprise aAd
enterprising men, satisfies us that Crook
has fair future before it, and that when
the present generation have all left the
Black Hills, to "'ills they wot not Of
the hungry and thirsty traveller will be
registering his name at four-story brick
Crook City hotels, and playing croquet
on the lawn with the fair maids of the
now little, but then big city. Bro Burke
of the Tribune, than whom there is no
more courteous or wide-awake man inf
the West, thinks the same, and deserves
to live long enough to see the realization
of the prophecy. .
The firm Of Janney, Molles & Brooks,
wholesale hardware and grocery mer-
chants, that has been doing business here
for about two months, have conclusively
proven what has always been claimed
for this town, namely, that here at the.
foothills is where our wholesale stores
and main supply depots should be located.
This house, which is a branch of the well
known and wealthy firm of Minneapolis,
Mimi, after looking over the country
carefully, concluded that their business
would be equally as good if not better
here than at Deadwoed, besides saving
the enormous rents and the danger from
fire. They have sold in the short time
they have been here an immense guam
tity of goods and are satisfied with their
choice Of location.-Crook CITY Tribune.

"British butchers are mad as hornets
over the arrival Of American beef, but
still their customers continue to remark,
Hill take hanother steak hoff that
Hamerican hox."
And well they may, for American
beef can be furnished in England at two
thirds The price which has been charged
for English beef. A little over a year
ago the experiment Of shipping dressed
meats to England in vessels containing
refrigerati1g compartments, was inaugur-
ated. 1t has been greater success than
its most sanguine friends anticipated.
Cattle on foot are also successfully ship
ped, and the result is it is revolutionizing
the English market. But we wish to
speak of the result at home and its effect
on our interests. The benefit to our
stock raisers is already apparant from
the increased activity in the markets,
and it is hard to say where English de-
mand will stop. To say the least it is
already huge in its proportions, with
only years trial; but we have the "a
cilities to furnish them in any amount.
We have taken good deal of pains
recently to look up this stock business, as
it directly interests the citizens of Bis
marck, while the country Immediately
about us is good stock country and will
yield splendid returns to all engaging in
it, yet the particular point to which
we wish to call attention is that this new
ly created English demand for American
meats may be the means of opening up
a trade between this point and Montana
| which will be simply immense. We
have taken pans to gather information
from every old Montana resident we
could find, and all unite in declaring the
valleys of Montana to be the finest gra-
zing country in the world. Cattle and
sheep live out all winter without a par
ticle Of feed other than they get them
selves, and come out in the spring rolling
fat.
| This is 10 fancy picture, but is SUBJ
stantiated by every old resident and the
army officers who have been stationed
there, and, more than this, the quality of
meat from Montana cattle is universally
admitted to be superior to any known.
A few droves have come into our market
already, and no finer beef cattle have
ever been here. As an illustration OF the
superiority of Montana cattle: A gentle
man, residing in Minneapolis who had a

We have added the last three States to
the above to show how little warrant
there Is for the oft-repeated assumption
that the North as whole is anti-Demo-
cratic. In his own State the new Presi
dent had only seven thousand majority
out of vote of nearly seven hundred
thousand; and If Thurman had been
nominated, the. State would undoubtedly
have gone Democratic. AS it is, the
Democrats had very large majority in
the whole country of the popular vote
and a powerful following in every State
of the Union.
The facts;thus presented should teach
moderation and courtesy to both parties.
The Republicans, once more in power,
but having a minority of the popular
vote, ought fer this reason to conciliate
the opposition where this can bs done
without any sacrifice of their cherished
convictions, and not exercise their au-
thority to purpetuate. the irritations of the

MOTION VS.. SCHuRZ.

Senator Morton seems to be profoundly
disguised with Carl Schurx. He is re-
ported to have said that Schurz had been
repudiated by every party, and by Ger
many and America alike, and that for
one thousand dollars he could be hired
TO speak on any side. Whether Mr..
Morton considers this q high price we do
not know. Perhaps he does, for he has
spoken himself on both sides for much
less. No man in the republican party has
dealt more frankly, directly and honestly
with public questions and public men
than Carl Schurz. It is only on the
theory that Cameron, Blaine and Morton
are standard types of practical statesmen
that he can be pronounced q failure. Mr..
Morton is mistaken in saying that Sch1rz
has been repudiated by Germany and
America alike. I 1t Is only The despotic

can majority, and the like "correcton''

given for him." He probably referred to
the Electoral vote, but even here he was
wrong, as the six votes of Connections,

was not as one-sided as commonly repre-
