The Ranchmen Of Our Plains and Hills.

There are a great many men in the
remote valleys of this territory who
have been there for years, and they de-
serve, as class, special mention. They
cast their lots with Wyoming long be-
fore the railroad was built, or even
thought of, and, accustomed to hard
ship and privations, they look at life
from practical standpoint. Many of
them are the owners of large herds of
cattle and bands of horses, and live re-
mote from civilization, depending upon
their rifles for protection against the
Indians. They are cool-headed, wiry
men, capable of any amount of suffer-
ing, and they are almost to man ex-
cellent shots, and the noble red man(?)
is well aware of the fact, and gives
them a wide berth. If band of these
marauding thieves is seen in the vicini-
ty of ranch ponies are saddled, and
though there may be but two or three
of these brave men, they do not hesi-
tate to give them warm reception. 1t
is fight or death, and many of these
men are strangers to fear. They are
kind-hearted and liberal, and if night
overtakes you, or storm sets in, you
are sure of kindly welcome at their
rude, though comfortable, dwellings.
Now and then they find their way to
railroad station and eagerly inquire for
the news. A paper a month old is
feast, and if you give one dozen cop
les of late papers he is your sworn
friend, and looks upon you as being one
of the most liberal of your species.
Some of them are covered with scars,
and not a few have really been scalped
and left for dead.

The Cabinet and That Bill.

Washington, Jan. 24.-While the
statement is made that the President is
favorably inclined to the electoral COM
promise bill, it is ascertained that all
members of the cabinet with the excep-
tion of Secretary Fish, are opposed to
it and will not favor its being signed if
passed and submitted to the President.
Unless the bill is promptly signed and
not retained for consideration for a few
days, it will become imperative, The
opponents of the bill feel sanguine that
the measure will not receive the Presi-
dents approval without full considera-
ton.
