on time.
Lew Swan is in the city, having come
down out of the Chug-Water country
yesterday.
The second story front of the mag
nifcent Masonic Temple is in place,
and is a fine piece of work.
THE LEADER wants laboring mems
wages limited to s1.00 per day. [Sun.
And in the above the sun man lies
most diabolically. Next.
Some hungry thief or thieves entered
the slaughter-house of J. f. Roth, Fri
day night, and carried away the entire
carcass of a fine, fat steer.
Another pleasing Terpsichorean en-
tertainment is announced by Prof. Gal
loway, whose class and regular soiree
occurs tomorrow evening ut Recrca-
ton Hall.
Three cars of mdse., 3 of corn and l
of chairs for Cheyenne, will arrive from
the east to-day. One car of salt and /
of canned goods arrived from the west
last night.
Workmen were engaged yesterday in
setting poles for the fire alarm telegraph
line, between the corner of 18th and
Ferguson streets and the Court House,
where a box will be placed.
Mr.. J. 7. Earl has been presented
with a magnificent box of specimens of
minerals and precious stones from the
Rocky mountains, by Dan Crapp, n
brother clerk. Mr.. Earl will send the
box east to his wife.
The expenses of our city government
for the year 1877 were S44, GAG. 4S-with
several large bills yet to be presented.
All honest citizens, whether Taxpayers
or otherwise, desire to know where this
money has been invested.
Our city contemporaries are engaged
in the diversion of publishing occasional
pictorial editions, with apt illustrations
of each others foiblcs. Each drops an
occasional sop to ''working men," as
this is about election time, you know.
All of which, re rise to remark, is very
amusing to outsiders. "Simon says
wiggle-waggle !"
Although the annual statement of
the city's affairs, which should have
been published n week ago, has been
purposely delayed until the eve of cleo
ton, the people know how matters
stand and propose to make a change.
The expenses of Cheyenne for 1877
were in round numbers fifty thousand
dollars, which is too much by Just
twenty-five thousand dollars.
Our citizens should be SURE and re-
member the grand ball of the boys of
the Pioneer Hook and Ladder company.
Let proper encouragement in II pecu-
MARY way-fOr money talks-be given
to this deserving organization, in the
purchase of a goodly number of tickets.
The affair occurs at McDaniel's New
Theatre, on Monday evening, Jan. 18th.
Don't miss it.
Fisk and his friends charge that THE
LEADER is making a dirty, personal
fight against him. This is far from the
truth. If THE LEADER should make
the fight II personal one, Cheyenne
would soon become too hot to hold
Fisk. Tue LEADER is fighting the
peoples battle, and not the battles of
its attaches. 1t is the battle of honesty
and economy against extravaganza and
iobbery.
A communication signed &C. is re-
ceived. 1t commends the action of the
peoples meetings and the convention,
and so far is all right. 1t also speaks
of the opposition individually, in other
than courteous terms. Such language
cannot be admitted into the columns of
THE LEADER, no matter the source,
or its intention. We propose to win
this fight only by the use of what we
deem legitimate and honorable means.
a special rate of 49, 80 per hundred is
now made from st. Louis to Fort
Yuma, Arizona, via the Union and
Central Pacific. This rate is given
irrespective of class, but only extends
to freight consigned to Arizona points
via Fort Yuma. This rate is very low
being only about half what it is to Salt
Lake City, which is something like
half way. The design of the rate is to
cut off competition for Arizona trade
via the Denver & Rio Grande Rail
way.
A Gentle Caution.
Wonder if Fisk and certain of his
followers will! electioneer on this, the
Lords day We hope for the sake of
