"The Coming Empire is the title of
work by Ii. N. Mcguire, to be issued
from the press of Rand, McNally & Co.,
Chicago, about the first of May. 1t will
be a treatise on the mineral and material
resources of the Black Hills, Big Horn
and Yellowstone regions, including the
latest developments and discoveries in
each, spiced with anecdotes of adven-
lures and profasely illustrated. Ihe
author is well known in the Hills, where
be has spent the greater part of the last
two years, and is in hearty sympathy
with our interests. Black Hills Journal.
Mr.. Mcguire was editor of the RECORD
about five years ago, and is ready and
fluent writer; in fact, as to our way of
thinking, "Mac" was tho only person
who ever had charge of the editorial por-
ton of this concern who kenw how to
run it, and if it was not for little Incl
dent, yet green in our memory, when
Mac was connected with this concern, we
would wish him success with his book.
Mac, like many of our craftsmen. at one
time loved the bug juice" to excess, but
having reformed, he was bitterly OPP
posed to oil who drank anything stronger
than lemonade-w without "stick" in it.
Some parties came to town, and were
united in the holy bonds of matrimony,
and desiring to get little notice in the
paper, the groom gave Mac five dollars
and told him to treat the "boys." Well,
about one O'Clock the next morning, after
the type had all been set, Mac came in
the Office with his arms full of sweet
bread. placed it on the stone. and told
the boys to pitch in. He WAS requested
to produce the life invigorater," and
then he began loDg-winded speech,
saying: "You all know my feelings
about such matters. and my conscience
would not permit me to procure any
liquor and tempt my fellowman to de-
struction." A cake and water clay out"
at one o'clock in the morning was repug-
nant to the poor typoes weak stomach,
so, in disgust. they took their departure.
leaving Mac to deyour the water and
cake. The Lord is good, kind and gener-
GUS; he may forgive Mac for committing
such an outrageous act, but We never

GOVERNOR BRADLEY.

The Virginia Footlight comes out and
speaks the following very truthful and
pretty little piece in favor OF Governor
Bradley being renominated for the third
term. We quote: "As it is now recog-
nized fact that Governor Bradley will be
candidate before the Democratic State
Convention, for nomination, a few words
as to his position may not be amiss. The
memorable struggle made in behalf of the
Compro mise. or "nutriment," Bill at
the last Legislature, was the most bitter
and vicious ever known in the legisla-
tive history of our State. All the iufiu-
ence and prestige of unlimited wealth
was brought to bear, but the brave old
Governor turned deaf ear. and. unlike
too many Of our legislators. never for
one moment for got his honor. his
pledges, or his faith to the people. His
veto filled the bonanza chieftain and his
parasites with ungovernab!e rage. They
cursed the gray hairs whitened by years
Of honor. They threatened to chastise
the aged body which fearlessly stood bs-
tween them and the rights Of the people,
who had honored him with their conf
dence and their SURFACES. They tipped
with gold the pens Of men who professed
to be Democratic journalists, and who,
Instead of giving the old man words OF
comfort, of cheer and encouragement, in
his battle for the people, against bull
wark of bonanza millions, they hesped
upon him every epithet their vocabulary
of virtuperation contained. But even
while their curses and threats were fresh.
there flashed a message across the con-
tinent. from the Supreme Court of the
United States, rendering decision in
the bonanza suits. which sustained and
strengthened. morally and legally, the
position 80 courageously assumed by the
Governor. The people, too. we'll under
stand why the monopolies prefer Hager-
man, they fully appreciate the reasons
which actuate the so-called Democratic
journals, the Chronicle and Eureka Sem
tinel, in advocating his claims and ridi-
culipg those of man who has done
more than all Others to strengthen and
consolidate the Democratic party in this
State, who placed himself at the head OF
its weak and whitening ranks, and on
two hard fought battle.felds led them to
victory"
