THE debating society, which was re-
Gently organized in Cheyenne. gives
promise of stability. AS a friendly
warning, however, we would suggest
that 1t steer entirely free from the
questions which have been debated
time out of mind. If the living and
important questions Of the day be dis
cussed there will be M lack of interest.
They may be in the domain Of politics,
science, sociology, or religion-which-
ever one is %uppermost in the public
mind. Their analyzation cannot but
prove profitable and interesting.

THE growth of socialism in Berlin
has been something remarkable, judg-
ing from the election returns. The
vote for social democratic candidates
for municipal offices was in 1867, 60; in
1871, 1861; in 1874, 11,971;.in 1877,
1882, and in 1873, 56,336. The severe
laws passed to check the movement
have not therefore proved the most
~effectual preventive.

THE Columbus, Miss, Hder, lays

THE Columbus, Miss, mder, lays
down the platform of the f~re-eaters in
terse language. 1t says:
1.-THE white men of the south will
never again submit to negro domina-
ton. The last negro legislature has
sat in southern legislative halls. The
last negro board has supervised a SOUTH
ern county or city, levying its taxes
and appropriating the proceeds. We
desire to see the negroes happy, prosper
GUS, and constantly advancing in civili-
zation. We would protect them to the
fullest extent in their persons and prop
erty. But they shall not again bear
rule, no matter how great their prepon-
derance in number, in state, county or
city"
And yet we wonder whether we live
in a republic.

A WONDERFUL RAILROAD.

The RallsOay Age publishes All ex-
ceedingly interesting letter from one
Of the engineers Of the Oroya rail-
way, III Peru. 1t appears that this
great enterprise Of the late Henry
Meiggs is again to be pushed forward,
a company having been formed with a
capital of $l5,OOO.0O0, one of the OBJ
jects being the working and drainage
of a silver mine Of almost fabulous
richness. The short Mineral railway
of Pasco, seven miles in length, by
means of which the ore is carried to
a water power, cost about $4,000
per mile, and no wonder, as it reaches
height of 1920 feet above sea level,
(nearly 5000 feet higher than the
highest railway point on the North
American continent, Veta Pass, on
the Denver and Rio Grande), and
every part OF the equlpment-bFIdges,
rails, engines, cars, etc, had TO be
brought nearly two hundred miles
over terrible mountainous paths on the
backs of mules Even the rails had to be
made in six feet lengths, weighing
only forty-ive pounds per yard, TO be
transported over the winding, prccip-
tous way, and iron bridges Of 40 feet.
span were carried in proportionately
small sections. Contrasted with the
labor, danger and expense Of such a
work, railway building on the prairies
seemed to be indeed easy and cheap.
The gauge Of this remarkable road is.
three feet six inches. Query: What
would it have cost if the rock cutting,
tunnels, fills and bridges had been
made al inches wider.

Terrible Murder.

a Deadwood paper Of the Goth
nit says: One Of the most iendish
and mysterious murders yet known in
the Black Hills was perpetrated last
night upon the person Of Mrs. John
Kallis, a woman living alone in a ten.
ement house on Sherman street. The
body was discovered at al early hour
this morning lying nndressed in bed
and with the front part of the head
literally crushed to pieces. The small
room and corpse presented o ghastly
sight. The blood and brains were
spIattered over a great surface of the
white cloth-lined wall, and the mutila-
ton of the head was terrible. The
Coroue's inquest gives no positive
clew to the murderers, and the whole
affair is wrapped in mystery. Mrs.
Kallis' husband, who has not been liv-
ing pleasantly with his wife for some
time, has been arrested, and notori-
Gus negro scoundrel named Fields,
who has been proving around the
house lately, was also arrested on sus-
picion. The murdered woman was
the teacher of the earliest school in
Deadwood.
