LEAD FAILING.

Leadville has seen its best days. As
a mining camp it is playing out. The
bubble has burst and things are on a
downward plane. The LEADER has
all along predicted that the camp was
built up on airy nothingness, outside
of a few paying mines. This prediction
has proved true. Fortunes have been
wasted in scraping and scratching for u
few cheap carbonates. Even the best
mines in the region have been Stacking
up in their production, and, if the de-
crease continues it is only a question of
time when the camp will be deserted,
and wild beasts inhabit the shanties
now occupied by men.
Most of the money that has been
made in Leadville came from the ten
derfeet. Tradesmen thrived better
than miners. 1t paid more to run a
store or saloon than a mine. But even
commercial business has experienced a
backset. There have been several
failures among merchants and many
others may be expected.
We have it from a firm of merchants
of this city who have a branch store in
Leadville, that business there is falling
off alarmingly, and that they will bring
back their stock Of goods to their head
quarters in Cheyenne.
Twas ever thus. Camps and town!
that have been built up by excitement
fall heavily after the climax is reached
Leadville has been pulled up beyond all
honor or justification, and the hollow.
ness Of its worth being discovered, the
reaction has set in. Emigrants are
pouring out of the town, and soon ii
will be a played out locality.

SINCE our government decided that
Sitting Bull is a British subject, and
that his coming to the United States
would be deemed n invasion, the Ca
nadians are much exercised. They
deny in the first place, that the United
States have a right to determine who is
a British subject; and, second, that the
departure of Sitting Bull for his form
er hunting grounds would not be an in
%vasion, but a returning home of this
unwelcome savage. If Mr.. S. b. con-
cludes to come down, much diplomatic
correspondence will ensue.

THE sudden letting down Of. ex-Sena-
tor Shields SIS something remarkable,
considering how the old mar was idol
lied a short time since. The following
from the Times-Jo,rndl is to the
point:
Tho bill making Gen. James Shields
the agent of the state in the settlement
of claims upon the general government
has been defeated in the legislature,
and one cannot help wondering what
has become of all that affection for the
honest veteran which secured him the
senatorship only a few months ago.

TIE democracy are on record as OPP
posing armed officers of the govern
ment being at the polls in disturbed
districts in the interest of order and
fairness, and they are on record also rs
favoring the presence at the polls of
armed ''red shirts - ''white leaguers,' -
and other ruflan bulldozers. Blaine's
amendment proposed to prevent any
body whatsoever frem appearing armed
with concealed or displayed weapons
within a mile Of any polling place, but
the democratic senate defeated the
amendment.

THE leading merchants of New York
are becoming apprehensive respecting
the great strides in railroad progress,
Vanderbilt is making. They see in
his move to obtain a grand trans-con-
tinental line to the Pacific, fresh evil
dences of cxtortionate rates. 1t is pos
sible, however, that they are magnify
ing the effect of Mr.. Vanderbilt's
schemes.

Travelling is Extra-uazardous

Ifthe tourist is unprovided with some medi.
clnal resource. Changes OF temperature, food
and water of an unaccustomed or unwhole
some quality, and n route that lies In the
tropics or other regions where malaria ex-
lists, are each and all fraught with danger &c
one who has been improvident enough tc
neglect n remedial safeguard. The concur
rant testimony OF many voyageurs by land
and sea establishes the fact that Hostetter's
Stomac Bitters enables those who use !: To
encounter hazards of the nature referred 10
with impunity; and that, as n medicine
adapted to sudden and unexpected exigen.
cies, IL is peculiarly valuable. Disorders Of
the liver, the bowels and the stomach, fever
and ague, rheumatism and nervous ailments,
brought.on by exposure, are among the mala-
dies to which emigrants. travellers and new
settlers are most subject. These and Others
yield to the action of the Bitters promptly
and completely.

THE LEADER made mention of the
fact recently that the poor of Spain
were suffering greatly %onaccount of the
high price of bread. A high tariff
duty and other causes place ''the staff
of life'' beyond their reach. To re-
lieve the distress the municipality of
Madrid is running 20 depots for the
sale of bread below bakers prices.
There is just enough of the paternal
in that government to do good to the
Moor

1t so happened that the two actresses
who filled these parts have long been
jealous of each other. On this occasion
they took advantage of the play and pro
ceeded to pound, pull, scratch, tug, and
whoop around like street Arabs, bent
on vengeance. The curtain was rung
down, the combatants separated, and
the play proceeded after apologies to
the audience.

SENATOR SAUNDERS has introduced
a bill in the senate providing for the
extension of the northern boundary Of
Nebraska, to the forty-third parallel,
west of the Missouri river. Congress
is not likely to change the boundary Of
Nebraska,-or any other state, and,
least of all, of a republican state.
