THE COMING ERA.

The Bismarck Tribune says the regulartrains
OIL the Northern Pacific commenced running
to Mandan last Monday, the 18th. Track is
being laid at the rate of a mile a day. The
grading extends nearly to the little Missouri
and is easy to work. The road tothe Yellow
stone has already been located and will be
finished early in 1880. Twenty-o one cars of
Montana cattle We're shipped from Mandan
last Monday. Coal is now landed in Bis
marck at 1925 a ton, which certainly makes
it cheaper to burn than wood. The net earn
ings of the road for ten months was nearly
$35O,O0O; the gross earnings have been over a
million dollars. The gap between the
eastern and western termini will probably be
filed by a stage line next season and we have
heard that Messrs. Gilmer & Salisbury were
already making preparations to put on a line
of coaches, having already control of a portion
of the gap. We do not know how true this
may be, but it is a very probable inference.
Meanwhile the Utah Northern is approaching
nearer and nearer at leaps of 30 to so miles.
Whether or not it will come to the principal
W in the territory without material aid is
a matter of speculation. But one thing is
certain as the last 10 years have been the era
of mule teams and coaches the next IS will
be the era of railroads. Five years more will
hear the steam whistle of the locomotive near
our chief towns. But railroad enterprise will
not stop with the building of the Utah
Northern and the Northern Pacific. Our
lands, unlike the sage brush country through
which the U. P. R. r, passes, are with proper
irrigation the most fertile lands in the country
and local productions vii. support more than
the two railroads named. The summer of
1895 will see no scarcity of railroads. Nor
do We anticipate much scarcity of land. 1t
will take years to settle up the thousands and
of acres upon which no white mans
foot has yet trod. With the incoming of two
competing lines of railroads, the prospect of
cheap rates is certainly not unpleasant to
contemplate.

MADISON COUNTY.
Madisonian, 18th.

We regret to learn that the entire crop of
grain in stacks, together with sheds, %corrals,
ETC., belonging to Mr.. Spatlord, near Hamil-
ton, were, on Friday last, entirely destroyed
by fire. Mr.. Spafford was having his grain
threshed by a steam thresher, and the stacks
were ignited by sparks from the engine, and
despite the efforts of the men to subdue the
flames, the entire property in the vicinity was
destroyed.
Yesterday morning the jury returned a
verdict acquitting Major Frost on the charge
of issuing a false voucher to Horace Coun-
tryman for $2,475, in payment for $50 tons of
hay, delivered at the Grow Agency. From
the fiimsy nature of the evidence in support
Of the charge, It was a toregone conclusion
that this would be the result. The U. s.. At
torney has entered a nolte pros. on the other
indictment, which is merely a repetition of
the charge on which Major Frost was acquit-
ted.
A party of the brethren of the mystic tie
who were going to Butte last week, got off
their 'level" by striking toward the wrong
point of the compass on their way over.
As a result they wandered around IN the Sill
yer Star numbering grounds all day, only to
find that they were lost, when they retraced
their way and arrived at George Buffrey's
about nightfall, having accomplished about
three miles of their journey. We suppose
everything was on the ''square,' but the story
that the party had heard of the order for an
additional eighty mile extension of the Utah
& Northern, and was seeking a good place to
get out ties, rather lacks the requisite thick
ness. A committee of one should be appoint
ed to ascertain how many empty bottles are
scattered along the road that was travelled
that day.

NEWARK, N. j., Oct. 22.-In the case of
Blair, the New York Bank Teller, tried for
killing his coachman, Armstrong, the jury,
after four days. deliberation, find the verdict
not guilty."
New YORK, Oct. i22.-The Tribune says
the Robinson State Committee continues to
receive hopeful letters from the interior of
the State, and seems to be increasing in cour-
age. A table has been prepared from the
reports Of the visitors and local committees,
protesting to show the condition of each party
in every county. From this table the MEM
bers of the committee a majority of over
$4,000 for Robinson in the State but TO get
this, according to their own figures, they re-
CURED a majority of nearly 10000 in this
city. The leaders assert that kelly's strength
has been greatly overestimated. A Robinson
mass meeting is to be held at Madison Square
garden next Tuesday evening.
The Times, commenting on Evarts' speech,
says: "Of its ~allusion to the possible need
of a strong man in the executive chair, when
reduced to plain English, this means that I'M
less the South permits the negro vote to be
cast and counted we must ~re-elect Grant.
That this opinion is entertained by a major
ity of the Republican party there can be no
possible doubt. That it will be a controlling
opinion in the National Convention is ex-
tremely probable. But Il man with the posi-
ton and antecedents of Evarts ought to know
better than to echo the strong man" cry,
without stopping to explain how the execu-
tive authority, which should be accorded to
Grant, can be any more {" full y than that pos
sessed by Hayes, and in what way the former
can render his authority to maintain the free
dom of suffrage more effective than he did
during his last term as President.'
The World comments: alt is unfortunate
that the speech delivered by Secretary Evarts
last night should be of the sort to make the
country believe that he deeply regrets his
famous speech in condemnation of the reign
of Grantism in Louisiana, and that he would
willingly, if he could, recall it, and obliterate
the memory of it."
Twenty-eight assistants in Bellevue Hospi-
tai attempted to register to-day, but it was OBJ

The Salt Lake Tribune says:-"The tide
of emigration is flowing into Oregon, Wash
ipston, Montana. Dakota and other Terrific
ries, attracted by the fame of their mineral
stores and their vast capacity for agricultural
development. Yet Utah is avoided by this
incoming population, and the newspaper press
of the country has no word to say in its
favor" 1t ascribes the reason to the fact
that Utah is held down by an d" Ignorant and
fanatic hierarchy - and that the name of
Utah is ." only used by newspaper writers and
lecturers as an object upon which to cast
Kissing and reproach."

Gov. Robinson, of New York, has a hard
row to hoe. In addition to the split in his
party, the women of his native State call on
all honest men and women to do all in their
power to defeat his election. The unfortu-
nate Governor, in May, II, in an unhappy
moment, vetoed the bill to allow m to
vote on school questions, and this is the re-
suit. BY the way we are not sure that it is
not a good thing to allow women to vote on
such questions. The plan has been tried in
several States and has been successful. The
mother, as a rule, takes more interest N
school matters thai the father-too mnch in
terest in her own children, the teacher some
times thinks-and, hence, generally votes for
the best men. In many States women are
elected school officers, and often schools
thereby make more rapid progress.

The D0Hu GraDbic of the 18th makes a

The Daily Graphic of the 18th makes a
savage attack on the eldest daughter of Agent
Meeker. The Young lady, in a recently pub
lished letter, naturally expresses herself
strongly. Most journalists would respect the
grief of a au5hter at her loss unaer such ag-
gravating circumstances, and, if he could not
agree with the sentiments expressed, would
at least pass hem by without comment; but
this all-wise editor. who knows as little of the
savages as he does of the attributes of hu-
manitv, finds the letter only an object for
brutal ridicule and sarcasm.

sionists assembled on board, and, not.
withstanding the bitter cold wind blow.
Ing, remained on deck with their
friends who accompanied them to the
steamer until the signal was given for dc,
parture. At o'clock, sharp, the lines
were cast of, and the vessel moved slowly
from her wharf, foot Of Toulouse street.
Owing to the north wind prevailing and
the counter current at that point, the
steamer was unable to turn about, and
was compelled to turn up stream.
Opposite Canal street she again
attempted TO head down stream, but
was again driven around by the wind and
started up stream q second time. This
caused q delay OF over an hour, but II af.
forded the excursionists an opportunity to
view the entire city front rs they passed
a grand sight at this moment, when the
landings are crowded with steamships,
steamboats,, and vessels OF all descriptions.
The City Of Mexico finally summoned tho
assistance OF tug, which succeeded in
turning her, despite the wind, and she
started down stream. As the tug cut
loose from her salutes were exchanged,
and upon reaching the foot OF Canal street
and Jackson Square the steamer, under
full Roadway, with her flags and pennants
flying, fired a salute OF two guns and pro-
ceeded on her course, bearing with her
the hest wishes Of our people for the safe
and pleasant journey and prompt return OF
her passengers, numbering 104.
