CONGRESSMAN Fort is having his back
bone braced up on the question of the repeal
of the duty on paper by the receipt of nu-
merous petitions from newspaper publishers
in all parts of the country. The sentiment
is q universal one that the tax on material

with government that wished to keep its
people in ignorance than with one that
prides itself upon the intelligence of the
masses.

SOME of the newspapers are saying that,
after Grant has secured a majority Of the
delegates to the Chicago convention, he will
withdraw from the contest in favor of his
discoverer, E. B. Washburne. Such an as
sertion is stupid, for Grant was never yet
known to give anything away that he could
secure for himself. One oracle says that
Grant doesn't want the nomination this
year, but will take it in 1884. But he is a
firm believer in the theory that bird in the
hand is worth two in the bush.

A DELEGATION of western distillers is at
Washington for the purpose of protesting
against change in the tax on whisky which
some eastern distillers are trying to effect.
The present tax is not only fair to the dis
tillers but returns the government the larg-
est possible revenue. No other experiments
should be attempted at present.

political purposes last fall?
A. l have no recollection of having paid
Mr.. Neuman any money, or of his having re-
ceived any from any one else. If did pay

march of civilization upon the frontier
are the various railroad companies
who are now constructing their new
lines with great rapidity. In the de-
partment Of Dakota the Northern Pa
eiic Railway has crossed the Missouri
river at Bismarck and is now about lJO
miles west Of that place, and il is con-
fidentiy expected TO reach the banks of
the Yellowstone river by next summer.
The Chic ago 4 Northwestern railroad
has completed branch road to Fort
Pierre on the Missouri river, and has
already finished surveys TO Deadwood,
Dakota, which it is expected to reach
next September. The Chicago, Mil
waukee a ST. Paul railroad hasa branch
within few miles OF the mouth Of
American creek on the Missouri river,
and expects TO reach the Black Hills Of
Dakota by next September.
The railways above mentioned lead
TO the extensive basin OF the upper Mis-
souri, lying between the Big Horn noun
tains and the Black Hills OF Dakota, on
the south, and the boundary line be-
tween the British and the United States
North America on the north, and the
main chain OF the Rocky mountains ON
the west. This vast basin includes por-
tions OF the territory Of Wyoming,
nearly all Of Montana, and the terrific
rY OF Dakota. II is a section OF great
value, on account OF its extensive and
iich grazing lands. The very light fall
OF rain in the latter part OF the summer
and fall does not rot the grass, but it
slowly dries on the ground and becomes
good and nutritious hay without the
usual trouble Of cutting and curing.
Experience proves that the annual snow
fall in the basin named is not heavy
enough to preven. cattle frem getting
good feed during the entire year; and.
although the winters are cold, they are
invariably dry, and cattle are not sub
jected to the conditions of alternate
freezing and thawing, and consequently
they keep in better condition than
where they are liable to undergo greater
climatic changes. Settlements are be-
ing made in every direction throughout
this extensive grazing and agricultural
section.

MARSHALL JEWELL
Gives an Account OF His Management
The Morey Letter.


Chicago, Nov. 9.-The TribHne's
Hartford correspondent had talk with
Gov. Jewell, who said: The country
need apprehend nothing from all this
cry OF fraud. 1t is merely the work Of
Barnum and Kelly TO draw attention
from their blunders in campaign man
agement, and it will fizzle out in a few
days. How do you account for the in
crease OF the republican vote in New
York city? The vote OF the city was
thoroughly worked up by the republican
managers, and they also exercised care
to prevent repetition Of the terrible
democratic frauds Of past wears. The
census returns aided us materially. We
had copies made and compared the
registration lists with them, and in
every case where we found names on the
registration list which were not in the
tion. Now, you have asked about the
increased republican vote. We had es-
timated $1,000 for our ticket, and we
got 81, 900 or better. II was due partly
to Grace's nomination and largely to
the business mems determination TO
continue the prosperity Of the country.
II the democrats want to cry fraud, let
them go ahead and overhaul things.
They would not dare to execute their
vague threat to throw out the New
York electoral vote, no matter what
sort Of n showing they concocted, the
election Of Garfield is settled, and he
will lie inaugurated Further than
this, you can put /. down as fact,
that the southern leaders ...e thorough
ly disgusted with the democratic ins.n-
agement and they are in no mood to
listen to any such proposition from
Barnum or Kelly. The republicans
have won the election by fair means;
they have n majority Of the popular
vote, and the cry of fraud Is simply ri
diculous. 1t is merely n trick of the
same calibre as the alleged Chinese let
ter and other campaign roorbacks, and
sensible democrats have had enough OF
them.
Speaking Of the alleged Chinese let
ter, the reporter said; Governor, how
is the case proceeding? Johnny Dav-
enport was in town to-day, on his way
home from Lynn. lie is more than ever
satisfied that Morey is a myth and the
letter a forgery. The case will be re-
sumed tomorrow, and before we get
through with it think we will satisfy
the country, II 1t is not already satisfied,
that the whole thing is fraudulent. We
do not intend to let the matter drop by
any means, but will fight it through.
The democrats made what they could
out of 1t and would be very willing to
wash their hands Of the whole disrepu-
table business, but we have something
TO say about that. We are looking for
a conviction of the guilty parties and
are reasonably confident that We shall
obtain it.

New York Press Comments ON sara

New York, Nov. 9.-The Tribune
says: She is an extraordinary woman;
less however in her art, wherein she
has been excellcd by Rachel, Seebach
and equalled by Modjeska and Adelaide
Nelson, than in the fascination of a
nature fired by emotion and sensitive
to every passing wave Of excitement.
The World: She leaves one with the
feeling that her elocution Is better
than her acting, and that she is more
to be trusted with portraiture of
pathetic emotions than with the ex-
preston of great tragic passions; a
woman OF extraordinary talent rather
than genius, but undoubtedly posi-
lively great artist.
The Herald: Dernhardt IS abilities are
positively limited in one direction, and
despite her many strong qualifications,
she is lacking that power which, com.
bining dramatic and physical force
enables an actress to rise to the de.
mands OF n grand climax.
