A Ferry In what we want.

We are inclined to think that
one of the most important things
for our people to consider just now,
in the light Of our railroad facili-
ties, is that of a steam ferry across
the Missouri at some point n near
the city as possible. The people
on the Nebraska side Of the river
are anxious to make this point
their market if they can got over
the river safely and ct . less OK
pense than heretofore. That cOun-
try is really tributary TO this place,
and all that keeps Elk Point from
getting the bulk Of Dixon County
trade IS the fact that they cannot
get TO this place without paying
extortionate ferriage, and there are
also times when they cannot cross
at all. The Nebraska trade
would prove no snall item to our
business the year round, and it is
Of the greatest importance to se-
cure tho same. What our people
must do TO get it, is to put in .
good substantial steam ferry one
that can runs at any time. VIZ feel
sure that the Milwaukee road will
aid this city in securing
such q boat, a. that. trade will bs
of vast importance to the road.
But it behoves us to move in the
matter, and then lay the subject
intelligently before tho officials Of
that road. ia good ferry is estab-
lished, the difference in trade in
this city viii DO remarkable, and
the expense Of putting in and
maintaining : ferry viii al como
back tenfold ii les than : year.
Let our people act in this matter
ct once, and thus have ! boom
ing business from now On

Col. DoxAN Of the Deadwood

description Of m editor, which con-
tains more truth than many think
who look upon the pathway Of the
editor q strewn with roses and seem
ted with Natures sweetest perfumes:
''Q.s nors s~slo.sunass.
Hashly imporunatc,
tone to the devil.
"Why any man, sane or insane,
with a sound body and . chance TO
cultivate his neighbours watermelon
patch and smoke house after night,
should ever want to be an editor il
more than we can tell. 1t is I con-
undrum that stumps us a. plump as
q sumac grub does q sore toe, or as
q common sense question does an
average American statesman. As
for us, give us liberty or give = re-
spectacle death with an undistorted
corpse and agood-looking girl TO kiss
us for our mother. An editor /!
Everybody's pecking-block, scape-
goat and swaybacked pack-mule.
Ten thousand times one millionth
rather let us be a bootblack, Chin
ney-sweep, penitentiary-bird or con
gresham; be mud-clerk on q coal
barge, deck-hand in a tripe-factory,
engineer of a one-donkey-power CO.

TOAD AND SNAKE Both DEAD.-R.
H. Nixon of Canandaigua, New York,
sends us the drawing of toad which
has been partly swallowed by a snake,
and the head and fore feet protruding
from the snakes mouth and the hind
legs from fissure in the snakes throat.
Both toad and snake were found dead.
The question as to what was the inn
mediate cause of the double fatality
may readily be answered as to the
snake, by stating that he was not able
to open his mouth sufficiently wide,
while the toad kicked through the
skin of the throat distended and, con-
sequently thin.-FOrcst and Stream.

The Yreka Journal of Dee. 3lst says:
Report reached Etna yesterday of Il
terrible Tragedy at Orleans Bay, the
county seat of old klamath county,
and now belonging to Humboldt. 1t
appears that an Indian had some
trouble with man named Henry
Scott, man of family, whom he was
cutting savagely with Il knife, when
James Osborne, Il young man, at
tempted to interfere, was cut in the
lower part of the neck, causing his in
slant death. Scott is also believed to
be dangerously wounded and liable to
die. The citizens Immediately seized
Indian, hung him up, and riddled his
body with bullets.
During the year 1879 there was an
extraordinary revival of railroad build
ing in the United States. The num-
Der of miles of standard gauge con-
structed was 3,0lG; of narrow gauge
72S. More miles of rail were laid in
Kansas than in any other State, the
total being 49S miles. Minnesota came
next with 394 miles; Iowa next with
325 miles; then Dakota with 220 miles,
and Arizona with 1853 miles. New
Mexico and Nebraska are credited
with l25 miles each, Texas with l20
miles and Oregon with 80 miles. In
Ohio los miles of narrow gauge was
laid, and in Idaho 90 miles.

diana and Ohio elections vary, but that is
generally q feeling among Democrats there
their chances for success is desperate. We
present a summary from various sources,
Whichif it does not elucidate the much yexed
question at least makes an attempt to do so
E1-C Congressman McCakleu, of California,
says the Democrats are now thoroughly
organized and will carry the State. The
Republicans will not dare Introduce the tariff
issue because men Of all parties there are
free traders and for free ships; that the
Chinese question is the principal issue, and
on this the Democrats are making their fight.
He has been in Nevada, too, and expresses
himself very much encouraged with Dem
ocratic prospects there. He says Mr.. Fair is
making q determined fight and will carry the
State and the Legislature; that the fact that
Mr.. Sharon has not q residence in Nevada is
hurting him badly. The Chinese question,
he says, is being worked by the Democrats
in Nevada and Oregon as well IS in California.
A circular recently issued by the Republican
Congressional committee asking the en-
ployes Of the executive Department for an
additional one per cent. Of their salaries, is
meeting with q hearty and almost unanimous
response.
"The Democrats have sustained an unex-
pected and notifying defeat in Indiana and
Ohio. It is disastrous, and may prove fatal.
It is silly to make light of it and idle to
white it away by cunning calculations and
adroit figuring. The Democrats are beaten,
badly beaten; whether beaten to death is the
only question."-N. 7. SIN.

and trust,

tit has seemed to us that the whole
Democratic campaign was a series of blum
ders. The party had one man-only one
whose immense strength had been dem.
onstrated on the national field. Samuel j.
Tildeni is the one great prominent name in the
Democratic party-N. .. 6up.
stAt this moment the best informed men of
both parties believe the Republicans are more
than likely to carry the election, and the
question is mainly, in the opinion Of such
men, one Of majority. In July and August
the probabilities were entirely the other
Way.'-W. Y. Herald.
The nomination Of English, so far as It
was intended by the unWise men who made
it to operate beneficially on Indiana, has
turned out to be worse than a mistake. This
has been al open Secretion 8 long time past.

ruption. Of Virginia politics and the South
the San says: The real position of Malone
ought to be understood by the Democrats.
He is not to be trusted, for he has no political
principle. He will trade with the side which
he thinks will win. The Virginia Democrats
know Tits and the Republicans also know it.
There is no doubt that large sums Of money
are to be sent into those States, especially
into Florida, where the Republicans are
anxious to secure a successor to Senator
Jones, whose term expires next March.

The King Of France, with twice ten thou
sand men, marched up q hill and then
marched down again. This pleasing pastime
of those good old kings, has inst been imi-
tafed on q large scale by the 'sPowers" of
Europe III sending their combined fleets to
overcome the unspeakable Turk, and to com
pei him to REFORM" and the denouement
has been even more ridiculous. But there is
in this little play on the side, cause for feel
ings of the gravest apprehension. The with
drawal Of France paralyzed the effort, and
turned what was to have been a drama of
semi-serious character into q broad farce.
Russia was on hand-to do n~othing-and
her astute diplomats are quietly laughing at
the miscarriage of this last effort on the
part Of Austria for self-aggrandizement.
A stone from the spot where VIM. Tell is
said to have made his escape from the tyrant
Gessler, has been made the subject Of diplo-
matte negotiation between the governments
of Switzerland and the United States, and
the stone will hencefOrth rest in the CanitOl
at Washington.-Eg. The story of Mr.. Tell,
in many transformations has been found in
the poetry of Sanscrit literature and traced
from them through almost every Aryan dia
lect in the sagas Of the Cloths, the myths of
the Germans, romance Of the Italians, which
is the Swiss version, and the classics of the
Greeks. And it has even been doubted il
Tell ever existed other than in the fertile
imaginations Of poets. While We admire
relics Ct past greatness, and can look upon
a piece Of the true cross with uncovered rev
erence, we must be excused If we cannot ex-
press q fearful tribute Of respect for this
harmless piece of stone which will be a silent
monitor to %tryannical senators, dishonest
representatives and u~nctious lobbyists.
Strange that . little stone, thrown a few
ages ago into the ocean Of time, should in its
eternal vibration, be the cause of an inter-
national discussion to-day.
