THE STATE QUESTION.

We acknowledge the receipt Of a
printed slip from the Seattle Intelligen.
Ger, containing reply to the two ques-
tons propounded by the ". W. Onion
few months ago, upon the State ques-
ton. Mr.. Eldridge, the writer, sends
the Flip to US, with the statement that
he sent the article to the Union at the
request of the editor, but that from
some cause the Union did not publish
it. He suggests its publication in the
TELLER. We will comply with the
suggestion next week.

DAKOTA.

The prevailing opinion is that Da-
kota will be admitted as State into
the Union during this session of Con-
gress. Bills have already been intro
duced for that purpose. The project
Of division Of Dakota has been sban
doned. What is to hinder Washington
coming in at the same timel Nothing
but the petty quibbiiugs about new
and the division Of the
Territ Dry so as o enrich Oregon. This
quibhling should cease at once and the

exerted to gain admission.

doubt But there are other companies
which have heretofore had and have
now equal power in Congress, and the
representatives of the people who have
no special interest in any company,
we trust will have some power to COM
pei the Northern Pacific to either build
that branch or surrender their right to
build to others, and surrender that por-
ton of their grant of land. The argu,
ment OF the Ledger is based entirely
upon the assumption that the Northern
Pac fc are omnipptent aga INST all
other companies and against the peo-
pie, an assumption which we deem very
arrogant and dognatic.

This system of bad economy might be

possible, and export all we can of our
surplus with profit, and in this farmers

THE CASCADE BRANCH.

The Tacoma Ledger in speaking of
Wizards recent statement, made at
Philadelphia, that if the surveys wtr
completed the work of building the
Cascade branch of the Northern Pacific
would probably be commenced next
year, says:
Much comment has been made here
abouts with reference to this recen
announcement of Mr.. Willard Of the
intention to build the Cascade division
Some people have denied that any such
intention exists, and explain the occas-
lou OF Mr. Wizards statement at this
time as having reference to the danger
to whicpthe company is subject If for
feitng the land grant of the Cascade
route in case the road is not quickly
begun. Some have even intiu,ated
that strong lobby would be at work
in Congress to this end. Another ex-
PLANTATION is offered as a reason for Mr..
Wizards statement at this time
the danger hat some other competing
line will come in and occupy the ground,
in this connection attaching much sig
niticance to the motions recently made
in this direction by the Southern and
Central Pacific interests. We have
mentioned the matter for the purpose
Of saying that it is doubtful it there be
any ground in fact for such speculat
tions. The Northern Pacific Compan,
is sbundantly able TO defend itself al
Washington against any attempt o.
riv~l interests to disturb it, and in tn,
next place it would be very uphill worl
for any company to lay rails across tn,
Cascade mountains, in order to compel,
for traffic with the present companie,
whose roads already occupy all tn
paying ground.
Why should Mr.. Willard in his speech
at the Sound in the fall say that thi
branch would not be built within tn,
next five or eight years, and then So,
at Philadelphia that it would be com
menced next year, unless some reaso,
operated to induce him to change hi
mindf When he bought out Billings
one Of the terms of the purchase va
that this branch should be constructed
so soon as the surveys were completed
He knew this when he, inhis speech
put off the construction for five or eigh
years. IF he has not undergone
change then he must claim that it re
quires five or eight years to complet
the surveys or at leas. that it will re
quire that much time to complete tn,
surveys and build the road. No sen
sible man will conclude thatany sucl
time is required for ethel both
Hence the inference is that if Willard
proposes to commence the building O
that tranch next year, some infuenc,
has been brought to bear upon him t.
change from the position taken by hin
in his speech made st the Sound las,
fall, and We believe both the danger
Of forfeiture and the fear Of competit,cI
have affected the change. Both Of thess
events are liable to happen if the branch
is not speedily built. The Northern
Pacific has much power in G. nsress, nc

The Cheyenne daily leader. [volume] (Cheyenne, Wyo.) 1870-1884, 1881-03-26

She was a plucky woman, the wife
Of a Bradford oil speculator, who saw
her husbands fortune pass away al
most in the twinkling Of an eye by the
sudden and heavy fall in the price of
Illuminating fluid. Walking into a
store she took Off her sealskin sack and
sold it. From that place she went to
the jewelers. and disposed of her dia-
monds and all her silver. When her
husband returned home she met him
at the door dressed in a neat calico
wrapper. He had been a clerk before
fortune smiled upon him, and she a
modest school teacher. She informed
him that she had discharged all the
servants and they would live as for
merly, she doing the work. She han
ded him s., 500 as the result of selling
her jewelry. and told him to use it.
Joy and hope beamed in his eye and
found a place in his heart again. He
went again to the business. In one
month he had regained his former pc.
~sltion, had redeemed everything his
wife had pledged and was living as
formerly. Three times in six years
was this man saved in this manner by
his wife.

THE New York Tribune is jubilant
at the change affairs have taken, and
says in its editorial squibs: at is a
good thing after all to have a president
who knows something about politics.
There is less skepticism about the rigid
ity of Garfield's backbone than there
a The whole republican party in
New y ork has been recognized, except
the chronic grumblers, and they don't
count. Gen. Garfield plainly recog-
nizes the fact that he was elected presi-
dent by the republican party and not by
any one mans party. The further it
gets the more 1t looks like n Garfield

sURPRIsE,

A Washington telegram gives the
following: The Washington politi-
clans have received another surprise in
the news from Albany that the New
York senate has unanimously endorsed
Judge Robinson's nomination to be the
collector of port Of New York City, and
with the same unexpected unanimity
has requested his prompt confirmation.
AS the state senate is controlled by
Conkling's friends, this action is sur
missed by some persons to have been
inspired by him with a view of reliev-
ing him from the embarrassment of en-
gaging in a contest where he could not
hope for final success. But as he is
not in the habit Of shrinking from con
fict for prudential reasons, there is
probably nj truth in this surmise and
the explanation is doubtless TO be found
in a spontaneous desire of his New
York friends to prevent his taking a
position or the subject, which, in their
judgment will be impolitic and preju-
dicial to his and their common inter-
ests. The prevalent belief now is that
the threatened serious contest over
this nomination will be wholly avert

THE OPERA HOUSE, FIRE Ar,NIcI

The following additional particulars
have been received from Nice, dated
March 18th:
Many persons were trampled to death
in the stampede to get out. 1t does
not appear at present that any Ameri-
cans.were among the victims. The occu-
pant Of the stage when the explosion
occurred was seen enveloped in flames.
The injury Of Strokosch was only a
slight confusion of the leg. Eleven
more bodies are said to be under the
ruins. The exits of the theater were
very narrow and badly arranged. Sig
nora Donadio was to have appeared for
the first time at the opera house on the
night Of the FIRE. A gas Jet set fire to
some of the scenery;as the curtain was
down the public were unaware of the
danger until the gas exploded. When
the smoke became ~suffocatingly thick.
the people tried to throw themselves
from the small windows near the roof
of the theater. Sixty-nine bodies 80 far
have been recovered. Most of the ar.
tistes were in the dressing rooms and
were aware Of their danger, but it was
too late to escape. Choristers rushed
along the narrow passage in the dark
ness, presumably to much disabled in
the crush to escape. The basso, tenor
and baritone must have been suffocated;
their bodies are presumably under the
ruins. The parts OF the theater most
filled were the upper galleries, and as
the distance from them to the doors
was long, and by narrow corridors and
stairways, the people in the CALLER
les had the greatest difficulty of escap-
ing. There was a very inadequate
supply Of water. The sailors who vol
unteered us firemen piled buckets of
sea water, which were, however, almost
useless. Two midshipmen rescued two
persons from the chamber, who are still
living, but are horribly scorched, one
being a raging lunatic. Some of the
bodies found are so horribly charred,
hat recognition is impossible. The
body of n Of the singers has been
recognized.

The father Of Nihilism in Russia
was Michael Bakonnine who died two
years ago in Switzerland, whittier he
had fled from Siberia, where he was
serving out n term Of Punishment for
stirring up a revolution in Russia. He
10 described rs over six feet in height,
with massive shoulders, long iron gray
hair, bronzed complexion and a whole
demeanor 30 peculiar and marked as
to attract attention wherever he APP
peared. He<@as opposed to all forms
of religion, to all government. to in
heritance Of property, to all political
organizations. He defined his creed in
a speech which he made at a meeting
Of the Internationals ut Berne in 1868,
in which he said:
"Our first work must DO the destruc-
ton and humiliation of everything as
1t now exists. You must accustom
yourselves to destroy everything, the
good with the bad; for If but an atom
of the old world remains the new will
never be created"
On another occasion he said.
Deeds of political assassination and
incendiarism are not the offspring of
any sentiment of personal hatred or
vengeance. We know full well that
n emperor killed will merely be sue
ceeded by another, who, in his turn
will again nominate the chiefs Of police.
Such deeds are justified by the necessi-
ty of roofing out from mems minds the
habit Of respect for the powers that
be. The o attacks are made on the
car and his officials, the more will the
people get to understand the a~bsurdity
OF the veneration with which these
personages have been regarded for
centuries.
Bakonnine was not only a Nihilist,
a Socialist, a Communist, a Radical
and an iconoclast Of the red-republican
order. His radicalism went to the
root Of every existing system on which
our present civilization rests, and
sought to destroy II.

elected: President, u. S. Grant; vice
president, G.. NJ. Dodge; secretary, Jas.
II. Work; treasurer, Russell Sage; an
executive committee was also elected,

she Went Back on Him.

A minister Of this city, who resides
way up on top of East Hill, was sum-
moned not long since to marry a couple
pie living down in the Seventh ward.
The hour of eight was appointed for
holding the ceremony. After a walk of
nearly two miles the clergyman arrived
at the house where the nuptials were
to take place. He raped at the door
and a pleasant faced woman answered
the m when the following dia-
logue occurred:
Are You the minister" she in
quired.
YES"
"Well, she said, "I'ye gone back on
my Teller, and guess l won't be married
tonight"
The dominic was thunderstruck, but
managed to respond:
II suppose that means l must go
back"
And he retraced his steps homeward,
doubtless bordering on the ickleness
of this world, and more particularly on
the beings who live in it.

JOHN STEWART, Of New York, has
begun an action against Cardinal Nc
Closky to enforce the performance of a
certain contract. Stewart claims that
he entered into a contract with the
cardinal to purchase the block bounded
by Madison and Fourth avenne and
50th and 51st streets. The buildings
on the land were to be removed by the
cardinal by August LIST, 1880, when the
first payment Of 1920, 600 was to be
made, the balance to be paid by a two
year bond and mortgage, bearing six
per cent. interest. This contract has
not been carried out. The defendant
admits the contract, but claims that
the plaintiff was not able to carry out
the contract, and undertook it as a
speculation, he having by its terms five
months in which to wait for a raise in
the market value of the property.
