RAILROAD ESS.
n Way Wora is Being Pushed
On the Denver & Rio Grande.
Gatt I.ka pribn,a

We learn from a gentleman in business
through on the line of the Denver & Rio
Grande to Green River, that the grading
is mostly finished from Clear Creek
through, the greatest stretch If ungrsded
survey being between Clear Greek and
where the work was begun-abont four
miles. The case of the break at this place
was the delay in definitely locating the
ronte and choosing the best Of several sur
veys but the location has now been made
and the grading viii go on rapidly. One
of the heaviest contractors having fin
ished his work this side Of Green River,
will move across directly, and grade from
Green River to Grand River. A large
number of ties are also distributed along
the route, and will be laid as convenience
and need arises. The Filings on a number
of the grades have been washed out by
this most rainy of Summers. and slight
changes of location have been necessitated
at several points. but no very radical
changes have been made. and the damage
caused by the storms hitherto have been
repaired. Thus the active work of this
energetic company is pressed all along the
line.
Clear Greek itself, which is the point
where the road will strike off for Colorado,
and about 90 miles this side Of Pleasant
Valley, bids fair to be a thriving mountain
town, doing a great business. 1t is likely
that in addition to the other advantages il
possesses, it will be the permanent eating
house for the passengers on this line, and
so have a peculiar importance Of its own.

1t has been decided that the London
statue of Lord Beaconsield shall be
erected in Parliament Square, the large
open area bounded on two of its sides by
the House of Parliament and the Abbey
of Westminster. 1t will thus be near
the well known statues of Peel, Palmers-
ton and Lord Derby. The dead Earl
will be represented as looking towards
the House of Lords, with his back to
Peel and st. Margaret's Church. 1t was
Lord Beaconsfeld who presided at the
ceremonies on this same ground which
attended the unwilling of the statue of
Lord Derby.

for paper has been found to exist in the
earth. The story is published in the New

its truthfulness. The substance found
in it is a species of tale, and is found in
strata from 6 to s feet thick, or in assure
veins of 40 degrees dip and Of unknown
depth. The tale is ground to powder
and is then as soft as chalk, with a fibre
like cotton. and is entirely without grit.
In this condition it makes perfect paper

THE DIVISION BILL.

We understand it is the intention OIL some
party or parties to institute proceedings for
the purpose of testing the validity of the law
known as House Bill No. 6, providing for the
formation of Silver Bow county, on the
grounds that the act did not properly pass the
council, and therefore failed to become a law.
The history of the division measure is we'll
known to our readers, but to point out what
is considered by the would-be contestants its
fatal defect, we must refer to it. The bill
was introduced in the house and passed that
body. 1t was taken to the council and passed
with an amendment known as the Mitchell
amendment. Upon its return to the house
for its concurrence, that branch of the legis-
lature refused to accept the amendment, and
requested the counci to recedc. The bill
was taken to the council. That body receded
from its amendment and sent the bill back to
the house without further action. It is
claimed the mistake was made in the council
failing to pass the bill after it had receded

We must concede that our good-natured
evening contemporary possesses a happy faculty
for lodging embarrassing issues. 1t evades
every point the MINER raised touching the
presence of the element of know nolhineism
within the republican party and raises others
not at all pertinent to the question. We
pointed to the fact that the republicans de-
feated at the recent election, every person
upon their ticket who was known to be a
foreigner. 1t answers by stating that .sthe
case OF the republicans is so good that the

quilted on the technicality of a failure To pros
ecute." We charged that the truth of history
bears testimony that native Americanism was
the most important factor that entered INTO
the general make up of the party in 1856.
1t answers s'that an American is as fit for
ofhce-education n capacity being equal
as the man of foreign birth" We refer to
those declarations of the Inter Mountain as
answers, We may be mistaken. But if tIey
were not INTENDED as ~"crushers'' please tell
us what they are.

from its amendment. THIS is the point
raised, and upon which the contest will De
made, ii made at all. Those who propose 70
! contest the act claim that the council should
have passed the bill after IL had receded from
its amendment. The his DRY of the legisla-
tive proceedings in this territory does not es.
tablish thisr rule of action.
Section 6 of the organic act provides that
every bill which shall have passed the council
and house of representatives shall, before il
becomes a law, be presented to the governor
OF the territory. If he approve, he shall sign
it, but if not, he shall return it,
with his objections, to the house
in which it originated, etc. The only EVIL
dences that the governor has that a bill has
passed the legislative assembly are the pres
ence of the sigma ures Of the presiding Off
GERS of each hn,lse. House Bill No. 6 was
duly signed by the speaker of the house and
the president of the council, in the presence
of the members of their respective bodies,
and with such evidences Of its genuineness
upon its face we cannot see how the contes.
tants can go behind this record and make a
case. Frequently the council or the house
will amend the title to a bill after 1t has
passed. This action does not necessitate the
repassage OF the bill, but if the theory held
by the contestants he the true one, the body
that amends the title to a bill should pass it
again. This course, we believe, is not pul-
sued.
If the contest is to be made it may be as
we'll to inaugurafe it now as as at any
other time. If Silver Bow county is a county
in name only and not in fact, we should
know it. If a reasonable doubt exists as to
the legality of the division measure, aD
agreed case could be submitted to the courts
for their adjudication without the delay incl
dental to the contests of this character. But
we feel satisfied that no grounds upon which
to base an action exist, and that the whole
matter will end where it commonwealth
talk.

EECE AND TURKEY.

Our dispatches have given us but little in,
formation in regard to the Turco-Greek i'm.
broglio, and those we have received were
fragmentary and threw but little light upon
the real condition of the disagreement over
which those unfortunate countries have been
for some time ~wrangling. The following
from the New York World gives the situa.
ton SO clearly that we cannot refrain from
presenting it to our readers:
"The question in dispute was created by
the Berlin Treaty. One Of the protocols of
that instrument invited the porte to arrange
for a rectiiication of frontiers with Greece in
the provinces of Thessaly and Epirus, and
suggested that the new boundary line should
be drawn between the watershed of the Sal
ambrias on the east, and that Of the Kalamas
on the west. This would add nearly one
third to the superficial area of Greece, and
restore to her Janina, the historic Dodona,
and the cradle Of the sept of Helloi who gave
their name to all her ancient people. This, it
must be remembered, was not sought to be
enforced, but was simply suggested by the
treaty, which further provided that the con-
signatery powers should be represented at a
conference al ~Constantlnople for bringing
Turkey and Greece to agree upon the matter.
That conference, at which the powers are
represented by their ambassadors, has been
in session for some weeks, but the principals
have proved stubborn, Greece asking too
much and Turkey offering too little. The
Greeks not only claim the boundary proposed
by the Berlin treaty, but also the Island of
Crete. The port on the other hand will not
part with Crete nor any part of Epirus, but it
it is not unwilling to dismantle Prevesa, a
fortified town in Epirus whick commands the
entrance to the Gulf of Aria, and declare the
neutrality of the gulf. Thus the quarrel
stands at the present moment Both the
principals are actively preparing for war.
The Greek army has been placed on a war
footing-it numbers 100000 men, with a re-
serve Of SO,O00 more-exemption from mill
tary service has been abolished and the men,
bers of the chamber holding commissions
have gone TO the front, where 10000 men are
now massed. The porte has nearly 30. 900
men on the frontiers, and war vessels are be.
ing hurriedly fitted out and dispatched to
Greek waters. If war should come it will be
a battle of bankrupts, and the treasures Of
both countries being almost empty and bott
groaning under huge foreign debts md merci.
less taxation; but the danger is that other
nations will be dragged into the struggle and
that the perennial eastern question will be
fought over again by half of Europe. TheIcm
bassadors are at their wits end, but there j:

bined and vigorous action the powers may b.
able to compel, the disputauts to accept f

cast it's vote for Hancock" Well, what If II
did. 1t is true that in 1856 johnson, the
know nothing candidate, was elected COVER
nor of that state. But the democrats run the
know nothing herd in the republican party in
1856. Since then the state has cast republi
can electoral votes until last fall, when Han
cock received five out of its six votes. Fol
twenty-five years the old knowno thing ele
meut in hat state has been housed in the
republican party. Again our mistaken CO.
temporary asserts that s'the American party
the %forerunner of know nothingism, had its
student of history The native American
party was born during tie administration OF
the elder Adams. 1t obtained control OF
congress and enacted two laws known as the
''alien and sedition laws" They empowered
the president to send out of the country such
foreigners as should be found coIspiring
against the peace and safety of the republic
and restricted the liberty of speech and of
the press enjoyed by the people. These
laws were so unpopular as to bring about the
OVERWHELMING ueIedt Vi tHe Olu IcueTaI party
in which this native American element was
first developed. Now let us see the connex-
ion. The federal party begat the whig
party. The wing party begat the know
nothing party, and the know nothing party
begat the republican party. Through this
line of descent the republican party has IN
herited its disposition to ignore or drive from
the country every man of foreign birth. The
spirit that enacted the alien and sedition
laws cropped out in 1854 and '55, in eastern
cities, in the mobbing of foreigners and IN
the sacking or burning of Catholic churches.
Against all these parties the grand old demo-
cratic party has presented an unbroken front
and gathered to itself and protected the per-
secuted ofits own and other lands. 1t is to-day
the bulwark of our liberties and the hope of
our people, and as sure as eternal justice will
prevail it Will yet bring the republican party
PROSTATE at its feet.

THE BOER WAR.

The sympathy of the entire civilized world
has been with the dauntless Beers IN their
unequaled contest with England. That the
war is now ended, and terms of peace SUBJ
scribed to alike honorable to both parties is
an evidence that British justice will, in the
end, assert itself. The Nation in comment.
nS upon the unfortunate, unprovoked strife,
presents the following account of its termin-
alton which we are assured will be read with
interest by our readers:
"Tbe wretched war with the Beers has
been brought to an end by a display of firm
ness III the part of MIR. Gladstone such as, it
is safe to say: none of his predecessors has
ever shown. Sir George Colley, it is now
admitted, occupied the fatal hill while terms
of peace were under consideration by the
Beers. He was led into this rash act. with a
small and wholly inadequate force, though
heavy achievements were on their way to
him, probably by a strong and not unnatural
desire to retrieve his reputation, which had
been seriously damaged in two previous en-
gagements. He perhaps argued that if he
succeeded, the Beers would be much reader
to treat, and that if he failed he would BE-
worse Oft than he was. Failure at worst, be
doubtless thought, would consist in nothing
more than inability to drive the Beers from
their position; that they would drive him
from his, never, perhaps, entered into his
head. As a matter Of fact, however, his de-
feat created a new and formidable obstacle to
concluding peace, not because, as many fear
ed would be the case, the Beers raised their
demands in consequence of their victory, but
because the public in England raised the old
cry that peace could not be made after a re-
verse without the complete submission of the
'rebels." The "prestige' Of the British army
it was said, would have to be restored and
the "honor of the flag" vindicated by a great
victory, and then negotiations might be rsop-
ened. In fact, the old Arguments which kept
George Ill. from making peace with the
American cOlonists until the surrender at
Yorktown were brought out and paraded in
many of the leading newspapers. Happily
the government paid no attention to them,
They refused to believe that it was necessary
to ''crush" eight thousand farmers to show
that the British empire was strong. So they
again offered the Beers the terms which Sir
George Colley had in his pocket when he was
kiiled-viz.,a AUTONOMY, with British suzerain.
ty and British jurisdiction over all foreign re,
l~ations, and a commission to settle bounda.
ries, and a complete amnesty for all Offences
These terms the Beers accepted, aud broke
up their camp at Laing's Mex and dispersed
to their homes. They have by their shor,
and brilliant resistance made themselves SC
respectable IN the eyes Of the English author
tiles That probably no trouble with them will
eyer again occur. They will not again be
threatened with msolence, as Sir Bartle Frert
and Sir Garnet Wolseley threatened them.
