Last Thursday afternoon at half past four
the track layers on the N. p. reached the east
bank of the Yellowstone opposite Billings.
The river is now the only obstacle to prevent
railway trip from New York to Billings,
and We are told that even that obstacle will
soon be bridged. The arrival Of the train
was witnessed by a large number of our citi-
zens, who watched with great interest the
laying of the last rail on the Crow Reserva-
ton In the evening very creditable dis
play of fireworks was made. We understand
that tracklaying on this side Of the river Is
to 20 on at once, and also the work on the
round house. The plans are now ready for a
large depot and hotel combined, which will
cost from $50 900 to $4,000, aud the work Of
preparing the ground has already CON-
menced. 1t will be the finest building Of its
kind west of St Paul. A large force Of men
are bu,ily engaged in grading the side tracks

TIE coils are being frightened around
the farmers of Minnesota. The last turn
of the screw is the purchase of the David
son elevators along the Manitoba road
by the millers of Minneapolis. The pur-
chasers are the same parties who COM
prise the Millers Association at Minneap-
oils. That association previously owned
and controlled large number Of other
elevators and with this last acquisition
their domination is complete. The grade
of wheat will now be controlled alb
solutely by the millers' ring at Min
neapolis and their grip IS so powerful
that the producers will be largely at
their mercy. The farmers had an oppor-
tunity few years ago to break the chains
that bound them, but they walked up to
the polls and voted to rivet them tighter
They seemed to enjoy it and will now
have an opportunity to have the oppres-
sive monopoly made permanent. They
have only themselves to blame.

The Adventures of a Mail Bag

Assistant United States District Attorney
Congdon, returned yesterday from Moorehead
whence he was summ oned few days since to
investigate an alleged mail bag robbery. The
case is peculiar, inasmuch as the suspected
party was entirely innocent, Notwithstanding
the convictions otherwise of quite num-
Der of people and the almost convincing force
Of circumstances in the other direction. The
young man under arrest was VIM. Butler, a
brakeman on freight train, and the alleged
robberies took place at or near Nelson station.
Last Monday the mail agent on the west
bound express, put the mail bag, intended for
Nelson, on the standard, just as they passed
the freight train coming east. The smoke of
the passing train had scarcely lifted, when on
looking back, the mail agent noticed that the
bag was not on the standard where he thought
he had left it moment before.
On going back it was discovered to be miss
ing and suspicion at once set in against the
men on the freight train. The conductor of
the freight was telegraphed, and as Butler
the only man in the rear of the train at the
time, he was taken into custody at Moorhead,
the circumstances being strongly against
him. On Tuesday the mail bag was found
lying alongside Of the track about one mile
east of Nelson, perfectls intact. An investi-
CATION followed, when it was discovered that
projecting rod of iron carried on the freight
engine had snatched the mail bag and carried
it to the place where found. Butler was in
stautly eIonerated.

now existing between the United States
and that power, and its observance tends
to disturb peace and good order on the
right and left banks of the Rio Grande,
is question calling for the most serious
consideration on the part of the govern
ment of the United States.''
That this free zone is detrimental to the
commercial interests of this country,
there can be no doubt, for, IN effect, it
establishes a depot on our immediate
frontier, from which smugglers and ali
venturers can prey on our commerce
under the protection of the civil and mil
itary authorities of Mexico. In order to
open the way to closer commercial rela-
tons with the United States, the repeal
of the decree of 1858 establishing the
IONA Libra, and such alterations in the
custom laws of the country as will enable
foreign ministers to consign their goods
to the markets Of Mexico, without being
subjected to the annoyance of passing
them through the multitude of custom
houses which are now to be found on all
the national and state boundary lines of
that country, are absolute prerequisites to
to the consideration of any proposition
looking to reciprocity treaty between
the two countries. To have goods shipped
IN bulk over the railways now being con-
structed, stopped at the boundary line
of each state through which
the roads run, for the purpose
of collecting customs duties snd examin-
ing packages and goods and produce
shipped in bulk, would be too complica-
ted system to permit of an expansion of
the commerce of the two countries
With the completion of the projected
lines of railroad into that country, such
changes in the customs laws as will tend
to encourage commercial intercourse be-
tween the two countries, will doubtless
be made without unnecessary delay.
In regard to the tariff question, the
United States has everything to make by
| treaty of reciprocity. We have no rea-
son to fear the results of competition
with the handiwork of the Mexican
artisan. There is market south of the
Rio Grande for the surplus products of
this country for the next half century
The work of pushing our commerce in
this direction with energy, intelligence
and foresight, should receive early atten-
ton at the hands of the present admin
lstration.

mia Meet and Bloviate for q Scare.
PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 12.-In response to q
call issued by Chairman J. D. Mckee, of the
Independent Republican State committee about
200 delegates representing almost every county
in Pennsylvania, met in Assembly hall, this
morning for the purpose of discussing the ad.
visibility of placing an independent Republi.
can ticket in the field for state officials and to
formulate some definite action to be pursued
by the Independent Republicans.
Among the prominent persons in attendance
were Chas. s. Wolfe, the Independent Repub-
lican leader; R. s. Garritt, chairman of the
committee of 100 and many other members of
that organization. John j. PinkertOn, of
Chester, was chosen permanent chairman.
Upon taking the chair he, spoke of the arro-
giant conduct of the men who had taken to
themselves the leadership of the Republican
party of Pennsylvania, which he said gave rise
to the Independent movement. The people, he
principles of true Republicanism. Nesbit, of
Northumberland, offered resolution to the
effect that the convention be held April
70, for the purpose of placing
in nomination a full Independent
ticket for the Offices to be filled
at the general election next November. W.
E. Lockwood submitted platform of prin.
ciples, which was placed on the table for the
present. Charles s. Wolfe, amid great ap-
plause, arose to speak to the resolution Of
Nesbit. Wolfe said the conference had
gathered as patriots and Republicans, because
the standard of the party had fallen into the
hands of those who persisted in dishonoring
it. He said the conference to-day was the
first formal and effective step towards regen-
Grafton of the Republican party. Derr, of
Lebanon, offered as a substitute to Nesbit's
resolution, that this body recommend to the
state central committee that they order con-
ventions to be held in the different counties,
for the purpose of sending delegates to con-
ventiOn of regulars on the 10th of May. He
made long speech in direct opposition to the
utterances of Wolfe, and advocated reform

QUE TRADE WITH MEXICO.

The railroads now being built in Mexi-
co are destined to revolutionize the COM
MERGE of that country, and necessitate
radical changes in the national and state
laws for the collection of the customs
revenue. There is no constitutional in
hibition of state or local determinations
against foreign products which have
passed the Mexican custom house. Goods
imported into Mexico first pay tribute
at the national custom house, and in ad-
dition thereto, such duties as each state
through which the goods are transported
may see fit to impose. In fact the GUS
toms revenue laws of Mexico have been
for many years past a fraud on the COM
merce of the world. The merchant
who ships a cargo Of produce,
or stock Of American goods
to the City of Mexico, in
order to act intelligently, and protect
himself against loss, finds that it is nee
essary for him to master the customs and
revenue loans of all the States and Ter
ritories of Mexico. To add to this unsat-
isfactory condition of things, the su-
preme government of Mexico, established
in 1858, what is known as the IONA Lii
bra. This free zone is strip of territory
about six miles wide On the right bank of
the Rio Grande, and extends
from Matamoras to Montery Laredo,
Foreign goods taken into this free zone
are exempted from all federal duties, but
under the decree of 1858 they are liable
taxes levied for municipal and State
purposes.
The existence of this free zone has
been the subject, on several occasions, of
very earnest correspondence between the
governments of the United States and
Mexico. The commissioners appointed
by the United States investigate the
frontier complications which have for so
many years made life and prosperity un-
safe on the Rio Grande, in commenting
on these disturbances, say:
ssTo what extent the decree of 1858, is.
sued by the supreme government of Mex
leo, comes in conflict with the treaties

1t has been customary for the speaker to
consult his defeated opponent on the subject
of committees. Mr.. Kerr and Mr.. Randall
did this, but Mr.. Keifer consulted with no
Democrat, not even Mr. Randall, as to what
assignment should be made. The Democrats,
with scarcely an exception, are indignant, and
so express themselves. A large number of
Republicans, and among them Mr. Orth and
Mr.. Kasson, are chagrined.
Lord Byron's statue at Missolonghi was
unveiled with solemn ceremony the other day.
A funeral service was performed, and then the
clergy and civic authorities, headed by trump
eters, walked in procession to the site of the
statue. The Prefet said, in voice loud enough
for all to hear: "Let the veil fall! Let us
uncover the statue of the grand martyr of our
holy revolutionl-the grand beneiactor of
Greecel" The trumpet then sounded, and
national airs were played by the military
bands.
Sarah Taylor, Quakeress of long unques-
toned devoutness, has been exposed at Waynes
vile, Ohio, as confirmed thief. A search of
her house revealed great quantities of booty,
some of which had been stolen twelve years
ago, and all carefully secreted in the cellar,
under floors, and in other out-of-the-way
places. The articles ranged from brooms to
jewelry, and included much wearing apparel
She has taken nearly all these things from
neiglbors' houses and from guests in her own
house, going SO far on one occasion as to rob
the mourners at funeral. She has made
full confession, declaring that she was irresis-
tiblY impelled, and her friends call heI KEEP

President James Buchannan's bachelorhood
was the result of foolish misunderstanding.
While successful young lawyer in Lancaster
he became engaged to beautiful but some
what domineering girl. Some legal business
sent him into neighboring county where he
remained for several days. When he returned
one evening he found his Office filled with
importunate clients, and tired and hungry as
he was he attended to business. Then hurry
ing to the home of the angel of his dreams
he found it closed and dark. Next morning
he repeated the visit, and, although he saw
Miss-at the window, he was told by SER
want that she was not at home. He walked
away and never approached the house again.
Neither could subdue pride enough to make or
seek an explanation. The young lady shortly
after died, and Mr.. Buchanan never attempted
to win another woman.

st Louis Custom House Investigation.

ST. LOUIS, Jan. 11.-Mr. E. Church, of
Washington, has arrived here under in
structions from the treasury department
to investigate the charges against Alex.
Cameron, superintendent of construction
of the custom house here. These charges
are alleged to be general incompetency
and partiality, and are said to have been
preferred by a man named Dickson, who
was connected with the customs at one
time The charges are said to be en-
dorsed by G. st. Gene, collector of the
port, and Mr.. Pohlman, chairman of the
republican central committee, whorecom-
mended an investigation at once. 1t is
stated that Mr.. Snyder, contractor for
granite, took action in the matter. 1t is
understood that Mr.. Church is instructed
to ascertain what, if any, political ami
mus figures in the case, as well as to
learn the truth or falsity of the charges.
