TINES IN THE NORTH.

Advices received by the steamship
Idaho are "a follows:
Daring the early part of the season the
fish business proved failure. But
though the fish came late they came in
great quantities, SD that at present there
are more than can possibly be used.
News from Cassiar il of dull times with
but little gold coming out. The United
States steamship Hassler arrived on the
10th instant. and receiving coal from
the Idaho, proceeded To 1ongas Mar
rows On the 10th. where she il survey
ing. At Juneau things are very quiet
after the little difficulty with the In
dians, who left at that time. Work in
the mines IL progressing. both on Doug
las Island and the basin; they are re-
ceiving good returns. MIR. Tradner, of
the Tradner ledge on the island, sends
his usual parcel Of 5000 by this steamer
from his five-stamp mill. The total
shipment of dust from Juneau during
August is $1,000. At Pyramid Harbor
the canneries are doing well. though the
fish came late; now they have more than
they want. The N. w. T. Co. and Kin
ney's cannery have each put up this
season about 1900 cases, with prospect
Of swelling this number to at least 5000
before the season is over, besides selling
1000 barrels. At Sitka times are very
quiet. The first run of salmon Is over,
and they are waiting for the second,
which they claim must be as good. The
United States steamer Adams has taken
mp her old mOOrinRs, and the probability
is that she will remain there during the
winter. Commander Merriman con-
templates sending guard to remain at
juneau during the winter TO prevent
more trouble with the Indians. Mrs.
w. Il. Morris gave reception to the ex-
cursionists and officers of the Idaho.
which WAS qnite a brilliant affair, and
reminded old residents of Sitka of old
times. when the Russians were in power
and entertainments of this nature were
frequent. Both at Naha Bay and Cape
Fox canneries fish are very numerous
and cannot all be canned. The water
seems to be literally alive with salmon,
and great future for Alaska is contem-
plated in this industry.

The breeding of cattle on the western
plains has long been a lucrative bust,
ness. 1t has enriched thousands OF
men of limited means. Four-year old
steers could be raised for about SO 80
each and then sold for SIS to S25 at the
railway station. But the old conditions
are changing. The settlement of the
western country has limited the free
pasture land, and as in all other occu-
pations the large cattle dealers have
driven out the smaller ones. The bust
ness is being concentrated into the
hands Of a few men comparatively;
but this monopolizing tendency has
some advantages. The land is being
fenced in, and successful endeavors are
making to improve the quality of the
stock. American beef and mutton are
now equal to, and soon will be the best
of any in the world. When ensilage is
well understood in the middle and north
ern states, we will probably be able to
raise more of our own cattle to supply
the local demand, and then doubtless
the smaller capitalists will again have
a chance. Ensilage, it will be remem-
bered, is the system by which fodder is
kept succulent and fresh all through the
winter months. 1t corresponds to the
canning of fruits and vegetables and is
a comparatively inexpensive process.
But while the great droves of cattle on
the western plains are getting into
fewer hands, it is also rue that the
large farmers are monopolizing the soil
to the exclusion of the smaller tiller of
the earth in all the prairie countries.
This tendency to make great land and
cattle kings is not a wholesome one, for
the hope of our country is, after all, in
a farming class which tills its own soil
and are not h%irelings. Luckily, in
other parts of the country there is a
increase in the number of farm
ers who W 800 and less acres. In
for instance, there are but
little over 5000 farms of more than 500
acres. while there are over 80, 1000 of
than 500 acres. All the billy and
mountainous region of the country, in
the ocean slopes, is more suit
able for small than large farms. In
the neighborhood of the great cities,
also the fruit and vegetable farms are
limited in extent. Landlordism
is more likely to develop its evils on
our western prairies than in any other
of the country

The Carr Murder Case Ends with a
Verdict of Mot Guilty"

INC SuTE "uEueF CHSe EnuS ~ Ith n
Verdict of MOT Guilty"
The jury in the case of The Territory
VS.. John p. Carr, in which the defend
ant was charged with the murder of
George w. Bailey, brought in, yester-
day morning, a verdict of mot guilty. !"
Saturday afternoon Hon. W. W. Cor.
lett made his argument before the jury,
which was a mastery one. and was fol-
lowed by Hon. NJ. q. Brown on behalf
of the prosecution. Those of Mr..
Browns friends who have heard him,
many times and often, unite in saying
that this was the best effort of his bril-
liant career as e jurist. 1t was charac-
terized by his legal colleagues as one of
the finest arguments ever delivered in
the Laramie temple of justice-bril.
liant, eloquent and deep. Judge Blair
followed with his charge to the jury,
in which he carefully reviewed the law
and the evidence, and the twelve men
good and true" retired to their room.
This morning they brought in their YER
dict as given above. We cannot say
that it gives universal satisfaction, be-
cause it does not. An unarmed man
was shot down just as he had turned to
flee from his slayer, and this man is
now free. In the light of the evidence
and the peculiar circumstances under
which the crime was committed, it may
be that he deserves his freedom. The
jury evidently thought so, and 1t was
composed of good, Conscientious men,
who are among the best citizens we
have. Yet a human life was taken,
and a Borrowing wife and several small
children mourn. at any rate, we ven
ture the assertion that Carr, to his dy-
ing day, will hear in his ears the words
"God have mercy !" uttered by Bailey
as he reeled and fell-dead.
In any event, the verdict, though
perhaps a just one, cannot but have a
bad effect upon the community, giving
support to the ~oft-repeated assertion
that "a man who steals a steer goes to
prison for life, while he who sheds hui
man blood goes scot free" 1t will
tend to lessen that respect usually &C
corded the law, which respect, by the
way, has not been any too great since
the acquittal of Pieronnet.

This is a question which, if not set
tied among our townspeople this fall
and the end gained during the coming
meeting of the legislature, need not
again be agitated for two years. The
benefits to be derived from incorpora-
ton, under certain circumstances, are
patent to every one; while some of the
disadvantages likely to accrue from
this forward move can probably be
overcome in a short time and others
dwindle before continued prosperity.
We certainly need a municipal govern
ment and laws which will now effect,
minor matters in the town and proba-
bly, ave much future legislation. A
petition to the legislature to this end
would probably accomplish 1t by next
and as a municipality Buffalo
would rapidly increase, so far as many
improvements are concerned,
and in perhaps other directions. 1t
lies with the people as to what shall be
one.-Buffalo Echo.

Organization of n Copper Company.
James Adams, who, during the past
summer, has been engaged in develop
ing the Adams Copper King mine, has
so far succeeded inhis work rs to JUS
tify the forming of a company. That
company was organized a few days ago
in Chicago under the title of 1.-The
Adams Copper Mining and Reduction
company" with all necessary capital
for working it indefinitely. As will be
seen by the notice elsewhere in this
issue, miners wanted, an extensive
lay out is to be made for future min
ing. The only question that can arise
involving the value of the mine is guam
tity, and in this respect no mine ever
looked better. Tie outlook of the
mine for the owners, the district in
which it is located and the general
prosperity of the community, could not
be better as far as human reason and
calculation can go. The following are
the officers of the new company: Presi-
dent, Governor VIM. Hale, Cheyenne;
vice president, Hon. John Y. Stone,
Iowa; treasurer, Colonel ].
7. Hart, Council Bluffs; secretary,
Hon. G.. Wright, Council Bluffs; gem
eral manager, Hon. Jas. Adams, Chey-
enne.

The opera house vas well filled last
night by an audience heartily pleased
with an entertainment, m~eritorious in
Itself, and, from the nature of the case,
of more than ordinary local interest.
The opera having been given here be-
fore, and therefore being familiar to
our people, interest naturally conferred
more in the personale of the partici-
pants than in the piece itself. OF
course an amateur performance cannot
be treated of according TO the strict
tenets of musical criticism, but it may
be said that there were not a few points
evident last evening which would have
cone credit to the average professional.
Almost without exception the company
gave evidence of careful drill, and
seemed to thoroughly appreciate the
sentiment and tone of the lines which
they rendered. The leading char
acters showed a proper concep-
ton of their parts and ac-
quilted themselves creditably. W.

A Hegira in the Sun Office.
he Printers Demand Justice
In the Matter of Measure
ment' and are Refused.
a Consequence Our Con-
temporary will Hereafter
Sail Under "Rat" CoIors.

It Is not often that we allude to our
neighbor the Sun, but in chronicling
current events we are compelled to dc
so this morning. A serious difficulty
is In progress in the office between the
proprietor and a majority of its hands.
1t is now what the Typographical Un.
ion terms a ''ratp Office. The difficulty
is this: The Sun is printed with what
is known.among printers as a bastard,
type. Only a portion of the public are
aware that printers are paid by the
thousand SENS" Even this has to be
explained to be made clear, but we will
not attempt it here. The SUMS type is
deceptive, and though the printer may
work as hard as he pleases, at the end
of the week he finds he is several dol.
lars short of what he ought to be.
The Sun printers for some time have
been complaining of this disparity,
which ever and anon has doomed up
against them and demanded its rectif-
cation. This the Sun proprietor re-
fused to do and declared that he would
fill his paper with stereotype rather
than submit to it, and submit to it he
didn't. AS a Consequence the majority
OF his workmen left him, and according
to the custom of the Typographical
Union the Sun Office yesterday was de-
clared a rat ofice-run by long-tailed
rats sitting on stools with their tails
either wrapped about the leg of the
stool to steady them or reveling in the
dust on the floor. THE LEADER office
was ''ratted'' about a year ago, but as
the question at issue was not one of
wages it was soon amicably adjusted.
In the SUMS case it is different. The
printers demanded that they be on an
equality with THE LEADER printers in
the matter of wages. That is, the
measuring Of a bastard type so that it
would equivalently remunerate them
for their labor.
The Sun about a year ago protested a
maudlin love for the working man and
denounced the LEADER as opposed to
his interests, and made all the capital
that could possibly be made out of mis-
representation, and in the course of
human events" We regret hat we are
called upon to lay bare this interesting
phase of human nature. In our diff
Guilty we never called upon the Sun to
sympathise with us, but fought it out
Oh our own basis, and so it will be the
policy of the LEADER in the future as
in the past. We will watch with in
terest-and so will the publlc-the pro-
gress of the conflict between the Sun
and Lhe Union-who will get che first
black-eye and who will crawfsh.
Rats, rats-rats with very long tail,
Blue rats and rats from Norway;
Cock-eyed rats, male and female.
