TnE popular vote of the United States
in 1856, as shown by the Presidential
election returns, was S,l79,t3S and in
1880, taking the same returns Tor basis,
IL was 9,2lO,g7O, showing an increase In
twenty-four years of G,O3l ,537. TILDEN's
majority over HAYES in 1873 was 2j0,S07,
and GARFiRLD's over HANCOCK In 1880
was 7,0ls. II will be seen from this
that IL both parties have increased In
the same ratio since 1850 IL would only
take change OF $500 votes from the re-
publican TO the Democratic party to rem
der them numerically equal. Since the
election of BUCHANAN but two candi-
dates have received a majority of the

were to cast their electoral votes for

counted as doubtful States, for they will
most probably prove Democratic, Main,

\ night or two ago Il certain person
from one ot.the r.gches north of Chey-
enne who had been on a liule racket Of
ms own for a day On two concluded that
he would turn himself loose promiscu
ously and take in the town." He
thereupon sailed out with a couple of
companions-und while he did not perhaps
'taEesln the town TO any very alarming
extent ne did succeed in taking in unlim-

Then, of course, Icing a man who had
considerable respect for himself as Mark
Twain would say, he proceeded to cruise
around Chicago with his companions.
He eventually was stricken with the foot

his way back to the business portion of
the city he commenced to give decided
utterance to his feeling, When at the
corner of Eighteenth and Thomes streets
he shouted out at the top of his voice,
"Jes show me a fly cop, walyer?' Pro
ceeding 4 little further on his way he
came to the mex corner when he again
shouted for II fly cop. He kept up
this sort of racket until he got near the
McGregor corner, where, being convinced
that there was no longer any question
about his being a ''hard man from Bitter
Greek he pitched in and set up the
most unearthly sc~reeching and whooping
such as has not been heard in the Magic
City for many months and all the time
wanting T. see a policeman, a sheriff or a
constable, anything in the shape of an
officer. just about that time something
was heard to drop on the sidewalk and his
two companions skipped. The some

slowly opened the nntankerous individu-

A BURsTED BUBBLE.
Mount Pisgah Not in the Least Afflicted
with Gold Quartz.

Yesterdays Denver Republican con
tanned IN article from a trustworthy scien-
tiic authority which will probably tend to
diminish the senseless stampede for the
regions of the alleged gold discoveries in
Pisgah, near Canon City, Colorado. No
body hereabouts who had any knowledge
of the country believed for a moment in
the genuineness of the discovery. The
Republicans special telegram read as
follows
GOLD VALLEY, April 22.-In yester-
day specials ! stated that there was no
placer ground here. | must say now that
no lode claims of value have been discov-
cred, nor is it probable hat any will be
found. The rock is chiefly trap, and is
absolutely barren. My tests have been
rigid and exhaustive, including every
species of rock in the so-called lodes and
deposits, and they do not show a trace of
valuable mineral. Somebody has been
guilty of hat which should end his career
in Colorado, for a quietly conducted inves-
tlgation satisfies me that every sample
from which valuable returns have been
received was previously filed with chloride
Of gold by n or two interested parties.
Full particulars will follow by mail. Mean
while the outrage which has been perpe-
trated upon the public should be denounc-
ed in the strongest terms in the RepWJh-
can, that the stampede hither may be
stopped as soon as possible.

STANDARD VI
A Circular In Relation to 1t Issued by
Union Pacific Officials.

a c~ircular addressed to conductors, en-
gineers and all employees of the Nebraska
division o fthe Union Pacific railway has
just been issued by General Superintend-
ent Nichols, approved by Assistant Gen
eral Manager Kimball. The circular is
important in its relation to the standard
time by which the trains will hereafter be
run and is as follows:
On Thursday, May l, 1884, at eleven
thirty-six Ql:36) O'Clock a.. m, present
standard time, which will be eleven
(ll;00) O'Clock a. M, standard mountain
time, and twelve 1900 O'Clock o
standard central time, upon the taking
effect of Time Schedule No. 80, the stand
ard of time will be changed east of North
Platte from - Omaha Meridian Time" to
Central, or Goth Standard Meridian"
which is t%wenty-four (24 minutes faster
than the standard heretofore in use, and
west of North Platte to Mountain, or
l05h Standard Meridian" which is
thirty-six 1867 minutes slower than the
otdLdhih hSlGlOlOIt III USE.
In making the change from the old to
the new standard the following method
will be observed:
At eleyen-twenty-dve IA. 25) o'clock A.
NJ, on Thursday, May l, 1884, all trains
and engines then upon the road will stop
at a telegraph station to receive the new
time, which will be sent at eleven thirty
six Ql.36) a. NJ, by the old time, which
will be twelve az. OO) O'Clock noon east of
North Platte, and eleven QD o'clock A.
NJ, west of North Platte by the new time,
at which moment all cdtches and clocks
lciU be mored ahead 10 tpelre Q2.OO)
o'clock noon, east of North Platte. and
back to eleven O1.OO) o'clock A. NJ, west
of North Platte.
The Standard Central and Mountain
Time will then be in effect.
Trains hat are liable to be on the road
between stations at eleven-twenty-ive
(ll.2j) A. NJ. by the old time, will stop at
the nearest telegraph Office and remain
there until the new time has been received
and they receive orders to proceed. After
the new time has been sent, Time Seized
ule No. 80 will be in effect Trains then
on the road can only proceed as directed
by the dispatcher.
1t will be the duty of train dispatchers
to know that all conductors and engineers
have the standard time leaving terminal
stations until Time Schedule No. 80 has
been in effect forty-eight hours.

THE MeFADDEN SHOOTING.
Operator Ketchun Held on the charge
Of Murder. ~

The examination of the telegraph ope-
rator Ketchum for the shooting and kill
ing of McFadden, at Rawhide Buttes on
Monday night, took place before Justice
Hart at Fort Laramie yesterday, resulting
in the holding of Ketchum on the charge
of murder. The accounts which were Sc
cured last night in reference to the testi-
mony were but little more than a mere
repetition of what has already been given
to the public through the columns Of THE
LEADER. 1t appears, however, that
Ketchum fired two or more shots as well
as McFadden and it Is fair to presume,
especially since an investigation has been
held, that there are two sides to the story
and after all Ketchum may not have been
entirely justified in what he did. Opera
tor Ketchum is now on his way to Chey-
enne in charge of Special Deputy Snow,
of Fort Laramie, and will arrive some
time to-day.

THE FIRE LIMIT.
A Rigid enforcement of the Ordinance
on the Subject.

Some time & Mr.. james Ferris set
out TO move an old wooden building to q
vacant lot belonging to him on the corner
Of Twentieth and Eddy streets and
although there was considerable objection
made on the part of the residents in that
vicinity, he, nevertheless. eventually es-
tablished the building on the lot in the
locality mentioned. This lot is Just within
the fire limits. The fire ordinance pro
vides that it shall be unlawful to build,
erect or place any wooden building with
In the certain limits which are defined in
the ordinance. The building, of course.
could not be said to have been built or
erected on the lot for it was built before
it was moved there but under the defni-
ton of the word place the moving of
the building to that locality was in effect
the same as though it had been erected
there. The moving of the structure was
a placing of the building, where, ac-
eording to the ordinance, it had no right
to be. The matter was finally taken TO.
the courts, Il complaint against Mr.. Ferris
having been made before Judge Fisher,
where the defendant voluntarily appeared
yesterday. The ordinance appeared to be
against Mr.. Ferris and after some figuring
on both sides 4 compromise was finally
effected by which Mr.. Ferris is to remove
the building by May 9, when the COM
plant is to be withdrawn. This is the
first case of the kind that has occurred in
Cheyenne for years.
