Catholic Church Fairs Tabooed.

The Dlenary council of Roman Catho
lie church dignitaries at Baltimore have
distinguished themselves, says the New
York Graphic, by the COED sense of their
enactments or resolutions at least in two
instances; firstly, they have forbidden
the sale Of wine, beer or. ardent spirits
at picnics, and secondly, they condemn
those iniquitous pieces of one-sided
gambling called raffles at church fairs.
This will remove the most obnoxi Gus
feature from those numerous methods Of
"raising the wind and prevent the
visitor from being beset from entrance
to exit by hevy Of most pressing young
ladies whose eagerness to extort your
money makes them forget even your
features the moment you are booked, SO
that they frequently come at you again
five minutes after the first transaction.
Another old plenary council law forbid
ding round dances they have also re-
viYed and affirmed. The worldly wis.,
dom of this at any rate is doubtful it is
dead against the spirit of the age, and
will probably be more honored in the
breach than in the observance. A re-
markable evidence of the advances of
the Roman Catholic religion among US
is that henceforth the 7plenary council
will act as an independent church body,
and not as a missionary branch of the
holy church under orders from Rome.

Fencing Public Lands.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 28. = Members
of the senate committee on public lands
express the opinion that the house bill
to prohibit the fencing Of public lands
will be reported back favorably to the
senate, with amendments, soon after
the reconvening of congress. The house
bill makes it lawful for any ciIizen or
settler to remove such fences at will.
This, in the opinion of some of the
members of the senate committee, does
not go far enough, since few settlers
would be willing to incur the powerful
enmlty of the cattlemen and cowboys.
It has been proposed to amend the bill
by re-enacting an old law on the subject,
requiring the removals of fence to be
done by the marshal, and the military
when their services are required.

A Plea For tie South.

Since the election Of Gov. Cleveland
a few northern papers have been filled
with outrageous stories concerning the
south. We are not moved by any fear
of their political result. If in the four
years that must intervene before another
election the south has not demonstrated
that she can safely be admitted to some
participation in the administration of
our common government, she will de-
serve to be shut out forever. The injury
these anonymous slanderers may work
us goes very much deeper than political
hap or nlishap can reach. We have
millions of fertile acres lying idle for
the lack of men to work them. We
have forests untouched, mines undevel-
oped, and water power running wanton
for the lack Of capital. We invite the
fair-minded journalists of the north to
send their most experienced correspon-
dents into this section to search out the
truth. We ask them to investigate for
themselves and print the truth as they
find it. We beg them to shut out the
anonymous slanderer from their col
umns If they will do this, the south
will accept the verdict.-Atlanta Consti-
tuition.

The Arctic Wave.

DENVER, December 23.-Reports from
the mountains show that the snow storm
which has been in progress for several
days still continues, thus far without
unusual or serious results The storm is
most severe in the Blue and Eagle river
country, where the snow is several feet
deep and drifting. The mountain roads
are considerably blockaded. It will
probably be two or three days before the
Salt Lake train will! be able to make
Marshall Pass.
CHEYENNE, December 23.-The Lea
der's specials from all over the territory
indicate that the present is the first real
cold wave of the season. At Fort Nc
Kinney, in the midst of the cattle re-
gion, the thermometer stands 290 below
zero and it is showing hard. The cattle
men are prepared for the storm, and the
damage so far is slight. if any. The in

Comes High, but Must Have 1t.

On election day gentleman at Lare-
do, on the Rio Grande, observed a large
number of Mexicans in town.
"Where did all these Mexicans come
from ?o he asked stranger.
"From the other side of the river" !"
replied a candidate
"What are they going to do over
here?n
ooh, they are going to be voted"
"What for?'
''For dollar apiece
Why, that's outrageous"
" Yes, it is too high, but what can we
do about it? Our opponents, the re-
formers, have run up the prices on us.
Before the reform party was organized
we could get all the Mexican votes we
wanted, delivered at the polls, for SO
cents head but now the lowest price is
one dollar head, spot cash. | tell you
it takes money to be elected to office on
the Rio Grande.n

The Little Rockies.

John x. Castner returned from the
Little Rockies last week and arrived in
the city to-day from Belt creek. Mr..
Castner spent about three months in the
mines and during most of the time was
at work Oh his claim in Little Alder
gulch, making, he informs us, good
average wages during the time. He
brought back seven ounces of gold
about $125-a rather substantial evil
dence of the fact that the yellow stuff
exists in paying quantities in the Little
Rockies.
Mr.. Castner says that between $4,000
and $1,000 have been taken out of Alder
gulch alone since the stampede began,
and during this period there has at no
time been much water in the creek. In
the spring and early summer, when wa
ter is abundant. many of the claims will
pay big.
Mr.. Castner will return in the spring
to resume work on his claims and has
no doubt whatever about making big
wages. He thinks it will be good
camp with plenty of money in sight
next season.
