Washington, Aug. 3.-As the bottom
facts are reached, it appears that Harper
q Bros. have a private and personal
grudge against Mr.. Blaine, because he
would not give them the publication of
his book, Twenty Years in Congress"
If Mr.. Blaine had employed them as his
publishers, it is probable, if not certain,
that the Harper establishment, includ-
ing Mr.. Curtis, would to-day be earnest
ly supporting the republican ticket. The
keenness oftbe Harpers' disappointment
in not securing the publication Of the
book is proportioned to the earnestness
with which they sought it and the cool
ness with which Blaine declined their
offer. On the 18th of March, 1883, J. w.
Harper, Jr., the head of the firm, wrote
to gentleman in this city, requesting
him to see Mr.. Blaine on the subject Of
publishing the book, assuring him that
Harper & Bros. would be glad to be
considered in the matter" Mr.. Harper
added the following. which about this
time constitutes what Horace Greeley
used to call mighty interesting reading"
With the instinct Of publisher &C.
customed to deal with the people rather
than with privileged classes, l recognize
the fact that there is no man living more
closely in sympathy with the people
than Mr.. Blaine. / keep not unframed
finger on the popular pulse, which, in
our vigorous American life, is generally
healthy, and / am sure that it beats
strongly in admiration and affection for
a man who has been absolutely fearless
in his patriotism. Mr.. Weeds remenis-
censes will be interesting as the record
of an acute observer, but am sure that
Mr.. Blaine's narrative will hold the
American people, because it will be
human, real flesh and blood; the record,
not Of Machiavellian observer, but of
an active participation, brave fighter
and gallant leader in the most critical
events of our nations history. So, when
it comes quite convenient to you, wish
that you would give Mr.. Blaine to un-
derstand that while the doors of Frank
lin Square always stand wide open to
"them literary fellers," such as scholars,
and poets, and novelists, and evangelists,
ard travellers, the proprietors generally
go down to the sidewalk to welcome the
historian Of his own times, and, with
uncovered heads, reverently help him
to unload the manuscript from his
triumphal car on the elevated railroad.
Please intimate all this to Mr.. Blaine.
You know how to do it gracefully and
effectively.

The Cattle Plague.

Omaha Bee, 9Th The great topic Of
conversation among stock men in this
city last week was the cattle plague re-
ported to be prevailing at an alarming
extent in Western Nebraska. 1t is be-
lieved however that :he statements are
considerably exaggerated and it is
thought by some that in few days it
will be thing Of the past.
The only places where this disease
has appeared along the line of the Union
Pacific are at Maxwell, Brady's Island
and Ogallala, three points touched by
cattle driven from Texas and the Indian
territory. 1t was also reported last even
ing that the plague had broken out to
an alarming extent at Valentine and
was making friehtful inroadson the cat
tie in that section.
This disease was first noticed on Sat-
urday last at Brady's Island. Shortly
before that time herd Of Texans had
been into that section and the native
cattle in large herd began dying off
and it was reported yesterday that only
two were left.
Governor Dawes in the early part of
the week sent out committee of inves-
tigation which yesterday was at work
near Maxwell, and the Wyoming Cattle
Growers association ordered its veter-
mary surgeon, DIR. Hopkins to visit the

scene of these ravages. 1t was thought
by many that the disease was one with
which southern cattlemen have been
long acquainted and known as the Texas
fever DR.. Hopkins Yesterday telegraph.
ed p. p. Shelby, freight agent Of the
Union Pacific road, that such is the case.
some ofthe cattle that have died from
this strange disease have been examined
and the condition Of the organs and
vitals closely investigated. The lungs
and bladders are always filed with
blood, and the kidneys, in addition to
congestion, are generally swollen. An
other mystery concerning this disease is
the manner in which it is communicate
ed. Cattlemen say that contact with
ground over which these Texans have
travelled is absolutely necessary to COM
municate the disease to native cattle.
1t is said that herd Of diseased Texans
will not innoculate natives with the dis.
ease, provided rail fence only seperate
them, but upon turning the natives into
the Texans pasture the disorder will
soon appear. This disease has other
peculiarities also. The Texan never
die of this fever and natives can endure
it only for few hours. Although many
remedies have been used for this dis
order none have seemed in the least to
alleviate the fever or check the disease.
While native cattle seem very suscepti.
be to the disease, it is never commune
Gated from one to another--it spreads
only from Texans to native cattle.
The presence of this disease at this
time in the history of Western Ne
braska's cattle trade, is attempted to be
explained on the theory that this dis.
ease is Il latent one, and in former times
when all cattle were driven north the |
disease had worked itself out, and con-
did not appear among the
but now the quick transmission
Of cattle from the south to the north |
changes the condition ofthings.

On the 10th of last May the above
mine passed into the hands Of the Cedar
Rapids Gold Mining company Of Cedar
Rapids, Iowa, with a capital stock of
SO 100000 divided into 100000 shares at
par value Of $40 each. The officers OF
the company are James Motion, presi-
dent. and Doctor w. II. French. treas
urer, both wealthy and influential resi-
dents of Cedar Rapids At the time of
the transfer VIM. Bachelor of the same
place, who has a mining experience
Of 80 years, was placed in charge Of the
mine here with full authority to handle
the property as he saw fit and when they
see the systematic manner in which the
mine has and is being developed they
will congratulate themselves on the
wisdom of their action.
On the 10th Of May development on
the property was begun and now consti-
tute the following openings: One SO
foot shaft and one lO4 feet, AT the
commencement the lead only showed a
width Of one foot. On the 60 foot level
of the l04 foot shaft a drift was run l30
feet and cross cut showed the vein to be
Is feet wide prospecting on an average
So per ton. On the 100 foot level an
other cross cut was made and the same
satisfactory results obtained.
A whim Of the latest approved pattern
has been put in to facilitate the hosting
Of the ore and the main shaft will he
pushed 46 feet further, making a total
depth attained Of $50 feet which will he
made the working level with drifts and
cross cuts.
The superintendent is running omen
III the workings on hour shifts, each
shift sinking on an average one foot or
a total depth Of three feet gained every
"a hours.
A year ago this property was said to
be nothing but a pocket, but develop
ments have proven different and it can
now be numbered among the permanent
rich mines Of the Hills, and next sum-
mer viii see it among the dividend pay
ing ones. The ore is like that found in
the st. Elmo and Grizzly Bear and is
rich in Zee gold specimens, but the fact
that there is now well defined vein Is
feet wide that will mill IS per ton shown
up by the above workings is more a
matter to be jubilant over, and on which
the company is to be congratulated.

Pioneer Press, 3rd Delegate John B.
Raymond Of Dakota was in st Paul v yes-
terday and an interview showed him
serenely confident as to his ronomina-
ton to congress. Major Raymond says
Messrs. Petteigrew and Edwards are re-
ally working for him by the tatics they
arc pursuing and he proposes to let 'em
work for while at least. He has net
INDUCED in any delegation additions
and doesn't pretend to guess at the
majority he will have at the Pierre con-
vention, but none the less does he feel
well assured Of success. Later in the
campaign he may DO little touring and
show that Mr.. Pettigrew's claim II could
have done all that Raymond did and
more had it not been for"-this that and
the orther, is not founded on strict fact.
The present delegate evidently knows
what he is talking about when he says
he has an abundance offriends in south
ern Oak ota and in the Black Hills. He
says he is not opposed to Sam Nc
Masters, the Hills favorite. and recog-
nizes that almost every section has it's
favorite. But he is none the less conf
dent as to whom the majority will de
eide upon. His belief is that the opposi-
ton desire TO spring number of candi
dates on the convention, twenty, maybe,
and thus weaken the Raymond strength.

Many laughable lapses have occur
red in the pulpit. Naturally, most of
these have resulted from ignorance, but
from that tendency to slips which no
one can at all times avoid. The won
derfal number OF ''clerical errors"
which are current arises probably from
the fact that the opportunities of hear
ing them are more frequent than in
the case of political or other speakers.
