Mn. Blanchard is young, ear
nest, laborious and honest, and,
what is more, he has in no wise
been contaminated by Washington
associations. Still free from all
the vices Of the average Congress
man, he remains the same plain,
unaffected, sober and Christian gen
tleman that he always was. =.
1t would be suicidal for the people
OF this district to deprive them
selves of his services. Let us emu
late the example of the old Ashtu-
ouia District in Ohio, which had
but three members in the United
States Congress in over fifty years,
Josiah X. Giddings and James A.
Garfield. These were all great
men, but they owed their greatness
to their constituents, who sent them
back to Congress, term after term,
because Of their usefulness, resulting
from service and experience. In
this respect the Northern people are
wiser than we have been since the
war. When they get a good man
in Congress they keep him there,
and their political ascendancy is
mainly due to this fact. We have
the best man for the place in the
District now in Congress. Let us
keep him there" [Coushatta (Red

However, they were not prepared to give
any decided answer to Mr.. McDougall's
communication, for they desired official
notification from Denver that the men
there were satisfied, and further, general
instructions to all points would be neces-
sary, ere the strikers could resume work.
In order to ascertain the condition of af-
fairs in Denver, and with the object of
~learningif the concessions offered by Gen
eral Manager Clark were satisfactory, the
Knights of Labor sent a dispatch to Den
yer asking for information and instruc-
tons. The following reply was received
DENVER, Colo, August IS.
The news is correct for Ellis, but not
for here. Hold out for further orders.
Thus the situation stood at I O'Clock
last evening. While the strike was sue
cessful the men evidently do not intend to
resume work until arrangements entirely
satisfactory are made, and at the present
writing it is not known whether the strike
will continue to-day or whether it is now
practically ended. The trains could be
run a few days even if the strike should
last, but there can be little doubt that all
Of the employees would join the strikers
inside of a week, thus rendering the trans
portation of passengers and freight i'm
possible.

One of the best known cattlemen in the
Territory writes THE LEADER that Texas
fever is rampant on Cheyenne River, in
Hot Greek Basin and on White River.
0utof six through herds three had the
disease, one in the midst of the writer's
range. Within two days 500 wero sick
and forty were dead. A meeting to take
steps to prevent the spread of the disease
was held at Fort Robinson yesterday.
The gentleman who writes to THE LEADER
uses very iorcibie language and says that
vigorous measures for the repression of
the disease should be Immediately taken
by all interested in the cattle of that
section.

1t il learned from Hon. Homer Merrill
that there seems to be a general desire
to make any stock display, which this
Territory may make at the Denver Expo
%sition, so characteristic of our cattle that
it will attract general attention and no
little interest. One of the best plans sug-
gested is to send a car load of grades and
beef cattle which wersTaised on the Wyo-
ming ranges and Fhick have waxed fat
upon the grasses of the Territory alone.
1t is also suggested that 4 display be made
of what can be accomplished by crossing.
1t is intended that the Stock Association
shall have charge of the matter.

Mr.. W, C. Lykins leaves this morning
for Fort Robinson and Hat creek, for the
purpose of stopping Eve herds of Texas
cattle which are now en- route to ranges in
the Belle Fourche country. Some of the
herds came over the trail and others were
shipped by rail. They were purchased by
Joseph Knight. R. B. Horrie, @. F. Mil
Ter and others. Mr.. Lykins goes with the
authority of the Stock Grower Associa-
ton endorsing the action he may take.

The aspects of the strike were measur-
ably altered at midnight sand it is now
evident that the end has not been reached.
The Knights of Labor received, during
the evening, information which they de-
cline to give to the public, bnt it is learned
that still further demands will be made Of
the road. Among otherthings it is proba-
bly, that they will ask that
all employees who have been discharged
recently be re-employed and that the ex-
pense be lessened by the reduction of the
working hours, the pay per hour remain
ing, however, the same that it now is.
Such an arrangement would give employ
ment to Aarger number o men while the
expense to the roa would be no greater
than it now is. This is merely
a supposition and is, at
best but one of several conditions the men
may impose.
Train No. IL, which should have left
for the West about s o'clock last evening,
did not go out, and it is impossible TO tell
at tho present writing whether the trains
will run regularly to-day or not. Men
from all departments of the road are Join
ing the strikers and unless some
decided action is taken within a few hours
the result may be serious To-day the
management may grant the additional de
mands made last pight, and should they
do SO work will doubtless be resumed.
Otherwise the situation will be worse to-
night than it was last night. Such seems
to be the present condition of affairs to
those who have observed the progress of
the strike

Mr.. Barclay, the member for Forfar-the

of Denver-should all be held in grateful
rememberonce by our Northwestern
ranchmen when this trade opens. 1
should also like to add hat Mr.. Lingham,
the immense live stock importer of Mon
treal. is in a very large measure the father
of the original idea. l hope ranchmen
will bear this in mind and give him their
shipments, for he intends to devote him
self to this export trade from the moment
our cattle reach the rail to the moment
they are handed over to the English far
mer and for a very moderate commission.
| may add that he is now handling for ex-
port some forty thousand cattle a year"

A Letter From DE. HOPKINS.

Secretary Sturgis, of the Stockgrowers
Association, yesterday received a letter
from Territorial Veterinarian Hopkins.
The letter was dated at Sidney Crossing,
on the Running Water, in Nebraska, on
the llth inst. DR.. Hopkins states hat
he had examined two herds which had
stopped on a cattle range in that vicinity.
One of the herds was composed of 1900
head and the other of 1900. On inquiry
he learned that these cattle had come from
the Panhandle of Texas, where Texas
fever is unknown. The cattle were con-
seduently as susceptible to the disease as
ordinary range cattle hereabouts. These
cattle had been driven from Texas on foot
to Ogalalla, and thence along the south
side of the North Platte to Sidney bridge,
from which point they were trailed in a
%northerly direction. They had been ex-
posed to the disease on the south side of
the Platte river, and began to sicken and
die on the range where they now are.
These cattle will not infect any range or
native cattle, as the disease ends with
them, and the Doctor has SO assured the
nnchmen in that vicinity,
From this point DIR. Hopkings drove
back to Running Water to see the cattle
represented to be sick there. He found
1000 head belonging to s. P. Delatour,
which had been driven the from Repub-
lican river in Nebraska. He had examined
this bunch at 0galalla, and cautioned the
owner to keep off the Texas trail. It ap-
pears he did not regard the advice. Della
tour has already lost forty head and there
are many more of his herd sick.
w. D. Hudson, an emigrant with cattle
bound for French creek, in the Black
Hills, left Omaha July l. He drove
along the Platte to the point from which
the Doctor wrote and crossed the trail OF
Rankin's Texas cattle at Brady's Island.
Out of a bunch of fifty thirty have already
died. Like the others, they cannot com
municate the disease.
The Doctor has now gone to Hat creek
and Fort Robinson.

LAUNDERING 1T INTO HAMMER.


froNc convincing
A tall, lank individual with a cadaver-
cast of countenanee and a crimson tip
to the end of a fair-sized nose, whose
somber black clothing hangs Imply and
casually about his meager figure, has been
inHicting his presence upon this suffering
community for a week past.
The name of the person in question is
Thomas Jefferson Hammer, who claims
to be a citizen of the world, but whose
local habitation and home is Denver.
Hammer is gifted with many weaknesses,
prominent among which may be men
toned n notion that he is a Born Jour
nalist.
In speaking of himself, which by the
way is his principal conversational theme,
he is necessarily somewhat ambiguous, and
claims to be simply Thomas Jefferson
Hammer, of the Western Press. Only
this and nothing more.
Mr.. Thomas Jefferson Hammer has
some %pretentions to being a Meratepr.
He has lately issued a minute pamphlet
which he denominates Hammer
on Ingersoll, in which he INDUCES in
much whitening sarcasm and lays out In-
fdel B OBJ stark and cold, intellectually
speaking. Still Mr.. Hammer is not a
Christian. His leaning is toward Tom
Paineism. As he cheerfully admits in
his little pamphlet the grand climax of
all his writings is now in course of plepa.
ration, but viii not be given to the public
for several years, as the subject requires
the best thought OF a whole life to do it
justice. 1t will be noticed that Mr..
Thomas Jefferson Hammer is quite frank
about the matter. l-
The principal object OF Mr.. Thomas
Jefferson Hammers visit here is to sur
vey the field with the alleged intention of
projecting an evening paper. The sue
cess which ho has SO far met has not been
sufficient of itself to turn his head.
He has had the kindness and fore
thought to call at this Office with the in
formation that THE LEADER is leagued
against any evening newspaper that may
be sprung in this city.
Seventeen positive and specific state
ments that THE LEADER didn't care a
brass farthing if Mr.. Thomas Jefferson
Hammer started four evening papers,
have had no effect.
The demon Doubt still pursued him.
As a publication of the statement may
have the effect of convincing him the mat
ter is thus reiterated through the columns
of the paper.
No, Thomas Jefferson Hammer, The
LEADER does not care a continental how
soon you sink other peoples money in an
evening paper.

The Prophets of Petroleum.


The celebration ofthe opening of the frs
oil wei in PENNSYLVANIA by Col Drake nea
TitusyIlle. has revived interest in the MAJ
vellous history Of the petroleum industry
and curiosity has thus been excited in pr
dictions as to petroleum future. 1t az
pears that the 5, 900 wells opened in th
valley of the Oil Greek during thr last twei
ty-6ye years, 10000 are still flowing, an
since 1850 the daily production has range
from 60, 900 to 100000 barrels. The ma.
nitude of the industry is forcibly represen
ed in the export statistics for 1883, whic
show that 533, l34, 100 gallons of oil, wort
Si7.T6l, 626. was the amount shipped iron
the United States during the year. Tn
gain in value as compared with 1882 e.
ceeded 100000. Few persons are san
guine enough, however. to predict an in.
crease at that rate year by year in the f
ture. and il is not even thought desirable I,
increase production so rapidly. Alread
there is danger Of an over supply in the for
eign market, and it is not best to hasten the
solution of the problem as to the possibility
of exhausting the.oil wells of the United
States An industry which has sprung t,
such colossal proportions within a quarte'
of century. may decline as swiftly as i
has grown. but the prevailing belief is that
with proper management in the oil fields
the flow of petroleum will continue far into
the next century, if not as long as the cour
try has need Of it.

The Resorts of Defaulters.


An Ohio cashier has changed the course
of immigration for defaulters. For six
months all these people have been going to
Canada. He, it is announced, has simply
gone West Just where he has gone the
creditors are not likely TO know until the
money is all spent.
But it must be clear why he went. Can.
ada is all well enough as a summer resort
but when it comes to an allround-twelve
month-in-the-year place a more southern
climate is much to be preferred As the
season advances these interesting emigrants
may be trusted to shift their new quarters
still further in the direction Of the tropics
That they will stop taking the money Of
depositors to spend on themselves or in
Wall street is too much to ask, and that
any large proportion of them shall get into
Jail or the penitentiary is more than ought
to be expected from past experience
Canada will remain a pleasant summer re-
sort, while Mexico and Cuba will no doubt
be greatly improved as places for spending
the winter.
In this way the boosted enterprise Of the
United States will find successful employ
ment in new and congenial fields and de-
poSitors will continue to spread the bless,
ings of business enlargement to remote
regions The balance OF trade in Williams
will also continue to be largely in our
favor.

YERNONTs ELECTION.

To-day Vermont holds her biennial cleo
ton. In 1880 the Republicans gave GAR
FIELD 26,O36 majority, while HAYES in 1876
had 23.s3s, and GRANT in ls72 3O,56l
The variation Of the Presidential majoritieS
from those given for the State ticket in the
same year has not been large enough to b.
Of any significance Maine is expected to
throw a larger vote on the Sth Of September
than she ever did before. Vermont to-day
will not come up to her old fgsres. Every
body knows why. There are Republicans
who can't vote for BLAINE and who can't
be persuaded to give him the benefit Of a
vote for the Republican ticket in September.
But Col PNGREE, who is a popular candi-
date, and enjoys what in one sense is al ad-
vantage in not being the ring candidate, is
likely to have a majority for Governor OF
10000 or So which, compared with the fig
ures Of former years, isn't anything to boast
Of The Republicans have been putting &
lot of their ablest orators in the field from
all parts Of the country. The very poorest
of them couldn't have sdone less for the
cause than Senator EpNrNps did by his one
speech, and probably he, by his very pres
ence, did more than he wanted to do. We
see no sign that Vermont will DO anything
to make BLAINE happy or the country I'M
happy. A 10000 majority won't do it.
