veyor TO perfecting q map Of the great
cattle ranges Of the northwest. of

attempted heretofore. We were al
lowed to examine the map before II
was forwarded to Chicago for publica-
ton and must admit that Its produc-
ton Is very noteworthy. Its correct
ness results from thorough knowledge
OF and experience in this region
comprising about 75,0oo square miles.
A lack Of United States surveys In u
large portion Of the region made the
work extremely difficult, but he has
succeeded admirably and Capt. +. A.

land Office, Miles City, and Col.

attainable. have affixed their certifi.
Gates Of correctness 10 the map. Tn
this enterprise we bespeak for him
liberal patronage from stock men
particularly and from all interested In
the physical and artificial features Of
this rapidly developing district. The
map wilLfetain its value for refernce
during several years to come. Its d.

Three months ago ex-senator Dorsey, the
great ''soapn man of 1880, wrote to Congress
man Springer suggesting the names of wit
nesses who might be able to supply the House
Committee with evidence regarding the Star
route matters. In that letter ex-senator
Dorsey says:
IS. b. Elkins, United Bank Building, New
York, has probably a larger kaO,oiedge than
ann other person Of all the StarraHte matters

papers touching this matter in the hands of
the Sixth Auditor and put an expert in charge
of them, and you will ascertain, first, that l
never received cent from the Government

the men who did receive it were never pros
ecuted."

matters AND THE MONEY PAID, is the
same S. b. Elkins who at the Chicago Con-
yention acted as the General in Chief of the
Blaine movement, who marshalled the Blaine
forces and managed the business Of recruiting
from the Southern delegations.
TO s. b. Elkins more than to any other
living man James G.. Blaine owes his nomi-

Bellicose Blaine.

If Blaine were president, how long would
peace endure, with Bsmarck's hostile attitude
in returning the Ochitree resolution of Con
gress, and his prohibition of American pork ?
How long could foreign war be averted, with
Spain complaining of the filibustering eXpe-
ditions from Florida; and England, France,
Spain, Italy and Germany, demonstrating
against alleged dynamite plots and conspira-
cies, set on foot in this country? We should
probably have to contend against another
Holy Alliance, and all the power and resources
of the American people would be needed to
repel an invasion from combined Europe.
Cancellation has thus far restrained any war
like demonstration, but what would be the
probable outcome of an aggressive foreign
policy towards the leading powers of Europe
in their present disturbed relations towards

the afternoon with DR.. Pheetorous, editor of
Westliche Post, which Mr.. Schurz formerly
managed editorially, and of which he is still
a principal stakeholder. Mr. Schurz told a

his support to Blaine and Logan beyond
this he would not talk, but DIR. Pheetorous
said in his presence, and with his approval
that Mr.. Schurz couldn't support a man for
President with Blaine's corrupt record. The
Westliche Post will take no active part in the
campaign. The Independent Republicans are
to have conference in New York in a few.
days, which Mr.. Schurz will attend, and it
will then be decided what course4they will
pursue, or perhaps they will adjourn to meet
again afterthe Democratic Convention, and
then determine upon their course.
