THE INDIAN TERRITORY.

The Cheyenne Transporter contains
The following items:
The Indians have been busy for
some time picking their corn. of
which large crop was this year
grown by them. They find good de-
mand for their corn, selling it to the
traders. The Indians are greatly en-
couraged with their first attempt at
farming, and next year more of them
will till their soil.

cy herd, has just finished burning fire.
guards around his winter range few
miles north of the Agency. The herd.
which numbers over 1900 head, is in
fine flesh 10 90 into winter, and unless
it should be an exceptionally severe
one, Mr.. Mann thinks the ca tile will
come out next spring in good condi-
ton.
The booded bulls added last spring
TO the agency herd by the interior de-
partmcut have about all died of fever
of some sort. Ii seems an impossible
ily to successfully raise blOOded cattle
ON these ranges, for they have been
repeatedly introduced here and in
every case have died from fever. MIR.
c. Ii. Mann, who is an admirer of fine
stock. has just sold Short horn COW
valued at 500.
Messrs. ID. Hays, I. Council, e. ID.
Williams and W w. Charles have
been out several times duck and
chicken shooting. These prominent
gentlemen profess to be crack shots,
and the innocent birds stand slim
chance of escape when they get a
showing at them. But just how many
birds they returned with, we have not
been able to learn. At one shot Mr..
HAYS downed twenty-five ducks: or
one duck at twenty-five shots, we
know not which.

REPUBLICAN, TICKET.
TOO MUCH RAILROAD.

Some people think and even assume
TO assert that Kansas has all the rail-
way facilities needed for the present,
or that will pay, which only shows
their ignorance. not only Of the dc
velonemen. OF The state bui of the rail-
road question: in general. There is
not the least doubt that we are enter
ing Oh an era of great railroad build
ing and we doubt not that the increas-
ed construction is demanded, especial
" in Kansas, Nebraska and the west
generally. Massachusetts has one
mile of railroad to every four square
miles of territory, while Kansas has
only one mile of railway TO every
thirty square miles of territory. Mr..
Edward Atkinson, the well known
staticsan, says that Kansas needs
about three thousand more miles of
road TO bring her up 10 even proper
tional footing with Massachusetts, or
one mile to sixteen miles square of
territory, that is Kansas must have
three thousand more miles of road to
have the same facilities in meeting her
present demands 10 be on footing
with Massachusetts in those respects.
To leave out of the question the de-
mands of trade, production and manu-
facture, to put Kansas on a railroad
footing with Massachusetts, simply as
to territory. Kansas would
have TO have, all told,
twenty thousand miles of railroad, or
about five times the number of miles
reported by the railroad assessors as
being in operation in the state last
April. or Instead of thirty million of
dollars of assessed value as reported
for 1885. one hundred and fifty million
dollars.
We gather farther from Mr. Akin
sons tables. that Kansas and ten other
western and southern states, will have
by the wear 1900, or in is ears, one
mile OF road 10 every sixteen square
miles of territory. lie shows that,
barring civil revolution or anarchy,
that such an increase l. sure. This es-
innate wculd give Kansas an annual
average of between two and three
hundred miles. Bat in tina, average
he places North Carolina, Alabama,
Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Ar
kansas, louisiana and the Indian Ter
ritorv. That Kansas will at least double
that of either state named, there can
hardly be doubt. Of the states
named, the Indian Territory viii be
the only possible rival to Kansas in
the matter of railroad development,
and that territory cannot be counted
unless congress removes the Indians
and give il 4 territorial government.

The Topeka papers are full of the
doings of The Prohibition Convention.
There seem TO be very few politicians
among the delegates, Sunday schools
and churches being principally repre-
scented. DIR. +. s. McCabe delivered a
very conservative but very sound adj
dress. in which he conceded just what
the Prohibitionls;s should have con-
ceded from the first. The prohibition
question seems about clear of party
politics, and viii probably continue TO
rest upon its own merits unless the
present gathering by some radical
action forces il back.

Neal Dow has finally been con-

blunt the consciences of the pastors
