AN e ABROAD.
Natter In Engisnd a. Viewed by Geo. r.
Morgan--shaky Capitalists.

A LEADER reporter yesterday sought
out George r. Morgan. ESQ.,, who re-
turned on Saturday night from a trip to
England. Mr.. Morgan crossed the At
lantic with Hon. A. II. Swan, on the i'll
fated steamer Oregon, which subsequently,,
and on the return trip. oollided with
another steamer and went to the bottom.
MIR. Morgan. a. our readers are well
aware, is a close observer and a sagacious
business man, and freely impaired to the
reporter the information desired, a synop-
sis Of which is given below:
MIR. Morgan stated that while people
are complaining Of hard times in this
country and elsewhere. he had not found
it 80 in England. While over there he
had vIited many different points in the
United Kingdom, and everywhere he had
observed that the people looked smiling
and happy, and he thought that they had
not experienced very hard times there; at
least he saw nothing which would induce
him to come to such a conclusion. The
riots in London occurred while Mr.. Nor
gan was on his way over. but in regard to
them he sisted that they did not amount
to as much as was currently reported at
the time. The police system Of London is
too effective to allow an affair like the riot
in Trafalgar square to get beyond control.
When asked by the reporter whether
they would not down" Gladstone in the
present home rule and Irish land pur-
chase scheme, he replied that most as
suredly such will be the case. England.
in his Judgment, would rebel and rally un-
der arms before the masses of the people
would consent to adopt Gladstone's
schemes. P.rnell. in many respects, is
considered a great fraud. He was living
off the contributions hat had been made
by poor people in America in support OF
the land league. which was also another
fraud, and = very few were deriving the
benefit of the money contributed. Par
nell has now one of the finest mansions in
Ireland, built, as he thought, with this
money. England will never consent to
pay 100000 900 to buy up the Irish
lands for the present tenants.
Mr.. Swan has met with good success in
bis business across the Atlantic, and the
stockholders Of the Swan Land and Cattle
company are well satisfied with the pres
ent condition and future prospects of the
company.
In regard to the prospects Of further
investments by English capitalists in
American enterprises, Mr.. Morgan spoke
somewhat obviously. Certain things have
happened which have had tendency to
shake their faith very seriously Certain
companies, whose names Mr.. Morgan did
not and was not asked 10 mention, had
conducted themselves. or had been on
Quoted, very unwisely, and the results
have materially interiered with the fur
Their investment Of English capital in this
country. Then again, the strikes and
riots now in progress in various parts OF
the United States are having a very bad
effect in England.
Hon. A. II. Swan arrived in New York
yesterday and Mr.. Morgan observed as
the reporter withdrew that be would be in
Cheyenne in about a week.

IDENTIFY about 80 years of age and wears a
pair of elegant gold ~spectacles, has but
little TO say to those around him and is
very much of a student. He had with
him on Sunday some sort of a book or
pamphlet in Chinese hieroglyphics, which.
with his feet stuck up atan angle of forty
five degrees, he perused intently, except
when interrupted by some of his visitors
or attendants. He speaks English quite
%1uently, but had little or nothing to say
which would be Of interest to the read
ers Of The LEADER. Governor Warren
called to see him in his special car andhad
quite a long talk with him. as also did
Superintendent Deuel., Judge Whitehead
and others. He appeared to be in a bet
ter mood than might have been expected
and was very courteous and affable with
all whom he met. The train stopped
about half an hour, after which the jour
ney was resumed. Chin Ian Pin goes to
Washington as successor to Cheng Trao

On Friday evening of the past week
and while the western bound passenger
train was standing at the depot, many Of
the passengers came up town to take q
look at the sights. Three OF these feel
ing a little dispirited and thinking it
would be a good plan to take a little
spirits down to keep their spirits up,
walked into the sample room at H. Alt
man 4 Co. 5 and called for something to
drink. While they were there a party
who likes to talk a little Just for fun came
in with a rush and exclaimed to Charley
Blindt Call out the Magic City Gan
club and the militia, for there are 700
Arapahoe Indians down 10 the Grow
creek bottom aud they are going to make
an attack on the city"
The three passengers looked thunder
struck and greatly alarmed. and not no.
ticing that there were smiles on the faces
Of the two or three who were present,
they took their drinks as quickly as pos
sible, struck out for the train and were
not long in getting there, to the great
amusement of the few who were observing
what happened.

Rev. r. Z. Field, at the Presbyterian
church on Sunday evening, preached an
exceedingly interesting sermon from the
text, "Despise not the day of small
things" The point made was that how
ever great anything may become, or how
ever honorable and useful, there must
have been a beginning. and a grand and
fourishing educational institution, for ex-
ample, is now a power in the land Yet
the time was once when it was but a small
thing and of but small account. Incident
ally Mr.. Field referred TO the grumblers,
and commended that they were a drawback
and a hindrancs everywhere. The story
was told Of the two good old deacons who
died and went to heaven. One of the
two was In the habit Of taking the world
as it came and making the best of it.
while the other was always g~rumbling.
After they both got to heaven, as the
story goes, the one who was satisfied here
below met the grumbler and asked him
how he liked it The grumbler proved to
be a grumbler still, and said heaven was
not what it was cracked up to be" and
explained hat he got his robes wet while
rushing up through the clouds, and that
his halo did not fit The sermon was at
tentively listened to by a large congrega-
ton, and was one of the finest efforts that
has been listened to in Cheyenne for a
long time.

We have concluded at the expiration Of
our present copartnership, to change our
business from the mercantile to the land
and cattle business. With this object in
view, we will on Tuesday, April 20, place
our entire stock of dry goods, clothing,
boots, shoes, hats, millinery and every
thing contained in our stocks at Cheyenne
and Fort Fetterman on the market at job
bers' wholesale prices. for cash.
This is the largest closing out sale ever
made in the territory, and considering the
large stock and u well-known business
principles, is sufficient to the public that
there never was such an opportunity to
buy goods before. We invite the mer-
chants of the surrounding country to this
sale, as our stocks are now complete with
all the newest style goods. This being
the closing out apd end Of our mercantile
business, we request all knowing them
selves indebted to us to call and settle at
once. o. 4. CowHICK,

party Of Virginia "the white mans" party,
after allP Certain 1t is that the Republic
cans gained in the white districts even
last year, while these districts ever since
and including 1879 have been the Republi-
can strongholds; but the truth is that the
bourDons gained nowhere, and their re-
turns and claims are preposterous and
monstrous lmpostures that only indicate to
what straits they are driven to maintain
their usurpaton, and veil its iniquities.
The local option agitation into which the
bourbon legislature has suddenly plunged
the state by an ill.contrlved statute only
adds to the widespread dissatisfaction of
the people with Democratic ascendancy.
The present tangle into which the debt
settlement has been got is justly ascribed
to bourbon knavery, and there is n deep
seated and increasing conviction In the pop
ular mind that the rights and interests OF
the state and people cannot be longer
haZarded in bourbon hands, notwithstand-
ing the southern inclination to tolerate old
abuses and their authors as long as these
are tolerable. Long accustomed TO defer

class ever since the war, looking upon II as
comprising the chief sufferers, II the guilty
sufferers, by the results Of the war for Sc
cesslon; but while they were willing to
yield much TO the old arrogance and
pretensIon, they have found by bitter
and unvarylng experience that the ancient
spirit of tyranny nursed by slavery now
seeks its satisfaction and revenge by an alb
solute despotism in public affairs that can
be trusted in nothing, and which accepts
