BRIsBIN's LETTER.

We give considerable space this
morning to a very readable letter from
our old friend General JAS. \. Brisbin,
and take pleasure in commencing ii To
the careful perusal of our patrons. 1t
Is seldom that our valued eorrespon-
dent-who is as everyone knows con-
tributor to many Of the leading jour
mails of the country-it Is seldom, we
say, that our correspondent drops into
the personal and confidential vein
that this letter is written in, which t.
"a community of which he was for
many years part, must commend it,
self. General Brisbin is a man of in-
tenseiy practical ideas, born of long
residence on the frontier where he has
had an opportunity to watch the rise,
ant perhaps the fall, of many towns
and cities, the growth of the CIPHER
meal prosperity of the locality that
called them into existence. He has
seen towns that bid fair To rival the
largest in the west sink into utter OBJ
scurity when the boom that they fat
tened on was exhausted, leaving them
nothing within themselves to build
upon. Others having the location or
natural resources have been able To
stand the strain of the sudden change
from ''hurrah days" to business prin-
ciples. Such he finds Miles City, but
he sees the menace Of dry rot even in
this go-ahead community unless We
shape the coming prosperity of the
northwest to our ends. Perhaps the
"Old Man" is right and we are wrong
in sitting quietly at home believing, or
affecting to believe, that everything
has got to come to Miles City.
The hint he gives for the organiza-
ton of u company, and the procuring
of a charter for road from here to
D.adwood to connect with the Chica-
20 d Northwestern Is good one and
should be acted upon. 1t costs next

such charter in the near future may
be inestimable, beside fixing the point
on the Yellowstone at Miles City. The
meeting Of two such railroads AS the
Northern Pacific and the Chicago 4
NorthN estern at Miles City would he
of inestimable benefit to the town In
numberless ways.
The Generals ideas of united west
are sound, and 1t needs but little fore
sight 10 prophesy that II united west
will soon be heard from i'm national
affairs. but there are more i'm ortant
things than politics for the west to in
terest themselves in now, and as for
statehood, We feel that Congress can
not deny admission to Dakota, and
will not admit her without Juggling in
Democratic 90 Montana, so we have
no cause to exert ourselves In the

to their ranch on the Big Dry few
days ago were unlucky enough to get
Off the road about an hour tfore dark
and being unable to find 1t again on
account Of the depth Of the snow, were
obliged to lay out all night. Among
the forlorn trio was young man who
has just come out from the east to
make a practical investigation of the
hardships of cow boys life, but he
gained this portion of his experience
before he was fully prepared to accept
IL, and he is reported to have said that
to lay out on the prairie grubbing sage
brush with his hands In order to keep
q miserable fire going, awoke lively
recollections in his breast of the COM
Portable bed upon which IL had been
his wont to pass the night at home.
1t is not often that thirst for exper-
fence is awarded SO readily, but In this
case 1t was hardly acceptable and the
boys would probably have suffered a
great deal had the night not been a
mild one for the season Of the year
After the night had slowly passed
away. and the daylight enabled them
TO obtain glimpse Of the surrounding
country, they found that they had
lain out all night whilst within five
miles Of the ranch which they were
bound for.

Secretary Manning's Sickness.

The real facts In the case are as follows:
The Secretary returned from the Cabinet
meeting late Tuesday afternoon. In go.
ing up to his room in the Treasury De-
partment he used the stairway, and not
the elevator. The two long flights tried
Mr.. Manning considerably. Being some
what faint, and having eaten no lunch,
he sent messenger out for Sandwich.
While the messenger was gone Mr.. Man
ming walked into Lis private wash-room,
closing the door after him. The messen-
ger on his return heard noise, and upon
going TO the wash room found the Secre-
tary trying to raise himself from the
floor. Il have turned my ankle" ex-
planned Mr.. Manning, in reply to the ex-
cited inquiries of the colored man; "help
me to my chair"
With the assistance of his private Sec
retary and messenger the Secretary was
placed in his chair, and remarked that he
felt better there. He then asked for the
sandwich, and ate some of it, but gradu-
ally appeared to get drowsy. To the
CONSERVATION of those in the room he
suddenly dropped his hands, breathed
stertorously, and was for some time un-
able to respond to vigorous attempts
made to arouse him. When he finally
recovered himself he asked to be taken
home, but strongly resisted the PROPOSE
ton made to send for doctor. In NOV
ing the Secretary from the Treasury De-
partment it was found that he could not
use his legs, and this was ascribed to the
supposed sprained ankle.
