Congress will probably adjourn
by July 1. This has been the first
session for the past quarter Of a
century where the Lower House
and President were both Demo
cratic, and it was expected that
much valuable legislation would
emlnate from the House, bat the
country has been sadly disappolnt-
ed.
What has Congress done for tie
good of the country ? Really moth
ing. The laws passed have mainly
been of a private and unimporiant
character, and with the exception
of passing the appropriation bills,
the closing of the session will he as
barren Of results as was the first
half of it. Weeks we're consumed
in adopting the new rules. The
taria question has and is still re-
eeiying the attention Of the advo-
Gates Of Free Trade, and it will oc-
casionally loom mp until the adj
journmcnt.
The repeal Of the internal re-
venue laws, which was demanded
by the resolution Of the National
Democratic Platform, is as dead rs
sinking herring.
The Blair Educational bill. which
the PEOPLE demand, has been
throttled, strangled and killed by
n Democratic Congress.
$500, 100000 left in the Treasury
has virtually melted away under
the magic touch Of Democratic
economy, the same as did the half
million of dollars left III our State
treasury under Bourbon manage
ment which IS the same, only there
is more money in the L. ). treas
ury and more men to squander it,.
The party is dissatisfied with the
Presidents policy and the Presi-
dent is dissatisfied with the lead
ers. There is inharmony in all the
| northumberland it permeatcs the
ranks of the party-where har-
mOny should exist.
There is an important election
coming off this fall. The members
of the next Congress have to be
elected, and what kind Of n record
has the Democratic party made
upon which to 90 before the pco-
ple and ask for an Endorsement Of
its acts.
The strongest, most telling argu-
ment that the Republicans can use
against the Democrats will be to
hold up their acts of omission and
commission to the gaze of the peo-
! ple.-ProDcssicc Agc

Gen. Logan.

1t is customary for the Demo
cratic press Of the country, and
especially of the South, to Willy
every prominent Republican, and
indulge in the grOssest language
to express the bitter prejudice
entertained against anyone who
does not wear the Bourbon collar.
1t is exceptionally so whenever the
name of Gen. Logan is mentioned.
As a specimen we have the follow
ing from the Richmond Nfatc of
the I'D;
"Black Jack Logan, lllinOis's

lished n volume Of idiotic idiOsin-
cracies to which he gave the APP

Democrat, a number of years ago,
his whole career has been a great
conspiracy
Gen. Logan is one Of the first
men Of the Nation and represents in
the l.. S. Senate the Empire state
of the Northwest. He was the
most prominent and distinguished
of the volunteer soldiers Of the
Nation. lie was the candidate OF
the Republican party, representing
the wealth and intelligence OF a
great State of the country, for Vice
President, and is favOrably men

party for President IN 1855. lie is

bic Of approaching this, and finds
its expression in the language We
have quoted. Can the intelligent

thets and language as we have
quoted from our contemporary? Car

tains an article in which 1t shows
in a scathing manner the difference
in the treatment which Gov. Lee
re seived upon his recent visit to
Ohio. and the treatment Gov.
Foraker received wnen he visited

all the courtesies and attentions
which are due to the Governor OF
the grand old state Of Virginia.
We have yet to hear OF a single
paper or person who published or
uttered a single word Of abuse or
even Of unfriendly criticism Of
Gov. Lee. Yet all remember how
some of our papers and speakers
heaped abuse upon the head OF
Gov. Foraker last Fall when he

What is known as the alien land
bin last week passed the senate
without dissenting vote. This
bill prohibits the acquisition of
lands in any of the territories OF
the United States by foreigners
who have not duly declared their
intention to become citizens. 1t
is evident that those in authority
are becoming alive to the danger
of permitting such a considerable
proportion of our territory to be
owned bv aliens. 1t would have
been much to our advantage if
they had been brought TO a realiza-
tion Of this fact earlier. 1t requires
M GREAT amount Of wisdom TO
perceiye that man whose sym
pathies are all with another govern
ment, who has no interest in this
country save a pecuniary one,
oppht not be allowed to come into
nossession of vast stretches of
territory which would otherwise
become the home Of citizens i'll full
accord with all the distinctive
features of our government. These
large property interests give the
holders an influence in the rs
Of the country, and this ir renee
is not likely to be exerted a way
which will rebound to the good Of
our institutions. Many persons
vould lie surprised to hear how
mnch of the land Of the United

AN ENTIRE FAMILY DROWNED.


From private sources comes the intelli
gence of the drowning of an entire family
in the swollen waters of a mountain tribu-
tary of the Clark fork of the Yellow
stone near the Wyoming line, about the
last of May.
1t appears that lac last summer, a fam
lily named Armstrong, Missouri emicrants,
came up the valley of the Clarks' fork
from the Northern Pacific, in search of a
new home. Passing through the magnifi-
cent lands of the great Grow reservation,
they were not satisfied with the poefe.
lands lying between the Indian reservation
line and the canyon OF Clarks' fork. Ac-
cordingly they followed up one of the
Snow fed tributaries of the Clarks' fork.
Some ten miles up this stream they
found fine meadows and fertile grain
lands. and recognized the new home they
sought. Pitching their tents they at once
began the erection of buildings and the
fencing of lands. By the time the SHOWS

the ERRrNG ONE.
A Fathers Search and a Daughters
Reclamation.
[BY THE Curious OBSERVER.


by II CURIOUS OBSERVER.
The evening before last the Curious
Observer noticed a roughly dressed but
intelligent looking man step from the
Denver train to the Cheyenne depot plat
form. He was evidently troubled deeply,
and his anxious eyes betokened an eager
search for some one. Passing hastily but
~watchfully through the crowd, he entered
the Pacific hotel. CHANGING quickly about
he turned to leave the hotel. As he
stepped from the entrance a light broke
over his care marked countenance, and
springing hastily forward with a smoth-
cred exclamation of delight he seized the
hand of a girl Of 20 who was passing along
the platform. The girl turned upon him
a startled look of recognition, and taking
his arm hastily the couple went up into
the city.
Twelve years ago a well known foreman
Of a Colorado cattle ranch met and mar
ried the widow of a soldier who had fallen
in one Of the many Indian conflicts of the
frontier. The soldier had lett a child, a
girl of s years, at the time of the second
marriage, and her new father soon loved
her as his own. No children blessed the
second union, and the affection of the
married couple was concentrated upon the
child Of the first marriage. For her sake
the lifelong range man abandoned the
prairie and settled in Denver that the girl
might have all possible social and educa-
tional advantages. Endowed with a
piquant beauty, and a bright mind, she
bid fair to repay the proud parents their
care and trouble.
But the. tempter came, and the girl
yielded. She disappeared from her home,
and for the last four years all the time the
devoted foster father could spare from the
bread winning has been devoted to the
search for the erring but still loved wan.

llgence that tie girl was in Cheyenne,
sunk in the depths of moral degradation.

was to inform him where his daughter
was to be found. The friend was una

business from the mercantile to the land
and cattle business. With this object in
view, we will on Tuesday, April 90, place
our entire stock of dry goods, clothing
boots, shoes, hats, millinery and every
thing contained in our stocks at Cheyenne
and Fort Felterman 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 our 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 and end of our mercantile
business, we request all knowing them
selves indebted to us to call and settle at
