A Very SuccessfuI Rnsiness.

The encouragement Of home industry is
something which everybody doesn't al
ways practice. When, however, the
character of the goods and the quality of
the workmanship will compare with the
very best obtainable elsewhere, there is
no possible excuse for anyone going away
from home to purchase goods. We have
in Cheyenne a cigar mandatory which
would be a credit to any town. Its pro-
prietor is Frank Boehm, who has built up
from a small beginning a thriving and
constantly extending business. He has
done this by the honesty of his goods
and the superior quality of his workman
ship. The article which he puts upon
the market is always exactly what he rep
resents it to be, and it is always worth
the full value that be charges for it. Mr..
Boehm has won success by deserving it,
and he deserves from the people of Chey-
enne the encouragement which their bust
ness would give him

The Old Sport of THE LEADER isn't
much of a tip hunter but rather fancies
Spider or Deronda in the cup race and
thinks that either may win. Neither
Endebar or Frederick, ifthe latter behaves
himself, will be distanced.
In the yearling stakes it is probable that
Pulsee wins with ease.
Wapsie Chief, who isn't considered
much of a race horse among the sports, is
the writer's favorite in the $50 trot, but
Grover &. may capture the purse for the
Denver boys.
Magnet should be victorious in the five
handed game for the 2:33 stakes, but
neither Biddle nor Louette should be
overlooked.
At all events it will be a great day at
the fair grounds.

A FRIEND OF THE VET.
The I7rh's Snam Battle and a Tribute
10 Gen. Miner,

Of the sham battle which was fought in
the presence of 25, 900 people at Kearney,
Neb.. last week, the Journal, of that
place says:
The battle was not only well planned
but every detail was carried out with mil
itary precision and with grand effect. The
old veterans could scarcely maintain their
equilibrium when the roll of ~musketry
was at its height, but became thoroughly
lmbued with the occasion as their minds
reverted back to those days when it was
not blank cartridges but mimic balls that
sped on their errand of death and de-
struction. To the ladies and young peo-
pie it was "a grand and exciting scene and
gave them a faint idea of the realities in
which their fathers, brothers and sweet
hearts participated during those trying
days of 81 and IS.
Great credit is due to Gen. Wheaton,
not only for valuable aid upon this occa-
sion at all times and on all occasions
throughout the reunion.
Gen. Miner and Col. Fletcher we're the
commanders of the opposing armies in the
battle, and the precision and accuracy
with which they handled their respective
commands deserved as they received the
concentrations OF the immense audience
of spectators. Gen. Miner has been an
earnest and intelligent friend of the vet
Grams 10 all the exercises Of this camp,
and he will carry back with him to Fort
Russell the kin1cst feelings of a multitude
of people. Indeed, to name all the
friends of the Grand Army among the
officers of the regular service would re
quire a republication of the regiment Low
in camp at Kearney. Lieut.. Durfee of
the 18th infantry has acted as chief of
artillery on Gen. Morrow's staff, and we
express the general sentiments when we
say that the Lieutenant has been an intel
lGent, efficient and Jealous officer in the
performance of any duty assigned him.

MUCH DIST URBED.

s. F. Call: The Mugwumps and
their Democratic allies are much
disturbed over the silence Of Mr..
Blaine. They would know better
what to do if Mr.. Blaine would tell
them what he proposes to do. They
forget that Mr.. Blaine has already
declared that he does not propose to
do anything Such was his latest
declaration. which will doubtless be
his last. If anything at all IS done in
the way Of nominating Mr.. Blaine at
Chicago it win be done by the people.
Mr.. Blaine cannot control the action
of the masses. II they prefer him to
any other candidate they will say SO
In Convention. While it is doubtful
If Mr. Blaine wants the nomination
under any circumstances, it is certain
that he does not want to except as a
free offering from the convention, act
ing IN its capacity as spokesman for
the people. 1t is idle, therefore, to ask
Mr.. Blaine to declare his intentions.
The Republican voters are declaring
theirs in reasonably positive terms,
and until their choice has been stated
there is nothing for Mr.. Blame to say.
The admission is general that Mr.
Blaine might have secured the nomi.
nation If he had wanted nomination
obtained by political management
This fact should be conclusive that he
does not want the nomination unless
1t comes as the spontaneous act OF the
voters Of his party.

THE HoatAx PRoRLEls.

Borax being natural product that
is only used and required for few
specific purposes. there is no very
great demand for il, and, in fact, more

demand, (Which II now does owing to
the duty on it). If the duty he re-

the borsg producing works Of this
State will be abandoned? California
also has immense borax deposits and
the output from this State is the only
direct competition tina. California has
to work against. 1t is argued by some
frce-trade journals that the discardlng
of the duty would not materially effect
the producers of this country, because
the largest works employ Cinnamon
to obtain it who work for low wages,
this may be so. at least TO a great ex-
tent, hut the wages they receive, may
be considered low here, but they
would be regarded as very high in
Europe, and from the time the borax

countries, and if it can be produced
cheaper elsewhere, If the duty is re.

SENATOR STEWART.

The Senator from this State is con-
stantly and enthusiastically working
for the interests of Nevada and for the
welfare of the people. He is doing
lisn'most to have silver quoted at
Just what It il worth, and never tires in
bringing up the question, knowing
that il must be received at Its true
value In order that Nevada may work
her mines profiiably. After spending
\ great deal Of iip,e and hard labor on
the silver question, he is now working
for appropriations that will be Of
almost equal value 10 the people of the
State. He is bringing the views of
needed irrigation facilities favorably
before the Representatives, earnestly
endeavoring to form means by which
the vast deserts Of this State my he
advantageously opened to settlers and
admitted to cultivation. He has asked
that surveys be made to find places
suitable for building reservoirs for
storing water in quantities sufficient
to irrigate these arid plains and to
learn what amount of money will be
required to build them. He is persist
emily showing the advantages to be
gained by the storing OF water, and
now entertains hopes of being sue
ceseful in having the matter properly
attended to. he is leaving nothing
undone that will, in any possible man
ner, he of value to Nevada or the PEG
pie, and has a voice in all questions.
He works for the passage of bills,
suggests amendments, has acts repealed
laws preserved, and in fact, works in
every way for the benefit ard welfare
of the State which he represents. He
is undoubtedly the right man in the
right place, and the people may rest
assured that Nevada will be admiringly
represented and often heard from at
the National Convention. His speeches
are not wasted on the cir, byt every
word counts and produces an effect.
