It is one of the minor annoyances Of an
authors life, indeed, that the world at large
can never be made to recognize this plain
fact, but constantly insists on Identifying the
writer with his books or his articles. ID

likes and hat be chooses his themes because
he Is personally Interested in them. Some

JNo. e, CARROLL. Editor
WHAT Mr.. POTTER THOUGHT.

At this j~uncture it may be OF interest to
recall an Interview had with the late Vice
President Potter of the Union Pacific.
A LEADER reporter interviewed Mr.. Pot
ter in his private car in this city Aug. Q.
1887, and this is what he had to say re-
rarding the Cheyenne & Northern ex-
tension: The road will be extended.
There can be no doubt as TO the advisable
ity of that procedure. The only draw
hack to Immediately completing the
branch Is the lack of funds, | realize
that the people of Cheyenne and Douglas
are very anxious to establish railway
communication between the two cities,
and also recognize that a wealthy aud I'M
developed country lies northwest of Chey-
cnne only awaiting the arrival of a rail-
road to astonish the world with the in
credible richness of its When
the Cheyenne & Northern is completed to
the Platte river trains will be run rcgu-
larry to the north bank of that stream.
Beyond that point there lisa magnificent
field Tor extension"
This was the language of Mr.. Potter,
word Tor word, on the occasion referred TO.
Mr.. Potter had no doubt of what should
b. done in the premises.

HARRLS0N SOARTFIED.

1t has for sometime been an open secret
that Russell B. Harrison was one of the
most cordially despised men in Montana,
No reference had. however, been made
to the subject in newspapers until ycster-
day when the matter was brought TO pub
lie attention in a startling manner.
Richard +. NeRley. a Montana Repub-
lican OF thirty years standing, called at
the white house and delivered in per-
so a letter to the president which read
as follows: Permit me to inform you,
sir, that on March 4last Montana was re-
liably Republican and would be reliably
Republican still. Ifyour son Russell had
broken his neck or died n respectable
natural death soon after your Inauguration
as president 1t was the impertinent
medlling Of your son ir Montana politics
that assured the Democrats control of
our constitutional convention. 1t was his
bartering of the federal offices in Montana,
some of them for private gain, others for
private pidue, that will prevent. Repub-
leans sending a member Of the house of
representatives and two senators to Wash
ington next December.
If you had considered the appoint
ment of federal officers in Montana as n
great public trust devolyed upon you by
the constitution instead of comforting
them upon your son as a private perquis-
lite, to be disposed OF as he saw fit, Re-
publican prospects in Montana would not
now be so gloomy. One OF these Offices,
at least, your son disposed OF for a print
ing contract. He disposed of Offices of
Importance to personal iavorites, who en-
joy neither the respect nor confidence of
the people. Last November the Repub-
licans elected a delegate to congress by a
majority exceeding 5000. This change
OF feeling is to be attributed to your son
iE politics. We occasionally hear news
from the East that there is some expecta-
ton of RusselhB. Harrison being chosen
to represent Montana in the United
States senate. II you entertain such an
idea. MIR. President, please abandon it
and save yourself from disappointment.
We know your son too we'll in Mon
tana."
President Harrison's administration,
which started under such promising aus
pieces, threatens to end in a series of
broken promises, coupled with the most
~disreputable exhibitions of fayoritism
known since Grants administration,

The Lander Clipper says; The Chey-
enne people are using their best efforts to
have the Union Pacific extend the Chey-
enne & Northern, and it is but justice to
Cheyenne that it should be done. The
present terminus is in a canyon and a
wilderness and the road can be of but
little benefit to Cheyenne and is a burden
to the company, whereas if it were ex-
tended to Buffalo it would be a paying
road.

The Alien Contract Law.

The Portland longshoremen are much dis
turbed because larger number of men are
brought each winter from Montreal to Port
land, by bosses, to load the foreign steamers.
The Portland men claim that this is q viola
tion of the alien contract labor law although
they admit that they cannot prove that the
men were hired or contracted with in Mon
treal to come here, but they say that the la
borers themselves last year admitted that the
Grand Trunk furnished them free passes to
this city, and our longshoremen say that the
Grand Trunk wouldn't have done it If the
men we're in search of work. They also
claim that when Agent Lyon furnished his
labor statistics he ma1e out about 100 long
shoremen belonging in Portland who work
summers in Montreal, while they say only
10 or IL work there. Portland longshoremen
think that as they pay taxes. spend their
money and vote in Portland they ought to
have all the work that is done here.
