malady is more obstinate in its maturity

THE ANIMAL ENCAMPHENT.

Salt Lake City lost the annual army en-
campment last year because it did not
move in time. Would it not be a good
move to see what inducements can be of.
tered. and send a petition for the encamp-
nent TO the secretary of war and Gen.
Brooke. who commands the department
of the Platte?
What the Salt Lake Tribune says in
the foregoing paragraph concerning Salt
Lakes bad luck is equally true Of Chey,
enne with the added difference that Chey.
enne had the advantages Of location and
climate in its favor.
It is safe to say hat alter the experience
OF last year none OF the department troops
will be very anxious to make another en-
campment in Nebraska. The heat, the
dust and the high prices Of provisions
completely chilled any enthusiasm which
the troops might hav5 felt in their annual
encampment.
This subject OF encimpment should be
taken up at once by the board of trade.
Cheyenne offers facilities possessed no
where else. It is readily accessible from
all points Of the department. The sum
mer weather is so delicious hat it gives
all the pleasures without any OF the
drawbacks which usually appertain to en-
campments. The ground is hard and free
from distractions, hui offering the great
est freedom for military movements The
encampment would be held Just far
enough away from the city so as not to
prove a drawback, while at the same time
it would be within easy enough distance
to take advantage of a large supply point.
Cheyenne is certainly entitled to the
encampment this year, and no stone
should be left unturned to secure it, To
accomplish thus object, however, work
must be briskly commenced at once.

The true purpose of a medical school

as young lawyers may safely be per,
United to acquire a good deal of their

The second that Congress pass
laws to prevent the dealing in futures
on agricultural and mechanical pro-
auctions.
The third demands the free and
Unlimited coinage of silver.
The fourth demands the passage
of laws forbidding the alien owner
ship of land and the recovery for
actual settlement of all lands now
held by aliens and foreign syndicates,
and all lands held by railroads except
what is actually used by them.
Fifth, that the heavy tariff tax on
necessaries of life be removed, and
further demand just and equitable

Referring to the defeat last Thurs
day, in the South Carolina Legisla.
ture, of Gen. Wade Hampton for re
election to be Senator of the United
States, by John L. M. Irby, the New
Orleans Picayune says:
+" It is plain enough that there is
growing up all through the South q
disposition to put aside all the men
and all the memories of the South in
the civil war. This movement is
confined, of course, to young men,
active, ambitious and full of energy.
They have become inpatient of the
favor that has long been shown the
war veterans. It has repressed them
and they are revolving.
cit is likely to be the fate of the
Southern soldiers to be the subjects
of disfavor and even opposition on
the part of their own people. It is
a hard fate, but the heroes of the
tremendous conflict through which
they passed will doubtless be equal
to it. In few more years they will
all be dead and out of the way of
their ambitious descendants. Their
place in history has been declared by
the impartial critics in Europe, who
had no other interest but to study
and learn the truth. Neither envy
nor detraction can take away the
fame and the glory of the South in
the civil war;"

General Cadmus M. Wilcox died
recently at Washington, d. c., from
injuries received by an accident. He
was on his way to his room and the
lights in the vicinity being very de-
fective, he stumbled and fell where
excavations had been made for the
extension of the lexington railroad,
his head striking on the sharp edge
of one of the open trenches. His
groans attracted the attention of a
gentleman who assited Gen. Wilcox
to his feet.
Gen. Wilcox was a gallant Coded
crate soldier. He commanded a
Brigade in Gen. Longtreet's corps at
Bull Run, Fredericksburg, Chancel-
lOrsviIle and Gettysburg, and Diyis-
ion under Gen. A. P. Hill, which re-
sisted the repeated assaults Of Gen.
HanCoCk's troops at the battle Of the
Wilderness.
