AS STATED in the GAZErTE's Washington
correspondence of yesterdays date, iron
manufacturers in Belgium have made con-
tracts to deliver iron for bridges and rafters
in this country, twenty five per cent. cheaper
than similar material made by the iron
manufacturers ofthe North. 1t is understood
the contracts referred to have been made
with parties In the South. No wonder the
northern protected manufacturers can afford
to contribute Eoney enough to buy Pfeei-
Dental elections. and no wonder President
Harrison, Mr.. Speaker Reed, and the other
leaders Of the republican party, with the sup
port such money will procure, act upon
Senator Sherman's avowed doctrine that
anything is justi6able in law and morale
that will beat down the democratic party.

ACCORDING TO a paragraph In the
Washington correspondence Of yesterdays
GAzETTE, while Virginia did not gain
one cent, the national government lost over
one hundred thousand dollars In Virginia
bonds between the years 1865 and 1890, as
during that time Virginia bonds to that
amount, held by the government as security
for Indian trust money lent Virginia, mys-
teriously disappeared from the o. S. Treas
ury, and, at least up to date, did so without
leaving trace OF the direction it took. 1t
would seem that this is matter more de-
serving OF governmental investigation than
the Identification of the man who struck q
fellow workman at Aberdeen, Miss, for
throwing down Confederate flag.

Mrs. Myran Rrown and family, who
have been living in Nebraska for some
years, moved into John Webster's house
recently, in Elk creek valley, but will
probably stay but a few months as she
intends to move to Arkansas as soon as
the hot weather is over. Mr.. Brown has
been in Arkansas for several months.
Organizer adams went down the creek
last week and on his return on Friday
evening, met with the Grashull alliance.
They held an open meeting and a goodly
number Of farmers were present. The
farmers in Meade county, as well as
elsewhere, are getting wide awake and
already see that while they have been in

"the man that feeds ALL" has been ig-

The busy days OF spring are here, and
the farmers seem to he making the best
OF them, getting ready for the spring
rains and floods that have been prophe-
sled. We hardly think the farmers have
much faith in the flood prophesy, yet we
think they all have hopes that this year
may bring better crops for them in some
way. But who ever saw farmer dis,

cheer up then and start in anew, even il
the crops OF the year before have beer
poor and the market for them a great

Railroad Items.

It is reported that a force OF surveyors
in the employment OF the Chicago, Mil
waukee and st. Paul railroad reached
Chamberlain last week and will proceed
to establish permanent survey OF that
line and also select depot grounds along
the route to the Hills. The bill granting
them the right-of-way requires this to be
done before November 10th.
The Burlington and Missouri splurge
has weakened and itnowlooks as though
they would build no further than Custer
this season. Contractors who havebeen
waiting for work on that line have gone
to Hot Springs which will do away with
the demand for teams to work on the
extension from the Gap to that city.
The freight traffic on the Fremont,
Elkhorn and Missouri Valley railroad
has increased greatly since the work at
Piedmont began. Track laying will soon
begin at that point.
