THE BREWERY PROPOSITION.
1t VIII be Investigated by a Commit
tee of Citizens.

A. Schiller aud L. Gerliuger of Chi
eago last night submitted to the Board Of
Trade a proposition upon The acceptance
of which they would undertake to build a
brewery here. They proposed TO build a
brewery which would cost between $l25,-
900 and Sl50.0O0, manufacture 40. 900
kegs of beer annually and employ from
fifteen to thirty men at the start The
work would be commenced ninety
days after the contract was entered
into and the plan would be submitted to
the Board OF Trade Tor approval In ad-
drtion they would donate ten acres as a
bonus for the establishment of a soap fac
tory. They proposed to erect the build
ing on the northwest quarter Of section 3,
in the neiRborhood of the Organ ranch, in
consideration that the citizens purchased
from them 800 lots at the rate o! 1928
each, located in the same vicinity. A first
payment Of 25 per cent was to be made
when the basement aud first story of the
brewery was built aud a second payment
of so per cent when the roof was on the
building. The matter was discussed for
some time and a committee consisting OF
j. X. jeffrey. l.. r. B~resnahen, L. G..
jerks, L. Kabis and A. Idelman appoint
ed to investigate the matter and make a
report to the trustees of the Boa5d of
Trade.

Some Changes that May Possibly Come
About.

Rumors in regard to changes in the
management of the Union Pacific here are
as numerous as ever. The lai"st is that
Superintendent Mertsheimer will have
the position OF assistant superintendent Of
motive power with his oficy here IN Chey.
enne. He will occupy the clice in the
new building which Mr.. Middle o.; vas to
occupy.
Mr.. Middleton has sure enough re-
signed and will probably accept a position,
similar to the one he now holds, with the
Mexican Central.
Mr.. Dunlevy, the station agent here,
will probably In the shuttle get the posi-
ton Of chief clerk to Superintendent
Mertsheimcr.
The company is still unloading at the
yards material for the new store house
and its building will be carried on as fast
as possible.
The laying of steel for the new side
tracks is rapidly being pushed forward
and it looks as though the company in
tends to still further increase Cheyenne's
importance as a breaking up point for
freight.

According to the AUSTIN. Texas, Sxates-
man, shortly after Governor Hogg Of that
state met President Harrison at Palestine,
the latter received message from Hecre-
tary Proctor, informing him that Presi-
dent Diax, of Mexico, had expressed
desire to do honor to him and to the
United States by sending q guard Of the
Mexican army to take part In the parade,
and asking President Harrison's permits
sion for them to do SO, wearing their
uniforms and side arms.
Governor Hogg by some means learned
Of the receipt Of this message by the Presi-
dent, and raised the point that If anyone
it was he alone who was authorised TO
decide whether or not foreign soldiery, in
time of peace, might or might not enter
upon the sacred soil of the sovereign state
of Texas. And he emphatically, though
not discourteously, denied that the Presi-
dent had any authority in the premises.
Some discussion followed, with the ~
suit that the president concurrsd IN Gov
ernor Hogg's view, turned over 10 him the
application from the Mexican government,
which by the governor was formally
granted. In its import and probable effects
this may b regarded - one of the most
significant, ~ it was one Of the most felic
itous. incidents Of the presidents tour.
Considering its source, il should at once
reassure Democrats throughout the Union
on their time-honorcd contention that the
Republican party or its honored represen-
tatives have any covert designs against the
autonomy of the states" within the range
Of reasonable limitations. II amounts to
formal and an authoritative admission
by the head of the national government
that in time of peace he has no right to or
der or consent that foreign soldiers may
cross the borders of . state of the Union.
or at least not without the concurrence Of
the governor of such state.
But this only conforms with the views
of the most eminent and learned recent
Republican Justice Of the Supreme Court,
Justice Miller. who in IN address before
the alumni of Michigan University, in
1857. declared 1t settled that with the
exception Of the specific provisions In
amendments concerning the personal
rights of citizens, the late civil war had
involved no substantial change in the
relations OF the states to the general
government, ~ to their autonomy" and
their power to regulate their domestic
affairs.
Nevertheless. - IN authoritative declar.
alton or admission. without resort TO legal
procedure or prolonged controversy. the
incident cannot fail of most conciliatory
effect upon southerners Who are above
al things jealous Of the rights and the
dignity Of their respsctius states Evil
denees thus multiply that the Presidents
tour has been BEAUTIFULLY educational.
