The dollars Of debt owed by the
people are numbered by thirty-five
billions; a major part Of which are
held in Europe. We cannot work
out. We must pay out, but we
cannot pay cut unless all the idle
are given remunerative wages.
This cannot and will not be done
until money is made SO plentiful
that it will not pay to loan. Out

invested in bonds and other inter-

laborers will command wages;
wages will pay debts, and with

BRADsrRKEr's report for 1881
shows that ninety per cent. Of the
failures was among FIRMS having
less than $4,000 capital. After al

that it is becoming more and more

The New York legislature is
looking to the suppression of exces-
sive interest, or usury. 1t is said
there are reported cases in which as
high as ten per cent. a month is
charged for money. If that be
true, it is high time something were
done to defeat the interest sharks.
Cincinnati Gazette.
The effective way to suppress
excessive interest, or usury, is to
outlaw interest. Another way is to
give the people enough money to
do business on a cash basis, and
then interest, which is only an eu-
phonious name for usury, will not
eat up the wealth of the land.

MASS MEETING TONIGHT
Every Taxpayer Urged to be Pres
emit at the Opera House
To Consider the Question of Do
mating Some City Land
And Thus Make Up the Necessary
Bonus for the SmeIter.

The citizens executive committee was
in session all day Yesterday and the mem
bers worked like Trojsns. They took up
and considered the question of the
amount still to be raised and set about
securing it through the sub committee.
The amount on hand was somewhat in-
creased by further donations, some of
which were new and some additional to
what various individuals had already
given. But after everything had been
done 1t Was found hat the bonus would
still be short and the question of how to
meet this shortage came up for considera-
ton. A donation from the city was the
natural result of the discussion.
Mr.. Blanchard was shown some land
beyond the boulevard and a certain price
named upon which he agreed to take it
provided the transfer was made. The
matter was then practically settled so far
as MIR. Blanchard was concerned.
A meeting af the committee and Mr..
Blanchard was held last evening in the
parlor OF Kent's bank. There the question
oftransferripg the property was considered
and in a general way the necessary bonds.
Articles of incorporation of two companies
will probably be filed today by Mr..
Blanchard-oue an investment company
and the other the Cheyenne Smelling aud
Reduction company, the latter with a
capital stock of probably 50. 900, 900.
When this has been done then the deed
will be made out to the corporation which
will be designated by Mr.. Blanchard.
They will be placed in escrow with T. A.
Kent until the commencement of work on
the smelter here authorizes the transfer to
Mr.. Blanchard.
Probably tomorrow morning Mr.. Blan-
chard. E. G. Bartlett and A. I. Seymour
will leave for Casper to look over their
properties there. Mr.. Blanchard will in
to consult with the syndicate back of him
and at the earliest possible moment place
the ORDER probably with Chicago firms,
for the necessary machinery and iron and
steel used III construction: The stone and
brick contracts will be let to local con-
tractors and such material probably pur-
chased here.
1t was decided to call a mass meeting
of the taxpayers Of Cheyenne at the
opera house this evening tor the purpose
of securing from them a request for the
transfer OF eighty acres of city land to
complete tho bonus to the smelter pro.
iect- Every taxpayer is urged to attend.

La Grippe.

The tendency of this disease toward
pneumonia is what makes it dangerous.
La Grippe requires precisely the same
treatment as a severe cold. Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy is famous for its
cure of severe colds. This remedy
etfcc.ually counteracts the tendency OF
the disease to result in pneumonia, pro-
vided the proper care be taken to avoid
exposure when recovering from the
attack. Careful inquiry among the many
thousands who have used this remedy dur
ing the cpidemics of the past two years
has failed to discover a single case that
has not recovered or that has resulted in
pneumonia. Fifty cent and 81 bottles for
sale by druggists.

RENDERED HIS RESIGNATION.
BY PHYSICIANS Orders Rev. DR.. Raj
ter lust Take a Years Absence.

At a meeting of the vestry of st.
Marks church held last evening Rev.
DR.. Geo. G. Raiter presented his resigna-
ton, to take effec; during Easter week,
the latter end of April. This event was
altogether unexpected and naturally Gre
ated a good deal of a sensation until an
explanation was made
DIR. Rafter explained that he was led to
this course by the advice of his physician
who told him that it was absolutely neces-
sary TO spend at least a year at or near
the sea coast. He has not been lately IN
good health and has just recovered from
a very severe illness. His physician
therefore advised him to spend at least a
year in another climate and 1t was for
this reason and no other that he felt con-
strained to tender his resignation.
After a discussion of the matter the
vestry decided to not accept the res
ignation but to defer action upon it
until its meeting in March. The dis
position manifested was to make some ar
rangement whereby DR.. Rafter would be
given a years leave OF absence, returning
at the end of that time in completely re-
stored health to resume his pastoral la
bors here.
DR.. Rsfter arrived hero in October
1882 and has ever since been pastor of
st. Marks church. During his pastorate
the present ediice has been built and but
a very small debt now hangs over it.
There IS not a man in this community
whose loss would be so deeply or generally
felt as DR.. Rafter's. While a strict
churchmau his broad human ~svmpathies
have carried him into all walk of life and
among all classes of people. He is uni
versally respected aud reyered-a man
of vigorous views yet of infinite tact. who
has warmly attached the people to him
both as a man and a pastor.
Cheyenne cannot afford to lose DIR.
Rafter and the vestry will not only voice
the sentiment of st. Marks congregation
but the people with and without church
affiliations by 81 arranging it that his
absence by physicians orders will only be
a prolonged vacation, terminating a year
hence in his return to his present scene of
labor to receive the royal welcome Of his
Pensioners and the people of Cheyenne
without regard to creed.

Bloody Rattle with Outlaws


PARIS. Tex Feb. 3. -From parties
who arrived here tonight news was re-
ceived of a desperate battle in Bruner
Town, in the Creek Nation last Friday.
between Deputy Marshals Dan Dickerson,
Mccall. Force and Colbert, and members
of the Gordon gang who are wanted here
for various offenses. The officers had
pursued the gang through the Choctaw
nation, across the Canadian river into the
negro settlement known as Bruuer Town.
After crossing the river a detachment was
sent up the river to a point where it was
expected the outlaws would appear.
Dickerson, Mccall. Force and Colbert
surrounded them at the house of Caesar
Bruner. The negroes opened fire on the
officers from the cover of the houses. See
ing that they hadthem at a disadvantage,
Tasan Gordon and one of the Burners
charged on them with revolvers in
hand. As they came in close
range they were shot down with Win
chesters. This made the outlaws furious,
and the officers seeing they we're out,
matched and with an attack from the rear
by reinforcements they withdrew. In
the fight Deputy Mccall received a flesh

JOHNSON COUNTY REACHED.
The Burlington Rapidly Pushing Its
Newest Extension.

Buffalo Echo.l
With the opening of spring forty miles
more of finished grading will be added to
the Wyoming line of the Burlington &
Missouri River railroad. Twenty outfits
of a hundred men each are working this
way from Gillette, and the nearest gang
is only fifteen miles beyond Powder river
and sIxty-ive miles from Buffalo,
By the first of June, if the best in
formation at hand is correct. Burlington
trains will run into a depot at Powder
River. and eight hours will be the schedule
time of the stage running between Buffalo
and the railroad. This is pretty good
news in itself. but it isn't all. There are
1000 graders at work just across and
within the borders of johnson county and
they necessitate the employment of
horses. The graders are consuming
enormous quantities of vegetables and
beef, and the horses make away with
prodigious supplies of oats and hay.
This army is marching toward us and
even now is beginning to make inroads
upon our products, of which w are
fortunately supplied with a goodly surplus.
Beginning with the LIST of June at the
outside. and very likely before that time,
every pound of vegetables, oats and flour,
and every ton of hay in store between
Powder river and the Big Horn Jul
tains will find a ready market. The
graders, we are informed. will not stop at
Powder river, but will keep right on the
survey up Clear creek.

False report Set at Rest.

Some time ago in the midst Of a very
acrimonious newspaper war the Lusk
Herald was led into stating hat NJ. G.
Barrow Of the Douglas Budget had been
convicted of thievery and only escaped.
through the merest technicality, from
being sent to the penitentiary. A libel
suit was begun. but this will probably be
withdrawn as the Herald has discovered
upon investigation that its charge was
based upon malicious misinformation and
the paper has just published a full and
complete apology for the same.
Barrow is not an angel by a long shot
and some of his acquaintance have
doubted that he stands any show of ever
becoming one, but the charge that he
robbed a mail pouch in 1879. which has
been banded about more or less for sew
eral years past. is maliciously incorrect
and THE LEADER is glad that the Herald
had the manliness to come forward and
say so in a manner which cannot be mis-
understood.
