In North Carolina the third party expects, it
Is said, to go bodily into the democratic con-
vention, take possession, ratify the St. Louis
platform and eject delegates to Chicago with
Instructions to demand the adoption of third
party principles, falling to obtain which these
delegates are to withdraw and go to the Omaha
convention Of the peoples party. This is a
very extensive and extraordinary program. to
which leading democrats not enamored of sub
treasury ideas are naturally opposed. The
republicans in the Old North State are likewise
splitting up. The latter have some advantage,
however, in the situation.

The anarchists Of Spain are as bad lot in
fntention. at least, as Richard Crookpack. for
'ssaiis he killed two royal babes who were in his
way to the throne of England they are con-
sprnng to destroy the little fellow on the Span
isn throne along with the throne Itself. The
destruction of the throne would not matter if
there were republican party in Spain strong
enough to suppress anarchy after it had ac-
eompiished that task- The assassination of
the infaat king would under existing circum-
Stances be empty brutality.

Considerable interest is manifested in the
proposed naval review in connection with the
Columbian expoAtion- In view Of the eco
nomic tendencies for political purposes Of the
House Of Representatives the idea Of separate
appropriation has been pretty well abandoned
The plan of the friends Of the project is to
amend the naval appropriation bill by adding
an item Of S3e0. 900 TO pay the expenses neces-
sary 70 be incurred. 1t would seem that a mat
ter Of this sort required no urging. So obvious
il the necessity for this republic to receive the
representatives of the visiting powers In be-
coming manner ard to make the most impress
sive display possible in any celebration Of the
discovery of America that it would appear
superfuous to say q word in favor OF the
amendment The people Of this country DO
not begrudge any lawful and necessary expen-
diture Of money TO contribute TO the success of
this important commemcration-this great adj
vertisemen. TO humanity OF the benefits &C
crling to it from the deed of Columbus. The
occasion will be signalized to our national adj
vantage in many ways. Il will tell of our recent
naval progress. 1t will make good ou- claim to
act as host and master of ceremonies for all
America when the world comes TO see what has
been doing on these shores since Columbus
brought them under the eye of the old world.

EDIToR SrAR:-Having a few leisure
moments poacl,ed from my other camp
duties l will employ them in scribbling
a few jottings to you. Well, u trip
so far has been almost without Incl
dent. Nobody has got alkalied, snake
bitten or sun struck since our advent
upon the plains. The health of the
entire party has been excellent, and
the trip up to our nearest point which
is 81 miles from Sheridan, which we
consider as half our journey to the
Park, completed.
The last 25 miles has changed the
appearance of the face of the country
wonderfully, vegetation has assumed
a more animated and verdant nature.
water is becoming free from its alkali
proclivities and fish are appearing in
the streams. But really it does not
appear like travelling in the wilderness.
as every day and night we have been
in sight of the trains and hear the
shrek of the IRON horse at the mid
night hour. We have passed many
streams that figure very conspicuosly
on IL maps, but l tell you when you
visit them it is vastly different: they
look more like a dilapidated irrigating
ditch which has got out of repairs and
seen no water for years. In the Belle
Fourche if we had watered our stock
there would have been no water for
the railway station, one-half mile dis
tan:. Powder river was a little better
1,,t o,,,e,,l ,;1a,. Tho Epnc{ c%,oo, ~, ,,,o
have seen as yet was Clear creek,
where we nooned and caught fish for
dinner. This stream derives its source
from the Big Horn. The b. e. NJ. has
its track laid to Powder river and con-
struction trains running thereto. The
last station to which passenger trains
run is about 20 miles back, from which
stages run to Sheridan and Buffalo.
There will be two lines run from juno
ton CITY, (Which has fifteen bonses,
eight of them saloons,) one to Buffalo,
about forty miles, and to Sheridan
about thirty-tive miles. 1t is now
being graded; the line is alive with
men and teams. There are more
hoboes in this region than in the ball
ance of the United States. / believe.
The nights are cold enough for over
coats and gloves. We have a fine view
| OF the mountains this morning. The
snow-capped peak of Cloud mountain
gl,stens in the bright sunlight. We
are now where grass and water are
plenty-cool and sparkling water.
The valleys along Lone Tree, Prairie
Dog and Goose creek are beautiful and
pretty much fenced in. Game has
been very scarce, but one antelope seen
on the whole route.
AS I finish these notes we are
camped for dinner almost under the
shadow of the Big Horn mountain.
There we can see the cold eternal snow,
but are painting for breath beneath the
+, shade of a tent-the sun hot enough to
boil eggs This will he my last until
you receive a few notes from the
National Park. John Shortel, our eff
icient and g%entlemanly caterer. has

1t is difficult for one to conceive the
amount Of good that two railroads are
to a %place-or but one for that mat
ter. We often hear people complain
ing about railroads. and comparing the
present time, with two roads, with sew
eral years ago, when there were none.
They cause themselves to really believe
that times were then better. but while
they Individually might have made
more money in those days, we do not
believe they will question the assertion
the population. and business III pro-
portion, than there would have been
had the railroad not built in here.
These railroad companies are doing
more to advertise the Black Hills, and
particularly Hot Springs, than all
other agencies combined. 1t would
cost Hot Springs several thousand dol
lars a yeal to advertise the place as
we'll as the railroads do it. The Elk
horn road is now sending good-sizsd
colored posters all along its system
and connecting lines advertising its
harvest excursions, which will occur
Aug. 30 and Sept. %. to points any
where on its line. at one fare for
round trip, and these same posters
state the advantages and opportunities
offered for investment. They state
that the Black Hills is the richest
mining camp in the world. The Hot
Springs cure rheumatism Such
lines going broadcast over the country.
besides the extended ~write-ups that
they furnish can not fail to be of great
benefit to us. 1t keeps the name of
Hot Springs constantly before the
people. But there is one thing WI be-
liev- the railroad companies should do,
and that is to give cheaper all-year-
round rates. Their special excursion
rates are low AS could he asked for,
but the same rate should be maintained
the year round. People who visit
health or pleasure resorts usually go
to the place that can be reached the
cheapest. and so long as people can so
from Chicago and other points in that
section, to Hot Springs. Ark, cheaper
than they IAN come here, they will do
so. The local rates along these roads
are also far too high. With cheaper
rates we have no doubt but that the
railroad companies would make more
money out of their passenger traffic to
this point. The patronage could easily
be more than doubled in this way.

EDITOR srAE:-According to promise
| send you. at the first opportunity
given me. a few jottings as l pass
along on my travels. There is but
little Of interest to a traveller passing
through this desert waste, although 1t
has not been quite so bad as expected
or reported. Certainly there is much
to consider before You could give a
fair description of the region we
passed through, although to the tran
sient observer, it looks very desolate
and unprepossessing. But. neverthe-
less, it has many valuable advantages
and attractions to the keen enterprise
ing man. We passed many beautiful
and romantic spots, and contrary to
our expectations, water and feed in
abundance up to the present writing.
Our first camping place was on Brad
| ley's flat, near MIR. Dunkie's ranch,
with plenty of good water and grass.
On the night Of the 10Th we camped at
Pass creek. and on the both we
bivonaced at the beautiful little stream
of Beaver creek, situated upon the
S A X ranch, a handsome farm of per-
haps Il thousand acres: this is one of
the best ranches have seen in South
Dakota. The next morning. the 21st, we
started enroute for Newcastle: the
country and topography here begins
to change and visible signs of the
horrid gumbo appears with all Its con-
comitants, such as vicious flies and all
kali water. We arrived at New.
castle about 8 o'clock, took in some
more supplies needed, and fresh water.
and then faced the terra incognita of
Wyoming. The heat during the first
four days was very oppressive to some
of us at all events. but during inter-
walls cool breezes would fan us back to
life and cheerfulness again. Our next
stopping place was at Skull creek,
