Now, in conclusion, let me say that |
don't drink myself, and | condemn The
whiskey traffic as being the greatest evil
and curse on earth; and just how to get
rid of it is the puzzle. think the best
plan is to have our next members to the
legislature to repeal the law, as it now
is, and let the whole county have vote,
instead of the corporation of Ashevlllc;
and believe it will be put out of the
county. Our country people are indip-
nant over the fact that they have o
vote on license or no license in the
county.
l am sorry to say that some of our
country people 60 to Ashevlle, and not
being accustomed to drinking regularly,
one or two drinks gets them Oft their
balance. Then it is that the police
marches them up to headquarters to an
swer the charge, or rather to furnish the
city money to carry on public improve,
ments. And you see from the reports OF
arrests that there seems to be a rivalry
between the police as to who gets the
most of the uniortunates.

When Tennessee was called Harrison

its vote for Mckinley and Maine for
Blaine. Mckinley challenged the cor
rectness of OhiO's vote, and the vote was
called again, Mckinley alone voted for
Harrison. At the call of Tennessee's
vote the convention went wild over the
nomination of Harrison. Hats were
thrown into the air, flags, fans, and
yelling was prolonged. A long time
elapsed before orper could be restored.
Harrison has made a good president,

day morning at 9:3O and two mail
sacks and the treasure box ia ken.
H. r. Watson, of the Lewiston
Argus, and his mother were the only
passengers. The hold-up occurred
on the summit of Painted Robe Hill,
nine miles south of Lavina. The
robber shot one horse, when the
driver, "Blll Nagus," obeyed orders,
threw out the treasure box and sacks.
They did not modest the passengers,

and the last seen of the robbers they
were dragging the box and sacks
behind a horse in the brush.

A new chapter is soon to develop in
railroad history of this state. 1t is
now generally known that J. J. Hill
practically controls the National
Park branch from Livingston to
Cinnabar, which will soon pass into
his possession by limitation. 1t is
the intention of the Great Northern
road to extend its Neihart branch to
Castle, thence to Livingston, whence
Hill will be master of the National
Park business by way of the CHINA
bar line. Should the segregation
bill pass, this new system will be
pushed on into Cooke City. This
will put into operation one of the
most important lines in the railroad
fields of the northwest, as it will hold
forever the traffic of not only the
Neihart and Barker districts, but
that of Castle and eventually of
Cooke as we'll, besides controlling,
possibly for years to come, the en-
ormous business of the Park, so long
exclusively enjoyed by the Northern
Pacific. Coupon tickets will be sold
in the Great Northern offices in the
east to the Park, thus giving the
travelling public au opportunity to
Sc a new country, full of boundless
possibilities, by way of Grand Forks,
Fort Assinniboine, Great Falls, Nei-
hart, Castle and White Sulphur
Springs.
T. Moore, a desperate character,
wanted in Montana for murder, was

ing he would never be taken alive.

First Through Train on the Great Nor
thern From St. Paul Arrives
at Spokane.

The first Through Train over the
Great Northern from St. Paul to
Spokane arrived there last Saturday
night at II o'clock. 1t consisted of
an engine, baggage car and passenger
coach, and carried three passengers
through from St. Paul, and number
a short distance. Contractor Coyen-
dali, talking about the work on the
extension, says: "The grade will
be completed to the Columbia river
by June 2oth, and track will be to
that point by Aug. 10. We will
have the grade finished to the sum-
nit of the Cascades, on this side, by
Nov. | and as the work on the west
slope is we'll in hand | think it is
safe to assert that the track will be
connected through to the coast this
year. Unless the winter comes on
very early or the snowfall is very
deep, there will be no hitch in these
plans and if necessary the snow will
be shoveled away to lay track, but
that of course means slower work. -

New York, Saturday. Sune H. 1892
The tone of commercial reports
from all parts of the country indi-
Gates that business has to some ex-
tent improved. More favorable
weather has helped the retail and
wholesale trade in many quarters,
and has materially improved the
crop prospects at the West, while a
little improvement in the price of
cotton has operated as stimulus to
business at the south. There has
been no difficulty or disturbance in
the money market, and the volume
of currency in circulation has increas-
ed during the month of May about
s6,5OO,OOO, amounting to $780,
100000 June 1st Collections
throughout the country are on the
whole better than of late and fairly
satisfactory, and excepting the burst
ing of speculative corner at Chi
cago there has been no especial ex-
citement of any kind in business.
Speculation in stock during the
past week has been only fairly active,
in part because considerable selling
of securities on foreign account was
discovered or reported, and the
movement of gold to Europe has
been resumed. About a million has
been engaged for shipment >hus far,
Notwithstanding the fact that mer-
chandise experts have greatly in
creased for recent weeks, while in
imports of merchandise no considra-
bic increase appears. The treasury
has been reducing its balances dur
ing the past month, paying out more
money than it has taken in and in
some quarters attention is called to
the fact that it's cash balonce is lowe
er than at any other time since the
resumption of specie payments. But
the supply of money abroad is so
abundant and the demand for for
eign countries so moderate, that it
seems somewhat improbable that the
drain from this country will be large
at any time this season.

Great applause-Depew said he yielded
