cry; and find an utterance at the grave.
A dissolute man or an impudent courte-
zan have tender sympathies, and both
have expressed them at the grave, for
no class of people have greater horror
of death, or are more superstitious rs to
eternity than this class.
Pete Beatty, (now dead), Officiated Of
ten at these funerals, owing to his official
capacity and from a kindness of heart.
His conduct of the funeral arrangements
was not grand but it was impressive.
About it was sanc:imOny and hallOwed
reverence; which spoke as much as SER
mon aud hymn and gushing tears. After
the burial the boys returned to the saloon
and drank to the departed. while the wO-
men mOurners repaired to abOdes with
saddened hearts.
TO make room tor the school house the
bodies were removed to the cemetery
grounds; but many of the bodies were
not disinterred, the rude head boards
sight of; and at the corner stone of the
school house are human bones to mark
the era of civilization.
.'Boot hill" became historic, but it has
long ceased to be a Renaissance. There
are no more illusions to the spirits of the
dead placed there rising in the dark and
haunting the passer-by in the vigils of
the night. No weired form is ever seen
fitting by when darkness hangs like
pail and stiffness prevails.
The CHASTITY sight and somble aspect
no longer appear. and boot hill is one
of the things of forgotten time.

Before the building of the railroad
the road was built here in lS72-business
and traffic was carried on at isolated sta
tons for the accommodation of travellers,
emigrants and transportation trains.
With this traffic was also added the
trade in buffalo hides. This business
preceded the cattle trade. When the
writer reached Dodge City the commerce
was confined almost exclusively to the
:. summer business, > as Charley Lane
called it: and he said "we lived on in
winter what we made in summer
The famous seattle drive" was begun
in 1S76--it had been shifted to its remote
western border, the ''dead line," Oh the
one hundredth meridian. The cattle
drive business, the traffic in buffalo hides
and freighting constituted the trade. The
buffalo hide business was good as long as
it lasted. Buffaloes were killed for their
hides and horns, and little of the carcass
was sayed for sale, but was left for food
for worms and the carbon; but the most
of 1t withered and dried up in the sun
and light air.

SCRAPS OF EARLY HISTORY.
Blythe EDITOR.

As has been stated the country was prl-
marily a grazing country. The long horn
had supplanted the buffalo and the white
man had driven the Indian to prescribed
reservations. This, however, was not
the first step towards wrestling beautiful
country from its early inhabitants. and
putting it in the line of progress, civiliza-
ton and development. The soldier and
the Indian trader were here before the
Texas bovine wendell his weary steps
from the land of flower and cactus.
The military did duty over the plains
and encountered many hardships. and
often met in serious conflict with the red
snen. The details of these exploits are
not essential to the purposes of this write
up. We care more to give a running &C
count of the evolution of progress Of the
country from period covering not more
than thirty years.

Fort Dodge, in fact all the military
posts, while outpOsts for protection of en-
igrants aud transportation oyer the plains
against the incursiOns of Indians, was an

the vegetation from which sprang the
present condition OF business and settle

The Indians were not always hostile
bent, and it was possible to carry on a
traffic with them; but it was always ne
cessary to guard against their treacherous
character. 1t was seldom possible for
emigrant trains to pass oyer the plains
without ample protection against robbery
and murder. Mail carriers and express
trains were always OH the alert, but usu-
ally travelled unmOlested, The mail sta
tons were sometimes objects of Indian
hostility. But the Indian history of the
west is known to the average reader.

>alima Republican-.Iournal: With the
passing of Populism there will disappear
from public view the worst form of the
demagogue. The French revolution
brought TO the surface the bloodiest assas-
sins of all history. Their tyranny in the
name OF democracy was equal TO that of
the 5loodiest despOt that ever existed.
Their infamous lives and actions brought
forth the eternal eXecration of mankind.
There are men'in the Populist party
today who condone the acts of these rev.
olutionists. and who are bloody minded
enough TO be the leaders in just such an
other revolution. and be guilty Of similar
acts, were they given the opportunity.
But there is sufficient love of country
and reverence for the laws remaining to
suppress these fiends. Under the banner
of Populism they are all.sheltered. But
Populism is in its last throes. and
with its passing the reign of the dema-
gogue is at an end.

line" was more imaginary than real in
suggesting danger; but it was designated
by legislative enactment to follow along
the line of the hundredth meridian. This
line runs through the city east of the

United States and we desire recognition
we demand recognition, not as Republi-

United States. Up to this time our recog-
milton has been pretty near nil. In future
we will demand more.
1--WE want the people who come from the
East to realize that three-quarters of our
Nation is even west of Indiana, and nearly
half the population is in the West. For
this once let US lay aside all our little
chickering's, all our little jealousies, and
work together to bring one and perhaps
both National Conventions to San Fran

''At this time let me in all candor award
the need of praise to the press of San Fran
cisco for the interest and enthusiasm with
which it has taken up this project. l tell
you when the press of this City and this
State unite that they are invincible. Let
them get behind US or US behind them, as
