Consultation of Republican Leaders
I'm New York.
The republican campaign in New York
was formally opened yesterday in the
Metropolitan Life building in New York
city. There were no big ceremonies, no
grand fanfaronade and no firing of guns
Chairman Mark Hanna arrived at head
quarters promptly at 10 o'clock and met
Gen. Powell Clayton of Arkansas, n. b.
Scott and other republicans, who are to as
sist in conducting the campaign. Garret
A. Hobart was expected to arrive later.
Before going to headquarters Mr. Hanna
met number of republicans at the Wal
dorf Hotel. The chairman said he expected
to be at headquarters every day until he
departed for Chicago. He expected to meet
a number of republicans and give the cam
paign ball good send off.
As to his meeting with Mr.. Platt and Mr..
Hackett Saturday, he said that he was glad
they called, for it gave him an opportunity
to talk over the situation in the state. The
chairman made it understood that he recog-
niZed the state committee just he would
in any other state, and, naturally, he eX-
pected cooperation. But the recognition
Of the state committee does not mean that
any other organization of republicans in
the state shall not be duly recognized.
A conference between Chairman Hanna
and Messrs. Clayton, Scott and Gibbs of
the national executive committee took
place late in the afternoon at republican
headquarters. The conference was brief,
and, it is said, was devoted entirely to a
discussion of the factinal differences in Eir-
ginia between Bowden and Lamb. Nothing
definite was decided upon, and the con-
ference was adjourned until today.

A driving horse owned by Contractor
James NJ. York ran away yesterday after
neon and dashed into the iron posts and the
telegraph poles at the corner of 9th street
and New York avenue. smashing the car
riage to pieces. The horse finally struck a
lamp post and drove piece Of the carriage
shaft into its breast, making a wound that
rendered 1t necessary to shoot him.
The cause of the runaway seems to have
been the carelessness Of driver of a brick
wagon. Mr.. York had left his horse stand
irg in front Of Oh Massachusetts, avenue
with the reins around a post, when the
Pc ssing brick wagon hit the carriage and
frightened the horse. 1t is said the driver

Washington Played IL Spirftless Game
Against Baltimore.
1t was a curious coincidence that Baltf-
more should shut Washington out twice in
succession by the same score, seven to
nothing. 1t Is also bit curious that the
Statesmen have not scored a run since the
Joyce-Farrell deal. Those few who saw
the game yesterday at National Park may
have found the reason. 1t was certainly
apparent to all, even probably to Mr..
SchmelZ on the bench that the team lacked
a directing genius. an inspiring head, who
should give advice and direction in thick

stupid plays that had an effect on the re-

should be held by the courts that the

the tax collected, but also for the pen

FARMING IN THE BLACK HILLS.

Where Horses Can he Raised for Nothing
and Hog Cholera IN Unknown.
During the year 1885, cattle to the
value of 100000 were shipped from
the ranges of western South Dakota,
writes IS. NJ. H. in the Corn Belt.
The average price for COWS was s23.17
and steers s37. &c. Practically those
cattle were never fed a pound of food
by hand; the natural grasses were all
they had. What stronger argument
can there be for stock raising in the
Black Hills than this? Farmers here
are all stock ~raisers. They till the val
leys and pasture their live stock upon
the hills back of them, where there is
an abundant growth of the most nutri-
tious grasses known. Through irriga-
ton by the mountain streams or from
reservoirs that collect and retain the
spring floods the Black Hills farmer
raises his alfalfa for his mich COWS and
young stock, the delicious vegetables
that a be found only in a high alti-
tude, the finest apples, crab apples and
berries Imaginable, the hardest wheat
to be found, and. the heaviest oats to
be met with anywhere. 1t was wheat
from this altitude that took the pre-
MUM at the Worlds Fair. He fences
his fields and turns his live stock loose
on his ranges. If he wants a little beef
to market late in the spring he turns
what cattle he wants into the pasture
in December and feeds them alfalfa
and a very little corn until he gets
ready to turn them off.
His pork costs him practically moth.
ing; he raises his pigs in a five or ten
acre alfalfa patch, where they grow
splendidly. After he has cut his large
alfalfa fields the last time for the year
he turns his hogs loose into it andfeeds
them nothing else until about two
weeks before he wants to kill, when he
gives them a little corn to hardenthem.
Such pork costs him practically moth
ing. Hog cholera was never heard of
in the i.lack Hills.
Ten thousand mining people depend
upon the Black Hills farmers for what
they eat, and mining people are heavy
eaters. You find no d%yspeptics among
them. They haven't the time to spare
for such fads as dyspepsia.
There are abundant opportunities to
farm in the Black Hills. but YOU only
want money enough to get your land
on the valleys and live stock onto the
ranges adjoining. This combination
cannot be beat.
The horses raised in this altitude are
in demand by the government for
cavalry purposes and by all who want
a horse that is a ''stayer.' You will re-
member that the great running horse
Spokane was brought up and trained
in a high altitude and taken into Il
lower one to run his races. 1t does not
cost a cent to raise horses here; all you
have to do is to let them out on the
range until you want to break them.
They never die on the ranges.
