To my colleague and brother corre
spondent in Sheridan desire to extend
the hand eff friendship through the
medium of the MADISONIAN until Il
more favorable opportunity shall pre-
sent itself for a personal greeting. The
position of correspondent for a county
paper is. as a rule. a thankless task,
without honor or emoluments, and to be
roundly roasted and abused in an anon
ymous letter by one who claims to be a
fellow citizen and old timer, working
for the common good of the community
is, to say the least, small. despicable
piece of business. For my part | saw
nothing Objectionable in the article
above referred to. and | heartily en-
dOrse the well merited rebuke which
"Old Timer has received. Sheridan
is not so large. neither are her interests
sodiversihed that she can afford to have
several factions each pulling in diff
ferent direction, which can have no
other affect than to vitiate her best in
tereSts. Let us have correspondents to
every newspaper in the state, but let
/ the contest for news be friendly one,
each striving to further the best inter
ests of the city and surrounding coun-
try Let Us have few jokes mixed
with the sober news, but those who
cannot read them understandingly
please pass them by as it is humiliating
in the extreme to have to explain one:

WASHINGTON BAR, Feb. 4, 1896.
Especial Correspondence. ]-Everything

rest for the past few days to give the
industriously inclined time to put up
what fence was blown down. The past
two weeks of good weather has light
ened the run on haystacks materially.

quietly worked by the owners and

ore to Butte or Helena for treatment,

the dumps. Both are great mines, and
would create sensation in mining

"islOOd il Thicker Than Water.'.

The Ancient and Honorable Artillery
company of Boston is home again after an
excursion that was much more remarkable
IMAM any one supposed it would be. In the
original idea the journey to England was a
mere pleasure trip-the visit of Boston's
Ancients to the London Ancients, from
whose organization the New Englanders
TOOK pattern sometime in the seventeenth
century-and SO it continued to be until the
invaders reached London, when it became
evident that the British authorities had
planned to honor the American people
through the medium of what they may
nave supposed was representative Amer
ican military body. 1t is matter of prac-
tically no concern that the Boston Ancients
do not represent anything but themselves
IN military matters; that they are only
long-established and reputable association
Whlcn mas elected to wear uniform and is
permitted, because Of its antiquity, to carry
arms. The thing to be remembered is that
they were accorded remarkably warm
welcome and were made the "ecipients of
hospitality such as EnSlind usually be-
slows only upon royal personases. From
the republican standpoint :here IS, of
course, no reason why citizens Of the United
States should not be just as worthy Of
pubic homage as any scion of royalty.
From the monarchical standpoint ;he rea-
sons appear to be many and obvious. The
explanation IN this case is that the British
government desired to have me American
people understand that now as always
blood is thicker than water" AMI the
hospitalities and courtesi,.s rendered are
accepted and appreciated IN this sense by
the whole republic.

the propulsion of street-cars Is failure
and that New York is the only city in the
world where the overhead trolley Is not
permitted. President Vreeland knows per-
fectiy well that both of those statements
are untrue. The Engineering News should
know it, TOO, but 1t makes practically the
same assertions. Mr.. Vreeland knows that
the overhead trolley has no place in this
city and he also knows that as the logical
result of our wisdom III shutting 1t out
there have been installed and are now be-
ing operated two underground electrical
systems that, from the public standpoint,
cannot be surpassed for efficiency.
These systems are owned by two entirely
distinct compantes-competitors from start
to 1inish-and SO well satisfied are the re-
spective corporations with their under
ground methods that they are ready a:
the first opportunity to extend them to any
points in need of rapid transit facilities.
In fact. it is among the easy probabilities
that within year or so the cable roads in
Washington will be succeeded by under
ground electricity; greater economy and a
valuable elasticity of speed being the argu-
ments. If President Vreeland had honestly
taken the public into his confidence he
would have said that the underground sys-
tenn is unpopular with capitalists because
the cost of installation is so very much
greater than that of an overhead-trolley
hne; the construction of corduits is expen-
