Witnessed denied that he had rever said to WicBain that Behm was a conncilman who might be approached for the purposo of bribery, or that he (Mack) had ever paid Behm money. Witness also testificd that the erasure of Behm's name from the record book, re- ferred to in Schon's testimony of sesterday, had been made at the request of Hubbard, who had a civil suit pending and did not care to haye the book pro- duced in court as it stood.

In view of these prodigious yel encour- aging facts, the party which controls the government has two principal duties to perform: first, to maintain the conditisns and policies, as far as they can be ascer- tained, which have led to our unexam- pled growth inall the great lines of pro- duction and exchange; and, second, to modify and readjust those conditions and policies, as far as it is possible to do it by legislation, 8o as to bring the one de- ficient and limping element, commerce, up to its proper proportions in regard to the other elements Cortainly that school of cconomists who maintain that real and substantial national prospority requires an_ equable development of thio soveral concurrent functions of produc tion, exchange and distribution, must re- gard this as eesential, No one of the sreat channels must bo obstruoted at the expenss of the others, no oue limb crip pled or paralyzed—that is, permanenty, in order that another may swell. i s tho tazk of statesmen they say, to p serve the equilibrium by timely expedi ente; and ndeed, in thelr opinion, the supremo object of tho state 1tself, alter tho protection «f individual liberty, is to preserve the balance of the great indus trisl and social forces. Commerce must, therefore, by their own showlng be brought to its proper level, Wiiether it will be poesible, and how far it will be possible, to attsin these ends—that is, the resuccitation of com- merce and at the ssme timo the preserva- tiou of our gencral industries—is & prob lom for the statesmauship of the fature to decide.

The principal towns are | Brokcn Bow (tho ¢ounty seat), Wester ville, Walworth and Sargent. Walworth is & new town, with cxcellent prospects, recently started, 10 miles west of this point and but threo miles west of tho old Weat Union postotlice, which is to bo abolished, Hore is a grand opon ing for active business men, as the cour try about is well sottlod and the sl of tho best quality. Kuowing ones sny that this town was started for the purposo of catehing the county-seat for this quarter of the county fs much talked up and we presume it will ba mado at no distant day. The leading spirit of the above now town is Wi, H. Predmore, to whom 1 can refer all that are looking for agood location. Custer county is very badly misrepro- sonted and misunderstood by a majority of your roaders. It is truo that it 1 quite hilly, but tho hills possess the best soil, and many of the oldest settlers, who had the choice of the hilla and valleys alike, took the hill land in preference, and from my own observation 1 buliove they will by most lasting and most pro- ductive. Sod corn averages twenty to twonty-five bushels to the acre, and vege tables grow about” as well on sod as on old land. So, while many think these hills are barren, worthless heaps of sand, those that llve here consider them the best land they have, and are growing all nds of grain, etc., to as good advantage re grown in any portion of the atate. This is & groat stock raising country and situated on the banks of the rapidly flowing and puro water of the Middle Loup are seme cattlo ranches of note. Situated at the head of the stream, 100 miles above this point, is tho *‘Stemn ranch,” This ranch comprises thousanda of acres, and has from 14,000 to 16,000 head of cattle and 500 head of horses They stacked this eummer about 2,000 tons of hay. Wa recently passed through thelr pasture, which is 35 miles from east to weat and 30 miles from north to south, and 1s woll foncod, Botween thirty and forty men are employed constantly at this ranch, The next ranch bulow i the O'Kane, with 200 head; the Farley Bros. with 300 head, the C. O. D. ranch, with 500 head, and so on down to Sargent, with herds ranging from 100 to 800 head. Timothy and blus grass in this vicinity have {lourished far boyond the most san guine xpoctations of the credulous en thusinsts, Osts yield from 60 to 90 bushels per acre. Millot, rys, cte., all flourish here, whilo beana do “oxtra well. As regards wheat, this country is and has, for many yoars, been exporting. The B. & M. railroad is expocted up this rich valley beforo many months, and then ths thousands of farmers will rejoice, It is both a surprise and wonder, considering the thouzands of cattle to be shipped, the advanced stato of the settloment of the country and the eaeo with which a rail road could be built, that there has not been & railrond up he long long ago. As it fs, the first road will strike a bonanza. Lot all those who want pure water, & healthy climate, rich 80il, good society, anda homo of their own, come to Custer county.

A large pumber of citizene, men f all parties went out in carringes to the old gentle man's home, some two miles from town and escorted him to the polls headed by the Montrose Cornet Baud, In tho same carriago with the centenarian rode Juliug, his son, sged seven'y three yoars, Howry Catlin, his grand sop, aved twonty three. yoars, and Ciarles Kooler, his grost-grand-son aged Lwenty-ono ycars, All voted for James G, Blaiue, srnor Cleveland has received the olaborate gavel made last winter for pro- rentation to the democratic candidato for tho presidency. Lu is composed of palmetto wood from South Caroling, u bit of the Chartor Oak, and fragments from Lincoln's log cabin, from the old olm of Boston Common, and from the torch Goneral Puatnam earried into the wolt’s den, petritied wood from Washing ton's tomb, and marble from the Roman temple of Jalius Ui sar. Undor the prcscut Vermont law a citizen votes wherover he happens to be on election day. Thus, Senator K1 munds making a flylng trip from Wash ington, deposited his ballot at the first railroad station in Vermont, which hap pened to be Bennington, instead of jing on to his home, Burlington. If thers was such a law in Pennsylvanis, for fn- stance, there would not be a democratic congrossman frowm the state, Tho ro- publicans would happen to be in the close districts on election day. A slogularfielection bet was made at Norwich, Conn. As Cleveland is elected William Hartley is to furnish a barouche drawn by a yoke of oxen, harnessed with Willismantic thread, over a line of march comprining the principal stroets of the city. Had Blaine won Krank S, Stuart was to pay for the turnout, The princi pals in the wager, with two invited guests, are to occupy scats in the baraucho, At Now Haven one election bet ealls for the lozer to black hie opponents boots twice each week fora month, Another calls for the loacr to make his weipht cqual to that of the winucr, the proe ny ditforence heivg forty-sight pounds, b most idiotic wager of the campaige was made at Bridgeport, Conn, the lorer being compolled toshave off his whiskrs, hair aud eycbro Henry Schmulbach, the leading brower of Wheoling, W.
