Yet per to this maximum has the rate come, as a | result of the unpleasantness existing be- tween the Denver & Rio Grande and the Colorado Midland, to points between Denver and the “Cloud city” along these lines in Colorado. GENERAL JONN M. CoRsE, the hero of Alatoona, died at Boston on Friday of apoplexy. Thus passes from among men another of the gallant soldiers who fought for tho union cause. The 1inci- dent connected with his heroic defense of Alatoona pass, which became the in- spiration of the popular Sunday school hymn, “Hold the Fort, for I Am Com- ing,” will be intuitively recalled by the announcement of his death. It is too fa- miliar & cireumstance of history, as is also the entive carcer of this dauntless and famous military chieftain, to neced repetition. His momory will ever bo beld in grateful remembrance by his patriotic countrymen. THE farmers of Nebraska must look to their laurels if they would keep in the van with the beet raisers of some of the other states. Minnesota now is casting about with the intention of entering the fleld as a rival in this agricultural in- dustry. The bulletin just sent out by the experiment station of that state con- tains analyses of sugar beots grown in sixteen different counties. The results obtained show that the only obstacle to sugar beet raising in Minnesota lies in the inclination of her farmers and her capitalists. Soil and climate are all that can be desired, Determined efforts will at once be ivstituted for arousing a sentiment among the farmers of that state for sugar beet cultivation and among capitalists to enter upon the man- ufacture of suge THERE is a very slight discrepancy tween the testimony of Mosher's hand man Dorgan and the sube tors for convict labor and mechanies employed on the cell house walls, Mr. Dorgan would have us believe that con- vict labor is more skilled and eflicient than free labor. e also testifies that 81aday is the regular price for extra select convict The contractors do not recollect of paying more than 40 cents aday for picked and skilled conviets and the stonecutter testifies that free labor was cheaper at the standard wage paid than cony labor at 40 cents. But the Board of Public Lands and Buildings was not particular how much was charged to the state and Dorgan, as state agent, charged up $1 a day in addi- tion to the 40 cents a day which the state pays for keoping the conviets, The only wonder is that Mosher *“*busted” in spite of his soft job. Somebody must have held him up for more than he made. e sul boss THE Chinese Six Companies must be amassing a large fund with which to fight the Geary act. 10se who profess to know say that not less than $60,000 was realized by the first assessment upon the Chinamen in this count The eir- cular levying this assessment said that every Chinaman was expected to give $1 to the Six Companies to pay the expense of employing couns. Bat another cular just issued demands a further con- tribution of 5 from cach. Those who do not pay will not be given papers to return to China is the threat contained in the circular.

PROGRESS OF TIIE BITRATION. The speech of Mr. James C. Carter, as counsel for the United States before the Bering seatribunal of avbitration, which was finished Tuesday, given its author international fame. [t was not a eat effort merely by reason of the time occupied in its delive for hours, distributed over two weeks more—though in this respeet it is per: haps nnparaileled, but more particularly for the luminous exposition it present of the American case, the fored of @ e =1 the splendid power with which it maintained the justice of the ms of the United States, and the brilliancy and impressiveness of some of its propositions applied to the relations and mutu ations of nations. It was an extraordinary tribute which the pres- ident of the court paid to the gry law- yerwhen he had coneluded his speech. I'he principal voints made by Me. Car- tor were that the right elaimed by the United States to protec e open sea {3 in the interest of humanity, and that while this country asked for a m mopoly of the seals, it did 8o not for its sole advantage, but for th benefit of the civilized world; that pelagic sealing is wrong, and that in er to prevent it this ¢country, having the right of ownership in seals, has the ssels caught in pelagi right to scize v fishing.

RECASTING STATE LINES There is a somewhat interesting dis- 1ssion in progress in the states of Washington, Ovegon and Idaho regard- ing a proposition to recast the state lines, The plan proposed is that the portions of Washington and Ovegon west of the Cascade mountains should be be called the portion of Washington east of these mountains, together with north Idaho, should form another state, to be called Washington; finally that south Idaho and eastern should be joined under the name of It is argued in behalf of this that it would substitute natural bitrary ies, bring together h have lagous or identical rests, and that the people of all three states would be benefited by the change and th gon: that Oregon bou areas w expenses of government 1 Spokane Rview, which has been giving very intelligent and eavnest attention to this proposition, points out numerous advantages that would result from its adoption and which certainly vitaclaim to the people of these states, All the territory now embraced in the wtes of Washington, Oregon and Idaho w5 originally covered by the t of Ovegon. a t hington was or n critory in 1853 and 3 s stated by a writer in the New York Sun, the conditions then s have ceased to exist.

That tin exists there has not been doubted, but whether in quantities sufficient to prove remunerative, considering the ting the mines, has | not been determined in popular opinion. Rapid City Republican now comes ard with a plausible explanation for the suspension of operations just at the time when commercial tin from the Hills was about to bo placed on the Ameviean market. It says that the solo and only cause was the failure of the Englishmen, so largely interested in the mine, to pay theie stock assessments. Lord Thurlow and another heavy stock- holder wera the only forcign who paid their wre of the heavy expense of building and the mill in operation. The ican stockholders, tirin of the whole burden, determined to stop work until the Englishmen came to the front. The further statement that seventy-five tons of black oxides, the product of the test run, ave now in the bins of the Harney Peak mill will 20 far to carry assurance in the richness of the mines.

It is also said that there is trouble with the ar- rangement with Brazil, and that it is ily to our mer ause of complaint in the case of Spain. These statements may sub- stantial ground, but the motive of the investigation instituted to ascertain the operation of this poticy, and from which these facts o said to be derived, is a ve to abandon the policy in its en- cand there is very little doubt that a way will be feund to do this.
