Swindling seems to he contagious
in our day. The developments of
corruption at Washington among
Government officials is only the head
of a sore that has its roots through
out the country. But we do not
propose to lecture now on morals in
the stench of the Babcock and
Belknap developments. It is iu the
air, and every one can smell it, and
talking is useless. We wish to talk
where it will do the most good for
our subscribers.

A man bv the name of John Car
rington writes to the Halt Lake Tri
bune not in very glowing terras of
the Black Hills mines. He writes
from Custer, the centre of the mines
and saj-s:
I have seen the prospects from
several pans of dirt, gravel and led-
rock, estimated by those who washed
them a3 averaging from ten to twen-
ty-nve cents to the pan, while in re
ality they would not exceed one and
a hall to two cents. In tlie course
of four days I did not see nor hear
of the color of a ffold dust transac
tion changing hands from the mi
ner to the storekeeper. There weie,
I believe, in the neighloroood of 3,
5U0 men when I left. I counted on
the road between Custer and Chey
enne 070 persons from all parts of
the States, with a few families among
their number, and several instances
ot men on foot, picking their blank
ets on their backs, and some with
out blankets at all. It is "Black
Hills or Bust,'raiid many are busted
before getting there. In the Hills
they will find many actually in
want.
I was told on the road by many
that they had sold their homesteads,
had sacrificed them, to get ready
cash to take them to the Hills,
through the great reports they had
heard concerning the richness of the
country where there was room for
50,000 men and ground for all, that
would average rive dollars per day
to the day to the hand, and said to
be equal "to California or Australia.
From observation and inquiry, and
from tho most reliable sources I
could find while there, I say that
the first pay prospect has yet to be
produced in the reputed Black Hills
country.

the average yield of wheat per acre
in the eleventh century was estima

day, the author of "Meta," at only
six" bushels. So 300 years later, in

yielded only .'JUG bushels, and on an
average of three years, little more
than that. The actual productive
power of Great Britain in the article

Well, he ha.s delegated that power

howled against rings, cliques, mo

makes a good squirt-gun for Porter.
But now he says that those who howl
about rings are political tricksters
true for "Spigot," is nt it? Ubet:
He has offered several prominent In

would do certain things! AU:

There is a good deal of complaint
among Republicans of ashington
county on account of what many
consider an unfair apportionment
of delegates to the county conven
tion from the different precincts.
From what information we have on
the subject we are inclined to think
the basis of apportionment is not
one that will give the Republicans
of all the precincts an equal repre
sentation in tho convention. Orego

would make tho Oregon inn crowd
squeal. We hope that crowd will
get their bellies full of this fun now.
