A Tramp's Opinion of a Promi
nent Railroad Man.
Joe. Yovcll's Triit to the lias; Scarcity

Outfit, lite.
Antkmu'i:, Dec. 23,
I wish cvoryhody a happy New
Year.
The Bollo of Antelope is well nysun,
looking as chirp and pretty u.s over.
Ir. Willimn lluli'inan has comple
ted his logging contract, at llilgard,
and returned home. He j-old out his
oxen, log wa.ons and entire outfit, and
quit the hiisiness for good. Mrs. 1 lull
man is recovering rapidly from her
late spell of sickness.
Antelope is a dry place for news. 1
inquire of the people, "what is the
news?" and they inform me, "nothing."
That appears to he their principal oc
cupation nowadays doing nothing.
Jf they would only get up a dog tight,
horse race, turkey shooting or have a
dance or two, there would soon he
plenty of news irom Antelope, for wo
are a sociahle people up here when wo
get started. Hut lately we have fallen
into a Kip Van Winkle sleep.
Tho masquerade hall at Union on
Christmas night was a grand allair.
The hall was crowded with fair women
and hrave men. 1 never knew there
was so many beautiful women in
Grande Itonde valley, before. As 1
was not acquainted with many of the
beautiful ladies piesent, I came to tho
conclusion, after serious thought on
the subject, that there was no ono
there 1 liked as well as myself.
Did ye sec that .John Mnlonc, will his shin
in' brand new li.it,
Did ye notice how lie walked like a grand
arUtornit.
There was line's an' banners wavin' hijrh,
ami dre anil style were shown,
Hut the best of all the company win that
.Mister John Malone.
Mr. Joseph Yowell is staying close
to the house this cold weather, put
ting in his time hugging the stove
when Mrs. Yowell is away, doe swears
tho wind don't blow in l'ylo canyon.
As ho has lived hero for twenty-five
years, 1 did not dispute with him on
tho subject, for i thought he certainly
ought to know. After forty year's ab
sence .Joe went east a few years ago to
see his brothers. He left the train a
few miles from the town where his
brothers lived and bought himself a
new suit of broadcloth clothes and a
shining new plug hat. He also met
several old schoolmates and there was
great rejoicing and good fellowship,
etc., etc. As .Joe boarded the train to
go on to his brother's with three bot
tles of champagne inside his body he
ran up against a tine French plate
looking-glass fastened on the side of
the I'ullman car. A smile thnt was
childlike and bland overspread his
handsome and honest eountenar.ee as
ho reached out his hand to his image
in the looking-glass and said : "1'ut it
there, brother Kill. Notwithstanding
your fine clothes and plug hat, I know
by vour face you are a Yowell." Joe
tliniieht it was one of his brothers
come to meet him.
A tramp struck my camp on Vow
iw r!vr u few nitrhts nco. He was
an entertaining cuss, having been all
over tho world. Ho had just been
discharged from a railroad section,
and consequently was down on Jay
Gould. He informed mo that Jay
Gould was discharging hundreds of
men all along tho line, and that he
was a curse to civilization. Look at
the thousands of men, women and
children ho has rendered destitute in
his life in gratifying his lovo for nion
reckers thrive in wild
storms which dash dismasted ships on
a cruel coast, or as camp followers find
their richest rewards in a dark night
that follows a battle, Jay Gould pros
pers and triumphs, when other peo
ple are in diro distress. It was a cold
day for America when that man star
ted out with his rat trap to prey on
mankind. Alter supper my friend of j
a night lit his pipe, and as he pulled
the snioko from his mouth in evident
enjoyment, delivered himself as fol
lows: "Did you evor notice how sus
picious and hard-hearted religious
peoplo arc?" 1 informed him that
was news to mo. I always thought
they wero as liberal as other peoplo.
He said thoy were not; whenever ho
struck a to-called Christian for some- .
thing to oat, thoy never gavo it only
advice and you know advice is poor '
grub for ft hungry man. In tho mom
:.. ..... frintiil nftfr breakfast, went
on his way, and the last bit of infor-
Ult inn " . . .
mution I derived from him was that
stock men and miners wero a ireo
hcartcd class of people.

Southern 'Supremacy.
i Kai.kk.ii. South Carolina,
j EniTiiit OiiKiiox Seorr:
j In the days of the existunee of sla
very in the South it was a generally
I admitted fact, that the South had more
inlluenee in congress and held a iar
' ger number of de.-irable olliees, in pro
portion to mtmbcis, than the North.
; The system of slavery created wealth,
j and made it possible for the best men
! to devote themselves to public all'.iirs.
! lhisiness, in the sense in which we now
use the word, had little hold upon the
upper elass of whites. Their lives
were almost lives of the Patriarchs.
Their wealth enabled them to educate
their sous and daughter in the best
schools of the land. Their daughters
LM-aced the home and their sons tilled i
the professions ; became the la.v-nia-j
kers and governors of their States, and J
represented their people in congress.
Theii best men were sent to Washing
ton, and kept there for a life of public
service. Southern supremacy, in a
political sense, in proportion to num
bers was an admitted political fact.
Since the war, the South has quite
generally adhered to the old time policy, 1
and has sent its best men to Washing- i
ton, and has kept them there. As ti
consequence, Southern supremacy 1
has come again. A supremacy of
actual admitted ability in making laws,
iulluencing legislation, and in giving
general tone and direction to govern
mental a Hairs.
Tho Evening Journal, of Albany,
N. Y., in a recent number, gives to its
readers a dismal editorial wail under
the head of "Southern Supremacy." j
Wo give extracts from the editorial in
order to give emphasis to our own be
lief, based on somo knowledge of the
South that the day of Southern politi
cal supremacy is just before us.
"The poverty of the Democratic
party in northern material and the
supremacy of the southern wing of tho
organization were never more pain
fully illustrated than in tho current
gossip regarding thu speakership of tho
next House."
The editor says that New England,
New York, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, and
the Pacific slope, have no speaker tim
ber and siro almost voiceless.
"On tho other hand, the southern
wing of democracy abounds in biil
liant intellects, any ono of which
would shine respondent in the Sneak
er's chair. Rodger (J. Mills, of Texas, j
radical free trader that ho is, would
make an able and forceful Speaker.
Charles E. Crisp of Georgia, makes up
in polish for what he lacks of Mill's
rugged nature. W. C. P. Ureekin
riili'o. of Kentucky, is tho ouual of
either and would make si picturesque
mm .1 i P
Sneaker, renoweu lor tno beauty oi
his bushy and snowy locks and his
unfailing supply of good nature. Hen
ton McMillin, of Tennessee, is another
student and orator, well trained in tho
nolitical and economic doctrines of the
Southern oligarchy and skilled in par- i
lminnt.aiv nractieo. William II.
Hatch, of Missouri, is tho equal of any
man mentioned; and behind nun
he has the inlltienco of tho Farmers'
Alliance of the southwest, a not po
tential factor."
The writer of this editorial, near its
close, sadly but honestly says.
"Indeed it is a recognized fact that
there is scarcely a southern State which
docs not contain speakership timber."
If then, tho democrats place their
best men in tho Speaker's chair that
man will bo the head and embodiment
of Southern supremacy. For no man
in this country, wo mako no excep
tions, has tho power to exert an influ
ence equal to the speaker of the Houso
of Representatives in Congress.
And what will the South do with
this supremacy? This question may
.. ftikiwl crmlti ii1w ufill nm 1
WKJllj lllitlH CUUIO) n DWll
liovo tho North to bo a country all
right; and the South a foreign land
all wrong. Kut wo have no fears.
The legislation cannot bo sectional.
Tho system of slavery is gone forever;
and with it went all that made tho
South a tcction. As far as tho mem
bers of congress from the South cau
direct tho alliiirs of this government
ormaku its laws, it will be done in a
broad and kindly spirit. Whatever
is good for tho South, is good for tho
whololand. And wo predict, that wo
shall bo compelled to go fur back in
... . . i .1 ..t Mr.
History, towiiru iuu unyo ui t iiounij,
ton to find supremacy as little section
al, as it will be when Southern Supre
macy is seated in tho Speaker's chair.
