The Sidney Telegraph of the. 18tU int»t. indnlges in almost twocolumnsof editorial "which, for real malicious lying we have rarely seen equaled, and the object of this mighty disgorgemcnt of viciooi misrepre sentittion is the Caster Route to the Hill*. We believe it just and proper for. a news paper to advocate tne advantages of its cality and to manfully battle for its pros perity, to advance its interests in cveiy li gitimate manner, but when these means are exhausted it ill becomes any newspaper to attempt to build up either itself ot its town by slanderous falsehoods of any rival. When this is all their stock in trade to ad vance. their interests, they are indeed short of ammunition. If the fellow could lie deccntly there might be some little excuse for him, but his entire two columns area mass of falsehoods so bnngling that any one the least acquainted with the different routes to the Hills would brand them at once as purely malicious. No doubt tbe intention of the writer was to have them effective but he overdoes the job and show* the animus which permeates his malicious screed too plainly to deceivc any save en tire strangers, and were it not that the ar ticle in question may be copied into East ern papers and deceive innocent parties, we should never notice this bungling at tempt to build up the Sidney route by vil lifying competing routes. He starts in by copying a "special telegram" to the Bos ton Herald, from Deadwood, and compli ments it as a fair and unpredjtidiced state meat Now think am Steph ens has written an open letter to Washing ton Post. First he denies Potter's state ments that he was acting in collusion with Republicans in interposing objections to Democrats and unite the Republicans. He reiterates that the matter as it stands is a grave error, which will distract the coun try and will either prove a contemptible farse or a horrible tragedy. The senate resolution fixing June 10th as the date of adjournment was brought before the house by Wood. Considerable cxcitcmcnt followed from the absence of a large number of Democrats and Wood, to prevent action, moved an adjournment which was lost Subsequently a motion to postpone was Also lost, and the original motion to Connor came within four votes of being carried. Finally June 17th was fixed by the house as the date, by the aid of a few democrats voting with Rcpubli cans.

This is plainly the cause of the Tele graph's spasm of virtuous economy all in the interest of the dear government, of course. Perhaps, Mr. Telegraph, if you open out another two column lie you may get another passenger. We notice the fol lowing in the Lead City Telegraph Her ald of May 21st: "REP CLOCD. May St.—Tha Sidney coacb left Red Clond at 4 p. m., with the following paaaen ger: George Donaldson. So it seems you got him. Our Sidney friend says that nine-tenths of the freight going into the Hills goes over that route. Then why this squeal? We havn't the freight records but we presume the above passenger lists are but a type ofthe freight business. These matters in a great meas ure regulate themselves and if the Sidney route is such a lovely thoroughfare why don't it get the travel In regard to the charge of collusion with road agents, made againt the Northwest ern Stage and Transportation Company, it is not worth while to waste breath to deny it. The man who would seriously make such a charge writes himself down a thor oughbred ass with ears long enough him self. The company have taken every means possible to protect its patrons. It employs cntlenien for employes, and the best coach es and horse fleBh that money can buy. The Telegraph makes itself ridiculous by asserting that more men have been killed on this route than all others, for with the same breath he accuses joliy Bill Gidlcy, the superintendent and one of the oldest and most thorough stage men in the West, of bargaining with the bandits for immu nity from molestation.

But wfc have used more space than the subject, simply as far as Sidney is con ccrned. is worth, bat behind this we see a deeper motive than to benefit the Sidney route alone, although, of course, this is an essential part of the programme but tbtf recent efforts of the linion Pacific, which simply means Jay Gould, to bull-dozc, bribe or bny the national congress is too fresh in the niinds of everybody to I misled by false pretenses no matter how well disguised or under whatever special pleas promulgated. Money has been pour ed out like water by Jay Gould to cripple the Northern Pacific enterprise, not only to pro. unfriendly legislation but to draw away the Black Hills traffic, and es pecially since being so emphatically kick ed out of congress the old dog not only,but the little pups all along the line of the U. P. have been yelping, and this accounts for the perfect disintemtedness, ofcourse-, ofthe editor of the Sidney Telegraph who so energetically barksforJay.Gouldwhose collar he wears. There is an urgent demand for the prop er authorities to survey a few townships uf the public lands in this vicinity. A por tion of the appropriation should certainly le expended here for we arc positive no locality in the Territory is suffering aa much for the lack of snrvcj's being made as we are. Seltlers are flocking into Mor ton county and plenty more arc ready to follow if there was any certainty of their correct locality, but there is not a town ship in the county subdivided, and they arc an organized county and in running order. We would invite the surveyorgen eral's attention to this subjcct as the pro pie here are getting impatient and feel that they are neglected in this matter of sur veys. who wou'd be to the trouble of sending a special to a Boston paper for the purpose of lying np a particular route to the Hills and lying down another unless he were a party in interest Too thin, Mr. Sidney man, alto gether too thin. But we will give a sam ple of this fellow's lying, ne seems to do it naturally or at least has been paid for doing that kind of business so long that it has become second nature. He says: XurthrrnDnhmtm fmrmlmg. Frank J. Mead, in the Minneapolis Tri bune, gathers the following facts in rela tion to Diilrymplc's farming enterprise* in Northern Dakota: "The largest farm is called the "Orandin" farm and consists of 40,00!) acres lying on the west bank of the Red River, tliirty-flve miles down (north) from Kargo. It has a frontage of ten miles of the river. This year tbc Grandin has 5,009 acres in wheat, and will 1 rrak 5,000 acres for next pear's crop. The Cass farm contains 0,000 acres, and has this year 4,000 in wheat and will break the remain ing 2,000 acres. The Cheney farm contains 4,000 acres, has 2,500 acres in wheat, aad all the remaining sod will be turned over this year. The Cass and Cheney farms lie on the north and south side ofthe railroad, 15 miles due west of Fargo. town which, travelers who have been taken in and done for have cautioned the public to avoid, and yet while these stories were be ing told about Sidney we never repeated them througluhe columnsof the TIUULNE or in any manner misrepresented, or said anything about the Sidney route further than lo claim the Custer route as tbe best and most feasible and this claim was based upon the authority of old freighters who have tried all the different routes to the Hills. This charge of belying the route is purely fictitious as far as Bismarck is concerned, she has enough business of her own lo attend to without meddling with others' routes, and this is, in our opinion, what ails the Sidney man. His editorial is simply a two column squeal because the people and the government arc fast learn ing that the Cnster route is the preferable one to the Hills. We are confident we are correct in this as we have picked up the first Deadwood paper within reach and make the following extract from the daily Pioneer: To-day there arc 100 breaking plows in operation, and tbe force will be'materially increased soon. Mr. D. purposes bringing the area of plowed laud to over 20,000 acres, this vear. On the various farms are now employed 150 men, but before the season is over there will be at work from three to four hundred persons. There are at thi» time 800 head of Mules and horses, nono of which are under 1,200 pounds in weight. One hundred and fifty stubble plows nntl one hundred breaking plows are now at work from sunrise lo sunset. On the dif ferent farms there arc fifteen steam thresh ers with a capacity of1,000 bushels per day each. "The foola In lantfsa." The S daey Tc*le^rsrh in concluding-a long and w-ll put article on tli-j territorial question concludes as follows: "And right, here in this new territorial schemc. the fools iu Yankton, who arc likewisc.blind, are madly endeavoring to cut their own throats. Their delegates in congrcsi were instructed to lijht to the very death the Territorial proposition, and everything that could le done, by priviUc and public means, to prevent the bill organizing Lin coln Territory from liecoiuing a law has been done by the people of eastern Dako ta, and so far as the present sessson of con gress is concerned they have undoubtedly bucccedcd. Now this plain tenth stares them in the tace: "The mountain must come to MaUommet or Mahommet must go to the mountainthe Territorial gov ernment of Dakota must go to the Black Hills, or the Black Hills must goto Yank-, ton, the present seat of government. An.$: yet the blind men of Yankton are expect ing the West to come to tha East and tha Black Hills to be located on the Missouri. They seem to be unable to realize that their only hope of keeping a territorial government at Yankton lies in their im mediate organization of a new territory embracing the Black Hills. If this is not done another year will witness the remov al ofthe Capital to Deadwood and tbe east-, crn portion of the Territory be "backcoun. ties" and rural districts of but little impor tance.
