suffering opposition from the more

POLITICAL NOTES

Col. Steele is looming up for a
Third Term.
Col Murrin does not want the
nomination for Delegate.
Hon. E. L. Pease, of Evanston, is
in the hands of his friends.
Hon. c. W. Bramel would not de-
cline a nomination for Congress.
Tilden & Thurman, or vice Versa,
is the favorite ticket of Wyoming
Democrats.
The Republican nomenation for
Congress in this Territory lies be-
tween Judge Carey and Col. Down.
ey. Either one would make a good
Delegate.
Independents, Liberals and Sore
heads, like Sam. Bowles, of the
Springfield Republican, or lesser
lights of that tribe in this section OF
the country, will not nominate the
next Republican candidate for Pres
ident. This is bad for Bristow.
Caleb Marsh, the arch coward,
does not seem to come forward with
that long promised full statement of
the Belknap case. The public is
waiting to hear him tell how mean
he acted in the transaction, also to
explain why Hester Clymer was so
anxious to have him jump the coun-
try.
The Republican victory in Maine
has greatly improved the prospects
of Mr.. Blaine's for the Republic

weakened Republicans have be-

much of the necessity of nominating
an independent, liberal or soreheaded
Republican.

The rejection of Senator Pinch
back by the U. S. Senate is one of
the most unfortunate blunders even
made by hat body. 1t has no sig
n%iicance as regards the question of
race or color /; but it places the Sen
ator in the attitude of having stulti-.
fed itself. Having recognized Gov.
Kellogg as the legal Governor of
Louisiana, and having rejected the
claims of Mr. Eustis, the logical ac-
ton in the premises would have been
to admit Pinchback. But unwise
counsels have prevailed, and a sufi-
Gent number of Republican Sena-
tors were SO influenced by technical
considerations as to join the Demo-
Gratis in voting against his admis-
sion.
No matter what other results may
follow, it is certain that MIR. Pinch
back will not desert the party even
under this great p%rovocation, and
his merits as a leader will not per-
init him to wait long, before he re-
ceives some new and additional rec
ignition of the appreciation in which
he is held by his constituents. His
rejection, however, is a poor reward
for the sacrifices he has made to the
party, and the personal peril he has
incurred by his devotion to its prin-
ciDles.

Up the Rocky Mountains n Cow

We leave Denver by the Colorado Central
Railroad for short stay among the Rocky
Mountains, bound first for Central City. After
riding for about an hour, we change cars on to
Il narrow-gauge railroad, and from this point
the scenery is of the very widest description.
The road itself, built "a, it IS along the banks of

which now rises 50 high above your head that
it almost shuts ont the Sky, is tribute to mans
superiority TO the obstacles nature has placed
IN his way. As we stop a minute before Il very
steep ascent, 90 forward and ask permission
Of the engineer to ride by his side, believing
that one cannot obtain an adequate view of the
magnificent scenery through which we are about
to pass while sitting in the ears. The engineer,
however, says that, az the roai is narrow
gauge, the cab is only Just big enough for him

Poets, statesmen, heroes and philosophers have

ARRANGING FURNITURE. In arranging
furniture about the room bear in mind
that it is not necessary to push every ar
ticle primly out at the Sides SO that sofas
look as ii they We're glued TO the wall
Pull them out; put sofa across one cor
ner; stand the big easy chair in the light
with little table close by, handy for sew
ing or books; leave a chair or two in
front of the sofa and in general SO dis
pose of the articles that the room shall not
appear as if the owners never entered it
save on ceremonial occasions. Whether
a room is pleasing and cosy or not does
not depend upon the elegance Or costli-
ness OF its fittings. The simplest furniture,
if tasteiully arranged as regards color and
position, often looks better than the hand
soonest products of the cabinet makers

Her lips and eyes that were so sweet
