The Emperor of China is allowed
three wives. the chief of whom is the
empress, while the other two are
queens. lie has the right, under GER
tain restrictions, of choosing his own
successor. When the Emperor Helm
Fung died, in 1861, lie left the throne to
his son Toung-che, who was only five
years old. The empress and the boys
mother. one of the two Queens, were
made co-regents. They reigned very
successfully until 1878, when Toung-che
took the government into his own hands,
and removed them from power. In 1875
he died of smallpox, without naming q
successor. His wife was a feeble girl,
with young baby, for whose rights
she had not the strength of character to
fight. She soon died, and the old en-
press and queen seized the opportunity
to get back upon the throne. They
chose a three year-old nephew of Hien
Fung, and appointed themselves to
reign until lie became a man The
scheme was carried out, and the two
women are now seemingly firmly re-es-
tablished. Among the first statesman
of the empire was Wo Ko-tu, at the head
Of the Civil Service Department. He
brooded over the wrong done to the in
FAINT son of Toung-che, and at last re-
solved to speak out against it. This was
serious matter. for ancient usage in
China DEGREES that whoever utters trea-
son shall at once commit suicide. Wo
Ko-tu wrote and published, in the most
respectful language, a demand that the
empress araE queen should abdicate.
Then he killea. himself with knife.

The barometer Of the national pros
perity of England is. according to the
London Sanitary Record, at very low
ebb, as the depression in the marriage
rate, that unerring test Of the material
condition and prospects Of the people,
was still more strongly marked during
the first quarter of this year than it had
been in any Of the four quarters Of 1878.
The annual marriage rate in the three
months ending March last did not exceed
lI6 per 1000, and was 2.l below the
average rate of the corresponding period
Of the previous forty years-l838-77. So
low a marriage rate has not prevailed in
the first quarter of any year since 1887.
when the act for civil registration of
marriages. births and deaths first rem
dered these statistics possible. The
nearest approach to so low a marriage
rate, in the first quarter of the year, was
l2 IS in the first three months Of l84l.

Wild beasts make awful havoc among
the cattle of some of the Russian prov
inces. In the province ofNovgorod, for
example, the horses and cows Of the pea
SAINTS daily fall victims: The authorities
of that province have, during the past
ten years, tried every possible way of
roofing out the wolves and bears, but
without any noticeable success. In the
year 1878 the loss then ran as high as
i, 500 head of cattle At its last session
tile Zemstvo decided to offer reward of
five roubles to every person who shall
kill wolf, old or young, and ten roubles
for each bear killed during the summer,
the money to be paid from the provincial
fund. Strychnine pills are recommended
for the destruction Of the wild beasts.

If person swallows any poison what
ever, or has fallen into convulsiohs from
having overloaded the stomach. an in
Simultaneous remedy, most efficient and
applicable in large number of cases,
is a heaping teaspoonful Of common salt
and SIS much ground mustard, stirred
rapidly in teacupful of water, warm
or cold, and swallowed instantly. 1t is
scarcely down before it begins to come
up, bringing with it the remaining con-
tents of the stomach; and lest there be
any remnant of the poison, however
small, let the white of an egg or a tea
spoonful Of strong coffee be swallowed
as soon as the stomach is quiet, because
these very common articles nullify a
large number of virulent poisons.

The Late Adeibart Plough.


The Denver Times gives the follow
ing additional information about the
late Adelbart Plough. who committed
suicide in Cheyenne the other day. 1t
says:
1.-THE Cheyenne papers of Wednesday
bring accounts Of the sudden death in
that city, OIL Tuesday, Of Adelbart
Plough. who placed the business end of
a Colts revolver IN his mouth and
blazed away. Plough was a native of
Roxbury, New York. For some time
past he had been employed on the ranch
Of Sheriff Cook, of this city. Last
Friday e. D. Stevens, expressman,
brought Plough and his trunk from the
ranch, and left them at the Williams
house, West Denver. The man appeared
to be in Ill health. He had never be-
fore wandered from home, and spoke of
it in a ann that indicated home
sickness. While coming in the young
man exhibited his revolver, and Mr..
Stevens, drawing his weapon, fired at a
mark. The report Of the pistol ap-
peared to shock the passenger, who de-
sired that it should he put up. Mr..
Stevens requested that he might try
Plough's pistol, but the latter declined,
saying that he might have occasion to
use it by-and-by. On arriving at the
Williams house, Plough told Mr.. Ste.
vens that he had s95 and a watch, and
wanted to know what would become OF
him after his money was exhausted and
he should be sick. The latter replied
that he would be well taken care of,
and would not suffer for lack Of atten.
ton. On Saturday he went to Chey.
enne, and 10 the house Of George Van.
dyke ut that place, with whom he had
a family acquaintance. He was there
assured that he would not suffer for
want Of care and attention. On Sun.
day he appeared to be in a high fever,
which subsidized on Tuesday. But
Plough, in a fit of dependency, took
his pistol from his trunk and committed
suicide in the n above stated.n

That Meeting.

Not a man on the new ticket was in
the meeting last night. The plan Of
nominating yourself wasn't observed.
AS an evidence that there was no put
up job, the action of the nominating
committee in presenting an incomplete
ticket at first may be cited.
The offices sought the men for the
new ticket.
The attendance last night was three
times larger than at any Of the previ-
GUS meetings.
Men who mean good for the commu-
nifty don't go into meetings to grab
everything for themselves.

H NEW TICKET.

NN
meeting a printed in the LEADER of
this morning, another legislative ticket
has been put in nomination. The
causes that gave rise to the movement
which thus eliminated, arose imme-
diately after the union ticket Of last
week was put in the field. The people
could not and would not submit quietly
to the outrage on decency perpetrated
by the republican convention. That
convention, in placing six out of its
thirteen members in nomination for
office, performed an act of greed that
had no precedent In the annals of polit-
ical conventions. 1t seemed that the
only thing which prevented all of the
delegates to the convention being NOM
mated was, that there were not thir-
teen nominations to make. 1t is true
that the convention nominated one
man outside of its membership, but it
was done Internationally, and the
members have been troubling them
selves ever since to discover how In the
world it happened.
Such wholesale greed was unbearable.
The people determined that 1t should
be rebuked, and 1t needed but q start
to give public sentiment form and life.
The w~orkingmen nobly came to the
front, and they were Joined heartily by
citizens irrespective of party. The re-
suit is a ticket against which nc excep-
lions can be taken. 1t represents all
interests and nstionalities. Further
more it embraces ability and respecta-
bility. 1t is a ticket to which the
citizens of Laramie county can tie. No
treason in its membership. Every man
is solid on the capital question.
The LEADER endorses this ticket for
several reasons: While it brought about
the sentiment in favor Of a union
ticket, it did not suppose for a moment
that the greed Of the delegates would
get away with their discretion. The
delegates abused the confidence re-
posed in them, and the people and the
LKADER cannot h%onorably do otherwise
than %repudiate their action. They
went in to represent the people; they
came out representing themselves. In
contradistinction to their action we
point to the fact that not one of the
nominating committee of last nights
convention was suggested for nomina-
ton. This comparison Is a most pow
erfuI argument against the republican
portion of the union ticket-a union Of
the delegates to carry off the spoils.
A word may be said relative to the
democratic portion OF said union ticket:
The sentiment prevailed that no dis
tinction should be made, but that an
entirely new ticket should be nomi-
mated.
We find presented to the people Of Lar.
annie county a ticket evenly balanced
US to politics, and one around which
all good citizens can rally. By simply
doing their duty the voters can carry
the new ticket by such a majority that
the union nomination grabbers will be
buried too deep to hear the reverbera-
tions Of the shouts of victory that will
roll mp on next Tuesday evening for
the successful workingmen's and pso.
ple's ticket.
