TERRITORIAL WANTS. S.-tieueTAl John {.

warrior who never fonght battle, the ora
tor who never made speech, the author

never proposed political measure, the
Pathfinder who was etcrnaliy losing his

He owes his position to the love NJ
HAYES bears to clever political hum5ass,
and TO his fondneSS for provldin. them VITA
positions that pay well for the small amount
Of service required. Gov. Fremont, IN his first
message to the legislature composed OF the
region OF deserts and peopled by sreasers and
tame Indians, recommends that congress be
asked to Appropriate: :s:'0I, Geo for theconstruc-
ton of roads, and IN unlimited amount for the
development of agriculture and horticulture
by means OF Introducing Al extensive system
of irrigation Mr. John ". Hoyt, whose
career has been very similar to that OF the
grea. Pathfinder" and WHO is low enjoy
ing the perquisites OF the office OF governor
OF the territory of Wyoming, also desires a
liberal appropriation for the arid wastes re-
Gently deserted by the Sioux. Ia a report
10 the secretary OF the interior he recommends
the building of one railroad from Cheyenne
to the Black Hills, and another from some
point Oh the Union Pacific To the national
parks on the Yellowstone river. Tnen he
desires the construction of some twenty
wagon or post roads to different places ~
the Territory, some of which he has VISITED
and Others he has heard OF and believes that
they could he found if searched for. Then
in order to have something 70 transport over
these roads he recommends carrying out
system OF irrigation. To protect the persons
engaged on these public works he wants sev-
eral regiments of soldiers. He also wishes
free schools supported for the benefit Of the
indians. There arc several Territories Yet
to hear from in the matter ot congressional
appropriations. and it is presumed their
wants are fully equal to those OF Arizona
and Wyoming Chicago Times.
