THE OUTLOOK.

The candidates of both parties and
their friends, are hard at work fixing
traps into which the honest voter is
expected to fall on election day. Par
tisans on each side Of the political
fence claim that thoroughly consd-
cred estimate Of the votes to be polled
in each precinct, shows an undoubted
majority for their particular side. But
none of these estimates can be relied
on, as this section is too young, and
the voting population has increased
too rapidly in the past two years, to
permit Of reliable forecast of the
polls.
This much, however, is apparent;
and that is that the Democratic
strength is much greater than the Re
publican; and if the party lines were
strictly drawn there would be no show
for single Republican candidate. But
the Republicans have taken good care.
all through the campaign, to make a
non-partisan fight, and the Democrats.
not being aware of their own numeri-
cal superiority, have permitted the
Republicans to win over many old
'mossbaeks who, in a party fight, could
have been relied on to have followed
their leaders to an assured victory
1t is now too late for the Democrats te
correct this mistake, and the election
of some Of the Republican candidates
is inevitable.

The Work Progressing Rapidly -The
Sqnatters at ShOshone Willing to
Make Terms.


General +. +. Cunningham, man
ager of the O. S. l.. Forwarding Com
pany, got in from the end of the track,
yesterday, and reports work making
fair progress all along the line. The
kilpatricks have moved their main
camp down from Spring Creek
to within 10 miles Of Billing
!ey's, and established their base of
supplies there. General Cunningham
delivered them $4,000 pounds Of
freight there last week, and will bring
large amounts right along.
The contractors are short Of sup
plies all along the main line, but those
from the end of the track to HALEY
are kept supplied, in order that work
on the Wood River branch be not de-.
layed.
1t seems almost impossible that the
track can be laid to Haley this year;
but the contractors will strain every
nerve, make every effort, to have the
grade ready, 50 that if stormy weather
does not intervene, tracklasing may
be continued through when Shoshone
shall be reached.
General Cartee is at Shoshone get
ting in his water bitches, laying ont
the town, etc. The squatters or occu-
pants of the townsite will doubtless
make terms with the General, who
says he will be very reasonable with
them.
General Cunningham will remain
here until Monday, when he will leave
for down the road.

so6resdIiente, chief aids of Don Rafael;
the pastero, who looks after the
pastures; the caporal, who has principal
charge of the stock. These are officials
of humble order, dark, blanketed men,
bandit-looking enough on horseback,
but in reality as gentle as need be wished
for. The poems, or day-laborers, live in
about as poor condition as the Irish
peasants-except for having the advan-
tage in climate-receive from six to
thirty cents day for their labor,
and seem without either chance or am
bition to better themselves. There is a
prison-room at the mansion, where one
is occasionally locked up for couple of
days. Not that this is permitted by law,
but "they are not civilizated," as the
proprietor explains, in English which
still leaves something to be desired.
:" Nobody makes any disturbance about
it, and otherwise they would not work. -

Great Men Who Were Bachelors.

1t would be curious to discover in re-
gard to the worlds great mengwhether a
majority were married or single. Such
bit of information would prove moth
ing for or against marriages to the indi-
vidual of the present day, for the ques-
tions as to the advisability of getting a
wife must be determined by the circum-
stance of each particular case, but such
knowledge would be very interesting.
Among bachelor philosophers we find
that Boyle would not suffer his studies
to be interrupted by household affairs,
but lived with his sister. Newton,
Locke, Leibnitz and Hobbies, were un-
married. So were Gibbon, Hume, JON
son and Adam Smith. Montaigne, the
essayist, declared when widower that
he would not marry second time if it
were wisdom itself.
We find among the poets some who
have written most sentimentally in re-
gard to the tender passion, and yet who
have never welded. Racine, Boileau,
and Corneille may be mentioned in
French literature. Gay, who was
very learned man, was cold and fastidi-
GUS old bachelor. "He is supposed, :"
says one of his critics, "to have pos
sessed heart, but the best information
we can obtain does not inform us what
he did with it. The poet Collins is re-
ported to have been once in love; and,
as the lady was one day older than him
self, he used to say jestingly, that he
came into the world day after the fair. !"
He wrote an ode the passions, in which,
after dwelling on hope, fear, despair and
pity, he dismisses love with couple of
lines. Goldsmith died unmarried.
Shenstone was a clumsy looking man,
with disagreeable manner, and maybe
he was bachelor from necessity rather
than choice. There was lady who sup
posed herself to be the object of his
serious pursuit, but he never gave her
an opportunity of accepting or rejecting
him. Thomson, who wrote ''The sea-
sons" was devoted to his "Amanda "
through a long series of years, but some
destiny denied him domestic happiness.
Michael Angelo, the great painter, was
asked why he did not marry. He re-
piled: 81 have espoused my art, and it
occasions me sufficient domestic cares,
for my works shall be my children. %
A young artist who had just married told
Sir Joshua Reynolds that he was prepar-
ing to pursue his studies in Italy. The
great painter replied: married then
you are ruined as an artist"
