Correspondence in the Philadelphia Press.
A member of the official corps of the
Ocean hotel was last season the hero of
quite an interesting romance. The
young fellow completely captivated a
beautiful girl from the interior of the
state of New York. Her parents were
very wealthy and were spending the
season at the Ocean. The clerk was
tolerated by mamma and allowed to
escort the daughter on the avenue and
promenade, and he made himself very
agreeable in various other ways.
Finally, toward the close of the season
the parents returned home, leaving the
interesting daughter to tarry a week or
two longer at the seaside, as she seemed
to enjoy it so much. They had not
been home long Def ore they received a
message stating that the lovely maiden
had left the hotel, and that the nice
young clerk had suddenly disappeared
about the same time. OF course the
solicitous parents were thunder-struck
at this revelation, and detectives were
Immediately employed to discover, if
possible, the whereabouts of the loving
couple. After a day or two of sus-
pense a letter was received from the
daughter stating that she had married
the clerk, and that they were then
sojourning at the home Of his, parents
in an interior New Hampshire town.
Then letters of forgiveness followed
from the parents, as they do in novels,
and the loving couple paid the old folks
a visit, when a final reconciliation fol-
lowed. The ex-clerk was given a posi-
ton in his father-in-law's business, and
soon ingratiated himself into the old
gentleman's esteem and favor. After
q lapse of a few shorts months the en-
terprising youth was left Il small for
tune by the death of a female relative
of his family, and at last accounts the
young man and his bride were the
favorites of a large circle of friends.

Following are extracts from an edi-
torial article published in the Omaha
Bee last Friday
"Wyoming no doubt has materially
improved in public morals during the
past ten years. The first settlers that
came with the railroad were largely
made of roughs, cut-throats, highway
men and Adventures. This class
scattered further into the mountains
and given place to more reputable peo-
pie. But woman suffrage had no bear
ing whatever on this change. When
Cheyenne ceased to be the headquarters
for the grand army of teamsters, miners,
Indian scouts and railroad builders,
the dance houses, gambling hells and
bawdy houses ceased to flourish and
consequently these roughs and sporting
people folded their tent and scattered. "
II.
"We have taken pains to ascertain
the true state of facts from partiesswho
have lived in Wyoming for years, and
they tell:us that wy oming has in no
way been benefited by female suffrage.
On the contrary it has become "a source
of greater corruption and immortality.
There are as many gambling hells and
resorts of vice in Wyoming as the
present population can conveniently
support. There are as many saloons,
and there is as much bad whisky drank
in Wyoming as in any section of country
with an equal population. The votes
of women have not stopped or decreas-
ed drunkenness, gambling or prostitu-
tion."
The respectable women voted the first
year or two and some of them vote &C.
casionally now. The bad are always on
hand at elections, but they come to the
polls in magnificent carriages and are
treated to chamagne and cigarettes at
the expense of the candidates. And
the candidate most in favor with them
and their pimps have the inside track.
Hence, men of loose character are a
power in Wyoming politics. Those are
the stubborn facts which Governor
Hoyt has not taken into account, but
which Nebraskans must consider before
they take the proposed new departure
in extending the right of suffrage to
women"
In a measure the statements of the first
paragraph are correct. Some business
men of the Cheyenne of 1SGT-70 are
still here. But with that exception the
population of old Cheyenne has gone
away. The city, far from being a
headquarters for thieves and roughs, is
so quiet that men and women of that
class nowadays @sstay here only long
enough to beg the money to pay theil
way home to Omaha.
IL the Bees first paragraph isFtruth,
how can the second be so? 1t looks at
if the writer was sober at the time
paragraph I. was written, but by the
time he reached paragraph II. he saw
things in a different light.
In paragraph Ill, there are more
lies than letters. One can imagine the
the sources of the Bee writer's infor.
nation on reading it. 1t is likely he has
been running with some ''loose charac.
ter" who has been boasting of being s
''power in Wyoming politics."
In comparing the majority of com
munities, their newspapers are com
prised in the estimate. There is not a
newspaper in Wyoming whose manage
ment would permit such a gross and
lying attack on n neighboring commu-
nifty as was contained in the Bee.
