lhe assessments throughout the terri
tory have increased wonderfully during
the past year. Laramie county's valua-
ton has been increased by 81, 150,0 900.
Johnson, Carbon and Albany counties
have each been increased by about half
a million dollars, while the assessed
valuation of Uinta county has been
almost doubted.
These facts and figures are very
creditable to the territory, and its coun-
ties all showing evidences of prosperity
which cannot be mistaken. The excel
lent work of the board needs no COM
ment.

the following announcement: 1.-THE
visit of Mr.. Wilde to this country has
been an event of great interest this
season. He came here chiefly to show
the beginning, growth and real aim Of
the so-called aesthetic movement in
England, of which he is by common
consent considered to be a leader. He
has carried out this purpose by deliv-
ering an address entitled The English
Renaissance devoted mainly to an
exposition of this new social move
ment. This address has been listened
to by the largest lecture audiences
which have been seen since the days Of
Charles Dickens, and has awakened a
wide interest in the poet and his topic,
an interest which is daily becoming
stronger. At the suggestion of many
friends, he has prepared a second
lecture, devoted to what may be called
the practical application Of his theory
to everyday life, being the principles
of aesthetic art as applied generally to
the wide range of art ornamentatiOn,
and includes remerks upon the present
phase of decorative art in America as
observed during an extended tour of
four months continuous travel"

Common Sense Conversations
with Common Sense Hen.

In yesterdays issue, in an interview
on.the city debtquestion With MI. l. N.
ApprOpOs, the answers to questions
put were about as relevant as Wilde
ism is to practical common sense The
interviewer laid aside his brass cheeks
to-day but retained his ~corkscrew, and
had q common sense talk with q num-
Der Of solid citizens on the subject in
hand.
Major NJ. Burke and other gentle
men Of like standing gave expression
to the following sentiments, which
have been all grouped together, with
out reference to the author of any
particular sentence:
I'm the FIRST place, it is we'll known
the Legislature cannot look any fur
Their ahead than two years, when levy.
ing a tax for any purpose, and it is a
grave question whether or not the
bondholders will accept a compromise
based upon such an uncertainty.
One gentleman said, Most of those
bonds costthe holders little more than
twenty-five cents on the dollar. Such
holders argue that unless they can be
certain beyond the possibility of a
doubt that they are secured forever by
whatever compromise they make, they
will not think Of entering into any
agreement but will fight the matter
out in the courts. They don't care
anything about struggling Memphis"
only so leng as she a kick strong
enough to make them a few dollars.
They are sueing for the face of the
bonds in the courts, and l tell you
they would rather lose their invest
ment of twenty-five cents on the dollar
than accept a compromise which de.
pended upon the caprice Of Tennes-
see Legislature. A State is sover-
oign, and there is no law to compel
her to levy a tax for any purpose.
Now suppose they would be willing to
fifty cents on the dollar, with
xix per cent interest, what assurance
have they that the Legislature will
Ievy a tax to pay the interest after the
first two years? Another question is,
the Legislature pass a bill in
accordance with an agreement which
nay be made between the recent COM
of fifteen and the bondholders?
The resolutions passed last Saturday
lid not say that the Legislature should
De asked to pass a bill in accordance
With such agreement, though the in
ierence is that way"
Another gentleman said:
ITO the careful reader there is alb
nothing in the resolutions
passed by the meeting held last Satur-
lay in the County Courtroom, which
promises a speedy adjustment Of the
,ity debt. The whole aim of the
Meeting is perverted by one clause in
he resolutions, which r~ecites that
he Taxing District or its people shall
no way be held responsible for the
lebt. The question naturally arises,
Who, then, is to be held responsible2
Not the committee of fifteen, GER
What more power have they
issue bonds than any other fifteen
,itizens, and the bonds once issued,
What power have they to levy a tax to
pay the interest upon them? If the
resolutions had provided that the
ponds might be issued by the Legis-
alive Council, when a satisfactory
compromise had been obtained by the
with the bondholders, the
way would be easy; but hat is pre-
,isely what the resolutions say shall
lot be DONE"

of this country and Europe, are the most
reliable news gatherers to be had, and the
history Of each days events will be faith
fully recorded and presented to the public
through the Enquirer, free from distortion
or prejudice.
The province Of newspaper is TO record
facts TO separate truth from ialschoOd. How
well the Enquirer has succeeded in this
duty,wc feel pardonable pride in referring
to its files and past record for evidence of
its ability and thOroughness in presenting
all matters treated upon in their true light.
The people of this age require a paper fully
abreast OF the times, COequal in enterprise,
and material advancement in all mercantile
and political interests, such will the
Enquirer continue to be- Candor and fair
ness will be accorded to all questions and
parties, but the facts will never be perverted.
The immediate future has in store matters
OF grave interest TO all, and the general
welfare will largely depend upon the
influences of those who are fully couversant
with the facts occurring and To occur. The
policy of the government but partially
developed by the New Administration, was
fast winning the confidence of the people,
when the hand Of the assassin placed control
ufatairs in charge of faction whose leaders
have not at all times received favorable criti-
cisins for their public acts What the future
policy is to be, will be foreshadowed during
the first year Of President Arthur's admins

The Cnnllieh President.

Last Thanksgiving day the table of Presi-
dent Arthur was graced by some butternut
candy, which an excellent and venerable
maiden lady of Vermont had made with her
own hands, and sent TO him as a pleasant
reminder Of the days of his boyhood. The
kind-hearted President acknowledged the
favor in graceful note, which, of course,
was printed in the local paper of the village
where the lady lived, and thence copied into
many journals. in various parts of the
country At once a supply of confectionery
began to poor into the White House con-
fectioners sent it, hoping for a letter from
the Prtsi lent to display in their show
windows. School girls and ladies of un-
certain age, with hundreds of school boys,
sent candy, each fondly hoping to receive in
return the coveted autograph of the Presi-
dent. 1t has been asserted that more than
ton of confectionery has been received at
the White House during the winter and
spring.

ONE WEEK FROM tomorrow the city cleo
ton takes place, and the people of Whining
ton will be called upon to renew the battle
with the corrupt "City Ring" whose control
of city affairs in the past was marked by ex-
trayagance, official corruption and reckless
expenditure of the public money for party
purposes. This is the record the "Ring"
has to offer in exchange for the decent,
clean administration the city has enjoyed
for the past three years, and If the people
are desirous of this kind of a change they
