BIZ Nye Will Resign.

At the next term Of the District
Court We shall resign the Office OF
United States Commissioner fer this
judicial district, an office which We
have held so long and with such great
credit to ourself. Fearing that in
the hurry and rush of other business
'ur contemporaries might overlook the
matter, We have consented 10 meution
briefly the fact that at the opening of
court Jud, e Blair will be called upon
10 accept the resignation of one of our
most tiled and true officials, who has
for SO long held up this corner of the
great national fabric.
1t has been our solemn duty to ex-
anime the Greaser who sold liquor 10
our red p, other and filled him up with
the deadly Juice of the sourmash tree.
1t has devoived upon us to sinch the
soft-eyed lad who stole baled hay from
the reservation, and il has also been
sur glorious privilege to examine 10 q
preliminary manner The absent minded
parry wbs gathered unto himself the
United States mule.
We have attempted TO resign before
but failed. One reason was that il
was novel proceeding in Wyoming
and no one seemed to know how
to go to work at it. No one had ever
resigned before and the matter had 10

understood
The Office is ore of great profit, as
we have said before. 1t briggs
wealth into the Golfers of the United
States Commissioner in a way that is
we'll calculated to tu.n the head of
most people. We have, however,
succeeded 10 controlling omseIf, and
and have so far suppre >sed that beas'-
~ pride which wealth esgenders.
With salary $7.25 per apnum, and
lead pencils. We have steadily refused
70 go to Europe, prefer'ing rather to
plod along here ia the Wild West, al
though We may never see The beauties
of a foreign shore.
Official duty was at all times weigh
ing upon our mind like a leaden load.
OFT in the Silly night We have been
wakeoedby the expressing thought that
that moment, on some distant reserva-
lion some paIe-faced villain might be
selling valley tan to the gentle, untu-
.oced Indian brave, and it has tortured

Now it is q relief 10 now that very
soos We shall be free from this great
responsibility. Ifan Indian gets drunk
