respectful in demeanor. The word was
spoken and the bodies suspended twenty
seven minutes before they were given into
the possession of relatives. These mel
murdered women they loved-one young
wife, bright, intelligent, in broad day light
on the public streets; the other harridan,
in den of gamblers, after midnight. They
suffered nearly alike, though the murderer
of the first, Eloi, suffered a little longer as
beftted the comparison.
Guillotte, who announced his intention to
make personal inspection of the streets
of the city. Numerous complaints had
reached him of neglect Of duty on the part
Of the city employees, and he would see for
himself, and if employees were found to be
| derelict he would proceed against them
| with all the powers conferred upon him
under the charter. Men read this with
amazement. Gould it be possible that the
Mayor had heard the complaints? Was he
actually going to see if the streets were very
dirty? This was just the newest thing out,
and they chuckled over it. Away off at Biloxi,
John Fitzpatrick, resting from his political
labors at Chicago, snuffed the dangers to
his Department, and over he came at once
to ride out with the Mayor. These two of
fetal worthless declared they had been vii
lainously imposed upon; the dear people
should be gratifed for once with clean
streets, and any ward hummer or election
slugger not well up in the discharge of his
duties as street cleaner, should promptly
give way for-another. At least, that is
the way practical folks interpret the situa-
ton, though it does seem that these officials
have capital chance to make fine record
and to earn the lasting gratitude of the
public. We have become SO used to reso-
lutions and promises to do something, that
any more of them are entirely superfuous.
The political nominations are quietly dis
cussed, and have aroused no heat or angry
passions to date. There are Conservatives
who will vote the Republican national tick
ct, but never under Custom-house leader
ship or an electoral ticket put in the field
by the present party management. Until
the way is made clear they will halt and
hesitate to break away from Democratic
social or political ties, and probably be sat
isfed to remain away from the polls on
election day. There are also independent
Democrats in State politics who will vote
for the regular national ticket, believing
their candidates to possess personal char
acter superior to the Republican nominees.
There is occasionally a workingman found
who will vote for Ben. Butler, if the other
parties do not monopolize all the electoral
tickets. Republicans are silent. They await
the call of leaders to organize and work ND
a canvass. ALI feel that we are beginning
close, warm and very interesting political
campaign. More anon.

Death of the Fatherof Cheap Postage.
Ex-Congressman John Hill, who will be
remembered as the Father of the Cheap Pos
tage bill, died at his home in Boonton, Nor
ris county, N. T., July "a, at the age Of
Ga. He was born in Catskill, N. Y, in 1921,
and in about 1874 he settled in Boonton, and
was elected from there to the State Assem-
bly, in 1S61-'62, and again in 1866, During
the latter term he served as Speaker of the
House. He was elected to the Fortieth,
Forty.frst and Forty-second Congress, his
last term ending 1883. He was frequently
mentioned in connection with the Republi-
can Gubernatorial nomination in New Jer-
sey. and was considered the foremost Re-
publican in the State. Mr.. Hill was inter
ested in postal reform and the question of
reducing postage for many years, and about
sixteen years ago, when he first entered Con
gress, he introduced bill to abolish the
ranking privilege. and after two years of
effort of hard work it was accomplished.
About the same time he introduced the one
cent postal card bill, and after two years or
more it was passed, against much oppo-
sition. In his remarks on those bills 1T that
time, in April, 1872, he advocated reduc-
ton in letter postage, considering the abo-
htion Of the franking privilege and adopting
the one-cent postal card stepping stones to
reduction in letter postage. After the Or
ganization of the House in December, 1881
ne introduced his two-cent' postage bill,
which was referred to the Post Office and
Post Road Committee, who delayed report
ing it to the House during the first session.
He called the attention of the House to the
bill, made several speeches on the subject,
and made every effort to get it before the
House for consideration. In November.
1882, he went to Washington to see Post
master General Howe and brought the
matter before him. He also called on the
President in regard to the matter, and
found him fayorably Opposed toward the
measure, and in his message to Congress a
few weeks later he recommended the re-
duction of the letter postage. Shortly after
the meeting Of Congress in December Mr..
Hill saw The chairman of the commit
tee of the Appropriation Committee on the
Post-Office appropriation bill. On We'd
nesday morning, after the third day, the
latter offered a resolution asking permits
sion OF the House to place the two-cent
postage measure in the POST Office appro-
'priation bill, which was granted, and on
the next day the Post Office appropriation
bill was reported from the committee in
the House, printed and brought before the
House in a few days for consideration.
A great many amendments to it we're 7 Of
fered, but after a long and tedious fight over
this clause. 1t passed, and finally the whole
bill passed, and, after long and bitter
opposition in the Senate, passed that body
on Friday, the day after the report of the
Post-office appropriation bill to the House
containing the two-cent postage clause.
MIR. Hill received many letters thanking him
for his.interest in the matter, and also from
associations and public bodies with resolu-
lions of thanks.

NEW ORLEANS, Aug. G, 1884.
The weather continues to be exceptiona-
bly, hot, day and night, to no slight discom-
fort of man and animal kind. But Prov
ldence always provides a necessary evil
with counterbalancing comfort, and we
have it in the assertion of doctors and drug
gists that times are very dull with them;
there is less of malaria, and al other des-
criptions of sickness than for many months
before this hot season.
Our Louisiana Congressman have come

election. They have had good time of it
In Washington, bring with them deep i'm

to go back for more Of them. Hon. Car
Teton Hunt was the only Democrat in the
lower House to vote against the Morrison
bill; the others of his party submitted meek
" to the whip cracked by Northern free
trade Democracy as of higher concern than
the immediate interests of their constit-
uents, which they were sent to Washington
to represent. Face to face with their con-
stituents they should be told that only
faithful Louisianians, in every sense of the
term, will receive the suffrage of the peo-
pie; they have been tried and found want
ing. They are very nice, bright, good fell

FRIDAY, July IS, was a beautiful day. The

two murderers. Victor Eloi and Kendrick

apparent cause other than the call made on arte-
sian supplies.
This fact is well worthy of attracting the atten-
ton of all thoughtful citizens. And yet shall
not deduce from it any stringent suggestions. i
shall not even say that, in order 10 keep the
present wells flowing, it ought to be forbldden to
bore any new ones. / shall simply say this much:
our subterreanean water supply ought to be looked
after, just as much as Is done for what Is stored
from our torrents, and some prudent measure
ought TO be taken at once to prevent its careless and
gy-eedy use and exhaustion. Let all those who
want arteslan wells Hse them, but do not allow
them to misuse them, as every drop in excess of
actual wants ought TO be treasured up.
therefore suggest, now that parliament Is in
session, that iao be passed, lately done in
California, with all due respect TO pirate rights
and TO proper use of private properties, but abso-
lutely forbidding the Of any artesan water.
1t is heart-sore for to think that even at the
present time not very far from town. several large
bored wells, principally owned by careless China
men, are allowed TO flow day and night, even when
not wanted for any irrigation purpose, and thus
pouring millions of gallons of our pnrest treasure,
good water, into the marshes or the sea.
Let, then, a law be passed at once for obliging
all artesian wells to be properly closed and capped
and for not allowing one drop to escape when not
actually needed: and let this law be enforced by
proper penalty. This action will have the hearty
support and appreciation Of all intelligent owners of
artesian wells. wanted two years ago such a law
TO be passed, as i foresaw and predicted the
danger, but the legislature was then too much alb
sorbed in more important { p matters, and Minis
ter Bush to whom made the blunder to confide q
Bill which had been drawn for that purpose, was
too indolent, too narrow minded and short-sigted
70 value its Importance and to present it or fight
for it. Since then, as just seen, the matter has
been slowly but steadily growing more marked. II
is, however, YET time but action must be taken at
once if we care to keep enough water to drink for
the years to come. A. MARQUES.

The important facts TO be deduced from the
above IS that between March and April last the
water first ceased decreasing then rose one inch
and half, on account of the heavy rains of that
period, but since, the decrease has resumed its
work with more alarming rapidity still, owing evil
IDENTIFY to the greater draft made by other wells.
Nov, the morale of the above sketch cannot be
denied since my first boring, the common sub
terenean reservoir from which all the wells around
town are drawing, is steadily shrinking down
under the constant tapping and as the number of
holes bored now stands, or, in other words, at the
rate the water is now allowed TO now out the de-
crease of this reservoir can be estimated actually
over two feet in height per annum. The Redundant
rains of certain wet seasons may bring some sup
ply back and the level may at times be raised back
little, but it never can regain the initial level
found when / started unless all the artesian wells
wefe closed up for several years, as 1t has been
found necessary to do in California; and the cause
of this rapid decrease can be traced direct to mis-
use, so many wells having been allowed sinfully
10 how for nothing, day and night.
Furthermore, If the boring of new wells is con-
tinued, each and every of them at this juncture
helping 10 diminish q little and to exhaust more
quickly the general supply, 1t could be mathema-
ticallyc calculated in how many years or months all
the wells except the lowest near the seashore will
cease flowing, as they have done in other and
larger countries, under similar circumstances.
This is very bad, but worse still can be expected.
Ny opinion, from close study, Is that the tapping
terreanean reservoir of flowing water but also the
supply of all of our natural springs.
Since the boring of my Pioneer well, and of the
others which followed IN my neighborhood, with
SO little discretion the supply of natural springs
behind us in MRnoa Valley, and Of the we'll known
and important Punahou Spring itself, have been
steadily and Hlarmingly decreasing, without any

A Party of Printers Take an Unpremed-
itated Bath.

1esterday afternoon a small party of
printers left the busy haunts of men and
wandering near the shores ofLake Mime
haha, suddenly decided to revel in the lux
uries of Il sail. A boat was near at hand,
SO into it they piled, and having settled
the matter as to who should manage the
vessel, away they went. They sailed for
the far distant shore on the opposite side,
made a graceful curve around the bend,
and pictured to themselves in glowing
terms the glories of a sailors life. This
is better than printing, said one. You

ing his head and sending all kinds of
bright stars flying around him, while a
third began to strike boldly out for the
shore, and would no doubt have managed
to swim there had he not stuck in the
mud. They all managed to get on dry
land in safety, and beyond a good soaking
were not much the worse for their adven-
ture. 1t was amusing for all but the vic
Tins, to see five or six men marching
down Sixteenth street with water oozing
out of their shoes and dripping from their
clothes, leaving quite a trail behind them.

cattlemen he has formerly worked for,
and so far from his having been arrested
by MIR. S%parhawk, or ever having loitered

as those published in the Sun, though
little read in this section of Wyoming,
are not calculated to further the ends of

Neglect OF School Treasurers to Publish
Their Anna Report.


The attention of those most directly
concerned is called to one section of the
law now in force in reference to the duties
of school district ~treasurers.
Section . of an act to amend an act,
entitled, An act providing for the organ
ization of school districts, schools and other
purposes which was formed at the
recent session ofthe Legislation, reads as
follows:
That section 46 of said act providing
for the organization of school districts
and for other purposes be amended as
follows: By adding to said section after
the word purpose the following words
to wit: "He shall cause to be published
In some newspaper Of general circulation
in the county wherein such school dis
trict is situated on the first week in July
of each year a full and true report of the
receipts and disbursements of said district
for the year next preceding such report.
Section 8 of the act provides that the
same shall take effect and be in force from
and after its passage.
1t is needless to say that the word ''he"
in section > means the school district
treasurer.

Why it is that the running of passenger
trains from Denver to Cheyenne, or per-
haps more properly speaking why it is
that No. 3 going Fast in the evening is
not held so that a connection can be made
whereby passengers from Denver and
other points South who desire to go East
can have an opportunity to do so, is more
than can readily be understood by an out
slider. As it is now, the passenger train
going East starts out just before the Den
yer train arrives, if it starts On time, which
gives no opportunity for those who come
to Cheyenne with a view of going East to
do so without laying over until the next
morning.

The set of standard scales which were
recently ordered by the County Commits
sioners arrived yesterday and were stored
in the Territorial Library room. The
whole set, independent Of the freight,
cost the county S40O, and the weight of
the whole outfit is more than a ton. In
fact there are more than a thousand
pounds of weights alone. Under the new
law the Assessor is made the tester of
weights and gets a fee of 25 cents each
time he is called upon to test a set Of
scales. In case he should be called upon
to test platform scales at Fort Laramie.
or some other distant point, he would
have to get a six-mule team to take the
standards along and would only get his
% cents for his pains.
