JOURNALISTIC ENTERPRISE.

II Representative WattersOn's pro-
posed journalistic copyright law were
actually in force at the present time,
the Boomerang of Laramie on Monday
afternoon could not have legally ap-
propriated the entire reading matter of
Its third page which consisted of the
acts of the legislature that received the
governors signature and which were
published for the first time in The
LEADER on Saturday morning and ex-
clusively 80 10y it on the day in question,
the Important work being thoroughly
done by its own special reporters, and
not the official legislative reporter.
The credit due the LEADER for its
m%eritorious enterprise in this direction
was not given by our contemporary
which so freely used our columns tn ill
its own with a few clips Of its shears.
AS it was, the Boomerang fell about
sixty hours behind the LEADER in pro-
mitigating the important information.
Hereafter, II the Laramie people desire
to get current news, fresh and reliable,
they can secure the same by consulting
the LEADER which seeks always to be
promptly on time regarding all news,
which interests the reading public of
Wyoming.

pECoRArED JUDICIARY.

4. In some of the eastern states an old
custom is being revived-that of plac,
ing black silk gowns upon the backs oil
the judiciary. The Pittsburgh Dis,
patch, commenting upon this scheme,
CURLY says: 1.-THE virtue of the black
silk gown is so highly estimated by
some of the legal brethren of eastern
part Of the state that it will be a
wonder IL before they get through they
do not propose the establishment of an
ultimate court, superiorl to our present
supreme court, to be composed of black
silk gowns with nothing inside OF them.
If they should claim that such a court
would be Of higher character than the
present court in It's everyday garb,
there might be room for disputing that
proposition. If black silk gowns will
improve the character of the judges, by
all means let the bench be draped. But
would it not be wise to try them where
there is most need for reformationp If
they can clothe the Pennsylvania legis-
lators with dignity and rectitude the
grand political arcanum will be dis
covered.n 1t was an old saying, and
one Of much wisdom in England, years
ago, that often-times there was more
in the powdered wigs of the judges
than in their hollow heads. So it may
be with silken gowns. People, now-a-
days, don't mistake hollow mockery
and fulsome show for profound learn
ing and upright action. d

1t is really fearful to read the ac-
counts of restitution existing in the
large cities among the working girls
and women who labor from early morn
till late at night for Il mere rittance-
hardly enough to keep soul and body
together. Is it any wonder that under
these baneful circumstances OF pinch
ing poverty that so many yield to the
seductive voice of the base tempter and
sell body and soul alike for food and
raimentp Were they to lay aside false
pride and emigrate to the far west
where female labor is greatly in de-
mand, they would find comfortable
homes and respectable positions. In
this important direction a needful
missionary work opens up wide for the
philanthropically inclined.

to sweep ~chimbleys when it's cold and windy,

out Their own chimbleys with a bundle of

Gently assumed regarding the resolu-
tions of regret passed upon the death
Of Lasker, the distinguished German
statesman. In its reiteration OF senti-
ment of sympathy with the parliament
OF the German Empire IN the demise
OF its illurtrious member, it shows its
respect for that body, while, at the same
time, it indicates most plainly that that

Economy and charity are alike com.
mendable qualities, and there is no
where that they can be SO advantage
ously practiced as at home. Some Of
our national senators, especially on
the republican side of the house, have
made a personal and practical applica-
ton of this principle Of political econ
omy by keeping public patronage in
their families through making their
wives. daughters, sisters and other
mems sisters their private secretaries
at six dollars a day. 1t seens unfair
that the government should be made to
foot the bill for the sisters and the
brothers the uncles and the aunts of
speculative senators.

The Turk, = EVIL Eye
[San Frnncisco Chronicle1

This fear OF the evil eye" is as strong
among the Turks as among the Italians and
in point of civilization much more becoming.
Like the Italians, they consider coral a pro-
lection against its i'll effects and every Turk
carries u piece of it about with him as a
charm. Not only this, but the superstition
extends to animals and products. The dom
keys and horses have necklaces of red coral
and strings Of turquoises twisted into their
tails. Pendants of coral hang from the grape
and vegetable baskets, and IL a Turk gets
wearing mad at his donkey and wants to
say the worst thing he can to him. he

tai nations are agitated as to the posi-

Russian official organs deny it, but the
evidence of an understanding between
