the territorial Library.

According to the report Of the terri
torial librarian, the number OF volumes
reported to the fourth legislative as
sembly was 3,0l1; 10 the fifth legisla-
tive assembly, 3,796; to the sixth legis-
lativo assembly, 5,233; to the seventh
legislative assembly, 6,6S7; the present
number is $3.50. The foregoing figures
show an increase in the last two years
Of one thousand eight hundred and
seventy volumes. A small percentage
of the whole number are pamphlets,
Though maps and charts are included,
such is not the case with the laws and
public documents of Wyoming. An
insurance of ten thousand dollars IL
carried upon the library, but a recon-
mendation is made to place it at fifteen
thousand. The appropriation for the
purchase Of books for the library was
increased TO twelve hundred dollars by
the seventh legislative assembly, the
whole amount Of which has been ex-
pended under the direction of the
judges of the supreme court. 1t is sug-
gested that in a territory like Wyoming,
where so many Of the people are inter-
estea in the development of the precious
metals, coal, soda, oil, ETC., simple JUS
tice would suggest that books contain
ing the best and most advanced thought
on geology and mineralogy. together
with the best scientific works on all
kisGred subjects, shouE be found In

is common to rich men. At one time old
Faulkner, arrayed in his ugly homespun, the
tops of his trousers tucked into the tops Of
his great red cowhide boots, stalked into the

looking about him a moment, carefully Sc
lected a table at which were seated a number
of elegantly dressed ladies, and planted him
self in a chair by their side, and in a stentor-
ian tone summoned a waiter. Instantly the
ladies, with noses elevated to an angle of

THE DEMOCRACY rn,unruANT.

The selection of Chicago by the dem
ocratic national committee as the place
Of holding the presidential convention
is strongly indicative of the nomina-
tion of a candidate from some n of
the northern states; yet, at the same
time, fully acceptable to all sections of
our common country. Then, too, the
fixing of the date Of assembling on July
8, a considerable distance later In the
season than that of the republican con-
vention, is a matter of forethought and
wisdom which will amply prove its salu-
tary effect. The chickering's, mistakes,
dis~sstisfactions and disaffections of the
rowing radicals, will, by that time, have
become pretty well ventilated and very
generally understood. Consequently,
the democracy a greatly preht by
their opponents shortcomings. Then,
too, a brief campaign is more likely to
be sharp, decisive and successful. The
popular vote of the country has long
been democratic, and each successive
year, 1t has gained surely ana suDstan-
tally. There is no question that it
will /: properly m%arshaIled unto a
great and glorious victory. A long
lease OF power has made the republicans
bsseiy corrupt. Holding the reins OF
the national government for nearly a
quarter of century, by means both
fair and foul, the people are disgusted
and arrayed against its further i'm
proper exercise of place and power.
We firmly believe that the democratic
convention will make nominations
highly acceptable to the people Of every
portion of tho country. Let us one
and all rejoice at the prospect of a
change of administration at Washing
ton, which really means, in the most
comprehensive sense, retrenchment and
reform In the affairs of the nation.
