The Real Question of the Campaign.

The Real Question of the Campaign.
 To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
 The question is who will triumph at the next election, the workingmen or their ene- mics. On one side England and her inter ests backed up by the American admirers of everything English, importers of foreign goods and salaried professors of colleges the latter thinking they could buy provisions cheaper and knowing hired help would cost but half what it does now, they would have more money to splurge on at home and spend in Europe-also few large manufacturers who having grown rich under the high tariff would now turn round and kick the ladder down on which they rose lest some one else might make money. Such men always have an eye to cheap help. With free trade they would get it (mark that. Arrayed against the above are the working and business men and their interests. There never was a time when they had more at stake than now. The next election is big with results to them and their children's children. Do they realize it? Thank God they have the power. Will they use it aright? Will they vote to take care of their own interests or will they vote for England's free trade bant- ling; vote to bring down their wages one half; vote to work twelve or fifteen hours per day, as the writer of this has done; vote to just enough to exist but not to live men ought to live? Working and business men, the issue is with you. I leave you to answer the above questions at the polls next November. I have faith in you, and believe your answer will be both right and manly Only remember that the power is in your own hands. MECHANIC.

Alfred E. Camp, of Meriden, drove to Gull ford the other day, and while he was putting out his horse horse in the next stall reached over and seized him by the back of the neck, holding him for some time, and finally drop 11ino, him on the floor. He is recovering well, but the physicians say that if the horse had seized him two inches away it would have caused death on the spot.

Railroad building has made great progress in Germany during the last seventeen years. Seventeen years ago there were in the Ger man empire three hundred towns, with pop ulations of between 5000 and 10000, which were without railroad accommodations. In 1880 the number of such towns was only one hundred and thirty-two. Of towns hay ing populations of between two thousand and five thousand there are in the empire 1875, of which only four hundred and sixty eight had any railroad accommodation seventeen years ago. By 1880 the number of towns so provided had risen to nine hundred and thirty-two.

The difficulties with which the Russian provincial authorities have to contend in their efforts to stamp out the cattle plague are serious. The plague is spreading in the government of Samara. In order to arrest its ravages commission was recently dis
 patched to Nicolaievsk consisting of veteri- mary officer, police officers and servants-the latter as slaughterers. The peasantry assem- ibled in large numbers at the place appointed by the commission near the town. Here large trenches were excavated for the recep-
 tion of the carcasses of the infected and slaughtered animals. By the veterinary off
 cer's command the cattle of the neighbor- hood were driven into an extensive enclosure.
 So far the various herdsmen and owners showed no inclination to interfere. The ex- animation of the cattle proceeded, and al ready three animals had been condemned, slaughtered and their carcasses cast into the
 pits, when an extraordinary crowd of fren- zied peasant women advanced from the town
 making horrible clangor with all sorts of kitchen utensils Behind the women came the men, armed with freirons, bludgeons, fails, spades, etc. The proceedings of the
 commission were stopped, and the veterinary officer and his followers barely escaped with their lives from the enraged multitude The women openly bewailed the escape of the of fcers, whom they swore they had intended to tear to pieces.

A Foolish Fraud.

"You would be surprised" said n
postoflie official recently, 'if you could
know now frequently stamps are used
a second or even n third time. And
what IS the most surprising thing about
it is there is no profit for the person US
inc stamp the second time, as it re-
quires more than two cents worth of
application and ingenuity to clean n
stamp; but the loss to the Government
is very considerable would be con-
tent to receive u sum equivalent to that
stolen from the department every year.
in this way for my salary. Postoilice
clerks by long practice become veIy
familiar with the appearance of good
and bad stamps. They acquire per-
haps the same degree of ability in the
detection of the irregularities as do
clerks who handle money, but in large
offices there are so many letters, and
the work of cancelling is of necessity
so rapid that very few chances are Of
fered for detection. 1t is only when
letters are deposited in offices where
the mail receipts are small that there
is any considerable danger of detec-
ton of using stamps a second time.
But the use cannot be profitable, pack
ages or heavyweight letters having
sufficiently large postage stamps on
them to justify their cleansing for a
second use are subject to somewhat
rigid inspection and fraud can be de-
tected. As | said, however, the use of
smaller stamps second time is large
enough to make quite a hole in the de-
partment funds. H-AcW orleans Times

Mr.. IrviDe's bill for a militia law.
which is now pending in the council,
is regarded as a good one and ought, as
it undoubtedly will, pass that body and
also the house Of representatives, by d
decided vote. This bill provides for the
organization Of one or more militia
companies in this territory, which are,
after such organization and equipment,
to be subject to the call OF tho COVER
nor whenever any important emergency
arises, and In the meantime, are re-
quired to muster and drill on stated
times and occasions. A sum not to ex-
coed $4,000 is to be set apart for this
purpose, and annually, hereafter, such
q limited sum, such as the wants and
needs OF the service may require. As
is well known, congress annually ap-
propriates a reasonable sum to be di-
vided among tie different states and
territories for this purpose, and at this
time a bill is pending in the house OF
representatives at Washington, to ap-
propriate 5000, 900 for this purpose
Wyoming, if it has an organized mill
tia, will get her proportion of this sum,
and from year to year 1t would probably
require but very little, except what is
derived from the general government,
to support and maintain an organiza-
tion of this sort. 1t may be said that
Wyoming has no need of a militia, but
we submit that, in view of the lawless-
ness that frequently breaks out within
our borders, and Is more likely to in
crease than to diminish in degree and
frequency, whether 1t Is not best to be
prepared. so that prompt and decisive
action can be had when the unfortu-
uate occasion arrives.

Mr.. Cahill Of the Laramie county
delegation, has introduced in the house
Of representatives u bill for an act
exempting Hremen from the payment
of a poll tax and also from service as
jurors. The bill of course contemplates
and includes only members OF FIRE COM
panies who are In good and regular
standing in some regularly arranged
company in this territory. This is a
easur that should receive the careful
and favorable consideration of our leg
Islature, and we apprehend that In pre-
senting this bill which they do through
the gentleman alluded to the Hremen
Of this territory feel that they are ask
ing no more than what they are Justly
entitled to.
The public are greatly indebted to
this class OF citizens for the faithful
service which they render in case OF
fire, and on many occasions the city OF
Cheyenne, at least, would have been al.
most totally wiped out of existence had
1t not been for the faithful services OF
the gallant volunteer nre department,
the members Of which have periled
their lives and personal safety, that the
property OF or people and also in nu-
merous cases the lives Of others. a,
well as the city itself, that the disas-
tiers to life and property might be ar
rested. What is tru of the Cheyenne
department Is also true of the iremen
in every city and town in the territory
wherein exists a fire department. As
the 6remen are volunteers, getting not
n cent Of pay for their great and
invaluable services, we apprehend that
they are not asking too much in wha,
they demand by the passage of this bill.
&c ntlemen OF the legislature give theiI
claims a fair hearing and a generous
consideration.

season at the home of the far-famed

extended tour Of the continent is to
eusue, after which Miss Swan and
Miss Trsbing will take a course or two
of schooling In n or more OF the best
educational institutions which are
noted for their advantages Of polite
culture and sound learning. After
viewing the many novel and interest
ing sights Of the eastern continent,
Mr.. and Mrs. Swan and their son
Willie, will recross the ocean and return
to this city, arriving about June
l. During their absence, they
will be greatly missed. Upon de-
parting last evening. they were
accompanied to the train by a
select circle OF ladies and gentlemen.
A pleasant voyage was the frequent
and hearty greeting of friends, al the
ponderous locomotive with its well-fll'
ed train moved s%nortingly away. In
the eyes OF some of the friends stood
great, genuine tears, through the sorrow
begotten by the thoughts OF a prolong-
ed parting. In the social circles OF
this city the presence Of Mr.. Swan and
bis interesting family will be greatly
missed, as also that Of Miss Trabing.

More of the Educational neasure.

Yesterday afternoon in the house Of
representatives, the education bill was
again taken up for consideration. Mr..
Coad moved that the consideration OF
this bill (Mr. Smith's) be made the
special order for Friday next. This
motion at once called u several mem .
bers and quite a discussion ensued, in
which Messrs. Coad, Teschemacher,
Smith. Groesheck. Miller, Craig, Ford,
Nickerson aud Grant and others par
~ticipated, aud after considerable de-
bate in which there was more OIL less
sharp shooting, Mr.. Coad withdrew his
motion.
On motion of Mr.. Nickerson, the
house then resolved Itself into COM
mlttee of the whole-Mr. Snider In the
chair, for the purpose of further con-
sidering this sane bill.
After a few sections of the bill had
been read by the clerk which of course
had the effect of participating another
division, the committee, tired Of the
subject, and on motion arose at
half past three having practically &C.
complished nothing. Some Of the MEM
bers of the house last evening expressed
theIopinion that both educational bills
were practically dead.

tent, barren of results. In the council
the consideration OF the water bill was
resumed and again Messrs. Holiday,
Bsbbitt. Warren, Irvine, Whittier and
Quinn engaged in frequent aud ami
mated discussions OF the bill, but, as
will be seen by our official report, moth
ing practically was accomplished. ex-
cept the matter of an interchange of
views. The bill now goes back into
committee. Messrs. BAbbitt, Ben
nett and Quinn, constitute the COM
mittee ca territorial andinternal affairs.
The bill is to be made the special
order for Tomorrow at 2 p. In. In the
