THE BUFFALO MAIL ROUTE.
The Importance Of Moving In the Wat
ter of Securing II.

The LEADER on Sunday contained an
mail service on the route from Rock
Greek to Buffalo, and urged upon the
people the necessity of moving at once in
a way which will tend to secure a change
of this route so that Cheyenne may be
come the point from which the mail shall
depart instead of Rock Creek, as at pres
ent. The suggestion is now renewed,
and The LEADER would again most
earnestly recommend that some of the
p~ublic-spirited citizens prepare and circu-
late a petition among the people here and
obtain as many signatures thereto us pos
sible, asking that this mail route be
changed as has been suggested. No in
justice is done to the people or the town
of Rock Creek in taking such a step for
if that point is not the proper one for the
departure Of the mail for Buffalo then it
cannot expect to hold it. That the route
from that point to Buffalo has been tried
and found wanting none better than the
people of Buffalo know and they with a
unanimous voice have pronounced it n
failure and are demanding that Il change
be made. To extend the mail route from
Fort Laramie north and westward to Buff
falo is all that is necessary to do. Let
Cheyenne wake up to this matter, for to
quote the words of n leading citizen of
Buffalo to a LLADER reporter yesterday

CROSSING sweePeRs.
An EnEIIshmnn Thinks Them n yuI-
sancc in New York


New York SUM-
An Englishman, carefully picking his steps
over a muddy crossing on Cortlandt street,
was surprised to SEQ a boy hastily tap the
stones before him with q short broom, and
then petition for a reward for his labor. A
few steps further on he was amazed to find
tho performance repeated by a second boy,
and just as he was about to step upon the OPP
posite idewalk he was astonished to witness
the same performance again.
Now, this" said the Englishmau to a
friend. "is not the right sort of thing at all,
you know. Not only are three boys trying
TO make q living out of one short crossing,
but they hardly make even a pretense of do
ing their work. Now, they manage these
things better in London. There a good
crossing yields a handsome income to its
sweeper. He works steadily on all day,
keeps his crossing very clean and never asks
anybody for a penny. Ofcourse, for one who
gives him anything, 200 cross the street with
out putting their hands into their pockets,
but he has his regular everyday patrons,
who give him a halfpenny, and at night he
has made more than the average clergyman
earns in the same time.
"a good crossing could hardly be bought
for 600, but u purchaser has it for life, and
need not DO afraid Of any Interference or
rivalry, for it is an unwritten law among
the crossing sweepers that one shall never
encroach upon another's field of enterprise.
They-buy from and sell to zach other, and
tho corporation has nothing to do with the
matter.
~The owner OF u crossing cannot bequeath
1t to his heirs. His right to it dies with him,
and the first person who touches his broom
after his death has the right to take his place
and profits. As crossing sweepers, like other
men, usually die in their own beds, the
brooms are apt to be first touched by their
sons, or other near relatives; but 1t has more
than once happened that Il stranger, picking
up the broom fallen from the hand of a
sweeper who was killed or dropped dead ct
his crossing. was surprised to find himself in
possession of a handsome property"

it appeared in THE LEADER. The Boom
,eran9 individual should understand by
this time that THE LEADER is no Jim
Crow newspaper establishment that pub
fishes its news at second hand. 1t should
further have the honesty to not attempt
to shift a responsibility upon us which

THE intellectual giant who wields the
editorial goose quill ron the Laramie
Boomerang has the hardihooi to assert
that The LEADER garbled a telegram
from Chieagoih order to score a point
against the Republican party. The tele-
gram in question was one in relation to a
secret meeting of the Republican Nation
AL League in Chicago in which it was de
cided to endeavor to influence Irish voters
from the Democratic party with such
twaddle as that free trade, as advoca-
ted by the Democrats, was an English
measure Originally. The s~perversion al
legged by the Laramie concern consisted in
emitting to state that it was the Irish Nat
ional Republican Leagno. instead of sim
ply the Republican National League. As
the telegram was received here through
the Associated Press, it reads precisely as
it was published in this paper. There
was no attempted perversion on our part,
which is amply attested by the fact that

The Territorial committee of the Demo
cratic party, of Wyoming, will meet in
this city on Thursday. The principal
matter of business to be transacted is as TO
sending delegates to Chicago. Hereto
fore the Territorial committee has made
the selections to the satisfaction of the
party. Since the Territorial delegates to
Democratic National conventions have no
votes, but are simply admitted to the
floor by courtesy, there is no strife for the
places. Indeed, it has only been in the
last call issued by the National committee
of the party that Territories were invited
to send delegates TO a National eonven-
ton. This much was secured by the
persevering work of Delegate Post, who
is a member of the National committee.
Mr.. Post has made the acquaintance and
friendship of all of the leading Democrats
in Congress and hence was in a position
to influence the inclusion ofthe Territories
in the call mentioned.
8Forthese reasOns it were well to send
Mr.. Post as one of the delegates from
Wyoming to Chicago. With his many
advantages he could contribute vastly
toward securing the Territories two votes
each in the convention. Hence many of
the leading Democrats of this Territory
desire TO send Mr.. Post AS one of the
delegates to the convention. No one, so
far, has opposed the proposition, and,
indeed, no one seems to be actively work
ing for the place, so that, Judging from
present indications Mr.. Post will be
elected as a delegate without opposition,
This will be received with satisfaction by
the, party at large, because of the salts
factory service Mr.. Post has rendered the
people in Congress; because of his success
in having the Territofies recognized in the
National call; and because Of his oppor,
%tinities for assisting in obtaining the
right to vote to Territorial delegates.

We have found some fault with the tardiaess fl the Chairman in calling the convention. His excuse Is that Le desired to get the sense cf tEe commit tee as to where and when they desired the ooavention held. We have no fault to liad with llat acti,a, ia fact it was the proper thing to lo; he floods aud washoats came about the time the cfrcaiir letter was sent out to the mem- bers O. the committee and they and their replies were delayed.

CUR morning contemporary thinks we
 quoted 1t wrong when We said that that
 paper seems to think that the testimony
 of the hanged .uur2ereFs IS conclusive
 as to the innocence of HeIth. If we
 had had any doubt in the first instance
 that tbe editor of the paper believed as
 stated above heretofore, we now thInk
 that hs believes entirely in the inno- oenee of Heith-believes the assertion
 of the murderers; if he believes them in the case of Heith, he must believe them ia the case Of all the rest; for in the next breath in which they declared their own innocence they scclared Heith's innocence; If they wers truthful in enc instance, they were truthful in the otter. If our cotemporary is not careful ii will become the defender of outlaws, and we should be sorry If 1t did. The outlaw class of this Territory has got such a ''back-set" n the last few months that, if followed up vigorously, 1t will never regain. There Is not a Territory or State in tlis Union freer of crime to-day than Arizona; there is not a State or Territory where murderers and outlaws receive punishment so quickly as in Arizona. Every lover of law and order should enoeavor to strengthen the arm of the law and the law abiding people rather than weaken t. T. is not a question of Heith's inoo- cence now. He has been tried, couvic- ted, found guilty and hanged. and it is urayement to the lswless to defend | him or, at this stage of the game, throw doubt upon his guilt. Heith was as- suredly guilty, and should have per ished on the seaffold with the rest, not hanged by the mob. We depreeate such acts, and hope it may not occur again. The law in this Territory to-day Is ample, and the judges and people are in favor of carrying out the spirit and letter of the law, and all attempts ct mobocracy are wrong and should be re- s sisted by the law-sbiding people.
