The board of county commissioners
held a special meeting yesterday. There
were present Chairman Hoyt, Commits
sioners II. B. Kelly and |. C.. Whipple.
The main business which occupied the
attention Of tho board was to make ar.
rsngements for the transfer of Thomas
Mayer to the insane asylum at Jackson
vile, ILL.,, he having been ~adjudged in
sane by a jury which heard the testimony
in his case in the probate court. The ar
engagements TO that end were perfected,
and Mayer will be started on the road to
the asylum to-day.
Some other matters Of business were
also considered by the board, but nothing
of any particular interest was done. The
board INDUCED in considerable informal
discussion regarding several matters of in
terest to the county, and there was some
consideration given to the subject of re-
bates in taxes, for which there are still
quite a number of applications pending
before the board. The Crook county tax
difficulty was also referred to, but no new
developments were made regarding this
question. Laramie county has been paid
the tax by Mr., Hammond, but offers to
pay over one-halt of it to Crook county.
the authorities of which. however, refuse
to accept the proposition, but claim and
demand the whole of it, on the ground
that the Hammond ranch is in Crook
county. Our authorities. however, claim
as was stated by Tue LEADER some days
ago, that the ranch is in Laramie county,
and will therefore not yield to the de-
mands of Crook.

In France there are publishing firms
that have no time to urn out anything
but almanacs, and this fall there are
more than ever. The almanac for
mothers is one that mothers could not
be expected to do without, and the al
manac for daughters is presumably not
to go into the hands of mothers. There
are comic almanacs and serious al
manac Though not so many serious
ones, and a popular almanac counts its
sale by millions. Perhaps this Is one
of the things they do better in France
than in England. The almanac for
boot and shoe makers is quite as read
able as our trade journals; it is often
more digestible than our banquets, and
now and then is almost as useful as our
literary or scientific congresses. An
English wit said that if there was
another flood there would be a party OF
Englishmen who would contrive to
meet somewhere and celebrate it in a
dinner. The French would issue an al

The coating of sheet-iron plates with
copper and brass is a new industry thai
promises we'll. Among the advantages
claimed for such plates over those which
are ,tinnod or galvanized, " is the fact
that they can be annealed to any de.
sired extent during the process Of
stamping, without injury to the copper
or brass coating and that they also are
superior to sheet copper or sheet brass,
because articles manufactured from them
are not so readily bent or dented as wher
they arc made OF brass or copper, and
they can be FURNISHED, planished OF
spun, and so brought to any required
degree of finish. On this account the
material is specially adapted to the
manufacture of lamps, candlesticks and
all kinds of goods hitherto made by
stamping from sheet brass OF sheet cop.

. POETS OPINION OF CLEVELAND.

Poets live 80 often In an idealistic
sphere that they cannot always grasp
the realistic, but here is one, Wait
Whitman, whose fertile fancy has not
robbed him of his sober senses, as
his comments on the president-elect
show. Says he: Borrower Cleveland
stands out in strong colors in a clear
light as a safe and strong man-one
with a purpose. No man before the
people ever stood up and took the
blows of the press with better well
come than did Cleveland, He bids
fair to bring the old time Democracy
back to the days of manifest destiny
and human progress. In Clevelan
there is q combination of Scotch Pres
byteri ,nism added to his early self
education which will make a states
man who will be governed by good
sense and PATRIOTS m. Under Cleve-
land who has what IL rarer than
genius In our public men, old fash
Toned horse sense and q splendid So
lldity and personal character, there is
every Likelihood Of the southern
problem reaching a satisfactory So
luton in the next eight years. Her
bert Spencer uttered q sensible postu-
late for a republic like ours, which
was: The liberty Of all limited by
the liberty of each.'O

GREAT LOSSES.

The past year has been one of great
losses to many millionaires, espec-
tally those who have had consldera-
able wealth invested in stocks of
various kinds. Among those losses
might be mentioned That of Nj.
Vanderbilt, who is said to have his
wealth lessened by some SIS, OOO, 600.
Jay Gould is said to have dro pped q
like amount in Wall Street and
has not yet been able to recover
the same. The value of the Central
Pacific has gone down $21, 900, 900.
The Erie has deprecated in value
$40, 200, 900, The Northern Pacific ia
not worth as much to-day by $17,-
SOC, 200 what it was a year and a half
ago. The West Shore is worth $15,-
5Oo,0 600 less than it was q year ago.
Had ali these losses occurred nnder q
Democratic administration, what a
howl would 90 up from some of our
Republican friends.

INDEED.

Failure to find anything in Mr..
Cleveland's recent letter on civil GEL
vice reform, the New York Tribune,
which, by the way, did not publish
the document probably an oversight
on Its part-says the letter was not
written by the Governor, but by some
''shrewd politician" Indeed! Just
soon as this authoritative declara-
ton reaches the country prints, we
expect to see it peddled out promis-
cuously. It is not presu mable that
the big mouth of MI. Blaine has any
direct knowledge of the matter, but
it is SO used to prevarication that it
cannot resist an opportunity so favor
able as this. Just why it should have
required ''some shrewd politician"
to write a plain, sensible letter Oh a
favorite subject of President Cleve.
land does not appear. There is
nothing contained in 1t that he has
not expressed on several other oc-
~casions, perhaps not in the same lam
guage and certainly not at such great
length, but In substance and effect
the same.
Now, if this letter, instead of being
addressed to Hon. George William
Curtis, had been addressed to my
dear Fisher" and in place of a mat
ter of public concern had treated on
the appropriation of some sixty mil
lion dollars (which will b. to a great
extent a question of favoritism." and
about which 1t would be neces ,ary
to throw an anchor to windward,
why then the internal evidence as to
the authorship would be conclusive.
Nobody but q ''shrewd politician"
some ''small statesman" as it were,
could indite an epistle like that. 80
far as Mr.. Cleveland's excellent letter
Is concerned nc reasonable man can
doubt that he has written it himself.
If the Tribune will keep its long ears
pricked it will henceforth hear of
several other letters which will set it
to thinking.

SALT LAKE, Jan. 12.-The follow

less be quickly followed by its pas

This sentiment expressed by the
Boston Herald concerning General
Grant strikes the right key: "ln
spite of his mistakes, General Grant
still retains a strong place In the
hearts of his countrymen. His ser
vice in the war f,r the Union was
beyond computation. He brought
to that struggle great qualities and a
modest. loyal soul. His remaining
years should be passed In honorable
retirement. The public provision for
his benefit should not be In the form
of a pension. He should be placed
on the retired list of the army. 1t
was in the army that he did his great
service and won his highest honors.
Democrats and r republicans should
unite, for the honor Of the Republic,
to place our great soldier where he
belongs, with he emoluments he has
richly earned"
