THE stirring up of the penitentiary
lease business is liable TO bring some
interesting facts to the attention OF
the public. There is a growing sus-
picion that there is clique or ring
of spectators who have considerable
interest in this lease business, and
that some members of that ring are
high State officials. Day by day
new things come to light and as the
public becomes more interested the
existence of a big lease ring becomes
more apparent. A letter in another
column from Central City, Tenn,
gives some interesting food for re-
fec,ion.

Canned fruits and meats are usually
sealed with ordinary solder. Persons
who habitually consume large quanti-
ties of such goods are in danger of lead
poisoning. The glazing lining earthen-
ware, especially hat of the cheaper
sort, and enameled kettles contain
lead, as a rule, and the juices of fruits
prepared or stored in such utensils are
capable of dissolving appreciate guam
titles of the lead out of such glazcs. The
tin-foil in which many articles of food
are wrapped, and in which chewing to-
bacco, cigars, etc, are preserved from
becoming too dry, generally contain this
metal in large proportion. The Chinese
tea-chcsts are lined with sheet lead hard.
ened with tin. 1t is easily seen how nu,
merous are the sources of %unsuspected
poisoning by this material. Many of the
powders and hair-dycs on the market
are composed, to a large extent, of prep
arations of this metal. Cor. Globe-Dem-

The Laramie County Democratic Cen
trial committee, consisting of Il. Brcs-
nahen, +. IL. Leibcy, Isaac Gtcentrce, j.
A. Murray and +. H. Miller, deserve the
thanks and praises of every member of
the party, Tor their efficient and persist
cnt labors, which brought about an almost
total humiliation OF the Republican ma
iority of two years ago, and the election
of half the nominees for county Offices on
the Democratic ticket. The gentlemen of
the committee had many obstacles TO ON
tend with, not the least Of Which being
the want OF thorough organization and
party discipline. Although harrsscd by
many difficulties and unable to compete
with their opponents in the lavish cXpcn-
ditnrc of Doodle, the committee succeeded
in organizing a small working force of
able and faithful co-workcrs. who lahorcd
jealousy, and, thus aided, saved the
party from defeat.

About Official HManners.v

Good reports come from various parts
Of the country as to the "manners" of the
new Democratic officials. In many places
great improvement is noted, and people
who were accustomed to be snubbed or
made to feel that they were inferior be-
ings when they had occasion to visit a
government department or post office
under Republican administrations have
been gratited to be treated as citizens
entitled to common courtesy, no matter
what is their position or condition IN
life. One or two instances have been
noted In which there has been a change
for the worse, but this is not remarkable,
and no doubt a little rubbing against the
file of public opinion will smooth the wire
edge of such officials and clerks as are
disposed to jump at the conclusion that
they are superior beings, who are exempt
from the rules OF common politeness. One
of the most notable instances of reform in
this respect is reported in relation to the
Boston post Office, where Gen. COrse has
set an example of gentility, and it ap-
pears, it is said, that every employe OF the
office is gentleman.
1t is not expected that a public official
or employe shall be transformed into a
groveling sycophant because he Is the
servsn: OF the people, but the poorest
laborer who has business at a public
Office is entitled to such civil treatment
as he would receive in any well ordered
and popular business house.
A case in point comes from a city in
Of hn =
Democrat, who always felt like a stranger
in a strange land when he had business
in a public office under Republican rule,
had occasion a few days ago to get a
money order cashed. The new Demo-
cratic clerk had just waited on finan-
cial looking person with great complals-
ance. The gentleman passed in his
money order duly receipted, when the
clerk referred to mis- tiles and found the
letter of advice. Then he looked sus.
piciously at the payee, who did not regard
himself as a suspicious looking person at
all, and asked in a gruff tone, "Who sent
this order, sirS" The answer was give II
with the best grace possible under the
| circumstances, but the gentleman's Demo.
cratic ardor suffered a chilling blast, and
he left the office vowing to himself that i
he should be treated that way again he
would write to the President and tell him
that there was at least one new rasca
who needed 10 be turned out" This il
an exceptional case, however, and it il
gratifying to know that a reform is beine
inaugurated nearly all over the country
in the matter of official manners" al
we'll as in other respects.

Attacking the Presidents Integrity.

Attacking the Presidents Integrity.
the New York Tribune in its Washing
ton correspondence is trying 10 connect
the President and his private secretary
Daniel Lamont. by ipnuendo and runor,
with real estate speculation in wash
ington. A rather faint impression IS
given out that a syndicate was formed,
by those whom the President appointed
TO office in the District of Columbia and
others, to purchase lot Of real estate in
the vicinity OF " Washington, and to create
a demand for it by locating a summer
residence upon it for the President.
hin is thrown out that the Presidents
suburban villa, known as Red Top"
didn't cost him anywhere near the sum
mentioned in the deed, which is $2l.500-
that in fact, it didn't cost him anything.
1t Is also stated as q rumor that he has
an interest in the syndicate, and that his
private secretary is a mem Der of 1t.
1t is certainly unjust TO attack the
President in this roundabout, cowardly
way. A correspondent Of a New York
paper, who seems to know more about
what is going on in Washington than any
oil the other newspaper men there, states
that there is no doubt that the President
gave his personal check for $2l 800 i'll
paymentfor cred Top" and that there is
no evidence of any kind to show that there
Is any such syndicate as the Tribune
speaks about. When it became known
that the President had bought a country
place there was great demand for the
land in the vicinity of it, and prices were
advanced rapidly. A few persons have
made money by buying promptly when
they discovered where the President had
located. The attempt to make it appear
that the President placed himself in the
hands of Washington real estate specu-
lators and accepted favors from them is
weak invention to injure him. Public
confidence in his integrity. however, Is
TOO strong to be shaken by the innueudoes
of the Tribune, or the rumors it has so
industriously collected.

The Heather on Buckine Broncho.
From the Farm and Ranch.

A Chinaman does not grab the bit of a bron-
cho and yank it around till the noble beast can
see thirteen new and peculiar kinds of fire
works, or kick him IN the stomach. or knock
mis- ribs loose, or swear at him until the frma-
ment gets loose and begins to roll together
like scroll. but he gets on the wrong side
and slides into the saddle, and smiles and
says something like what guinea hen would
say If she got excited and tried to repeat one
of BjOernsljerne Bjoernson's poems backward
IN his native tongue. At first the broncho
seems temporarily ratified. but by and by he
shoots athwarC the sunny sky like thing of
life, and comes down with his legs in Clus-
ter like q bunch of asparagus.
This will throw Chnaman's liver into the
northwest corner of his throat, and his upper
left hand duodessimO into the middle of next
week, but he doesn't com plain. He opens his
mouth and breathes in all the atmosphere the
rest of the universe can spare, and tickles the
broIeho on The starhoard quarter with his
cork sole. This mirth-provoking movement
throws the broncho iuto the widest Mysteries,
and for some minutes the spectator doesn'tsee
nything very distinctly. The autumnal twi-
light seems fraught with blonde broncho and
pale blue shirt tail and Chinaman moving In
an irregular orbit. and occasionally throwing
OFF meteOric articles of apparel and prehistoric
chunks of ingenious profanity of the
vintage OF Confucius. When the sky
clears up a little the Chinaman's hair
is down ard in wild profusiOn about his
olive features. His shirt flap is very
much frayed, like an American flag that
has snapped in the breeze for thirteen weeks.
lie finds also that he has telescoped his spi-
nal column and iammed two ribs through the
right superior duplex. has two or three YER
tebr8 floating about through his system that
he doesn't know what TO do with. In fact.
the Chlnaman is robust ruin. while the
broncho is still in a 5000 state of preserva-
tion. Now the broncho humps his back up
into the eircumambient atmosphere, and
when he once bisects the earth's orbit and
jabs his feet into the trembling earth, a shape
