DEMOCRATIC ADMINISTRATION.


The administration of our municipal
Affairs by a Democratic mayor and coun-
Gil, for the past ten months. has made its
record, and the same will be spread be-
fore our readers tomorrow. Although
hampered in many ways by inheriting en-
cumbrances from former administrations,
and notwith standing the fact that the
present city government WAS compelled to
pay a large number Of bills incurred
the previous year, the present city council
makes a frst class showing in its recsipts
and disbursements, if we take into con-
sideration the many improvements made
during the past ten months and the fne
coalition of the city, its streets, the fire
department and public buildings. Such a
good exhibit deserves the commendation
OF our people. who will most assuredly
manifest their appreciation by a hearty
endorsement of the candidates chosen by
the constituents of the faithful and eff
Gent public servants who have controlled
the city's affairs during the past year, and
who will be ably seconded in their efforts
for economy and reform BY the three gen
tlemen. Messrs. Whitcomb, Moroney and
Murray, who will certainly be elected
next Tuesday TO serve as members Of the
city council for the ensuing three years.

JUDGE CAREY AND THE LEGIs.
LATUR a..

In
Notwithstanding the fact that it is gen
orally taken for granted that congress will
pass the bill providing for the legalization
Of the ninth Legislative assembly of Wyo-
ming, The LEADER reiterates that the far
better plsn-a new election under a new
apportionment-should be adopted. Had
the proposition Of ex-D Delegate Post been
accepted-had not Judge Carey inter
posed with the plan which he now is try
ing to push through congress-a new cleo
ton would have taken place last autumn,
the legislature would now be preparing to
meet, all sections Of the territory would
be fully and duly represented, and the
present chaos would have been avoided.
What could have been Judge Carey's
motive in thus thwarting the aims
and purposes Of our delegate
10 congress-? Mr.. Post had secured
the passage Of his bill in the lower house,
and the nat committee had agreed to
report it iavorably to the senate. Mr..
Post had the hearty approval OF a vast
majority of our people. who endorsed bis
proposition as the most practicable, and
the best way out Of our difficulties. No
injustice would have been done 10 anyone
if his measure had been adopted he
simply proposed to rclegate the whole
matter to the people-the fountain head
Of our governmental system. Could Mr..
Carey's motive in opposing this measure
have been otherwise than of a political
naturc2 Did he fear that possibly at a
new election the van of the persuasive
power Of his peculiar tactics would change

PLANTATION can be given Of his gratuitous
interference in a matter concerning the
welfare Of the people Of Wyoming, whose
official and accredited representative in
Washington at that time was the Hon.
NJ. f. Post. f
Judge Carey's motive being then a po-
litical one, be should be met on his chosen
field. he is the first who gave a political
cast TO the discussion relative to this mat
ter in congress and a, home. The house Of
representatives should thoroughly under
stand the situation, and it will be THE
LrADER's business to thoroughly inform
it. On political grounds, and at the soTici-
tation of Judge Carey, the senate, last
spring, defeated the house measure sup
ported by Delegate Post, backed by the
people of Wyoming; on political grounds
the present house shoald negative the bill
passed by the senate at the instigation of
Delegate Carey, backed by a ring Of Office
holders and Office seekers.

a NEW PROCESS OF COMING.

A Recent Invention which win Make
counterfeItInx an ImpossIbiiity.
Col. Snowden, superintendent OF the
Philadelphia mint, has perfected an in
yention which, it is said, will render it
impossible to counterfeit United States
coinage. This invention consists of a
twice bisectel steel collar. which, when
attached to the dies, will form raised
letters upon the peripheriss of the coins.
The test OF the first experiment is thus
described With mathematical exact
ness all the moving machinery of the
dies was adjusted SO that 1t would work
simultaneously with the opening and
shutting of the collar. After the fly
wheel of the coming press had made a
few revolutions, the travelling metal
claws were ad listed to grasp the first
round silver piece. and then the machine
was put at full speed.
The silver dollars were stamped and
lettered by the new collar, and began to
pour into the tray beneath like metallic
hail. The shower Of precious metal was
allowed to continue without Interrupt
ton for two minutes, when
the coming press was stopped
and the dollars were examined.
The test confirmed all expectations AS
each n OF the experimenting party
held up a new coin. still hot from the
press, the raised letters appeared upon
the edge. distinct. cleaning and with
out a iaw. Between the legend upon
the edge Of the edge OF tho new coin,
Il Pluribus MON" silver six pointed
stars appeared, as ~delicately formed as
II craven under a microscope. The die
work upon both sides of the new dollars
was clear and without imperfection Of
any kind.
The new coin car not be initiated by
counterfeiters. because it can not be
made in a mould or by any process ex-
cept the steel collar. hand engraving or
a screw press. Milled coins can be
lifted out OF a mould without injury,
because the lines upon their edges are
straight up and down. The new ones
have letters and stars on their edges,
and can not be taken out except by in
juring them and mutilating the moulds.
