The Territorial Democratic Central
Committees Address.
Rooms OF THE TERRITORIAL DEMO-
CRATIC CENTRAL COMMITTEE,
RAwLINs. Aug. l9.

"A LlNS. aug. IL.
TO tie Democracy Of Wyomng-As
chosen representatives of your %organiza
ton, the territorial central committee take
occasion respectfully to submit for your
consideration a few suggestions which
seem opportune as bearing Immediately
upon the issues of the coming campaign,
the material interests of the territory and
the practical wants of the people.
The importance of securing the best
representation In congress which the lin
tied privileges of a territorial condition
afford is absolutely momentous in the IN
cipient but highly progressive state i'll
which every industrial enterprise and
every local interest stands to day. An
earnest and vigilant delegate, with broad
views and without local prejudice, one
who will work diligently and can work
effectively to promote the welfare of our
people, can accomplish much. A Demo-
crat, IN sympathy with the party and in in
t~elligent working harmony with its infiuen.
tial leaders would be able to shape national
legislation in the interest of his ~constitu
ents tn an extent only to be measured by
the total absence of result from recent
Republican effort. The wants of Wyo
ming have been disregarded beyond those
of any other territory, because her dele
gate accredited to the popular branch of
congress has therein been practically ig
nored.
In order to rebuke the growing spirit of
local Jealousy and sectional strife, it seems
proper to suggest that the standard bear
er OF the party should be a man whose
record shall identity HIM with the welfare
Of our whole chrysalis commonwealth,
and who shall be capable of ignoring the
petty bias OF locality in Difference to the
common wants of all. Such a man from
whatever county he may come. and with
whatever interest he may have been iden
tilted, must necessarily combine all the
clements Of success

the counties it may be said that by far the
most important Offices are those Of coun-
cllmen and representatives. IN the terrific

Clerical Error.

Jim Webster was on his way home
one dav last week, when he met his
friend, Sam Johnsing.
.'Whar's you gwine, Sam?"
"Nowhar's in pertickerler, JiHl."
"Come home wild me and habe some
dinner. We has got some yeller legged
chicken for dinner.
Arriving at Jim Webster's house, they
failed to find Mrs. Webster in, but on
looking out the back door they per-
ceived her hanging some clothes on a
line to dry. She was not alone. Stand
ing in front of her, with heavenly
smile on his features, casting admiring
glances at her, and patting her gently
on her saddle colored cheeks was Rev.
Whangdoodle Baxter, pastor of the Aus
tin Blue Light tabernacle. Sam Johns
ing nudged his friend in the side, and
asked:

Criminals and Their Homes.

"Every once in while people read in
the papers how some man who had Just
done job has skipped, leaving no trace
behind him." said central Office de-
tectivc to New York Herald reporter.
1.-The first thing they do is to blame the
detectives. Then, a year or two perhaps
afterward, they hear that the man has
been caught. Then they praise the de-
tectives for skill and perseverance rs
much as they blamed them before. They
were wrong to blame the detectives in
the first place, and I'm not sure that
they were right in praising them 50
highly aftcrward. In ordinary circum-
stances any criminal is sure to be
caught.
"You say there are many crimes never
mraveled. That's SO. But in most OF
them the police get to know who did the
job as we'll as they know who stole
Broadway, but they can't get the evil
dence, and so they lie low and wait In
a few exceptional cases it's best not to
punish anybody.
IF a man runs away the police can
pinch him nine times out of ten Just by
watching his home. Shakespeare never
said a truer thing than when he said:
There's no place like home 1t was
Shakespeare, wasn'tit? Well, every man,
no matter how bad he is, has a home of
some kind that he's going to visit, al
though he knows that the visit may land
him in state prison for twenty years,
and as soon as he thinks the coast is
clear he's going to that home All the
police have to do is to find out that
home, watch it, and nab their man
when he shows up.
There's that man who shot the negro
janitor. He got west and was doing
well, and nobody knew where he was.
But he had to come back to New York
to see his friends. There's Jimmy Riley.
He broke seven of the strongest jails in
the country-Sing Sing was the last of
them. What did he do when he got out
of Sing SingP He went straight to 10th
avenue, where everybody knew him.
Now he's back at Sing Sing. Talk to
Capt. Washburn about Hell's Kitchen
and places at the foot of West seth and
10th streets in his precinct. He'll tell
you that whenever he wants one of the
crooks who hang out there he has only
to go there to get him. They never try
to hide in any other part of the city.
Do you remember that burglar who
killed a policeman way back in the
sixties, when he was caught breaking
into an arms store in Broadway? Well,
he thought it safe to come back to New
York after nearly twenty years, and the
first thing he knew he was on trial for
his life. He would have come back
sooner, too. if he hadn't been prevented
by being locked up in different prisons
out west.
"Another thing that helps the de-
tectives in catching big crooks is their
inter-marriages. 1t is n saying that
every Hebrew in Baxter street belongs
to one of three families. It's about the
same with crooks. About every big one
among them is connected by marriage
or blood ties with the others"

Ofsetting a Claim.

In one of the northern counties of
Michigan P. @. Smith bobbed up Sc
renely before the board of supervisors
with a claim of $3.50 for alleged services
rendered the county in the capacity of
extra deputy sheriff during recent mis-
understanding between capital and
labor.
The chairman of the board reflected a
moment and said: 'Mr. Smith, you
were indicted by the grand jury in this
county some years ago, were you not?"
..Yes, SIR modestly observed Smith.
s.You were convicted and sentenced
for three months?"
''Yes, sir" replied Smith, without os-
tentation.
Your case cost the county S125P"
81 1uess so,'' stammered the extra
deputy, doubtfully.
s.You have at two different times
served sentences in the county jail, at
an expense to the county of $54.
Smith was silent, as he began to see
the drift of the chairman's remarks.
1--WE, will pass your claim to the
credit of your account. You still owe
the county S29."
As Mr.. Smith groped in dazed sort
of manner toward the door the board
proceeded to elucidate the true inward
ness of the next claim.-Detroa Free

jersey Weather-Lore. Edff

That which have heard, and have
recorded from time to time, appears to
have originated where now, or where it
lately was, in use. To great extent,
believe it to be original with the descend
ants of the immigrants that settled Cen
tral New Jersey and the country gener-
ally about Philadelphia; but portion OF
it, very possibly, was derived from the
Indians.
At present, portion of this weather
lore is repeated as nursery rhymes, and
it is due to this that it has been preserv-
ed to the present time; and, so far as |
have been able to determine, not one of
the rhymes or sayings has ever been
published. That among the earliest
papers and almanacs of the country
there may be found some of them, or
slightly different versions of the same,
is probable, but my searchings therefor,
in the larger libraries, have not resulted
in any such discoveries.
The main interest, however, in con-
nection with weather-lore, is to deter
mine whether they do or do not correct
ly represent the relationship of the ami
mails mentioned to the given condition
of the weather. In other words, is the

as rule, those who by virtue of their
ingenuity framed these rhymes and
brief sayings did not correctly interpret
nature.
Very many of the early English
settlers were, no doubt, excellent OBJ
servers; but they appear, at times, to
have more desired to be looked upon as
| weather-prophets than as naturalists,
and strove to have glib nonsense-sayings
pass current as evidence of their wis
dom, instead of taking pains to correctly
interpret the course of nature and deter
mine the relation of animal life to its
environment.
Often, during my rambles in the
neighborhood, have questioned the few
remaining descendants of the original
settlers concerning the local weather.
proverbs, and l find the impression is
still prevalent that the purport of all
these saying is substantially correct, and
therefore, to a great degree, that my
neighbors are laboring under erroneous
impressions. ''Is there not wisdom in a
multitude of counselors?" they ask; and
| l, standing alone, am voted the fool,
while they pose as sages.
Let us consider this weather-lore, bit
by bit, as l have gathered it from time
to time, and discuss its merits, if it has
any, and also its absurdities.-Dr. C. c..

Bring up Young Men.

Some three years ago, in an editorial,
we advised our manufacturers to select
one or more boys from good and tried
families-boys that bid well to become
staid, energetic business men. Send
them to some institute where they can
get the training you desire to fit them
for your work. Open an account with
them; when you send them away, charge
the expense to them as you pay it out;
and when they graduate, and you put
them in the mill, give them to under
stand that if they prove themselves
worthy of the trust, you will
make them sharers of the profits.
You will get a blank once in
a while, but as rule you will
get young men who willshelp to carry
your burden, while you do the thinking.
And your business secrets will be kept.
Besides, to have half a dozen young
men coming home in this way will ele-
vate the tone of your works. Instead OF
one owner going through the mill once
or twice a day, there viii be an owner
somewhere in sight all the time. You
can then use your skill and experience
where it will produce the most money
