If PARTISAN zeal be a passport to pop

Mr. Teschemacher a very promising can
didate, though, after all. it is to be ques-
toned whether he was not jealous over
much in moving, IN the council, the inde6-
mite postponement of the resolutions uaan-
imously adopted by the house in honor of
the memory of the gallant and patriotic
Hancock. 1t is true that the superb hero
was a Democrat. but Mr.. Teschcmacher
should nave remembered that there are
in Wyoming Republicans as well as Dem
ocrats who stood in those serried ranks at
Gettysburg and with steady courage met
the desperate valor Of the charging foe,
and that these men, less p%artiran perhaps
than Mr.. Teschemacher but not less ear.

zeal which falters not even in the presence
of death. To save the Sun trouble in

their consideration. The whole record is

in convention assembled, declare as fol
lows:
That the principles OF the Democratic
party as enumerated in its platform
adopted by the national Democratic con
veutlvn at Chicago on July 10. 1881. are
the rule and guide of our political faith;
That We affirm the principle ume
ted III our national plntfOfm. that the fed
eral officers in the territories shvul1 be
restricted To citizens previously resident
therein;
That we believe that the interests of our
territory demand II reorganization OF the
Judicial and executive departments of our
territorial government;
That the growing interests OF our terri
tory demand increased facilities in our
mail service;
That We believe in nominating and
~electing men to the different offices wholly
upon the ground Of principles, merit aud
capability;
That We do hereby make a solemn pro-
test against the controlling influence of
wealth IN our elections, and pledge our
selves to do all in our power to discourage
and prevent the corrupt use of money in
this and all future elections:
That we demand the enactment of laws
providing for arbitration between em
p.oy,rs and employed. and to enforce the
decisions Of the arbitrators;
That We demand the ~abrogation of all
laws that do not bear equally upon capital
and labor, and the removal Of unjust tech
nicalities. delays and Determinations in the
administration of Justice,
That we condemn the many hasty, op
pressive and illegal laws passed by our
last legislature. the enforcement of which
will lead to endless litigation, defeat the
melting out Of justice to the people of our
territory, and deprive them of vested
rights;
That We condemn the importation of
foreign contract and pauper labor;
That we oppose The alien ownership of
land in this territory.

Twas the hight OF tle fete when we
quilted the riot
And quietly $40. e to the terrace alone,
Where, pale as the Toe RS that ever swear
by 1t,
The moon 1t cazed down as a god from

We stood there enchanted-And o the
delight of
The sight of the stars, and the moon and
the sen,
And the infinite skies of hat opulent
night of
Purple and gold and ivory.
The far-away liltz OF the waltz rippled to
us,
And through us the exquisite thrill OF the
air:
Like the scent of bruised bloom was your
breath. and its dew was
Not honeyer-sweet than your warm kisses
were.
We stood there northumberland o the de-
light of
The sight of the stars, and the moon n

And the Infinite skies of that opulent

We have then, as described by its Oh
servers, an animal utterly unknown to
the BIOLOGIST, at least as "A contemporary

That IL is "a survival from some group OF
animals now On the verge of extinction.
When. however, we ask what this iroup
l., there ARE two equally good answers.
1t may BE- a survivor OF the saurians-pro
badly the enaliosaurian-to which for m,
as known to the paleontologist, 1t corre-
spends with sufficient exactness. Or 1t
may be a survivor of some snake-like
cetacean, such as the zeuglodon, to whose
habits 1t largely conforms. Most scientists
notable Professors Proctor AMI Agas>iz
Incline to the former supposition. There
IL, however. considerable grounl for the
latter. All its motions are cetacean; 1t is
uniformly de -cribei as thrus in it's head
out OF water-a custom to which sperm
whales are much addicted; its undulatory
movement may he seen illustrated by
every school of purposes; 1t rises sud
denly to the surface, or sinks like Lead to
the bottom, as every whaleman knows
his victim can from the peculiar structure
of its lungs; and its harmlessness Is also
cetacean, a. whales seldom attack save
under exceptional circumstances.
But whether the so Gale | sea-serpent is
a zenglodOn or an enaiiosaurian, we shall
never know for surety till we secure its
skeleton for thu zoo ogist to elias Sly. And
very possibly this IN ~ yet be done. The
existence of the deviltsh wls long denied
but finally a specimen vas obtainel that
silenced all cavaliers. Heretofore OBJ

SOCIALISM seems to have acquired a
sudden responsibility by the candidacy of
Henry George for the mayoralty of New
York, and no longer seems confined TO
the lower strata OF society. 1t is better
than the nihilism which the Anarchists
preach, but the difference is one of de.
gree. The Anarchists would destroy
what Socialists seek only to divide.
