CHINESE IMMIGRATION REsTR1cTED.

We commend the successful negotiation Of
the recent treaty by President Cleveland

migration to this country of Chinese
laborers has been stopped.
We are opposed to the further immi-

Looking Into tho wlndows.

"Do you know" said a well known
plate glass dealer to a reporter, ''that the
great plate glass windows that adorn
large store fronts nave their origin In the
vanity Of women2 A woman likes to see
herself as others see her. She can do that
in a mirror. When she is on the street
the show windows serve as mirrors to tell
her how prettily or how badly she ap-
pears, II her hat is on crooked, her back
hair down or her newfangled hustle awry.
Watch the women as they saunter up and
down Broadway or Sixth avenue, and
you will find nine out of ten casting fur
tive glances into the windows that reflect
back their likenesses. They are attracted
to the goods in the windows and go into
the store to inspect and buy. 1t was that
idea hat first brought about big plate
glass windows. The old, common frames,
with large numbers of panes, gave no OPP
portunity for the ladies to see their full
figures. They could only see their faces.
Tradesmen who observed the manner in
which they looked in the windows urged
the glass manufacturers to make large
panes. They gradually made them larger
and larger until now they fill the entire
front. The men like to look in them
quite as much as the women, too. New

Just, but tax the case of Laramie county.
1t is bonded in the sum of 100000 for
the construction oil the Cheyenne &
Northern. The construction of the new
county of Niobrara would carry with 1t
the assumption of about $1,000 OF this
debt, or perhaps not a cent OF it. True,
the people of that section may claim that
they receive little or no bGneft from the
road, but ii the construction ofnew
ties is carried out from year to year, it Is
easy to conceive of a situation where the
bulk Of the bonded Indebtedness assumed
by the present Laramie county would
ultimately be shouldered by a compare
lively small strip in this southern section.
No candid man will say that this would
he Just.
The LEADER has hitherto not entered
into this subject for the reason that the
various claims had not reached a stage
of reasonable formulation. Even now we
do not believe in any arbitrary discussion
OF the subject. The claims Of large
bodies of respectable citizens arc to bs
considered. If these claims are reasonable
the frccr the discussion of them the more
liable are we to arrive at
conclusions which will work equal
and exact Justice to all con-
cerned. let the matter be freely discussed
and ample time given for sober considera.
ton. The conclusion then reached, while
it may net satisfy all cravings, will inevi.
tably be most in harmony with the views
of the majority Of those whose rights are

During a service of eleven years as as
sistant postmaster, 1 had occasion to in
vestigate the methods of letter breakers
in the postofice and on the rail, and 1
came to the conclusion that no one could
steal from the mails very long without
getting caught. In nine cases out of ten,
perhaps, in my experience, the thieves
destroyed the envelopes and letters by
sending them on n journey through a
sewer or by casting them into a fire.
That was done, of course, to give out the
impression that the letters had been lost
in transit, and it took careful work to
trace the stealing to the right man.
However, it was lone with unerring ac-
curacy. Steaming the envelope at
the sealed part blackens the envelope
somewhat and leads to discovery. Then,
too, no envelope can be opened under
the softening influence of steam without
cracking the edges of the flap of the
envelope so raised. The whole flap is
cracked in slight checks or chaps under
steaming, the mucilage is weakened,
and h whole job is so apparent that it
is not hard work to detect hat the
letter has been tempered with. To open
a letter dry with a knife blade also
makes fractures in the edges of the flap,
no matter how carefully the knife is
worked under the edges, and leads to
discovery. l don't understand why any
employe of the p~ostofice department
will take the chances of robbing a letter
under the present system, as he is bound
to be caught it.-Globe-Democrat.

TnE NEW sPEAkER.

Approaching that harmony could in no
other way be secured and that the chan
nels of public business were becoming
hopclcssly cloggcd Mr.. Nat Huntington
yesterday very wisely rendered his resig
nation as speaker of the house of repre-
sentatives. Things had come to such n
pass that this was manitcstly the only
plain way out Of a maze of difficulties
which surrounded the situation and left
the presiding officer the central figure of u
drama which was rapidly vcrging on the
domain OF farce comedy. Mr.. Hunting
ton can accomplish infinitely more for
himself and his constituency on the floor
of the house and we sincerely believe he
will be frequently ncard from to good ad-
vantage before the session is over.
The elevation Of Judge Pcasc was the
unanimous desire OF the Democratic mem
bers, though the Republicans checriully
coucurred in his election. There is no
question at all as to Speaker Pcase's *
pericncc or ability to make a competent
presiding officer, but at the same time we
wish to say frankly that we cannot unrc-
seryedly commend h-ss,lcction of commit
tees. That Republicans should be placed as
chairmcn of the most important
committees of The house seems to us an
extraordinary procedure. Outside of

would not be entertained for a moment
With a clear Democratic majority in the

in matters of this sort. but ", cannot dis
cover that the Republican brethren in the

amount of it,. As "a matter of fact, the

WHAT'S the objection to writing
wont and don't without the apos-
trophe? asks the Philadelphia Times.
Have they not sufficient reputable use to
warrant us in treating them no longer as
contraetions? 1t would look better and
save trouble to write wont and don't"
And another thing while we are speaking
of words. Somebody ought to coin a
pronoun that could be used in place of
"he or She" For example: in a COM
pany OF ladies' and gentlemen, each one
was requested to tell how old he or she
was. Now, III a sentence like that, what
q convenience it would be to have a pro-
noun to represent both genders.

NEW COUNTY ORGANIZATIONS.

The subject of county division, in many
respects one Of immense importance to
all concerned, is now fairly before the
legislature for action. So lar the mlttcr
has resolved no extended discussion ex-
ccpt in the papers published at Lusk and
Doug'a, respectively. At both these
points the fight has in some features been
a bitter one and hard feeling have been
c~ngcnIcreI, which have contributed moth
ing to m equitable adjustment of the
difficulties.
In the discussion of this question it is
only natural thai each section should
strive to secure a settlement which would
be OF the most advantage to itself
Douglas is anxious to become the county
scat Of a comparatively large county, and
a bill is said to be now in preparation
which will provide for a subdivision OF
the northern halves Of Laramie and
Albany counties, the soLthgrn boundary of
which will be twelve miles north of the
seventh standard parallel. This proposed
subdivision, to which the main of Fcltcr,
man county will be given, will include the
town of LusG within its borders 1t is
only natural that the people Of Lusk
should combat this scheme. Is they hope
to make their own town the county seat
OF Niobrara county, which will chiefly
embrace that portion of Laramie county
lying north Of the seventh standard par
allcl.
There Is one important consideration
involved about which nothing has vet
been said. This relates to the bonded in
debtedncss of Laramie county. Section
go Of the revised statutes provides that
in the formation of a new county it shall
bear its proportionate amount OF the
original county bonded Indebtedness for
railroad construction in the same ratio
to the total amount of said Indebtedness
as the number Of miles Of sIch railroad in
such new county is to the total number of
miles of such railroad in the original
county before its division
At first blush this may appear perfectly

Spccial branches OF the Law,
'TWhat special branches of the law are
the most difficult"
"The most difficult branch of the law
of real estate, and the particular depart
ment of it called the law of trust. The
law of trust is very complicated, as it
generally presents itself and leads to
great refinements. It is difficult for a
man to practice it unless he has an
ethical sense and is quite observant of
moral distinctions. Men who are quite
successful in these branches reach the
higher positions of the law. There are
also some branches of the law of con-
tracts that are difficult and perplex-
ing. 1t should, however, be remarked
that these difficulties exist mainly
for those who are not willing to pay
the price of overcoming them. The price
is thorough study and close application,
and with these the difficulties vanish.
Ills in such brances as these, particularly,
that the advantages of q thorough legal
training in early life are most manifest.
The student who undertakes to acquire
them without the aid of instruction is
apt to be confused and bewildered, and
he may work his way out unaided, vet
1t is an expenditure of too much time
and effort. 1t ought to be regarded in
education as a wasteful thing to use moro
time than is necessary to accomplish q
given purpose. 1t is just as truly waste
full and infinitely more pernicious than
to use more fuel in a manufacturing es-
Enlistment han the needs of the bust
ness require. Since the waste in educa-
ton can never be made up, it is the loss
of the most precious investment pos
sible-the loss of time. New York

A Great Victory
A Terrible Case of .ScrofuIa
Cured by
Hoods ~SarsapariIIa

"In the winter of 1879 1 was attacked with
Scrofula in one of the most aggravating forms.
At one time I had no less than thirteen large
assesses over and around my neck and throat,
continually eXuding an offensive mass of
bloody matter disgusting to behold, and
almost intolerable to endure. 1t is impossible
to fully describe my su%fferings, as the case
was complicated with Chronic Catarrh. After
three years of misery, having been treated by
three physicians, 1 was worse than ever.
Finally, on the recommendation OF W. j.
Huntley, druggist, of Lockport, 1 was induced
TO try Hoods ~Sarsaparilla. And now, after
having taken twelve bottles, within the last
twelve months, the scrofulous eruptions have
entirely ceased, and the assesses have all
disappeared, except the unsightly scars, which
are daily becoming smaller by degrees, and
beautifully less I do not know what it may
have done for others, but / do know that in
my case, Hoods S~arsaparilla has proved an
effective specific indeed. As an evidence of
my, gratitude L send these facts unsolicited,
and 1 am ready to verify the authenticity OF
this cure, by personal correspondence with
any one who doubts it," CHARLES A. Rob-
ERTs, East Wilson, N. Y.

SKIN DISEASES.

Our oldest child, now six years of age. when
an Infant six months old was attacked with a
Yirulent, malignant skin disease. All ordinary
remedies falling, we called our family physician
who attempted to cure 1t bnt 1t spread with
almost incredible rapidity, until the lower por-
ton of the lit &c fellows person, from the middle
OF his back down to his knees, was one solid
rash. ugly, painful, blotched. and malicious. We
had no rest at night, no peace by day. Finally
we were advised to try the CUTICURA RENE
DIES. The effect was simply marvellous. In
three or four weeks n complete cure was
wrought, leaving the little fellows person as
white and healthy as though he had never been
attacked. In my opinion your valuable remedies
saved his life, and to-day he is a strong, healthy
child, perfectly well, no repetition Of the disease
having ever occurred.
