THE PRESIDENTIAL CAM
P1IGN.
The People of the Territories
cannot Participate in 1T, But
they are Interested On-LOOIcers.

For the next few months there will
a great deal of politics to the square
inch in the newspapers. This may not
be agreeable to some people, but these
forget that the government whose bless
ings they enjoy is for men, and con-
trolled by politics, ard it is the duty of
every citizen to make a thorough study
of the latter and thoroughly understand
all the bearings of the issues that are pre-
scented to them for settlement in order
that they may vote intelligently. There
is nothing more dangerous to a govern-
ment of the people, by the people, than
ignorance on these points. and very
often the intelligent are most blame
worthy.
If we know anything of the tone and
temper of the people of to-day, the peo-
Pile who stand in presence of great
contest, confronted with schemes in
Vulnerable, of the syndicate-monopoly
cast, schemes by which millions of dol
lars are ground out of the millions who
make them, but are not allowed the
privilege of enjoying them; schemes,
frauds, shams, by which one, two or
three are able to control the business of
this great country and make fortunes
counted by millions, while the toilers
are getting poorer and ready for the
pauper's grave; if we know anything of
the people so afflicted we are cafe in
saying that they will think much and
long over the problems confronting
them; not on the lines of party affilia-
ton, and that they will settle them
but on the great broad principles
of human rights, by which every man
is entitled to raise as much as he can,
ship at as low rates as any other man,
and in the final market sell his own
goods to the man who offers the most
money. They can afford to fight shy OF
the men who own millions or who an
nually make millions, because there is
no possible way by which these millions
can be made by hard and honest work.
This broad fact stares us all in the face
and as the country loves honor, honesty
and manly open competition, SO will the
country maintain its own integrity and
the honor of an honest manhood by
sticking to it through thick and thin.
1t is simple matter with those who
by iniquitous means have boarded great
wevlth to employ fraction thereof fol
sinister purposes without telling the
world what they are doing. One hun.
dred thousand dollars, or ten times thai
amount of money is but drop in the
bucket to some men, and if these vas
sums can be so used as to grind more
millions out of the people without the
peoples knowledge, the millionaire.
will most cheerfully contribute them.
The time has come when men are ex.
pected to think and act for themselves
and they who fight the battle at the
polls as well as at the plow will be tn,
best soldiers.

islation in the exclusive interest of one
class or calling. Its original design was
perverted TO illogical and indefensible
uses, and it thereby lost that advantage
of popular sympathy and support which
is indispensable to the success of any
such organization. The demagogues got
their mischievous clutch upon it. and it
wthered in obedience to an inexoralle
law of cause and effect. If it had reso-
lutely;adhered to the ideas and purposes
with which it began it's career, 1t would
undoubtedly have preserved and in
creased its power and popularity, for
there was much in those ideas and pur-
poses that commanded the approval of
all good citizens. Possibly it may yet
recover its lost ground and gain a new
lease of being and of progress by taking
up the old plan again and sticking to it
with proper courage and sincerity. That
appears to be the conviction Of those
who are prominently identified with it,
and assert that the outlook is better now
than it has been before in many years.
The farmers have many reasons for de-
string society Of that sort, and it could
easily be made profitable to them and to
the country; but in order to be effective
and enduring. it must avoid the grave
mistake of trying to make itself polti-
cal machine, and to devote all it's care to
matters of practical and legitimate ma
ture.

The bingham Democrat says: "Sev-
eral families who removed from this
place TO Kansas have returned. Kansas
is the poorest country on earth for poor
man. The government simply bets a
man 100 acres of worthless land against
$l475 that he can't make living, and
the government wins every time.

Now Comes tho caninooCure.

The eccentricities of the medical pro-
fession will never be exhausted. An
American surgeon in his travels through
Europe noticed that the peasants when
hurt by splinters, thorns or other dan
gerous substances would get their
wounds licked by their dogs, and that
they were speedily healed. Acting on
this observation he carefully examined
the tongue of the animals, and recog-
nized the presence of u healing power of
high degree. So convinced was he of
the truth of his theories that he has
opened a canine hospital ear Zurich IL
Switzerland, where dogs of various
breeds are utilized In licking the wounds
and nervous centers of the patients
under vigilant medical control. Already
wonderful cures have been reported, and
if the theories are successfully realized
the canine cure may become the fashion
able craze of the thousands of visitors to
the spas of Europe.-San Francisco
Chronicle.

There are comparatively few weekly
papers in the country that pay for poetry.
One can almost them on ones fin
gers. These papers require that contri-
buttons shall reach a certain standard of
excellence, and even then the poems
must be "timely." 1t is singular that
papers that pay nothing at all get very
excellent work. l have known poems
rejected by the pay" journals to date
an almost worldwide reputation from
their publication in the gratuitous col
umn.
The leading magazines pay good prices
for poetry, but much that they publish is
far inferior, as poetry, to that which ap-
pears in the weekly press at scantier
rates. The most valued contributor sell
dom gets more than three poems q year
into the magazines, and these, paid for,
say, at the rate Of $50 each, which is a
good price, do not prove n bonanza.
Writers of newspaper poetry fall into
ruts, which, seemingly, unfit them for
better work. One sees but seldom in the
great magazines the anne of poets who
appear almost weekly elsewhere. The
young writer, who has but a frail hold
on the paying papers, finds that he sends
in too much poetry, and too often; and
when he has overcrowded one pigeon
hole of the editorial desk, his occupation
languishes. Editors, as a rule, will ac-
cept just 50 much Of one authors work,
and writers learn, by experience, that
they must not milk the COW too olten,-

Passenger Traffic.

The Union Pacific passenger business,
says the Omaha Republican, was never
so large at this time of year as it is now.
An the trains, the overland flyer, +" Den
yer and Ogden express. Grand Island
local and every other train on the road
carry great loads every day. The ''over.
land flyer" is not quite so luxurious as
the Golden Gate special" but it equals
the finest train on any other road in the
country. The company is sending all its
old sleepers to Pullman as last as posi-
Bile, where they are remodeled and sent
back, perfect palaces, and the order for
eight bran new ones, given some months
ago, is now being filed.

New Furniture for the Legislature.

A Washington special to the Denver
Republican says that Secretary Shannon
Of Wyoming, makes the following ex-
PLANTATION OF the estimates for the terri
tory:
The estimate for $4,000 for new FUR
%niture, carpets, etc., for the legislature in
the new capitol building is based on the
fact that the furniture now in use has
been used through four sessions OF the
legislature and has suffered much from
storage as it had to be stored in the eel
lar. Rather than spend any money in re-
pairing this furniture l believe it would
be economy to buy new furniture and good
carpets for the legislative halls. as here
after the property can remain in the halls
between sessions and not suffer by stor-
age; and when the halls are once fitted up
in suitable condition the expense of fitting
up the halls for succeeding legislatures
will be nominal.

THE CLUBBING.
Tho Police Committee investigating the
Matter.

There was a star chamber session OF
the police committee last evening, and a
number of witnesses were examined as
to the Adamson-Thomason clubbing case.
Reporters were excluded, but THE LEAD
ER, by dint Of questioning, is enabled to
present a number Of facts in relation to
this move in the now celebrated case.
A majority of the witnesses testifying
endorsed the officer and he will doubtless
be exonerated by the committee. The
sentiment that MI. Thomason acted with
judgment prevails, though Mr.. Adam
sons friends are still quite indignant.
Those who uphold the policeman point to
the stockman's former escapades and
aver that the clubbing was tardy
and too gentle. While they hold
that the use OF the club is a
thing to be frowned upon they maintain
that there was no alternative for the
officer. who was well-nigh exhausted in
his struggles with the frenzied man. Be
sides they say that a policeman who fails
in an attempt to arrest a man is unworthy
a place on the force.
Mr.. Adamson is still warm over what
he terms the outrage and will press his
case against the officer. bis injured hand
was less painful yesterday.
So far as could be learned the conduct
of Officer De:trick was not referred to at
the session Of the police committee.
