demonstrate that the expense argument
was not at all applicable. The territorial
treasury was lessened from $4,000 to
$1,000 annually for office rent, while the
federal rental aggregated $4,000. Very
few officials had suitable quarters and
public documents were scattered in store
rooms about the city. Our SOS, 900 Ii
brary should be stored in a fire proof
building and the offices should be under
one roof. The university should
be completed by all means.
Tho third story other portions
of the building were unfinished. 1t had
been intimated that there was a combina-
ton on the asylum appropriation. Two
representatives of the locality to be bcne.
flied had voted against the bill. 1t was
unnecessary to say anything more on the
subject. The money could be used and
the asylum commissioners said that it was
necessary. His excellency had asked
where the money appropriated was to
come from. Wyoming had not called a
halt In development. -Four hundred
miles of railroad would be
constructed in the territory
next year and 200 miles had been built
since the last assessment. The counties to
be benefited paid the major portion Of the
tax. As to the penitentiarY, it would
take several years to complete that insti-
tuition. Perhaps the government was not
yearning to give the Laramie prison to
this territory. Finally, when Crook
county became populated, the locality
would doubtlessly make a successful bid
for some public institution.
Mr.. Hooper responded that the Wyo-
ming capitol was a more commodious
building than maintained by many wealthy
states. He was proud of the university
and believed in the establishment of pub
lie institutions, but protested against the
direct taxation. The congressional law
limiting territorial indebtedness had been
enacted on account of the extravaganza
of Legislators.
Mr.. Van Devanter stated that the Ari-
IONA lawmakers had appropriated extra

IN THE COUNCIL.
Enthusiastic applause greeted the pass
age Of the general appropriation bill over
the veto of the governor. There was no
argument on the question, but three hours
elapsed before the councilmen were pre-
pared to meet the issue. The lobbies
were filled with interested parties and
many a whispered consultation was held.
