BUNCoMBE In BIG DOSES.

The Republicans of Wyoming at their
territorial convention held in Laramie
City Yesterday threw down the gauntlet
in the. shape of a platform and declared
themselves ready for business. The pre-
amble of the platform recites that the
Republicans of the territory having had
''in common with all the people of this
nation, during nearly four years of Demo
cratic rule, an opportunity to learn some
what of the principles, plans, purposes
and tendencies of the Democratic party,
believe that that organization has shown
itself incapable of government, unable to
i~ntelligently comprehend the great prob
lens of the hour, and that it has been
faithless to its trust"
1t would be difficult to compress within
the contracted limits of a dozen lines OF
cold type more pure buncombe than the
Republicans of Wyoming have hers
calmly subscribed to. To what particular
trust has the party in power been vi
faithful aud in what respect has it shown
itself incapable of government Despite
all partisan predictions to the contrary,
despite a vigorous waving of the bloody
shirt and amidst shrieks that the rebel
debt would surely be paid, the country
has moved along in the even tenor of Its
way. The administration from the very
outset has been clean and conservative
onl oHar tbraa taara tho mOqt frvInu
since the reconstruction period, its in
tegrity stands ~unimpeached and unim-
peachablc.
The administration is specifically crit,
cized on the four following points: First,
its failure to appoint residents of the ter.
ritory to the federal offices; second, for
the failure of the party to admit some
territories to statehood; third, because OF
its land administration, and fourth be-
cause of its tariff views.
As to appointment of residents of the
territory to federal offices, the Democrats
are open to exactly the same criticism,
with the national platforms of both par.
ties as a basis, as is the Republican party.
But the Republicans of this territory
have certainly little to complain of in this
respect. When the Democrats came into
power none Of the Republican office hold
ers showed any overwhelming anxiety to
hand in their designations, and several Of
them held their officers until the terms for
which they were appointed had expired.
, 1888-05-06

Several of the territories, notably Da-
kota, are ripe for admission into the
Union. In the case of Dakota there is a
well settled conviction hat it should be
divided before being admitted to the priv
ileges of statehood. With its relatively
poor railroad facilities, Yankton on the
east, to a man living in Deadwood
on the west, seems almost as
far away as the Atlantic seabeard.
Physically the sections have little in com
mon. The unwieldy proportions of the
territory makes a strong government an
impossibility, and has proven IN in
centivc to disgraceful jobbery. The fail
ure to admit the territories is not so much
due to partisan prejudice as it is to the
fact hat the representatives from the
small Eastern states, regardless OF party.
are slow to acknowledge the fact that the
West is SO rapidly forging to the front,
and find in the ever ready reference to
Nevada deterioration an excuse to decline
to do something which they have really
no desire to do.
All history proves that in the matter Of
reforms no medium course is known.
From the extremity in one direction they
run to the extremity in the other. The
administration of the land office under
Secretary Teller was the natural forerun-
ner of the administration of Secretary
Lamar. The laxity of the land office un-
der the Teller regime was simply stipend
GUS. The cry of land frauds attracted the
attention OF the whole nation and created
in the public mind of the East the strong
prejudlces since manifested against the
so.called land grabbcrs. Matters have
now, under Secretary Villas, reached their
Just level. Every man who is entitled to
land will receive a patent to it but those
who are not will be debarred without cere-
mony. The administration has lately
shown a disposition to give a liberal con-
struction to the laws. In recent opin-
ion by Secretary Villas his views are ex-
pressed with such judicial fairness and
liberality as to win the applause of the
entire West.
Regarding the tariff this unique plat
form says:
I'VE find that in spite of the warnings
OF history, and the protests of capital and
labor, the Democratic party is waging a
bitter and vindictive war on the industries
of the country, in attempting to practi-
cally repeal the existing tariff, thus as
sisting in building up the manufactures
of foreign countries at the expense Of III
own"
"Waging a bitter and vindictive war on
the industries Of the country" is a juicy
piece of rhetoric. 1t sounds nicely, but
what does it mean2 At the close of the
fiscal year on the Both of June next it is
calculated that there will be a surplus Of
$40, 900. 600 in the United States treas.
ury. This money is being drained day
after day from the pockets of the people
of the country and uselessly boarded up
in the government vaults at Washington.
Are the people to submit indefinitely to
this taxation when no way can be found
to honestly or legitimately expend the
money thus raised? If protection pro

tected the American workingmen, the
people would conscientlously favor the
scheme, but it has been demonstrated that
it only protects the capitalists who have
always shown signal ability in the direc-
ton of protecting themselves. We are
glad that the Republicans of Wyoming
favor the protection of American work
ingmen against the importation of
foreign s~ervile labor. They should
send a marked copy of this resolu-
ton to Mr.. b. F. Jones, of Pittsburg,
chairman of the Republican national
committee. who is perhaps the biggest
single handed importer of contract labor
in the country.
Speaking of the Mills bill the platform
says:
The Democratic party of the country
learning nothing, is determined to make
this assault upon the industries OF the
country more formidable and fraught
with more danger than the disastrous civil
war, which its leaders inaugurated and
which drenched the land in blood.
The Republicans of Wyoming will find
that the bloody shirt, after an
active use of twenty-five years,
has become effete and widowed.
Wyoming furnishes poor soil from which
to transfuse vitality into it.
There is one plank in the platform with
which we cordially agree. 1t is this:
We ask from congress such legislation
as will best promote the substantial
growth and development OF this territory
and its resources, and we believe to this
end that the bill now before congress for
securing the payment to the government
of the debt of the Union Pacific Railway
company and extending the time for
payment of the same should become a
law.

Chinese Snnerstifinns

A girl who is partaking OF the last
meal she Is to eat in her fathers house
previous to her marriage, sits at the
table with her parents and brothers; but
she must cat no more than half the bowl
of rice set before her, else her departure
will be followed by continual scarcity in
the domicile she Is leaving. If bride
breaks the heel of her shoe in going from
her fathers to her husbands house, it is
ominous Of unhappiness in her new reia-
tions. y piece Of bacon and parcel Of
sugar are hung on the back of a brides
sedan chair as a sop to the demons who
might modest her on her journey. The
"Three Baneful Ones are fond OF salt
and spices, and the white Tiger likes
sweets. A bride may be brought home
while coffin is in her husbands house,
but not within 100 DAYS after a coffin is
carried out. Domestic troubles are sure
to come upon one who is married within
100 days after funeral A bride, while
putting on her wedding garments, stands
in a round, shallow basket This con-
duces TO her leading placid, well
rounded life in her future home. After
her departure from her fathers door her
mother puts the basket over the mouth
of the oven to stop the mouths of all who
would make adverse comment on her
daughter, and then sits down before the
kitchen range, that her peace and leisure
may be duplicated in her daughters life.
A bride must not for four months after
her marriage, enter any house in which
there has recently been death or birth,
for if she does there will surely be a
quarrel between her and the groom. If
a young mother goes TO see a bride, the
visitor is looked upon as the cause of any
calamity that may foilOw.-Popnidr

The Lnie SnIfan Of Zanzibar.

The death of the Sultan Of Zanzibar
is bad thing for British influence on the
east coast of Africa, declares the New

Germany, which has been very active in

men-of-war anchored in mis- own harb0r
Lately he saw the error of his ways, and,
while winking at human traffic, took no
overt part in it His physicians and

army were Englishmen, and he was fond

good thing out of the re igious fervor of

Sultan was a free and easy sort of Mus
