THE Laramie Boonperdng's discovery
that railroads are built by money and not
by wind while not strikingly new at least
possesses the merit of being based upon
rock ribbed truth. The back files of our
contemporary, however. will show Lara
mic as a hub from which railroads radiate
in all directions, and everyone Of them
built by the unsubstantlal commodity
known as wind. AS all of the boomerang
railways are air lines it might be unjust
to enter an objection to this proceeding.

the valuation placed upon it by the as.
SCISSOR.
THE LEADER does not favor exorbitant
taxation nor any ]extravagant expenditures
which may lead to it, but we are aware
that on no other subject are people so out
r~ageously unreasonable. In individual
cases there is often cause for objection,
but there are legal and proper methods by
which unjust assessment may be equal
lied.
In discussions OF this sort the county
commissioners should at least be treated
with common decency, for the simple fact
of their holding such an office should not
necessarily place them outside the pale OF
the law.

JSo. +. CARROLL. Editor.
LE7 Us Ia RE4SONABLE.


1t is too bad that the county commits
%sioners, Tor the individual edification of
the editor OF the Sun, have not so far
seen fit TO override all Legislative enact
ment which restrict them in their at
tempt to e~qualizc the taxes. When the
chairman OF the several boards of county
commissioners last spring fixed the valua-
ton of $ll on each head Of ordinary range
cattle, what bloated b%ondholder in the
country would have been willing 10 buy up
a big bunch of them at that valuation?
Who will now say that $50 is not a fair
average price for the run of a bunch of
range cattle2
Bat this question is neither here nor
there. The legislature has. in its wis
dom, fixed the manner in which the as
sessable value Of live stock is regulated.
Beyond this no board of county commits
siUners can go, and it is in the highest de-
gree unreasonable to ask them to trans
cend their powers, which are so clearly de-
fined by the statute.
In the dullest times the burthen of AK
alton always falls heaviest because people
are then less able financially TO meet the
demands put upon them. Taxation Of
every description is an evil. but unfor-
t%unately a necessary evil. 1t would be
much pleasanter and in every way more
desirable if people could secure protec-
ton for their lives and property without
contributing a cent for the maintenance OF
the government, but it is sad to realize
that the ingenuity Of mortal man has
never yet conceived a system by which it
can be done.
1t is a noticeable fact that those who
have the. greatest share OF worldly goods
aud are best able TO pay taxes are usually
the ones who m ost s]trenuously object to
doing so and howl loudest when compelled
to come to the front. No one who has
examined the subject practically can for a
moment doubt that the poor man pays
relatively much higher taxes than his
rich neighbor and yet strange to relate the
complaint usually comes from the latter.
As to the taxation in Cheyenne there
may be a few exceptional cases where the
assessment is based on Il higher valuation
than 80 per cent, but the vast majority is
less than that. Much of the property
was held last spring, and is now for that
matter, at 500 or 900 per cent higher than

A NEW DAILY PAPER.

The irrepressible Ferdinand Wilhelm

and is now the publisher of a daily news
paper. 1t is known as the Laramie Dahl
Times. OFT is one of the characters of Wyo'
ming journalism. Only a few years age
he sprung upon the public a weekly paper
known as WyOning and lis Future. which
was designed to represent and champion
the interests not of a single town but OF
the whole territory. He started into
business with a few quarts of s%uperanua-
ted type and a very limited English vocab'
ulary. He made the best available use Of
both, The energy he has displayed and
the obstacles he has overcome IN his
struggle for a footnold have been remark
able. Since his removal to Laramie he
has gradually but steadily added to his
plant, and with the assistance of an ener-
getic wife he has pulled farther to the
front than most people give him credit
for.
His daily paper is Democratic in poll.

faith in Albany county. While we have
very frequently had occasion to disagree
with Prof. OFT, We can sincerely compli-
ment him on his energy and perseverance,

superior in the profession in the territory.

Claims a Pension.

ELKNART, Ind, Feb. 29.-Much interest
is centred at present in Mrs. Hooker, well
known lady here, who has appeared before
the pension board and made formal CLAIM
to pension based on the fact. that she was
an enlisted soldier of the late war, served
three years and was twice wounded. AT the
breaking ont of the war, Mr.. Hooker was
appointed first lieutenant and bis wife &C
companied him to the front, She vas ena-
bled to do this by clever piece of strategy
A young man who bore some resemb aYce
to her was induced to submit himself to The
necessary examination and when the op-
portunity presented itself, the young woman
properly uniformed, changed places with
MIN. With her husband she has lived here
several years and ia fmi'iarly known as
Colonel" Hooker The outcome CT Der
claim is looked forward to with much Curl
osity.

aEarrihIe Crime.

Houston, Texas, Feb. 29.-News has
reached here of what is perhaps the most
horrible crime which has ever been perpe-
trated ia this section of she State. The
bloody tragedy Was enacted at settlement
known as Spanish Camp, about sixty miles
west of this city. Spanish Camp is compos-
ed Of Mexicans: negroes and desperate
whites aud is remote from railroads and
telegraph lines. and on this account only
meagre reports of The crime are obLsinabe.
Ga Sunday morning a negro cabin WAS set
on fire and the occupants brutaily shot down
az they ran, half awake, from the burning
cabin. Five were killed outright, one Sc
verey wounded and two were consumed in
the burning dwelling. 10 the same neigh
borhood the dead body OF a negro named
William Battle was found hanging to q tree
and it ia thought that he was hung on the
same night the other negroes were shot or
burned. The affair is said TO be the outcome
of a suit over the title of the land where the
negroes lived and which they had purcbas-
ed The suit was decided in favor Of the
negroes at the last term OF the district court
in Wharton. So far as heard no arrests
have been made, although tbs sheriff and
posse are on the ground.
