Hides are Taxed
,uls Republican.

st. Boms Republican.
How skillfully the tariff has been
constructed SO as to do the farming
interests as little good as possible,
and the manufacturing interests as
much good as possible, is illustrated
in the duties on leather. Leather is
made of hides, and hides are very
important product of the Western
cattle raising states. But the max
ing of leather and leather goods is
an Eastern industry, and it demands
cheap hides. There is no duty on
hides; therefore, they are admitted
freeAand so Western hides have to
compete in Eastern markets with
cheap hides imported from the Ar
genuine Republic and o. her countries
of South and Central America. But
the moment a Western hide passes
into the hands of an Eastern manu-
facturer the protective tariff begins
to work. There is duty of Is to
rs per cent. on tanned leather, and
80 to so per cent. on manufactured
leather. The tariff is adroitly ar.
ranged to admit foreign hides and
keep out foreign leather and leather
goods-to give monopoly of the
home market to the Eastern manu-
facturers, and deprive the Western
farmers of it. The Western hide is
even handicapped with a tax of 100
per cent. on the salt fed to the ami
mails that furnished it. Last year
foreign hides to the value of $26,
100000 were imported into the
country free Of duty.

An aged lady tottered from an elevator
car Of n high building on Penn venue one
afternoon recently and grasped q loo near
by for support. She was ashy pale, and
gasped for breath.
"If live through this 1 will never put
my foot inside an elevator again. she
walled, when at length she had become
somewhat composed. "That fellow
dropped me from the fourth floor like a
rocket, and 1 declare I can't get my breath
again. / am troubled with heart disease,
and my physician has warned me against
these elevators. 1 really believe my dis
Obedience has almost cost me my life"
And, indeed, MS she walked unsteadily
away, it occurred to the reporter that hes
alarm was not wholly uncalled for.

ed with heart palpitation to descend rap
idly in an elevator" said n well known

1.-THE finest of all canaries," said a
dealer, 'is the st. Andreasberg bird, so
called after one of the Hartz mountains,
Germany. st. Andreasberg is also the
name of q town of about 1000 inhabi-
tants, the principal industry of which is
raising ~canaries. Every one is in the
business there, but there are certain
breeders who give it more particular care,
and they have n great reputation through
out Germany. 1t is almost impossible to
import the very finest st. ADdreasberg
aanaries to this country. They are
snapped up by the big German fanciers,
who will pay as high as 400 or 500 marks
for n good singer. Think Of a canary
bird costing $150i
"The st. Andreasberg trained canary is
smaller and more delicate than the com
mon bird and its plumage is not so bright
and pretty. But its song is perfection.
BY judiciously mating the birds of the
most pronounced excellence the breeders
are able to produce those from
whose song all harsh notes have been
eliminated. The music which these little
fellows can trill forth is exquisite, but it
is all the result of the most careful in
struction. A perfectly trained canary
will always begin its song with a few
faint notes, which sound like the first
twittering Of birds at dawn heard when
you are fast asleep. 1t is n mere sugges-
ton OF q song. Then will come a roll
still very faint-in three ~octaves, first low,
then higher and then down again. Gradu-
ally the tone increases in volume until 1t
bursts forth in all its rich fitness. New

y Corcan is always ready to eat; he at
tack whatever he meets with, and rarely
says enough" Even between meals no
will help himself to any edibl that is

Eating matches are common. When

up, n beaping bowl OF the steaming mess

common article of food, and the canine
%sirloins, served up in great srenchers, are
laid before the guests, each one having
his own small table to himself. When
fruits, such as peaches and small melons,
are served, they are devourcl without
peeling. Twenty or thirty peaches is con-
sidered an ordinary allowance, which rap

PM. WATERMAN DEAD.
Unexpected News Received From New
York Last Evening.

A telegram received here last evening
by Ed. Kaufman announced the death of
Phil. ii. Waterman at the home OF his
parents in New York City. The news
was received with profound regret by a
host of Mr.. Waterman's acquaintance
who, while they knew he was seriously
sick, could hardly conceive hat a young
man apparently so robust in constitution
had so suddenly s%uccumbed.
Mr.. Waterman was about 30 years of
age. For eight years he lived in Chey-
enne, commencing here as a clerk but ul-
timately going into business for himself,
and building up an admirable trade.
About a year ago he began to suffer from
some strange malady, the nature of which
the doctors had much difficulty in fathom-
ing. He sought relief by various methods,
took short trips East and Vest and finally
sold out his business here and returned to
his home ia New York in the hope of
benefit from change of climate. For a
little while he appeared to improve and
made arrangements to go into business in
New York under very lattering auspices.
He was to become a junior partner IN a
well known firm on the very day that he
died. His disease was probably a spinal
affection.
MIR. Waterman was a prominent mem

His premature death will be sincerely re-

VIEw ED FROM UTAH.

There is no section of the country
which is being more thoroughly or more
generously advertised than is Wyoming.
Until within a year its vast
have remained undeveloped and compare.
lively unknown. People living here have
spoken of its timber. mineral resources,
oil, soda, copper, iron, building stone,
marble, mica, precious metals-of all its
hidden wealth-as a matter OF course.
With a single line of railroad passing
through the territory great development
could not be thought of, and besides the
cattle business, then so phenomenally pros
porous, completely occupied public atten-
ton and absorbed available capital. Peo-
pie had a very good thing then, and were
not disposed to pin their faith on anything
less tangible than bay.stcers. Things
are different now
Among the many really clever editorial
articles which we have recently read on
Wyoming, the following from the Salt Lake
Tribune, based on a review of our re-
sources covering a column and a half in
length, is the most appreciative and in
telligent: This ought to be a joyous
New Year to the men of Wyoming.
Heretofore it has been known mostly as a
stock raising territory. Its real wealth,
however. Is in its minerals, and they are
about to be made available by swift
communications. She has the mightiest
coal measures ever discovered; she has
the finest iron in America, and it is in in
exhaustible quantities; she has beds of
natural soda which are exhaustless, and oil
the volume of which promises to be a
new Pennsylvania when once opened.
And three great railroad have entered
her eastern border and are driving this
way, thus making available to
the treasures which heretofore have been
unavailable.
Fifty, yes twenty FIVE years hence Wyo-
ming is going to be the PENNSYLVANIA of
the West. And the beginning OF that
advance is close at hand. There will be
furnace fires there which will be n cloud
by day and n pillar of fire by night to sig
nal to the world the prosperity which
waits upon labor. The great plate=glass
works of America will be centered there.
The coal to supply the people north and
west will be mined there. This all means
work for thousands of men; it means the
prosperity that comes when great bodies
of men are regularly employed at generous
wages and promptly aud regularly paid.
The extent of the oil interests no mortal
can estimate, but il is certain that the in
dications exceed anything ever seen in
Pennsylvania. Then there is much agri-
cultural land and endless grazing, and be-
sides a good deal of gold and silver.
The territory has been waiting a long
time, but the crossing of it by two or
three railroads will start its onward march.
We congratulate our sister territory first
because of the good that is to come to her
and second because with the locomotives
started this way they cannot stop until
they break through its mountains into the
valleys of Utah, and that means n boom
for us. We congratulate our neighbors
on the approach of a new epoch for them,
one to be crowned with a ~fruition which
they as yet do not begin to realize, and so
on this New Year morning we repeat to
them the old toast We are looking for
you.
