who held to the sugar plum for nine

ments from the territories, and began by
appointing residents, viz: Carr and Camp
bell, and the dominant reason Why it was
not continued was the inability to agree
and cooperate among resident applicants
in the territory. But Judge Carey GER
tainly knows that the president of the
United States, and not the people of this
or any etheE+erritnrY has the right to Sc
lect and commission federal officers. If
Wyoming should be admitted tomorrow
her people would have no more voice
than they have now in the selection of
federal officers. The only difference it
would make would be in the governor and
secretary. The people would elect a gov
ernor and he appoint a secretary. All
the land office officials and the United
States marshal, surveyor general, etc.
would continue intact, be appointed and
be paid by the United States government
Just as they are to day in Colorado. No
one knows this better than the Judge, but
he does not so state. His whole statement
is intended to be misleading touching fed
eral officials. He says hat the govern
ment at Washington gives this territory
$50, 600 per year, and that the most of
that money goes into the salaries of the
territorial officers appointed by the presi-
dent. This is partially true; the officers
are paid by the United States, and rightly
so, for they are in charge of the affairs
and the property of the United States,
but their salaries are in no sense a gift to
the territory. He does not mention the
fact that the United States pays
the salaries and expenses of the
Wyoming legislature, amounting to about
$685. 900 every two years. He lays peculiar
stress on the fact that "We have not in
this territory one officer who is appointed
from among the residents, whose duty is
the expenditure of territorial money"
Now what does he mean to imply. Does
he mean to say that the president has the
appointment of a single United States
official whose duty ''it is to expend terri
torial money" Ii so which one? The
judge knows!full well hat no federal Off
cial has the expenditure OF a single dol
lar of territorial money. The only one of
the federal officials who has the expendi-
ture of even United States funds beyond
the incidents of his own office, is the sec
rotary Of the territory, who pays the leg
islators and Legislative expenses, out of
funds furnished by the federal govern
ment. IF he referred to the territorial
officers appointed by the governor, then
the auditor, treasurer, the capitol, uni
versity, penitentiary. asylum and poor
house commissioners are each and all of
them residents of the territory. His
screed is partly false and partly mlslead-
ing and comes at best with poor grace
from a man who came as a Pennsylvania
tramp with a federal commission and has
been a continuous Office holder under a
party whose record, considering the diff
erence in time will not average with the
Democratic record as to even the matter
of appointing federal officials from the
territory. The crusade against the living
and the dead federal officials who have
come to Wyoming in the same boat with
Mr.. Carey has no decency and no strength
to 1t. Out of his own mouth is he con-
demned.
AS to the tariff question, he says if the
tariff was taken off coal no coal would be
mined in the territory. The tariff On
coal is not touched by the Mills bill but
is left exactly as it was. The character of
glass manufactured at Laramie is not
affected by the Mills bill, though the
Judge e%ndeavors to leave a different i'm
preston. Only three Wyoming products
are affected by the proposed reduction in
this Democratic measure. They are wool,
copper and soda. Many sheep men favor
the removal Of all tariff from wool, and
as was shown in the speech of Mr.. Camp
bell the effect will be to stimulate the in
dustry, as was the case with the removal
of the tariff from hides. As to soda in
Wyoming 1t requires no skilled labor in its
manufacture. The native article is not
eNeh NJ" oSlus useu al lue I4dIdnle glass
works, but instead is imported from St.
Louis. When it is produced here there
need be no fear Of competition with the
prevailing railroad tariff. As to copper
this country produces one-tAird of the
worlds product and is an exporter and
not an importer. Therefore the tariff on
copper annot possibly cut a figure.
Judge Carey rides a hobby on the fact
that he succeeded IN passing a bill
through congress permitting the leasing
OF the university lands. He does not say
that the proposition was never entertained
by a Republican congress, but by a Dem
ocratic house which gave him considera-
| tinn hecnuae he had henn clnntnd Militant
