SHOULD 1T BECOME A LAwt

We cheerfully give to the editor of the
Laramie Boomerang all the credit which
appertains to the possession of a vigorous
imagination and the liberal use of the
same. His latest discovery is that THE
LEADER has editorially favored the pass
age of Mr.. Sutherland's bill limiting the
selection of special officers in cases of
emergency to actual citizens of the terri.
tory. Were the Boomerang less richly
endowed with the imaginative faculty we
should be astounded at this assertion in
view of the fact that in these columns
only two days ago we asked for some ade-
quate reasons for the necessity of such a
law. The Boomerang kindly enlightens
us to the tune of three quarters of a col
umn of cold type, but its reasoning,
whilst no doubt eminently satisfactory to
itself, is unfortunately not equally so tous.
OF course Mr.. Sutherland's bill is
aimed TO prevent the importation of spc-
cial officers from outside the territory in
cases of riots where the local authorities
are either too feeble or disinclined to cope
with the situation. All other considera-
tons aside, even if the bill became a law,
how would Mr.. Sutherland or any of
those who urge its passage be benefited
by it? Suppose railroad traffic were in
terfered with to morrow and the transit
of the mails impcdcd, would a mere terri
torial enactment have the slightest infu.
ence ID deter a United States marshal, in
what he considered the strict performance
of his duty, from callingi in men from out
side the territory to aid him? Not a bit
OF it, for he receives his authority from a
higher source.
Our contemporary makes a sad and at
the same time pitiably weak plea for the
passage Of Tie bill when il alleges such
premises as these: ''ro prevent their
placing these E~coundrels with Winchesters
in their hands as a guard over property of
any kind in Wyoming Territory, when the
city and county authorities are able and
ready to furnish all required protection"
We do not wish to offend Laramie's
self love, but have they always been ready
and able to furnish all required protection?
And, so far as Wyoming is concerned,
have these imported special officers in
fringed or upheld the law? .
We sincerely hope there will never be
any further necessity for the importation
into Wyoming of such men, but we still
cling to our original proposition that the
advocates Of the bill have not yet adj
vanccd what have appeared to u salts
factory reasons for its passage.

THE THEATRICAL WORLD.
Redmund and Barry Monday and Ivy
Leaf Thursday.

Tomorrow night Redmund and Barry,
supported by a powerful company, will
present the romantic drama of Rene at
the opera house.
The play is a charming love story based
on the events surrounding the massacre of
st. Bartholomew, and the scene is laid in
Paris in the year 1872, during the Huguc-
not troubles and the stirring events of
that period afforded scope for many dra.
matte incidents and effective situations.
All religious controversy is eliminated
and the time and events arc merely used
as a vehicle for the d]clincation Of one of
the most romantic love episodes, 4 story
that lives not only as an ideal historical
event, but forms the subject Of the most
noted works of the famous artist Millais,
and known as THE Hugcnot Lover, "
and the picture is realized in the prologue
of the play.
w. II. Powers Icv Leaf will follow
Rene at the opera house on next Thurs
day, The play and company comc to us
well recommended from our Eastern
friends.
1t seems As though Kate ClaxtOn has
g play that will succeed, although the
title is almost enough to kill it. The play
is called The World AGAINST Her. Now
Workers have taken kindly to it.
4 UoL N the Ground, Chas. Hoyt's
latest, takes in railroad life at a station
known rs the Junction, where the accom-
modatious are limited. This gives Mr..
IIoyt a chance to ~saterize the big rail
roads. The antics of the b~aggageman,
the lunch counter girl, conductor and
crew with the characteristic travelling man
and other passengers are very funny and
ENJOYABLE
The w. T. Carleton Opera company
has made a great hit in San Francisco in
the new opera Doroaiy. Carleton will
produce the same in Cheyenne along with
another opera, Ermunie or the Merry Var.
By the way, E,miaie is approaching its
tooth performance at the Casino, New
York.
Woman against Woman gives that
famous little actress, Efie Ellsler, much
better opportunities than she had in
Hdzd KirLc. The little lady begins a
weeks engagement at the Tabor opera
house tomorrow night.
Rcdmuud and Barry travel in their W
special car Rene, especially fitted up Tor
the convenience of the company.
Special and elaborate scenery will be
used in the ley Leaf. Among the pleas
ing features will be new songs and selected
gems from Irish melodies, Irish jig and
reel dances. Tickets will be placed on
sale Tuesday morning.

On THE 5th of last May THE LEADER
was designated as the official paper of the
city by the city council. Under the reso-
luton then adopted all official advertising
was to be published IN this paper. The
resolution here referred to has never been
rescinded, and yet the chairman of the
committee on printing, a newly elected
member of the council named Elebard,
has the assurance to turn owe. to the Sun
for publication the annual reports oE the
city treasurer and city clerk. Now
wouldn't it have been Just as well for all
concerned to have first gone through the
formality OF resembling the resolution
designating this as the official paper and
substituting the Sum instead? Or does
the chairman of the printing committee
consider himself a bigger individual than
the whole city council and therefore not
circumscribed in his partisan iuclinatious
or trammeled by the legal conventional
ties which hedge in less lofty intcllcctS?
Perhaps a word of explanauon will he
deIgned by the Eddy street journalistic
luminary, or mayhap that intellectual
athlete, Mr.. EIebard himself, will step
forward and clucidate the why's and where
fores of this high handed proceeding.

rs he LOSING HEART

The ways and means committee is max
ing haste slowly over the new tariff bill.
Mr.. Mills is becoming less enthusiastic
and fears but little can be done. The
old.time vigor with which he wss wont
to denounce the robber tariff has de-
serted him. The hurrah of the horny
handed yeomen, which greeted his we'll
rounded sentences as he told them
Of their inalienable and heaven
descended right to buy where
they could buy the cheapest
and sell where they could secure the best
price for their products, has died out aud
the buzz Of the tariff barons and the
Establishments of the lobbyists fill his
ears. His right hand man, Mr.. Scott, has
q bill which, with the aid Of four or 1Ve
assistants, he can read, and that ID as far
as the work of the committee has pro-
crossed. Mr.. Mills, like March, cana in
like lion, and will evidently go OUT like
lamb. He will not read Randall out of
the party. Samuel has bean mighty quiet,
but the chances are that he will continue
his membership in the Democratic party.
Thus passeth ell worldly glory! The
rampant tariff refsrmers around the coun-
try school houses are willing to compro-
mise when they get to the national capitaI.
The dogmatic thunderings of reform that
startle the ears of constituents in butter
nut jeans and cotton stripes,pass through
varying stages until they end in whispers
to tariff narops in broadcloth. It Is Diff
cult to belief that the good right hand Of
Mr.. Mills has lost It's cunning and that 1t
can no longer smite the tariff iniquity
President Cleveland has staked his all on
tsrif reform, AMI Mr.. Mills should not
desert him. The honest Democrats Of
the country do not fear defeat;
they are willing to be defeated
rather than compromise with wrong,
The issue is made up and expediency
can fad no abiding place in the camp OF
the Democracy. Mr.. Mills should make
his fight for tariff reform or go down
nobly in defeat with flying colors, and
with his party and President accompany
ing him.

ANOTHER FARCE.

Another jury has been found to equal
The Jury in Galveston that acquitted Burk,
the confessed defaulter, and Houston can
no longer point the fluger Of scorn at the
olesnder City. 1t will be remembered
that Burk WAS treasurer Of Galveston
county and that he decamped with, 1t is
said, several thou ends in bonds, besides
considerable money. he went to New
Zealand, became penitens and returned to
San francisco where, upon his own solic-
itsti-n, the sheriff Of Galveston county
went after. him and brought him home.
He preciaimed his guilt from the house
tops and proclaimed himself peni-
tent and anxious to suffer for
his sins. He was tried by 8 jury Of his
peers and acquitted. Now comes Hous
ton: Some yesrs ago Nelson T. Davis
WAS collector of taxes, from 1876 to 1880,
aud was considered sans peur ct sans re-
proche. He WAS hale fellow and num-
bered his friends by the battalion, but in
an unlucky moment missed the nonina
ton for another term, became frightened
and dec.mped, In company with his
deputy, Mr. W. a. Conc. Lynx eyed Of
fcers were on the watch for the fugitives,
taking great good care no! to find them,
and they remained swsy. The fact of
the embszzlement OF some $4,000 was
most clearly established, 80 much go that
he boadsmen of Mr. Davis made
good the deficit and, when the
sccueed was tried on Tuesday,
by jury OF his peers, he was acquitted,
there being insufR lent evidence upon
which to convict. twill now be in or.
der for the bondsmeu of Mr.. Davis to re-,

Sppropriating funds bis bondsmen surely

CHIEF JUSTICE WILLIE RESIGNS.
He Leaves the Bench to Practice Law at
Galveston.

He Leaves the Bench to Practice Law at
Galveston.
Special to the Gazette.
GALVESTON, TEX, Feb. 15.-For sev-
ersl days rumors have been current in
legal circles that Chief Justice Asa 81.
Willie was contemplating resigning his
Office for the purpose of enter ng the
well known law firm of Bsllinger, Mott &
Bsllinger, ss successor to the lamented
Judge W. P. Ballinger. The rumors
were verified to day oy the members of
the firm and by Judge Willie himself. In
an interview this evening the Chief JUS
tice stated to your correspondent that be
had accepted q proposition from Msjor
NJ Z. Mott and Thomas j. BalliDger to
form co-psrtnership for the
practice OF law under the firm
name of Willie, Mott & Ballinger
Judge Willie stated that his resignation
of the Office of Chief Justice had been
signed and would be Forwarded to Gov
ernor koss by to-nights mail, to take
effect on the 8 OF March next. This an
nouncemens excites great interest In
legal circles here, and will doubtless Gre
ate something of sensation in political
snd legal circles throughout the state at
large. Judge Willie was ftst elected AS
sociste Justice Of the Supreme court in
1866, with Senator Coke and Judge s. P.
Donley, all OF whom were removed py
federal military authorities. He then
removed from Marshall, Tex, to Calves
ton snd formed partnership with Judge
G. L. Cleveland. In 1879 he WAS chosen
Congressman st Large, serving one term.
In November, 1882. he WAS elected Chief
Justice, and has held thst office continu-
ously, filling it with the NEST distin-
gulshed, ability. He was strongly in
dorsed to President Cleveland last fall By
the bar of Texas as a fit successor to
Justice Wood on the Supreme bench of
the Uoited Ssatee. For years Judge
Willie has been recognized by the bar OF
Texas as 1t ablest repre-. entative. AS g
jurist he has no superior Ia the s1uth.
rhe bench suffers great loss in Judge
Willie, bat his home friends congratulate
him on the change because of the pecunI-
sry benehs that will accrue to him.
The salsry Of the highest Judicial cfflce
in Texas is only $500 per year, and 1t is
estimated that Judge Willie's income, as
head Of the new law firm, will spprcxt-
mate nearly $50, 900, IS the recent firm of
BalliDger, NJ tt & Balllneer enjoyed, per-
hsps, the most Lucrative practice in the
south. The junior mem5er OF the new
firm is the only son Of the late Judge W.
P. BsllInger. II Is generally thought
here that Governor Ross will Sppoint
Associate Justice John W. S.ayton to be
Chief Justice pending the election Of the
new supreme bench this fSll.
