secretary HO0r,

II is understood that MI. Hoar, of
Massachusetts,, aspires to DO Secretary
of State in the event Of the election of a
Republican President. In fact ne
makes no secret Of his aspiration. In
the presence Of number of his friends
the other night, when candidates were
being talked about, he said while the
Presidential bee had never buzzed in
his bonnet. he had from the very genesis
of his political career fixed upon tho
State Department as the goal of his am
bition. He was rapidly approaching
the age when he must retire from active
pursuits, but still he hoped he might
live to see another Republican elected
President and round out his public life
at the head of the Cabinet.

RENE.
4 Large Audience and a Fin Play at
the Opera House.

4 Large Audience ana n Fine Play at
the Opera House.
The play of Rene as presented last night
at the opera house by the Redmund-
Barry company was worthy OF the hearty
applause given, for it was conceded by all
to be as fine as given in this city for a
long time. 1t was fully $50 before the
curtain went up for the prologue, but at
that time the house was filed by a very
appreciativo audience. The plot of the
play is laid during the Huguenot rebellion
in Paris in 1872, and abounds in startling
situations. Mr.. Redmund, in tie title
role, gave a perfect rendition of the ardent
lover and true soldier and found the audi
encc fully alive to his good acting. Mrs.
Barry as the Duchess d. Armonvillo," in
portraying the loving mother, the wronged
mi and the tender foster mother had
many opportunities Tor fine acting, but it
would be too much to say that she always
was fully equal to the occasion.
Mr.. Fairbanks, as "Sergt. Locust, was
very amusing rs the French braggard
often found in the ranks of the army.
Miss Watts, as "Juanita," the Bohemian,
was good, especially in the prison scene,
when she tricks "Mousqueton'' and, also,
when she and Locust indulge in a little
comedy. Miss Sprague as Gabrielle"
made a very attractive looking lay figure.
The Ronaldos in their excentricities and
dances were very amusing.
Taken all through the play was even
more than has been claimed for it by the
press OF other cities.

TAKE A BROADER VIEW.

Our esteemed contemporary the Lara
mic Boomerang is a radical extremist in
many OF its views. In the matter of stock
legislation it becomes more rabid every
day, and the mere mention of a maverick
throws it into n spasm of incohcrcnt an
ger, such as that exhibited by a mad bull
when a red rag is ffaunted in his face.
For many years stockraising was the
only industry of the territory, Though
it capital was attracted here and largely
invested at a time when scarcely a dollar
would have been placed In any other en-.
terprise. Stockraising first gave the ter
ritory whatever reputation it has abroad
and through ii attention has been at
tracted to our vast mineral deposits, which
must ultimately prove a source of stupen-
dous revenue. But the cattle industry
which used to dominate everything else is
no longer what it was. Climatic condi.
tions here and elsewhere, overproduction
everywhere and combinations have
brought about ~ruinously low prices. The
giant industry which has brought us
wealth and prestige is now staggering
under a weight which drags it to the
ground. The face Of everyone not directly
engaged in the business Is turned against
it and there is a repetition of the old-time
cry 'Crucily him.
There have been things in the past his
tory of the Stock Association which we
have not hesitatcd to condemn and our
condemnation has offended many stock
men. But it should not be forgotten that
there have been things in the past history
of other organizations of this territory
which cannot receive the unqualified en-
dorsement of fairnihded people.
Whatever is wrong in existing stock
legislation should be richted. The LEAD.
Err has heretofore demanded this and now
rciterates its demand. Bullet us have an

end of d%emagogY, narrow preiudices and
indiscrlminate abuse. Let us not forget
that hundreds Of Wyoming men still
have thousands of dollars invested in this
industry; that they have contributed
enormously to our and wealth,
and that the amount Of taxes which they
pay is still infinitely larger than is paid by
any other class in the territory. Then
why this continual and persistent howl all
along the line? Haven't these citizens
and taxpayers some rights which other
citizens and taxpayers are bound to re-
spect? Is all our legislation to be the re-
suit Of bitter prejudices or are we to look
at all questions from the broad standpoint
Of the general good?
Let us have a truce with the prevailing
ant. The cry of Down with stockmen''
is a popular one. but THE LEADER is not
seeking popularity that is founded in
prejudice. 1t believes in fairness to all
classes and conditions of men. There is
no public newspaper with u proper con-
ccption of ITS mission which should not
demand equal and exact justice. There
is still an immense amount of money in
vested IN the cattle industry. Other in
dustries have sprung up within late years,
but none have yet achieved the same
commanding importance. This fact is
too frequently lost sight of in discussing
the question.
But were it the poorest and most strug-
Cling industry in the territory we should
still insist that it be treated in a spirit of
fairness. Give it exactly the amount of
consideration that is due it. Give no
more, but give it no less.
Above all let us have no legislation
which is the result of unthinking preju-
dice, either for or against.

SOME POINTS To CONSIDER.

SOME FONTS To CONSIDER.
In one of the city churches on Sunday
evening the question of whether or not
gambling should be abolished was put to
n vote and but one or two persons in the
audience refrained from voting afirma-
lively. If by a simple vote or by legisla.
tive enactment all men could be made
honest and the social and other evils
wiped out the government Of this world
would be comparatively plain sailing.
But, unfortunately for millenial purposes,
all legislation must be the outgrowth Of
well defined public sentiment Public
opinion makes laws; when laws transcend
public opinion they are a nullity and use
lessly cucumber the statute books. In
other words men cannot be legislated
honest.
Evil is a fixed fact in the world and a
much more active principle than good.
There are certain evils in life which in
the present stage OF public opinion and
moral development must be tolerated.
They are evils nonetheless but they cannot
be eradicated at this phase Of the worlds
progress. The attention of broad minded
publicists and practical men of affairs is
therefore directed toward their mitigation,
in the belief that ultimately the world
may perhaps outgrow them.
Gambling is one of these evils. No
one with any practical knowledge OF the
world will close his eyes to the fact that
gambling is vicious and oftentimes car
ries with it fearful consequences. Through
it much hardship is cntailed on innocent
persons, though it is probable that il
gambling were not at the bottom Of it
some other existing evil would be. New
ertheless were it possible to wipe it out
of existence by legislative enactment,
every fair minded man in every commu-
nifty would favor the law. But is it pos
sible so long as the many times million
aires who have made their money in stock
gambling are the social lions OF the great
commercial centers of the country, and
are awarded more public consideration
than the men who have made their money
in legitimate trade?
We do not believe it is.
When public sentiment is educated up
to a proper appreciation of the evil effects
attendant upon gambling the question
will solve itself. Premature radical legis-
lation will p~recipitate on every community
in the territory a horde of irresponsible
blacklcgs, who will prove a constant source
of trouble to the police and grave oTensos
against the law will follow us a matter OF
course.
We cannot afford to coniound the what
is with the what ought to be. If legiti-
mate gambling canno nov be wiped ont
without cntailing worse evils. before rashly
undertaking the task let us pause to CON
slider the consequences Our own delib
crate conviction is that mitigation will at
present more closely strike the root of the
evil than eradication. Let the business
be conducted less openly and more moder-
ately. Let it be relocated to upper floors
and be strictly under police surveillance.
Let the question be considered practically
in all its bearings-then perhaps the lcgis-
lature will wisely make haste slowly.

Fred Bohnstedt, the new and second
hand dealer at IT'S Eddy street, adjoin-
ing the hook and ladder house, wishes to
inform the public that the only effect hard
times have upon him is to lower the
prices of his goods so tina; they are within
the reach of the poorest. He buys for
cash, but sells on monthly payments,
which makes it very convenient for every
one who deals with him. His business
has grown so much owing to his low
prices and square dealing that he is about
to add a 100 foot addition to his already
large storeroom. Mr.. Bohnstedt is the

Territorial Council

In the absence of President Riner, who
is i'll, the upper house was called to order
by Chief Clerk Hosford. On motion
Mr.. Hammond, Councilman Smith of
Carbon county, was chosen to preside.
COMMUNICATIONS.
A message from his excelleucy the gov
ernor announced the approval of the
council file making an appropriation for
the relief of the territorial board of
equalization in the matter of the ex-
penses of the commission fixing the live
stock valuation last year.
The council was notified OF the action
of the house in appointing a special com
mittee with power to formulate a new
code of school laws. The council com
mittee to act in conjunction with the
house body has not yet been selected.
Reports of a number of standing com-
mittees were received and disposed of in
the usual manner, approved subject to
subsequent action by the council.
A I'LL TO COME.
Mr.. Symons, Albany county, gave no
ticc that he would to-day introduce a bill
amendatory to the operative statute in re-
gard to be trial of civil cases by jury.
A SUBSTITUTE.
The committee to which had been re-
ferred Mr.. Hadsell's bill defining q legal
fence in the territory, reported back to the
council a substitute for the original meas
uro with the recommendation that the
substitute pass. The returned document
was referred to an appropriate commit
tee.
READY FOR APPROVAL.
Two house bills passed the council and
only await the signature of the governor
to become laws. The first was Mr.. Van
Devanter's amendment to the statute re-
lative to assignments.
The second measure adopted by the
upper body was introduced in the house
by Mr., Adams. 1t repeats that section
of the revised statutes establishing a
standing reward for the apprehension OF
stock thieves, highway robbers and train
wreckers. The sum paid for the arrest
and conviction Of these criminals is $3.50,
and has at times been quite a source Of
revenue to sheriffs and other officers il
the territory.
Yesterdays session of the..council lasted
but a trifle more than an hour and was
devoid of interest to lovers of the sensa-
tional.
