HALF H BATTLE.
Mr.. Guernsey's County Bill Passes
the Council.
An immigration Bill Introduced by
Mr.. Roberts.
The Registration Bill Greatly
Altered in the House.
Territorial Council.
A SINGLE BILL.

a SINGLE BILL.
But one bill was introduced in the up
per house yesterday, a measure by Mr..
Symons declaring the signing of a false
certificate, acknowledgement or iurat a
misdemeanor and providing a penalty for
the commission of the offense specified.
KILLED.
Wednesday consideration OF the usury
bill introduced in the house by Mr.. Grant
was indefinitely postponed. Yesterday
the vote by which this action was taken
was reconsidercd with the result that the
bill was voted down. The opposition
claimed that the measure was discriminat-
ing in its nature.
REFERRED.
A resolution by the canyassers of the
territorial vote, complained that sufficient
information did not accompany the re-
turns transmitted to the secretary by the
county clerks. The matter was referred
to the election committee.
UNANIMOUSLY.
Mr.. Symons' bill repeating that chapter
of the revised statutes providing for the
official survey of bitches passed the coun-
Gil without opposition.
FAVORABLE.
Mr.. Bliss, chairman of the committee
on public health and morals, returned to
the council Mr.. Holidays anti-gambling
bill with the recommendation that it pass.
COUNTY Bill PASSED.
Mr.. Guernsey's much talked of county
bill was read a third time and placed upon
its passage. Mr.. Organ was the only
voter in the negative on the call of the
roll.
This measure is a general enabling act
practically creating the counties of Mo
brara, Fetterman and Sheridan, and pay
ing the way for the organization of Natro-
MIA county. The boundaries of the pro-
posed subdivisions of the territory have
already been given by THE LEADER.
County division is the most important
question now before the people. Not a
property owner in the territory east of
Sweetwater county has failed to express
an opinion on the subject.
The passage of the bill in the council is
a surprise to many, as it was reasonably
certain several days ago that it would
meet with vigorous opposition.
The struggle will occur in the house,
where the plottcrs are already at work.

'Surely you would not open the win
dows upon the night air." demonstrated
one in the hearing of Miss Florence
Nightingale.
"What would you open it upon2"
asked the great nurse. ''You cannot
have anything but night air in the night,
and it is simply a question whether you
will have it fresh or stale and impure"
There are the most extraordinary ideas
in regard to ''night' air, as if there
was something evil in it because it is
night air. This is absurd. The exhala-
lions may be more evident to the senses
in the evening than in the day time, and
the dampness in the atmosphere more
penetrating in the absence of the sun,
but an atmosphere that is malarial at
night is malarial in the day time; it is
owing to bad drainage or some cause that
is inherent in the soil, and making and
keeping it stagnant will only add t. the
mischief it is bound to cause. Good air
is good at night as well as in the day.

House OF Representatives
PASSED WITHOUT INCIDENT.

hlliObl lNNlbENl-
The following bills were read a third
time and passed the house. With the
exception of Mr.. Roberts bill allowing
the release of dover by married women
there was no opposition to any of the
measures. On a call of the roll on this
act Mr.. Summers voted in the negative.
Peace has been declared since the depart
ure of the maverick bill and no wordy
contests occurred.
Council file No. G, fathcrcd by Mr..
Smith, of Sweetwater county, repeats the
law providing that the secretary as well
as the governor shall approve the bonds
OF territorial officers. The present proco-
durc is cumbersome and the second APP
proval regarded unnecessary by those best
informed on the subject
Mr.. Lafrentz' resolution providing for
the publication of reports of the auditor
and geologist and the governor message,
was transmitted for the action of the
council. These documents will be printed
in editions of 1900, $500 and 1900 re-
spectively.
MIR. Roberts measure regulating the
appointment and conduct of n~otaries
public in the territory, and specifying the
name in which their bonds shall be
filed and approved, was passed without
opposition.
Contrary to expectation there was no
discussion on Mr.. Grants bill for an act
changing the time for the election of
members of the legislature and county
officers. In the event that this measure
becomes a law the %assemblymcn will be
chosen but a few months from the time
of the converting of the legislature, and a
general election will occur every year in
stead of bicnnually, as at present.
The repeal of the special law in rela-
ton to the running at large of bulls on
the Laramie plains, suggested by Mr..
Adams, was favorably acted upon by the
house. The impression that the opera
tive stock laws will be unacceptable on
the close of the session is obtaining. No
one seems to object, however.
As stated above, Mr.. Roberts measure
permitting the release of dover by mar
ried women was passed with but one vote
in the negative.
ATTACHMENTS.
Mr.. Snyder, Uinta county, gave notice
that at an early day he would introduce a
bill for an act to amend and re enact that
section of the revised statutes providing
for the inventory and appraisement Of
property attached in garnishec proceed
ings.
IT Is LEGAL.
After celebrating in the premises for
several days and carefully reviewing the
, 1888-02-10

The need of a practical registration
law is keenly appreciated whenever an
election is held. At such times every
honest voter feels tho necessity of such a
law to guard the sacredness of the ballot
box and maintain the purity Of elections.
As matters now stand everything is at
loose ends, so that it is oftentimes more
than difficult to secure an honest express
sion of the peoples will. The regis
tation bill which is now before the
Legislature possesses many commendable
features, but from present indications it
will be let go by default and the same
loose system which has SO long prevailed
will continue TO prevail.
Our present election laws are in many
respects a farce. They will stand a great
deal Of improvement, and it seems to us
the Legislature should give the matter
some further attention.

COUNTY DIVISION.

The vote received by Mr.. Guernsey
bill in the council yesterday proved a sur
prise to many people who were prepared
for quite a different outcome. The fact
that it passed almost unanimously in such
q body as the council will 20 far to dem
onstrate hat the bill possesses many COM
mendable features. In drawing up the
bill Mr.. Guernsey does not appear to have
been hedged in by any factional or local
preiudices. He has looked at the ques-
ton broadly, with the natural result of
having a strong case to present and one
that appeals to the common sense of
those to whom it is presented. While the
boundaries of several proposed counties
are defined by his bill, the matter is still
left entirely with the people, who may or
may not assume the responsibilities of
new county organization Just as they feel
inclined.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
there is a very strong sentiment in favor
of county division. People appreciate
that new counties tend to the more rapid
settlement of the territory and the found.
ing of new towns, while at the same time
the importance OF old towns is increased.
The situation of affairs at present pre-
sents some peculiarities which should not
be overlooked. The assessable values are
not increasing as rapidly as they might be
and county government costs a good deal
more money than some people affect to
believe. If Mr.. Guernsey's bill becomes
a law there is no doubt that the organiza-
ton of Niobrara and Fetterman counties
will be effected as soon as possible. To
the people living in those sections THE
LEADER wishes to give the advice that
they look the situation over carefully be-
fore they take this step. II it is then
their sober conviction that county divi-
siyn will accomplish the good they seek,
let them by all means organize. If it is
not, let them look before they leap.

THE TRICK RIII-

Some time since The LEADER called
attention to a bill introduced into the
house by Mr.. Cummock which provided
that employees in this territory hereafter
be paid in lawful money of the United
States. At the time it was stated that we
could not unreservedly commend all the
provisions of the bill, but if
it was aimed to remedy
certain evils that were alleged
to exist the subject should receive thor
ough ventilation in the house. The
trouble was said to consist chiefly in the
TACT that the coal miners in the western
part of the territory were coerced into
dealing at certain designated stores, and
when they failed to do 50 pretexts were
readily found for their discharge. This
was certainly a very serious state of
affairs.
Not wishing to enter the matter blindly
we set on foot AZ investigation and as far
as it has gone we arc firmly convinced
that the charges consist chiefly OF moon
shine. So far as We can learn no coercion
whatever is being practlscd and the sys-
tenn works to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, though there may be individual
exceptions.

Let us sail far away,
Far away to the sky, blue and high.
Tell me what we will see, baby bye,
You and II
AL around we will go
On a pretty rainbow, -
Far away in the sky, blue inc high.
We will hide in the clouds, baby bye,
You and /,
We will laugh at the sun,
And away he will run,
Till his face disappears from the sky.
o! the man in the moon, baby bye,
You and /,
We will worry and tease
Till we get him to sneeze
Just to look at the crick in his eye.
We will say, "Mr. Moon" baby bye,
You and /,
'Is it true, If you please,
You are made of green cheeseY
Do they nibble you up in the skyY'
With the dear little stars, baby bye,
You and 1,
AS they twinkle and peek,
We will play hide-and-seek
Till we chase them all out of the sky.

The Contrast.

It is reported that Gladstone, in re-
ceiving the presentation on behalf of
the Birmingham workmen, offered to
support 9 practicable scheme to re-
move the pecuniary difficulty of be-
coming member of Parliament. He
said it was consistent with the absolute
independence and equality between
representative werkmen in the House
and other members. It is very remark
able that whilst the people of the old
countries are working to overcome the
preponderance of power in the hands
of men by reason of wealth, we in
this country are building up and sus-
tanning men whose avoWed object is 10
rule in national and local matters, and
in opposition to the interest of the
masses of the people. The people by
the exercise of the franchise have de-
cided in favor of capital, which in all
lands has forged the chains, and bound
labor to a mere existence. To our
mind, it is clear that America is be-
coming unamericanized by the foreign
element that is forcing its way into
national politics before it is properly
educated to the genius of American
institutions. The questions of the day
are not met by calm deliberations and
individual judgment. Our own local
affairs are subject to an opposition
from those who are guided by passion
and lust for gold. Our national at
fairs suffer from the same causes. Men
will not stop to examine principle.
Interest and the power to rule lead men
blindly along until it will be too late to
retrace their steps to the temple of
liberty and constitutional government.
Division and opposition to the govern
ment by the people were never more
strongly portrayed than has appeared
all through the struggle for the national
patronage that is just over. We hope
for better things, but we fear for the
future. Luxury and wealth are not a
true index or evidence of national pur-
ity and power. Nations have passed
away and their greatness has been as
the chaff of the summers threshing
floor. and all on account of their folly
and determination to maintain party
in place of principle. Religion has not
escaped the same influence.

orders to go to sea to-day. She received
orders more than a week before to sail
on that date and proceed to Port-au-
Prince, Hayti, to protect American in

mand0d on account of the reported ar
rival of the Boston at Kingston, the
latter vessel being ordered by cable to
proceed to Hsyti, but the Boston had
sailed before the dispatch reached
Kingston.

LITERATURE.
Babyhood.

Time was when baby's mother had it
all her own way in the management of
the nursery; the father is now equally
aroused and bent on having his say.
He has it in the November number of
BabyhoOd, which devotes considerable
space to the Fathers Parliament" a
department that, it is safe to say, is not
inferior in interest to any other in this
indispensable mothers magazine The
Nursery Problems" in the current
issue are also particularly valuable. The
medical editor, DIR. l.. NJ. Yale, Lecturer
on the Diseases of Children at Bellevue
Hospital, answers, in his usual careful
way, queries concerning symptoms of
rockets, on stimulating the growth of
hair, On average weight and height, on
the withholding of necessary knowl-
edge from girls, on the proper amount
of food, etc., etc. 1.-The Prevention of
Nervousness in Children DR.. W. l..
Carr treats of q subject the importance
of which it Is difficult to over estimate.
There are also "a Physicians Hints to
Observing Mothers" by DR.. ID. L.
Wood, editorial comments on the value
of asses and goats milk on precocious
children, etc. The mothers themselves
discuss in an entertaining way the
trou blesome children of our neighbors,
cure for Misunderstanding, the art of
keeping children still in bed, the way of
conquering an obstinate baby, and
many other topics.

Atlantic Monthly.

There is uncommon fascination in the
brilliant novel entitled "Passe Rose"
by Arthur Sherburne Hardy, fresh in
stalment of which appears in the
Atlantic Monthly for November. This
story furnishes abundant proof that
Rardy's remarkable power as writer
of fiction was not exhausted in his
early works. "Passe Rose" is as weird
and strange story as one could name,
vet it is as readable as 1.-The House of
the Seven Gables" described by HaW-
thorne himself as "a legend, prolong-
ing itself from an epoch now gray in
the distance, down into our own broad
daylight" "a November Chronicle, i"
| by Bradford TORY, does not deal with
the Presidential contest, but describes
in a charming way the possibilities of
an outdoor excursion at this season Of
the year. Ellen Terry johnson con-
tributes an article on 1.-The After-Sap-
pers of the King" illustrating the
difficult task of the ladies who sought
to amuse such an unamusable monarch
as Louis XIV. Much of the genuine
value of the Atlantic lies in the terse,
clean cut and vigorous articles on
American history by John Fiske, the
latest of which Is entitled The Eve of
Independence Mr.. Fiske's historical
articles are worthy of the highest
praise. Lille B. Chace Wyman con-

The Forum,

The Forum for November contains q
broad review of Old-World politics,
European and Asiatic, by Professor
Arminius Vambery, the famous Hun
garian author, who writes on "Is the
Power of England Declining?" An
other foreign political study in this
number is Canada and the United
States" by Professor Goodwin Smith,
who believes in ultimate annexation.
He discusses the subject from many
points of view. and pays his compli-
ments to the politicians of both coun
tries. Following the discussions in the
October Forum by Professor Taussig, of
Harvard, of How the Tariff Affects
Wages" in the November number,
Representative W; G. P. Breckinridge
shows, from a Democratic point of
view, How Tariff Affects Industry"
He points out number of industries
and shows how the passage of the Mills
bill would add to our industrial activ-
ity. Mr.. Edward AtkiEson's article
this month is on "The Struggle for Sub
sistence." He shows, among other
things, how greatly the hours of labor
have been lessened by the present gen
Grafton of working men. Charles Dud-
ley Warner points out the criminal
methods that are prevalent of dealing
with criminals, and contends that the
proper way is to sentence them to
prison till they are reformed, whether
it be one year or life time. Besides
Mr.. Atkinson's and Mr.. Warmers
articles, social subjects are treated in
AFTER Us-What2" by the Rev. DR..
Kendrick, who insists on the value of
religious retrogression; and in 1.-The
Last Resort of the Landless," by Mr..
II. J. Desmond, of Chicago, who sees
danger to our institutions in the lessen
ing of the number of landholders.
Andrew Lang, the British critic, writes
severely of the method of studying
poetry followed by the Browning
Societies" and indicates wherein
Browning is great poet. A novel and
interesting scientific view of the rela-
tons of the sexes is presented by Prof.
Lester F. Ward; and the Superintend-
ent of the Nicaragua Canal points out
the inevitable changes in the direction
of the worlds commerce that will fol-
low the completion of this enterprise.
