: COLONEL w. II. KENT, editor of the
Laramie Boomerang, accompanied by T..
l.. Mckee, business manager Of the same
paper. paid the capital city a flying visit
yesterday. Colonel Kent has now been
associated with the Boomerang for four
years. Gifted with a rich and luxuriant
imagination, we know of no man in the
west who can throw a roster glamour
about an insignificant local event. His
energy and industry are something phen-
omenal. Most people in the business
consider newspaper writing tolerably hard
work. To Kent it is simply a recreation.
He reels off a stack of manuscript a foot
thick while another fellow would be still
cogitating over what to write. The Lara.
mic board of trade has done a good deal
for the city over the hill, but the most
energetic member of it has done little in
comparison with Kent. As a boomer he
is a bowling success, and we are glad to
know that in this instance the prophet is
not without honor in his own country.

Notes From HartyilIe.

Correspondence OF THE LEADER.
HARTvILLE, Wyo., April IA camp
at Hartville is now an assured fact. Many
men are here, and business houses of all
kinds are being established by live men.
Very good order is maintained, although
we are not entirely free from a disorderly
element, as an occurrence of yesterday
gave proof. Two men had a dispute over
a town lot, aud both men drew their six
shooters, but we're quickly brought to or.
der by the timely appearance of Deputy
Sheriff Vaughn, and to day their dispute
YVES settled by arbitration.
We understand that the smelter will
tart with a full force 10 morrow.

Central Wyoming which will go far to
demonstrate that a grasping railroad cor
poratIon may do much to cripple the
growth and paralyze the industry of the
section through which it passes. The
tactics OF the Northwestern have never
been fully understood by the outside
world, and we take sincere pleasure in
making them known to the public. The
policy of this company does not seem to
be to build up the country through which
it passes, but to fleece the people depend
ent upon it by methods worthy of a pro-
fessional confidence man. Twenty years
& a railroad company actuated by such
a policy would have been bearable, for
the very good reason that the people
could not help themselves. 1t should be
understood, however, that those days are
past. A railroad company to capture the
trade of Wyoming people nowadays must
be endowed with at least a fair amount of

pose to harmonic the provisions Of the

the deficit which would result by laying
more taxes on the poor mans
back. The taxes they propose to
abolish do not carry with them license
TO some people to collect private taxes
from other people. They brig into the
treasury ali that they take out
of the pockets Of the people
who use liquors and tobacco. The
taxes they desire to impose to make up
the deficit OF $50 100000 which would
result from the repeal Of the internal
taxes would take from the people not
only $780, coo for the treasury, but at
least $50, coo 900, and probably 800, 600,
COO, more for the exclusive benefit Of
capitalists engaged in favored branches

Free Wool VIII Help Manufacturers
ON he World,

The opponents of ithe Mills tariff re-
form bill center antagonism chiefly on the
provision which puts wool on the free list.
And yet every citizen who believes in en-
coursglpg American manufacturers must
admit that the American manufacture Of
WOODEN goods must languish IS long as
the factories are compelled to psy for the
raw wool 80 much larger prices than
foreign wool manufacturers pay. The
policy Of this country should be
to put raw materials on the
free list, so that our manu-
facturers will be able to compete with
those of Europe, having no disadvantage
except that OF paying higher w.ges, which
should be onset by protective tariff
We have done this in the case Of raw
cotton, which is free, while cotton goods
are protected. We have done it in the
case Of raw silk, which is free, while
silk goods are protected. Why should
we not do 1t In csse Of wool while con-
tiuuing to protect wooden goods? We
want wooden manufactures far more than
we want sheep ranches.

To the Editor Of the Gazette.
Noticing q letter in your papsr Of to-
day signed by W. V. Johnson of Colo
RADIO, Tex, making suggestion that an
other immigration convention be called
and steps taken to advertise TeIss
abroad, would say that the people OF the
"Abilene country" rise to second the
and all that THE GAZETTE says on this
subject Is more than true.
We believe the right thing to do Is to
call convention at once to meet in Fort
Worth, and invite the people Of all that
country on and tributary to the lines OF
the Texas and Pacific and Fort Worth and
Denver Railways and in the section OF
country between these two roads, includ-
ing all of the great Panhandlelco untTy,
the Pecos and Rio Grande valleys and the
plsins. q

for Texas" in the field, but will also open
similar offices at Kansas City and Omaha
OF Cincinnati and Chicago.
In doing tn we need not withdrAR
our support from the state immigla,i&
committee unless 1t is deemed advisable
as the writer believes that after year

want few John Howsrds In the field,
located outside Of the stale, at points
where capital sud immigrants are, to

twenty days, and let US go to work on q

ANYTHING TO RAID THE TREAS

| URY.
| Oae of the widest raids shat has ever
been proposed on the federal treasury Is
what is known as the Paddock posto flee
bill, measure that is now pending in
the Unite States Senate, having been in
troduced and referred to the appropriate
C immittee. If this bill OF Mr.. Psddock's
were to become law it would wipe cut
the surplus fund in the treasury very
speedily and instead of legislation to re-
duce taxes 80 thst treasury surplus
| may be avoided the problem would be
how to increase the revenues. So ex
trsvagantly wild is the measure that one
wonders If MIR. Paddock introduced it
With serious intent, hoping or believing
il would pass. The chief feature Of the
bill is its provision for the erection OF
public buildings, or, to be more explicit,
posto offices. 1t provides that all towns
that have had for the past three years en-
annual receipt of $1,000 or more from the
postoffices in such towns shall be
entitled to q postCf1l;e building,
to be erected by the government.
In response to an inquiry asking for in
formation, the PostmssterG. has
submitted to the Senate list Of all the
towns in the country that would be en-
titled to postofflce buildings under the
Paddock bill. The number is over one
thousand six hundred, nearly one thou
sand seven hundred. Imagine, for mo
ment, how sn appropriation for such a
purpose would absorb the CASH balance.
Uncle Sam does not erect small, cheap
buildings for public purposes. All his
structures are Of the best material, well
built and constructed with view to the
growing needs of the future rather than
to-day. A pubic building put up in a
town of 10000 population, for example,
is planned and constructed to fill the bill
when thst town has grown to be place
Of $4,000 or even 10000 Inhabitants.
Nearly all American towns, especially in
the west and south, grow steadily and rap
idly, and the government does not spend
money on structure that will not meet
all the demands made upon its capacity
for several years to come. Very few OF
the federal buildings that are erected
cost less than 500, 900, and the majority
cost 8 much larger figure than the above.
At moderate estimate the government
would have to spend 100000, first
Whsck, to carry out the provisions Of the
Paddock bill, and once put in operation
there would be no let up. Every year
fresh brood, at least fifty to 100 of the
$4,000 year towns would sprilg up to be
provided for. There is this consolation,
that such bill cannot pass Congress.
The people are in favor Of ell public i'm
provements that are needed, but q meas
ure like this, that has no higher utility
.han to spend the public money simply
that taxation may not be reduced, Is
criminslly absurd. 1t is very doubtful il
1t can get through the Republican Senate,
but even II 1t were to do SO the
Democratic House would give
1t speedy death. Such schemes
contemplate simply and purely srrsnt
robbing Of the people and 1t is Gods
blessing that there is Democratic Presi-
dent and House of Representatives TO
sQuelch them.

THE INDIANA DEMOCRACY.

Ex-senator McDonald's recent letter is
not pleasant reading for Democrats In
other states who are making ready with
cheerful hearts for the grand contest this
fall and looking forward to Democratic
victory. 1t shows that there is lack Of
harmony in the Democratic party in Indi-
ana that bodies anything but fsvorsble
result in that rather doubtful state. The
Democratic national ticket was victorious
in Indiana in 1884 and there Is no good
reason Why 1t should not be victorious
there this year. II gsllsnt old Tom Hen
bricks were alive Indiana, after four years
Of Cleveland and Democratic rule,
would not be doubtful. But Sen
ator McDonald's bitter uttersnces inspire
apprehension that when November comes
it will fud divided, pickering, wrang-
ling, jealous Democracy in Indiana in
stead Of the strong, confident party Hen
bricks left there. The whole trouble
seems to grow out of the rivalry between
ex -Senator Mcdonald and Governor
Gray, two very able men and sound DEM
ocrass, but both very ambitious and high
strung, and one, at least, rather jealous
OF the growing prestige ct the other.
Both are popular men and each has his
adherents, who partske Of the rivalry Of
the leaders, and thus II Is that Demo-
cratic affairs in Indiana are in anything
but healthy and promising shape. Our
friends up there ought to know that the

sweat through the summers ss best trey

terror OF the continent is subject to ex-
traordipary extremes OF heat snd cold.
Two thousand miles north Of our
Galf coast the summers are hotter

while u g winters are infested with Arctic

wealth enables them TO do so; but those
less fortunate would DO well to curtail
the expense ard bet er their condition by
rmigrating 10 the Gulf states where the
winters are warm and genial, and the
summers bret ~ and delightful.
