The Call editor is to be pitied. A
nomination for some sort of an office,
even if it were only constable, might
ease his mental agony. As it is, he
is 50 disturbed by the fend of jeal>
ousy that he seems unable to make a
truthful or fair statement about the
editor of this paper. He is sure we
are hypOcritical on woman suffrage
when any man with common sense
knows that he grossly misstates the
case. Woman suffrage was enacted
few years ago, and was subsequent
~ declared unconstitutional, on the
ground that the title of the bill was
defective. At that time both political
parties were committed to the sup.
port OF the law. The Legislature that
had been elected was thoroughly COM
mitted TO the law; and when an effort
was made to defeat its re>enactment
the Angus cCntended earnestly that
anything short re-enacting the law
would be bad faith toward the peo-
pie. The law was re enacted but has
since been declared unconstitutional
by the supreme court of the Terrific
ry, on the ground that the legislature
had no right to enact such a law.
For tho Legislature to again enact
woman suffrage would be to pass a
law which it has reason to expect
would be again invalidated 10y legal
decision, complicating all kinds of
business and tending to expensive
litigation. The folly of re enacting
the law under the circumstances must
be apparent to everybody, and if the
editor of this paper were in favor of
it he would be denounced by the Gail
as an unreasonable crank. Woman
suffrage is not an issue in the cam
paign this fall. Neither party has
taken a stand upon it, either for or
against it Neither party will be un-
der any sort of obligations upon the
question. However, woman suffrage
Is still an unsettled question in the
Territory. Whatever limit there
may be to our powers under terri-
torial government there is little
question but that we may legally
adopt woman suffrage, if majority
should SO decide, when we get a state
government Whom that time comes
lei the question be decided, once and
fer all, and that by vote of the poo
pie. For the present it has no prop-
er place in politics. The editor Of
this paper, having been nominated

A MASSACRE FEARED.

Austin, Texas, Sept, 25.-It is be-
iievei there will be general massa-
ere OF Texas citizens at Rio Grapde
City unless U. s troops from Fort
Ringgold come to the rescue. The
event is likely to lead into an inter
natiohai contiIctisn. Last night
Gov. Ross said the situation was ex

vices for several hours gives rise to
the worst fears.
Rio Grando City is eighty miles
from the neare t railI Dad station and
IS extremely difficult to reach Gov.
Ross has ordered the entire rang ser
force of Texas to proceed with all
haste to the scene. The Mexicans
number 10 to l of the white citizens
Of that section, and there is no tell
ing to what excesses they will re-
sort, especially as they have no diff
ficulty in escaping into Mexico. The
governor also telegraphed to the
sheriffs of all the counties on the Dor
der, or contiguous to it, to proceed
by forced marches to the troubled
district, and take armed losses with
them. He likewise telegraphed the
San Antonia Rifles, Belknap Rifles

ing warm congratulations upon his
Legislative nomination, and pledging

generous expressions. Though nom
mated unanimously, he is we'll aware
that his position US public citizen,
aggressive and positive in convic-
lions, and employed in a profession
that necCs Cssarily creates antagonisms,
renders him less popular than a pri-
vate ci;;zon would be with the same
convictions. Legislative candidacy
in such large district involves per-
sonal and financial sacrifice, particu-
larry to one whose time and talents
are so fully occupied in the exacting
duties connected with . daily and
weekly newspaper and job printing
establishment. Probably this fact,
however, stimulates personal friends
to more active exortion. The public
can be safely trusted to settle the
issues as to who shall represent them
at Olympia-and to that public the

tident expectation that it will choose

WANT A DAILY MAIL.
Ii People out at south Bend Very
Anxious.

The people out at South Bend, which
is about ffty-fve miles from this city, are
anxious for a daily mail. There is quite
a large population gathering in and around
that place and more are coming every day
as it is a fine agricultural country and
there is also coal in that vicinity as well as
immense beds of peat. Within the past
twelve months the amount of mail matter
which has gone over the tri-weekly route
from this city to that point has more than
doubled and is still on the increase.
A daily mail to that point would also
furnish the same facilities to Lower Horse
creek and also to the new post office that
has now been established at the ranch of
the Post-P ercheron company. A petition
is to be circulated at once asking for this
daily mail route, and it is quite probably
hat the wishes of the people in this re.
spect will be granted before many weeks.

tributes. Mr.. Wallick is a robust and
vigorous hero who always comes to the
front at the most critical moment for the
protection of virtue and female innocence.

flames before any serious injury had been

In various parts of Cheyenne it may
have been noticed OF late that the leaves
on the trees are turning black and falling
off. This is all due to the destructive
work of an insect that is perhaps similar
in some respects to the chinch bug, which
is such a pest in the wheat fields of the
East. Some of our citizens are taking
measures to protect their trees and in sew
eral instances they have resorted to paris
green which can easily be applied in the
case of small trees, but would scarcely
serve the required purpose in trees OF a
larger growth.

LOTS or
Progress of Work on the Water sys-
ten.

The work of putting in the new water
system, which is destined to bring i'm
mense quantities of water to the city, is
n of greater magnitude than people
generally suppose. 1t has already been
stated that NJ. p. Keefe has the contract
for putting in the 500 feet of 80 inch
pipe which is to carry the water to the
point where smaller pipe can be used and
the work is being pushed with great vigor.
One of the important items connected
with this part of the work has been the
running of a tunnel under the bed of
Crow creek. which has already been
nearly completed. The work has pro-
crossed now to such an extent and to the
point where water to the amount of
100000 gallons per day is already find
ing its way into the upper lakes, and this
is of course having a beneficial effect on
the water reservoirs which are now filling
up very fast.
Messrs. Keefe and Miller are devoting
a considerable portion of their time to
this work, and the latter, who has general
supervision ofthe work, has to make daily
trips to the end of the line to see how
matters are progressing.
While the entire work will not be com
pleted for some little time yet, one thing
is quite certain, and that is that the peo-
pie of Cheyenne will wake up some morn
ing before it is time for the snow to fly
again and find hat they have a million
gallons Of water on hand for each days
use if they need that much.
