ONE of the important duties of the legis-

They are an outrage upon the miners and
a curse to the state, and it ought to be
possible to extinguish them by legislation.

YESTERDAY in the senate Mr.. THOMPSON
OF Jasper county offered an amendment to
the election bill, providing that the in
spector of election in every precinct and
the precinct chairmen should meet sixty
days before the election and prepare list
of the legal voters in the precinct, and
that such lists should be revised on the
twenty-ninth day before the election, and
that no person whose name did not ap-
pear on such list should be permitted to
vote. Such ascheme, whatever the intent
of its proponent, would certainly open
wide the doors for corruption and fraud,
and would make it possible, in many in
stances, by corrupt methods, to disfran-
chise legal voters. not in "blocks OF five"
but in blocks OF fifty The democrats very
properly voted down this amendment
after its improper and dangerous character
had been pointed out by Senator BARRETT.
The republicans voted solidly for it, which
is striking commentary upon their pro-
fessed anxiety for pure elections.

THE Washington Post concludes a tren-
chant and vigorous editorial on the Moore
defalcation in these words:
MOORE is now Acknowledgment, dis,
honored-but safe from the retribution that he
so richly deserves. He has gone to that bourne
OF refuge from which the traveller never re-
turns. The law opposed no barrier to his exit.
Justice was not invoked to stay his departing
footsteps. The moral sense of the country is
shocked, The interests, not only of the Con-
necticut Mutual, but of all fiduciary insttu-
tons are placed more or less in jeopardy by
the laxity that seems to have characterized the
history OF this great defalcation from first to
last The criminality of the act is in itself as
nothing compared to the greater wrong that is
involved in the circumstances of its oc-
currence and the extraordinary opportunities
that were offered for an evasion of its penal
consequences.

THE republicans in the senate Saturday
took advantage of the absence of several
democratic senators to strike out OF the
election bill the provision for the destruc-
ton of the ballots at the conclusion of the
canvass. This is one OF the wisest and
most salutary provisions in the bill.
1t closes the door against a certain
class OF election frauds from which the peo-
pie have suffered greatly-the post-elec-
ton tampering with ballots. The New
York law-which is admitted to be the
most perfect statute in this country so far as
relates to the canvass and certifcation OF
the vote-contains this provision, and it
has operated to the satisfaction of all hon.
est men of every party in that state. When
the count has been completed and the
tally-sheets filed out, there can be no le-
gitimate object in preserving the ballots,
excepting such as are protested, and the
senate bill enjoins preservation OF these.
The action of the republicans in striking
out this clause of the bill is another evil
dence of the insincerity Of their PROBES
sed zeal for election reform. The dem
ocrats ought to restore this provision be-
fore sending the bill to engross ment.

Our esteemed contemporary, the Ply
mouth Democrat, processes to believe that
cheap coal would not only be disastrous
to the miners but to The consumers as rel.
We are good deal surprised to find such
nonsense in so excellent a democratic
journal as our Plymouth contemporary.
Cheap coal would be great boon to the
country. It would stimulate manufacture
ing of all kinds enormously, and would not
injure the miners, whose wages are now
kept at the subsistence point by the great
coal companies. Coal is prime necessity
OF life and the most important of all raw
materials. The tax upon it is utterly in
defensible, and the democratic party ought
to be unit in demanding its repeal.

Utah Territory.

WASHINGTON, Nov. Arthur l..
Thomas, governor of Utah Territory, in
his annual report estimates the popula-
ton of the territory at go, 900, an in
crease of nearly sc, 1000 since 1880. Dur.
ing the last nine years the foreign born
population, numbering in 1880 about So
ES4l, has been increased by Mormon i'm
migration 1904. The aggregate as
sessed valuation of property of incorpor-
ated cities and towns for 1889 is $50, $780,
00n, with an Indebtedness of 1896. 600.
Upon the subject of unoccupied public
lands the governor says:
THE question of what the government
should do with the vast tracts which can
be used only for grazing is assuming vital
importance throughout the West. and di-
a cheap food supply. Under present con-
ditions these lands are used by persons
engaged in stock raising. There is no
harmony of interests among them, and
there being no protection afforded by law
10 the use of lands, there is frequent con
flict between Gushing interests"
The governor is of the opinion that if
the government would provide q way by
which persons engaged in stock growing
could acquire title to grazing lands which
can never be used for agricultural pur-
poses it would remove one of the most Sc
rious drawbacks to the growth of the
stock industry and a prompt settlement of
the coutry. The grazing and mountain
lands of Utah, he says. constitute nearly
en-eighths OF the entire area. The
mining industry, the report states,
has been generally prosperous. Several
new important developments have been
made in Park City and other mining
camps. ut is the opinion of Miners
says the governor, that there would be
a great increase in the mineral product
were it not for what they believe to be an
erroneous construction of the law relative
to the admission Of ores By the treasury
department"

THE DEADLY CURRENT.
Another Electric Light Wire
Horror in New York.
A Horse Roasted Alive on the
Streets of the City.
Several Persons Frustrated by
Shocks.
The Deadly Wire.

NEW YoRK. Nov. 4.-The electric
light current this morning roasted horse
to death. threw the driver to the street
and knocked a police sergeant senseless.
The deadly current was carried to its vic.
TINS through a telephone wire. A big
pole carrying numberless wires stands on
Fourth avenue near the corner of Twenty
eighth street. Some time this morning
one of the wires, a telephone line, fell to
the street and formed a loop across the
down track OF the Fourth avenue railroad.
Soon after it fell Thomas Whelan. a
Herald delivery wagor -ver, came along.
The horse stepped Oh The wire and in
stantly came 70 a halt and then fell. The
Jolt to the wagon threw Whelaa to the
street. and when he arose to his feet he
received a shock which threw him pros
trate into the gutter. Regaining his feet
again the driver undertook to raise the
horse, but as soon as he touched the ami
NAL another shock passed through him.
He then comprch ended the cause and lay
still.
Citizens attracted to the scene saw
flashes Of blue fame emitted from the
PROSTATE animal. The flashes came from
all parts of the horses body, and the
smell of burning flesh was p~erceptible
halt a block away. Whelan was assisted
to his feet, but the horse was given r
wide berth.
The police established a guarl sufh-
GENTLY far from the roasting animal to
warn all wayfarers from nearing the fatal
spot. Sergt. Mcdonald came in contact
with the wire and fell to the pavement
senseless. Roundsman Cassidy went to
the rescue and when he caught hold Of
the sergeant's leg. received a shock which
compelled him to release his hold. A
second effort was more successful.

The Fruit OF VIOLENCE.

no case is the folly of violence in
medication more conspicuously shown
by its fruit than in the effect upon the in
testines of excessive purgation. The stom-
ach and bowels are first painfully griped,
then the latter is ~copiously, suddenly and
repeatedly evacuated. This is far beyond
the necessities of the case, most unnatur-
al, excessively facilitating. The organs
are incapacitated from resuming their
function with normal moderation. An
astringent is resorted to which reduces
them to their former condition of inaction.
10 this monstrous and harmful absurdity,
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is the happy
alternative. 1t relaxes gently, naturally,
sufficiently, it diverts bile from the blood
into its proper channel, it insures health
full digestion and complete assimilation.
1t is a complete defense against malaria,
and conquers rheumatism, neuralgia,
nervousness kidney and bladder trouble.

DENVER, Nov. 4.-The locomotive n
gineers to-day considered and adopted the
report of the committee on constitution
and bylaws. The report disposed of
only a few minor motions and resolutions.
A very important amendment to the con-
stitution was hen adopted. Heretofore,
when a fireman was promoted to engineer
he could not Join the Brotherhood of En-
glneers without first resigning from the
Brotherhood Of Firemen. The amend
ment adopted to-day allows a new fireman
to Join the engineers and at the same time
retain his membership with the Firemens'
Brotherhood. After some routine bust
ness, in which complementary resolutions
to citizens of Denver, local engineers and
railroads was adopted, the convention ad-
iourned to meet in Pittsburg one year

FROZEN TO DEATH.
Victims to the Recent Blizzard
in New Mexico.
Three Cowboys Frozen to Death
on the Prairie.
Caught in the Storm While
Driving Cattle.
Frozen to Death.

DENVER, Nov. 4.-One of the results
of the terrible blizzard which swept
over Eastern Colorado and Northern New
Mexico Thursday and Friday of last week,
reached here to-day from Folsom, N. NJ.
On Thursday night Henry Miller, the
range foreman for Col. R. G.. Head, with
several cowboys camped near the Sierra
Grande with 1.8o0 beet cattle which they
were holding for the purpose of loading
on the cars at Folsom the next day for the
eastern markets. About 4 O'Clock that
morning a blizzard from the northwest
struck the herd, driving the cattle toward
the Panhandle, Tex, the cowboys being
unable to hold them, the snow being SO
binding it was impossible to see fifty feet
ahead. Miller called his men together
and they started to follow the herd and
attempted to keep them punched SO far
as possible.
1t Is not known how long the men sue
ceeded in keeping with the maddened
herd, but they finally lost it and the men
became separated.
Friday night one of them wandered into
Heads home ranch half dead with cold
and hunger. He told his story and a res
cuing party was Immediately sent out and
Saturday afternoon the frozen bodies of
Henry Miller, Joe Martin and Charlie
Jolly were found lying on the open prairie
not far from Folsom. The other men
succeeded in finding their way into camp
before overcome with cold. Miller had
been foreman for Col. Head for twelve
years and came here from Louisiana 1t
is not known where Martin and Jolly are
from.

Rerated Pension CIerk..

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-There is a
good deal of discussion going on in regard
to the disposition of the cases of the re-
rated employees of the pension Office. Sec
retaTy Mobiles letter to Capt. Smith is
quoted in support of the view that go far
as the secretary of the interior has his
way all the rerated employees will have to
get out, bat it is said that an intimation
has been received from the White House
that wholesale punishment of this kind Is
not regarded with favor.
This is a mere rumor, but it is current
to-day, and some go so far as to say that
the whole affair will be allowed to simmer
down, and nothing will be done in the re-
rating cases except where they are found
to be plain violations OF the law.

Missouri Pacific Affairs.

NEW YORK. Nov. 4.-The Tmes says:
Wall street has been much worried lately
over the mystery in the affairs Of the MIS-
souri, Pacific. The price of the company's
stock fell three points in the last two
days of the weeks business from causes
that apparently nobody but an insider
could understand. One theory current to
explain this drop has been the report that
Jay Gould has intimated that dividends
upon the stock were about to be sus.
pended. This has sounded unreasonable
for the reason that the quarterly divi-
lend has just been paid and the next one
is not due for nearly two months. There
seems much more basis for the belief that
a very substantial issue of bonds is to be
made 1t has leaked out that the Gould,
George Gould and Russell Sage have
claims against the Missouri Pacific
company for moneys advanced. etc ag-
gregating 81. $4,000. Other claims not
openly held in the names Of Gould and
Sage are said to be Of size enough to
make a total of 3d. 600. 600, which is the
amount of bonds now said to be ready to
be issued.

The Straight of Ii.

The story that Henry Altman imported
labor to improve the city park is simply
absurd, and the truth is not in it. Men
who have resided in Cheyenne for years
are employed there now. The foundation
for this falsehood is in the fact hat mem
bers of the council advised Mr.. Altman to
secure an expert gardener from the East,
but he secured Mr.. Peterson in this city.
The latter, by the way, was engaged on
the recommendation of ladies of the Re-
lief Society, he being at that time in dis
tressed circumstances. His services have
been more than satisfactory. Mr.. Altman
exhibited excellent Judgment when he re-
fused to make this a political office.

VALUABLE STATISTICS.
The Amount of Water Required for
Oats and Potatoes.

Engineer Mead is preparing a summary
of the automatic observations of the Wyo-
ming kilometer on the land of the Wyo-
ming Development company during the
past season. The instrument. placed in
an lrrigating ditch, measures the amount
OF water passing.
1t is learned that one cubic foot of water
per second will irrigate SAT- acres. This
amount of water will suffice for but 81
acres in Colorado.
In Wyoming a cubic foot OF water per
second will insure the growth of 1854
acres of potatoes.
During last season the water placed on
oats, including 10 inches of rain. was Al
inches. This seems a great amount, but
is actually less than is used in Colorado.
