IT LOOKS as though the newspaper
people might come in for n show at the
loayes and fishes under the present ad-
ministration. Rhet Clarkson of the
Des Moines (Ial Register is slated for
the Office of first assistant postmaster
general with a promise OF promotion in
the event that Wanamaker succeeds
Cameron as United States senator two
years hence. Whitelaw Reid of the New
York Tribune, John @. New Of the
Indianapolis Journal and Murat Halstead
of the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette are
booked for foreign missions and it is
possible that the Rev. Col. Shepherd Of
the MdiIdnd Ecpress may get something.
Should this program be carried out and a
few lesser officers given to the smaller
journalistic fry Republican editors can
have no reasonable ground of complaint.

Doubt Brixhteuinx Into Hone.

And hope into certainty, is the pleasing
transition through which the mind of the
nervous, dyspeptic invalid passes who
tries a urse Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bltters, which is alike incompatible and
inimitable. Increased vitality, a gain in
weight, tranquility Of the nerves. sound
appetite and sleep are among the bless
ings which it is within the bene6cent
power Of this medicine to confer and it
is not surprising that after acquiring this
new dowry OF health the grateful sick
should sometimes utter their praise of the
bitter in terms bordering on extravaganza.
Out of the f~ullness of the heart the
mouth speaketh,' and the proprietors of
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters have some
times been Obliged to suppress these
eulogiums lest they should be accused
of blowing their own trumpet too loud
iy. For constipation, b~illousuess, kidney
complaint and incipient rheumatism the
bitters is also a deservedly popular
remedy.

THE descriptions Of the Cheyenne ave
published in the morning papers yester-
day were town talk. 1t is wonderful how
comparatively few people knew of the ex-
istence of this great natural curiosity.
which is in such easy access of the city.
The main complaint heretofore has been
that there are 50 few really attractive re-
sorts within ready reach of town. Some en-
terprising person might with little ex-
pense make the cave easily accessible to
all visitors and extend the explorations
until all the wonderful chambers are COM
pletely opened up. As a commercial
speculation quite a good thing might be
made out of it. A very attractive resort
would certainly be afforded to residents Of
the city and picnickipg parties to the cave
would become one of the summer fads.
The matter is worthy of attention.

ACCORDING To the Washington corre-
spondent of the Chicago Times there is
another row. 1t is between President
Harrison and Secretary OF the Irserior
Noble The president asked that Dudley
be made first assistant secretary of the in
torior. To this Secretary Noble objected
in the most emphatic name When
the president evinced a disposition to
push this Secretary Noble said that rather
than have Dudley forced upon him he
would resign. This called a halt Gen.
Noble is a good deal OF a Tartar himself.

TuE Saratoga Lure drinks thal the stat:

THE Saratoga Lyre thinks that the stat
utes in regard to the period Of time dur
ing which sheep inspectors shall perform
the duties OF their Office should be
changed. As the law now reads the
period of inspection is fixed from the 10th
OF August to the 10th of December, when
from the 10th of July to the LIST OF No
vember would be much more suitable.
The 10th Of July would be directly after
shearing time; the herds would all be at
their home ranches where they could be
easily seen, and the fact that the wool
had just been removed would be of the
utmost assistance and importance in an
efficient and satisfactory inspection of the
sheep. In August the sheep have all
been driven to the mountains where they
are difficult to find, and have besides
grown wool more or less obstructive to
purposes of inspection.

EVERY paper IN the territory has lately
had references to the fact that the post
master or editor was daily receiving big
patches of letters OF inquiry from all sec
tons Of the country, 1t is quite evident
that interest in Wyoming is being tardily
developed and that we may look forward
this year to a genuine season of immigra-
ton. No section will extend the settler
a warmer welcome than Wyoming, or
afford him better facilities to Earn a liveli-
hood for himself and family.

THERE is in New York city a company
which furnishes to all sorts of people what
is called a certificate of Identification. -
These certificates are used principally by
travelling men. actors and other people
who 80 from town to town as compare
tive strangers. 1t may be necessary for
them to be identified at the local banks or
express offices in order that they may
procure money sent to them by draft,
money order or wire, and if they are not
known 10 the town their situation is some
what awkward. These certificates Of
Identification help them out. They are
gotten up in the form of small books. On
one page is a GOOD photograph of the
man who owns the book. On another
page is his signature, attested by the
notary public of the company. The
official seal is also affixed. This docu-
ment is usually accepted as sufficient iden-
tificaticn throughout the country, and the
acton and travelling men think it a good
thing to have concealed about their per
sons in case they have to draw money.
If they die suddenly people will know who
they are too.

Turning over the Christmas WIDE AWAKE,

is both romantic and realistic. W. o. Stod-

and "facuty' and success. The opening chap
tiers of "wednesday the Tenth" by Grant Allen,
relate some remarkable adventures of two
Scotch boys among the islands of the South Pa

When every face
Good will doth grace, -.
And beautiful Peace. away
From every soul,
In her hood pnd stole,
Drives care, for the livelong day.
Here's to the msfetoe hOary
And the holly with berries red,
On raftcr and beam
That glisten and CLEAN,
As they did in the days that are dead;
Love grows not old,
Nor do hearts grow cold
With the yule brunch above them spread
Here's to the Oh iistmas greeting
Sweet as the music of heaven
To the friendless and lone,
To whom kindness unknown,
Or to whom It's but seldom given;
Let us not forget
Sorrows eyes, tear wet,
Lest our hearts with like grief be riyen.
IIo for the yule log, burning
In the wide old chimney place;
Pile it higher, higher,
The Christmas fire,
Fill the house with warmth anu cueel'
Then gather them in
From the haunts of sin,
To the Christ child, they still are dear
Though the sunshine Of their childhood
They have turned to blacklist night
Staless and cold
Is the dismal world,
And again, some would find the lghI
The dear Christ S care
Let mo lovingly share,
To guide the wanderers Alright
Let the Gloria in EXcelsis,"
With its music, food our souls

May it swell Away,

For Christ chid's known
From zone to zone,
And his love her millions controls
