AND NO WYOMING.


The Republican mentioned a short
time since the movement in Wyoming for
statehood. Four new states were provided
for by congress at its last session, but
these no sooner began to hold their con-
v%entions than Idaho also came to the
front with one,a and since then Wyoming
has held an election for delegates to a
convention to be held in September next,
to form a constitution. Wyoming's APP
plication for statehood was before the
last congress, and was reported lavoIably
upon in both houses, but the law failed
to pass.
From al official pamphlet published by
the territory we gather some important
facts. The territory contains 9S, 900 square
miles, and is. therefore, about equal in
area to New York, Ohio, New Jersey and
Delaware combined. Major Powell of the
United States geological survey estimates
that 10, 900, 600 to 10, O0o, 600 acres of the
arid lands of the territory may be re-
claimed 10y irrigation. and 1000, 900 acres
are susceptible to cultivation without arti-
fetal means. There is already much sue
cessIul farming done by irrigation. 1t is
perhaps one of our richest territories in
minerals. Coal is found in every county
in the territory and the territorial geolo-
gist estimates the coal area at II, 1000, 900
acres. The mines this year will produce
nearly 3.OOO,O 900 tons.
Petroleum is also found over a large OK
tent of the territory. and this section of
the country may undoubtedly be depend
ed upon for the countrY's supply of this
illuminant when the Pennsylvania wells are
exhausted. There are wonderful iron de-
posts measured in extent by mountains.
The soda deposits cover hundreds Of acres
the most extensive discovered on the
continent. Gold, silver and copper mines
are being successfully worked. Marble,
granite and sandstone of excellent quality
are abundant, and salt, sulphur, gypsum,
Lismuth, graphite, asbestos and fire clay
are found in various portions of the terri
tory. 1t is estimated that there are over
$1,000 head of live stock in the terri
tory, valued at over $75, 900, 900. There
arc nearly 900 miles of operated railroad
in the territory. There are 225 excellent
schools maintained, employing nearly 300
teachers, aud a university has been estab-
lished. The population of the territory is
between 100, 900 and 10000, end rapidly

DR.. F. ID. Larke of Rogers City

in Pressure, Isle county, in which so
many persons lost their lives, was choleric
dissentry instead of cholera as first re-
ported. He used Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and DIarrhoea Remedy and says
it succeeded, where all other remedies
failed. Not a single case was lost in
which it was used. This remedy is the
most reliable and most successful medi-
cine known for collie. cholera morbus,

THE SECRET BALLOT.


Mr.. Dresser, editor OF the Rock Springs
Independent, recently returned from a
trip to Canada He carries back with
him from that country some impressions
that are valuable and among them are
the following: There is a feature about
the elections in Canada that might be
copied to advantage on this side OF the
line. There is no such bribery and cor
ruption there at election time as there is
here, and this is because the voting is alb
~solutely secret. There is no way of tell
lug how a mar votes. There is but one
ballot, it is furnished by the government
aud it contains the name of every candi-
date in the field. One ballot is given to
the voter when he comes to the polls, he
puts a cross opposite his choice and de-
posits his ballot. AS the would be briber
has no guarantee hat the voter will vote
for the briber's choice, he doesn't bride,
We would like to See some such system
adopted by our own constitutional con-
yention.'
