a Thrilling Piece OF Verse Published In
His Earlier Days.
At different times we have read different
stories upon the subject of the discovery" Of
Bin Nye. The popular tradition Il that The
Denver Tribune was the first paper that
recognized the merits OF the genial humorist
and exploited them. It appears. however,
that Nye contributed to another Colorado
paper before his connection with The Tribune;
this was The Georgetown Miner. Mr.. E 81.
N. Patterson was then editor of that paper,
and he was the first editor, we think, to en-
courage the Wyoming genius At any rate,
Nye contributed to The Georgetown Miner
before his fame reached Denver.
We have one of Mr.. Nye's first contribu-
tons to The Miner, and we give it herewith.
It is Of interest, first, as being one Of the pop
ular humorist's early works; second, as con-
tanning poem by him; third, as affording
an opportunity to such as may be disposed to
compare Nye's early work with his later
work, deriving from such comparison pretty
good evidence that his work has greatly inn
proved in quality:

THERE is one feature at least OF
President Harrison's administration
that everybody regardless OF party dis
tinction, will heartily approve OF and
indorse, and that is the home rule
character of his appointments to fed
eral Offices in the states and territories.
Tue new appointees are taken from
among the body Of the community in
which their services will be rendered.
They are known to the community or
state, and are in sympathy with it.
For that reason they can render amore
effective and satisfactory service than
could be expected of strangers, who
are often regarded somewhat in the
light Of carpet-baggers, or a mild form
of the Roman proconsul. The execu-
tive officers in the territories are chosen
directly from the body of the people in
each. Federal judges, marshals and
attorneys, as well as other officers, are
being appointed in like manner. Such
a method of procedure is highly com
mendable, and is sure to give unquali.
fed satisfaction to everyone but those
who get left in the race for Office.
