To the Editor OF The Leader.
CHEYENNE, Sept. 4.-While there is
such a scramble for the office of clerk of
the district court which will soon be at
the disposal of Mr.. VanDevanter section
1871 of the United States revised statutes
should not be overlooked. 1t reads as
follows:
Each Judge of the supreme court OF
ther respective territories shall designate
and appoint one person as clerk of the
district over which he presides when one
Is not already appointed, etc.
When Judge VanDevanter assumes
the judicial toga he will find a clerk who
has already been appointed by Judge Ma
ginnis. If the clerk wants to bold the
place it will probably rut an end to any
contest which may nov be In progress

Corn well put in the ground and well
titled will mature n crop ON less moist
ure han any other crop.
The effect of fertilizers on the soil
does not depend entirely upon the
o of available plant food provided,
but to the chemical action upon sub
stances already existing in the soil.
Barnyard manure has its disadvan-
tages, it always contains the seeds Of
weeds, which often give much trouble.
We do all we can to extirpate them and
then SOW a fresh crop OF weeds when
ever we apply barnyard MANURE
1t is, says an exchange, by nc means a
settled question whether red clover is
not a better subsoiler than any pillow that
was ever invented. Its long roots pene-
trate the soil much deeper, and dying,
as they do, the second year, they not
only open up the soil more effectually to
the influence of the sun and air, but by
their decay serve to enrich 1t as well.
When a tree is to be tr~ansplanted,
never leave more branches than are
wanted for mains, four or five at most;
never grow a mass of unnecessary limbs
to be crowding, which must be cut out
afterward, much to the injury Of the
tree; remove them from the head at

JVO. p CARROLL. Edito
He rs GETTING THERE.

We have been surprised and at the
same time delighted with the spirit of
meek Christian humility which has lately
been displayed by the editor of our es-
teemcd contemporary. In the course Of
our own experience with HIM we had
never observed that either humility or
torbearance were marked personal char
acteristics of his, but after reading yester.
days Sun we are disposed to do him
complete, il somewhat tardy, Justice.
The good book says in effect thai If your
enemy do you wrong heap Goals OF fire
upor his head by returning good for evil.
On Tuesday in the constitutional convcn-
ton Col DOwuey, Of Laramie City, took
NJ tie cugdel for his county 10 the belief
that it had been traduced by two editorial
paragraphs which had appeared that
morning in the Sun. In the course of his
remarks he excoriated the editor of the
Sun personally aud by name. Everybody
naturally expected that the Sun would get
back at the gallant colonel with nothing
less than seven columns of ~vitriolic anath-
ema. What was the public surprise
10 find in yesterday mornings issue
Col. Downey's attack sugar coated aud
swallowed, and the Albany delegation, so
bitterly attacked the day before, petted
aud coddled to a most remarkable degree.
The editor ofthe Sun is laying a solid
foundation for the reputation of being a
meek Christian martyr, and we sincerely
congratulate him Upon the advance which
he has made in acquiring the spirit of hu-
milily and long suffering.

Ncw.rnrers tho Popular REELECTION.

Newspapers, after all, only reflect the
mind of the average man, who likes to
read about things easily understood, and
which demand no intellectual exertion
on his part. Culture is equally absent
from all other forms of popular litera-
ture. Look at the books which are the
most read. Called Back" and "Mr.
Potter of Texas" are examples taken at
random. To such stuff it is absurd to
apply the name of literature. Then,
again, IL We are a cultured people, it is a
remarkable fact to how small a class
books that are really works of art and
masterpieces Of style appeal. When
Shelley wrote his ''Epipsychidion" there
were in England at the time only about
twelve men to whom he deemed it
worth while sending that famous poem.
If another Shelley were to burst on the
public rs a poet tomorrow, he would be
under a similar difficulty. 1t is fully
time that we recognized the truth.
Culture is not by any means universal.
What is widespread and assumes its
name is the modern spirit of superfici-
atty. We read reviews of books in The
Spectator, and not the books themselves.
We get our opinions second hand from
where will to ave ourselves the trouble
of thinking. We prefer the
place and trivial in literature and art to
what Is great and noble. We have no
love for philosophy, although it is fash
ionable to pretend we have. In fact, the
whole system of our national education
must be reversed and the attitude of the
public mind altered before we can truly
describe ourselves as a cultured people.
