Wh0 II the IsoOere

Some weeks ago Mr.. james MeNight
moved from Silver City to this place and
opened here boot and shoe shop. When
be packed his things up 10 Silver City he
found there was not rssm enough in his sar.
atoga to hold all his effects, and therefore
went to the store d caddy 4 Murphy and
procured an empty sugar barrel. into which
he put his blankets. etc. Upon arriving 1t
Dayton and securing q shop Mr.. McNight
emp,ied the barrel and threw it into the
back yard. Some days after this he stasts6
to knock the barrel to pieces for kisdliag
wood. when he found that it ceataiaed .
false bottom. and in this false bolton there
were four dozen boxes Of hne pea.knives.
Midnight was nonplussed At his discovery.

cutlery to Silver City and gave it up to Cud.

as any one to learn what had been in the bot.
tom d the sugar barrel. They paid McNight
for the knives, and when they are all sold it
will make the most profitable barrel Of sugar
that has gone out Of the store for some time.
Cuddy had all the other barrels in the store
overhauled to see II he could act diseever
some more struggled goods, bat they were
not to be found. This Is something new in
the smuggling line, and it is strange that .

THE CONVENTION.

The constitutional convention convenes
in this city one week from tomorrow.
The only candidate openly in the field for
presiding officer, so far as we have heard,
is President Hoyt of the university.
Among other gentlemen mentioned are
Judge NJ. e. Brown OF Laramie, Il. S. n.
Morgan and John A. RIner Of this
city. The Republicans have a big major
ity in the convention and, therefore. the
disposition of the craftsmanship is entire
" in their hands. The question of a pre-
siding officer is important only in so far as
it involves the appointment of commit
tees. Nearly all the work of the conven-
ton will be performed in committees
where the various subjects which come up
will be digested before their presentation
to the convention. The personnel of sew
eral committees is, therefore, quite i'm
portant in the eyes of many members
Of the convention.
1t is said that ex Governor Hoyt has
the support OF men high up in the
ranks of the Republican party. He
seems to understand the theory of build
ing constitutions about as well as the next
man and has not only written elaborate
dispositions on the subject but has deliv-
cred several lectures. Some little oppo-
sition is already springing up to Mr..
Hoyt's candidacy though it is yet too
early To forecast its extent.

THE Sun very sensibly leaves the labor
OF reconcilng its two opposing positions
on local and national protection to some
unknown individual who signs his name
as G. G. Bennett. What Mr.. Bennett
has to say on the subject is of course so
puerile as to be unworthy of sober con
sideration. The Suns position that
there should certainly be free trade in
the necessaries OF life and our people
should have the privilege of buying
where they choose and as cheaply as they
ian" fits the local situation like
a glove. But we haven't yet been able
to figure out how this argument. 80 force.
full when it is brought directly home to
the people of Cheyenne loses any OF its
weight when exactly the same
principles are involved with the
only distinction hat in one case
the issue is national and involves millions
of people while in the other it is local and
involves only hundreds.

PUBLISHING

SOME time ago the Lander Mountaineer
suggested that some steps should be taken
to secure full reports OF the constitutional
convention proceedings SO that they might
be preserved as part of the political his
tory of the territory. There can be no
question OF the value of such reports, even
though the physical and political needs of
the territory present few features which
will force the convention from the beaten
track followed by other constitution
makers. To give verbatim reports of the
proceedings and atterward print the same
would involve an outlay of from IS, 1000 to
$l0.0 0O. depending a great deal on the
length of the session.
There is no way in which this amount
of money can be legitimatclv raised but
there Is already a movement on foot to
raise a smaller amount by subscription and
trust to the legislature for reimbursement.
In this way arrangements can be made
for the publication of very satisfactory re-
ports which would give pretty fully the
proceedings day by day and thus keep
the public well informed of what was CO.
ing on.
The matter has been considered by
members-elect of the convention IN this
city and thev will put their ideas into exc
cution this week. 1t is now expected
that the work can be accomplished in
about twenty days.

THE time for holding the territorial
fair is rapidly drawing nigh. AS yet we
have failed TO notice any very decided
movement among the local merchants
looking towards exhibits of their wares.
Many circumstances will combine to make
the coming fair the grandest of its kind
ever held In Wyoming. The merchants
therefore owe it to themselves and to the
city to make as elaborate displays as the
circumstances will warrant. Visitors to
the town will Judge of the enterprise OF
the merchants and therefore of the people
of the town by the local exhibitions which
will be made at the fair grounds. The
expense OF a really fine exhibition at the
fair will re trifing; the individual and
municipal advertisement will be great.
