A State with hundred thous-

miles of territory has just been

third and youngest sister is a very
robust infant as to the size and
natural resources. Wyoming is in
dimentions 365 miles from east to
west, and 275 from north to south.
It is bigger than all New England
and Louisiana together. 1t is said
that the Wyomingers have a favor

their State is ninety-seven times
bigger than Rhode Island! Poor
little Rhody. She and Delaware

The Colfax chronicle. [volume] (Colfax, Grant Parish, La.) 1877-1981, 1890-07-12

news came to them about the close
of last week that the Senate had
adopted the House bill OF admis-
sion with few trifing amendments,
which viii be surely concurred in,
there was jubilation throughout.
The day was given up to cannon
firing, bell ringing, whistle blowing,
band playing, rocket shooting, real
estate booming, and other outward
and visible manifestations of salts
faction.
There is no doubt of the great
natural wealth of Wyoming. Its
coal fields are said to be fully equal
to those in Pennsylvania, while it
has an oil region 100 by 300 miles
in extent. There are said to
be at least one hundred salt
lakes in two counties. An
other phenomenon is reported
from this wonderful State. The
great herding companies which re-
quired a million acres to supply
grass for one of their herds, have
been broken up and the small
stockman has taken his place, and
come to stay. He has located his
homestead in the valleys along the
water courses, thus combining farm
ing with stock raising.
Wyoming's ideas of human rights
are extremely liberal, will be seen
by this extract from it's constitu-
ton:
In their inherent hight to life,
liberty and the pursuit of Happiness
all members of the human race are
equal. Since equality in the en-
joyment Of natural and civil rights
is made sure only through political
equality the laws of this State af-
fecting political rights and privi-
leges of its citizens shall be with
out distinction of race, color, sex
or any circumstance or condition
whatsoever other than individual
incompetency or unworthiness duly
ascertained by court of competent
jurisdiction.
This appears to include every
thing, though possibly Digger
Indian who should set up any claim
under this article might be told by
a Wyoming cowboy that he did not
belong to the human species. 1t
admittedly includes women, and
this feature brought out consider
able opposition in Congress to adj
mission. Senator Vest Of Mis-
souri, made a very energetic attack
upon it. Whatever their rights
may be, the demands of the Wyo-
ming women are SO far moderate
and reasonable. They have not
as yet accepted any higher Office
than school superintendent. This |
lack of self-assertion on the part of |
the fair sex has softened good |
deal of the opposition of the politi-
clans, who feared they had no |
chance for preferment in State
where women had any voice in the
selection.

Gamers Convention.

The National Association of Canned Food
Packers held their first annual meeting in
Baltimore, on Wednesday. The body con-
sisted Of sixteen delegates, representing the
large packing associations throughout the
country.
Mr.. T. L. Bunting, of Hamburg, N. Y,
read an able paper on monopoly, in which he
said:
"To deliberately and arbitrarily add from 10
to 10 per cent through the increase of the duty
on tin-plate to the cost of canned goods is as
wanton in its inception as 1t will prove restric
tive and ruinous in its application, canned
classes, who use them principally AS the pur-
chasing fund of this class is always meagre and
their every purchase gagged by selfdenia, their
canned food supply will be displaced in large
measure by their old diet of salt pork, potatoes
and bread. There is no subterfuge about such
reasoning. The tariff programme, if carried
out, will restrict consumption about SO per cent
and will weed out 60 per cent. of the packers
In fact, so per cent. of the packers now in the
field are bankrupt already on basis of present
liquidation, and nothing but most favorible
market can save them. To wantonly restrict
the markets when the emergency calls for their
extension, to arbitrarily advance the price of
canned products when the consumer is Justly
demanding lower prices, seems to be the pro-
posed consummation ola party policy and the
deliberate boast Of the Fifty first Congress.
He showed that the proposed increase in
duty on tin is gigantic scheme to tax con-
sumers of tin plates $s,OOO,OOO year to en-
able party of capitalists TO experiment with
safety in producing tin plates, allowing them
q margin TO overthrow leading industries.
