1t is noticeable that Hon, Thomas C. Platt
has not asserted that he was anxious that
the fair should be held in New York since
the reading of a letter at a public meeting
in New York a few nights ago which he
wrote to Charles A. Anderson, a colored
school teacher. A portion of the letter was
as follows; THAT contest TAT Albany, in
my judgment, was the preliminary skir-
mish to the great campaign of 1892. \ = =

The recent marriage of Mr.. Yznaga and
Miss Wright, in New York, threatens to
mark an innovation in New York marriage
customs In high life. This couple became
man and wife SO suddenly-that is, so few
people knew anything about the coming
event-that good many heads were made
TO swim. The dress makers, caterers and
florists are getting very anxious lest mar
rlages with little or no preparations should
become the fashion.

One of Chambers Friends.

Ex-Gov. Harrison Reed of Florida is one
of Senator Chandler's friends and he has
felt called upon to back up some of the as
sertions that Chandler has recently made in
the United States Senate. In letter which
was recently published in the Milwaukee
Sentinel, and in which he calls Chandler
1.-THE champion of southern freedom he
pours out the walls of his wrath upon the
people of Florida. Among other things he
says that four of the most prominent
counties of the state, including that
in which the state capital is located, are
under the complete control of revolution
airy organization. He makes a general
charge that the democrats are guilty of
bulldozing, intimidation and fraud in cleo
tions and intimates that the social relations
between the whites and blacks are by no
means the cleanest.
The ex-governor does not, of course, at
tempt to establish any of these charges He
probably knows that any such attempt
would be a ridiculous failure. 1t is very
easy matter to make charges against
whole people, and it can be done with
reasonable amount of certainty that no one
wa 81 w Ono "iOuoAo W ueInahu prooA oL
them, but, as a rule, charges of that kind
are the result of feeling of bitterness, and
have no foundation.
Why is the ex-governor so bitter against
Florida! Is there anything in his political
career in that state which he does not recall
with pleasurel Was he model governor,
and did the people admire and respect him
while he was their chief executives Perhaps
the people are not proud of the fact that
he was ever governor Of their state-that
they regard the period when he and his
party were in power as the darkest in their
history. If that is SO, the reason he is SO
ready to attack Florida and her people is
apparent. His charges under the circum-
| stances are not worth noticing.

Rev. George A. Schweinfurth. He is said

ing that there should be people in this
country SO ignorant as to be led by the

would represent her creditably in the legis-

E. G. Simmons would not be candidate

field has become pretty well dotted with

Mrs. Margaret Lane, of Gainesville, Tex,
would probably give John L. Sullivan a

old, but the other day, when the mayor i'm
posed fine upon her husband, she went to
the city court room and gave that official
"a piece of her mind" He ordered police
man to arrest her, and she knocked him
down. The city attorney came to the relief
of the policeman, and she also knocked
him down. The mayor saw that he must
arrest the woman himself, but when lie at
tempted to do so he shared the fate of the
policeman and the city attorney, and then
the woman drove all three OF them out of
the room, and held the fort until she be-
came tired of holding it. Mr.. Lane has a
powerful defender, and one would imagine
that he is very careful not to offend her.

In the communication sent to the
council Yesterday by the secretary of the
capitol commission there is a painful alb.
sence OF any a~llusion to the rental paid by
the governor for the commodious offices
which he now occupies in the capitol
building. The federal secretary and the
federal surveyor pay rent out of the con-
tingent allowed them by the general gov
eminent and Uncle Sam pays 5000 for
the use.of the two Legislative balls during
the session of the legislature, but the
governor who is paid a salary of 50, 600
by the government, is allowed a con-
tingent Of Sl.OCO from the same source
and 81 200 a year from the territory does

In the neighborhood of Halberstadt,
in W~estphalia, is the village of Stro-
beck, where chess is taught at school
to every young villager. An exami-
nation in the game is held annually in
the upper form of the school, and the
best six players, who, however, have
to be victorious three times running,
are presented with n chess board, and
Toasted fora whole long summers day.
The custom is said TO have originated
several centuries ago, when a r~ecalci-
trant priest from Halberstadt was sent
into exile at Strobeck. Time hanging
somewhat heavily on his hands, he in
structed the peasants in the game of
chess, and ever since then the game
has gone down from generation to
generation. The pride and glory of
the village is an old chess board,
which is kept in their board room by
the elders of the village, and which
the great elector presented to the peas
ants after he had played chess with
them when passing through the vii
lage. The edge of the board represents,
in delicate wood carving, the village
of Strobeck, and the figures are of sill
yer for one, and silver gilt for the
other side. The peasants tell also q
tale of how Frederick the Great once
played chess with their mute fore,
fathers, but there is no tangible sign
that the Alte Fritz has really added to
the fame of the Strobcck chess play,

Ex-Governor Sr. JOHN says that
ben Harrison was paraded before the
church people in 1888 as a strong temper
ance man, but no act, either official or
otherwise, gives us any reason to suspect
that he has any desire to overthrow the
liquor traffic. This is sad, but true.
Benjamin has been indeed detriment to
the temperance cause. Instead of fur.
nishing the country a conspicuous and
shining example of total abstinence, saws
the Chicago Herald, he has frequently
been guilty of a personal indulgence in
the bowl; and instead of water flowing
like wine at the White House, as the
temperance people fully believed would be
the case, champagne flows like water.
Truly every Temperance reformer has a
right to Rrieve.

MAKE THEM SMALL.

THE LEADER has consistently opposed
big appropriations at this session OF the
Legislature no matter for what purpose
they may be intended. Appropriations
made now will cover a period of only one
year, not two as formerly. The twelfth
legislative assembly will meet here next
January. Intervening between this time
and that are only ten months. In the
meantime there is no institution in the
territory which cannot be maintained with
a very modest appropriation.
We are not blind to the fact that our
territorial Institutions have proven big
advertisements to us. They attract the
eve OF the average visitor and impress
him with the belief that a people who
maintain such institutions are public
spirited aud enterprising and have not
only great confidence in the future but
are experiencing prosperity now. All of
this is exceedingly gratifying to the pride
of a citizen of Wyoming but it does not
always compensate when he is forced to
pay exorbitant taxes as he must do
this fall should all of the proposed
appropriations 90 through.
There is not one of the public %institu-
tons which has yet been built or pro.
iected which will not be eventually re-
quired. Some Of them are not required
now. 1t is generally conceded that Wyo.
ming will achieve statehood at the present
session of congress. In the act admitting
us ample provision is made Tor the con
struction and maintenance of all the
public institutions required in a ~populous
state. All Of the donations of the gem
eral government are made on a generous
scale and we hope Wyoming will soon
have occasion to feel the extent of federal
generosity. If tibet errItory could still be
bonded tie objections urged against big
appropriations might not be as valid as
they are now, but when every dollar APP
propriated must be raised by direct taxa
ton this year it is time for the legislators
to think twice before they plunge into
wild extravaganza.
There is no paper in Wyoming that
takes a more honest pride in the public
institutions than does The LEADER. but
whether there Is to be a general scramble
for a slice of the appropriation pie or a
dea! is made to divide it among particu.
lar sections, this paper will say, and say
it loud, For Gods sake give the tax
payers a show and trust to the citizens Of
the future to bear a portion of the
burthens."

A new fiber plant has been discov,
cred on the Isle of Trinidad which
promises to be an improvement on ra-
mic. 1t was found by an agriculturist
named T. j. st. Hill, who has called it
''maholtine, but whose scientific no
menclature is abutilon periplocifo-
lium. The great thing with this plant
is that the ribbons at nearly all times
of the year are easily detached from
the wooden portion by simply stripping
them with the hand, and therefore a
decorticating machine is not required
as for ramie. When it is known how
readily the stems allow themselves to
be deprived of their coating of bark
and fiber it will be seen what an adj
vantage this simple fact gives the new
product over many of the fiber pro
ducing plants. All that is required is
to cut the stems, which are fully ten
feet long, split the bark at the larger
end and strip off the bark from end to
end without stopping, as fortunately
the stems have no side branches. Sam
Piles submitted to London brokers were
favorably reported on and were val
ued at from sly to $50 per tom Chi

A E
Schsme of a Genus TO Reduce LIabil-
tiles OF Railway Wrecks.

An eastern man has recently invented
a safety guard, an appliance attached to
car trucks. whereby in the event of a
spreading track, or the wheels mounting
the track, or a run off in any way what
ever, the car still remains on the track.
There are four steel shoes between the
two sets of wheels of each truck of sufic-
lent height from the track to clear any
obstacle that would pass under the pilot,
which, the moment the wheel leaves the
track, for any cause. fall on the track,
whether it is spread or not, and by de.
pending lips holds the same on the track.
These steel shoes are of sufficient width to
allow the cars enough play to turn the
shortest curves, and at the same time act
as a brake. The force Of a derailed train
would in no event be sufficiently great to
break the guard. An improvement in air
brakes Is also arranged so that the mo-
ment the wheels leave the track for any
cause, contact of the shoes OF the safety
guard with the rail, or any substance, puts
on the air brakes automatically on the en-
tire train, thus stopping the train in a
moment. This is accomplished by levers
running from groves or slots in the safety
guard shoes, which instantly upon strik-
ing the truck, open the cock valves, or
lift valves, on the air brake pipe, putting
on the air brakes instantly.
