CHEYENNES REPRESENTA-
TON


The CHEYENNE LEADER Of last Satur
day had an extended article upon the
resignation Of j.. A. Rner and the fact
that the Cheyenne delegation will be one
member short in the legislature on that
acoount. THE LEADER has n lengthy
editorial. and also publishes interviews
with 4 dozen Cheyenne men on the sub
ject, the general purport Of which is that
the usual schemes OF Cheyenne to rob
and impose Upon the balance Of the state
might possibly fail to materialize in the
approaching legislature for want of that
one vote, and advocates the holding of
special election to fill the vacancy. at a
cost to the county OF $1,000 Laramie
Sentinel
When 10 the presence of IN individual
who p~erpetuallS cries Stop theft the
prudent man keeps his hand on his pock-
etbook. There is no newspaper editor in
Wyoming who has more frequently ut
tered thus cry of thief than has the
editor of the Sentinel aud there are nono
who have shown themselves more suscspt
ible to the ~alluring influences Of the al
mighty dollar. His paper this week i
entirely made up of| -s.:5ns against
the citizens Of Leramie county and the
Cheyenne enumerators, Just because The
LEADER has urged that n special election
be held to gil the vacancy in the cur
tailed legislative delegation graciously al
lowed US bY the constitutional convention
On the subject of the census IN
ton Laramie certainly can have no kick
coming against the enumerAtors who
were employed there. While Cheyenne
is satisfied with the enumeration made
last June it will by no means cover the
number Of inhabitants which this town
now contains. Since hat time the popu-
lAtion has been increased IS per cent but
we are neither Dragging about 1t nor
claiming an increased sp~portionment in
consequence Of it. All Laramie county
wants is her rights. Under the eonstitu.
tionAl convention apDortionment she did
not get them but when even the number
then allowed is cut DOVE by the resigna
ton Of one Of the delegation. no objection
should be raised to our filing the vacancy,
even by such a chronic meddler as the
Sentinel man.
If the Laramie editor would devote as
much time to building up the state as he
devotes to trying to pull Cheyenne down,
he would gain more respect for himself,
but this is probably too much to expect
from him because he isn't built that way.

WHAT IS REQUIRED.


The special election which takes place
tomorrow can have no special political
significance. The senate and house are
hopelsssiy Republican and therefore the
election Of a Democratic legislator can cut
no political figure. What is wanted is a
irst-dAss representative of the people of
Laramie county, who will serve his CON
stituents REGARDLESS of politics Bust
ness and not ~partisanship is what should
concern the Legislators, On the next leg
~islAture rests the duty OF setting tho state
machinery IN smooth motion. Owing to
peculiar financial conditions the s~trictest
economy will be necessary. All Appropu-
atoms that are not absolutely necessary
must be avoided so that the expense ac-
count may be kept down to a minimum.
In other words what Is most desired is
that the Legislators should manage the
public affairs With the same regard for
economy, the same prudence and the
same hon ssty that they would manage
their own private affairs. To Gil the
measure of expectation, therefore, who is
better qualified to serve his state in such
a capacity than a man who is himself a
successful business mani II is for this
reason that the candidacy OF Mr.. L.
KAbis, the Democratic candidate for sena-
tor, has been received with such favor.
In addition Mr.. Kabis is a pioneer settler,
a nan whose word is as good as his bond
and IN energetic rustler who will see that
Laramie county doesn't get any of the
worst of ever though he has to lose a
weeks sleep to prevent i.
Mr.. KAbis' friends shonld not forget
that all day tomorrow is election day.

RESCUED FROM THE BAY,
Young Whistler Has a Narrow
Escape from Drowning.

Among the boats that were engaged yes
terday afternoon in carrying visitors to the
cruiser Charleston, was the stern-wheel
steamer Caroline, Captain Scale. To at
tract patronage to his boat, Captain Seale
engaged the services of George Whistler,
pupil Of Paul BOynton, who was to jump
from the boat in a rubber suit and perform
acquatic feats for the delectation of the pas
sengers
The boat left her berth at o'clock. and
when midway to the cruiser Whistler,
paddle in hand, jumped overheard. As he
jumped nail projecting from the deck
caught in the lower part Of his rubber suit
and tore small hole. After Whistler had
performed one or two feats the Caroline
went ON its way.
As soon as she left Whistler found that
his rubber suit was filling with water and
that he was in great danger of drowning.
He tried to attract the attention of those on
the steamer, SO as to be taken on board,
but without success. He called to other
steamers, but those on board thought it was
part of the performance and did not go to
his assistance. The young fellow sank
lower and lower in the water and went
down rapidly with the ebb tide. As he
fioated he bethought him of two extra air
chambers of rubber that he carried in his
belt. These he pulled out and inflated
with air from his lungs, and then closing
the valves fastened them under his back.
lie knew then tnat he could not sink and
determined to go outside with the tide and,
II possible, make landing near the Cliff
House. When he got below Alcatraz, after
being in the water about two hours, he was
noticed by the crew of the schooner Eu-
phemia, which was coming up the bay lum-
Der laden from up the coast. The captain
made for him, picked him up aud took him
to the foot of Third street, where the YES
sci docked. From there Whistler walked
along the wharves to the Caroline. whose
captain wondered what had become of him.
Whistler says it was the narrowest escape
he ever had, aud that if he had not had the
extra chambers he would surely have been
drowned.
