WATCH THE TAXES.

"Ies, Mr.. LEADER" says the Sun.
"a vote for Carey was a vote for state
hood"
Thanks for nothing, Mr.. Sun. 1t was
probably because Carey wa 50 influential
in securing statehood that the Republican
congress delayed consideration Of the
Wyoming bill for over two months while
an investigation was being made by the
Republican national committee to discov.
er if Wyoming was safely Republican.
They didn't take Caroy's word for 1t nor
Warren's either. but sent letters to other
Republican citizens living here. A gen.
tleman who received n communication OF
this sort answered in the affirmative. In
speaking OF the matter afterward he said:
Il probably stretched my conscience a
little in doing so, but | wanted statehood
bad enough to lie a little. Besides, my
heart would not break ever IN the contin-
gency that the Me and +. L. combination
was knocked out"
The Sun might include the whole of
The LEADERS cry in 1888: "A vote for
Carey is a vote for statehood and ruinous
taxation" You've got your statehood, but
you'v We got your taxes too. Taxation is
now the most vital element in the cam
paign. From the Republican standpoint
the election of United States senator's by
the legislature overshadows everything
else. 1t has been Carey's thought by

ECONOMICAL yANDEvANTER.
How He Kept Up Court Expenses 10
Attend TO PoIIucs.

ISundance Gazette.l
That was a nice little scheme Mr.. Fow-
Ter tried to work in p%ostponing our term
of court to the 18th. After seeing Judge
Van evanter 1t was agreed that the post
ponement should take place provided the
attorneys here would consent to it. Mr..
Fowler went around and readily obtained
their consent. The object was to allow
politicians of both parties who had court
duties here an opportunity to attend the
state convention, which met the same day
as our court, the 18th.
Our court IN the meantime could DO
adjourned from day to day to await the
pleasure OF the politicians, while the peo-
pie footed the bills. As soon as the true
inwardness of this scheme was apparent a
petition was circulated and signed by
nearly every body, Democrats and Repub-
leans alike. protesting against the post
ponement, and Chairman Moore of the
board of county commissioners, tele-
graphed the Judge that a petition would
be forwarded him and that there was a
strong feeling against the -postponement.
On Monday word was received that court
would on the regular day, the
18th and be ready for business. And yet
Mr.. Fowler had the gall to get up in the
Republican convention Monday and read
of his resolutions calling for an economi-
cal administration OF county affairs aud a
reduction in county expenses. It's n
wonder the little boys don't yell rats"
at him as he goes along the streets.

The Sun publishes what purports to
be an editorial. couched in the most subser-
vieLt language, quoted from the Lapmie-
Sentinel. As the Sentinel does not reach
Cheyenne ordinarily until Saturday this
is probably an advance sheet furnished by
the good Deacon Hayiord for fear any
body may rest under the Misrepresentation
that lie will not bear it ever when insult
is added to injury. The truly good dea-
con shows at least Christian humility, for

CONE to think of it the Sun has made
no reply to THE LEADERS, charge that
Judge Carey had deliberately misstated
the facts when he said hat no Republican
in the constitutional convention was small
enough to vote in favor Of the plan of
submitting oma suffrage as a separate
proposition to the people. As Judge
Carey is in temporary retirement prepar-
ing to "overwhelm" something or some
body he probably cannot find time to
meet the charge himself. but the Sun
can scarcely be excused for its inadver-
tence.

PREACHING AND PRAOT7CING

PREACHING AND PRACTYCING
The Sun in abiding to the subject OF
taxation makes copious extracts from the
inaugural address of Governor Warren in
which that gentleman spoke with the
sweetness of a cooling dove, and the en-
thusiasm OF an idealist. Among other
things he said, and the Sun quotes him
with evident joy: I'VE have reached a
stage in our progress where special leRis-
lation and special subsidies should not be
considered necessary to encourage the in
vestment Of capital; but instead let us
offer strict economy 10 tho management
Of territorial, county and municipal af-
fairs, moderate taxation and perfect pro-
lection under our laws for every interest"
The governor ought to know what he is
talking about, for there is no man in
laramie county who has enjoyed more
moderate taxation" and for more years
than he.
I'VE should deal fairly with ALL" says
the governor in his inaugural address,
the settler who is struggling for a foot
hold and a great many other people
whom he enumerates. How much better
it is to teach from example rather than
prcccpt, to-practice what we preach. We
have never heard Governor Warren ac-
cused Of being particularly indulgent to
the settler or that be ever exhibited any
overwhelming anxiety for them to secure
n "%foothold," particularly in the neigh
borhood of his own ranges. In fact, as
Judge Carey once said in a similar con-
n%ection, he would prefer to ''see them
cover and cringe at his feet like whipped
ours"
The milk of human kindness is an alb.
stract rather than concrete quantity in the
governors composition and what he may
say and what he may do under given CON
ditions may be two vastly different propo-
s%itions, as has been frequently demon
