RICHARDS TWO FACED POL
Tnp

De Forest Richard has always been q
Republican and if the Democrats thought
otherwise they are now beginning to see
their mistake.-7he Sun.
The only mistake made by the people
OF Converse county was in believing Mr..
Richards to be a man, They awake to
find him n mouse. 1t may do for Mr..
Richards to have one set of sentiments In
Cheyenne and another set in Converse
county. but we scarcely think it will. As
Major Wolcot forcibly expressed it, Rich.
ards made the regency eat dog, but the
moment his own pressing wants were sat
listed he permitted the very regency he
had fought to take every county nomina-
ton in the list.
1t may be denied here, but it cannot be
successfully denied in Converse county,
where the facts are known, that Mr..
Richards secured bis nomination because
OF his loudly expressed opposition to the
Republican Clique. This is a matter
which Mr.. Richards must answer to his
own constituency. So far as we can get
at the facts there is no possible room for
doubt that he has already sold out the
people who honored him and to this peo-
pie he must make answer In his own
way.
So far as his opposition to the ME and
+. E." crowd is concerned we have in
black and white lust one extract from his
own speech delivered at Lusk and pub
lished in the Herald OF that town. He
was asked, he said, by one of the Douglas
ringsters to vote for r. f. Warren for
United States senator, in which event he
(Richards) would be given the nomination
for the state senate. We then quote fur
Their from the Herald: This be refused
to do, saying that while he held a warm
friendship for Governor Warren, yet he
would not pledge himself to any man or
ring of greedy SO called professional poll
ticians and wire pullers."
Mr.. Richards has already sworn his
fealty to Me and F. E." Perhaps it is
part of his political policy to blow hot in
Converse county and blow cold in Chcy-
enne, but this is not political honesty and
We doubt If it will win At the polls.

A correspondent in California writes
that it is a mistake to suppose that all
the asphaltum used in this country
comes from Trinidad. Many miles Of
streets in California have been paved
with American %asphaltum, which is
also extensively used for the covering
of wharf piles and the coating of IRON
pipe rs well as woodwork of various
kinds. The asphaltum referred to is
found at Ventura, Cal, where the de-
post is said to be practically mex
haustibla.

rs 1T A LAUGHING NATTER

There was a broad laugh all around

already explained the mistake. The
bill was handed him while busy at his desk
and he placed it in his pocket with a mum

council during the rush of official bust
ness, and on his representation the
amoun was unanimously allowed and the
warrant ordered to be drawn. Next
morning the error was discovered and the
issuance OF the warrant promptly stopped.
The mayor admitted that il was n case of

Professor Mayo says the power of the
Mormons is broken in Salt Lake City,
Utah, and vicinity. They are now in tho
minority and have hardly hnnd in the
government of the city in which they
were once supreme. The entire munich
pal government and the schools have
passed into the hands of the Gcntiles.
The sStial customs which distinguished
thcAlormons are fast disappearing. There

Times-Democrat, is very encouraging.

The Indians Three Cuds of Coca.

The laborers of Bolivia are universally
Indians, and all employers must furnish
q certain amount of coca to each man or
he will not work at all. In the mines the
least allowance per diem is five ounces for
every man and eight ounces is sometimes
given. Thus supplied an Indian works
willingly and well from 4 O'clock in the
morning until p. NJ, taking nothing to
cat i'll the meantime. He generally has
food of some sort before beginning his
labors, and after z in the evening he eats
whatever he can get.
His first cud is accumulated in about
two hours, from to q o'clock, taking it
leaf by leaf, stripping the central stem
between his teeth. and from time to time
adding few grains of potash. This al
kali causes burning sensation on the
lips, but is soon incorporated with the
cud, serving to neutralize the acidity of
the leaves and at the same time aiding
digestion by provoking an increased flow
of saliva.
AT 10 o'clock A. NJ. the employer gives
him an hour of rest. He then throws
away the mornings chew, rinses his
mouth with alcohol, and industriously
begins the accumulation of second cud.
Again, at 1 80 o'clock, another rest is
given, which the laborer employs in max.
ing third chew. At 3 80 the same per-
formance is repeated.
He still has little coca left for the
evening, and if the days allowance has
been generous enough he will keep him
self awake and garrulous all night. Many
Indians get credit against coming wages
for greater amount of coca than the
employer feels disposed to furnish gratis,
and if they can add to it some forty per
cent. of alcohol their bliss is complete.

The Commissioner of Patents at Wash
ington says that ''the time is coming
when our homes will be made cool by
the very same furnaces which warm us
in winter. AS matter of fact there are
plans and specifications already in this
Office which scientists have been engaged
upon for some time past and have nearly
perfected, that make it possible for every
one who can afford to own a furnace to
make, if he chooses, his house as cool as
an ice vault" Unless the furnace eats
up ice in the summer as fast as it eats up
coal in the winter, this should be a rather
useful invention, comments the Chicago
Herald. Perhaps, however. the best in
ventions for heating and cooling lie in
the moral Improvement of coal and ice
men.

The demand of tho Brotherhood of
Railroad Fircmen, assembled in conven-
ton at Hartford, Conn, that Congress
require railroad companies to adopt safety
brakes, is, in tho opinion of the New
York Herald, reasonable and just. On
nearly all the railroads in tho United
States the old fashioned hand brake and
coupling arc still used. The danger OF
these contrivances is proved by the fact
that thousands of employees nre thereby
killed and injured every year. The sta
tistics are simply startling. They show
an appalling loss of life and limb.
