The British accounts of the battle
show very little rancor. The most
glowing, not to say fowery descrip-
ton is that by Burgoyne, who was
something of literary man, and
wrote plays. Adjutant Waller of the
Royal Marines, talks about the rebe-
lious rascals who both poisoned and
chewed the musket balls in order to
make them the more fatal. That sto-
ry about poisoned bullets has been
told in every war, and has probably
been in each and every instance lie.
In my childhood the animositles of
the revolution revived by the war of
1872, were quite vigorous and person
al in their character I remember
one of my childish diversions was that
Major Pitcairn, who is described as
riding up at Concord, firing his pistol
and calling out: 'cDisperse, ye reb-

ed of Bunker Hill speak of him as a
brave man Of most exemplary char
acter. It is said that during the fight

the heat from the burning buildings

the hottest place he had ever been in;
whereat the major observed that a
soldier should care nothing about
heat or cold, but take things as they
came and do their duty. Majof Pit

brought over to Boston, where he
died and was buried with Colonel

result. 1t was then decided to win him
over by a nomination for territorial aud
itor, although Governor Warren could
not help knowing that the council would
not then confirm Burdick for the position.
Burdick, however, accepted the nomina-
ton but failed IN confirmation and there
after acted with his party.
At the time it was considered some
what remarkable that Burdick should
have considered a sop thrown to himself
as in any measure offsettIng the insult
which had been put upon his entire con-
st~ituency. That be did, however, con-
slider complete PREPARATION had been made
is shown frt, by the fact that
he accepted the governors nomination of
him for territorial auditor, second, that he
was deeply incensed at the action of the
house in summary and contemptuouslY
killing his bill, and third. that he got n
tirely over his anger the moment an office
was offered to him.
1t was for much the same reason that
Mr.. Burdick is now upon the Republican
ticket for the Office Of state auditor. The
machine wanted to plAcate the disgrun-
tied Saratoga and Platte valley people in
this way; but if the elevation Of Burdick
will satisfy them after the manner in
which they have been treated by their
Republican friends, they are indeed easily
satisfied

may be cracks inside of it which he
does not see, and the grain and streaks

The onyx in its rough state looks like
other stalactites and stalagmites, though
1t might be taken for marble by any
n not in the business. 1t is worked
much as marble is, by saving and pol

exercised and that the polishing is more

was to secure a new county organization.
They were modest 10 their demands. They
simply desired permission tc organize a
new county when they could show an as

reasonable bill to this effect was passed
bv the Democratic council and sent to
the Republican house, where it was

MP THOMAS, SpERCH

For the first time during this campaign
Wyoming was last night lifted bodily from
its local political moorings and projected
into the arena of national politics Liv-
ing in a territory we have hitherto had
but a negative interest IN such grave
national issues as that of the tariff.
Whilst as an abstract proposition We
might have considered the Inconsistencies,
the infamies and the atrocities Of the
tariff, living in a territorial condition it
was hard for the people to bring it home
to themselves. But now the conditions
are changed. Wyoming for the first time
in It's history is a distinct political enuty
and its people are to the fullest extent
American citizens, concerned in the ma
tional law making and peculiarly inter
ested in the equitable administration of
the laws.
The speech delivered by Hon. Charles
s. Thomas, of Denver, in the opera house
last night was not a political speech in the
narrow sense of the term. 1t was a
luminous exposition of the doctrine of
tariff reform, enunciated by the most
complete master Of tho subject IN the
Western section of the country. To the
masses Of the people an abstruse subject
such as tho tariff undoubtedly possesses
comparatively little interest when pre-
seuted in the loosejointed style of most
political orators. The figures tire them
and the technical terms become an abom-
nation. But IN the bands of a man Ike
Mr., Thomas the subject becomes re-
spleudent with vitalized interest and
what had heretofore been abstract
theories now stand before them as CON
crete realities.
In the fullest aud highest sense of the
term Mr.. Thomas address rises to the
height of campaign education. 1t CON
tains no froth and no fustian. 1t is
simply a luminous exposition OF a deep
subject which the speaker thoroughly I'M
derstands down to its remotest details and
which he has the faculty of making as
plain to his hearers, as interesting and as
appalling in its practical workings as it
appears to his own clear vision.
IL was a mastery presentation of the
tariff issues and it did good to everybody
who heard IL

THE UNDERLYING AMBITION.


Warren's candidacy for the United
States matt is daily assuming more tan
gibility. If the legislature is Republican
Carey will be one of the men selected as a
matter of course. for to judge from the
one of the Republican press the legisla.
ture is to be chosen for this specific pur-
pose and for no other. 1t is n well
known fact that Judge Brown has sena-
torial aspirations which he makes no effort
to conceal from his friends, but he is
fully aware that he cannot count upon
n support from the Cheyenne oligarshy.
He tried it once, but increasing age has
probably added TO his wisdom. He now
realizes that the promises of politicians
are like diccrs' oaths-composed of very
elastic material. The feeling which has
existed between Brown and the ME and
Z. E." combination has not been cordial
for some time past. When the petitions
for Warren's appointment as COVER
nor we've being circulated one of
them IVES presented to Judge
Brown. He had no reason tor es-
peoial cordially toward Warren, but it
was represented to him that the great de.
sire was for the Republican party to pre-
sent a united front and make it appear at
Washington as though the request for
Warren's appointment was a practically
unanimous one. 1t was at this time that
Judge Carey promised Brown the chief
justiceship. Under the circumstances be
expected to get it, but be didn't Van
Devanter had been useful to Warren both
at home and abroad and as Warren
wanted to elevate him TO the chief Justice
ship what was poor Carey to do but do as
he was bid? Judge Brown nevertheless
would checrfully accept a tender of the
senatorial toea, but he has no reason to
expect it if"Me and F. f." can prevent
it, for the Cheyenne oigarchy is a close
corporation which gobbles the fat plums
itself
Then there is the venerable president
Of the university, John W. Hoyt A. NJ.
NJ. D. LII d., who is positively as mad
as a March hare as he skirmishes through
the sage brush, a senatorial bee buzzing
in his bonnet. He is apparently suffer
ing under the delusion that he is in the
race for the senatorship. He is encour-
aged in his race by mods and winks from
headquarters, and Judge Brown is also
being patted on the back. Other candi-
dates will be induced to spring up, and
in the event of a Republican legislature
these will make an indiscriminate scram-
bic for the one vacant place. This is the
point at which Warren expects to CONF
in and bear of the %laurels, as he has a
happy faculty OF doing.

ECoNoMY TIE CRYING NEED

ECONOMY THE CRYING NEED
The article which we yesterday pub.
lished from the Laramie Boomerang on
the subject Of taxation IS well calculated
to attract widespread attention from
thoughtful people, for it rises entirely
above the domain Of so-called personal
politics 1t deals in facts and figures
secured from the official reports, and the
showing is one which might reasonably
startie the large majority of the taxpayers
who have now such strong personal inter
est in the subject of taxation.
In brief the Laramie paper shows this
condition Of affairs, In January, 1886,
there was a balance IN the treasury of
SSl, 1854 :. The total expenditures of
the previous year had been S3s, obs. 90.
There vas no territorial debt. At the
legislative session Of that year appropria-
tons were made to the amount Of $IO2,-
S97. 90 lmuch of it e~xtravagant), as
against SO. 05 for the two previous
years. This mount was exclusive of
public buildings, which increased the
total appropriations of this legislature to
1892, S97. 90. With the increased appro-
p~riations there was naturally a greatly in
creased tax lew which WAS not met
by a corresponding increase in the assess
able valuation. In 1885 the tax rate was
one mill; 10 1886, two and three-tenths
mills; in 1887, three and 70 tenths mills,
and in 1888 six and nine-tenths mills.
Not only the surplus OF 1886 vanished,
and every dollar raised was spent, but the
territory was plunged in debt 10 the tune
of $500, O00.
The article in question only dealt with
the arount OF money actually
expended through legislative appropria-
ton. As a matter of fact the legislature
of 1886 authorized the expenditure of
over a million and a quarter dollars and
that it was no, all spent is due alone to
the good sense OF the people themselves.
The legislature of 1893 authorized the ex-
penditure of over $3.50. 600.
The necessity therefore for exercising
discretion in the selection Of legislative
representatives is apparent to everyone
who has the good of the state at heart
aud who is anxious that the ship of state
should not founder upon financial break
ers, "a vote for the Republican legisla-
tive ticket is a vote for Carey"
says the Sun, but this is by no means the
principle involved 10 the selection of
legislative representatives. What the
people want are men who are pledged to
represent their interests with the same
fidelity they would exercise in conducting
their own private business. Pledging
them to vote for certain men for the
United States senate will not satisfy the
demands of the taxpayers this year. They
van public integrity. faitbfulness to the
people rather than to the party, and a
rigid economy such as has not lately been
exercised in public affairs.

A locomotive of the Consolidated
road, which was housed safely in the
roundhouse at Bridgeport, Conn, one
night, had a surprising attack of som
nambulism before dawn. When no
N was in or near it ii started out of
the roundhouse and came TO a short
and undignified halt in the turntable
pit In some way the steam was forced
through the whistle SO that it was i'm
possible to shut it of, and the stranded
engine gave a shrek OF distress which
lasted an hour and made every one in

NON-REGESTEREp VOTERS.

Can those who have failed to register,
either through sickness or absence from
the city. legally vote at the state election
next week. This is a question, the dis
cussion of which has brought about a
rather strange discovery.
By turning to page POI of the journal
Of the last legislative council there will be
found an extended report OF a conference
committee on the subject Of the election
bill. The report is signed on behalf of
the council by c. A. Campbell, chairman,
R. NJ. Galbraith and A. b. Liggett. On
page asa Of the house journal is found an
almost precisely similar report signed on
behalf of the house by Thomas B. Adams,
Frederic s Hebard and William e. Guth-
RE. Among other things the conference
report, as published in both journals, con-
tains these words:
That the following be added to section
%: mo person shall vote in any registry
district who is not registered as is herein
before provided, except the person offer
ing to vote shall make and subscribe to an
affidavit stating that the person offering
to vote was absent from such district, or
tick and unable to register during the
time of registration. Such affidavit shall
also state the necessary qualifications
which entitle such person to vote, which
affidavit snAll be cUrroborated by the aft
dayit OF two qualified electors, and the
name of such person then voting shall be
entered upon the poll list with the nota-
s.1- n-nt rou,snrnlt tk,rn,Ntan .,l 81
affidavit shall be made a part Of the cleo
ton returns"
Both Journals show that the report of
this conference committee was unanimous
ly adopted in both the house and council
and yet the enrolled copy OF this house
bill fails to show this amendment and it
fails 20 appear in the printed session laws,
The circumstance IL in every way a re.
mArkable enc, but does ITS omission,
whether wlllful or negligent, disiranchise2
1t does not, and whatever scheme, if
any, was sloat is defeated by the follow
ing:
Sec. 81. If any person entitled t vote
shall, on account Of absence of FIVE miles
or more from his proper election precinct,
be prevented from voting thereat, he
shall not for that reason be disqualified,
but he nay vote in any other precinct in
the territory for delegate in congress, if it
be outside bis own county. and for all Off
cNrs except precinct officers if it be within
his county and outside his proper pre-
cinct.
The same section also provides for the
necessary affidavit. Section 10 OF Article
vi Of the state constitution provides that
nothing therein contained shall be con-
strued to deprive any person Of the night
10 vote who has such right at the time of
the adoption of the constitution.
Section Il is as follows; -
No person qualified TO be an elector Of
the state Of Wyoming shall be allowed to
vote at any general or special election
10 be holden 10 the state. until Re or she
shall have registered as a voter according
