Thieves are using continuance look

which is so arranged that by pressing a
spring at the handle the ferrule will
spread apart and form sort of spring
clip that will take hold of anything that
IS within reach. The thing is called "the
continental lifting stick" and is used to
take goods from behind counters when
the shopman's back is turned.

A Winter Without a Snow Plow.

1t is fact probably without precedent
that there has been no use for snow
plows on Vermont railroads during the
winter just closed. 1t is true that the
narrow gauge pillow was run over the
road once or twice-not to open the
track, however, but to provide for the
possible contingency of heavy snow
storm. The Central Vermont plows were
not called out at all.-Brattleboro Phce-

MILWAUKEE,, Wis, April 29.-Presi-
dent Merrill, of Ripon college, who is
recognized as one of the leading educa-

gationalist, has created a decided polit-
ical sensation by declaring himself as
unalterably opposed to the Bennett
school law, in the course of his address
before the Congregational union, held at
the Church of the Pilgrims, on Grand
Avenue. He denounced the law as I'M
American and in the course of his re-
marks said: "Those who saw that the
secular and sovereign state shall deter
mine the educational formation of a
human soul, in the most critical period
OF its existance are about twenty-five
centuries behind the proper wisdom of
the time. That would have done for
Sparta, but it is very poor wisdom for

THE GRANT INVESTIGATTON

THE GRANT INVESTIGATION
The legislative committee appointed to
investigate certain matters in reference to
the office of Mortimer n. Grant, late
auditor, presented a majority and minor
ity report yesterday. Briefly the majority
report concludes that there is no law al
lowing the payment of certain certificates
of Indebtedness issued by ex-Auditor
Grant while the minority report favurs
a payment Of the claims as Just and
honest.
1t may now be stated that Grant has
meyer been charged with interpolation
Of the public funds" as the Sun has
been endeavoriuR to make its readers be-
lieye. lie received 81 200 a year and a
contingent Of $500 a year as audit r.
He was allowed nothing for the payment
of a deputy. 10 addition to the ordinary
duties of the auditors Office he was called
upJn to act as a member of several public
boards and was made ex oficio insurance
commissioner The fees of this ofice
amounted to $3.50 during Grants in-
cumbeucy and previously went to the in
surance commissioner. Under the new
law they went into the public treasury.
These duties occupied the entire time of
a deputy aud a great deal of the auditors
time. The compensation was scarcely
commensurate with the services per
formed aud considering the work done in
comparison With other better paid officers
Grant thought he wa, entitled to more,
He therefore issued the vouchers just
before he was superseded in the Off e and
kept them 10 his own posse sion until the
legislature met
Upou the organization Of that body he
addressed a letter to Speaker Kellogg in
which be made a statement of the case
and asked that a legislative committee be
appointed to investigate the matter. He
enclosed the vouchers and stated that if
the legislature did not believe him entitled
TO the money the letter might be consid-
cred as authority from him to cancel the
vouchers. Whether or not Grant was en-
titled to the money, it cannot be said that
there IS anything either dishonest or dis
reputable about this transaction.
The legislature will now pass upon the
merits of these claims aud decide whether
they are lust or otherwise.

Meanwhile what is the junior senator
doing? The Washington correspondent
Of the Denver Netcs obligipgly answers
this question. He says;
Senator Warren of Wyoming attracted
more attention today than any other sena
tor in the chamber. This was due not TO
any effort on his part, but to the fact that
ne wore a large brown shade upon his
brow which protected his eyes and rem
dered a considerable portion of his attract

extent OF Senator Warren Innovation may
be Judged when 1t is stated that Capt

circumstances Warren should have ere.

EXPENSES Should BE KEPT
no nm

Commend us to the Sun as the choic-
est muddier OF plain statements we have
come across. Two days ago THE LEADER
quoted an article from the Rock Springs
Hdependeat on the subject of taxing the
coal output 1t showed that some
thought had been given to a subject
which is yet comparatively new to Wyom
ing. The ideas evolved we're well worthy
Of consideration aud the article was there
fore published in this paper SO as TO bring
it to the close attention OF the members
Of the legislature. At the same time NC
stated that we were emphatically in favor
of forcing these owners of coal lands
and coal mines TO contribute their share
to the expense of maintaining a state
government. The only question there
fore involved was as to the method to be
pursued to reach thus desired end. The
San ~willfully misconstrues the intent OF
the articles and accuses both THE LEADER
and the Rock Springs paper of being
leaRuei together to obstruct legislation in
this much needed direction
As we before expressed il there is one
danger ahead in this matter. The coal
OUTPUT and coal lands will be taxed to in
crease the state revenues. but instead of
this money being used to decrease the
burthens already falling so heavily upon
the taxpayers it is liable to be eaten up by
extravaganza IN the way OF fat salaries, in
the creation OF new Offices and adding
needless expenses here and there. Ii the
legislature maintains It's idea that ~salaries
suited to a state with an Assessable vAld-
alton of one hundred million dollars should
not be paid in a state with assessable
values OF only thirty millions and all other
expenditures be proportionately curbed
we may hope for some relief from the
contributions which will be made by
owners OF coal mines. If our Expense
keep pace with this increase in our
assessment roll the practical benefit to the
general taxpayer will not be worth mem
vioning.
In thus same connection It may be
stated that we have always believed that
there are entirely too many exemptions
from the tax rolls. No secret or benc-
violent societies, for instance. pay any
taxes. They may own magnificent build
ings containing fine storerooms Tor which
they contribute nothing to the county,
city or state while the private owner Of
the adjoining building is heavily taxed.
If the purpose Of extending the assess
ment role is to decrease the general tax
levy instead Of hnding new channels into
which to divert the peoples money we are
now only in favor Of taxing the mine
owners c~ommensurately but in taxing the
property of secret and fraternal o~rsaniza
tons as we'll.
