A TIMELY

There are beginning to be signs all
over the state that the people generally.
like the people of Cheyenne and Laramie
county, are keenly alive to the importance
of the coming political campaign and the
influence il will have on their own imme-
diate future. With the advent of state
hood comes increased expenses for main
tanning the state government. Judge
Carey in a public speech once asserted
that the expenses of maintaining a state
government would not exceed GO per cent
of the amount usually expended in main
tanning a territorial government On this
occasion he probably allowed his enthus-
iasm to run away with his Judgment. for
no thinking man now doubts that the x
penses of government will be doubled if
not trebled.
1t therefore behooves every man who
pays a dollars worth OF taxes to dIspas-
sionately consider the qualifications Of
those for whom he may vote for Office.
particularly members of the legislature,
whose election NAV unfortunately depend
a good deal lore upon their choice for
United States senators than upon any
rock ribbed PRINCIPLES OF personal honesty,
public economy OF general fitness.
in considering these questions the
peoples mind. naturally revert to the
political condition Of Wyoming territory
during the past dozen years. They will
then remember that legislation has been
based almost entirely upon buncombe or
barter. A bill has been rarely
gotten through on its merits. One
member secures the passage of his
W pet bill by a trade with
other members, in consideration of which
he votes with them and they with him.
They have seen legislatures completely in
the grasp of one individual. They have
seen this task master crack his whip and
the subservient legislators. forgetful of
their own honor and the duty which they
owed their constituents, ''cringc and cover
at his feet like whipped ours" as Judge
Carey once expressed til another con-
n~ection. They have seen this one man
power grow UT to monstrous proportions
and thinking men are being aroused all
over the state to the necessity of shaking
off with territorial conditions the %territor-
ial thraldon which has heretofore bound
them.

A 20 WERFUL EXCORLATIOM.
Judge Carey in commencing the
McKinlly tariff bill, the most monstrous
fraud ever perpetrated upon the American
people, is at variance with many of the
l-lding Republican papers, especially
those published in the West. The Chicago
Tribune, St. Paul Pioneer Press, Omaha
Bee, Portland Oregonian. St. Louis
Globe Democrat and other strict party
papers have condemned the measure in
terms which are unmistakable. The fol
lowing from the Chicago Tribune may be
ofsome personal interest to the ex delegate
in this connection and certainly cannot be
misunderstood By any one:
During the debate on the Mckinley
bill Mr.. Benjamin Butterworth (Rep.) of
Cincinnati said:

wANrED--nETTER COOKING.

A writer in the Charlotte On. CO.
Chronicle makes q strong appeal for the
dissemination of better knowledge of
the art of cooking.
There is nothing in the world" says
he, that has such an appetizing aroma
as fried ham and brown gravy and mush,
and he loves them yet, but broiled meat
is far more easily digested but the prac-
tice of giving fried meat and white
gravy, boiled cabbage, fried bread, weak
coffee, and soda biscuits with the appear
ance of yellow jaundice, will sour the
disposition and make the average man
fly to pepsin, brandy, or even as mean a
thing as corn whiskey for internal re-
lief"
There is no question that bad cooking
is one of the great causes of dyspepsia,
and that better knowledge of how to
prepare food we'll would be of great
service.

The engagement of ''Colored Aristoc-
racy," booked to play at the Opera
House tonight, has been cancelled. The
show is one of the biggest humbugs on
the road, and as soon as Manager Beck
ner discovered it he tclegraphed them
that they could not appear here. This is
what the Knoxville Tribune says of the
company
There was a very large crowd Of
people at Staub's Theatre last night to
witness the performance of the Sol
orcd Aristocracy'' Company. 1t was al
most the unanimous verdict that the
show was very ''snidc." In other words,
it was exceedingly tough" 1t would
have been bad even as ten-cent show.
When the curtain went down on the last
act the house was filled with Kisses, and
the gallery gods manifested their indig-
nation by vigorous cries of rats
rats, "rats." a wagon load of rotten
eggs could have been retailed at good
price about that time in front of the

dentials, or the attraction would not

THE TARIFF STILL UNSETTLED.
The Conferecs Not Yet Agreed on the
Sugar and Metal Amendments

NAsIHNGToN, Sept. d. Special =
Although meeting of the conference
committee on the tariff bill had been
called for this morning. when the hour
of meeting arrived tho Democratic mem
bers were notified that there would he
no meeting. The reason for postpone
ment was desire on the part Of Repub-
lican conferccs to consult further among
themselves upon points remaining in
dispute.
1t is intimatcd that the metal schcd-
ule is the bone Of contention. A report
is current this morning that the iron
and steel men are not satisfied with the
concessions made by the Senate con-
ferees and are demanding n restoration
of rates fixed by the House. They are
threatening, it is said, if their demands
are not grated to defeat the bill
Northwestern Senators interested in
free binding twine, arc using their in
t1uence with the conferces to prevent
agreement to place duty of cent Il
pound on that article. Some of the in
tcrvicws between conferccs and these
Senators has been quite animated.
1T appears that no progress has been
made since Saturday morning in the
disposition of sugar and binders Irvine,
bonded period and metal amendments,
but that these, the most important
matters still open, are in such shape
that if an agreement be reached on one
it will probably result in an agreement
on the others. According to the Re-
publican members of the conference, it
is impossible to say whether or not COM
plete agreement can be reached and a
report made to the House tomorrow.
But it is limited that a report may be
made within the next two days that will
cover all points of difference that have
been adjusted, leaving the Senate and
House free to express their wishes re-
speeding matters still open.

THE FARs1ERs SHOULD HELP.

published at Wythcville, urges the

support to the effort to develop the

the Development Company on the Both

secure industries for the place but re-
ceived in many cases from $4,000 to
$1,000 for an Investment of from $500 to
$500. In addition it also alludes to the
benefit received by the farmers by Il con-
Sequcnt creation of home market and
an increased price for their products.
The statements of the enterprise arc
not disputable. There is no better way
to enlist others with you in develop
ments than by putting your own money
in what you want them to put theirs

resources, and the enterprise and hospi-
tality of it's people.
The good that will result from the
visit of the members of the institute,
if they are favorably impressed, and
they cannot be otherwise, will be in
calculable. 1t will afford an oppor-
tunity for a worldwide advertisement

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-[Spcciall-
At late hour tonight it was the conf
dent expectation of the Republican con-
fcres on the tariff bill that on Wcdncs-
day. or Thursday ut the latest, would
be witnessed the opening debate on the
adoption of the conference report and
the final passage of the bill by the
House. The Republican conferees had a
meeting tonight, lasting three hours,
and while the three disputed questions
of most Importance, rice, sugar, binders
Irvine and steel, were not settled, the
Senate and House wings Tapped near
enough together to warrant the conferecs
in saying that they had no doubt but
that both wings would be found work
ing in unison some time tomorrow
just on what basis this result would be
brought about they refused to state
saying that conclusions had not yet
been arrived at.
a meeting of the full conference com
mittec will be called for some time to-
morrow to pass formally upon the work
done in private by majority of the
members. This meeting it is not ex-
pectcd will occur ut noon, but it will
be called as soon as the Republicans. in
their meeting tomorrow. accomplish the
agreement they confidently assert will
be reached at to-morrow's formal SEES
sion. The ending, which there has been
so much talk, has been definitely set
tied, February being the date agreed
upon.
There is reason to predict that free
sugar standard will be placed at thirteen
and not at sixteen as proposed by the
House. thata compromise generally fav-
orable to the House will be the outcome
of the disputes over various items in
the metal schedule, and that binders
twinc also will be subject of compro-
mise. Southern Republican Congress-
men held a meeting tonight and adopted
resolutions declaring that it was very
essential to the interests of their con
stituents that the tax on tobacco should
he left as fixed by the House. Some of
them were quite emphatic in expressing
their determination to carry their point
on this matter.
