A PLAIN DEMONSTRATION.

There are various reasons why the fol-
lowing brief article from the Aspen, Colo,
Times should have a good deal of interest
at this time:-"Western Colorado will
furnish three fourths of all the silver and
lead Gre mined in the state, yet the sec
ton sends all its ores over the range for
treatment. We believe that the thinkers
that will soon meet at Aspen as delegates
to the Western Colorado congress can de-
wise a scheme that may induce the rail-
roads to charge such rates to make it
possible to carry on smelling works sue
c~essfully this side of the range. They
must be made te see that they can make
as much or more money, then they will
let down the bars 80 capital will erect the
smelters. The short haul question must
be overcome.
Here is a mathematical problem: By
the Rio Grsnde to Denver from Aspen il
40s miles and over a high range that ne.
cessitates two locomotives to pull II small
train, say of ten cars. The charge on Low
grade ore is SC a ton and on ore worth
over $50 it is IS a ton. With a smeltel
on this side of the range, say 100 mile
from Aspen, one locomotive would hau
twice as many cars and make the trip il
one-fourth of the time. The cost to tn,
railroad company would be divided b,
four and the receipts multiplied by two, i
Sc and IS a ton were charged. But lie
the roads cut this rate one-halt. the
they would make more money than b
hauling to Denver. Not only that. bu
their tonnage would be greatly increased a
a saving of So to "a a ton to the mine
means that he could ship ore that carrie
from three to four ounces less in silve

present output. THIS would work near

Bald mountain. but there are good mines
in this range and the miners TO be fed
will rapidly increase. Coal and petroleum
are that will soon be productive.
The market will more thar keep pace
with production. The unchecked tide of
immigration is fast congestiog the settle
meuts along the old line of immigration
and it must be turned IN new directions.
Why not to the garden of Wyoming,
where the settler can see the old frontier
disappear and the new civilization take
its place? Where the snow waters are
carried on top of the highest foothills,
converting them into fertile fields. Where
towns that will soon be cities have already
sprung up with true Western s%wiftness.
Where the shouts OF school children echo
from the old battle fields. Where the
landscape is already dotted with comfort
able, neat and happy homes of prosperous
farmers, sure of the crops, sure of peace
and plenty Wyoming has been laughed
at BY some of the smart Alecks who know
all. 1t is a wonderland that has Just
begun to attract attention. Not only a
wonderland with geysers and Yellowstone
falls and lakes; of bad lands hideous as a
dream of Dante, but a wonderland OF
cloud clad mountains whose SHOWS are
ready to f~ertilize the rich soil and convert
whole counties into gardens and win for
the new state the title of the Garden OF
the Rockies. G.. +. BAILEY.

p.pered Her Room with Envelopes.


"Our house is all topsy turvy. The
paper hangers are working in every room
but one" said a Prospect venue girl.
And why one exception" asked the
young man whose feet were dangling
from the veranda rail and who assumes
to ask questions on all subjects. why
don't you make a clean sweep of it and
paper the whole house?"
"Papered the other room myself"
"You did," cried four voices at once.
~Yes, and every one of you furnished
part of the material. Come along and
I'll show you"
There was the room, and surely 1t was
oddly decorated. The four walls were
papered with envelopes addressed in all
manner Of hands, and with postmarks
from New York to San Francisco. For
two years this maiden, so original, saved
all the envelopes which brought her let
tiers, and when she had enough she took
a pot of paste and covered her walls.
The letters were pasted on in the
order of their coming and made quite a
serial story. They are of all shades and
sizes and of several tints, and one can
easily trace the regular mail from her
constant correspondents, while here and
there is one which has some special sig
nificance. One in black border is from
a dear college chum whose mother had
just died, and not far away is one which
brought the tidings of a happy marriage
of another chum in distant Italy. The
owner of this collection would not
change it for any wall paper Buffalo
could furnish or import.-Buffalo En-
uuirer.

THE RESULT IN NEW YORK.

The result OF the legislative contest in
New York is no longer in doubt. The
democrats have been successful. Gov
ernor Hill savs:-'They know they are
beaten and that We have the legislature,
and more than that, we will have 1t for a
long time to come"
According to the New York Sun this
is the present situation: THE senate
now stands. with Sherwood, the ineligible
Republican candidate included: Re
publicaus, l6; Democrats. Is; Indepen-
dent Republican, /. The state board OF
capyassers. by deciding Sherwood in
eligible, will give the Democrats 16 and
Republicans Is. Should Edwards vote
with the Republicans the senate will then
be a tie, with Lieutenant Governor
Sheehan to give the deciding vote. Once
the senate is organized the contest of
Sentaor NJ. F. Collins (Democrat for the
seat 10 the sixteenth district now held by
Derby (Republican) will Re decided. prob
ably in favor of Collins.
I'm the assembly the outlook is still
better. The Democrats will have a ma
jorlty of from iour to five at the outset,
without relying in any way upon the very
uncertain O'Dair,
Judge Fursman, at a special term OF
the supreme court held here today. heard
plication of Assemblyman George Nj.
Beakes of Sullivan county for a peremp-
tory writ of mandamus compelling the
county board of canvassers to ~reconvene
and reconsider their action in awarding
the certificate OF election as a member of
the assembly to Henry Keurick, and to
canvass the vote as it appeared on the
face of the returns as they we're origin
ally returned to the county clerk.
Thornton A. Niven, John d. Mcmahon
and g. A. Bush appeared for the
applicant and John II. Carr for the
defendantant. The whole case rested
on three votes, two Of which were
folded together and cast as one. and the
third marked for Identification. The in.
spectors of election counted but one OF
the two votes found folded together. and
threw out the marked ballot as defective.
The county board of canvassers. which
has a Republican majority, counted both
the folded ballots and the marked ballot
as having been cast for Kenrick, thus
giving him the election by a plurality of
one.
Judge Fursman held that the board
of canvassers possessed simply ministerial
functions and had no right to 20 behind
the returns and count any votes for any
candidate except as they we're given to
the board by the inspectors whose duty it
was to count them. He therefore
granted the writ of mandamus which re-
quires that the board shall convene with
in ten days and canvass the vote for
ass%emblymen as it was returned by the
election inspectors. If this is done
Beakes (Dem.) will get the seat by a
plurality Of one.
THE Republican leaders here declare
that the board will not obey the order
and Lawyer Carr gave notice hat he
would appeal the case to the general
term"
