wEAInER FoK NOVEMBER.


Signal Officer Ravenscraft Of this city
furnishes the following report of the con
dltiOn of November weather throughout
the state as based on his owe reports aud
observations received from special ob-
servers at Casper, Evanston, Fort
Fettcrman, Fort Laramie, Lander. Lara
ME, Lusk, Saratoga, Sheridan, Sun
dance, Wheatland and other points:
The mean temperature for the month
was 80. 3. which was near the usual for
November, although the first five or six
days were decidedly aboee the normal
throughout the entire state and was the
varmest November weather of which
there is any record. This warm weather
was followed by some very cold weather
which reached the minimum on the 10th
and 18th and was General throughout
the state. The highest temperature was
so at Casper on the LIST, Lander on the
Bird and Wheatland on the 5th, aud the
lowest temperature was 24' below zero at
Sheridan on the 10th. The greatest
monthly mean was 39.7 at Casper, and
the lowest mean was 24.9 at Sheridan.
The greatest monthly range was 940 at
Lander and the least was 730 at Evanston.
The absolute range for the state was
lO4. There were about twenty. five DAYS
on which the temperature fell below the
freezing point and all still water. such as
lakes and ponds, is frozen over.
The average precipitation for the state
was one-sixteenth of an inch. which was
above the usual November rainfall. The
entire precipitation was SLOW. The
greatest amount was l.l6 or about twelve
inches of snow at Sundance and the least
was .O5 at Fort Fetterman. The SNOW
did not remain on the ground any length
of time and was only beneficial in the way
OF moisture.
There were ten days generally c,oudless,
twelve partly cloudy and eight cloudy,
and the average number of days on which
precipitation was recorded was three.
The winds were generally westerly and
frequent high winds occurred during the
month.

says that the trainmen along the line are

neuyrIng Before He Succeeded.

jim Rankin. the veteran RawlIns stage

Canton. Rankin says that when Canton
was sheriff he one day met face to face a
notorious horse thief. lie had been look
ing for the man, but came upon HIM un-
cxpectedly. The desperate had his six
shooter IN a ~scabbard, which was fastened
to the saddle horn, and to draw the gun
done and having the drop on Canton,
whose six-shooter hung from his hip, the
bold rider SAID with a smile. You can't
take me Frank" Canton, looking into
the muzzle of the revolver, replied in even
more pleasing tones, 81 guess not; you've

cred his revolver aud allo we'd it to rest
against his left leg and the saddle, know
ing that he could shoot before the sheriff
could possibly draw his gun. Canton
made two cigarettes, handing one to the
watchful foe, who, placing his shooter in
his lap, took it. 1t was a bantering
game, but the horse thief still had the
best of it. Canton, rummaginP in his
vest pocket, failed To fiud a match, AMI
the other fellow reached in bis vest pocket
for one. Quick as a flash the sherifTs
hand went up and in it there was not a
match, but a small d]erringer. Il want

but to surrender. You bet" continued

BANK STATEMENTS.
A Careful Analysis Made of One
of Them.
Features Which Best Show the Sc
curity of DepOsitors.
A Few Comparisons Which Will
Prove of General Interest.

At this time the public is naturally
taking more than usual interest IN inc
of condition published by ma
tional banks. These statements as pub
Tsbed doubtless convey to the comptroller
nj the currency the information which he
desires to obtain, but to the minds of a
large majority of the people the mass of
figures are practically meaningless. What
people want TO know is how to tell from
a statement whether a bank is g md or
not. With this in mind The LEADER
has made a study of bank statements aud
taking the statement as published by the
Stock Growers National bank in today's
issue. as an illustration, will proceed to
explain the proper method of analvzing
the statements.
The first thing to ascertain is how much
a bank owes, and to arrive at this,
the lower half of the printed statement
shown as liabilities is taken. The first
three items in the one under consideration
are:
CAPITAL stock..-.-.... .......S350. 900 90

Profits ........ ...-"--....".... 32,54O O6

themselves. Statistics are distorted,
market quotations are garbled, facts
but partially stated-in short, IN
quirers who are honestly seeking
information are purposely misled-
to bring about a reversal Of the pop
ular belief that legislation for the
protection Of the protection OF the
labor and industries Of this country
is for the general good. All this for
the benefit of others than those
spending their time and money IN
advocating free foreign trade!
Millions of voters now employed
in manufacturing here in the United
States, at better wages than are paid
in any other country in the world,
are asked to support a policy that
must inevitably result in one Of two
alternatives either to turn over to
foreigners the privilege Of manufac-
turing for this country, or compel
American workmen to accept the
same wages that foreigners now
work for. And in the plenitude of
free-trade philanthropy it is insisted
that all the writing and preaching to
this end is to promote the welfare Of
those who work for wages.
Before giving ear to such falla
cious pleadings. it will be well for
workingmen now engaged in those
industries that foreigners seek tc
supplant, to look around, with the
view to discover what equally renu-
lucrative employment the free-trade
preachers are likely to have ready
for them. On this point the preach
ers maintain a silence that is peCul,
iarly suggestive.

Some Things Protection Has
Brought About

Look how the least thing stops
British trade. A fall in freights,
even to inconsiderable extent,
will lay up hundreds of ships; a de-
mand for a trife more wages from
operatives leads to mills and FORCES
being stopped. Why are English
capitalists and manufacturers flock
ing to America Why, if protection
is such bad thing, are they SO anx-
ious to come here 5? and why are
British operatives SO willing to &C
company them If Free Trade is
productive Of good to both classes,
why not stay in England
How do Free Traders account for
the fact that America has just beaten
England in the production Of pig
iron? Protection is supposed to
hamper national industry, but the
annual production of coal in the
States has doubled; the output of
steel rails has multiplied at tremen-
dous rate; the cotton crop has more
than doubled. If protection is an
evil, how comes it that the exports
Of domestic produce are double
what they were 20 years ago? How
is it that the national debt has been
reduced from S2,773,236,173.69 in
1866 to $1,5o6,716,476.48 in 1890 !?
People working under bad fiscal
policy do not usually pay some IS
hundred millions of dollars in "a
years. nor liquidate their debts faster
than any other nation can
The most mournfuI time in Eng
land is when the Chancellor Of the
Exchequer makes his annual inan-
cial statement. Last year Mr. Cos
chen had to resort to the most Iudic-
reus means Of raising money. His
projects for recruiting falling rev.
enue included such proposals as tax
ing vans, horses, wheels, and similar
petty articles Englishmen are al
ready taxed right up to the hilt, and
they even pay for the privilege Of
earning a living through the income
tax, and for the light to work by.
The latter tax was apparently re-
moved some years ago, but it was re-
placed under another name Amer
leans are taxed about So per head;
Europeans about $29.25 per head
It is estimated that the former earn
S365 each per annum and the latter
$I75 per annum.

The Sentinel we'll says that the
babyish claim of Democratic papers
that their gerrymander is justified
by Republican precedent, comes
with poor grace from party whose
mouth is filled with loud professions
of reform. But the claim is as false
as it is weak. An examination Of
the two journals Of the two houses
in previous years and Of other Zee
ords shows, that all opposition to
former apportionment measures was
based on individual dissatisfaction
and was wholly free from the claim
that the rights of the minority had
not been fairly respected. The pro-
cesses were all open and above
board; the sessions of the apportion
ment committees were shared in by
all members, and were open to the
public; and when all sides had been
heard the committees made their
own reports. and did not wait, as
this winter, till an outside party
came in with a roll Of manuscript
under his arm and threw it on the
table exclaiming there is your ap-
portionment, gentlemen"
