Now THAT the convict labor system
has been foisted on Wyoming and a gen.
tleman imported from Nebraska to boss
the job, it is to be hoped that Senator
Warren will consent to rest on his oars
for awhile and indulge in a breathing
spell. Convict labor is. new element 10
the economies Of the state. There was
no irrepressible demand for it here and
neither was Wyoming aspiring to be a
dumping ground for the federal c~ouvIcts
of Colorado aud Idaho. Heretofore they
have been taken care OF in Detroit, and
when DISCHARGED we're far esough away
to STAY away. But Mr.. j. Marsh of Ne
braska had been of some political advau-
tage to to the junior senator in Weston
county, in his capacity as heeler tor the
Burlington. and SO he had to be taken
care of. He was given the job at the
Laramie penitentiary and displaced
United States Marshal Rankin il the
management OF that institution. Convict
labor and Marsh are now both saddled on
to the state-and for this reason we sug.
gest that Senator Warren now take at
least a temporary breathing spell.

SMOKE INDICATES FIRE

That things are in an unsettled way in
the general management Of the Union
Pacific road there can no longer be any
doubt but the degree of the unsettlement
and what it may involve are the sources
Of many rumors and more speculation.
The SPECIAL dispatch from Omaha pub
isbed in another column touches on a
phase Of the question which has hitherto
received scant attention. This has
reference to the prospective extraordinary
traffic of the road and the tremendous
revenues which will arise therefrom. It
would seem somewhat remarkable that
the management which has been in con-
troll during the recent period of stagnation
would now be preparing to get out when
the harvest Is ready to be reaped. Never
theless we are prepared to believe that
some radical changes are in prospect, if
they have not even now been practically
contaminated. The hint of Mr.. Willard
with reference 10 the Vanderbilt interest
is significant at this iunctuIe and the sur
prise expressed BY Mr.. Willard is shared
by many other people.
Tie West can only hope for a speedy
settlement OF the affair and that upon an
approximately permanent basis.

THE Sun finds it a great deal easier to
attack the personal character OF Moreton
Frewen than it does to answer his argu-
ments OIL the silver question. 1t has re-
manned for the Sun to discover (since
Frewen's interview on the silver question.
by the way) that Moreton Frewen was
the cause of the failure of Posts bank.
IF this is the fact, and it has never be-
fore been suspected, the Sun has very
little real reason to complain as the bank
failure has provided Senator Warren
with a $4,000 a year job as assignee with
attendant duties which appear to be no
more onerous than the laborious effort of
drawing his salary at stated intervals.

PROBABLY WILING TO GO.

The Laramie Boomerang says that
Bishop Talbot has not yet decided re-
garding his call to the Georgia bishopric
and then adds: THE committee who
visited Laramie recently when they re-
turned home addressed a letter to the
the United States asking them if they
did not think it best for Bishop Talbot TO
20 to Georgia. Information from the
South is to the effect that a large number
they favor the bishops going to Georgia.
Bishop Potter OF New York state, who
is a particular friend of Bishop Talbot, is
decidedly in favor Of the change. Bishop
Williams. the oldest bishop in the United
States, considers it Bishop Talbot's duty
to remain in Wyoming"
If this piece of information is correct
then Bishop Talbot must have accepted
the call. If he had declined it the matter
would necessarily have dropped tho mo-
ment he decided to remain in Wyoming.
There seems TO still be a misconception
regarding the modts operdndi of an cps
copal transfer in the Episcopal church.
Under the canons OF the church Bishop
Talbot cannot leave the diocese OF WyO-
ming and Idaho oil his own v%olition. lie
can accept a call, if he SO desires, but his
transfer cannot go into effect until it is APP
proved by a majority of all the bishops
and all the standing committees in the
church in the United States.
II Bishop Talbot didn't want to go to
Georgia, all that was necessary for him to
do was to decline the call and the matter
would have been ended right there. AS
the matter is being submitted for the APP
proval Of the bishops and standing com
mittees he must have signifed his willing
ness 10 assume the Georgia episcopate.

HARD AT WORK.
The Rain Doctor Pursuing His
Midnight Toll.
Nobody Allowed in or About the
Premises.
He Promises Copious Rainfall Be-
fore Tuesday.

Get ready for wet weather as the rain
doctor commenced work last night about
I o'clock and agrees to cause rain to fall
before Tuesday. The committee of man
ayers held a meeting Yesterday afternoon
aud told him to sail in and show what he
can do. Mr.. Melbourne says that the
rain will come and will come naturally,
that is, clouds will form and the rain will
be sure to fall.
Col Rainwater Jones is a confident
and firm believer in the powers OF the
wizard and wishes to tell everyone that if
thev smell fire and birthstone not 10 listen
for Gabriel's trumpet or expect the world
to come to an end but to close down the
windows aud wait for rain.
The forces &C work will be generated in
the barn on the old Freueu place. but at
present there are no visible signs of any
thing unusual going on. The story was
given out in an Eastern paper about a
long tube or pipe shooting up through the
roof of the shed where the rain. maker
was at work, but if he has the pipe with
him it must be a small one. as no one has
seen anything of the kind that belongs to
him. Mr.. Melbourne refuses absolutely
to say anything about his rain machine,
or whateyer it is He evades every
question, and when asked directly will
answer with a knowing smile and look
wise.
His brother, who is with him, is a bit
more communicative, but claims to be as
much in the dark about what causes the
rain as the public. He says that he now
has faith in his brothers overs. although
at first he was inclined to be a doubter,
but after the first rain at Canton, O., he
had to confess himself a believer. He
says hat his brother works alone and in
the dark or at least IN a tightly closed
room and that a pepper would be none
the wiser for his trouble.
Mr.. Melbourne says that the rain will
surely come and hat he is satisfied TO
await the judgment of the people on his
experiments.
At 3 O'Clock this morning two LEADER
reporters visited the scene of the ram
makers operations in the barn on the old
Frewen property. The sky was clear and
had every indication OF a long spell OF
dry weather. The raiumaker was alone
in the barn. About 10 O'Clock last even.
ing he and his brother had gone into the
lower part of the barn carrying four OF
five small grip sacks.
The rain wizard had gone into the loft
with the grip sacks and closed every en-
trance and %crevice through which any
prying eyes might see him. A shingle
taken off the root was the only means
of communication with the outside
world. Melbourne was armed with a big
revolver to discourage too curious
spectators. THE LEADER men watched
the barn for some time but it was all as
dark as a grave yard. Tho residence Of Mr..
Jones was then visited. Mr.. Jones said
that the operations so far had been con-
Quoted very quietly and 10 the dark.
Melbourne had told himshe would come
in as soon rs be got through work. but so
far had failed to show up. Mr.. Jones
was confident the work would be a success
aud was willing to bet big odds with the
reporters that there would be a big rain
tall before Tuesday.
