How to Become a Capitalist.

Somebody must save money );
and the people who save it will be
the capitalists, and they will con-
troll the organization of industry
and receive the larger share of the
profits. If the workingmen will

only sharers of profits, but owners

=bends.s==#=5=s==s==z===s
Workmen can save their mon
ely if they will. 1t is the only way
in which they can permanently
and surely improved their condi-
ton. Legislative reforms, improv-
ed industrial methods, may make
the way easier for them, but there
is no road to comfort and indepen-
dence, after all, but the plain, old
path Of steady work and sober
saving. Ii the working people Of
this country would save, for the
next five wears, the money they
spend on beer and tobacco and
base ball, they could control a pref
ty large share of the capital en-
ployed in the industries by which
shey get their living; and tn y
could turn the dividends of tins
capital from the spoekets Of the
money-lenders into their own.
There is no other way Of checking
the congestion Of wealth and Of
promoting its diffusion, so expedi-
tious, so certain, and SO benefic-
lent as this. I wish the working
people would try ii.-Washington

E.---@~-----------.
Senator Daniel, of Virginia,
we'll says that the Federal Election
Bill "closes the avenue of com
munication between the people
and their Government. The
President and the Senate are not
elected by a direct vote of the
people. The President is elected
by an Electoral 650ff1fege5ehosen BY
the poplar vote in each Of the
States as a whole, and the Senate
is elected by the States rs sovereign
States, but the House has hereto
fore been chosen directly by the
votes of each district, and it gives
lis local re presentation directly
from the people. Under the Elec-
ton bill the President will have
the power, through his appointees,
who are in no wise responsible to
the people, to say who shall rep
resent the people. twill not be
a question Of who has the most
honest votes, but who is the most
acceptable to the President. The
Presidents message so far as
it relates 70 the hhsty legislation
Of the 5istyCehnegaess shows that
he has no respect for the will of
the people, but that he and a Con
gress which has been repudiated.
must be the best judge of the
wants of the country. SO will it
be if the Election bill is passed
the votes Of the people will be
regarded as iiotfing, but in deter
mining who is elected the Federal
Judge under strong party neces-
sity will certify only those who
are in accord with his political
theories.

1t was hoped that tho Repuhli-
can party, while in control Of evz
cry department Of the Govern
ment, would do something for the
relief Of the people, but it seems
now that such hopes were vain.
Coming into existence MS a Sec
tionsf party,1t a time when Hi here
. was some excuse, if not some real
need OF seetionalism. it. has done
some good, but has outl lived its
usefulness. There are now no
questions which should divide the
sections. We fought out our diff
ferences as men, and now the
demand of the agricultural and
#lahoring4 elasses=inL theEast@the
West and the South are identical.
A H are demanding il freer trade
with less interference with our
State Governments by the general
Government, or in olhcr words the
restoration of the Government
which we had before the war.
Link after link fl the chain Of
central despotism has been forged
forus by Republican leaders. We
are now forced to buy of Ameri-
can manufactures at their own
prices, and the Republican party
will not be content until they
have placed in the hands of the
President the only power which
the people have ever had in the
general Government-by the pass
age of the Federal Election Bill.

GIVE IT A FAIR Snow.
Expose the SwindIers but Don't Over
look the Good in the Camp.

Last week the Rock Springs IHdepA-
dent contained an article which related to
the sailing of a placer claim in Buffalo
gulch near Gold Hill. The article was
copied quite extensively in the state
papers including THE LEADER, and the
supposed sailing vigorously condemned,
as it should have been. The Independent.
however, in its last issue oYershoots the
mark and seems DESTROYS of giving Gold
Hill a black eve. Among other things
the Independent saws:
I'VE are more convinced than ever that
there is a large amount of exaggeration
about the richness of the Gold Hill claims.
A visitor who was there a short time ago
tells US that there Is scarcely a claim there
in which one cannOt buy a whole or part
interest for from $3.50 to $3.50.
THE only strike many of the prospect
OTIS of God Hill ever expect to make is to
strike some tenderfoot and sell him a
worthless hole iu the ground for several
hundred dollars"
While it may be true that there is
scarcely a claim in which one cannot buy a
whole or a part interest for from $3.50 to
$3.50" there are claims in which a very
small part cannot be bought for $3.50.
The best known and best developed
claims cannot be bought outright. There
are claims in Gold Hill which are not for
sale. On some of them development
work continued all winter and will never
permanently stop unless after mill runs
it is found that the ore will not pay for
milling. This Is not likely to be the case
# there is any virtue in an honest test By
assay or the judgment of those who have
examined the ores is to be trusted. The
last paragraph we quote from the hide
pendent gives a more false impression
than the others. There are dishonest
men in all kinds of business and adven-
turers always flock into a new mining
camp. There may be swiudlers in Gold
Hill even this early in its career, and
while the advice of the Independent to
''go slow" NAV be conscientiously given
why not on the other hand give the camp
a fair show In this connection it is
noticeable that the Green River Advertiser
trys to build up the Victoria district by
crying down Gold Hill. 1t seems to us
not to be on the line Of good principle and
a very poor wav of attracting to this state
the attention ofmen who might %investi-
gate for themselves.

AN EMPHATIC DENIAL.
A Responsible Miuer Saws the Gold
HII PIaceTs Were not .sSaIIed.v

To the Editor OF n Leader.
SARATOGA, Wyo., May 2O.-DEAR
SIR: In your edition of Sunday last, the
18th inst, you reprint an item, originally
published in the Rock Springs hdepen-
dent which as it not only reflects seriously
upon my reputation for honesty and
honor by bringing a most grave and
serious charge against me, l being the
resident member Of the company re-
terred to, but is calculated to do great
mischief to the interests of thus district, |
trust you will spare me a small portion of
your valuable space to reply and IN
qualifedly deny the disgraceful and foul
accusation.
In this item, after p~raising the samples
sent in to Rock Springs BY the expert
sent up here by the Rock Springs Placer
Mining company. the Independent says,
some of the members of this
being still skeptical in spite of their ex-
pert's report, went up to investigate for
themselves. The amateur miners could
not wash out a color" (this frequently
happens to amateur miners and would
not be astonishing if the ground we're
even richer than it is and the expert at
once exclaims that the ground had been
''salted."
Had tins ground been sailed | should
think that an expert could have dis
covered it at first, without the assistance
of either a cashier, a sheep man. or a coal
miner, all of whom are no doubt very
efficient in their own respective lines, but
with about as much knowledge of placer
mining as thev have Of heaven. The
ground iods not sailed. and the men who
claim this to be the case must nave some
Interior end in view. The Independent
also says that | induced the other menu
bers to turn in their money, while |
turned in my claims. How much did the
company turn in? Just twenty dolllIs
and out of that immense sum l made a
trip from Gold Hill to Rock Springs and
back. staked out and located the claims,
and paid for recording them. There was
nothing in that for me, and there was to
be no money in it for me, unless it came
out of the claims, when. If they paid. l was
to receive my share with the other mem
bers OF the company. The Independent
says | succeeded 10 i%ooling, not only the
lurid expert, but also every other person
who went up there to look the ground
over. How uroud the coal miner, sheep
man aud cashier must feel when they re.
fleet upon their smartness and think up.
on the number of men who have been
foolish enough to take up claims extend.
ing Tor miles up and down the Brush creek
gulches! How foolish OF them not only
to have taken them up, but to be even sat.
is6ed with their prosDectsl But then most
of these men are miners and under
stand their business and are not cashiers,
sheepmen and coal miners.
In conclusion, my record, | am proud
to say in this district, laces me above
suspicion amongst those who ave known
me for years, of any uuderhauded Drac-
tees, aud, were it not due tor the inter
ests of the camp, l should not trouble
you with this total denial of a lie manu-
featured out of whole CLOTH. Very re
specially, }. b. CUsIcK.

: ONE BOY SLABS ANOTHER.
The Result May Prove Serious Ac-
cOrdIng TO the Doctors.

A stsbbing ARRAY occurred last evening
about 6 O'Clock, the principals being two
boys each about l6 years old.
lice Brennan and Sidney Bartlett had
some trouble on the street yesterday after
noon and met later and renewed the
quarrel, when the Brennan boy stabbed
Bartlett twice in the left side. There are
two gashes in the left side. one among
the lower RIBS and the other Just under
the left arm The knife used was a large
pocket knife and penetrated the lungs,
making an ugly wound.
Doctors Grimes and Wyman were called
in to attend the wounded boy, AID while
they consider the wounds bad ones, hope
that owing to the boys strong constltu-
ton they will not be fatal.
The boys give different stories In regard
to the trouble. Sidney Bartlett claims
he was out horseback riding when he met
Brennan who threw mud at HIM. He
jumped of the horse to whip him, when
Brennan drew a knife and cut him twice.
Then he got on his horse and rode home,
where his wounds were attended to.
Tice Brennan had been sent ont by his
father on an errand, and as he says, was
on Twenty-seventh street when he met
Bartlett, who jumped off his horse aud
commenced to kick him. Bartlett is the
larger and he drew his knife and cut at
him. He went home and told his father
he had had a fight with Bartlett, but said
nothing about stabbing him. Mr.. Bren-
nan knew nothing about the matter until
after the show when he met the police
who we're hunting for his son. The boy
was found in bed aud was locked uD in
the Jail.
Bartlett was pretty badly hurt and bled
profusely while on his way home, and
suffered a great deal of pain.

FLAT FAILURES.
A Couple of Road Agents VINO Were
S"idetracked

County Clerk Fredendall. while on a
vacation in 'S3, stopped over at Socorro,
New Mexico. At that time the Black
Range country was the scene of a mining
excitement and the stage road between
Socorro and the mining country was
worked by road agents quite frequently.
Bob InRersOll and a party of friends
were expected at the town to 20 out to
the mines, said Fredcndall, ia telling the
story, so a new stage coach was Put
on to carry them to the camp. Ingersoll,
however. did not reach the tow in time,
so the new coach made a trip without
him. Charlie McCoukeY. one of the
owners of the line. made the
trip with the driver. About ten
miles out from the second sta
ton. just as the stage was going down
into a gulch. a masked man stepped out
of the brush and yelled. Hold up your
handsl' and commenced firing. Nc.
Conkey reached for his rife, slipped in a
cartridge and killed enc of the robbers
and then relocating, shot the other.
Jumping down off the coach, he took
out his note book and wrote the following
notice and pinned it on the dead bodies:
"As road agents these fellows are not a
success"
The bodies were afterwards taken into
town and buried.
