4 GREAT EICTORH.

The glorious Democratic victory in
Cheyenne yesterday is of more than local
significance. 1t is a notification to the
party in the state that Cheyenne is po-
liucllly detachable ground and 10 the
people regardless of party it is a pleas
ing indication of long expected relief
from CALLING political thralldom. 1t will
serve as an entering point to the wedge
which in the hands OF the people will rend
asunder the Republican political machine
and place the peoples rig hts at all times
above party considerations.
The election of l. K. BresEahen-the
first Democratic mayor IN SIX Years-is a
handsome tribute TO one of the most
substantial business men in the city. At
this particular juncture Cheyenne stands
10 peculiar need Of an able, energetic and
experienced executive. Mr.. Bresnahen
fits into the situation like a peg in a hole.
He will give his public duties the same
careful attention which has made him
50 successful in his private affairs. The
people OF Cheyenne are to be congratulated
because of Mr.. Bresnahen's election at
this particular j~uncture when so much
public work is to be performed. There is
no man in the city better qualified to
undertake the dates and certainly none
to give them more painstaking attention.
In its brief but energetic campaign the
local Democratic party has covered itself
with glory. There was capable manage
meIt from top to bottom. Probably in
no campaign which has ever occurred in
this city has SO little money been spent or
more work lone out Of a pure desire for
the success of the ticket. a few such
campaigns would make the local party in-
yincible.

A novel idea has been presented to the
English trade to meet the competition
from manufacturers who have stores for
retailing their WI goods. 1t is pro-
posed to form n company with a capital
stock Of $1O0. 900. This company will
pay cash for the goods, which will be re-
sold to shareholders at invoice prices,
plus a charge of o per cent. to v ex-
penses. The object of the company is
that the shareholders. who are retailers,
will be able to buy all classes of goods
at the lowest wholesale prices for cash,
without reference TO the quantity bought.
By this plan of cooperative buying it
is figured that a great saving can be
mace over the regular way of buying in
small lots by retailers, who lose the
trade discounts and other items which
it is estimated make n total of about Is
per cent. The multiple shop competi-
ton is said to be bearing heavily on the
small retailers. and some plan of this
kind is necessary if they are not to be
crowded out. The idea is an excellent
one, but whether it can be made a prac-
teal success or not remains to be seen.

At the December meeting of the exec
utive committee of the Massachusetts
w. S. A, the state organizer, Mrs. L. A
Hit, of Natick, reported that during
November she had visited Waltham,
Hudson, Marlboro, Springfield, Worces-
ter, Westboro'. Southboro', Fall River,
New Bedford, Brockton, Campello,
Needham and Fitchburg. &ost of the
leagues hold regular meetings.
She had succeeded in establishing To-
cal committees at Southboro', South
bridge, Spencer, Oxford and South
birmingham, where there are no
leagues; had distributed 1900 pages of
literature, and had received encourag-
ing letters from Aver, Andover, North

Mrs. Amelia E. Barr, who now divides
her talents between The New York
Ledger and The Century, is said to make
more money than does the chief Justice
of the United States. She is the daugh-
ter of n Church Of England clergyman,
and grew up and married across the sea.
Upon first coming to America the fami-
ly settled in Texas. There yellow fever
carried off the husband and sons. Mrs.
Barr came north and got a place as
teacher. One day at n dinner party n
man beside her said, IF you could write
as you talk you might make a living by
it." The result was a short story in The
Christian Union. The Texas experience
furnished the local color for Remember
the Alamo" which, however. is far from
being Mrs. Barr's best book. Indeed
the story is so burdened with history
that it drags throughout, and in spots is
distinctly tiresome. However, it sells,
and the juggling of the guinea helps all
hurt that art may feel.-New York Let

Ihe Census and city Populations
The population of the United States
has Increased between 1880 and 1890
from 80 100000 to 81, 900, 600, or about
20 per cent. Deducting the urban popu-
lation, the increase of rural population
is found to be only 8 per cent, while the
increase of the urban population is more
than 81 per cent. This classification Of
urban population includes only cities Of
5000 inhabitants and upward. If the
classification should embrace cities of
1000 inhabitants and upward it would
undoubtedly appear that the rural popu-
lation had decreased during the decade,
while the total increase would be in the
cities. This general result has been
brought about Notwithstanding the i'm
mense increase in population in the rural
districts in extreme western states, such
as the DakOtas, Minnesota, Nebraska,
Kansas, Arkansas and Texas.
The following table shows the increase
of the total population of several states
and the increase of the city population:

Spoiled by Luxury.

Luxury and ease never bring out the
highest qualities In a mans character;
work and hardship are required for his
best development. William II. Seward,
II is said, once ran away from college In
fit of anger at his father, and went TO
teach schoolin a asouthern state. After
some months Seward thought better Of
his college, was reconciled 10 his father,
and returned TO his studies. A class
mate, one Of the most brilliant men In
the college, took charge Of the southern
school. Years after Seward met this
slass-mate, who had married rich
southern lady, had settled down on a
large plantation, and had grown fat
and lazy, doing nothing in the way Of
study, and turning out very common
place man, without ambition or intel
lectual power. A fine scholar had been
spoiled by a life Of luxury. Mr.. Seward
congratulated himself on his own escape
from such an ignoble fate. "Had /
married rich plantation, he used to
say, 81 might have been satisfied with
life of easy Incidence. Youths Com

your sons and daughters will take upon
themselves the vows Of the Christian,
and from this place you will
carry out, some Of you your
precious dead? Between this bsp-

money you have given to this church to-
day will be, l hope, the best financial
investment you have ever made Your
worldly investments may depend upon

honesty Of business associates; but the
money you have given TO the house Of
