WXrEs or AnVERTIuING.
THE SENATORIAL ATTITUDE.


mark:
The state Of Nevada made millionaires
OF its senators and the milliouaires bank
rupted the state of Nevada. These are
the men whom the Democratic LEADER
sets mp as models for Wyoming senators
TO initiate.
These remarks of the Sun are called
forth by the publication 10 this PAPER Of a
letter from Senator Stewart to the Salt
Lake Tribmei n which the senator from
Nevada gave the lie direct to Senators
Carey and Warren when they claimed
that they would have supported "A bill
providing for the free coinage Of Amen
can silver. The letter Of Senator Stewart
was severe but courteous. He said that
he had asked the support Of WyominE's
senators to his amendment providing for
the coinage of American silver and both
refused to give it to him. The publication
Of Stewart's statement brings out neither
denial nor argument. Ii does
bring out abuse which is a
method Of argument frequently
resorted to 5v our contemporary, even
though its employment tends to throw
suspicion on the cause advocated. If
Stewart was the possessor Of millions Of
money, which he is not, II wouldn't affect
the abstract right or wrong Of the silver
question one iota. What the people OF
Wyoming are most concerned in is no.
that Carey and Warren voted against the
Tree coinage Of silver (although that is a
consideration, but it is that while pre-
tending to the people here thai they were
10 favor Of the free coinage Of American
silver they were in reality opposed to it, as
Senator Stewards letter plainly showed.
We can respect the opinion Of a man
who honestly disagrees with US, but when
men play the good Lord and good devil
part at the expense Of their constituents
we can have nothing for them but con.
tempt mingled with profound distrust.

REAL ESTATE RECORDS As
THEY WILL BE

The frst state in the Union to adopt
the Australian system of balloting was
Massachusetts,. Il. promises to be the
pioneer in the adoption OF Torrens land
transfer system, also imported from Aus
eventually adopted in every state in this
country.
The Australian system of land transfer,
now in force also in some provinces of the
Dominion Of Canada, is admirable for its
simplicity aud certainty. We are all
familiar with the difficulties which still
attend, in all our states, the transfer of
real property, In a comparatively new
community, like this, where zeal estate
has passed through but a few hands since
the government gave tltle to it, these are
less severely felt, but in Massachusetts,
they are already becoming almost unbear-
able. The records Of title in a single
county fill hundreds of volumes. A man
who wishes to sell a lot or farm must
show a clear title; aud for this these
voluminous records must be searched, at
the cost of much time and money, with
the possibility always present that some
little flaw will be overlooked which may
cost the purchaser his interest. And the
trouble is cumulative. Each generation
adds to the records, until conveyanciuG
becomes almost as complicated and costly
as in England.
To remedy this there is already resort
to title insurance companies, which as
sumo the burden Of examination and the
responsibility for defects of title. By
paying to such a company its stipulated
fee, the purchaser or MORTGAGE is insured
against loss, Now, in the Torrens system
the state does this business, and becomes,
in effect, a gigantic title insurance com
pauy for all real estate within its borders.
When that system is adopted the pur-
chaser of real property applies to the
state for a guarantee. 1t searches title
and has all impertections remedied. 1t
then issues to the applicant a states GER
tiicate. From that date there Is no more
examination Of title. Real estate is trans
AtiAtu ~ NtlAluHdAG tAdCAly as TAllTOau
shares or other stocks. At each
transfer the former owner surrenders his
certificate Of title, and the state issues au-
other to the new holder. A small fee is
charged each time, which is sufficient not
only to cover the cost Of the transaction,
but also to provide an insurance fund out
OF which possible losses may be paid. For,
after the state has once issued a certificate
it becomes responsible for detects OF title.
The owner of property then holds it, in
effect, net on warrantee from the former
owner, but from the state. In Canada
the deeds run straight from the crown,
and the crown is behind every real estate
title regularly procured and properly reg.
gistered.
Nothing but the conservatism which
preserves old institutions lsng after their
usefulness is ended has kept the new
method of land transfer from general
adoption. Theoretically it is perfect.
The storm Of practical objections raised
against it at first has been Quoted by the
demonstration OF its success in Australia
and in Canada

In all thoroughly civilized countries
the members OF a family and their guests
partake OF meals while collected around
q central board, but this is not SO with
the majority or even a fraction of the
semi-civilized and barbarous nations.
The Mardivian islanders dine alone, re-
firing to the most secret parts of their
huts for the purpose Of eating their food.
This custom probably arose among them
in an early period of their history, for
fear, perhaps, that another with equally
as sharp an appetite and more bodily
strength would deprive the feaster OF
his meal.-St. Louis Republic.

He Who Laugh. Last Laughs Best.

One of the young women employed
IN tie BVreruunent printing afHca who
resides on Capitol Hill was near the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad recently
on her way to work when the wind got
beneath her umbrella and carried 1t
out of sight. In her efforts to capture
it her hat followed. There was a man
near her, and he just laughed until his
sides ached, and then walked along in
front of her to the Office, not once offer,
ing her shelter beneath his umbrella.
He laughed until he had almost reached
the office, and then a blast of wind
wrenched his umbrella out Of his hand
and his hat followed it. "And then 1
laughed" said the young woman in
telling the story.-Washington Star.

The Personal rronoun In conv.r.atio

The Personal Pronoun In Conversation.
The inordinate employment of the
possessive case is a vulgar solecism, and
not used to excess by those of gentle
breeding. There are both men and wo-
men who are forever talking about my
carriage" my house" etc, until they
disgust their hearers. One Is apt to i'm
agine that such persons are the possessors
OF newly acquired wealth and its appur-
tenances, when this small, two lettered
word slips from their lips with unseen
ing frequency.
The pronoun "T' should not be too
often repeated, as 1t gives too personal
and egotistic a turn to conversation, and
the frequent recurrence of 81 said so and
3d." and II did so and 3d. reveals a nat
ure weighed down with n sense of its
own importance, and caring little about
what other people are doing or thinking.

One of the intelligent dogs lives in Bar
Harbor, Me. He was carrying a paper
the other day when several canine COM
panions began to bother him. He put
the paper down IN the ground, and when
a dog attempted to touch it sprang on
him and gave him a good shaking. These
tactics he repeated several times, till at
last he could not get any dog to touch
the paper, and then he quickly picked it
up and walked away.-Kennebec Jour

The Tale of Rluebeard.

The tale of Bluebeard is familiar to
every child, but many have speculated
on the original of this bogey, nerclless
tyrant. Some say it was a satire on
Henry VIII, of wife killing notoriety.
DR.. G. Taylor thinks it is a type of the
castle lords in the days of knight Grant
ry. According, however, to a popular
belief. Charles Perrault, the French
author of this fascinating story, founded
it on the history of certain Giles de
Retz, lord of Laral, who during his
lifetime was known by the name of
"Barbe Bleu," or ''Bluebeard," on ac-
count of the peculiar blush black hue
of his beard. This lord had mania for
sorcery and magic, and was accused of
numbering six wives. He was ultimate
ly strangled and burned in 1440.-New

When my guests invited meet
All, kindest fate, that should grace
Such beauty as my lady's face;
And she will place me, soft caressed,
With lingering touch upon her breast.
Strange fingers plucked me yesternight,
Mid swiftly falling drops, dew bright
They said an unlimited guest,
Greeting my lady, bade her rest
She lay in fair and f1eecy white,
With smiling lips. Thro' pale moonlight
They measured steps, with sound supprest
And laid me softly on her breast,
And kissed her cheek so ivory white.

COULDN'T TAKE THEM.-That is
the truth about those two big east
ern advertising contracts that the
Statesman is squealing about not

medicine manufacturers come to
this city to place their yearly con-
tracts they ask the merchants where
to place their ads. to best advantage
to reach the people of this city and
valley, and they place them in THE

treated alike in THE JOURNAL. The
rates paid by the Dig eastern patent
medicine firms are invariably higher
than most local merchants would

or do make contracts for. But
this is the only exception. THE
JOURNAL is conducted on modern
