A more despIcable piece Of work than
the Justification Of the records by Chief
Clerk Bartlett, in order to get the appor-
tionment bill through, has never been IN
earthed in a Wyoming legislature. OF
course Bartlett vas not the only one in
the deal IL is absolutely certain that it
was known to some members of the Lara
mie county delegation and it was the iudR-
ment Of those who watched the course OF
events that Speaker Kellogg for a while at
least gave the fraud his -cOuntenance. But
back OF all these was some other power.
It was figured out before the night was
over that the extreme anxiety
coupled with the willingness to
commit a fraud u secure the passage
OF the bill was owing t. the fact
that a United States senator is to be
elected by the next legislature, Weston
county. DOW entitled to three representa-
tives IN conjunction with Crook. would.
under the provisions Of this bill. get
three alone. These, so the calculation
ran, would be safe for Warren. Laramie
county, now entitled to nine, would then
get eleven representatives. Money was
the turning point before and it might be
again. If thirteen votes tior there is one
holdover Democratic senator from this
county could be secured in these two sec.
tons it would be n nice little nest egg
from which to hatch a United States
senator. These considerations led to the
question of who was Warren accredited
representative here The finger OF fate
pointed %uBerringly toward Judge
Van Devantsr, the attorney for
the Union Pacific, who has been one of
Governor Barber's close advisers. Far
be II from us to insinuate that Judge Van
Devanter suggested such a devious way
Of the difficulty. Those who know
the Judge are aware that his forte Is not
in working up political or other schemes
but It'll, strange to relate, the finger Of
fate persisted in pointing toward the gov
0rnor's Office in which Van Devanter and
his cotcrie sat.

was a Iarty to the o her fraud and it was
against him personally that most of the
execratious we're pointedly directed.
In this same connection we may say
that evidences of other frauds are rapidly
accumularing aud we will take occasion to
give them an airing at an early date
Close scrutiny has caused the stately
figure of Governor Barber to dwindle INTO
small proportions. Every delegation is
aroused against him, and some Of the
most thorouGhgolnE Republican senators
and representatives positively decline to
speak to him as they pass by. This will
be a revelation to those who were not
present during the closing hours Of the
session. The cause of It all is hat he
broke faith with his bnst friends. For To-
stance. he asked Senator John McGill, Of
Albany county, to name three trustees OF
the university from Albany county. MIR.
McGill, in response to requests from Lar
annie it is understood, named Matthew
Dawson, DR.. j. IL. Finfrock and w.

were backed ty all of the Albany county
men. Not one Of them was appointed.

GENTLY indicates that Mr.. Clark is not a

DO YOU TREAT 2

TILE BATHERs' LAsT DIP.


The remarkable number Of warm days
during September nowhere produced a
more curious result than in the prolonged
activity at Coney Island.
Coney Island had been c7nsid-
ering itself ill-treated by the weather.
July and August were entirely too
cool for trade Very warm days were the
exception, and everybody at Coney Island
who is interested in crowds-and who is
not down theres-became positively
morose by the time Sept. l arrived
But September, instead of the few spas
modic hot days early in the month which
New Workers learn to look for, has kept I'D
a peculiarly summary temperature None
of the weather experts, public or private,
has any record of such a September. 1t is
beyond all orthodox precedent. Up to
within few days of the end Of tine month
the sultryness continued. These conditions
greatly discomforted people who had hur-
ried home from the mountains, bot they
have delighted Coney Island. The CJney
Island people, who were, as you might say,
S anding with the closing shutters in their
hands, paused in astonishment put away
the shutters, brushed up things again, and
have actually been doing SO much more
business during September than anybody
