Women have a great many ways Of
posing" the impossible, but one of the
things that is denied to most Of them Is
to make a home trimmed hat that will
look like the work OF a milliner. They
understand just how it ought to look.
but when they come to work out their
understanding through their fingers
the fingers show their lack Of education
and fail to give those deft airy touches
that lend the proper air Of distinction to
headgear.
A shrewd milliner in New York has
put forward the first bit Of real helpful
ness to women who must do their own
hat trimming, but are nevertheless not
DESTROYS of having that fact proclaimed
to the world. In his showcases he has
for sale knots Of ribbons and velyets OF
all hues made up with the very newest
twirl and twist, securely stitched and
ready to be fastened on the hat or bon
net. Some of them r designed for the
only decoration, and some need feathers
or other ornaments to complete them

The Sun has aligned itself on the side
of the stock commission. Its p~resenta-
tiou of its case is characteristic. As one
sees through a glass darkly so sees the

issue, but instead it seeks to b~eclound
what is the plain and unequivocal point
of contention. 1t attacks innocent men
by the cowardly methods of a common
bully. 1t bellows and fumes and fuses
through columns of slipshod and hating
rhetoric aud while carefully svoiding the
vital issue endeavors by implication, slur
and %insinuatiou to appeal to prejudice,
partisanship and false premises. But IN
this particular instance 1t will have Its
trouble for its pains. These methods nave
outlived their usefulness. They are

A portrait of Dolly" Madison, mis-
tress OF the White House when the
British invaded Washington in the war
of 1s12-l4, is attracting attention at the
national capital. The likeness was OBJ
tanned by copying Gilbert Stusrt's pio-
ture of Mrs. Madison in the Corcoran Art
gallery, and adding to this, which merely
includes the face and bust, a figure.
For costume the artist, E. F. Andrews,
has relied On a yellow satin overskirt
and embroidered white petticoat known
to have been worn at one of Mrs. Madi-
sons receptions by another lady of that
day. The picture represents the be-

1T WILL NOT WIN.

The fight between The CHEYENNE
LEADER and the state stock commission
has been watched with q great deal of
interest BY the Boomerang and a large
number of our citizens. From all that
can be seen THE LEADER, although bold
has said concerning the live stock commits
sion. 1t has treated it as any other or
ganization would be treated which AFRO
gated to itself the greatest possible
authority of the state and persisted in
exercising that power.
Still, people were not especially out
spoken against the organization as q re-
suit of the attacks of THE LEADER until
certain members of the commission estab-
lished a boycott upon THE LEADER and
are now engaged in trying to destroy the
business of that paper and crush it out of
existence. THE LEADER is the Oldest
established and one OF the most ably con
Quoted papers in the state of Wyoming.
Since the affair has taken its present
shape it seems that it would be cowardice
In the press OF the state not to call atten-
ton to the desperate methods OF the
commission to throttle the utterances of
the public press. Members of the stock
commission have withdrawn all business
from THE LEADER with the statement
that it would not be restored until the
attacks on the commission ceased.
When anv organization manlfests such
an intolerant spirit and such a bullying
attitude it is time that the entire methods
of the organization were laid before the
public, and the action Of THE CHEYENNE
LEADER at the present time is deserving
Of praise. The Boomer ang does not IN
tend to enter into any complete analysis
Their than to entirely disapprove Of the
measures which the commission is adopt
ing to coerce TaE LEADER into silence
concerning the methods OF the commits
sion. They will find. too, that the people
will not stand it. If they are at present
in possession OF undue authority the leg
~islature should see that it is modified.
We wish to have it distinctly under
stood that we are now making no strict
uTeS pu tn6 mduntf 10 WHICH tue live
stock commission has conducted its official
business.
We are not possessed Of a sufficient
knowledge oil the facts at present to JUS
tify this. There can be no excuse, how
ever. for the cowardly attack which is
being made on THE LEADER. and the
persons who are engaged in it are pursu-
ing a particularly childish course and TAX
ing an entirely indefensible position.
The brutal spirit OF the old Wyoming
stock growers association is not being
improved upon by its successor, the live
stock commission. if they are Judged by
their action toward The LEADER. The
commission is now the only organization
IN the state 10 which life is given by leg.

or Canadian Pacific steamers. Since the

they should, aud some day they may travel
in the opposite direction. Smallpox has

Another omission in the bill is a provision
empowering the President to call an inter-
national sanitary congress to take into spe-
cifc consideration the subject OF quarantine.
In well-informed circles the opinion is gain
ing ground that our present system Of quar-
anime is based on an erroneous principle;
that instead of barricading seaport against
distant disease the disease should be at
tackled where it prevails and besieged there.

THE BALANCE OF POWER.

The letter purporting TO come from II. L.
Taubeneck, chairman OF the Peoples party
central committee for Kansas, will be read
with some misgivings by several aspirants
for the Senate. In this letter the Peoples
party is urged not to act with either of the
other parties in the election of United States
Senators. As there are four States In tie
Legislature of which the Peoples party
may hold the balance of power. the action
urged by Mr.. Taubeneck will, if adopted,
make the election of Senators in these
States somewhat difficult. 1t is possible
that Montana may elect q Democratic Sem
ator by straight Democratic votes, but in
California the nine P9pulisiS, in sense,
hold the balance of power. But good deal
depends upon the arrangements between
parties which resulted in the election of
these nine POI ulists. In several eases 1t is
known that tho Populists Endorsed Demo-
cratic candidates. There are, in fact hut
two straight Popnlsis elected. There are
three whose election vas the result of
fusion, one Non-Partisan and one Indepen-
dent. As the Democrats have IS straight
votes in the Legislature, the three Demo
Gratis who were Endorsed by the Populists
will. if they vote with their original party,
enable the Democrats to elect their candi-
date. The PopuliSt leaders have a moral
right to require members elected as Popu-
lists to refuse to vote for Senator repre-
senting either OF the old parties, but in
cases here the Populists Endorsed Demo-
Gratis they will find some difficulty in estab-
fishing their right Of control.

A latter OF MOMENT.

Mr.. J. j. Dwyer has made, through the
ErGmiBer, some very sensible suggestions
IN regard TO amendments to the new ballot
law. Mt Dryer indorses the law In prin-
cipe. but is not quite satisfied with the
provision that groups the several candidates
together under the heading Of the Office for
which they have been placed in nomination.
Il better way, he thinks, would be to print
lists Of party nominations in separate col
umns. The present arrangement would do
for small communities where there are but
few Offices to I'LL, but not for large cities.
The principal reason given for change is
that under the present arrang cement quite a
large proportion Of the ele ctors do not vote
for candidates for all the offices TO be filed.
Mr. Dwyer instances the fact that about
1000 electors voted the national ticket but
failed to vote even for the first Office on the
municipal ticket as an illustration of his
theory. The illustration, however, seems to
Us to 90 against his theory. IL any elector
voted for presidential electors and did not
vote for candidate for Mayor, il was be-
cause he had &c choice between such candi-
dates. Four crosses dispose of the national
ticket, and the marking Of them certainly
would not exhaust tie patience of voter.
In fact, a great many voters took more
trouble under the old law in preparing their
ticket than would be required to stamp
candidate for every Office under the new law
The fact Mr. Dwyer refers to is evidently
the result Of a change in the principle OF
voting under the new law. Formerly a
failure on the part OF voter to cross out a
name on his ticket was vote for that can
dldate. Negative action counted as posi-
tive action. The careless voter who voted
a straight ticket TO save trouble put himself
on record as indorsing the entire list of can
didates. Il is a question If such result is
desirable. The full vote for all candidates
does not prove that the voter has approved
each one, but may be held 10 prove that he
approved of al least one and voted for others
in a spirit of Indifference. Under the new
law an elector votes only for candidate he
designates as bis choice. ALI electors may
not designate names for the entire list of
offices. but those they do designate may be
considered their choice among all offered.
The new law needs amendment 10 insure
more rapid and more reliable counting, but
amendments striking at The principle should
be carefully considered.

A NATIONAL QUARANTINE.

The first fruits OF the conflict of jurisdic-
ton between Federal and State authority
over quarantine are presented by the bill
which Raynor of Maryland has introduced
into Congress 10 establish national board
OF health as a bureau OF the Interior De-
partment. the members of the board to be
commissioner of quarantine, a commits
sioner Of sanitatIon..a commissioner of vital
statistics. the surgeon-general of the army,
the surgeon-general of the navy, the chief
Of the Marine Hospital and a representative
OF the Department OF Justice. This COM
mission is empowered TO make rules under
which vessels from foreign ports can be adj.
nsitted to American ports, violation of the
rules to Involve heavy fine. 1t would
seem that if the bill becomes law the
Quarantine Commission would be empow-
cred to suspend all intercourse with an in-
fected port for given time or till further
notice, and this without regard to State
regulations governing the maritime trade Of
American ports.
No actual collision took place last sum-
mer, but il the Governor of New York had
not been a man of firmness and sagacily,
the doctrine put forth by the people OF
Isiip might have been backed by the
whole force OF the State, and cholera might
nave D5SH lniOluctu INTO Tue CHIEF metro
politan city through jealousy of Federal
usurpation. How the executives of other
States felt on the subject the public have
no means of knowing; but 1t Is easy 20 con-
eeive situation in which a crotchety Gov
ernor might give great deal of trouble
Even If all the Governs rs we're wise and
considerable, honest differences of opinion
might occur among them on the best way of
enforcing quarantine. and while they
were arguing cholera might get into the
country. Its best. on all accounts, that the
subject should be controlled by a single
body, clothed with power enough to over
ride State authority.
The bill. as drawn. is open to objection in
that IL does not provide for subordin ate SUBJ
commissions 20 act In places remote from

through wbic cholera may come into the
