Utley attended. After the war he at
tended and graduated from the Ft.
Edward, On " Institute, and received
the degree of A. NJ. from Middlebury,
(Vt.) College. During his residence
in New York state he was for eighteen
years member of the Troy Annual
Conference of the Methodist church.
He was also a practical school teacher,
and at the present time takes u more
than ordinary interest in educational
affairs.
During his several years residence
in Kansas he has been engaged in
farming, teaching and editing. He is
at present the able editor of the Good
land REPUBLIC, one of our leading re-
form journals. He was mt one time
elected representative of Cheyenne
county but was counted out.
Up to one year ago Mr.. Stewart was
staunch republican, and has held the
position Of chairman of the republican
central committee, both in Cheyenne
and Sherman counties. During visit
at Washington and the east his eyes
opened to the fact that something was
woefully wrong with the g, o. p, and
that he could not conscientiously in
dorse their acts any longer. After
some delberation and investigation he
resolved to cast his lot with the peo-
ple's party, being satisfied that the
platform and principles advocated by
it are more in accordance with his
ideas of right and justice. Since then
he has been and is now recognized MS
one of the most earnest and faithful
workers in the great cause of reform.
Should our party be fortunate enough
to choose Mr.. Stewart as their candi.
date for superintendent of public in
struction Of the great state of Kansas
he will be elected on November 8; and
any man who votes for him will never
have to apologize for it--Pleasantor

The position of the United States
government IN the cattle difficulties in
Wyoming is peculiar at least, 1t is
not our purpose at this time to go in
to the causes of the trouble between
the cattle syndicates and the ranchers,
but only to review the action of the
federal authorities in that controversy,
The cattle syndicates imported lot
of Pinkerton thugs, and organized an
expedition for the avowed purpose of
discriminating the small cattlemon.
Neither the government of Wyoming
nor the federal authorities took any
hand in the difficulty until it became
evident that the murderous expedition
was going to get the worst of it, Then
all at once the authorities at Washing
ton telegraphed General Brooks to
protect the murderors at all hazards.
Had the tables been turned and the So
called rustlers been surrounded by
their enemies, does anyone believe
that the United States government
would have orderel its soldiers to in
terfere to prevent these murderous
wretches from carrying out Their
uyowed purpose9
The cat is out of the bag, 1t is
stated On good authority that several
members of the cabinet are largely in
tbrested in these syndicate cattle com.
panies, and that they had full kuowl-
edge of the object and aim of tho ex-
petition, and that it is their deliberate
purpose now to shield the murderer'
from the law. The prisoners will bC
taken to Cheyenne, where they will sc
through the farce of u trial before {
jury packed in the interest of thu
cattle syndicates, and then turned

POPULAR TALKS on LAW.
When Is a Contract BY Correspond
ence Complete.

ence Complete.
As first requisite to the forming OF
ayalid contract, there must be meet
ing of minds of the parties thereto
An offer can he revoked before its ac-
ceptanre. but after the acceptance the
offer becomes a promise. The time OF
acceptance of the offer Is the moment
of the meeting of minds. 1t is not u
difficult thing to determine this mo-
ment in the case Of contracts made
in the presence of both parties, but
the question becomes difficult and very
important when the offer and accept
ance are made by letter, telegram, mes
senger, or otherwise. At what moment
is the contract cOnsummatedP Is it
the moment of the posting OF the
answer, or the receipt Of sameP Is it
the moment the message is started on
its way or the moment it reaches and
is thus communicated to the OiTercr.
In general Il communication of an ac-
ceptance is necessary to forming OF
the contract. Is this essential requisite
complied with when the party to whom
the offer is made does all he can Go to
deliver his acceptance (whetherit ever
reaches its destination or mott or must
the exceptance have reached its des-
tination before it can have the effect
Of binding the partiesP
It's now decided that the acceptance
is made when the acceptor has done
all that he can to communicate his
intention. The moment then OF des-
patch of acceptance is the moment the
contract has its beginning and cnce
having despatched the acceptance it is
irrevocable. 1t is understood that one
making an offer by letter is making
that offer continuously during every
instance of the time the letter is travel
ing, so that if the letter is delayed in
transit, and on its receipt letter is at
once posted accepting the offer, the
contract is complete, even though IN
the mean time the party Offering may
have sold the goods which were the
basis Of the offer Suppose the letter
of acceptance may be lost and does not
reach the party Offering. Is there Il
contract The logical result of the
position that the contract is made when
the acceptance is posted leads us to
infer that the question demads an ailir-
native answer, and such is the law.
This is so on the theory that the post
office is the agent Of the person who
makes an offer by post, and the delivery
Of the letter to the post is the delivery
to the agent of the person making the
offer.
Suppose that a letter revoking the
proposal is mailed before the accept
ance is mailed, this does not affect the
result unless the revocation is received
before the acceptance is mailed. One
in making a proposal may state it as Il
condition to the making of the contract
that the notice of acceptance be re-
ceived in order to be binding. Many
other interesting and important con
ditions arise, treatment OF which We
postpone until our next.
