A RemarkabIe ''womah's Bank" Recalled
The notorious ''Woman's bank" one
of the most curious cases Of swindling
ever known in Boston, is recalled by the
death of Mrs. Sarah E. Howe, the pro
jector and manager Of the scheme. 1t
will be remembered that the plan of
Mrs. Howe's 'bank" was to receive de-
posts from women only-not less than
$500 nor over 81 ,000-on which interest
at 2 per cent. monthly was to be paid.
Indeed, interest for the first two months
was returned in advance to the "cus-
toner" on making a deposit. 1t was
represented to be a work of charity, the
impossible rate of interest being &C
Quaker fund.-" administered by Mrs.
Howe for the benefit of needy women.
Strange as it may appear, it was not
only the ignorant who were deceived by
this transparent nonsense, but persons
of education and experience the coun-
try over. Among the believers and de-
tenders Of Mrs. Howe was Miss Dodge,
the Gail Hamilton of literature; and
there were others of equal shrewdness
who swallowed the tale Of CHARITY"
Mrs. Howe might have gone on to this
day taking In the money of the credu-
lous to pay out as interest to others
equally credulous had not the news
papers pushed an investigation and made
q good story shout 1t.
Then the collapse came, and Mrs
Howe WAS sent to prison. She died, it Is
said, in want.-Boston Commonwealth

A SAD. SAD o

They say blessings brighten as they
take their fIght-that we never fully APP
p~reciate anything until we have lost it.
For years we have enjoyed the proud
privilege of living in the same town, OF
breathing the same air aud walking the
same streets as Col. E. A. Slack, editor
of the Sun. We have came into social
contact-he confesses it, but the honor
was ours. We have had the extreme
felicity of dining with him at the public
tables of the public restaurant. We have
thus been permitted the inestimable com
fort OF beholding our stuffed prophet at
close range-of admiring the rare and
racy play of his delicate fancy, the nImble-
ness and grace of his wit and the proper
tions OF his untrammeled and unmistak-
able appetite. We have been thus per-
mitted the ineffable comfort of luxuriat-
ing. so to speak, within close visual range of
radiant personality and feeling the glow his
and fervor of his high born resolves
while listening wrapt and awed to the
words of wisdom which fell from his lips.
True, our good fortune has not been singu-
lar in this respect. The meek and lowly
railroader, the opulent and fastidIous
stockuan. the tired and dusty wayfarer,
might, if they SO elected, sit at the same
table and drink in with their coffee the
exquisite flow of highbred and polished
discourse which came with s~rtesian clear
ness from the coral lips OF our erstwhile
friend the colonel. But woe is ours. We
have come to the parting of the roads.
Like an avenging Nemesis the naughty
colonel, with a thunder cloud on his brow,
sternly but sorrowfully points his finger to
the diverging highways and says: Hence
forth forevermore we must part. You
have assaulted the stock commission. IL
is a puS up job. You have made not
simply a bad break, but a stupendous
journalistic blunder. By this act you
have rent in twain our friendship and
henceforth we go alone our several ways"
Now this is sad. 1t is %sorrowful. 1t is
affecting to the very hearts core. To
think what we had once enjoyed and re-
feet that but for our W act it might
still be ours affects the very well springs
OF sorrow. Some day when business ID
less brisk we must-indeed we really must
take a day off and weep a few lines
over the subject. Nothing else will ever
assuage the cankering care. the deep
seated aud everlasting sorrow which is
now ours since Col. Slack-our es-
teemed morning contemporary-Edward
Archibald, the peerless and potential
has withdrawn from us, absolutely and
without reservation, an alleged friendship
in which self interest has never been con
~apicuous by its utter absence.

The CASE AS " STANDS.

This is no time for e~quivocatiou. II is
no time to twist and dodge or attempt to
SHIFT the issue. The stark naked propo-
stion is this: Has the board of live stock
commissioners ov~erstepped the law BY as
Stunning arbitrary powers which constitu.
ton and statute specifically withhold even
from courtsP There is nothing more to
this discussion. The Sun attempts to
cloud the question by Juggling 10 politics.
Two days ago we asserted that whenever
man was unable to meet a direct issue
he endeavored to change the Issue by
shifting it 10 new grounds of his "
making. If the live stock commission
has overstepped the bounds distinctly pre-
scribed by the law. If it has ~arrogated to
itself dictatorial powers and set itself up
as arbiter of the morals and BY summarily
seizing and holding property of the peo-
pie of Wyoming contrary to all rules OF
law and precedent, then it is no question
of politics in the narrow sense. but one of
grave moment and consequence to every
man, woman and child, but particularly
to every citizen and lover of his country
in Wyoming. The issue may become
obscured by politics, but it will
not be of our doing. Neither will we at
this time become embroiled in any such
discussion. The curse of Wyoming has
been its politics. Heretofore no party
paper dared to take up such an issue for
fear OF either being crushed in business
or having its real motives misunderstood.
The moment such an issue was sprung
the cry was instantly raised that sit was
politics." People rarely even took time
to take a square look at the issue. They
were impatient of it because they CON
cluded without investigation that it was
a matter of party eIpediency or an un-
derhsnded attempt to secure some party
advantage.
But IN the case now at issue it is differ
ent. The subject has appealed strongly
to the people. They know 1t Is now eight
months before any election is held. They
realize that if the movement is grounded
in falsehood or narrow party politics they
will have plenty Of time to find it out and
that If the motives are impure the reao-
ton will affect not them but this paper
and those who advocate the same views.
They know that some warm personal and
political friends have disagreed with US as
to the expediency Of this movement, bui
not being blinded BY the passions of . polit.
icsl campaign the people are disposed ts
Wow this matter coolly and calmly aud W,
venture to predict that it will not b,
within the power of any clique or factioI
to interfere with the olearness Of thei
vision nor the honesty of their perception

IT would perhaps be too much to ex-
pect the editor of the Sun to uplift his
voice against the dictation of the stock
COMMISSION or the stock contingent. He
has had one bitter experience. Once
upon a time he was called before the ex-
ecutive committee of the Wyoming stock
growers association. he had run counter
to the association by publishing some
thing which the ruling members
deemed inimlcal to their interests. In this
meeting what we might plainly call the
kibosh was put upon the colonel. Under
the guise of disinterested friendship he
was advised to repent and retrsct. There
was some squirming done. There natu-
rally would be, but the colonel pocketed
his pride aud finally sunk his American
manhood at the feet OF the stock oligar.

WE have received a number of COM
mandatory letters from various parts of
the state in regard to the course which
this paper has taken with reference to the
stock commission. They are written by
men Of both political parties and repre-
senting various lines of business. We are
grateful to one and all Of these gentlemen
for the sympathy which they extend and
for the words of encouragement which
they SO cordially express. They demon
strate fully and forcibly that the spirit of
Americanism is an active principle in
Wyoming, and to us there has been no
more gratifying circumstance.
