While there are grave and perhaps in
surmount,ble objections to the arid land
bill of Senator Warren. the feeling in the
matter ia generally directed against the
senator himself. He protests oyermuch.
His principal claims SO far put forth are
the benefits which he alleges will accrue
from the bill to the poor settler and the
small holder. The interests OF the cor
porations and the big holders have been
carefully overlooked, to Judge from his
story. and nobody's interests have been
completely guarded except those Of the
poor but honest settler. The people Of
Wyoming have had the qualified pleasure
OF listening to such stories from the sena-
tor on a variety subjects for the past
twenty years. They have frequently
pinned their faith Upon such stories aud
they rave been invariably humbugged to
a most remarkable degree. 1t is natural
therefore that they should at last become
suspicious. The only wonder is that
they had not become so long ere this.

schemes for his own direct benefit were
being engineered they have heard him
most loudly proclaim that he was slone

.About Bamk Statements.

Secretary of State Lesueur writes
us in reference to bank statements:
The law says the statement shall
be published in zone or more daily
newspapers published in the city or
county, where the bank is located, if
a daily paper is published, or in a
weekly paper if no daily paper is pub
lished in such place, ETC."
Capt. Lesueur gives as his opinion
that the law contemplates the publ
cation of the statement in newspa-
per published in town or place in
which the bank is located, the object
of such publication being to reach
the immediate customers of the
bank.
To which we add it is, of course,
unfair and unbusiness-like treatment
of its patrons for bank to have Its
statement published in paper that
has q circulation of about One-tenth
the number ofsubscribers of the paper
at the town or post-office at which
that banks patrons get their mail,
and do their banking business.
The banker who has the publica-
tion of his bank statement published
exclusively in paper not published
in the town where thebank is located,
is disregarding the intent and pur-
pose of the law, requiring such pub
ication, by deprivlng a large num-
ber of his banks customers of keep
ing posted on the financial condition
of the bank by publishing its fnan-
cial statement in a paper which many
of the banks patrons do not take
and wouldn't read, perhaps, if they
did.
To particularize, the Farmers bank
has its financial statement published
in the COURIER, which has a circula-
tion of 310 at Keytesville post-office,
while the Bank of Keytesvills has
6C1lG ITO AooO tWO 70
to the Salisbury Press-Spectator,
which has a circulation of about
thirty at Keytesville post-office.
The injustice thus done the pat
rons of the Bank of Keytesville is
seen at glance. Published in the
COURIER the statement would reach
ten of that bank customers to where
it reaches one when published in the
Press-Spectator.
Again we are constrained to Te-
mark that men are often little in
more ways than stature.
The Bank of Keytesville in attempt
ing to vent its spleen on the COURIER,
is at the same time guilty of disre-

The Brunswick News says: The
liar OF the Dubuque Qowa) Ledger
smashes all previous records and is
entitled to the worlds record on
snake stories. Here is the latest: A
farmer OF Marion county says he has
a snake which swallowed an eight
day clock in August, 1887. Until the
clock run down it struck regularly
and its ticking could be heard. A
short time ago the farmer found
some eggs which had been deposited
in hole by the reptile and on break
ing them open found that each con-
tanned an open face watch in first
class running order. He sold the
watches at big profit, and has now
given the snake post auger in the
hope that it will produce sufficient
cork screws to enable him to start a
wholesale drug store.
