81 Jackson Hole we're seized With this

CT jackson Hole we're seized with this
spasm of regard for the Wyoming game
laws; for the information of the bewildered
ones it may be stated that If the Indians,
II pursuance of a treaty right, guaranteed
by the United States, kill game In the Jack
son Hole country without any regard for
the game laws of Wyoming. then there will
necessarily be smaller amount of game
to be shot at by the tourists whose desire
to slaughter something affords a large per-
centage of the Jackson Hole people oppor-
tunity to earn money. The extreme readi-
ness Of the settlers to compel obedience to
the state statute, even to the extent of
Furnishing offenders with death, must
therefore be ascribed to selfish motives,
and 1t was these same motives which i'm
PEELED them to get up an Indian scare
which would be sufficiently threatening to
bring about the presence of profitable SOL
diery. Seif-respecting and state-respecting
people from Wyoming and Idaho are not
likely to voluntarily make reference to the
so-called ''Bannack outbreak Of 1895"

When the estimates of the District Com

When the estimates Of the District Com
Mfssioners are next submitted to Congress
they should contain request for a consid-
cradle increase in the number of policemen
employed to uphold law and maintain order
within the District Of Columbia. It is true
that for some years past there has been
considerable addition to the force. but the
increases have all been insufficient to give
to the national capital such q numerically
strong body of men as the city needs for
its protection. There Is really no room for
argument as to such a necessity; every
reader of The Star must see how burglars
thrive and sneak-thieves prosper because
the chief Of police has not a sufficient num-
Der OF men to properly patrol this rapidly
expanding community. The burglary at
lexington early yesterday morning Is
merely a single case in point, and, blythe
way. it Is the third burglary that has &C.
CURED on those same premises within three
months. Details of policemen for special
work-much of it of a purely federal sort
has seriously weakened the general effec-
tiveness of the force: there is therefore,
one of the best Of reasons for urging upon
Congress to permit the employment Of at
least one hundred additional patrol,nen. 1t
will perhaps be held that to ask for SO
much of an increase will be useless. Be
tt at as 1t may no one will dispute for ono
moment the accuracy Of the statement tfat
at least one hundred men are actually
needed. II Congress does not grant the re-
quest, then the responsibility is with Con-
gress If the Commissioners do not ask for
sufficient increase. then the RESPONSE
biiity will have to be borne by the Commits
sioners.

simultaneously with the arrival of United
States troops at Jackson's Hole, discovery
IS made Of the almost entire absence from
that region of the large bodies of armed In
dans of whose fictitious proximity SO much
has been said by white Inhabitants of the
country between Market Lake and the Vel
lowstone Park. There Is nothing surpris-
ing in the announcement that the troops
cannot find any Indians: 1t would be very
extraordinary If they did, for it is safe to
allege that at no time within the past two
or three years was there ever in that neigh
borhcod one-tenth the number of Bannacks
who were said to be there, armed and en-
trerched, awaiting the arrival of either

A central bureau where unemployed me-
chanscs and aaborers may register and
where those who desire to employ labor
may seek and find definite information is
one of those things to the establishment of
which the Washington wage-eatner may
well apply himself. After fashion, some
Of the trades have endeavored to do some
thing like this solely for themselves. but
until recently there has not been any prop
osition to concentrate. The plan is an ex-
cellent one and there should be no serious
difficulty In putting 1t into operation. 1t
has furthermore been suggested that in con-
nection with the employment bureau there
should be a reading-room and. II 1t be pos
sibie, such wholesome amusements as would
be appreciated by those men who at present
hardly know where to spend their evenings
unless they resort to liquor saloons. The
proposition, either in detail or as a whole, is
In the interest of better condition of af-
fairs and deserves, therefore. the active
support of anyone and everyone. There will
result from this combination of employment
agency and readng-room direct benefit for
many and indirect betterment for great
many more. As things now are, people who
want to employ mechanics frequently find
it extremely difficult to secure the assist
ance for which they are ready to pay the
maximum rate Of wages, not because there
are no unemployed mechanics Of the variety
they seek but because there is no bureau or
headquarters office where the wouid-be en-
ployer and the want-to-be employed can
meet and make mutually satisfactory ar
rangements. AS the advocate Of the local
free circulating library which Is bound to
come, The Star naturally approves the
proposition Of a reading-room attachment
to the labor bureau.

has taken or win take to let the Chinese

What Ex-senator Butler Saws.

Ex-senator NJ. c. Butler, of South
Carolina, when asked if there was
much excitement over the decisions
of United States Judge Gotta and Simon
ton i'll the registration and dispensary
laws, replied:
No, not that l know of. When l
left, people were in a quiescent state.
| discovered no signs of revolution or
war, except with Governor Evans and
a few of his coterie. He seems to be
i'll chronic state of eruption"
In respect to the suggestion that
the legislature and state officials in
their construction of the registration
laws had in view the permanent dis
reimbursement of the negroes in order
to prevent negro supremacy Senator
Butler said:
There was no danger whatever of
that condition arising They are sat
ishec from their experience in the re-
construction period that they are not
yet prepared TO take charge of the
government. But they do want the
opportunity of voting for white men
in whom they have confidence, and
those men are among the conserva-
tives. 1t is not the negro supremacy
that worries these gentlemen so much
as it is the ring supremacy
