A LETTER FROM MONDELL

letter from Congressman Mondell;

lowing suggestions if you have not al

may be pertinent. The presiden, pocket
vetoed in the last hours of III" Fifty
fourth congress, the sundry civil nppro-
priation bill and the Indian appropria-
ton bill. The general deficiency bill
failed in conference. These bills CON
tanned a number of items Of interest to
Wyoming people. which had been secur-
ed by the action OF our representatives..
The deficiency bill contained an item of
$7.545.S2 for Messrs. Gilmore & Loback
Of Cheyenne. and an item OF s279.6l in
favor OF Meyer & Stable OF Cheyenne.
for surveys. The sundry bill contained
an appropriation Of 500. 900 for the
Cheyenne public building, and an ap-
preparation Of $1O,O 900 for n military
road from Fort Washakic into jack
cons Hole. The Indian appropriation
bill carried a provision donating to the
state OF Wyoming the Big Horn hot
springs and opening to settlement 10
miles square adjacent thereto, and un
appropriation OF $4,000 for the new
bridge across Wind river.
OF course the defeat Of these measures
Ia only temporary. as the incoming on
gress will re-enac the measures as they
passed before. They will probably do
this Immediately on r~econvening.
There need be nc fear entertained but
that these provisions VIII go through
as the work required to secure he ap-
preparations has already beer done and
the bills will probably pass in the spe-
cial session without any opposition.
Yours truly. F. W. MONDELL.

Hon. Hannis Taylor, Elk Minis
ter of the United States to Spain,
contributes an exhaustive review of
the Cuban situation in a paper in
the current number of the North
American Review. In this paper
Mr.. Taylor awells urcn the mis-
nanag enoent of Cuban affairs and
the incompetency of the Spanish
government to deal with the situa-
ton and concludes by expressing
the convection that relief can only
be expected through the interven-
ton of the United States govern
ment. Mr.. Taylor has set forth
some facts in connection with the
internal management Of affairs on
the part of the Spanish government
which has aroused the ire of some
of the leading statesmen, and the
result is that the Madrid officials
are leaving their claw marks,
6guratively speaking, all over his
person. The statements contained
in Mr.. Taylor's contribution will
doubtless furnish the ground for
some very interesting debates in
the forthcoming session of Con
gress. Baton Rouge Advocate.

YAMWYcK's sTRAIGHT-TAL
Pon1ises Of Good Government
by Democrats Only.

Judge Robert "A. Van Wyck
y slayor-elect Of greater New York,
n an Interview said:
The election is over. The poll.
are closed. The ballots are
counted; the Democracy has been
3 victorious, and am, learn. by
popular choice, the mayor-to-be OF
the city of Greater New York. AT
the outset want to call the gen
eral eye again to the Democratic
platform and to my letter of accept
ance. By these / stand. The
principles therein set forth will do
my utmost to foster, the promises
to the last letter will keep.
f.As we begin this first year of
Greater New York there is much to
do. Liberty must be restored to
the citizen, the protection of his
rights must be resumed, the pillage
of the public must cease, extrava-
gance must be discountenauced,
waste must stop, schools must be
built, the streets must be reclaimed
from chaos, taxes brought to proper
level. Private interest has too long
governed this city; it must give way
to public good.
'tThe government of city, as
understand it, has naught of senti-
ment about it. 1t is the merest |
business. We must get the most
good for the least money. No
man must be oppressed, his liberty
must be inviolate,. his life and
property must be protected, the
broad purposes of city government
must be carried out, the greatest
good to the greatest number must
ever be the star to steer by.
t*All the officers of the city,
whether they be mayor, judges,
police or what you will. must serve
the city, not rule it," The people
must rule, the officials must execute
the peoples orders. To make the
business of city government a
triumph to the citizen it is further j
needed that every officer, however
high or however low, must be honest
and fit. He must know his duties;
he must bring probity and faith and
honor forward to their discharge. i
We are overtaxed. This must be ,
looked to and the taxes trimmed
down. Whenever every city need
is met, of the comforts and luxuries t
We will get wha: we can. II
''There is nothing in the line of
Improvement that can make this }
city better to live in that the people
are not entitled to and do not want.
The New York public is not
niggardly, not parsimonious. 1t :
wants every benefit, every ad- /,
and is willing to pay for

and general benefits as dollar gas I
have, in my letter Of acceptance, as
well as in the platform, been pledged
from the first Those pledges are
not to be forgottenj those promises
are to be carried out.
Gas to such public outrages as
fourished under the Raines law,
with all the spying and sneaking
and mendacity that under it grew
up, cannot add syllable to what
have already said. These crimes
against the people must disappear;
these ENDORSEMENTS upon in
dividual liberty and private rights
must end. These are not the
middle ages, nor is the City of
Greater New York Venice in the
days of the doges. A city must
