A BETTER RING.

The wool market has a better ring
this spring than for several years,
Commission men are Offering an ad-
vance to Wyoming wool growers of sew
en- cents-two cents better than the best
offer one year ago. Representatives from
different eastern houses are now in Cas-
per securing consignments at least one
month in advance of the shearing sea-
son. This advance and activity means
great things for Casper. It means that
many times $4,000 more wool money
will be circulated through Casper bust,
ness circles this spring than one or two
years ago. 1t means that the sheep men
will spend more money for goods, .tha,
they will pay better wages t o their herd
ers: that many OF them will buy or
build houses in Casper, who have for
economy's sake. during Cleveland's idi-
otto administration. led nomandic lives.
1t means that new enthusiasm will be
crowded into every line Of industry and
that Casper will rouse itself from its
lethargic condition. and who is there
who will mol welcome his change with a
halo Of joy.

THAT PRINTING BILL.

Editor Smith. of the Rock Springs

Fourth Legislature because il passed a
bill cutting down the legal rae Of print-
ing. The facts are as follows: Senator
Cady had. with more yea thar judge
ment, introduced a bill i'll the senate
cutting the legal rate of printing to %
cents per square, II the enatorS from
the north were red hot for its passage.

held up by the papers OF that region.
RealtZing that some compromise was
necessary TO save the papers of the state
from unjust discrimination, newspaper
men representing every daily in the
state, as well as five weeklies, got to-
gether and drafted a bill which they
considered just and presented it TO the

that 1t was that or nothing. they sur

1t is to be sincerely hoped that there
will be no more monkeying with print

sad commentary on the power OF the
press when it stands in danger of inva,

same press. There is no occupation on
earth more useful, noble and elevating
to mankind, or more devoted to the up

first on one foot, then on the other,
while he delicately tunes his Tyre, so to
speak, and waits for the piano man to
get up steam, and then gracefully
sways back and forth as he tortures his
unfortunate instrument into emitting
shrieks Of agony, but his opportunities
are limited, and unless he breaks a
string, thus gaining chance to show
what variety of squeaks he can COM
pei the others to utter, he is at dis
count. Even the cornet man is better
off than he, for the professional whose
interest and pleasure it Is to stuff wind
into an e fiat cornet is able to distort
his face, roll up his forehead into laps
and assume an expression of intense
agony that never fails to excite the
sympathy of all beholders. His rival
in this form Of spectacular entertain
ment Is the man with the big horn, who
makes faces, not from choice, but of
necessity; for the labor of filling so
enormous n receptacle with air and
keeping 1t full is so great as to draw
drops Of perspiration from even the
baldest and most poreless Uranium. OF
all the list he poses least in a conscious
way, but most unconsciously. He has
not time to think of posing, for If he
did his horn would get empty and sur
cease from its labors The man who
nightly thumps a drum on the street as
means Of grace, the blind man who
uses an accordion in his efforts to at
tract the attention of the charitable and
induce them to pay him to stop, may
pose in n humble way, and frequently
do so, but the big horn blower has both
hands and his mouth full. and, though
innocently n spectacle, is, unconscious
ly, an object Of sympathetic regard.
He might pose If he could, but he can
not. He alone, of the whole musical
fraternity, makes no conscious effort to
attract public attention, though he de-
serves more than even the drum major,
for without big horn the largest or
chestra would be n thing unbalanced
and out Of joint.

whether its members are as old and
ugly as those of the grand opera chorus,
and what sort of person the prima DON
ma assoluta Is, and what she has on,
| and how it fits, and how many men are
in the male chorus, and how wide they
can open their mouths. Even a theater
crowd, in place of entertainment
where the music Is merely subordinate
and Incidental to the main attraction,
want to see the orchestra, gaze upon
the bald back of the leaders bald head,
watch the facial convulsions of the
man whose business 1t Is to pierce the
atmosphere with the upper notes Of the
piccolo, and sympathize with the man
who extracts dying groans from the
double bass. So the posing business
seems to be quite satisfactory to both
artists and their audiences, and so long
as each party is content, it is not easy to
see why any one else has a right to COM
plain.
OF musical folk, the most competent
posers for effect are the artists of the
lyric drama. Posing is their business,
and not infrequently they devote more
attention to their attitudes than to their
music, as reckoning that any deficiency
in the latter will be condoned by the
audience on account of proficiency in
the former. They have abundant facili-
ties for exercising all their gifts in this
direction, and the only criticism that
can be justly made on their efforts Is
that they fall into regulation attitudes
which are in accordance with the tradi-
tions of the stage, and have been in use
so long that they have come to be con-
sldered Indispensable to the proper rem
