1T is observed by the Wilcox New Era

she was the OILY member of that class
who could graduate with Honor All true

supply. Who are the beneficialles of this

THE TRUTH ABOUT WYOMING.
By Alice Stone blackwell, of Boston.

An anonymous pamphlet lately publish
Cd by the Ant-Suffrage Association as
serts that Wyoming, where women vote
IS DISTINGUISHED from other States by the
fact that gambling IS licensed there that
no city is allowed to forbid gambling; that
the restrictions on the liquor traffic are
less than in most other States and that
homicide is legally eXcusable under GER
tain circumstances.
A letter from Chief Justice Groesbeck.
of wyoming, in response TO letter OF in
ouiry from Miss Blackwell clearly shows
the falsity Of these statements. l quote
in part as follows:
After mentioning a number of other
States besides wyoming where gambling is
legal. he continues:
Il am not an apologist for the law. and
have fought It in season and out Of sea-
son. Il has been modified so as to rele-
gate the matter of licensing gambling in
municipalities to the several city councils.
I am happy TO say that in this. the Uni
versitv town of the State Uaramie),
gambling is forbidden by heavy penalties.
and has been for many years; and this
has been largely owing to the persistent
efforts of the ladies.
our liquor laws are not less restrictive
than those of other States not under pro
hibition: indeed. our liquor licenses are
very heavy, the annual licenses here be-
ing $500 and in other towns $500 The
laws and ordinances are severe against the
sale or furnishing OF liquors and tobacco
to minors.
The law in relation to 'eXcusable hom-
icide was repealed years ago. It never
received such an absurd construction as
that placed upon it in the Anti-Suffrase
circular, and did not operate TO shield muir
derers while it was in force The num-
Der Of murders committed in Wyoming is
small We are n law-abiding people. This
must he our reputation abroad. as our
state and municipal bonds sell at "a
premium. This would not be the case
were we known to be a dishonest or law
less commonwealth. as nothing is more
sensitive than capital in this respect.

THE RAILWAY SITUATION.
\ Clear Exposition of the Position of the
Elm Grove Company.

Elm Grove Company.
Ohio Valley Manufacturer.
The matter Of extending or charging
the franchise now held by the Elm
Grove Railway Co. is now before the
authorities or the city of Wheeling and
Ohio county. The railway company
asks for additional fayors and proposes,
if their petition should be granted, to
modernize their road, in so far as pow
err, equipment service and fares are
concerned. But a rival company also
asks for favors, of pretty much the
same character, and the new aspirant
pledges itself, through its sponsors, to
start in thorough modern style
The Elm Grove Company is, compar-
atively speaking, an old institution that
has passed through much of adverse
and but little good fortune-lt has had
far more buffets in its time than car
esses. yet through it all it has held on
to life and given service to quite a
large number of patrons. who, but for
this service. would have been seriously
inconvenienced 1t is the old question
of the old servant and the green can
didate and, prospectively, new one

The Elm Grove Company deserves
consideration because Of its history, It's

courage: the new company deserves
consideration on the general principle
that enterprise should be encouraged:

Queensland government, is here on be-

hopes to induce goodly number OF
farmers and skilled artisans to emf
CRATE.
we have several millions of acres
of the finest land that ever lay out
doors" said Mr.. Russell last night,
and we can raise everything from sar-
dine cans to sugar and mangoes. What
we want is for people Of the middle
classes. with experience and some cap
ital. to emigrate 10 Queensland and
develop the natural resources of the
country. There is an abundance OF
good government land that may be
rented or purchased for a song. Out
of 66S.4S7 square miles of land in the
colony. the government has only sold
thus far 22.205 square miles. Over
100000 square miles have been leased
and there remains nearly 100000 square
miles open TO settlement.
The mineral deposits in the country
are rich and varied. We have tin,
copper and precious metals in abun-
ance ana the mines only await devel-
opment. During the year 1896, we eX-
ported 1900 tons of tin valued at Ga
coo pounds. and our other exports may
be given as follows: Wool, $4,000 tons
valued at S15.OOO,OOO; 10000 tons OF
tallow. valued at 100000; 10000 tons
OF sugar. only a portion of which was
exported and brought $4,000; skins

tricts people with experiences and
