The highest income received during
any n year by the state land board
OF which Governor Osborne was presi-
dent. was about s12. $40. But the in
come Of the state has been steadily and
rapidly increasing from the commence
ment OF Governor Richards admins
tration until during the last fiscal
year, 1897, the amount received by the
state board for said year. from the
leasing Of public lands to settlers, In
this state amounted to s36, 1882 SO. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government. without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, 341,7 ITO acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue Of $17,oes. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
Of Wyoming the annual expenses Of
the county government to the tax pay
ers OF Wyoming amounted to the vast
sum Of 1870. 909.51. AS a result Of wise
legislation and a republican governor,
and as a result Of the thorough and
painstaking work Of the present state
examiner, and heartily co-operated in
by the various district judges and
county commissioners throughout the
state. although the numDer OF counties
has been increased. the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to 1920. O9S. 93. or a saving Of over
$50. 900 per annum to the taxpayers of
Wyoming.
Attention is called to the fact that
our last republican legislature passed
acts in reference to fees to be COL
lected from corporations incorporated
under the laws OF this state and from
companies whereby the
income Of the state has been
increased over a year Of the Osborne
administration from 50, 900 to the sum
OF $1S,0 200. These are but instances OF

WANTS THEM ALL.
United States Commissioners Will De.
mand the Philippines.

New York, Oct. IA dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says:
Although the peace commissioners
themselves profess perfect satisfaction
with matters as far as they have SO far
progressed. a certain amount Of inQuie-
tude is plainly observable on the
Spanish side. This appears to be un-
doubtedly due to the irmness Of the
Americans.
Report has It that the United States
intends to solve the Philippine dificul-
ty by inststing upon the cession OF the
rest Of the archipelago. This is said
to be = hard blow for the Spanish COM
missioners. From the few details that
have leaked out It seems that Spain
hoped to deal with the Philippines p-
on the basis established In the protocol
that u. the cession Of Manila and one
island for . coaling station. Now a.

the United States Will Insist Upon
a Retention of the Philippines.

P0ft3, OCt. tine American and
Spanish peace commissioners again
confront each other this afternoon.
The American commission held a ses.
sion this morning and were occupied
with Washington correspondence
During the ces they have sought tc
perfect the United States position in
relation to the alternative or contingent
attitude ON propositions of the Spanish
this afternoon. Thus far the form OF
substance Of the American present
ment has not been disclosed. 1t was
its presentation at Mondays joint SEES
sion which caused the Spaniards to ask
for or demand a recess from Monday
until Friday.
Whatever was new or strange will
possibly develop from the American
side as having resulted from the con-
ferences with Major General Merritt
since Mondays joint session. 1t the
Americans were then sweeping in their
demands regarding the Philippine ISL
ands. they have certainly not been
weakened by the statements of General
Merritt.
However, 1t is possible that the
Spaniards will enter the session today
fully ~appreciating their position as the
vanquished. although they will stem
uously urge the existence Of rights and
equities remaining to the ~vanquished.
On this subject the Cautious says that
during the last tweny-four hours SEN
sational and alarming news has been
afioat regarding the negotiations.
1t cites the English papers ellega-
lions that Judge Day has cabled to
Washington saying that the negotia-
lions for a treaty of peace are on the
verge OF stopping, owing to the refusal
cofMadrid to accept the United States
attitude regarding the Philippine ISL
ands.
The Gaulois also cites a statement to
the feet that Judge Day has been
authorized to suspend negotiations If
the Spaniards do not conform to the
American views and declares it a
ahirm that this news Is absolutely in
correct. 1t declares, however. that
whereas the Spaniards at the outset
obdurate. they are now disposed to
modify their Intentions, owing to the
6rmness Of the attitude Of the United
States, the people Of which. it is claim
ed, have rot been excited to the point
Of insisting upon holding the Philip
pine islands.
The utterances OF Attorney General
Griggs before the republican
ton at Trenton, N. j., last week, are
cited as showing that the United
States purpose is expansion. Spain is
alleged to be beginning to realize this
and It Ii said she will finally agree to
give up Manila and the island of Lu-
zon. on condition that the United
States assume the Philippine debt.
amounting to 10000. 900. and accords
privileges to Spanish trade. In con-
eclusion the Gaulois says:
We think we are authorized to say
that President Mckinley will agree to
"A settlement on this basis"

1t is hard to understand how nm,
man can refuse to help to meet the cost
OF the camps on the ground that he will
receive none Of the benefits. Can our
people not understand thut every new
dollar brought into the community
must help every person and interest in
1T, one way or another? Aside from
thnt, where would this community, or
any other, be without public spirit
the readiness to give or surrcn. r.
something for the good of the whole?
That Is the foundation Of civilized So.
clcty ami the main spring Of progress.
The above Is from the Grccnvillr
News and has reference to an effort be-
Ing made to raise money from the citi-
Zens OF the town by voluntary subscrip-
lion ior the purpose of making ready
Tor the soldiers who are to be cncamp-
cd at Grccnvillc. We have nothing to
DO with the local applications but we
nope the effort was successful. We
refer to it simply TO cmphusizc the
principle which we have ON more than
one occasion tried to bring home to our
own people. We have more than once
said "evcry new dollar brought into
the community must help every person
or interest in it,"
There are so uuauy people in every
community who arc unwilling to
contribute anything for the rcn.
cral good that the Importance of
doing so can not be too Of
ten or too strongly emphasized.
NO man can live to HIMSELF and
whatever helps community helms
every citizen Of the community directly
or indirectly, and vice versa, Whatever
Is injurious to one citizen is injurious,
more or less, directly or Indirectly, to
the whole community. There arc Dco
pie VINO have no children to educate
1or instance, who oppose paying taxes
Tor the education of other peoples
children or for the support of tn,
schools OF the community. \ good
school In every community helps every
citizen in the community. ANY town
without public spirit is bound 20 ro
backward and everybody in the town
Will feel the ill-clfcct of this backward
movement. We need to encoururo
that spirit which is willing to rive
something and do something for tho
common good. Without it the com.
munlty Is obliged to stag nate and will
die Of the dry rot.

We have received II copy OF Latham.
AleNandcr Il Co.'S book on Cotton
Fluctuations. 1t contains many valu-
able statistics and much information in
regard TO cotton. In fact we have re-.
ceived these books every year for sew
eral years and arc always glad to have
them. Speaking OF the production of
cotton it says:
I'VE have repeatedly written on the
subject OF over production of cotton,
but the planters Of the South do not
seem to have been impressed by the
truth or force of our arguments.
''To emphasize this idea it is only
necessary to compare the niarkct value
OF last Years crop with that Of the wear
before. The crop Of 1869 was $,
9b4 bales. The export price of that
crop was i.l1r, cQualing S32I ,5lI .Sj4:
while the crop Of lS9I-!S was II, l99, ,g9l
bales. which was marketed on an aver
age export basis OF 5."Gc, which equals
1895, ,432 los.
"ln other words. the cotton planters
OF the South raised last year 2..ll2. .u;,u
bales more than they did the year be-
fore, aud yet, bA reason Of this over
production, that crop realized only $40,
SS4, ,6O4 more than the crop Of the pre-
vious year."
In other words, foi the surplus of
nearly two and Onc-half million bales
the farmers received an average Of /,
Ia
pounds which would scarcely pay for
the picking Of it. The Indications an e
that the present crop for lS9S-99 will
give as great If not Il greater surplus
than did the crop Of IS91-9S and the
price is lower than it was a year auo.
In fact we believe the price has yonc
lower this week than it has been since
the war md the farmers continue to
grow cotton. If every cotton planter
in the South would just go to work now
and buy cotton TO be delivered mex, fall
ana not plant Il seed he would bc better
OH because at present prices it is cheap
or to buy 1T than it is to grow it. And
yet the fact remains that ubont nine
tcnths OF the farmers who grow cotton
are short on cotton goods for their
actual necessities not to mention their
comfort because they have not the
money with which to buy the cotton
goods. We are told that The cause is
ovcrproduction. That may be. but
we think there is something else wrong.
just what it is or how t" remedy it We
do not know.
