 lecturer In Search of Rest.
 '.I have long made it practice to sleep whenever I get an opportunity, !" said man who lectures, ''but recent experience in Baltimore has made me shy of opportunities. You see, I spend g great deal of time on railroad trains, and frequently, in order to keep engage ments, am forced to travel at night. Now. l have great difficulty in getting asleep on sleeping car, and sometimes toss around all night.
 Hast week lectured in Baltimore, and after the lecture I found sleeping car in the railroad yard which was to be added to the train bound for New York. That was my opportunity. bought section, hunted up the porter and asked him if I might retire with the expectation of not being aroused be- fore morning.
 That's what tho car is here for, colonel, he answered. We don't pull out till 80 in the morning, and you can just go right to sleep.'
 "That sounded inviting, and retir. cd. l fell asleep promptly. The move- ment of the car aroused me. and, think. ing that we had been coupled on to tho New York train, closed my eyes again. At that moment the car ran into some. thing on the track with a crash and stopped so suddenly that my head was bumped against the end of the berth. Undoubtedly smash up, thought, and l proceeded to get out of my berth. The porter was sitting in the seat opposite.

The highest income received during
any n year by the state land board
OF which Governor Osborne was presi.
dent, was about $12, $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, 1888. In
addition to this, the state land board
has secured from the United States
government, without additional legis-
lation, as lieu lands, S41,770 acres, for
which application for leases have al
ready been filed which will bring to
the state a further additional annual
revenue OF $17,OSS. While Governor
Osborne was chief executive Of the state
Ut 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 NUMBER of counties
has been increased, the expenses OF
county government have been decreas-
ed to $500. 09s. SO, 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
insurance companies whereby the
annual income Of the state has been
Increased ver a year Of the Osborne
administration from $4,000 to the sum
Of $4,000. These are but instances Of
the progress made by the state and
and the advantages gained to the tax
payers and to the people through the
republican legislation and aminis-
tration.
We censure and condemn John e.
Osborne, Wyoming's representative in
congress, for neglect Of duty In leaving
his seat and coming home to attend to
private business at the most critical
period in the history Of the nation,
causing Wyoming to be the only SOW
erign state that did not respond to
roll call in the house Of representatives
the adoption Of the declaration of
war for humanity and the maintenance
Of national honor.
Knowing that the republican party
is a paryt that fulflls its pledges and
always adheres to those principles that
yield the greatest good to the greatest
number, we fear no criticism, but sub
NIT our record to the most scrutlnizing
investigation.

Paris, Sept. On. Cavaignac, minis

ton is due to disagreement with his
colleagues, who desire revision OF the
Drcyfus case. The following is the let
ter sent to NJ. Brisson, premier and
president Of the council.
ct have the honor TO send you and beg
you to transmit to the president OF the
republic my resignation as minister or

us which, being prolonged. would paralyze

intend to shirk the responsibilities OF the

them without being in accord with the
chief OF the government to which l have
t.e honor TO belong"
The public feeling is running, il pos
sible, even higher. Day by day the tide
in favor of revision is setting strong.
The resignation of NJ. Cavaignac seems
to make revision assured. A certain
feeling of impatience that no decisive
step has yet been taken is noticeable.
Such a complete upheaval of the Drey-
fus case has been made by NJ. Henry's
confession that this was probably in
evitable. NJ. Cayaignac's arrest of
Henry came like thunderbolt, but
when the public had recovered from the
first shock it naturally expected the
government to go forward on the only
honorable path-namely, revision of
the Dreyfus case.
