Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.

Woman Suffrage in Wyoming.
Hon. Jos. M. Cary. an ex-senator OF
Wyoming, at hearing on woman suff:
rage amendment, before the judiciary
committee of the house of representa-
tives last winter said: :.
"Atter close observation for all these
years, l have no hesitation in saying that
l'have failed to see any disadvantage
whatever arising tronr women exercising
the right of suffrage and full political
rights. They show as marked ability.
as discriminating sense of duty, in the
exercises of their political rights as do
their fathers, husbands or brothers.
They have sought Office to very limited
extent, yet they exercise their right of
suffrage as generally and .as intelligent
ly as do the men of the state. They
have filled many places Of responsibility,
some elective, Others appointive. The
possession Of political rights has opened
many places of employment to women
which otherwise would be closed. The
advantages have been many. A disor.
derly primary meeting in Wyoming is
the elections are quiet, the
most modest woman feels perfectly free
at the polling booth or to serve as an,

views and makes her take an interest in

VALUED POLICIES.

A communication from MIR. l.. B. Par
sons of Bathgate, who is an insurance
man, gives some light ON the "valued
policy" business from the insurance
mans standpoint. We however still be-
lieve, that it would be very easy matter
for insurance companies to find the value
of property insured at the time of insur-
ance. That in net results it would pay
the insurance companies to do this, as
no better way of preventing fraud or
error from generalization can be found.
1t is the natural inclination of owners
to over value their own property. The
owner may honestly believe his building
worth 81 900 and pays premium based
on certain per cent of that amount.
The company accepts the premium on
81 600 perhaps for long term of years
and when the loss comes, then, but not
till then, adjusters come around and pay
what they deem the value,-but we
never heard that any part of the over
paid premium was refunded as part OF
the loss or otherwise.
Every little town is carefully mapped
out and the percentage premiums to be
paid on each building is figured and
agreed upon by the insurance companies.
Why not put valuation on at the same
time?
The whole system is somewhat shown
up by the Dutchnan's experience. He
insured his barn for 81, 600. 1t burned
and he called upon the company to pay
his loss. The adjuster came around and
said, "Hans we can only give you $500,
that is all your barn was worth" 'Well"
said Hans, "Spose l don't take it."
"Why," said the adjuster, 1--WE will build
you new barn instead" By and by a
life insurance man struck Hans to in
sure his life, but Hans could see no profit
in having his life insured, as the loss
would be paid after his own death. The
bright insurance agent, (they are all
bright fellows) struck new tack; says
he, ''Then let me insure Katrina, your
wife, for thousand in your favor"
"Yaw, yaw," said Hans, "You be like
dem odder feller; buneby Katrina may
be die-I wants the tousan dollar; you
send Won odjooster; he say, Hans, Kat
rina was big, fat, lazy, old vrow; she
no wort a tousan dollar; the company pay
you eight hundred dollar or else they
get you new vroww
Our idea is that fair agreement on
values should be made at the time of in
surance, then the insured will know that
he is getting value received for premiums
paid while the INSURANCE company will
prevent erroneous or fraudulent over
valuation, and save much dispute and
litigation in case of loss. We don't want
the company to pay 81, 600 for an $500
loss, nor the insured to pay from two to
seven per cent premium on 81 900 when
he only gets $500 worth of insurance.
Have thatmatter settled tthe beginning.

The Pioneer Express.
THE EDITORIAL JAUNT.

A few weeks ago during the legisla-
tive session, a number of editors of this
state took jaunt down south. They
should have been at home seeing that
their members of the legislature were do
ing their duty-but that we will let pass.
Now some Of the participants in that
trip, claim that there were too few edi-
tors and too many lawyers, doctors,
merchants, harnessmakers, liverymen,
farmers. politicians, bankers and such.
The editor of the Hope Pioneer is au-
thority for this statement He thinks
that the editorial association should be
disbanded because such thing happen
ed. He would be right, if the editorial
association existed for the sake of junk
cts. But it does not. 1t exists for busi-
ness, and good deal OF the business is
not done. 1t exists to see that its men,
bers are not walked over collectively and
in the mass, by the legislature. It exists
for the purpose of seeing that legislators
who spend their time plotting to injure
the press that makes them, stay at home
the next time. So long as the railroads
are willing to carry carload of outsid-
ers as editors, we fail to see that there
should be any objection, provided the
editors who want to go are not crowded
out. Doubtless the gentlemen who went
on the excursion were all good fellows,
and helped to make the trip pleasant
one.
The editor of the Pioneer speaks truly
OF the business phase of the purpose of
the association. but we think, with per-
haps one exception, all participants of
the late excursion to Florida will agree
with us, that the intimate acquaint-
ance made with fellow editors and wives
during the trip was valuable as we'll as
pleasant. Many fellow whom we
think it a sort of weekly duty to disagree
with in type, is found personally, on ac-
quaintance, to be pretty good sort of a
chap after all. A crowded sleeping car
is a great developer Of human nature,
and we are glad to testify that except in
perhaps two or three cases, the results
were very gratifying and the social hours
spent in the sleeper were not the least of|
the pleasures ofthe trip.
AS to the other fellows who were
sandwiched in among the real editors
we can say that they were all nice peo-
pie. Many were directly connected in al
financial way with the papers they repre-
sented as owners or stockholders, 9TH
ers took the place Of editors who could |
not go, but paid more orless> for the ne
cessary accompa paning advertising, and all |
paids the association membership fee.

A popularity of the war both with

SO far as reports go, not single Ameri-

which kills wounded men rather than to
take them prisoners.

(Editorial.)

The PIONEER EXPRESS last week gave
the new and startling facts that there are
no saloons in Pembina and that St. Vim
cent is in Minnesota. We will state for
the benefit of "those so lamentably ig-
norant" that we did not refer to the ac-
cidental shooting "across the river" with
the words "Another Murder in Pembi-
na." Also for the benefit of 'those so
lamentably ignorant" we would say that
Mr.. Donald Thomson is no longer aud
itor as the P. E. official directory informs
us, but that Mr.. Paul Williams is now
auditor and has held that position for
several weeks. Such scathing sarcasm(?)
on the part of the P. E. is entirely un-
called for and unwarranted.

SEAL HERDS.
Yreka journal: Seal herds off the
coast of California are reported to be
larger than for many years. and it is
believed that this is one OF the results
of so much hunting ON the Japan coast
the past five years, the seals having
been driven from their favorite grounds
back to this coast. The here's are not
diminishing, but they are changing
their base more often than in former
years, when they were not hunted so
much
TAMPERING WITH THE BALLOTS
San Jose Mercury: The District At
torney election contest, replete as it has
been with suspicious of post election
manipulation of ballots, has taken a
turn even more serious, pointing to a
criminal ta1npering with the returns in
the sacred precincts of the court room,
under the very eyes Of the Judge. The
previous contests had shown that
through the ignorance and carelessness
of numerous; electors, if not by proven
fraud, the will of the majority of vot-
ers in this county had been set aside
and made of no moment. Ballots
which plainly bore on their face the
intent of the voter were thrown out
on technical grounds alone, and a mi
nority vote changed into a majority.
Thus, through the ignorance of a con-
siderable percentage of voters and
trivial legal technicalities, the peoples
decree was annulled and a great wrong
committed. But a far worse aspect IS
placed upon the contest now under
way by the statement made from the
bench yesterday by Judge Hyland. The
case had been submitted, and upon his
examination of numerous ballots which
remained for him to pass upon the
Judge discovered a. number of crosses
which there is reason to believe had
been placed ON the ballots while the
question of the election was under ad-
judication, by some person who was
legally authorized to handle them.
These crosses betrayed marked indi-
eating that several were the work of
one person and several others the work
of another, and certain thumb imprints
in connection with these peculiar
crosses lead to the conclusion that the
stamp used had been attached in some
way to the thumb of the person using
it. This is serious matter, and Judge
Hyland is to be commended for having
reopened the case Of his own motion
in order that the matter may be probed
to the bottom, the mystery cleared up
If possible, and the guilty persons de-
tected and punished
