1t IS we'll established that the United
States government cannot be held
legally responsible for such acts of
mob violence as the recent lynching of
five Italians in Louisiana. This was
clearly shown by Secretary Of State
Blaine after the New Orleans
massacre by members of the Malta.
Nevertheless. in that case as a matter
of International courtesy an indemnity
was raN t6 the ;heirssef, the slain by

seems to have been a sudden outburst
of race prejudice and little short Of

n objection that The Republican
sees to this manner of handling the
bounty question. 1t is open to the
charge of class legislation Just as GER
tain as the method Of appropriating
the money directly from the state treas
ury. 1t is necessary, however, for the
stockmen Of this state and other noun
tain states to take united action look
ing to the determination of the wolves.
They destroy property each year to the
value of the bounty paid ten times over,
and they appear to be increasing rath-
err than diminishing in numbers. What
ever action is taken should be taken in
concord. Wolves cannot be extermin-
ated to any purpose If they are to be
eXterminated only in spots, for the rea-
son thai they are migratory animals,
travelling from one section to another
in a very short time. Colorado, Wyo-
ming, Utah, Idaho, Montana, South Da-
kota and Nebraska should have a law

SLEEP IMPERATIVE.
LET NO MAN RESIST ITS IN
FLUENCE.
Falling Asleep Amid the Ronr and
Carnage of Battle-Peopis Can slum-
Der While They TX q Source
OF Torture. q

One of the most remarkable facts to
be found in the history of sleep con-
sists in the utter inability to resist its
onset in cases Of extreme fatigue, says
a writer in Harper's. Several remark
able instances are given in which per-
sons have continued to walk inward
while sleep has overcome them, the
automatic centers of the brain evident
ly controlling and stimulating the
muscles when consciousness itself had
been completely a%brogated. 1t is re-
corded that at the battle of the Nile,
amid the roar of cannon and the fall
OF ~wreckage, some of the over-fatigued
boys serving the guns with powder fell
asleep on the deck. DR.. Carpenter
gives another instance of allied kind.
In the course of the Burmese wal the
captain of a frigate actually engaged
in combat fell asleep from sheer ex-
haustion and slept soundly for two
hours, within a yard of one of the big
gest guns, which was being actively
worked during his slumbers. 1t is a
matter of common medical knowledge
that extreme exhaustion in face of the
severest pain will induce sleep. Here
the imperative demand of the body
a demand implanted, as we have seen,
In the constitution of our frames-as-
serts its influence; and even pain, the
ordinary conqueror Of repose, has in its
turn to succumb. One of the most eH-
t~raordinary cases In which the overrul-
ing power of sleep was ever eXempli-
fled was that of Damiens, condemned
for treason in Paris in 1857. He was
barbarously tortured, but remarked
that the deprivation of sleep had been
the greatest punishment Of all. 1t was
reported that he slept soundly ever in
the short intervals which elapsed be-
tween the periods of torture. Among
the Chiness a form of punishment for
crimes consists in keeping the prisoner
continuously awake, or Of arousing
him necessarily after short intervals OF
repose. After the eighth day of such
sleeplessness one prisoner besought his
captors to put him to death by any
means they could choose to invent, so
great was his pain and torment due to
the absence of natures soft nurse"
Persons engaged in mechanical labor,
such as attending a machine in a fac

the plain record of pains and penalties
attending such a derellction of duty.

danger which was painfully kept be-

A WOLF BOUNTY PLAN.

A prominent stockman OF Albany
county has conceived a somewhat W.
81 idea in Connection with the bounty
upon predatory wild animals. He
would have the national government
take charge of the matter, and to pay
tho bounty he would set aside a guam
tity Of public land In the several states
affected to be leased, the lease money
to be placed in q fund for the payment
Of the bounties. The law would be
reeerelsin It's operation over the states
affected and he would have the bounty
sumciently high to work an extermin-
alton of the animals which are o
exterminating the cattle and. sheep.
The department OF agriculture Is sug-
gested a. the proper department Il
take charge Of the work. In wyoming,
there is no a why this plan should
not work well. A million acres OF land
could be rented without n trouble
at say three cents per acre. This wouid
give ss0, 900 per annum for bounty pur-
poses. or more than twice the SUM now
appropriated. Al there are perhaps
forty million acres Of vacant land IN

CRITICISM OF A MASTER.

Most truly a thing Of beauty is the
illustrated edition of the Laramie Re
publican, which came to hand last
evening. 1t is a forty-eight page quarto,
beautifully illustrated and handsomely
printed, with a specially designed and
engraved cover of green tinted enam-
eled paper. 1t is mainly devoted to AL
bany county, which it fully describes,
including the chief features of Lara
mic city. The half tones Of scenery are
evidence that Albany county offers su-
perior attractions in this line. The
first four pages are devoted to Wyo-
ming. A handsome half one of the
state capitol is followed by an interest
ing sketch of the state, and illustrated
articles on Governor DeForest Rich
ards, Senator Warren and Congressman
Frank w. Mondell. 1t has been some
years since a publication of equal merit
has been turned out by any newspaper
of the state. If indeed any can claim to
have done so.-Sun-Leader.

The Siamese spend ~three-fourths of
their existence in the water. Their
first act on awaking is to battle, and
they battle at II o'clock, again at 8,
and, lastly, at sunset. There is scarce
ly an hour in the day when bathers
may not be seen in all the creeks, even
the shallowest and muddiest. Boys go
to play in the river just as our chill
dren go to play in the street. A
traveller tells of a Siamese woman sit
ting on the lowest step of a landing
place, while by a girdle she held in
the water her infant of a few months.
Were not the Siamese expert swim
mers many lives would be lost, for the
tide flows so swiftly that it requires
the greatest skill and care to prevent
boats from running foul of one
another. A story is told Of an English
boat running down a small native
n containing a m and two
children. In an instant they all dis
appeared. The Englishmen were on
the point Of jumping to the rescue,
when they bobbed up and the woman,
upon recovering her breath, poured
forth a volley of abuse. Having thus
relieved her mind, she righted her
canoe, ladled out some Of the water,
and bundled in the children, who had
been ~composedly swimming around
her, regarding with mingled fear and
curiosity the barbarians who had
caused the mishap.-Cleveland Plain

TO THE RAWLINS JOURNAL.

England has never had any use for
a republic and most cordially hates the
United States, but at present her
statesmen believe they have something
to gain in protesting friendship. Are
we to understand that because a re-
publican administration has seen fit to
adopt an imperialistic policy, admin
istration newspapers are going to for
ever sing the praises of a monarchial
system Of government" Rawlins
Journal.
This is, to say the least, a piece OF
condensed Misrepresentation. England
does not hate the United States, as was
evidenced by her standing out strongly
against Europe's attempt to interfere
on behalf Of Spain in our war with that
country and in the cordial feeling her
a British colony or ship, and while
there may be nothing to gain in the
present attitude of our government, a
decent sense Of gratitude dictates the
present policy.
Again, the present administration
has not adopted an imperialistic poll
cy. If the Journal now will read the
recent address of Editor Howell OF
the Atlantic Constitution, he will be
cured of this infatuation. Neither are
republican newspapers going to sing
| the praises of monarchial institutions.
Every mar is entitled to his opinion
on the South African war, but we be-
lieve that a careful reading Of this pro-
longed controversy will convince an
unprecedented person that the Beers
maintained an oligarchy and refused
to extend to others the liberty they
claimed for themselves. Therefore they
have no right to pose as a republic,
nor to ask the sympathyof the United
States on that ground. The time may
come when the United States will be
asked, on the score of humanity and
liberty, to exercise a friendly media
ton, by which great good can be done,
but it can only hope to be able to do
this by our government remaining
strictly neutral while the strife is on.
Therefore it is wise on the part of the
United States to keep hands off at this
time, however much we may deplore
the great loss of valuable lives, and
the instruction Of energy and wealth.

Spain, and the remarkable moral effect
it had in Europe-probably saving us
from having to contend with either
France or Germany-we should hang
our heads in shame IL We are craven
