EAGLE SCREAMED.
Topeka Soldier Saw Fourth of July
Celebrated by a New People.

The following is from a letter written
to the State Journal by George G.
Boardman with the Twentieth United
States regulars in the Philippines:
I do not know what the people in
the states think of this great absorbing
question but have seen the Fourth of
July celebration by a new people who
have had their first idea of American
freedom and they made the eagle
scream according to instructions. We
celebrated here with all the zeal and
ardOr Americans have. We fairly made
these old hills re-echo American free
dom. I am now prouder than ever Of
our new inheritance to see the stars
and stripes wave over a free people,

A NEEDED CHANGE.

A bill has been prepared which, if it
becomes a law, will cause a revolution
in Wyoming tax matters. The bill has
been drawn by two of the best lawyers
in the state. after wide practical ex-
perience and careful research. 1t pro-
vides for a county assessor. who shall
be appointed by the board of commits
sioners. In lieu of salary the assessor
will receive a percentage on the equal
lied value of the property of the coun-
ty. Being appointed, he will not be
intimidated by the threatened with
drawal of votes, and the combined wis
dom of three good commissioners ought
to make the selection of a competent
assessor an easy matter. The bill has
oaths for taxpayers which will be very
hard for fairly honest men to get
around. and penalties for perjury of a
severe nature.
AS Don as the bill is printed, The
Republican will review it more fully.

THE WOLF BOUNTY.

THE Laramie Republican complains
of a bounty on wolves and coyotes, but
never say a word about the heavy ex-
pense of the state maintaining two pen
ence when the other fellows OK is
gored."-Casper Tribune.
The editor of the Tribune. usually
fair, has this time misstated the posi-
ton of The Republican. We are not in
favor of the state maintaining two
penitentiaries, but even if such were
the case, the men of Natrona county
would share the benefits alike. A pen
itentiary is a necessity for the preser-
walton of the rights of all the people;
a state wolf bounty is an appropriation
of the peoples money for the question
able benefit of a class. and that class
the most prosperous of all our citizens.
If the editor of the Casper Tribune will
take his pencil and figure for a few
minutes he will see the rank injustice
TO the state of an appropriation Of s40,-
900 to carry out the provisions of this
bounty bill. 1t is not denied that there
are in excess of 700, 900 head of cattle
in Wyoming, of which in 1898 but $780,
600 were returned for assessment. It
will be seen that just 40 per cent are
assessed. The valuation for 1898 was
$15 per head, or about 40 per cent Of
the real value-the average of Wyo-
ming cattle marketed during 1898 was
in excess of 500 per head. This double
ended cut left the assessed valuation
for 1898 at not TO exceed 20 per cent.
Now will the editor of the Tribune in
sist that it is right for the people of the
state to return even the tax raised
from this low valuation, and more too.
to he stockmen and maintain all the
institutions of the state besides?
The Republican stands upon the
broad ground of equality before the
law. There should be no favored
classes; all should bear a just and equal
portion of the burden of government.

OPPOSITION TO FREE TEXT BOOKS
1t is a noticeable fact that whenever
any Measure has been introduced in
the Wyoming legislature looking to an
Improvement of tht public school sys-
TEN throughout the state by giving in
creased power to the superintendent
of public instruction, it has encount-
cred the uniform opposition of certain
local officers in charge of the public
schools of the capital. Today Wyoming
has the most imperfect laws on educa-
ton of any state in the west, and it Is
this persistent opposition to any i'm
provement on the part of those who are
unwilling to come under any %supervis-
ion of the state that keeps Wyoming
in the background. The state con
tributes thousands of dollars towards
the support of the public schools and
ought to have something to say as to
the administration of its funds. Sew
eral years ago the state superintendent
was authorized to prepare a uniform
system of text books to be used in the
public schools. but the law on that sub
ject has been almost entirely ignored.
1t is now proposed that a member of the
Cheyenne school board go before the.
legislature and oppose the introduce
ton of free text books into the public
schools Of the state, at least "a far as
Cheyenne is concerned. The law should
make no such distinction. The citi-
zens of Cheyenne are entitled to the
same consideration as in any other part
of the state. The suggestion that it be
left optional with the Cheyenne school
board as to the adoption of free text
books is only another way of making
such a law imperative. The question of
free text books is no longer an expert
ment, but has the approval of the most
progressive states in the union; and
it will be to the honor and credit of our
state if we take an advanced position
on this subject.
There is an effort being made to have
the legislature raise the standard of
teachers in the public schools of Wyo-
ming by requiring a o strict eX-
animation before certificates to teach
are issued: but any such measure is
likely to receive opposition from the
same source as the free text books

THE S LAW.

The amendment to the fish law Of
fered by Mr.. McAnally OF Carbon coun-
ty, restricting catches to twenty
pounds. is exciting considerable COM
ment. After mature consideration we
are of the opinion that it is not a good
provision. There are hundreds Of people
living in the cities of Wyoming who
never have trout upon their tables ex-
cept when they are given to them by
the expert anglers. Did anyone ever
hear of a successful angler permitting
his fish to go to waste? If he makes an
unusually large catch, the fish are care
fully dressed and packed in ice or grass
and brought nice and fresh to town,
where they furnish a toothsome repast
for friends and neIghbors unskilled in
the art of casting the fly. The streams
are stocked for the benefit of all the
people of the state, and we believe that
more people are benefited by permit
ting the men who angle for the mere
to quantity, for the true sportsman
will not waste any of his fish, nor will
he violate the law as to size, etc. He
carefully takes all small trout from his
hooks and returns them to the streams.
This amendment should be carefully
considered with a view to securing the
greatest benefit to the greatest number.

REVISION OF STATUTES.
One of the Most Important Matters
Before the Legislature.

One of the most generally talked of
and interesting subjects at the present
time is the question of the revision of
WyOming's statutes. In the circles of
attorneys the question is foremost. and
the citizen generally look forward with
interest at the action that will be taken
by the legislature, says the Cheyenne
Sun-Leader.
That a revision is an imperative ne
Cessity, no one doubts. The last re
vision was made in the year 1887 and
the work attached to looking UP a law
with its amendments is best apreciat-
ed by those who are compelled to
go to the trouble of consulting many
voluminous books as a part of their
daily work, than can be described. The
present Legislature appreciates the fact
that the adoption of a revision bill is a
necessity and the legislators, individu-
ally. are DESTROYS of d~isposing of the
matter in a n that will be en-
inently satisfactory to rneir constitu-
entS.
The joint committee on revision is
composed Of Senators Williams and
Mcbride and Representatives Carpen-
ter, Fourt, and Baird. The last three
are able lawyers. With the idea of dis
posing Of the matter with the least ex-
pense to the state, it is proposed to
carefully examine the revision of two
years ago. 1t has been suggested as
a good idea, which will probably be
adopted, to request the judges of the
supreme court to go over the revised
statutes simply to determine whether
or not they are correct. whether any
thing has been omitted. The judges
will simply judge as to the correctness
and completeness of the revised stat
utes and where anything is omitted the
joint committee will have it inserted.
By the adoption of this plan the state
will be spared the expense of a new re-
vision. The joint committe will enter
upon its labors az once and it is conf

received a half mill tax, which
was found to be unnecessary. and the
was reduced to one-eighth mill,
which proved to be inadequate. Two
years ago the tax was raised to one
quarter mill, which has been sufficient
in conjunction with the fund received
from the general government, to meet
all requirements so far as operating ex-

Yes; our experiments proved that it

in the Hygienic Institute In Munich.
Experiments on rabbits that had been
previously infected with anthrax
showed that the dissolution Of the

"The Most unkindest Cut Of ALL

Two East Tennesseans, one OF whom
was the editor of the country paper,
were one day having an argument
about bill that one owed the other.
AS both were a little more than three
sheets in the wind" the argument was
not so clear as it might have been;
but, perhaps, some editors who have
troubles of their own may be able to
see the point and sympathize with
man who "got it in the neck" and did
not get his money
you'd better pay me that amount
you owe me now," said the editor to his
companion.
'I don't owe yer nothing was the
reply.
Eyer do, and what's more, I can prove
it,"
prove it, then, but yer don't get
nothin' fer yer trouble
The editor sat and thought. At last
he raised his head; he had made up his
mind to do the worst: he leaned his
arm on the table and looked his fellow
full in the eye; after a few seconds of
silence these omninous words fell slow
ly and thickly from his lips: well, eff

A Disciple of D'Annunzio.

It would seem as though the Apostle
of Beauty" as they call here Gabrielle
d 'Annunzio, the we'll known author, had
already followers. The other day there
arrived in Rome, bareheaded and on
foot, a young man, tall and broad
backed, with sunburned face, hair curl
ing on his shoulders, wearing sandals,
and clad from head to foot in spOtleSs
white, his garment being not unlike the
toga in shape, but more roomy. This
strange and arresting figure attracted
the attention of the idlers in the street,
but he went on calmly, apparently un-
conscious of the interest he excited.
To the question as to why he dressed
in that manner he replied animatedly:
rs this not the costume of the really
free man? In my travels 1 find always

da"

was the interested question.

And you, do you intend to continue

Why, of course. My wants are few
and I ask nothing for myself; I do not
smoke, because smoking agitates the
brain. l do not drink. because wine
agitates the blood. I eat only vegeta
bles. The money which I receive will
be boarded until it is sufficient to carry

The new prophet of Beauty, who is
not unworthy in appearance of such a
propaganda, is young Italian, Luigi

A Kind Monkey.

Monkeys are more renowned for mis-
chief than for Kindness but even mon
keys can be benevolent. NJ. Mouton
records the doings of one in Guade-
loupe that surely seemed to merit that
reputation.
The monkey had friend in goat
that went daily to the pasture. Every
night the monkey would pick out the
burrs and thorns, sometimes to the
number of two thousand or three thou
sand, from the goats fleece, in order
that the animal might lie down in
peace.
On coming in from the pasture, the
goat regularly went in search of his
light-handed friend and submitted
himself to the operation. Strange to
say, the tricky instincts of the monkey
reasserted themselves after the prickles
were removed, he would tease the poor
goat numerically, plucking his beard,
poking him in the eyes, and pulling out
his hairs. The goat bore it all with
patience. perhaps regarding it as only
fair price to be paid for the removal
of the thorns.-Youth's Companion.
