DISTINGUISHED RECOGNITION
How Wvoming's Representatives stand
In the Estimation of Their Eel
low Men in Congress.

1t is always interesting to clti-
zens of Wyoming to know how the
states representatives stand in the
nations q eat court, the Congress
at Washington. A full list of the
standing committees recently Sc
lected by the senate and house of
representatives Is now printed and
is before us. The many and i'm
portant places assigned to Wyom-
ing's senators and members of
Congress afford abundant evidence
of the exceptionally high position
our delegation holds in the esteem
of their fellow senators and mem
bers.
Mr.. Mondells list is as follows:
Public lands, military affairs,
mines and mining.
All these committees are impor-
tant ones for Wyoming and but
few house members are so well
provided for.
Senator Clark is on railroads
(chairman), transportation roads
to the seaboard, judiciary, for
eign relations, mines and mining,
six committees, an addition of two
to those he served on in the last
congress and the two added are
very necessary ones for Wyoming.
Senator Warren rve on claims
(chairman), irrigation and arid
lands, appropriations, public build
ings, and grounds, military affairs
agriculture, industrial expositions.
All v of these are impor-
tant to Wyoming and the country
Senator Warren stands high up
on appropriations (the most im-
portant committee of the senate
and is next man to the chairman
on public buildings and grounds
and on irrigation, so that he can
serve on every conference commit

Says He's not Dead.

The report that Bob" Devine.
foreman for the Carey Bros. cattle
outfits in Central Wyoming, had
been killed in his home in How
ard county, Kansas, which orig
mated in Casper, has turned out
to be erroneous. Devine writes
from Kansas hat he is alive and
expects to enjoy many future
years of prosperity and happiness.
1t must have been another Bob"
Devine who was killed, and not
the noted terror to the Hole-in
the-Wall band of outlaws.

tee of senate and house from these
two committees, as well as from
claims, of which he is chairman
and which has more bills referred
to 1T than any other Senate com
mlttee except one, and !" the hard
est worked committe of the SEN
ate, employing three clerks all the
year around.
No member of congress, young
in service, has more useful COM
mittees than Mr.. Mondell, and no
two United States senators from
any state in the union have, so
early in their career, received such
generous consideration and pre-
ferment in the way of committee
places.
High appointments on impor-
tant committees are usually at
tanned after long service. Impor-
tant and powerful places always
multiply with continuousservice-
especially in the senate, which is
a continuous body.
Surely the young state of Wyo-
ming is not measured in congress
by her present proportion or
wealth, but by the ability of her
representatives and the high poll
teal and financial standing and
promise of the commonwealth.

GEORGE W. SIssoN,
Deputy Sheriff.

We are glad to have Mr.. Sisson
express himself on this subject.
He understands that it is his duty
to either stop all disturbers of the
peace, or arrest and confine them
in the lock-np, whenever such dis
turbance comes under his obser-
walton. But he cannot always be
on the street, watching for often
ders, and he very justly believes
that it is the duty of every citizen
to make complaint of such dis
turbahces as come under their OBJ
servation. Mr.. Sisson is right If
the people of this town want the
law enforced they must assist both
Mr.. Sisson and Judge Blood
in the performance of their duties.
We wish to say another thing.
The Sun Office is not the place to
file complaints of disorder in the
town. Such complaints should be
made to either Deputy Sheriff Sis
SOL or Judge Blood, who will at
tend to the law breakers. The
Sun will cheerfully do its part,
but there is no use in bringing
your complaints to us, unless you
at the same time take them where
they belong-to Judge Blood or
Deputy Sheriff Sisson.

TWO IMPORTANT MEASURES.
introduced BY Mr. Mondell in the Low.
er Honse of Congress, concerning
Homesteads and Desert
Land Entries,

Mr.. Mondell has introduced two
very importent measures into the
House of Representatives, of
which he has the honor to be a
member from Wyoming. Both
relate to land. One Is to repeal
the payment of both the % cents
per acre, at the time of entering
desert land, and the final payment
of 81 per acre when the final proof
is made, and making the fees in
desert entries the same as in
homestead entries. The rest of
the requirements of the desert law,
with reference to yearly proof of
the expenditure of 81 per acre in
Improvements and the reclamation
of at least one-eigth of the land,
stand as before. This is a very
important matter to the west, and
every man who has had any ex-
perience with the entering and
reclaiming of desert land will be
glad to see the clause requiring
payment for the land at $l.25 per
acre eliminated. 1t is worth the
land to reclaim it, as everyone COM
petent to speak will testify.
The other provides that
any person who has heretofore
made a homestead entry and COM
muted it, shall have the privilege
of taking another. Another clause
provides that any person who has
heretofore made a homesteadentry
and has not proved up on the same
and has not relinquished it for a
valuable consideration, shall have
the right to make another home
stead entry. This is a measure
that will, if it passes, right many
wrongs hat homesteaders have
had to endure. If a man makes a
homestead entry and then COM
mutes and pays for the land at the
rate of SIPS per acre, (or $3.50,
inside of railroad limits,) be has
not had the benefit of the home.
stead law, which promises to give
a man 100 acres in return for res.
idence and cultivation. In many
cases men have made homestead
entries and then, for IN cause OF
another, been compelled to aband.
on them. Every such person has
not had the benefit of the bone.
stead law and should be allowed
as Mr.. Mondell's bill contemplates
to make another entry. We hope
MI. Mondell will be successful il
getting both measures through
Congress.

BOER SYMPATHY.
Not Warranted by Facts, but Simply
natura! Sympathy for the Under
Dog, Engendered BY love
of Fair Play.

of Fair Play.
"There seems to be a great deal
of sympathy for the Beers in this
country which | think is due to a
misrepresentation of the facts in
the case, where England and the
Transvaal are concerned" said a
gentleman to THE Sun recently.
AS he was quite conversant with
the situation there, having rel
atives who were residents of that
country for several years, we in
duced him to give his opinion of
the present trouble there.
SIN the first place." said he,
"the Beers are very much averse
to having any one come into their
country on any pretext whatever.
They are nearly a thousand years
behind the times and the bringing
into their midst of any new ideas
or improvements disturbs them
and their utmost efforts have been
put forth to keep people from the
outside world out of their country.
With untold gold right beneath
their feet they have refused to dig
it out themselves and prevented
other just as long as they could.
"'They have made their natural
ization laws just as uncomfortable
and harsh as possible. No man
can become a citizen, to the limit
ed extent which their laws will
admit, under twelve years, and
after he has become a citizen
he is allowed to vote only for
members of the lower house of
their congress. The members OF
the senate are elected by the vote
of their own native citizens and an
Utlander has no voice In choos-
ing a member of that body. They
have absolute power in all the
branches of government and the
suffrage extended to all the natural
lied citizens is a hollow mockery,
for it amounts to almost no rights
at all.
"They maintain the same close
grip ON everything. Take the
city of Johannesburg as an exam
pie. That city is built entirely
by foreign capital, and almost its
entire population is made up of
Outlanders, and many millions
of dollars have been spent in its
construction, yet the Beers gov
ern it and control all the finances
derived from the heavy taxes in
posed. OF the city council, half
are Beers and the mayor is a
Boer, SO you see they hold the
balance of power and do absolute
ly as they please. The Boer
treasury was bankrupt in 1876.
Now, besides spending millions
for arms and ammunition, and
in the building of defenses, they
! still have a full treasury and
bless your life, the taxes have moi
been taken from their own pock.

porting Disturbances of

EDITOR SUN:
In reference to the article in
your last issue, concerning the
disorder in town, | want to say
that 1 stand ready to do my part
as an officer of the law. When
ever / have seen anyone disturb
ing the peace L have always in
formed them that if they did not
at once tease such disturbance [
would put them in the lookup.
But / do not consider that L
am paid to patrol the streets of
this town and sit up nights to
maintain order. l am willing to
do my part at all times, but il is
the duty of every citizen to make
a complaint, either to myself or
judge Blood, when he sees any
disturbance of any character.
Then the offender could be dealt
with. 1t is not alone the duty of
an officer to keep the peace, SO far
as he can, but it is the duty of
every citizen to assist him in the
matter by reporting every infrac-
of the law.
