Advertising Hogs.

THE above title may be a little mis-
leading. We don't intend TO mean
the animal on -four legs, but the brute
who walks on two and calls himself a
man.
The above has been called forth by an
offer of a large advertising flrm to make
us rich in two years. The advertising
proposition was under consideration
something like three quarters Of a sec
and and was her rejected. 1T was re
jected because we saw that If We took it
up we shoul'l bankrupt the tirm-and
we did not care TO do that. The propo-
sition is d mild one. They only wanted
~ inches, double column, Of space, for
which they offered to pay the muniticent
sum of 81 per month. The contract was
to run for two years and VI felt that If
we only had the heart to take il up W.
could have retired at the end OF two
years with the magnificent sum Of S24
to our credit-if we didn't have to go to
the poorhouse before that period.
Advertising hogs are abroad in the
land. They ask for niue-tenths of IA
mans paper and agree to pay him for
onc-hundredth part of it. If all the
weekly papers in the land would give
them the marble heart they would soon
have to pay decent prices or go out Of
business. What say you, brethren?
Lets freeze them out.

No Difference Between Them.

What are the silver Republicans going
TO do about Warren's vote on the tinan-
bowling for the Wyoming end OF the
Denver News. The answer is easy. The
silver Republicans will continue to
vote the Democratic ticket, propanly,
just as they have done-except those
who are no longer silver Republicans.
In truth, the only difference between a
silver Republican and a Democrat is
that the former is over anxious to hunt
some excuse to Justify his so-called pol
itiual faith, while the Democrat doesn't
think that excuses are needed. He is
simply Il Democrat and isn't ashamed Of

Worth More than Free Silver.

Wool at twenty cents a pound aud
good prices for live stock are worth more
to Wyoming than free coinage of silver
and its accompanying decentralization of
business. One is the result of republi-
can policy and the other the promise
of democracy. 1t ought not to take the
people of this state long to decide with
which side of the contest they shodld
line up.-Crook County Monitor.

1898 was 5.25 mills. Therefore
Natrona's state tax upon lands
and improvements in 1898 was
Just sS02.93.
In Natrona county there are
just las townships of land, aggre-
eating approximately 3.3l7, 100
acres. Leased at 3 cents per acre
this quantity of land would bring
a return to the state of 500, $3.50
per annum. It would return more
in n year than the present state
tax does in ten years.
Why is it that N%atrona's vast
acreage has been almost untouch-
ed by the homesteader and the
desert entryman? 1t is partially
because of the fact that it is i'm
possible for the small ranchman
to maintain an existence against
the present free range condition.
Without the protection which a
few sections of leased lands or
open range gives to the man with
n homestead and small means, it
is suicide to settle in the center
o. a vast area given to the ranging
of sheep. The grass is "sheepedh
off to his dooryard and he is left
helpless. With the protection
of a leasehold upon a few sections
of land, he can make money.
Between Rawlins and Green
River there are at least Is town
ships of land upon which there
has not been a filing of any char
ucter during the past ten years.
There are many streams of water
flowing through some Of these
townships, but no one dare to
make the attempt to reclaim the
land against the adverse conditions
presented. This vast empire is
controlled by the s]heepmen Of
Carbon county. Within the rail
road limits they have nearly all
the railroad lands leased and are
now applying for the remainder.
The government land they expect
to use free of charge. No one OBJ
jects to it and no one is making
any attempt to hinder them. The
sheep industry is the greatest in
our state. 1t has been given the
fostering care of protection and
the price of wool and mutton is
now so high that some of our
most thrifty tiockmasters aver
that they can make 10 per cent
per annum. Should they object
to the granting of 100000 acres
of land to the state? This would
be about 4 per cent Of the vacant
land now within our borders.
Couldn't the stock interests afford
to pay the small amount asked for
the leasing of this tritling portion
of the public domain when they
are given all the remaining 96 per
cent absolutely free of charge?
There is now n bill before con-
gress asking for the cession of The
entire public domain to the states,
and it is not probable that one
will be presented at this session
of congress. Mr.. Mcndells
2.000,0OO mere bill is lnade subject
to entry under the land laws of
the United States, so that the oh
lection urged by the people who
signed the Casper petition is
met.
Let the sheepmen of Natrona
county come to the front like 10y

zens and insist upon paying their
portion of the burden of gov.
