SENATE STILL DEBATING PHILIP
PINE TARIFF.
HANSBROUCH TAKES WATER
When lnsuIar Bill is Disposed of Ir-
rigation Measure Will Become
Unfinished Business.

Washington, Feb. 6.-For four hours
today the senate had the Philippine
tariff bill under discussion. The
measure was completed so far as the
Philippine committee is concerned, ali
of it's amendments being adopted.
Several other amendments, however,
will be offered, one or two being pend
ing.
Toward the close of the session tile
discussion became heated. In re-
sponse to resolution offered several
days ago by Mr.. Rawlins of Utah, the
secretary Of war transmitted to the
senate the sedition laws enacted by
the Philippine commission They
were read iii full and Immediately
drew the fire of the opponents of the
governments Philippine policy.
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts express
sed his astonishment that suc:l laws
should be enforced by the government
authorities.
Mr.. Foraker OF Ohio read frGln the
revised statutes of the United States
the laws Of congress relating 10 the
crime of treason and similar offenses
against the government and said that
the acts passed by the Philippine COM
mission were almost identica! in their
language with the laws enacted by
congress in the days of the fathers of
| the republic and that there was moth
ing unprecedented or unusual about
them.
The Ohio senator was interrupted
continually having severl warm col
| loquies with senators who were Op.
posing him. In one of them he an
nounced with great earnestness that
the great American army never would
return from the Philippines until it
| returned victorious, and that gentle
men in and out of congress, rail about
it as they might ought thoroughly t.,
understand that fact.

men might well differ on any Of the
great questions now before the coun-

to the country and were doing their
duty as they saw it,

Virginia delivered speech in which
he advocated an investigation of the

Repairing County Bridge.

The county Commissioners have
men engaged in repairing the
western approach to the large
iron bridge across the North Platte
river at this place. The supports,
which were wood, had rotted away
and the approach had sagged bad
ly under the constant strain of
heavy freight teams and had be-
come really dangerous to travel.
Stone supports are being put in
and the ground leading to the APP
proach has been raised and the as
cent to the bridge propermade very
much easier. This work was very
much needed and we are glad that
the Commissioners are doing the

TRIAL OF TOM HORN.
For the Murder of Willie Nickel, Near
Iron Mountain. Wyoming, on the 18th
day Of July. lsol-Defenss will At
tempt an Alabi Names Of Jury who
Will Hear the Case.

The trial of Tom Horn, the cat,
tie detective, on the charge of
numbering little Willie Nickel,
neal Iron Mountain, Wyoming,
on the 18th day of July, 1901, was
was begun in the district court at
Cheyenne on Friday, the 10th
inst.
The prosecution will attempt to
supplement the confession of
Horn to the bloody deed to Depu-
ty U, S. Marshal, Joseph LeFors,
which was overheard by Deputy
Sheriff Smalley and Charles Ona-
haus. by other testimony equally
strong in its effect to bind the
prisoner to the deed.
The defense will, among other
things, attempt to prove an alabi,
though its ability to do that now
seems rather shaky, as evidence
will be forth coming to show that
Playa, who AYERS that he saw Tom
Horn thirty miles away from the
scene of the murder an hour after
it occurred, was himself a long
distance from the spot he claims
at that time, making hay.
The trial is exciting a great
deal of interest. There are at
least 100 witnesses for the prose-
cution and a number for the de-
Tense, and it is expected that it
will last two weeks, or even long
er. Contrary to all expectation a
jury to try the case was easily Sc
cured. The names of the jury
men are as follows:
j.. E. Barns, Fl. NJ. Yoder, G. II.
Tolson (colored,) Charles Stamm,
E. Seaborn, w. H. Thomas, q.

HON. CHARLES N. POTTER,
CANDIDATE FOR REELECTION 10 THE
SUPREME BENCH.

Hon G. n. Potter, the republi-
can candidate for Judge of the
Supreme Court to succeed him
self, is probably one of the most
popular men in the state Of Wyo.
ming. Ever since he came TO
Cheyenne, in 1876, and hung out
his shingle as a practicing attor-
ney, he has been justly popular
and has always enjoyed the conf
dence and esteem, both of his
friends and those opposed to him
in a political way.
In February, 1891, Mr.. Potter
was appointed to the Office of at
torney general of the state of Wy
oming, a position which he held
up to the time when he took his
seat on the supreme bench in
January, 1895. As attorney gen.
eral Judge Potter was nominated
by the Republican state conven-
ton of that year as n candidate
for associate justice of the su-
preme court of the state.
He was elected by a large ma
Jority in November and in Janu.
airy, 1895 took his seat on the su-
preme bench and on the death of
Judge Conway in 1897, he became
the chief justice, which position
he now holds.
AS already stated he is now a
candidate for reelection as one of
the justices of the supreme court
and if anything were wanting to
demonstrate the esteem in which
he is held by all the people of the
state it would only be necessary
to call attention to the fact that
the Democrats have put no candi-
date in the field against him.
Judge Potter has also been hon
ored with the highest office with
in the gift of the Masonic frater-
nifty of Wyoming, hat of Grand
Master, a position he fills with
great credit to the fraternity as
well as himself. Judge Potter's
election is universally conceded,
among democrats and republicans
alike.

on business connected with his
office. He is now engaged in get
ting the names, and the number

SO much timber before the ram In
September, broke out again last
week. He took a few men and
went to the scene of the fire with
a pack outfit. for the purpose OF
extinguishing 1t. The second
night after his arrival the late
rain end snow storm came and
very effectually did the work of
putting the fire out. He thinks
the Reserve is now safe from any
further fires this fall. He snys
that snow is the only efTectual
check to a large forest fire, like

Many Cannot Vote This Coming Election.

1t appears from the register of
voters that many of the people of
Saratoga cannot vote this coming
election. This is really too bad
but it is true Just the same. The
reason is that they failed to regis
ter. No one who did not register
can vote at the coming election.
This practically DISTINGUISHES half
the town. Hardly anyone from
the country took the trouble to
come in and register,
Yet-there is still a chance. If
those who did not take the pains
to register during the sitting of

How Willie Found a Way.

The way to succeed in business
is to find out for what one is fit
ted. The Boston Transcript tells
of a small boy whose niche in the
worlds work was waiting for him.
He got into the habit of teasing
his mother for pennies, until at
last she said: "Now Willie, l
don't like to give you pennies; if
you want money you should 90 to
work and earn it."
The boy remained thoughtful
for some time. Then within a
few days. the mother perceived
that Willie had plenty of pennies.
She wondered "A bit where he
got them, but did not question
him: but one summer day she
noticed that some sort of a hula
baloo was going on in the back
yard.
Looking out, she saw Willie
surrounded by a mob of boys, who
were yelling with delight.
she went down into the yard to
see what was going on, and, rs she
passed out, she saw stuck up on
the back wall of the house this
notice, quite neatly printed out
with a pencil:

THE REPUBLICAN
COUNTY TICKET.
Composed Of Coed Men and True-Their
Election Assured Republicans Should
Not he Over Confident.

Ihe republican county conven
ton which met in Rawlins recent
ly put forth an excellent county
ticket 1t is not the purpose of
The Sun to review each candidate
and give his pedigree-we do not
think that a very commendable
plan for, outside of the candidate
himself, not a corporal's guard
ever takes the time or trouble to
read what is generally considered
n rather highly colored picture.
1t ought to be enough for the
average citizen to know that the
candidates he is asked to vote for
are the selections made by a body
of representative men, who assem-
bled in the county seat for the
purpose of selecting men to. ill
the different county officers for
the ensuing two years.
The names of the men who
stand at the head of this paper
r all good men. Above all they
represent Republican principles
and Republican principles stand
for good government, for como
my, for law and order and, chief
of all, Prosperity. The affairs of
Carbon county have been admin
istered by republican office hold
ers for n number of years. What
is the result? The taxes are be-
ing decreased, the finances of the
county are being carefully and
honestly administered, the county
indebtedness is being paid off and
there is no cause for complaint
from any source.
On the other hand there is
great cause for congratulation that
the affairs of the county are in
such good hands. Before anyone
determines to cast his vote against
the republican ticket he should
count the cost. Under democrat
ic rule there has always been mis-
management of the county affairs;
there has always been an increase
%intaxation; there has always been
a squandering IF the finances of
the county and, instead of a de-
crease in the county's indebted
ness, there has always been a
great increase in that item.
Then why should any one de-
sire to haud the affairs Of the
county over TO the democratic
partyY Why should any one
wish to change from an able, eco
uomical administration to one
just the opposite? While there
will be many who will vote the
democratic ticket because of long
party utilization. we are quite
sure that the majority of the peo-
pile will be decidedly in favor of
letting we'll enough alone" and
again returning the republican
party to power.
Now, just a word to the dis
gruntled party There may
be men on that ticket whom you
personally do not like, or they
may not be your kind of men in
all respects. Is that a just rea-
son why you should scratch them
and vote for IA man on the oppo-
site side? Are you b~ettering the
matter any by voting for a man
whose IDEAS of good government
are dramatically opposite toyours?
Is that all your republican princi-
plies amoGnt toto strike off a
republican, because you do not
happen to like him, and take up a
man whose principles you do not
like?
Before you do any scratching,
dear voter, doa whole lot of good
hard tninking-and then 90 to
the polls and make just one X in
the right spot, shut your eyes and
let her 20, and you wort have any
thing to regret when the war is
over.
